OK so this is my first ever Spiderman story AND my first crossover story as well, I'm really excited about this and I hope you like it.
Just so you know these events take place after the TAMS2
Let's get on with the story….!
5 months since anyone had last seen Spiderman. After saving New York from Electro, he had disappeared.
Peter lay in his room, staring at the last picture he had taken of Gwen. He missed her a little more every day, and with each passing day it became harder to imagine life without her by his side.
It has been 5 months since the day that Gwen's life was stolen from her, but still, Peter found it hard to believe that she was really gone. Peter was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't notice his beloved aunt enter the room. He rarely locked his door anymore; Spiderman was gone so there was no risk that she would walk in and find her nephew dressed as New York's saviour.
"Peter?" Aunt May said, just loud enough to stir him from his thoughts.
Peter looked at her to acknowledge her presence, however, other than that he stayed quiet.
"It's almost 3:00pm and you haven't eaten anything yet," she said with concern. Pete mumbled as a reply, but did not move from his position on his bed. "I can't have you starving up here, come down stairs in 5 minutes for something to eat. Okay?"
"Okay-" Peter coughed as he used his dry throat for the first time that day.
"Clean up before you come down," May said, with a smile as she left, closing the door behind her.
Peter stayed on his bed for a few moments before jumping up and heading to the bathroom.
Avengers Tower
"In latest news, viewers are asked to take extra caution as a series of prison break outs have occurred during the past week."
The news report from the TV could be heard throughout the Avengers lounge as Tony sat watching it from the couch. "These 5 men, who have yet to be identified, escaped in the early hours of Friday morning with the help of unknown accomplishes. These men were all serving sentences following battles they had with Spiderman. These break outs are another example of the rising crime rates after the disappearance of Spiderman 5 months ago."
Tony and the other Avengers in the room watched and listened carefully to the report "Everyone seems to be asking the same question. Where is Spiderman and will he ever return?..."
The TV suddenly went black and Tony turned around sharply.
"Uh Cap? Some of us were actually watching that," Tony said sarcastically.
"It's depressing everyone else, Stark," Clint said from across the room and everyone nodded.
"Can't help but wonder," Bruce said, looking at the blank screen before lifting his gaze to look out the window to the New York skyline.
"Yes, we'd all love to know what happened to Spidey," Tony said, moving from the couch towards the kitchen/bar.
"Who knows, he vanished after the battle with Electro," Steve said to the group. "He could have been injured," Steve suggested
"Or worse…" Clint added.
"I've seen his moves, the guy's tough, a good fighter. I don't think he would be that badly injured after the fight with Electro and the Goblin," Natasha said as she stared into the distance, thinking about the whole Spiderman thing.
"I'd like to find him," Tony said, as he poured himself a drink and spoke to Jarvis. "Jarvis bring up everything on Spiderman."
"Good luck with that," Clint smirked, knowing this would get him nowhere close to finding out what happened.
Tony looked at and flicked through hologram videos, images and articles of Spiderman, hoping to find something that would tell him what happened to the webslinger. Give him one clue that he could use to find more and eventually piece the puzzle together.
As Peter entered the kitchen, he saw the end of the news report about the missing convicts. He turned it off when they mentioned his alter ego and sat down to a plate of food.
Peter poked at the food on his plate as he thought about the whole thing. He didn't like seeing a news report or article about someone being in an accident or being mugged or killed etc. etc. when he knew Spiderman could have stopped that and saved them, but then he'd think about Gwen and how he thought he could save her. He could have and he should have saved her, but he had been too slow. He had failed her, and putting on the suit after failing Gwen would be an insult to her memory.
He had told Harry that Spiderman gave people hope and after Gwen's death, after seeing the hope in her eyes as she fell, the trust that he'd catch her and he hadn't. Now that Gwen was dead his hope was gone and he had none left to give to the people of New York. That was how he reminded himself not to put on the suit again, not to give people false hope that Spiderman would save them. Because he might fail them like he failed Gwen.
Mr, Fisk stood behind Harry in the cell as they spoke.
"How did the mission go?" Harry asked, without turning around.
"Completely as planned. We now have the small army you talked about on our last visit," Mr. Fisk said, smiling from under his hat. "All we need now is the last member."
At this Harry turned around and gave him a wicked smirk. "Well then, it's about time." Harry turned back and smiled evilly.
"Not quite yet," Fisk said.
"What?!" Harry said harshly.
"No need to panic, the time will come soon enough and when it does both The Avengers and Spiderman will meet their end," Fisk said, calming Harry. "Can't rush these sort of things."
"I assumed with all the funding money you're getting, you could string some brain cells together and get me out faster!" Harry said, glaring at the wall. "What is Hydra even doing with my money?"
"They're using it to ensure our victory Mr Osborn. The wheels are already in motion and soon Spiderman will be yours and the Avengers ours!" Fisk said, leaving the cell before turning back to Harry. "Are you sure you don't want to attack the spider when he's on his own?"
"No, draw him out first. Slowly, I'll take what little hope he has left, and then, I'll kill him." Harry stared at the wall as Fisk left, thinking about his revenge and everything he would do to his ex-friend.
