A/N: Ah, I suppose I should update. I have been working on spacing chapters out, but now that I have, the flow kind of has seemed to be less... Flowy? Yeah, that's not a word... Anyways, lets get on with the story...

Disclaimer: I don't own Spider-Man or the Avengers or any of their related characters. If I did, Andrew Garfield would still be playing Peter Parker in the upcoming Civil War movie. Just sayn'.

Peter woke up to the feeling of a needle poking through his skin. 'Ow.' He looked up to see a vaguely familiar man with messy, dark brown hair and glasses poking the needle through. Peter made a face.

"Peter," Peter turned to see that Steve had not left his side. In fact, he was on the bed next to him with his arm around Peter, holding him close, "This is Bruce Banner."

Peter looked at Bruce, "Like Gamma radiation expert Bruce Banner? The person whom I did my college physics report on Bruce Banner?"

Bruce shrugged, "Unless there is some other Bruce banner that you know of that is an expert in the same field of science, I would assume so."

Peter's eyes lit up, "I am a huge fan!"

"Of me turning into a giant green rage monster? Thanks."

"No. Of your work. I have read it all. Absolutely incredible. I would love to sit and just talk science with you sometime."

Bruce blushed, "Um, yeah. That actually sounds great."

"Okay," Steve cleared his throat, "Not that I don't appreciate you two bonding, but I'm kind of feeling the third wheel thing going on over here while you guys are gushing about science."

Peter looked up and smiled at Steve, "Sorry." Steve shrugged.

"So, umm... When's Spidey coming back?" Steve asked and Bruce's head looked at Peter curiously.

'Crap. How can I excuse Spidey's absence for being at the same time as mine?' "I- uh. Um, I sent him a text before I called you. Told him to stay away from New York."

"Why?" This question was asked by Bruce.

"Because if Oscorp wanted me, they would have gone for him next. For his blood. With both of our bloods, they could replicate Spider-Man's-" 'Oh, crap.' Peter realized, "They can replicate his powers." The men looked like they wanted to question further, but Peter gave them an exhausted look.

"Oh. So, that's why he didn't come for you." Steve looked down.

"Yeah. The greater good, I guess." Peter said.

No one said anything for a second, but then bruce chuckled and spoke, "Tony's going to flip."

"Why?" Peter asked.

"His crush on Spider-Man? Surely Spider-Man had said something to you." Bruce said and Steve chuckled.

"Yeah..." Peter was still a bit confused, he still felt a bit fuzzy.

Steve turned Peter's head to look at his, "He's going to be crushed to find out that he won't have Spider-Man to come home to." Peter laughed and then stopped, 'Oh my gosh. I kissed Tony as Spider-Man and Steve as me. I am in big trouble.'

"You okay, Peter?" Bruce questioned.

"Yeah," Peter turned to him, 'I am going to need to clean up this mess big time.', "Yeah, I'm fine." Both of the other men looked at him unconvinced, but did not push further.

"Well, I am going to head up. Why don't you get some rest, Peter?" Bruce headed towards the door, "I would not be surprised if Steve were to stay here with you." He winked at the two, who both blushed. Bruce then headed out the door.

Peter rolled and put his head on Steve's chest and closed his eyes. Steve froze for a second, but then relaxed, pulling Peter in close.

-Line Break-

Peter woke up to the sound of a phone ringing. He felt Steve getting up, but Peter grabbed his shirt.

"Sorry, Peter. I've got to answer this. It might be the team finally." Steve continued to try to leave, but Peter didn't give in.

"Mmm. I don't care." Peter said sluggishly, "Just answer and talk to him here."

"Won't I keep you up?"

"I'll be kept up if you leave."

Peter heard Steve and then answer the phone, "Hello?" And then after a second, "Yeah, I am with him now in the tower. I am going to kick Oscorp's workers' butts." Peter zoned out, focusing on Steve's breathing instead. He vaguely heard Steve relay information about what happened and... About Spider-man? After several minutes, Peter heard, "Yeah, all right. I'll ask him." Steve shifted, "Peter?"

"Mmm?"

"Tony wants to know if you can contact Spider-Man. So, he can guide him to a safe house?"

Peter immediately panicked, "It's probably not best to contact him while he's hiding. Oscorp could easily track him down that way. Besides, hiding in a 'safe house' owned by a known acquaintance is probably not the best idea."

Steve relayed the information and Peter could barely hear a lofty sigh and then a, "Yeah, I guess that is true." over the phone.

After a few more minutes of conversing, Steve eventually hung up the phone, "I think Tony's going to have a heart attack."He chuckled, "He is so concerned about the wall-crawler."

Peter nodded and felt a pang in his stomach. He can't lead Tony on like this, he's just going to hurt him. He is going to have to do something about this situation, and fast.

A/N: Bum bum buuuuuum! Now, this is not me officially pairing Peter and Steve (Though, I love them as a pair so much). Peter is just in that awkward, "trying to figure out what the hell is going on and what to do about it" zone. Anyways, hey! Bruce was introduced this chapter. Yay! Excitement. Any who, please review, follow, review, review, favorite, and... review. It feels great whenever you guys do so. See you all soon! Wow, I just realized this is my shortest chapter yet. Whoops, now it's not because of this note...
