Tony walked into Stark Industries as he helped Peter walk and they found everyone in the main living area and they were watching the news. You could see Peter getting his butt kicked but it wasn't good enough quality to recognize his face. MJ saw him and she walked over to him and slapped him in the face.
"I deserved that." Peter sighed.
"What the hell were you thinking?! You were barely conscious in there and you go out to fight a crime lord?!" MJ wanted an explanation and she wanted it quick.
"Look, you don't understand. If I don't take him down first really bad things are going to happen. So I would appreciate it if you would just have my back." Peter replied calmly.
"You know what, I agree with her. You had no business going out there." Quill added.
"I'm not talking to you guys about this." Peter snapped.
"Good, then talk to me." Tony interrupted and Peter looked to him in frustration. "Don't even give me that look! You just went out there and did the exact thing I told you NOT to do!"
"He killed that girl to weaken me, and I don't need you making it worse! He stole a whole bag of…" Peter stopped and realized something. "Wait a minute that bank vault had billions of dollars in it and he only took one bag when he was clearly capable of taking more than that one bag. So why didn't he take more?" Peter pointed out curiously.
"Probably because grabbing more than one would slow him down." Ned replied.
"He flung me like I was as light as a feather. He could have easily handled ten bags and it still wouldn't have slowed him down. No, he WANTED me to come after him. He kept questioning my ability to protect Queens. So clearly he is trying to get to me. But he knew my name. So why didn't he just come after me when I didn't have the suit on? It's like he was asking for me to put my best fight on to see how strong my powers are. He also told me that he was sparing me and the next time I would fight him would be my last fight." Peter explained and Tony looked incredibly worried.
"So he's targeting you now. There was a time when he did the same thing to me. Peter this is bad. If he is looking to weaken you, he WILL find out about Michelle, Ned, and May and he will use them to his advantage and he will hurt them and once your weakened he will kill them anyways. It's what he does best." Tony sighed.
"I can take him, I just need to practice using my infinity stone powers." Peter disagreed. "But right now I need to be seen by doctors." Peter grabbed his chest as he felt a sharp pain and then he walked off to get a doctor to help him out. Tony shook his head as he stood there.
"He's going to get himself killed. I think it's time we call and find out everything we can about what Peter can do now." Tony suggested…
Peter laid in his bed and MJ came in and sat down beside him and she put her hand on Peter's.
"I'm sorry I was so harsh with you earlier. It's just that I haven't had my period since we first had sex, and this pregnancy thing has me terrified." MJ sighed and Peter looked down and then looked back at her.
"Look MJ, I am going to be making several decisions that you guys aren't going to understand but I swear to you that I am just doing what is right. I have seen 400 different futures and only one of them ended in even a little bit of success so you're going to have to trust me. I don't like asking you to go out on a limb like this, but a lot of lives are hanging in the balance with this and if I make one mistake then every single one of those lives will be put to an end. Please just trust me." Peter begged and MJ looked worried but she nodded.
"Just, let me know if you wanna talk about anything Peter." MJ offered her support and Peter gently pulled her over to him she laid against him as he put his arm around her and he kept her close to him.
"Just stay right here with me, and you'll be helping me out a lot." Peter sighed and he kissed MJ's forehead as she laid there beside him. Suddenly Thor walked in.
"Do you ever knock?"Peter asked and Thor shook his head.
"I'm a God, and I can enter whenever I please." Thor replied. "I would appreciate it if I could have a moment to speak to the Spider Child, young lady." Peter looked to MJ and MJ kissed him on the cheek and then started to walk out.
"No, MJ, don't leave me alone with him!" Peter yelled and MJ didn't even stop as she closed the door behind her. Thor then walked over and sat on Peters bed.
"You know Spider Child," Thor started.
"Call me Spider Child one more time, and your gonna have to deal with my Spider Child abilities." Peter snapped.
"Ok Peter, I will call you by your name. You know I knew a Peter at one time, he was an interesting fella. He went around Asgard performing magic tricks and telling jokes for my people. Everyone loved Peter. He died of a flesh eating bacteria, but he was a fun young man while he lasted." Thor tried to relate to Peter.
"Are you really comparing me to a Jester right now?" Peter asked in confusion.
"That's not the point here. You see Bruce says that I need to make a better effort to get to know you, and I think this is the perfect time for it." Thor replied and Peter looked uncomfortable.
"You really don't have to do that Thor. In fact you would make me feel a lot better if you just, you know, didn't do it." Peter sighed as he didn't want to have a conversation with Thor.
"I understand your hesitation Peter, but please understand that I'm here to help and relate to you." Thor explained and then he looked away from Peter and stared at a random spot in the distance. "You see Peter, I too have lost a lot in my life. My mother died a long time ago, and my father died a few years ago because of my brother."
"And that has WHAT to do with my situation?" Peter asked in confusion.
"Well I suppose your right. The situations are completely different. Well I had to kill my brother, but then he came back to life only for me to watch him get killed by Thanos as he was trying to save my life." Thor sighed.
"But you KNEW your brother, and your brother wasn't necessarily the most innocent person." Peter pointed out.
"Well, I suppose so. I also had to kill off my sister and watch Thanos kill off my entire population." Thor explained and Peter shook his head.
"Again, the situations have nothing to do with each other." Peter impatiently stated and Thor looked frustrated and then his face calmed and he looked at Peter sadly.
"I had to worry about the safety of everyone and I failed." Thor said this and Peter looked to him and was going to say something but he couldn't find the ability to talk about the girl who was killed by Kingpin.
"Can we NOT talk about that please?!" Peter snapped and Thor shook his head.
"I'm sorry Peter. You are so young and I'm just trying to help, but it's difficult because you are pushing everyone away from you. Just remember that we are here if you ever want to talk to us." Thor sighed and then he got up and was about to leave when he turned around. "I wasn't mocking you by the way. When you were talking to Bruce, I wasn't mocking you at all." Thor then left the room and MJ came back in and saw that Peter was hurting and she laid down beside him and she put her arm around his waist.
"It's going to be ok Peter." MJ sighed.
"Yeah." Peter lied as he couldn't help but think about what was going to happen. He knew a lot of things but he didn't know how MJ was going to be taken by Kingpin. It terrified him completely and it was something he didn't know how to handle. So he pulled MJ close to him and hugged her as tightly as he could without hurting her.
"You ok?" MJ asked.
"Yeah. I'm fine." Peter lied…
Peter woke up around 4 A.M.. He had been pretty restless that night and it was starting to get to him. Peter went into the living room and looked at his chest which was now completely healed. His spine had healed as well. One thing his body still did, was that it still healed at an incredible speed. As Peter looked at himself in the mirror he thought about MJ getting taken. He thought about Tony getting his leg torn off. He thought about the fact that he couldn't tell anyone the full truth or Tony wouldn't show up and MJ, Peter, and their unborn child would die. Peter then felt the feeling that someone was watching him and he turned to his side and shot a web at whatever was standing there and May jumped out of the way.
"Peter, what the hell?" May sighed and Peter closed his eyes.
"I'm sorry May." Peter apologized and May walked over to him.
"You look like you're ready to go back out there and fight." May evaluated Peter.
"Fisk will die, and I don't care what the Avengers are going to say. He's going to die." Peter replied as he returned to looking at himself in the mirror.
"What are you doing out here? You should be in bed. You need the rest." May pointed out.
"I can't sleep." Peter sighed and then he closed his eyes and opened them and his chest started glowing orange, his hands starting glowing blue and purple, his eyes started glowing red and green, and his forehead started glowing yellow. "What do you see when you look at me May?" Peter asked and May smiled and walked over to the mirror.
"I see a young man who is brave, strong, courageous, selfless, and incredibly loving." May replied as she put her arm around his shoulders.
"You know what I see?" Peter asked and May looked to him.
"What sweetie?" May replied.
"I see some genetically modified freak who doesn't even deserve to be on this earth because he has alien abilities. I also see a failure who gets too attached to people because he never thought for one second that he could be beaten in a fight. He also never thought that he would be the reason that a young girl died while her younger brother and her mother watched helplessly." Peter said this and May realized what Peter meant when he always said that he had more responsibility than most. She also realized that Peter now had a child's death on his shoulders. Suddenly Tony ran into the room and saw Peter wide awake.
"Good, your awake." Tony sighed and he turned the TV on and then he turned the news on, and there was a children's hospital being burnt down. Peter could see Kingpin standing there dragging a child who couldn't have been older than 5 by her hair. Tony looked to Peter and shook his head.
"This will never end! You let Fisk know that you were a difficult fight and so he is going to try and weaken you in every way possible. You aren't leaving Stark Industries. He WILL kill you this time." Tony snapped at Peter and Peter got angry.
"Then why did you show me this?!" Peter snapped.
"Because I am trying to make you realize that every action has a consequence and you did the one thing I told you not to do and this is what happened!" Tony shouted and then Peter opened his eyes and looked over at the clock and saw that it was 3 A.M.. He hadn't woken up at 4 A.M., he had a vision of what was going to happen if he didn't stop it. Peter stood up and quickly grabbed his suit and put it on and then he walked over to the window, opened it, and looked at MJ and felt a tear leak out of his eye.
"I'm sorry if I don't come back." Peter sighed and then he swung out of the window…
Peter saw that the hospital hadn't erupted in flames just yet but he could see that there was a fire in a window though. Peter threw a web at the window and he swung over to it and climbed up the wall and looked in and immediately recognized the person that Kingpin was holding up.
"ALEXA!" Peter cried and he shot a web at the girl and pulled her out of Kingpin's grip because Kingpin wasn't expecting it. Peter pushed Alex aside and Kingpin shook his head.
"Parker, I told you to stay away." Kingpin laughed.
"I'm not standing by while you burn down this hospital!" Peter snapped and Kingpin looked confused.
"How did you know?" Kingpin said as he seemed stunned.
"I know a lot of things." Peter replied and then Kingpin threw down some type of smoke bomb and when the smoke subsided Kingpin was gone. Peter turned to Alexa who was much younger than him. She had a broken arm.
"Stay here. I'll be back." Peter advised Alexa.
"Who are you?" Alexa asked and Peter pulled his mask off and Alexa smiled.
"Petey!" Alexa said excitedly.
"Stay here. Ok?" Peter said and Alexa nodded and then Peter grabbed a fire extinguisher, put the fire out and then went through the entire hospital but Kingpin was nowhere to be found. Peter then looked out a window and saw Kingpin's car driving away in the distance and Peter got so angry that he punched a wall and made a massive hole in it. "YOU COWARD!" Peter cried and then he ran to go get Alexa. He found her in her hospital room and he looked to her. "hey where's your family?"
"They are on vacation in the Caribbean." Alexa replied.
"And your not with them?" Peter asked and Alex shrugged.
"I was injured so I told them that I didn't want to ruin their fun and they took the opportunity and left me here." Alexa said and Peter picked her up. "Where are we going?"
"I'll tell you later. All you need to know now is that it's safe." Peter sighed and then he swung out the window while holding Alexa…..
Peter walked back into Stark Industries and found that everyone was awake.
"Who is this?!" Tony snapped.
"She's my cousin." Peter replied and May walked over to Peter and pulled Alexa into her arms.
"I'll alert her parents." May sighed.
"Oh don't worry about them, they're on vacation." Peter said sarcastically. "She could use some sleep though." Peter sighed and then May nodded.
"Are you ok? You seem upset." May asked.
"I scared him and he threw a smoke bomb down and got away. Alexa was more important than going after him so I brought Alexa back here." Peter explained. "I'm just angry right now." May kissed Peter on the cheek and then left the room with Alexa. Tony walked over to Peter and crossed his arms.
"I warned you." Tony sighed. "Peter you have to realize that," Tony started and Peter interrupted him.
"Every action has a consequence and I did the one thing you told me not to do and this is what happened." Peter replied and Tony looked freaked out.
"I have been practicing that speech since 1 in the morning. How did you know," Tony started and Peter interrupted him.
"I TOLD YOU! I know what I am doing so back the hell off and leave me alone about it, will yah?! You know you think that you have this fatherly relationship with me, but in reality, guess what, you're not my father, and you never will be! I don't technically have to listen to you, you know! I appreciate your concern Tony but I'm not dealing with your overbearing bullshit anymore! All of you guys are always in my face about my fights! You do realize I was doing well in fights long before I became an Avenger, right?!" Peter snapped. "You know I am so sick and tired of trying to be like you Tony! It's too much pressure and to be honest you aren't that great of a hero! Maybe that girls death meant nothing to you, but it made me realize something! You and I were there, and they cheered MY name. New York is home to both of us and yet they cheered for ME! I'm a great hero! I know that now! I understand that! And my Uncle Ben was right, with great power comes great responsibility! When was the last time any of you took responsibility for even one death?!" Peter yelled and Tony noticed that Peter's chest was glowing orange.
"Peter you need to calm down, the soul stone is using you!" Tony yelled.
"NO!" Peter snapped and then MJ went over to him.
"Peter, he's right, you just," MJ started and Peter smacked MJ in the face and the second she fell to the ground and screamed Peter snapped out of it and his chest stopped glowing.
"MJ I'm sorry." Peter cried and MJ looked to him.
"At least it worked." MJ cried and Peter walked over to her and fell to his knees and pulled MJ into his arms.
"You meant it though, didn't you?" Tony asked and Peter looked around.
"I wise man once told me that it's dangerous to hold in your feelings, and I've been holding them in for a while." Peter replied.
"You don't want to be an Avenger anymore, do you?" Steve asked and Peter looked up and shook his head.
"You guys cause more destruction than the villains do, and you never have apologized for it." Peter sighed and then he looked to Tony. "I'm sorry, but I can't keep doing this Tony."
"Peter, you're upset, maybe you should just go get some rest and wait to make your decision." Tony sighed and then Peters forehead started glowing yellow and Peter closed his eyes and then opened them and they were glowing yellow as well. "Peter isn't doing well. He is breaking down. He feels like he doesn't belong in this world anymore because of his new powers. He feels like an alien. " Peter sighed and then his eyes and forehead stopped glowing and it was Peter again.
"Vision what else?!" Tony yelled but nothing happened. The Scarlet Witch was standing as she realized what was happening.
"What just happened? Oh yeah, like I was saying, I um, what WAS I saying?" Peter was confused and then Mantis walked over and put her hand on Peter's forehead.
"He is pushing people away and the infinity stone powers are trying to overpower him because he is weakening." Mantis said and Peter heard this and felt his heart start to beat fast. Just as this happened a portal opened and came through and saw Peter and walked over to him and put his hand on Peters head and closed his eyes.
"Infinity Dominion, Stand down! This is an order! Stand down! This boy is pure! He may have lost his innocence, but he is pure. Leave him be!" yelled and Peter fell backward.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" Peter cried and then he passed out.
"WHAT DID YOU DO!?" Tony yelled in a panic.
"He'll be fine. I just demanded the obedience of the Infinity Dominion." explained.
"Hey Stephen, what's happenin?" Peter said in a tired voice and smiled at him.
"Your powers should be more in control now." sighed and then a yellow mist came out of Peters forehead and then went away. It left Peter still with a glowing forehead that was yellow, but Peter smiled.
"He's gone." Peter sighed and The Scarlet Witch let out several tears.
"How do you feel?" asked and Peter smiled slightly.
"Better, but the last thing I remember is bringing Alexa in here." Peter replied and nodded.
"Well your soul and your mind were being controlled, and they were both in conflict with each other sadly. There shouldn't be a problem anymore. They are officially dominated. Good luck Peter." said and then he walked over to Tony and whispered in his ear as MJ started talking to Peter. "He's a good kid. Don't let him go." walked through a portal and was gone.
"Does anybody want to fill my ass in?" Falcon asked in confusion.
"I can." Clint replied and Falcon and Clint walked away just as May walked back into the room and she found Peter and MJ on the floor. Then MJ and Peter stood up.
"We've got some big news guys." MJ said and everyone looked to her. "We're pregnant." Everyone nodded and smiled…..
