Chapter 4:

When Peter got back from Venice all he wanted was to flop into bed. He didn't expect there to be anyone else in his house except May, who was happy to let him have some down time these days. However when he got to his apartment his spidey senses perked up and he could hear multiple voices inside. Automatically he pushed into the door, ready to save his aunt, but he pulled the webs coming out of his hands back in when he realised who was sat on the sofa. Morgan was grinning up at him, rushing over to him with the chocolate milk his aunt kept in the fridge for him still around her mouth like a thick beard! "How do you do that?" She asked curiously, throwing her hands forward with her eyes narrowed, trying to make some shoot out of her own hands. May and Pepper turned their heads to look at him.

"Welcome home kiddo," May said, taking his suitcase for him, even though he was the one with super strength.

"Hi Peter," Pepper gave him a little wave. "Happy tells me you got the message." And a wink.

"Sure did," he confirmed, trying to keep a smile on his face. It seemed Pepper didn't know he'd lost the suit so quickly and he didn't want her finding out how useless he'd been at protecting his property.

Morgan threw her head back to study him. "What message?"

"From y-Dad," He corrected himself, and May smiled approvingly. He bent down to her level. "It was a message for me but he loves you so much he had to mention you in it too. Told me to keep an eye on you," He bopped her in the spot between her eyes, which made her blink and giggle.

"You know a way you could do that, if you're up for it, is babysitting tonight?" Suggested Pepper. He glanced over at her in surprise. He hadn't even known they were coming, but that made it seem they were staying for a while. At least overnight. She sounded a little reluctant though, as if unsure.

"I'm taking Pepper on a girls night out in the Big Apple. She hasn't had one since this one was born," May ruffled Morgan's hair. "Your uh, co-worker..." she shrugged. "Wanda agreed to come too!"

"Scarlet Witch?" He raised an eyebrow. Apparently she was free now, or she'd been hiding from Fury too so he'd come to Peter for help.

"There's no Big Bad anymore kiddo," his aunt said, though Peter wasn't sure that was quite right. "You guys can take a night off every now and then."

With a tug on his jacket sleeve, Morgan recaptured his attention. "Please Peter! I've really missed you!"

He smiled at her. "Of course!" Though his suspicions weren't any lessened.

After their guardians left for the 'girls night', Morgan immediately asked for cheeseburgers for dinner, giving Peter de ja vu to his ride with Happy. He was going to let her anyway, but she didn't know that and gave a three pronged argument as to why she should be allowed it: they didn't have any fast food in the countryside; they could order without him having to leave the house and possibly lose her in the city so get in trouble with her mom; Happy told her cheeseburgers were her dad's favourite food. Ahh... that was why both she and Tony's old bodyguard were obsessed with them. In honour of Tony, Peter agreed and soon the two of them were sprawled on the sofa amongst more food than he'd been planning to order, but they were both still growing right? Personally, he needed to energise for whenever Fury called him with news on his new nemesis and called him out for an immediate fight.

Peter was feeling pretty bloated on fries and wings and burger and shakes when there was a knock on the door. It was early for them to be back already, how wrong could their girls night have gone? He told Morgan to set up the monopoly board whilst he went to the door. His hands was resting on the knob ready to open it when the hairs on Peter's skin flew upwards and he paused, looking through the peephole instead. To his horror, staring back through it were the eyes of Mysterio, close up as though he'd known Peter would do that. He glanced back to his room where his suitcase lay, but of course there was no suit inside today. The door began to be knocked on and he raced over to Morgan, telling her to go into his room. She started to argue but then the sound intensified so she ran in, sending him a fearful backwards glance. Mysterio didn't take long to crash through the door and Peter was ready to throw a web at him but as he did a larger one flew at Peter himself, pinning him to the wall whilst the one directed at Mysterio only succeeded in wrapping his hand, since there was nothing behind him. As the super-villain tried to pick the web off of his hand like some minor inconvenience, Peter used his super agility to slip out of the trap. He was nearly there when Mysterio shot another one at him- this time his head. Peter gasped for breath, as Mysterio began to monologue about how the superhero had ruined everything he had, which made no sense, since they'd never met before Venice! Then he clutched at his head, screaming; it seemed he truly was insane. Mysterio reached for the hard-drive, apparently not insane, just being assaulted by Tony Stark's loud mouthed brand of retribution! Even without him having the suit, his mentor was still helping him. He needed to use that opportunity.

Slipping out of the trap, he grabbed Mysterio by the head, ready to wrap him in his own biological web, but despite the presumably technical and loud-mouthed sensory distractions, Mysterio pushed through and assaulted Peter with his own manufactured super-strength, shoving him back into the wall and wrestling him to the floor. Peter struggled back though and the two of them fought on the floor almost as if they were in a ring, except there was no-one to call foul so when eight human looking arms snapped out through the suit, no-one stopped Mysterio. Instead he wrapped Peter in his grip, wrapping him so tight his vision started to glaze over. If he'd been able to quip like Tony could do even in the worst of situations, he would have questioned what Mysterio was doing to his gorgeous suit. Instead he just felt despair as he saw the arms rip holes through the fabric whilst he tried to breathe through the pain and think of something to do- but all he could think was one word that wasn't appropriate with Morgan in the next room.

"Leave my brother alone!"

Or maybe she was in the same room. Using all the fullness of her 3 and a half feet, Tony's daughter had on his iron glove and had shot it at the villain with perfect aim, knocking him back. Acting quickly, Peter wrapped Mysterio's wrists in webs like handcuffs. "Who's this?" He spat out in disgust. "The leader of your fan club?" Peter shot another one at his mouth like a gag. Frowning, he inspected the suit; it didn't look too good. But then Morgan ran over and he hugged her to his side. If Tony's drive was lost it would be okay; his legacy was still safe. And maybe Peter had been too attached to it anyway. If the hard-drive was okay he needed to remember it wasn't Tony's soul. It was only an AI. It was great, but so were the photos; the memories; Morgan.

The door opened again and both of them immediately held up their hands: him to shoot a web; her to use the Iron glove. "Woah woah woah woah woah!" May cried out, falling against the doorframe. Wanda helped her up with a very atypically unchill giggle.

"Mworgen Stark gimme that ri'now!" Pepper shouted, wobbling over to snatch it.

Upon hearing that name, Mysterio's eyes lit up in horror, but Peter ignored him, frowning. "You really went on a girls night?"

"Yeah," May raised her eyebrows. "Whaddya think we were doing?"

Something to do with taking down supervillains like him? He glanced at Mysterio, who was still looking between Pepper and Morgan, his eyes filling with tears. "Do have a secret though," Pepper admitted, putting a finger to her lips. Having thrown the Iron glove down she lifted up Morgan. "We're staying in New York!"

Morgan's face, which had been pretty devastated as she seemed sure she was in trouble and maybe not even allowed back, broke into a grin and she wrapped her arms around her mother.

"You shouldn't be alone," Wanda drawled in what seemed to be an even thicker accent than usual. "You need to be surrounded by everyone who loves you!" She joined the hug, but Peter held up a hand, trying to remind her of her powers.

"Uh... Scarlet Witch, could you help me with this?" Luckily her magic still worked even smashed and she secured Mysterio. The villain's eyes were red with sadness but Peter refused to take off the gag, even if he wanted to know what was wrong with him. The truth was, probably something biological. There was no saving some people.

AN: Next chapter's the last one and it's from Morgan's POV. Lemme know what you think's gonna happen!
