Gwen sat on the chair. Her eyes never leaving Grey. Grey was kneeling on the wooden floor with a medkit to his right side.
" Let us begin " He said as he reached to Gwen's oversized tshirt.
Gwen reacted quickly getting a hold of his arm.
" Umm I will do it " A blush formed on her face. She let go of his arm and watched Grey's eyes pierce hers
" Oh did I invade your personal space ?" Grey asked.
" A little bit yeah " Gwen nodded.
" I apologize. I still have a problem with that I suppose " Grey said.
" I do not mind you know " Gwen whispered.
" What was that ?"
" Nothing "
Gwen just lifted her shirt to over the wound but just below her boobs. Grey got a good look at the wound. It was a long deep gush formed by a blade of some sorts. The bleeding has stopped which was in itself a miracle.
" Did you swing back home like this ?" Grey asked as he took antiseptic to clean the wound. Gwen winced a bit but responded.
" Yeah, P- Spiderman got into trouble with his girlfriend last time he took me back home. I did not want them to fight again this time "
" Uh huh. I do not get why Mj would be mad that Peter chose to help you "
Gwen paused. She looked at Grey still focused on her wound.
" Spiderman is not Peter " She said. Trying as much to sound casual.
" I have lived in a community full of superpowers for a few years. I think I can tell if someone has powers "
Gwen paused to process that information. For as long as she knew him he had never revealed anything about his past so this came as a shock to her.
" Your body heals far quicker than normal. I believe this is why you are currently not at the hospital. Or even managed to swing back here. " Grey stated.
" Yeah. You should have seen my other wounds. This is like a normal Tuesday for me " She boasted slightly.
Grey did not say anything, just looked at her.
" No crime fighting for 5 days "
" But.... "
" No buts. New York is always going to have another psycho running around, it is a cycle. At the very least Peter can cover for you. "
Gwen did not say anything for a few seconds.
" Are we clear ?"
" Yes sir "
Quiet followed for a minute or so before Gwen asked what had been bothering her.
" If you lived in a community of superheroes, does that mean you have powers ?"
Grey nodded.
" It is nothing catchy. It is called energy absorption. It lets me absorb any form of energy including kinetic energy. In turn it enhances my physical abilities or I can discharge it. "
Gwen's eyes shone.
" That's so cool. The versatility of it is so enormous. You literally get stronger the more you fight. You can absorb electricity to save people or fight someone like Electro. You are so overpowered "
" Not really. My energy absorption is indeed powerful but my body cannot contain a lot. At most I can do is absorb 600 megajoules worth of energy. It sounds a lot but it is not "
" But that's still so cool " Gwen said still ranting about the capabilities of his ability
" Umm so how did you get your powers ?"
" I was born with it "
" Ooh you are a mutant ?"
Grey nodded.
" I don't mean to pry but don't you think you should have joined Xavier's school for the gifted ? I can not possibly understand what you might have gone through in life but surely it would be better to be with them "
" I have my reasons Gwen. And besides, I would rather not be at the fore front of those mutant battles anymore "
" I understand.... Do you hate your powers "
Grey did not say anything for a moment.
" No "
" And what do you think of the X-men ?"
Grey who had picked the bandage stopped momentarily. He looked at Gwen.
" You are awfully curious about my life "
Gwen tried to defend herself but Grey stopped her.
" The reason why I would rather not be involved in those mutant politics is because I was in the brotherhood and the reason I do not wish nor will I ever join the X-men is because my half sister is there "
Gwen really wanted to know more. She was practically itching but something told her to stop.
" I understand , I am sorry for making you remember bad memories "
" Don't be. They aren't bad memories "
Grey said as he wrapped the bandage wrapped around Gwen. Gwen was quiet not wanting to say anything.
" How did you get your powers ?"
" Me ? I got bitten by a radioactive spider back when I was interning for Oscorp. At first it was a bit hard for me but I got used to it you know. At first I enjoyed the power I mean who wouldn't but my mom died to a villain because of a mistake I made and that broke me for a while. I was lucky enough to have friends who helped me through that tough times. After I was better , I vowed to never let anyone else lose their parent like I did. Heh Peter always tells me this quote he heard from his uncle. ' With great power comes great responsibility ' . It's a really nice quote and it has pushed me to be better everyday. "
" Hmm. All done " Grey said. He stood up looking at the kitchen but paused for a moment. His arm reached out to Gwen to embrace her. Gwen hugged was startled by this at first, her cheeks flushing redder than usual but then she got comfortable and hugged him back.
Grey then let go and walked to the microwave. He punched some digits and the microwave lit up. It showed 2 bowls inside. After 1 minute he removed it and walked to the sitting room. His eyes gestured Gwen to follow him. to the couch. There was a small table that Grey had already cleaned. He placed the bowls down, took out the remote and turned on the tv. Gwen sat down picking one of the bowls and eating the contents within. It was rice curry. Her tongue melted at the taste of the rice.
" Oh God , dad should really teach me how to make this stuff "
" Fresh Prince ?" Grey asked
" Yeah lets start it over. Last time I fell asleep on the first episode. And you did not wake me " Gwen whined.
" You were tired " Grey shrugged.
He sat down after the first episode started. He too took his bowl eating the contents with dignity compared to Gwen who ate like a ravenous wolf. The show was fun. The two well Gwen laughed a lot. And before they knew it, It was morning and they were asleep.
George woke up to his alarm clock. It was 5:30 am. He headed straight to the shower and after that wore his police uniform. It was tidy. It always was but.... His hands paused when he tied his tie and a hallucination of his wife tying his tie overlapped with his.
He instead took a deep breath and finished preparing himself. The door opened to his room and he walked to make his and the kids breakfast. His tracks however stopped. Fatherly rage bubbled in him but it disappeared just as quickly as it appeared.
He instead walked to the front of the TV, fished out his phone and with a flash of light took a photo. He looked at the photo to confirm it's contents. Gwen and Grey were dead asleep , their heads resting on each other. Gwen sat cross legged, one of her hand holding Grey's, her hair shaggy with some covering Grey's face and her mouth covered with drool and food. Grey on the other hand sat a bit upright however his torso was still leaning on Gwen. Even his sleep felt dignified. He looked soo peaceful. Something George saw as a very rare occurrence.
George did not wake them. He instead went, cooked breakfast, ate his and left a note for the two before going to work.
' They will be fine ' He thought to himself.
A/N : Oh God sooo shitty. You guys read this slop ? Well atleast you know it is 100% human made.
