Peter attempted to ignore the tingling sensation on the back of his neck.

"I'm just being paranoid, there's nothing wrong," He thought as he tried desperately to convince himself that he was not in danger. Peter had been feeling a little paranoid ever since his encounter with Nick Fury. He constantly felt like he was being watched by someone or something. Consequently, he made it a point to glance over his shoulder as much as possible, as well as check every corner before he rounded them.

It had been two whole days since he had become a fugitive. Peter had skipped out on patrolling those nights due to the fact he was terrified of being captured by Shield, or worse, the Avengers.

Tonight, however, he decided to put on a brave face to continue his crime-fighting. He worked hard to convince himself that everything was going to be okay. Nevertheless, he was still nervous.

It had started as just a faint tingle. At first, Peter had been able to successfully ignore it, but the sensation continued to get stronger. As the night continued, the tingling turned into shivers down his spine that made it feel like his whole body was shaking. He decided to rest on the roof of a nearby building when his senses became overwhelming. Every attempt to calm himself down was failing.

All of a sudden, he felt as if he was being shocked by lightning. He could no longer ignore his senses. Peter knew he was in danger. He shot a web to a nearby building to escape whatever danger he was in. As he was swinging, he heard a loud snap as his string of web was broken. Peter tried to shoot another web to stop himself from falling but was unsuccessful. He slammed into the concrete sidewalk and immediately felt as if all the bones in his body had been broken.

Peter knew he had to escape. He managed to stand, despite the fact that every inch of him was aching. As soon as he stood up he was knocked back to the ground by a blow to the back of his knees. He turned to see what had hit him, and he practically felt his heart stop. Lying on the ground next to him was a shield.

"Shitshitshitshitshit," Peter's thoughts raced through his head. He stood up with the intent to run but was stopped in his tracks by a figure in front of him.

The man was none other than Captain Steve Rogers. At that moment, Peter's slight sense of nervousness became full-blown panic, and he felt as if his heart could stop at any moment.

After a long silence, the man finally spoke.

"I don't want to hurt you," He said. His voice was intimidating and made Peter's heart beat even faster.

"If you didn't want to hurt me then you wouldn't have thrown your shield at me," Peter replied. He was trying desperately to hide his fear.

"I said I don't WANT to hurt you. That doesn't mean that I won't." Steve spoke back at him.

"I am so fucked," Peter thought to himself.

"Why don't you just leave me alone," Peter raised his voice at the man.

"Because you are going against the law," Steve took a few steps closer to Peter.

Peter knew he couldn't stand there and talk any longer. He shot a web at a nearby building. Before he could pull himself into the air, he was hit in the side with so much force that it sent him flying into the wall next to him.

Peter got up quickly and shot a web at Steve, who was now sprinting towards him at full force. He managed to pull the shield from the mand hands but was knocked down when Steve punched him on the side of the face. Peter felt nauseous. His head was spinning, his ear was ringing, and it hurt to breathe.

Peter saw his attacker charge at him again, and this time was able to use whatever strength he had left to kick the man across the alleyway and into a wall on the other side. He used this as an opportunity and was able to shoot a web and swing away while Steve was distracted. Peter didn't stop swinging until he was at least 15 blocks away.

Everything was hurting. Peter knew he had sustained multiple injuries during the fight.

"Peter could tell that he had a black eye, a concussion, and at least one broken rib .

"Great," Peter said to himself. "And on a school night too."

Peter took a long way home (which ended up taking him even longer due to the fact that his injuries caused him to move slower than usual). He barely slept that night, as he couldn't stop thinking about the fact that he had just had a fight with Captain America.

The next day, he told Ned all about his fight. Ned, of course, thought it was the coolest thing ever. Peter, however, felt even more paranoid than he had before. He had managed to fight off Captain America, but that meant the Avengers were out to get him and knew how to get to him.

Peter didn't know what was coming, but he knew it wasn't going to be good.
