make me know you really care.

Peter shook his head. "Don't get yourself in shit on my account."

"Don't worry about it. My friend knows what he's doing." Amanda spoke gently. "I could have everything in ten minutes."

"That quick?" Peter asked. "You serious?"

Amanda nodded her head affirmatively. "Stark knows what he's doing. All I need to do is place a call."

Peter considered by himself for a moment. Stark? What kind of name was that, it was almost as bad as Quill. Wait no, that wasn't what he was meant to be thinking about. "Oh fuck it," he told her, "do it."

Amanda nodded her head. "Gotcha." She spoke, pulling out her cellphone. She quickly punched in Tony's number and waited for him to pick up.

Peter leaned back in his seat. "Dude doesn't answer fast does he?"

"Shh!" Amanda spoke as Tony answered. "Tony, it's Mandy. I need you to do me a huge favor. No questions asked, and I'll owe you big. Are you up for it?" She smiled brightly when Tony agreed. "Awesome! I need you to hack into SHIELD's computer system and look up a file labeled Quill." Amanda whispered the last part. "Alright, I'll call you back in ten minutes. Thanks, Tony."

Peter kept quiet again. He realised what was bugging him, for the first time in a long time since he'd first been taken from Earth he guessed - he felt unsafe.

About ten or so minutes later, Amanda called Tony back. "Mandy again. Did you find anything?" Amanda's face went stark (no pun intended) white as she listened to Tony talk. "Thanks, Stark...I owe you." She whispered, deflated. Once she hung up, she looked at Peter. "We're getting you the fuck out of here."

Peter stared at Amanda. "What?" he asked. If something was up he wanted to know what it was. He half stood up. "You need to go get my stuff. My guns and - Lily left them with security."

Amanda nodded her head. "Okay, got it. I'll explain everything on the way out of here." She spoke. "Just sit tight and I'll come get you." Amanda headed off to security to grab Peter's things.

Peter nodded. What else could he do? He watched Amanda leave and hoped she got back before Lily did.

"Joe, I need Quill's stuff." Amanda spoke. The young intern looked at her if she were crazy. "It's an emergency-- now!" Amanda snapped. Joe scurried to grab Quill's gun and walkman, handing it to Amanda. "Thanks." She quickly spoke before heading back to Quill.

Peter stood up when Amanda entered the room. "You never told me what all the hurrying is about."

I FORGOT THE BUTTON

"Okay," Amanda handed Peter his things before sitting back down across from him. "So Tony looked at your SHIELD file. It has you listed as being deceased."

Peter picked his belt up and looped it around his waist. As he went to holster the first of his guns he stopped and looked up at Amanda, staring at her. "It what?" he asked. That didn't sound good. At all.

"According to SHIELD, you're dead." Amanda bit her bottom lip. "This is bad. Like, really bad."

"Well uh when did I die?" Peter asked, he sounded a little dumbfounded.
