A normal mission, that's all they wanted. A normal mission with, they don't know, rescuing some hostages in an unfortunate events or something...but just not this. But no, these days were filled with so much Hydra they all decided to burn the word down into the depths of hell.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y give me scans of the base" Tony Stark asked his A.I. as he flew above the facility
"I am detecting high heat signatures from the three sublevels, but the volcano next to it is projecting some of the heat so it is unsure of the amount of any personal heat" the A.I. said in her usual calm demeanor
"I spot two disguised snipers up on the roof" Natasha's voice come through while she laid in her disguise with binoculars with her eyes trained on the snipers
"I got them" Clint lined up two arrows and carefully pulled the bow string back only to release it and strike their target perfectly in their neck
"Moves in guys" soon enough the door was blasted down and everybody in front of it was ready for a fight standing in their fighting stance
And that's what they got...a good fight that some were happy with. It was Hydra against the Avengers, who were severely outnumbered, and no matter how bad the numbers seemed to them they never let up their ground and had the upper hand throughout it all. Steve flug his shield forward hitting a few Hydra agents before they got the chance to lay a hand on Bucky. Natasha striked a punch at one's neck and served a roundhouse kick towards his head while grabbing another kneeing in the gut then the face.
"I'm going towards the command room" and with that she extracted herself from the fight and easily made her way towards the command center shooting down any guards that went after her
"Remind me the purpose of this mission again?" Tony's voice sounded annoyed and tired, things that they all felt
"Retrieve the information from this base and shut it down" Steve punched the last guard around them down and looked around
"Boss I am detecting no more personal heat signatures"
"Guys you might want to come and see this" Natasha's voice broke through sounding a bit worried making them immediately drop their sense and run over to where she is at knowing how clam and collect she is at all times
They entered the room and followed her gaze at the big screen in front of them making their blood run cold and their emotion furious. What were these sickos thinking? Surely they won't be that bold…would they? Kidnapping someone so close? Someone who they all love even if some are more stubborn than others. But a kid nonetheless. A kid that belong two Tony and Steve.
"What the fuck?" Tony's voice asked angered at the sight of his son's smiling face unaware at the picture that must've been taken from a distance
"Looks like Hydra has been busy" Natasha said typing away on the keyboard waiting for the information to download on the drive
"Boss I am detecting a dangerously high amount of volcano activity" F.R.I.D.A.Y. said thankfully breaking the concentration of the man's angry glare at the screen
"F.R.I.D.A.Y what's the likelihood of the volcano erupting"
"80% and rising quickly"
"We have to go now" Tony said shifting his weight from one to another looking at his other teammates
"Give me one more minute" Natasha said typing away fiercely trying to get the all of the information
"96% probability of an eruption"
"We don't have a minute Nat" Tony said a bit angrily causing Steve to place a cooling hand on his shoulder
"And done" she pulled the drive out and they all ran out of the base just in time for the volcano to burst destroying the base in a matter of seconds
They were silent on their way home, well mostly Tony the rest seem to mumble things not wanting to mess with the man when he was in a mood especially after the information he found out. After he retrieved the drive from Natasha he immediately looked at the file they had on his son.

"Tony" Steve came from behind him and wrapped his arms around the torso of the man who seemed to be lost in thought
"They know all about him" he whispered just enough for the super soldier to hear him
"i just don't understand, I did my best to keep him away and hidden safe from Hydra and they still found him" he rubbed his face and leaned forward out of the man's embrace earning a sigh from the super soldier
"i know Tony and you did good but now the only answer now is to keep a close eye on Peter and protect him at all costs" Steve said kneeling down and guiding Tony's face up to look at him
"And don't even try to place all of the blame on yourself because it's not your fault Tony" Steve said so softly Tony spread a warm smile and gave his husband a kiss on his lips
They bring out the best in each other and honestly it's what they both love in each other. Especially at a moment like this. But they both felt the dread deep down when they looked at the screen and saw their smiling boy. What did Hydra want with him? And it wasn't just them who asked, everybody did and everybody got the same answer. What ever is it, it isn't good.
….
"Dude are your serious?!" The excitement in his voice poured into his expression making the other person puck his lips out into a smile and nod his head
"Of course i am, this weekend you're invited to the Avenger compound" the smiling boy patted his best friend on the back of his shoulder who seemed to be in a daze
"No way…" He trailed off just imagining the weekend even if it was five days away
"You just have to promise me that you won't be creepy and blackout from excitement" Peter said glancing over from the corner of his eyes with a small smirk
"I can't promise the blacking out thing but the creepy thing i can. But wow i'm going to the Avenger compound" Need smiled as they both took their seat getting settled
"Dude you've been there before what's so special about it?"
"Because it's the Avengers!" Ned whispered loudly leaning close to Peter who rolled his eyes playfully
Buzz Buzz
Peter looked away from his friend, took his phone out of his pocket, and looked at the text message
You okay kiddo? -Tony to Peter
Peter subconsciously smiled at the protectiveness of his dad and typed back quickly, knowing the panic his dad will go through if he doesn't receive and answer fast enough.
Yea dad...just in my last period, talk to you later -Peter to Tony
He sent the message then put the phone away before the teacher caught him. Tuning into the lesson he felt the slightest feeling from his spidey-sense. Not enough to cause alarm but just enough to make it feel creepy. Almost as if some person was burning their eyes straight into him.
But it was fine right? Kids in class would stare at one another and some would subconsciously do it not realizing it at first. They would soon come to their senses and it would go away once their stare was gone. Only it didn't though.
"Mr. Stark?" The teacher pulled Peter away from his thoughts with a slight jump
"Uh..y-yes?"
"Care to answer question 39?" He felt the heat rise up in his face from pure embarrassment as he glanced down at the paper. He didn't do the question
Patrolling took longer than he thought it was making him late for his curfew, which his parents weren't happy with. Once he got home he passed out not even bothering with the homework until early in the morning when he was rushing it. He glanced over the question and took the most logical answer he could come up with.
"The character was dynamic from where she was stated as a calm and happy person to a nervous and scared person after the burning of her house" although he was considered a genius in math and science he nonetheless succeeded in his AP class when she gave a reassuring smile.
"Glad to know you're were still with us" she smiled and continued on with whatever she was saying until the bell rang where she told them their homework
"Dude do you think i will get to meet Thor this time?" Need grabbed Peter's upper arm in a daze while Peter smile with a roll of his eyes
"I have no idea Need he went to Asgard and hasn't contacted in a long while but if he does show up you'll be the first i'll tell" Peter smiled at the small gasp from the boy as they exit the school
"Hey Penis!" Peter groaned in annoyance and continued his way
He felt the hairs on the back of his neck stand up and didn't react when Flash shoved his shoulder walking past him.
"Maybe you should stop lying to everyone saying how you know the rest of the Avengers just because your dads" Flash smirked but circled around Peter who annoyed him to the best of his capabilities
"None of them would waste their time on you of all people" Flash then shoved Peter again and walked away leaving the two in a silence
"He's a dick" Peter whispered to his friend who snickered at the statement
"You got that right" he smiled and stopped at a crosswalk
That feeling creeped on Peter again, that nagging feeling of being watched. But he kept the conversation with his friend while the sensation slowly grew.
Once they split, with Ned taking a right and Peter walking forward, the Spidey-sense only grew until it was a sharp pain like tiny little needles poking at every part of you skin. But he was safe right? The Avengers tower is only a block away now and once he gets inside he is safe and sound. There's nothing to worry about...nothing to worry about. But even in those minutes the pain only grew and Peter was too terrified to look at what was causing it.
A sharp stabbing pain brought the boy into a run. He was absolutely terrified. Not once looking behind him as he bolted through the doors and quickly into the closing elevator with, just his luck, nobody in it.
Panting, he leaned his head against the elevator doors and closed his eyes trying to regain in composure. What the hell was that? God it was never like this before. Usually it would be a skin-crawling sensation or his hair being raised when there was an immediate danger. But this felt painful and it was weird.
"Hello Peter, you heart rate has increased as well as you breathing...shall i call boss?" F.R.I.D.A.Y's calming voice brought the boy from his thoughts with a shake of his head
"No" Peter whispered then swallowed a feeling back down into him "No i'll be fine"
He kept his warm forehead on the cool door and sighed at the calming sensation it seems to bring. He always seems to be warm that once he feels something cool it's like a satisfied feeling washing over him. He didn't even noticed when they reached the floor or when the doors opened until his senses and reflexes act at the last minute reaching out both his hands to stop himself from falling face first. He looked up and saw questionable but worried gazes from his parents.
"You okay Pete?" Steve asked getting up from his spot on the couch
"Uh...y-yea I'm fine" he smiled and walked out of the elevator straight to the kitchen "just hungry"
Peter opened a cabinet and pulled out some pop tarts that was part of Thor's supply but come on...one can't hurt right?
"Anything interesting happened at school kiddo?" Tony asked taking the pop tart away from the kid then gave him a sandwich and placed the pop tart back
Peter sort of froze at the question. Surely this new pain is just something that will just go away. But what is it is what's getting to him. This feeling wouldn't just appear out of nowhere with no appropriate cause. And unfortunately for him his dads noticed the slight pause.
"Pete your know your can talk to us about anything right?" Steve placed a hand on his shoulder which grounded Peter who took a bite of his sandwich
"Well nothing really happened at all just my senses are whacking out, hopefully they would be fine by the time Midterms come around" Peter shrugged his shoulders and cause his parents to sigh in relief
They know peter well enough to know when he was telling the truth or lying...or when he was holding information back to ease his parents worry. They were relieved...extremely relieved.
"Hey Pete why don't you stay here tonight instead of patrolling?" Tony asked leaning against the counter and making Peter snap his head up
"Yeah we can lay on the couch, pop some popcorn, and enjoy a movie" Steve said putting and arm around Tony's shoulder while Peter looked at them a bit wide eyed
He opened his mouth about to start protesting with the natural saying the people need Spiderman, of something even more convincing than that. But he quickly shut his mouth when he saw the tired desperate look in their eye. He hated when they would work themselves so hard it crashes on them hard. He also lived for these small memorable moments when neither of them would work on a new gadget, mission, or piles of homework.
Peter finished his sandwich and smiled so brightly at his dads "only if i get to pick the movie"
He was rewarded with a happy relieved smile and a ruffle of his hair. They both walked over to their son and place one hand on each of his shoulders.
"As long as it isn't any wild west movies that pops seems to like" Tony smirked up at the blonde man who rolled his eyes
"Of any of Tony's chic-flics"
