Yes! Ha ha, 23 reviews! Muah ha ha ha ha! So happy, happy happy! Thank you so much everyone, and I hope this chapter solves the 'wait, Peter is stronger than Captain America' problem people have been commenting on.

I know, I know he is stronger. Thank you for reviewing your opinions about it, I treasure every second of comment reading!


S.H.I.E.L.D, Peter thought. What in heck is S.H.I.E.L.D?

His hands flew along the keyboard of his, uh, used computer.

S.H.I.E.L.D, Captain America, Tony Stark, Natasha Romanoff, Hawkeye, Steve Rogers, Iron Man, Black Widow, Clint Barton, Hulk, Bruce Banner, Thor, Peter pulled up web pages and browsers of every Avenger and who they were when not in costume.

But, no matter where he looked, he didn't get anything on S.H.I.E.L.D.. They appeared to be some super secret spy agency, and the closest he got was Wikipedia telling him Black Widow and Hawkeye were S.H.I.E.L.D assassins/spies.

In other words, he didn't find squat. Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division. That's what agent Coulson had said when they met in that vault.

Ugh. Why were people so secretive? Peter grinned, so hypocritical, he thought. He knew why he was secretive. It was to protect the people close to him.

But, he couldn't say the same for S.H.I.E.L.D. As far as Peter knew, they could be planning to nuke the city. *cough* wow *cough*.

S.H.I.E.L.D.: Peter's new research project.


Clint Barton sat on a skyscraper, filling the capsules he had been using nightly.

"Are we gonna go for him tonight, I ask, " He muttered. "Dunno, Clint. Just shoot him up with more sedative, says Tony." He rolled his eyes.

Nightly, Clint had sat here and waited for Spiderman to pass. It was a routine now. He had realised that since Tony and Fury were so obsessed with the vigilante Clint could try to follow him. It might not work well, as Clint couldn't flip through the sky, but he could try.

But no…. He had to wait for Spiderman every night, and hit him with a small strength minimizing capsule. Clint knew it was so Steve and Spiderman would match strength if not give Steve the upper hand, but every night? Sedative was expensive!

They didn't even target him most of the time!nt palmed the capsule as he saw Spiderman swing around the corner. Rolling it over in his hand, he tossed it, clearing the 20 foot gap between them.

The acrobatic vigilante always swung a certain way near this tower, so his back between his shoulder blades was undefended and open. Clint always aimed there.

He didn't have to worry about missing. He never missed.

Three more feet… Spiderman twisted into position and Clint threw the capsule.

Right on target. Would they go for Spiderman tonight? He thought so. Tony had been aching for a sample of blood, no strong sedatives, he had said.

Which, Clint took as, shoot him with mild sedative and have Steve hold him down while you take a blood sample. That will definitely work, right Tony. Yes. Totally.

Tonight. He could get through tonight.

Clint packed up as Spiderman swung into the distance. Does he even know his own strength? He wondered. Does he know that he could overpower Steve if not on sedative?

Maybe, maybe not. But it wasn't Clint's concern. All he did was shoot.

Right? He prided himself on never missing, and it occurred to him once that he may be shooting blindly for orders. Spiderman brought that back up.

But Clint could shoot. That's what he liked.

Spiderman was a target, he was an archer. Blindly shooting or no, this was the right thing to do.


After I wrote this, I realised it sounded as if Clint was doing drugs when I said nightly used capsules. He's not doing drugs.

DON'T DO DRUGS, KIDS, IT'S BAD AND UNHEALTHY. I think that covers legal bases. : )
