The Avengers were in the tower during the fight. As it was broadcast live the Avengers were going to go out to stop the Rhino, as the news calls him, but then saw Spider-Man jump into the scene. They saw no point in helping because of 1. The fight would mostly be over when they get there and 2. They probably would have caused more property damage. So they sat back and watched. The way how Spider-Man fought, with jokes but also used their weakness, he would see something that would give him the advantage so he would use it. Quite clever actually.
When the fight was over they watched as Spider-Man left the scene as quickly as possible, not wanting to be bathed in the praise of the media, not wanting to take the attention, unlike someone we know... Tony. They saw S.H.I.E.L.D come and collect Rhino, but still no Spider-Man to be found. He seemed a bit shaken up when he left the tunnel, what could have happened down there.
They were all so lost in their own worlds that they were startled when J.A.R.V.I.S spoke.
"Sir Spider-Man seems to have landed on the roof and is waiting for you all." They could sense the amusement in J.A.R.V.I.S's voice for scaring them, even though he was an AI. They headed to the roof to see why Spider-Man was here.
The lift door opened once the Avengers reached the roof. The sun was beginning to set as it reached 2:00 pm. There, sitting on the edge of the roof was the blue and red vigilante, Spider-Man. His mask hid his emotions, they were just being stared at by large white bug eyes.
Silence. That was all. Silence. No one said a word, the wind blew, causing the Avengers to shiver slightly but Spider-Man seemed to sit there, on the edge of the roof unaffected. The silence was then broken.
"I... I need your help." Spider-Man spoke, he kept his voice low and steady.
"Why?" Clint decided to be the one who asked.
"There's... someone. Someone I need to stop." Spider-Man kept his gaze with the Avengers steady, not looking away. He needed their help.
"But, why do you need us?" Natasha is voiced.
"You know the robots," Spider-Man said. The Avengers nodded.
"Venom." Another nod.
"Rhino." Another nod.
"They were created." Spider-Man began. The Avengers listened.
"By him." Spider-Man spat out the word 'him' as if it some foul word on his tongue.
"Who's 'him'?" Bruce asked without the venom in his voice.
"The Monster."
"Who's this 'Monster'?" Steve asked. Spider-Man didn't say a thing. It was clear that he didn't want to talk about him.
"What do we get in return for helping you?" Tony said, with a smirk on his face. Spider-Man showed the first sign of emotion, the Avengers saw him freeze up.
"How 'bout if we help you, you have to tell us who you are." Tony's smirk grew. He would finally get the answer he's been searching for. The Avengers looked back and forth between the arachnid and the billionaire, seeing what the spider will do.
They saw Spider-Man sigh, lowering his head before it snapped back towards them.
"I know you know I'm 15," Spider-Man said.
"Yes, wait! How?" Tony asked.
"I hacked J.A.R.V.I.S." The spider answered. They could hear the smirk on his face as they saw a flabbergasted Tony. Seeing that Tony was having a mini freak out and wouldn't be much help at the moment Steve took control. Steve slowly began to walk towards Spider-Man. Spider-Man just sat there, on the edge of the roof, unmoving.
Steve finally got to the point where he stood directly in front of Spider-Man, he placed his hand on his shoulder as the young hero staring up at him.
"We want to know who you are to help you, we won't stop you from being Spider-Man." The mask the spider wore didn't help to convey emotion but Steve sensed that Spider-Man seemed more relaxed.
"After we stop this 'Monster' you tell us who you are, I doubt your parents know what you're doing." Steve could tell the spider tense up at the mention of parents.
"My... my parents are... are." Spider-Man stopped, seemed to be thinking if he should tell them or not. It's seemed as the first thought won.
"Are dead." This saddened the Avengers. This kid is saving the world and he doesn't even have parents here to help or protect him.
"That Monster killed my only family." Spider-Man sneered. That was another hit to the Avengers' heart. Spider-Man is an orphan. A 15-year-old, saving the world, an orphan.
Silence passed over them. No one really knew what to say. Surprisingly it was Spider-Man who broke the silence.
"Ok."
"Ok. Ok for what?" Clint asked.
"If you help me, I'll tell you who I am." The Avengers shared a glance at each other. Silently having an agreement.
"Ok. We'll help." Steve said.
They weren't sure if Spider-Man was smiling or not, happy or sad but he still followed them back into the tower.
The hunt for the Monster begins.
And that's my lovely people is the end of chapter 11. Looks like the Monster is finally going to be hunted instead of the hunter, or will he. Remember my children, next chapter will be here next Monday. Anyway hope you enjoyed.
