Chapter One: Director Coulson
Author's note: Well, hello there! Welcome to my Spiderman/ Avengers fanfic, with a little bit of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. It takes place after the second season of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, a year or so after the first Avengers movie, and after the Amazing Spiderman. Hope you guys like it!
Peter swung from building to building, enjoying the rush of adrenaline as he looked over New York City. The dark night was illuminated by the bright lights of the city's buildings.
It was another night of being Spiderman, the red and blue clad vigilante. He wouldn't give this up for the world. Or would he? Just last week, he had missed meeting Harry at the movies, due to him being out so late as Spiderman. Was it worth it?
His Spidey Sense tingled, and he jumped from the building, heading toward an alley, where he suspected a mugging was about to take place.
"I guess I'll have to ponder it while saving the citizens of New York. Spiderman, to the rescue!"
A-V-E-N-G-E-R-S- A-S-S-E-M-B-L-E-
Tony Stark, billionaire, playboy, and philanthropist, was bored out of his genius mind.
"Star Spangled, any ideas what we're doing here?"
He directed his question to the Super Soldier sitting on his couch, flipping through a magazine.
Steve glanced up briefly at Tony, then returned to his magazine.
"No idea, Stark. Fury said he wanted us to meet someone, and so I came here like he asked. Your guess is as good as mine."
Tony Stark's personal AI, JARVIS, interrupted the conversation.
"Actually, Captain Rogers, Mr. Stark's guess is probably a bit more accurate than yours, considering he set up the meeting."
Tony glared at the ceiling, the closest he could get to scowling at the AI.
"You organised this meeting, Stark?" Natasha looked up from the barstool she was perched on, examining her freshly painted nails.
Tony glanced sheepishly at the master assassin, shrugging his shoulders.
"Yeah, Fury reached out to me first. Did you see he ditched the eyepatch? Now I can't call him Captain Hook any more."
Steve's eyebrows wrinkle in confusion, but he waved it off.
"Let me get this straight. Stark, you organised a meeting but you have no idea who it's with?"
Another voice joined the mix as the Avenger's resident archer spoke up.
"Honestly, is anyone surprised?"
Tony looked over to where Clint Barton was stretched out on the couch, his bow and quiver within arms reach.
"Cut it out, Robin Hood."
"Who is this "Robin Hood" you speak of?" Thor's voice boomed out from the kitchen, where Bruce and Thor enjoyed a cup of coffee.
"Tony, this mystery visitor here yet?" Bruce looked exhausted, probably due to Thor overhearing him mention radio waves, and Thor insisting he learn about these "waves of radio".
A new voice added into the mix, one Tony had not heard in a long time.
"I assume I'm the mystery visitor? I would have figured that Fury would have at least told you who was coming."
Phil Coulson stepped out of the elevator, flanked by a female agent with dark hair.
The sound of glass shattering could be heard, as the glass full of beer Tony had been holding made contact with the floor.
"Coulson? But… you died! Loki killed you!" Steve stood in front of Coulson, as if he couldn't believe Phil was standing there.
"Fury helped save me. Tahiti, it's a magical place." Coulson smiled and exchanged a glance with the agent standing next to him.
"It's great to see you again, Agent Coulson." Natasha was suddenly standing next to Tony. As usual, her footsteps were dead silent.
"Director. Director Coulson. " The agent standing behind Coulson finally spoke up. "I'm Agent Melinda May."
"After SHIELD's collapse, Nick Fury made me the head of the new S.H.I.E.L.D. No more corruption from inside. Hydra is gone from the ranks of S.H.I.E.L.D." Coulson explained.
"Congratulations, Son of Coul." Thor clapped his hand onto Coulson's back, throwing him forward.
"Thanks, Thor. Now, to business." He made to give a medium sized file to Tony, but remembered Tony's feeling about being handed things, and instead handed a file to Bruce, who then passed it to Tony.
"We're looking for a vigilante based out of New York City." Bruce glanced at the file over Tony's shoulder, pushing his glasses up on his nose.
"Spiderman." Bruce clarified for the remainder of the team.
"Spiderman? Who's Spiderman?" Captain America looked confused, looking at the pictute Natasha had Googled of the red and blue clad vigilante.
"Seriously, Spangles? Spiderman?" Tony tossed the file to Steve, who flipped through it.
"Yes, Spiderman. Even before the fall of S.H.I.E.L.D, we've had our eyes on Spiderman. Now, especially, it's important to keep track of gifted individuals. Plus, he would make a great addition to the Avengers team, wouldn't you say?"
Tony rolled his eyes. "Let me guess. You have no idea where he is and you want us to find him."
May gave a short laugh. "He's got you pegged, Coulson."
Coulson glanced at the agent, before returning to his conversation with Tony. "Yes, we need you to find him. And fast. There's a new threat on the horizon."
The two agents made for the elevator when Tony recovered from the information dump. "What's this new threat?"
Coulson laughed and smiled. "That, Mr. Stark, is classified."
