A/N: hey everyone quick question does anyone have any suggestions of what they would like to see out of Peter and Avas relationship before or after it ends?
New York city, home to the miracle Mets, Yankee stadium, New York Giants and the Nix at Maddison square garden and most iconic the super heroes.
Since the Second World War and the rise, then resurrection, of Captain America super heroes have become an almost daily sight in the city. world renowned heroes like the Avengers brought hope and safety to the people then came the next generation young teenaged heroes taking on villains in the streets. With justice came damage and lots of it, biased media reporters spewed their unfounded opinions.
With the growing rate of super criminals a new agency was formed, one supported by biased media and now civilians against heroes' presence. Harry Osborn was now the center of attention, having survived being attacked by the ruthless beast the Hulk. The footage was released by the daily bugle only minutes after the attack and the Hulks departure.
"yes it is tragic having placed our faith in a monster whose soul enjoyment is destruction. The Avengers took the Hulk as one of their own, a trusted companion meant to protect us?! It's because of the Avengers and Shields hero program that these villains exist! The heroes refused to give us their resources so rogue scientists and black book companies were left to attempt to replicate several human enhancements on criminals and low lives! Our military and policing agencies would be far superior to all had Captain America or Ironman provided them with their abilities! They made the choice to keep us weak while they claim they're protecting us! But how can we rely on men who trust our lives with monsters? The green beast attacked my men and myself. Stark and Rogers must be made to choose serving the people and allow my men access to replicate their data banks on every villain they know or stand aside and be shut down!"
The crowd cheered and roared with supportive applause as they blindly cheered for the teen who would lead them into the true age, the age without super pests. Behind Harrys podium showed the footage of Hulks arrest earning a wave of disapproval from the crowd.
"is this what we should expect as saving! This monster, a demi god, an ego maniac and an old fossil? People of New York you know where I stand will you stand with me?!"
Once again the crowd roared with a thunderous applause cheering for Harry Osborn.
(Avengers Tower)
The tower had become a place of debate sparked by the press conference they had witnessed on t.v. outraged and scorned the remaining Avengers argued over the best way to counter Harry Osborn's political attack.
"he attacked Hulk!" Hawkeye growled slamming his fist on the table rattling the dishes on its top.
"Clint calm down! If we go at this with hot tempers we won't be able to help Hulk" Stark replied "I've got F.r.i.d.a.y analyzing the footage for any and all anomalies if Osborn edited the footage she'll find it then we can expose him. we have to play this politically! Or else we'll only be proving his point of being above the law! We try to force a confession out of him and we're done we will be the villains he's making us out be!"
"nay this unjust act of war must be returned in kind!" Thor bellowed "I say we smite this trickster, he's no Loki but his lies are dangerous none the less"
"Thor! As much as I hate to say it Tony is right if we go after Osborn now we'd be playing into his anti-hero campaign our best option is to draw a confession out and find out where Hulk is" Black Widow stated.
The Avengers argued over the matter at hand but Captain America stared out the window over the city, people here used to watch out for each-other however in this era cutting down the people who only helped the public was something of a past time. The police were constantly scrutinized and criticized on social media and now the super heroes were in the cross hairs. "people want something to hate" he softly spoke to his reflection "they feel their lives have become meaningless that to jump on a band wagon of hate makes them matter. they hate us because it's the trend and Osborn is fueling the fire by telling them super beings are the enemy of average people….Stark is right we have to do this legally" there was defeat in Caps voice as he spoke. He had to have faith in legalities at this point or the people would turn against them.
Everyone stared at the super soldier in awe, Captain America didn't have a plan of action.
"Tony, I've recovered the full footage from Osborn's data base at the SCCPD headquarters your suspicion is spot on. A distress signal was sent to the agents of S.M.A.S.H from a command truck that is why Hulk was in Harlem, Tony they ambushed him. I'm still deciphering the encryptions as to where they sent him, but it appears Osborn has a secret private prison under the ocean just outside the city designed to hold super beings" FRIDAY announced to the Avengers.
Hawkeye slammed both fists onto the table top in anger "I say we confront that little twerp now! We have evidence lets expose him and get his ass shipped off to Seagate!"
Stark flicked FRIDAYs video footage onto a portable drive as multiple parts of red and gold metal limbs flew in merging to his body "alright lets go see little Osborn about his fake movie"
(Osborn penthouse)
Harry Osborn sat at his father's desk in the penthouse talking with his officer from the SCCPD and an older man in an expensive armontie suit when his front door ripped from its hinges and thrown across the room followed by a handful of SCCPD officers.
Ironman, Captain America and Thor entered the room "what is the meaning of this!" the older man shouted rising from his seat in protest.
"gentlemen sorry for the intrusion but your door man was rather hostile" Ironman joked "now down to business…"
"You're trespassing Stark" the officer barked bringing his rifle to firing height ready to pull the trigger on the Avengers.
Ironman quickly raised his left arm emitting a high frequency pitch arming his repulser at the officer "trust me buddy this is not in your best interest" he calmly told the officer.
"the officer is right Stark" the man said, intervening on the conversation, "you're trespassing on OSCORP property armed no less…"
"save it gramps, Junior here set up an illegal prison and falsely arrested an Avenger!"
"You mean the Norman Osborn detention center? The governor approved of the center when he signed off on the certification of the SCCPD" the old man grinned "as for your friend, he attacked Mr. Osborn's officers and was detained for it. But my question Stark is how did you come by this? By hacking OSCORP files perhaps? Isn't that illegal? So are the Avengers above the law?"
Ironman was slightly dumbfounded for the moment, apparently the old man was the Osborn family attorney.
"it's alright Jerry" Harry politely spoke with his snake like grin "you're out dated Stark you and you're freak show, if you want your monster back you, the star spangled banner boy and Goldie locks can board a shuttle and go after him cause he's no longer on the planet. That monster is to dangerous to be allowed to stay"
Thor lunged forward only to have Captain America quickly grab him. "I'll crush your vile speaking mouth!" Thor bellowed.
"I should sue you right now Stark! Invading my home, attacking my staff and now threatening me!" Harry screamed "contain your nuke Tony! You want Hulk go find him! cause my ass is legally covered" Harry rose from his desk in a fit of rage "get off my property Stark and if you try to slander my name outside your tower walls not only will I sue but it will be an act of war and my SCCPD out number your Avengers not to mention I have the public support"
With his final outburst Harry slammed his thumb on a red button bringing in more SCCPD officers and one NYPD patrolman "officers the Avengers attacked my staff and damaged my property escort them from the premises and if they set foot or come into any kind of contact with OSCORP property I want them arrested!" he ordered.
The Avengers readied themselves for a potential fight as more and more SCCPD officers flooded the room with their weapons drawn Ironman looked around the room with FRIDAY targeting each individual "call your dog's off kid we have a stalemate I have an arsenal in this suit locked on to everyone of your boys and you. So call them off or this room lights up like July 4th"
Harry stared at Ironman snarling under his breath, he didn't like being ordered around he was now the OSCORP C.E.O and founder of the SCCPD, soon to be the saviour of the city not some kid to be talked down to. "fine! Officers kindly escort them out!" he snapped.
As the Avengers departed Harry picked up his father's desk ornament and whipped it at the corner wall smashing it to pieces "FUCKING damn it! That arrogant prick waltzed into my home and disrespects me! I want him and his circus friends dealt with Jerry pull the security footage and send it to every media outlet in the city along with a statement that he's falsely accusing me with doctored footage of Hulks arrest, footage edited by his A.I program in his tower! And get the mayor and the governor on the phone because I want them locked up!" Harry screamed.
"take it easy Mr. Osborn" Jerry calmly coaxed "the Avengers won't be an issue for much longer. If they wish to find the green beast they'll have to vacate the planet at which point we can issue a warrant for their arrest. They won't be here to respond to the accusations and forfeit their right to trial"
"perfect and what of SHIELDs hero program and Spider-man?"
"in time Harry remember with Fury watching over them they're protected on a federal level, they have to break the law. simple bait and trap tactics won't prevail like it will with the Avengers. Stark is a private industrialist SHIELD isn't so we'll have to be careful"
Peter finished placing the last of Aunt Mays luggage in Coulson's car. He still couldn't fully comprehend this, Aunt May was leaving for England, even though he was happy for her it still needed some adjusting. The trunk closed and Aunt May came shuffling from the porch with Coulson at her side leaving Ben at the door.
Peter hugged his Aunt goodbye knowing it would be a good long while before they would see each-other again "take care of yourself Peter. I know you're superhero and you can look after yourself but I'm still saying it. Remember you and Ben need to better than what you were, after all your brothers and more importantly your my boys…I'll call home after we've gotten settled at our new place"
Aunt May dropped into her seat with a final wave goodbye Coulson's red corvette rolled away.
The two teens watched the tail lights fade around the corner into the stretch of traffic "are just going to sit here or are we following them to the airport?" Ben nonchalantly asked.
Peter looked back at Ben with a very obvious expression "what do you think?" he replied.
"aha, well then I'm going to have to borrow some stuff because I gave up this whole masked vigilante bit years ago hell I was normal up until I got dragged back here" Ben explained.
"speaking of which if you were so happy being normal in sault lake city why the did you come back?"
"do you really want to cross that bridge right now?"
"I'll admit its peaked my curiosity I mean hell you got to escape from any responsibility for 5 years why would you come back to New York?"
"if I tell you will drop the entire subject and leave my past alone?"
"meh 50/50 chance"
"fine" Ben moaned rolling his eyes "I came home because Jessica landed a job with the bugle to cover an opinion piece on you ok her job now is to photograph and write a column on Spider-man there are you happy"
"not really no but it'll make do for now" Peter handed Ben on of his web shooters "remember how to use these?"
"guess we'll find out" Ben chuckled.
"if you fall I'm going to catch your ass"
Harrys legally dismantling the Avengers and assuming control of the city.
Aunt May has left the nation for a new home in England with captain Coulson leaving Peter with house (what could possibly go wrong)
the Avengers are in trouble if they can't get ahead of Osborn and his anti super human movement.
the timeless writer: doesn't look like the Avengers are happy and Peters unaware of whats happened just yet.
the story's shadow: Taskmaster might yet get the advantage if nobody catches on to his plan. and Harry doesn't seem to scared of the Avengers right now.
guest: when she finds out...she loses it!
