Avengers Tower June 2nd 5:00 AM

Reed Richards was currently standing next to his son Franklin who was in front of Peter in a large empty medical room with only Natasha, Jessica and Helen for company while everyone else observed the scene from behind an observation window. Helen was monitoring Peter's vitals while Natasha and Jessica were there with some blankets and to… rein Peter in if he gets difficult. Jessica was silently hoping to every god that she's met and is on good terms with that it won't come to that.

Franklin gulped nervously as he slowly raised his arms but tried to remain calm so as to not make his friend nervous. The young mutant took a deep breath as he began to channel some of the energy and have it slowly wrap around the large spider hybrid. Wisps of white and black cosmic energy began to appear around the large fur covered hybrid as Franklin began the process of slowly changing his friend back to normal or least make him human again.

When the large mutated assassin let out a grunt Franklin paused but keeping the energy he's built up around Peter so he won't have to start over. Franklin noticed how tense and uneasy Peter looked as he shifted in his crouched form while eyeing the white and black energy stirring around him. The young boy couldn't blame the large being as Franklin was just as nervous if not more so as his new friend.

While Franklin has been training on how to control his powers for over a year and has achieved many things since then there were still a few things he has trouble with. First and foremost is the changing of an object's molecular structure. Second is allowing the change to remain permeant and not suffer an atomic break down. But Franklin knows he has to try if he wants his friend to have any shot of being normal looking again.

"Take your time son" Reed said has he placed a comforting hand on his shaking and nervous son.

Franklin looked to his father a little scared "But what if what happened last time happens again?"

Reed couldn't help but frown at what his son was referring to. A month ago Reed and a few scientist from Horizon labs were testing to see if Franklin could help turn solid gold into drinkable water and glass into wood. Suffice to say it failed miserably, the gold ended up exploding into a bunch of fire ants as in literal ants made of fire and the glass turned to ash. Franklin was less than saddened by the results but Reed assured his son that while he didn't accomplish what he set out to do didn't mean he necessarily fail.

Upside was that Franklin had created a new pyro based life form that was capable of reproduction and sustaining themselves via consumption or absorption of heat energy. Hank Pym has been studying the new species of Ant with glee has he's often told Richards of the numerous things he can accomplish with literal 'fire ants' as both a hero and for the world.

"Don't worry Franklin, I know you won't let it happen again" the leader of the Fantastic Four said to his first born.

"How can you be so sure?" Franklin said as he turned his attention back to Peter who has stilled and allowed the reality altering mutant to continue his work.

"…Because I have faith in you son…"

Franklin thought over his father's words as he continued trying to help his friend who has now shrunken down to from what he assumes was his natural height and the fur and armored skin was beginning to recede. After looking into the now brown, green tinted eyes of Peter and seeing what looked like trust in his eyes Franklin narrowed his own eyes in determination and began to double his efforts to help his friend.

Meanwhile in the observation room…

Tony, Pym, McCoy, Brashear, and Banner were watching, recording and monitoring the scene before them while Steve, Laura, Kitty, and Valeria watched on in worry and hope that Franklin can help Peter a small distance away.

"Where did you guys find him anyway?" Kitty asked as she turned to address the group of geniuses.

"He was held in a HYDRA facility and raised to be their own personal 'Grim Reaper'" Pym said as he monitored some odd energy readings in Peter's body as he was slowly being regressed back to a more human appearance.

Laura frowned at the similar the back story of Peter's was to her own. Raised to be a living weapon but then saved by a band of mentally questionable people with good intentions… most of the time.

"HYDRA won't let him go without a fight…" Laura said in a worried tone

This time it was Steve that spoke up "And neither will we."

The group of children turned their attention to the First Avenger as he gave them all a reassuring smile before JARVIS spoke up

"Sir, Mrs. Richards, Mr. Storm, and Mr. Grimm have arrived"

Valeria looked a little nervous that her mother was here and likely very angry at the actions she and her brother have under taken this evening. And considering she likely hasn't had any coffee yet she'll be in an even fouler mood.

Steve seemed oblivious to the nightmare he was about to meet "I'll escort them here myself Jarvis, thank you"

"Your welcome sir"

Steve made his way out of the room to help the final three members of the Fantastic Four find their way here.

After the patriotic Avenger left it was a smirking Brashear who said "You think we should have warned him about Sue not having coffee yet?"

Stark stifled a laugh "Hmm, we should but I think he'll agree that we should be more focused on this instead of warning him about the literal storm he's about to walk into."

McCoy chuckled "You're horrible!"

Pym turned towards Banner "Got any anger management tips for her?"

Bruce merely snorted "I don't think she'll like the ones I have"

Pym looked at the man in confusion "Why is that?"

Bruce couldn't help the small smirk forming "I don't think Sue and to some extent Reed are as… adventurous as me and Cho are"

Tony, Adam, and both Hanks' looked at Bruce in shock before looking out towards Helen and then back to the pat time Avenger.

"You and her? Damn… always the quite ones" Tony said as he shook his head while Adam and McCoy chuckled in disbelief that the two world renowned scientist and doctors were apparent freaks in the bedroom. Learn something new every day.

Pym spoke up and ended the fairly odd conversation that these super geniuses were quietly discussing "Looks like Franklin was able to help Peter regress back to his human form"

The other men wandered over to the window and looked into the room to see Jessica wrap a blanket around the pale shivering form of Peter while Natasha helped Reed with his son who looked a little dizzy from the energy and effort he put into helping Peter.

"JARVIS make sure to save the recordings and make copies of our readings so we can review them later. I doubt this will be the last time Peter will turn into the spider version of the Hulk and we can't always rely on Franklin here to turn him back." Tony said

"I did pick up some odd unknown energy readings from Peter. Maybe that will hold some kind of clue since it seems to be working in tandem with the radiation we've picked up" Pym said as he showed the other men his recordings on a tablet

While the group of powerful and intelligent heroes looked over the readings of Peter's transformation Kitty, Laura, and Valeria made their way into the medical room.

Their arrival caught the other occupants of the room's attention.

"So how is he?" Kitty said as she looked towards the hunched form of Peter who was still shaking slightly with Jessica gently rubbing his back.

"He seems to have been able to regress to his human form with no drastic side effects" Reed said has he helped his son stand

"We will have to monitor him for the next few days to ensure there was no lasting damage." Natasha remarked as she went over to better examine Peter who has stopped shivering violently

"Don't you have any information from HYDRA on Peter's transformations?" Valeria asked as she observed the now human Peter slowly try to stand up with the aid of Jessica and Natasha each supporting an arm

"Not much I'm afraid" Jessica said as she help adjust the blanket around Peter's waist when it began to fall "HYDRA destroyed most of the information and what we do have isn't much to begin with."

Laura who was standing next to Kitty was able to hear her friend's breath hitch ever so slightly and when she turned to her she saw a faint blush on the young mutant's face. The feral frowned in confusion of what could get a reaction like that out of her and followed her gaze to Peter.

Now that Peter was no longer covered in armored plates and fur she saw that he seemed visually appealing and saw that while his body frame wasn't built like Thor, Piotr, or Steve Rogers it was still solid, she could even make out an eight pack.

It took a moment to realize that she may have been staring a tad bit too long as she felt someone nudge her which caused her to jump slightly. The action caused her to bump into Kitty who was also startled out of… observation.

The two mutant teenage girls looked to see that it was Reed who got her attention. They both also noticed the amused look in his eyes as he nodded towards the door.

"Hank is about to leave" the leader of the Fantastic four said

Kitty and Laura both spared Peter another glance before they both reluctantly made their way to McCoy… and their punishment for sneaking out of the school on a school night.

Franklin and his sister watched the two go before the eldest of the two looked to his father "They won't be in too much trouble will they?"

Reed chuckled slightly "Don't worry son… I doubt their punishments will be even close to what your mother has in store for both of you"

Before either child could say anything a loud voice that caused both children to pale and Peter to wince slightly pierced the calm somewhat quite room

"FRANKLIN AND VALERIA RICHARD!"

Both children, Reed and three spider themed individuals looked towards the door that led out of the room to be greeted to the sight of one very, very, very angry Sue Storm-Richards.

Her hair was a bit tattered since she woke up not even an hour ago, has yet to shower or have her morning coffee and is still dressed in a rather conservative night gown. Behind the blonde and to her left was her brother Johnny Storm aka the Human Torch who looked like he was struggling to stay awake despite his sister's loud voice dressed only in a pair of red sweat pants, blue converses, and a white shirt with a few faded oil stains on it. Next to him was the large orange rock figure known as Ben Grimm but to the world at large 'The Thing' who was the team's resident strong man. He had a pair of large blue pants on with what looked like a green sleeping cap still on his head. The orange man seemed more awake then his younger teammate but his eyes were still a little red.

And behind all of them was Steve Rogers who looked like a kicked puppy and winced slightly at Sue's raised voice.

Reed felt sympathy for the man as he too has been on the receiving end of his wife's early morning rage.

The only female member of the team marched to her to children with a face of fury only a mother could achieve as she stared down her two children who both couldn't find the will power to stare their mother in the eye, let alone look at her.

The blonde mother place her hands on her hips as she stared down Franklin and Valeria with a glare.

Reed took a deep breath as he prepared for his wife's unforgiven onslaught because he knows that she'll somehow make this partially his fault and she would be right to some extent… doesn't mean he's going to like it…


And done.
