Chapter 11 my dear friends. Sorry if it's super crappy. And short but I suppose you guys don't expect anything less…cause I keep doing this.

"I'm sorry what?" Peter faltered but then seemed to stand straighter with an determined glint came back in to his eyes as he looked at Tony. "I want to become Spiderman again." Tony leaned back in his chair "what…what brought this on?" "I watched the news," he took a deep breath " people are dying out there. Don't give me that 'people die every day' crap, I have the ability to stop them all from getting hurt and I'm taking a break from that because of some damn bullet and I was kidnapped? What if they went through all of that because I wasn't there? I wouldn't know but if I found out I would never forgive myself." Tony was about to cut him off but Steve held up his hand as if to say not yet, surprisingly the inventor kept his mouth shut. "On top of that I know the villains wouldn't expect me to come back so it would be the perfect attack. Also I'm almost 18, I will be very soon and then I'll be an adult so I can basically do anything I want as long as it's legal." He was pacing and using wild hand movements to get his point across and by this time all of the Avengers, besides Thor who returned to Asgard, were sitting in the kitchen listening to him. Each of them watching him with calculating eyes and seeing through every single line. They knew this was about something bigger than what he was talking about but none of them pressed.

Before Peter could continue his rant Natasha held up her hand and he stopped immediately "let us talk about it Peter." He looked at the floor besides walking back to his room, Natasha started talking once she was sure he couldn't hear her. "He's telling the truth, he does want to go back out and protect people." "There was something else though." Steve added in and the rest of the team nodded "yeah. It goes deeper than that and I'm positive that it has something to do with that little girl…" Bruce's comment made Tony glare at the floor he had been looking at since Steve opened his mouth, he still remembers how clearly the scientists had screamed when he barged into their bases in his suit. He didn't even ask them any questions and prolong their deaths like had planned on doing. He couldn't go back to the exact base where Hydra had kept Peter because they had blown it up when they had saved him but that didn't mean he couldn't go after other bases.

" It has to be more than just that, there has to be another reason." Tony sighed "It's because he blames himself for the death of his aunt." All heads snapped towards them "trust me on this. Did you hear what he said at her grave? He said that he was sorry for killing her and then add that to the little girl plus the bullet, that is the perfect mix of guilt for someone who probably had a bigger guilt complex before their unneeded imprisonment." Bruce took off his glasses to clean them " so what do you think we should do? He did get better and maybe becoming Spiderman will help his mental state." "Really? Putting him back on the streets will just cause some more problems?" Though Clint posed it as' a statement it ended in a question to which Steve nodded to signify his opinion "Clint's right, Hydra for all we know still might be after him. They always have more people and there will be questions concerning his very sudden return." "Also," Natasha looks at all of them in the eye "what about the people who he trusted with his secret? They know who he is and then we'll have to give them a cover story." Tony sighed but didn't say anything, there were some positives and negatives but the most Tony could see were the positives. "Restrictions and curfews." Everyone looked at him as if he grew a fifth head…considering he didn't eve have four heads that's saying a lot. "Excuse me?" Steve raised a brow but Tony leaned into the table "you heard me. We can let him be Spiderman but just have a close eye on him. First we obviously need to train him so he doesn't die on his first night back but Bruce-ie bear has a solid point, it could improve his mental state and he is getting better. Let us not forget that he came to all of us instead of just me. I think that speaks volumes."

The conversation went on like this for a long time, everyone throwing out the pros and cons as well as what type of training he would receive. In the end everyone decided to give him a test to see if he was as ready as he claimed to be. By the time they called Peter out it was near 10 at night, "I'm going to go check to see if he's asleep." Tony got up and walked to his room while stretching, he could feel his back pop and he let out a low groan 'I'm getting…old. Great.' When he reached the teen in question room he saw a faint blue and green light when he first opened the door, unsurprisingly Peter was on the ceiling in his little hammock asleep. Tony saw his pill bottles on his desk and for a moment he thought the teen did something tragic but a quick question and gentle confirmation that Peter did not in fact overdose from JARVIS made him release a breath he hadn't realized he was holding. Debating on whether or not he should tell Peter the good news only took a second before he walked out the room and the door slid shut silently. "Sir if I may ask why you didn't tell him?" Tony was sure JARVIS already knew considering how amused his voice seemed, usually the inventor would have woken him up but since his hospital fiasco… he didn't want to push it. "You know why JARVIS…he finally started sleeping through the night. I'm not about to ruin that." If JARVIS had a body he was sure that his trusted friend would be nodding at him with fondness, he already knew what JARVIS thought about Peter and himself so he assumed his AI would be proud of his responsible decision. "Will you tell him tomorrow Sir?" "Yes J, I will. After all it is him in that suit…but I'm going to make him a new one if he passes. That sweat suit is not going to fly, he's actually going to look like he isn't homeless."
