Earlier in the morning, in Matt's office

Foggy lets out a huge yawn as we walk into our office. "I researched your boy last night. Did you maybe already change your mind about telling me why? Please, don't tell me you're planning to adopt him... Are you?"

"Adopt him? I doubt his parents would agree to that." Matt chuckles.

"Ouch… Well you really don't know anything about him do you?" Foggy questions rhetorically. "Well his parents died in a plane crash when he was 6 years old. Peter has been living with his aunt and uncle since then, until about a year ago when his uncle, Ben Parker, was shot and died. And you already know that recently his aunt was also shot and is laying in a coma at the moment. The kid's been through a lot more shit than most people twice his age." Foggy says empathetically.

That really is a lot of shit for someone his age and it's not even including all the trauma's he probably has from being Spider-man. I sit down at my office chair while Foggy takes the chair in the corner of the room.

"I also found some papers about gamma radiation Peter wrote for his school, Midtown High. He's smart."

"So he doesn't really have any relatives to take care of him at the moment. Where is he currently staying? Is he staying with Mrs Spencer?"

Foggy shakes his head. "No. He is currently staying at a foster home in Queens."

A comfortable silence falls between us. I take a sip of the cup of coffee I bought in my way to the office. I hear Foggy taking out some papers. "By the way, Mattie, did you hear about Spider-man last night?"

Confused I turn my head up. "Wait, what?" Did Foggy find out about Peter's alter ego? He can't have found out, can he?

"Sorry for changing the subject, but I don't really know that much more relevant information about Peter, but anyways, something is going on between the avengers and spider-man. I saw it on the news this morning. Several witnesses saw the avengers fight against spider-man! Do you think there's going to be something like a civil war between heroes?" Foggy excitingly says.

"Last night?" I question confused.

"Yeah, and you know what the funny part is? Witnesses said Spider-man managed to web up three of the avengers! Three! One point goes to team vigilantes." Foggy grins.

You've got to be kidding me, the avengers are after Peter? "Shit." I say half confused and half panicked, yet Foggy seems to be ignorant of my sudden distress. I knew the avengers, or better said SHIELD, would go after Spider-man's identity one day. But why on earth do they have to do that now? Can't they give the boy a break? He's got more than enough on his plate already…

"I know right? Those amateur heroes don't know what they're in for, challenging the vigilantes. Also, you were busy last night, so I forgot to tell you. We have a new client, her name is Mandy." Foggy goes on, but I can't really focus on what else he's talking about.

Back to the now

"I know about you're secret, but it's safe with me. I wouldn't tell a soul." I say to Peter and I mean it. I hear his heartbeat raise up. The boy is suddenly on high alert and seems ready to sprint away at any given time. He tries, and fails miserably, to act as if he has no idea what I mean. He doesn't trust me.

I sigh. If I want him to trust me, I have to prove he can. "Take a look at what is inside my bag." I shift the bag towards Peter and wait for him to open it.

"I'd figured it would only be fair. Gaining someone's trust goes both ways. I know about your secret, so now you also know about mine." I say as I turn my head to the teenager. I wait for a reaction but speak up again as the boy just seems to be lost for words. "I heard what happened with the avengers. You have to lay low for a while."

Peter nods slightly in response.

"In the meantime, I would like to offer you the proper training. Your reflexes are good, but you need to work on your technique."

"N-no Mr Murdock, you don't need to.." Peter starts but I cut him off.

"I insist. Meet me this Friday at 7 o'clock in the Fogwell's gym in Hell's Kitchen. Take care, Peter." I walk away before the boy can refuse (because I know he probably will) and leave him to his thoughts.

Meanwhile at the avengers tower

"You really made a mess out of this." Fury says disappointedly. Tony opens his mouth to defend himself and the team but is cut off by director Fury. "No, Stark I don't want to hear you whining about how you don't agree with me. You never agree."

"We underestimated him." Steve speaks up. "He's a lot tougher than we expected."

"Fix it. As fast as possible and as discreet as possible. A lot of New Yorkers care about the vigilante, your were reckless when trying to take him in. The press is already asking more questions than they should. Don't mess this up any more than you already have." The hologram closes and the team is left alone while Fury goes back to whatever he was doing before.

After a few minutes of uncomfortable silence Natasha speaks up again. "With Spider-man knowing about our mission it'll be much harder to catch him by surprise. If he has a decent brain, he'll know to lay low for a while."

Clint shrugs. "To be honest, I don't believe we could ever really take him by surprise. It's like he knew exactly when and where I was going to shoot my arrows! I think that freaking webhead can see the future or something!"

"You're just angry he dodged your arrows." Tony says.

"I never miss." Clint mutters frustrated.
