Avengers Tower, Medical wing June 1st 2:44 PM

(Spider-woman POV)

Jessica Drew was currently staring a heavily restrained Spider-man who had just awoken not even 5 minutes ago. Turns out he has a rather strong tolerance to most forms of pain medication. She didn't know if that was from having a good healing factor, or because he's been that injured or worse often enough his body has grown a form of resistance to it.

She hopes it's the former but given that he was in HYDRA's care she thinks it was more the latter. Still even though he has restraints on him to hold all but the strongest of heroes and or villains all over his arms, legs, and chest, he looked to be fairly comfortable.

"Hello" Jessica started off the soon to be rather interesting conversation. She continued to study the man's appearance, who from what she could guess was maybe a year or so older than her. He looked to be about 5'11 to her 5'9 and had a gymnast like body. His hair was a bit short, likely it was completely cut off and is still growing back, and his eyes were brown with a tinge of green along the edges. She will admit that the man was fairly cute. If Carol was here and they were both unaware of this man's circumstance she'd tell Jess to get in there and claim him before she or another woman does.

"…" came the reply of for now named Spider-man

"I'm Spider-woman" Jessica said with her mask/cowl already on before she got off the elevator with Steve.

"…" Spider-man stared at her with an empty expression

Jessica couldn't say she was too surprised that he wasn't responding. Or that he seemed to have little to no visible emotion. HYDRA really went the extra mile to have a mindless soldier to control.

"So… are you in any pain at all?" Jessica winced at that question 'Of course he probably is, it's how he ended up here in the first place.' She thought ruefully. She stared at him for a few moments to see if she would get a response and when none came she frowned.

"How's it feel to be free of HYDRA finally?" she asked. Jessica noticed that for a brief moment she saw Spider-man's right hand's fingers twitched ever so slightly. She didn't know if that he was happy, sad, or angry that he's no longer with them.

Jessica decided to try something that could get him to be more vocal, she doesn't usually like to manipulate people like this but she figured he was tense and likely nervous and this could help calm him down. She slowly used her pheromones to try and see if she could get the man to relax. She watched him and noticed how he suddenly went ridged and then to her intrigue and surprise glare at her, she swore she even heard a growl.

'Well…' she thought 'this might be a little harder than I thought.'

Avengers medical wing observation room: same time (Steve Rogers POV)

Steve and the rest of the Avengers current members including Tony were sitting in the observation room watching the two Spiders talk, or Jessica talk while the man remained quiet.

Adam Brashear aka Blue Marvel was the first to speak "So this man was able to single handedly take on Rogers, Barton and Romanov and win?"

Janet spoke next "Yeah… by the time me Hank and Tony got there Clint was down and out, Natasha not far behind him and Steve was on his last legs"

"He got lucky is all" came Clint's defense "I assumed that being frozen and only recently thawed out he would be all sluggish and out of it. Not ready to instantly kick our ass and make it look easy"

"Well Legolas, you know what they say about assuming" came Tony Stark's reply which earned him a scowl from the currently crippled purple archer.

"He even was able to still stand back up after I stepped on him" said Hank Pym "Either he has a really high pain tolerance or he was determined to fight on till the bitter end."

"Do you think it was a wise idea to bring the man back here Rogers?" asked Natasha who was standing next to him

Steve was quite has he thought about his decision to bring the man with them instead of leaving him with the other HYDRA goons to be arrested and imprisoned by SHIELD

"Yes. I rather have him here so we can keep an eye on him. If Fury got his hands on him there's no telling what could happen." Steve said

"You really think Fury and SHIELD would use him to possibly take us out?" came Adam's reply

"No, at least I don't think but I rather not take the risk with him being under Fury's control. Besides I think this Spider-man has been used enough as it is" Steve remarked

"But can he be trusted? I mean yeah his back story isn't all that different from Jessica's, but she did escape while he stayed right?" Clint said

"No, Jessica was able to escape because between the two she was more expendable. Spider-man was true prize that HYDRA wanted to keep" came the reply of Tony "They kept him under such tight security that they made Alcatraz look like a joke in comparison."

"Jessica seems to be done with her one sided conversation" Janet said.

On the monitor the assembled heroes watched as Spider-woman made her way out of the room and towards observation.

"Let's continue this debate when Jessica gets here" Natasha said "She has as much say in deciding Spider-man's fate and even more so because of her connection to him even if it is distant"

"Agreed" came the response of all of the other Avnegers as they continued to watch Spider-man on the video and waited for Jessica to join them.

And done. Well we now have an idea of what the Avengers think of the entire situation. Next chapter will be dealing with Jessica helping decide Spider-man's fate and discovering more information about him. And SHIELD will be appearing in accordance to Spider-man's fate.
