The Amazing Avenger.

Recap: Nick Fury has informed Tony Stark that the Avengers will be getting a new member and Stark is none too happy, and Agent Coulson visits Peter Parker. Now on to Chapter 3.

"Did Tony tell any of you why he called us all here?" Bruce Banner asked as the Avengers (minus Tony) all assembled in the main lounge at the Tower.

Steve Rogers shook his head as did everyone else. "No, he just said we all had to meet and he had some news from Fury, that was about it."

"Bad news?" Clint Barton asked.

Steve shrugged. "I don't know. I hope not."

Natasha Romanov spoke up next. "God, I hope it's not another one of their crap missions."

Clint nodded in agreement. "To tell you the truth, I was hoping to get a break after this last one."

Steve checked his watch. "Ok…it's now 10:13. Where the heck is Stark?" He then let out an aggravated sigh. He hated it when Tony was late to their meetings. But then Steve was always a rather punctual guy, which contrasted a lot with Tony Stark, who would be late to his own funeral.

"Well hell, since he isn't here yet, I think I will go over to the bar and pour myself a drink." Clint said, already heading over to said area. "Anyone else want one?"

"You're seriously gonna drink while you're on duty?" Natasha asked.

Clint was gonna reply when they all heard Tony's voice as he walked into the room.

"Well, I wouldn't necessarily call it 'duty', Miss Romanov, after all, it's just a meeting."

Natasha folded her arms. "Well, of course you would think so, Stark."

Tony made a cross with his fingers as he passed her and walked over to the bar. "Make hers a double, and get me a scotch on ice, will ya?" He tapped the counter twice before turning his attention to the rest of the group.

"Well, my friends, the reason I called this little assembly is to inform all of you that our lovely director Cyclops has just informed me that we will soon be adding a new member to our fun show." He paused to let it sink in with the others, but mostly to retrieve his scotch from Clint. "Thanks buddy."

"No problem." Clint replied as he downed a shot of bourbon.

"What do you mean, new member?" Steve asked.

Tony took another swig and placed it on the counter. "Precisely how I said it, Cap. His name is Peter Parker, or otherwise known as Spiderman."

Natasha perked up. "I have heard his name around. Fought a giant mutated human lizard a couple years ago in an experiment gone wrong."

"The scientist, a rather mad scientist named Dr. Curt Connors had developed this serum using the DNA of lizards and finds that it held the ability to not only regeneration, but mutation as well. Let's just say it made him a tad coo coo and he attempted to infect every person in the city with it." Tony took another swig of his scotch. "Kinda like when Reindeer Games tried to take over the planet, only this guy tried to turn everyone into a lizard."

"And this…spiderman stopped him?" Bruce asked.

"That he did, with the help of the police chief, but he was an unfortunate casualty."

"But why would SHIELD bring him out now?" Steve asked.

Tony emptied his glass before answering. "Ah, glad you asked, Cap. Here's the kicker. This flying arachnid…he's a teenager."

The room suddenly got quiet.

"What?" Bruce asked.

Tony refilled his glass. "Jarvis, please bring up Spiderman's file." The AI immediately obeyed and SHEILD's file had come up in the middle of the room. Bruce walked up to it and tapped on the stats of Peter Parker and his counterpart.

"He's nineteen."

"Seventeen and still in high school when he acquired his abilities." Tony stated.

"That must've been some spider bite." Bruce commented. When Steve looked at him confused, he pointed to the part where it explained how Parker was infected.

"Check out the video file." Tony said as he finished his second glass. Bruce complied and this time they were all huddled around watching, except for Tony.

"Incredible." Steve commented as he watched Spiderman swing from building to building and climb up walls.

"Knew you would approve, Capsicle." Tony said.

Steve just rolled his eyes and ignored Stark. "So when do we meet him?"

Tony just shrugged, working on his third glass. "My guess is they're probably delivering the poor kid his fate as we speak, but who knows?"

Steve nodded. "Well, we'll all welcome him then. I mean, he looks impressive enough."

"Given that he still has the technique down." Stark said. "This kid's been out of commission for the past two years now." he took a swig, "Guess we stole his limelight."

"Or given all the attention, it probably scared him off." Bruce stated, earning him a nod from Steve and Natasha. "I mean, with abilities like this, it's not like you forget them."

"Plus he's still young enough, he'll pick them back up in no time." Clint chimed in.

"I agree." Steve replied.

"Well hell, of course the Captain here agrees. He was frozen for seventy years and he still came outta that quite a winner." Tony said, earning him a glare from Steve and he stifled his chuckles in his drink.

Natasha just rolled her eyes at Tony and looked to each of the others. "Well, I guess we better get to know our new teammate. Let me know when he arrives."

"Will do." Bruce waves at her as Natasha makes her leave with Clint not too far behind.

"Oh what's this? The chick leaves and I lose my best bartender?" Tony whined as Clint shrugged at him and turned to catch up with Natasha.

Tony made a disgusted face and looked at Bruce and Steve, pointing. "That guy is seriously whipped."

Bruce chuckled and Steve scoffed at him. "Have another drink, Stark." They then made their exit.

"Oh, don't mind if I do, oh Captain, my Captain." Tony slurred as he made his way around the bar and poured his fourth glass.

After all, he did have a lot of thinking to do.

Peter sat on the porch for what was now three hours straight. It had begun to rain and he leaned his head back against the wood. "Join the Avengers."

Peter couldn't get Coulson's words out of his head. Spiderman…with the Avengers. The thought itself was almost unreal.

Sighing, he hangs his head low. He was at a crossroads. One one end, this was his big chance to bring back Spiderman. No matter how hard the battle was to stop Dr. Connors and his lizard alter ego and being hunted down by five hundred police officers, his ride as his web spewing counterpart was a ride worth riding. Yes, he had lost his uncle and Gwen's dad along the way, but ever since he had hung his suit up, he could always feel a big part of himself missing. He owed a lot to Spiderman. Not only did he fight crime and save the city from Connors' plan, but he also saved Peter himself. All his life Peter never felt he belonged with normal people. He had felt out of place for as long as he could remember. Spiderman had shown him to be a new man in a lot of ways. Now he would get to join a whole group of alter egos and people just like him.

But on the other end, was he willing to make Spiderman his whole life? What about his Aunt May? She had lost enough already. Could he leave her? Peter couldn't see himself doing that.

It was then that May had decided to come outside and join her nephew. She wrapped her sweater around her small form and went to stand next to Peter.

"So I guess you've made up your mind?" she asked, her gaze fixed on the rain.

Peter looked at her confused. "What do you mean?"

Aunt May just chuckled. "You can't honestly tell me that you are considering turning down their offer because of me, are you?"

Peter was silent then. He was always amazed by his aunt and her uncanny ability to always know what he was thinking.

"You know what I think?" she then asked.

"No, but I know you'll tell me anyway." Peter replied with a smile, earning himself a nudge in the ribs from May.

"I think you should get your butt back in that house and call that agent what's his name and tell him you will join that team." Her voice was solid, which always meant she was dead serious.

Peter shook his head. "Aunt May, you know I can't leave you-"

"I don't need you to worry about me, Peter Parker. You are just like your uncle was, always thinking I can't take care of myself." She then walked away from him. "But I'll have you know, I may be old, but I have a lot of fight still left in me."

"I know Aunt May, but-"

"Just like there is still a lot of fight still left in you." she pointed out to him and he had no choice but to stay silent.

"Peter, you know you want this. I know you're worried about me, but please don't be. Spiderman is needed now, so that means you are needed now. There is so much help needed out there and you cannot spend your life here thinking about me."

Peter just stared at her. He knew she was right. Aunt May smiled.

"So that does it. You go and make that phone call." she said, looking him right in the eye.

"You're amazing, Aunt May." Peter smiled genuinely at her and pulled her into a tight embrace.

"It's you who's amazing sweetheart." May whispered.

Ten minutes later, Peter stood against the wall with his phone in one hand, and Agent Coulson's card in the other. Before he dialed the number, he let out a few deep breaths. Then he dialed.

"Coulson." came the reply after only one ring.

"I'm in."

A/N-Wow…three chapters in less than 24 hours. :D That's awesome. Thank you all again from the bottom of my heart who reviewed and alerted my story. You all helped with these first three chapters and I look forward to belting out some more. Sad to say I must get back into my work week, but hopefully, I can find some time to get Ch. 4 out ASAP.

So when we get back, Peter will meet his new teammates and we'll see how Stark fares with him. Also, how will the team react when they find Agent Coulson alive? Not to mention a certain God of Mischief is released from his prison sentence and plans to spend some time on Earth, much to his brother's chagrin. Stay tuned. ;) I love you guys!
