Amazing Like You (Peter Parker x Reader)

Summary:

The reader is a new recruit for the Avengers, and almost instantly becomes friends with Peter; due to their same likeness for the sciences and the fact that they’re the same age (18, for the story’s case) which aids in being 100% relatable with each other (you know, besides the fact of genders and such). The reader is quite new with experimenting with her powers and she has a slight jealousy towards Peter since he has had more time to work with his spider skills; which results in her feeling as if she is the weak link of the group. This spurs the idea of going out by herself to discover what her powers can really do, which might not end up going the way she planned...

Notes:

So I just wanted to put out a preview of something I’ve written a few months ago (and that’s practically finished already) so I decided why not? It’s almost done and gives me the opportunity to post something on here related to my writing instead of keeping you guys waiting for the next Remember chapter! So, without further ado, here is a preview of Amazing Like You!

Chapter 1: Preview

Chapter Text

“Come on, Y/n! Just push yourself a little more, remember what I showed you!”

Pushing yourself. You know, the thing you do when you’re determined about overcoming a barrier and accomplishing a milestone; when you want to prove to yourself that you can do it. That’s what the goal has been as of recent, proving yourself not only to your team but to you. What’s the point of being on a team when you have the constant feeling of never being able to amount to what your team can do both banded together and as their own separate hero?

So then you make the decision to get help, to want to know more about what you can do and how you can channel that part of you to help in battle. But, even with coming to that decision how would you fair when no one can spare the time of day?

“I thought I had one more to go with Vision? Isn’t he going to help me with my powers?” In reality, she wouldn’t be upset over free time but this was the fifth-time training regarding her powers were pushed aside for some greater issue, not that she wanted to put herself before the safety of others.

How would you feel when one of your friends had the chance to do what you wanted to do constantly, to use their powers and go around helping people the way you always wanted to?

“Where were you that you had to come in costume?” She inquired, eyebrows raising slightly as she put her laptop on the center table. “Oh, it was just a simple bank robbery, nothing big though, it was one of those small ones on the corner of 5th and 6th.” He shrugged it off as if saying he had gone to Game Stop or some other casual place, which elicited a pang in Y/n’s heart, her words from training earlier echoing in her mind. “Oh.”

Sometimes, you have to take chances into your own hands and help yourself to get the job done, but will it be as fruitful as you want it to be? Do you believe the outcome would have been the same as one where you were to wait for someone from your team to help you out?

Well. There’s only one way to find out.
