A/N: So this turned out to be a 2-part One-Shot. I just had to get this fun little thing out there. Unless another related idea comes to me, this will be it. I'm undecided as to what I'll write next for this series, but I got a few ideas. Regardless, this is written in the third-person & hope you enjoy.


:New Recruit:

It is a breezy afternoon at the New Avenges HQ. Steve and Natasha stand in front of the clear window for a wall, looking over some plans on a tablet. Suddenly, something smacks onto the window.

"Hey Romanogers!" The Spectacular Spider-Man planted himself right onto the glass.

"This kid again." Widow crossed her arms.

"I've come to sign on the dotted line! Also…your windows could use a little wiping."


The young hero in red and blue walks along with the two founding Avengers up on a curved pathway on the roof.

Steve has his hands on the belt buckle of his uniform. "So you finally accepted the offer."

"Better late than never, you procrastinator." Romanoff chimed in with a smirk.

Spidey chuckles. "Yeah, I swung by the tower, but Stark told me things have changed."

"They have…a lot." Steve stated somberly.

"Well, he gave me my golden ticket and sent me over here." Peter pulls out his laminated card and shows them his very own Avengers pass that Stark made for him. Widow nods at how legit his superhero I.D. looks and turns to Cap.

"I'm the new avenger."

Rogers smiles down at him. "I'll be the judge of that."


The New Avengers step into a dark room with their new recruit.

"What is this?" Peter asked. There was an echo that accompanied his voice.

Rows of lights flash on, revealing a large metal enforced atrium.

He utters in awe. "A training room…"

Captain America had pulled a lever down from the second floor balcony to switch on the lights. The Black Widow is standing by his side in her full gear. He pulls another lever at the control panel. Projection lights clicked out of the walls and transformed the entire space into a realistic simulator of a clean warehouse's cargo area beside a long window wall. Natural looking sunlight shines through.

The hologram masked everything, but Peter felt the walls and floor shift. He reaches out his hand to a steel latter beside him. He can grab it; it's tangible. Everything else must be as well. The training room had physically transformed as well to add to the reality of the environment.

Captain Rogers barks out. "Alright Spider-Man, let's see what you got!"

Peter noticed all the Avengers formed up several feet before him while he was distracted by the change of scenery around him. He stretches his arms and cracks his neck. "Here comes the initiation, here comes the-"

The Avengers charge right for him.

"Sweet MAMMA!"

He spins a web and narrowly escapes the accumulated attack from overhead. Parker lands on a stack of silver Stark Industries labeled boxes. "I expected a hazing, but geez guys c'mon."

"Hazing comes after you make the cut." Falcon swoops in, nearly slicing Peter with the edge of his razor sharp wing. Parker flipped out of the way. Next comes War Machine, flying in. Spidey thwips a web onto his chest and swings across the wide area.

Waves of red energy flow around Wanda's hands as she gets ready. Beside her floats the Vision who observes the young boy in tights evading everything their teammates throw at him. "Keep him distracted." He then sinks into the floor. Wanda moves in.

Spider-Man uses two lines of webs to drop a tall metallic shelve of heavy supplies onto Rhodey. He then turns his attention to Wilson. "Cool Wings."

He hops on his back and Falcon zigzags around the bright warehouse, trying to shake him off, but the spider sticks on tight. "You know I fought a guy once with metal wings too."

"You don't say."

They soar up over the rafters. Spidey reaches over to one end of Wilson's wingspan. "Yep…"

When they swoop down low enough, Peter hugs onto the long wing and twists his body, slamming the Falcon down to the hard floor.

"He was a lot tougher to take down though."

His spider-sense tingles. He leaps out of the way but something has him; something lifts him into the air, but he sees nothing. "What sorcery is this?"

Wanda steps up with her hand extended.

"Oh right, the Scarlet Witch, duhh."

The enhanced flings him off to the side. Spidey quickly recovers, sticking onto a wall. Large shipping containers, shrouded in misty red energy, hover behind Wanda.

"So not fair."

She launches them all at him. Thanks to his reflexes, he dodges them and runs along the side of the last one propelled at him. He swings all around her as she keeps trying to shoot him out of the air.

"Nice try! Whoop! Almost had it there! A for effort! Maybe try a little more focus?"

"You should be the one focusing. Enjoying the view from up there?"

"What makes ya ask that?"

"You've been starring down my chest!"

"How could you tell behind my mask!?" He takes cover behind a wall.

"I don't have to see you to read you."

The wall starts to tremble. "Whatever that means crazy hot lady."

He swings off the wall and senses another danger coming his way. He quickly spins another web to evade a flying attack from the grey armored Avenger. "War Machine. Cool name, but the grey's a little bland."

Rhodes tries to ignore his excessive yapping as they fight in the air while the Scarlet Witch concentrates on lifting her heavy object.

"Here's a lil' fanboy confession, the star spangled man way over there was a huge influence on my color scheme. Red and blue is the way to go, bro."

"Tried it for a while, didn't suit me."

"Oh yeah, the Iron Patriot. God, first you copied Iron Man, then Captain America. What's next? The Iron Spider?"

Spidey swings circles around War Machine. Rhodes cannot land a hit to save his life. "How do you keep doing that!?"

"Doing what? Being awesome? Like this." He backflips over him and drop kicks the Avenger down.

Rhodey doesn't hit the ground. He swoops back up in front of the giant wall that Wanda has manipulated into the air, ready to launch at a clear shot. Spidey sticks two strings of web onto the floating wall and slingshots himself right into War Machine, tackling him through it.

Wanda screams as large chunks of debris fall all around her.

Falcon dives in.

"Nope." Spidey responded by swinging down a large wooden container box that crashes Wilson back to the floor. "Why are you even part of this squad? You got a pass just because you're the boss's bestie?"

Then the remaining boards his web held onto he swings into Wanda, knocking her back.

He claps the dust off his hands as if finished. "That wasn't so bad. Good hustle team."

Suddenly his spider-sense goes ballistic. The Vision slowly rises up out of the floor behind the confused Spider-Man. But the young hero spins around and throws his strongest punch. "Hah! Can't sneak up on me!"

His fist goes right through the android's stomach as if he were a ghost. "Say whaaaa…?"

The Vision changes his density. Peter cannot pull out his fist no matter how hard he tries. Spidey-sense has not stopped. "Oh boy,"

One good punch to the jaw sends Peter way across the warehouse.

His face slides against the floor. "Um…OW!"

He shakes it off and gets back up. "Note to self: don't get too close to the robo-ghost."

Vision flies over him, picking up on his abilities. "Incredible endurance, super powered strength, and breathtaking agility."

Parker keeps to his word. He makes sure not to get too close. "You sweet talker you."

This strange Avenger phases through the walls and anything Peter swings at him. He has to find a new angle.

Wanda used a stream of her energy to fly her up to a stable pile of shipments.

"Can't stay away?" Peter dished out conceitedly.

"Can't keep quiet?" She hissed back.

"My silly remarks are part of my charm."

He dodges the combined efforts of Wanda and the Vision with remarkable grace.

"So you think." She tried to pluck him out of the air.

Parker suddenly senses something else from across the warehouse. A repulsor blast fires in. At the last possible second, Peter twirled out of the way. It was so last second that he couldn't do anything to keep it from hitting Wanda. It went passed him, through Vision, and shot Scarlet Witch off her high ground. She fell into a smaller pile with a sharp cry.

"Wanda!" The Vision leaves Parker alone to hurry to make sure she's alright.

"Hmm…" Spidey observed from the ceiling.

Rhodey lands on a catwalk beside him. "Hey, bootleg Iron Man! You know anything about those two?"

After an aggravated grunt, Rhodes rockets in with a strong punch that dents the steel ceiling where Spidey used to be. He leaps around him, and evades further repulsor rays. "Sloppy. You seem to hit everything but me, and I'm like the brightest target, ever."

"Do you ever shut up?"

"Do you ever not suck?"

War Machine breaks through a sturdy catwalk. Peter simply lands on another one with a chuckle. He mocks his opponent. "Ooh, look at me, I'm just like Iron Man except not as cool, not a genius, and oh yeah I have a big gun."

He lifts his hand up to his mouth and says in a high-pitch voice. "Overcompensating much,"

Rhodes falls in and steps up throwing a series of punches. Spidey effortlessly dodges them all as he steps back with his hands folded behind his back.

"Shut up."

"Make me."

"Shut up!"

"Make me."

"Shut UP!"

"Make mmeeee,"

Rhodes yells out as he slams his fist down, collapsing the entire catwalk they were fighting on. Spidey glues Rhodey's fist to the surface with a ball of webbing as they fall.

Peter sings the line. "And we all fall down!"

Before Rhodey can fly up, Parker covered his rocket boots in thick balls of webbing too. In free fall, War Machine tries to shoot Spidey with his free hand. It gets covered up as well. Spider-Man then begins to crawl all over him, plastering the Avenger to the long piece of the broken catwalk with and endless amount of webbing.

Peter lands on his feet, and watches his handy work come crashing down. A fat cocoon of web splats onto the floor with a loud mechanical thud! War Machine is taken care for the time being.

His spider-sense directs him toward the witch and the android.

Wanda saw what happened in his brain and warns out. "He can sense us coming! That's why we can't pin him down. He has a…a spider-sense."

He sticks onto the side of a large container as the two Avengers approach him. "Hey! How'd you know that!? Read my mind or something?"

"Yes." She said bluntly.

It takes him a moment to process. He crawls up to the top of the large, steel container. "Ooooh…so telekinesis, telepath type of girl. In that case…"

Wanda reads his mind again, and her face cringes in disgust. "Ew!"

She presses her hands up against her head, not believing what she just saw. Peter quickly somersaults over her, webbing her hands together.

"Can you blame me? You're just so gosh darn beautiful, and my raging hormones are all over the place. For god's sake, I'm just a teenager!"

He turns to see the Vision flying towards him.

"You wouldn't hit a minor would you?" He dodges a right hook. "Yes you would."

Not being able to land one hit, the Vision phases right through the boy's body.

Peter shivered at the chills sent throughout his everything. "O-fff-ff-ffff-ff…please don't ever do that again."

A laser beam shoots out of the yellow gem on the android's forehead. Spidey takes a huge leap back and thwaps a web over that firing gem. When Vision tears it off, Peter is already beside him. Not to fight this time though.

He whispers into his ear. "Hey Jet Jaguar, Did you know Scarlet over there has a total crush on you."

She heard him through his mind and yells at him while trying to break free of the webbing restraining her from unleashing her telekinetic power. "Shut up!"

Vision looks over at her, unable to tell whether she's turning red from rage or embarrassment.

Peter nudges him with an elbow. "See. Don't need telepathy to read the tone of that."

"Wanda?" Vision asks innocently.

She tries to warn him of what Spider-Man is about to do next. "Look!"

Peter zipped up to the ceiling. When Vision darted up at him, he shot a line of webbing at Wanda's confined hands. The android looked back at her in worry as Parker yanked her high into the air. The yellow-caped Avenger dashes up to catch her.

Peter holds onto the line as he leaps through a steel beam within the rafters. He brings his weight down as he falls, bringing Wanda and Vision up. He then spins the line around them, pressing the two Avengers together face-to-face. Parker hangs on the line above their heads and layers an extra wrap of webbing around their torsos, sandwiching them together tight. "Now I know you can phase through this but something tells me neither of you love birds want to."

He knocks on Vision's chrome head in a friendly manner. "You're welcome buddy."

Spider-Man swings away.

Wanda tries to wriggle free. "Ah that annoying little-"

"You are in distress." He stated but it come out sounding like a question.

"Of course I am, I…" She feels his confused thoughts. "Vision?"

He detects a few things as well. "You are nervous. Your heart rate has increased. Your skin temperature is burning. Are you feeling…?"

"Perhaps you should focus on getting us out of here."

His eyes shift, averting hers. "Yes…that is indeed what I should do next. But…the arachnid was right."

"What?"

He looks into her big, beautiful eyes. "I rather enjoy being this close to you…"

A warmth spreads across her face.


Spider-Man lands by the windowed wall. "Your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, making OTPs come true."

He scans the area. "And here I thought I was joining the Avengers, not the B-team."

"It ain't over till it's over!" He didn't even need his senses to hear Sam Wilson coming in hot. He turns to face the winged Avenger.

"Tweety bird again?" He crosses his hands and shoots out two lines of web that pin both the wings. Peter than turns and with his strength swings Falcon back-first into the window, shattering through it.

The realistic hologram fractures because Wilson slammed into the actual surface of the training room wall with a loud grunt.

Spider-Man thwaps his wings to the visible metallic wall. Then both his extended arms, and both his feet apart, leaving him webbed up in a jumping jack position. Peter tops it off by softballing a firm web ball to his exposed groin. A painful groan escapes his mouth.

Peter winced behind his mask. "Oooo, no baby chicks for you."

Up on the balcony, Rogers looks over at Romanoff. "This young man's confidence is getting ridiculous."

"I'll teach the kid a lesson." She leaps off the second floor balcony, executing a flawless acrobatic move.

"Hiyah!" Parker wasted no time and jump in with a flying karate kick. Natasha leaned out of the way and stomped her heel down on his back. Peter bounces off the floor. "Whoa okay,"

"You think this is a joke?"

"I pretend everything's a joke. Makes life easier."

"Well this won't be." She pulled out her electrified batons.

"Cool, lightsabers!"

The Black Widow attacks with a flurry of precision, but nothing hits the boy with spider-sense and spider-like reflexes. He starts mouthing the Star Wars 'Dueling of the Fates' theme. "Awww Haw Hawww!"

Natasha did not realize how quickly this kid would get on her nerves. Spidey lets the fight continue until he finishes the exciting part of the theme.

To end it, he takes a flip back and…

"BAM!" He shot out an explosive loud of web from both wrists that blasted Natasha onto the wall. All that can be seen of her is her face. The rest of her body is splattered in thick, sticky white webbing.

Spidey jumps on the wall beside her and utters apologetically. "Sorry I finished so quickly, I swear this has never happened to me before."

She rolled her eyes in disgust. "Ugh,"

Spider-Man pounces off and starts dancing and boasting in the middle of the cargo area. "Yeah, I'm good! I'm good, I'm good, I'm good! Living life just like I should!"

His tingling senses put a stop his singing. He ducks as Cap's shield jams into the floor. The simulated environment fades back to the original training room. Peter is star struck by the historical weapon. Not sensing any other danger, he walks up to it.

"Whoever wields this mighty shield, if he be patriotic…shall possess the righteousness of…" He yanks out the shield and wears it, punching his fist up into the air in a heroic pose. "America!"

Captain Rogers marches up to him, pulling his shield back with his magnetic gauntlet. Spidey turns to his hero, the living legend himself.

"Training exercise over!"

Vision, Scarlet, and Rhodes walk in to Cap and Spidey at the center of the atrium. War Machine and Wanda yank off remains of webbing off themselves in defeated frustration. Falcon and Widow are still pasted to the wall. They are not going anywhere soon.

Peter awaits his praise. "Sooo?"

Cap turns his attention to his team. "Do you know what the problem here was?"

"Yeah, he's annoying as all hell." Rhodey blurted out.

"Exactly,"

Steve lays a hand on Peter's shoulder. "Spider-Man knew the odds were stacked against him so he talked, and kept talking. He pushed every single one of your buttons. Even yours…" He looked to Wanda.

She shuts her eyes and rubs her forehead at recalling the thought Spidey put in her head. "What I've seen cannot be unseen."

Spidey cocks a wink through his mask. "Call me,"

"You did good recruit. I always knew you had it. We need heroes like you."

"Do we? Do we really?" Rhodes sighed.

"Yes, we do. This is the New Avengers and Spider-Man here qualified for the previous roster. And he's just proven himself more than qualified to join this one. He's quick on his feet and quick with his wit. He's-"

"Spectacular?" Peter couldn't help himself.

"I was going to say different, which is just what we are. We're different from S.h.i.e.l.d, different from the original Avengers. A few improvements still need to be made…" He scans his defeated team, "Clearly. But…"

He extends his hand to shake Spider-Man's. It's a dream come true for Peter.

Captain America says with a smile. "Welcome to the team."

Spidey shakes his hero's hand, acting as cool as possible. Its official, Spider-Man is officially an Avenger!

Rhodey interrupts the moment. "We don't even know his name."

Wanda steps in. "I can find out."

Parker jumps back. "Hoe, don't do it!"

Steve raises his hand to stop her. "No! This has to be built on trust, and if Spider-Man isn't ready to reveal his secret identity then we must respect that."

She hesitates and then pouts away, respecting his privacy. "Very well."

"Now…" Rogers looks around the room. The place is a wrecked mess with webs dangling everywhere. "Time for the cleanup."

"Oooo, yeah, about that…" Peter swings across the wide training room towards the exit. "I just remembered it's a school night and I have this big science project to turn in tomorrow."

Wanda checked his mind. "No you don't."

"Okay fine! I'm behind on 'Community' alright, sue me!"

The doors slide open.

"Later, loves." Spider-Man hurriedly exited the room, leaving the Avengers with his mess to clean up.

Steve chuckles a bit. He grins. "A teenager just came in here and mopped the floor with all of you. This team's in worse shape than I thought."

He looks over to Natasha and Wilson. He says, exiting the scene. "Help them out, then meet down at the barracks for your morning drills."

Everyone hunches over in a loud groan.

~End~
