So this is still five years later, and it's set just after the last part of chapter 11(Science and Rings). Now, I've got some reivews to reply to!
gammawidow67: Squee! I know, right? I had that moment planned in my head for a long time ;)
Guest: Okay, I got your review just before I posted chap. 11. I may add male!Peggy to later chapter's when the mini-vengers go under cover. Thanks for the idea!
Disclaimer: Yes, I so own a comic book company that is older than my mom. totaly.
"So, have you tried calling your brother yet?" Brian asked Toby as they were sitting on the loveseat in the living room together. They had been watching The Lion King.
Toby bit her lip absentmindedly. "Yeah. Well, I tried, but he's still not answering. Bri, it's been over five years since I last heard from him." she said. "I'm really worried."
Brian thought about it for a moment. "We could always try asking Fury." he suggested, and Toby gave a girlish squeal, and gave her fiancé a bone-crushing hug.
"Ooh, that's an awesome idea, Bri!" she said happily. "I'll do that right now!" She made to get up from the couch, but she didn't need to, as Fury had just arrived into the room, with Cliff, Nate, Stephanie, and Thor following him.
"What's up?" Toby asked.
Fury gave them a small smile. "There is someone I want you to take care of."
"Who is it?" Brian asked skeptically. The few times that the mini-vengers had seen anything remotely close to battle, they just had to bring in regular people who were committing crimes. Toby had been very upset that they weren't able to take care of any supers.
"He calls himself Spider-man. He's a vigilante." Fury replied, and Toby gave him an annoyed look.
"Dude, we know who Spider-man is! He saved the city from the giant lizard-man a few months ago!" she said. "And you wouldn't let us go help him out because we 'didn't have enough experience to be effective'." She tried to mimic Fury's deep voice, failing miserably.
Fury gave her a hard look. "Well, I want the six of you-and yes, I'm sending Thor to babysit you, Sterling-to find this Spider-man and to persuade him to join the Avengers Initiative."
"And if we're not able to find him?" Cliff asked.
Fury turned to look at him. "During the fight, when he was apprehended by police officers, his mask was removed." he said. "We were not able to get an identity, but we do know that he's rather young, has a slight build, and has brown hair."
Nate rolled his eyes. "Yes, because that description seems to be so specific. We'll be able to find the kid in no time!" he said in a sarcastic voice.
Stephanie slapped him on the bicep. "There's no need to be rude," she told her boyfriend in a scolding tone.
Fury smiled briefly at her, then added, "And it seems as if Captain Stacy, the officer that removed his mask, knew him. Captain Stacy died in the fight, but he left behind a wife and children. Whoever Spider-man is, I believe that the Stacy's know his identity."
"So…" Toby said slowly, "What do you want us to do, go back to high school? 'Cause I'm a little old for that."
The other's laughed, even Thor (though he didn't really get the joke), but Fury did not."
Cliff's eyes widened. "Oh, no. No, no, no. I am not going back to high school. You can't make me!" The last part was shrieked like a little girl.
Nate gave him an annoyed look. "Cliff, you are twenty one years old, act like it." he said.
Cliff pouted, as did Toby, as they got into their suits. Toby's Iron Man suit looked identical to the one that Stark wore. It was designed with a voice modifier, so that she sounded just like Tony Stark. This was done to protect the identities of the new Avengers team, and to scare the living daylights out of criminals who didn't expect a dead person to catch them. Even Steph's suit was designed to hide her feminine curves, and she just didn't speak while they were fighting (not because she didn't have a voice modifier, but because she didn't like sounding like a guy). If anyone noticed that Captain America was now 5"8 instead of 6"2, no one mentioned it.
Nate (thankfully) didn't have to dress up like the original Black Widow, but he did have to wear a tight black suit. Not that Steph really minded when he wore it.
They headed out into the city night, Thor and Toby flying, the other's using a small quinjet to get to their location, wherever that was.
"I see him!" Cliff whisper/shouted into his com, pointing to a dark alleyway where Spider-man was stopping a mugger from, well, mugging a young woman.
Cliff, Steph, Brian (as the Hulk, and no, they didn't quite know why he was so calm today), and Nate were able to jump out of the quinjet with relative ease, while Thor and Toby landed softly next to the others.
They waited until Spider-man was finished, before Toby shouted out, "Hey, kid!"
Stephanie almost face palmed. They were told by Coulson not to startle the kid, but does Toby listen? No, no she does not.
Spider-man turned towards them with lightning-fast reflexes. He looked tense and apprehensive. "Yeah?" he said defensively. "Did you need something? Because I'm a little busy right now" He started edging away from them.
"Thor, don't let him leave!" Steph shouted, wincing at the sound of her modified voice. She really, really didn't like sounding like a dude.
Thor did as he was asked, and blocked the young vigilante's path.
Spider-man gave an exaggerated sigh. "You know, you seem like nice people. Maybe you should just let me go, and-"
Hulk snorted. "We're not dumb, puny spider!" he grunted.
Spider-man sighed again. "Yeah, I know. Which is why I have to do this!" He shot something from his wrist at each of them. It covered Toby's helmet, so she couldn't see, it trapped Stephanie and Nate to the ground, glued all of Cliff's arrows together, and made the Hulk and Thor stuck together.
"Later, guys!" Spider-man called to them as he swung away on one of his web strings. "Hope I don't have to run into you guys again!"
Nate groaned. "I hate that damn spider-kid." he grumbled.
SHIELD didn't come for another two hours, in which time the Avengers got very bored and decided to play I-Spy. Toby lost every time, due to the webbing covering her head.
By the time SHIELD came, everyone was hating that damn spider-kid.
So, an appearance by Spider-man (who is my favorite marvel character next to Cap and Iron Man :D), and a little bit of fluff at the beginning. I really hope that you liked that chapter, please R&R! Oh, and no updates till Monday. Sorry :(
