Chapter 14
Peter could hear his heart pumping out of his chest. Right in front of him his best friend Harry was standing before his father, staring the devil in his eye. The rain seemed to evaporate instantly when it fell of his skin, the heat of his body overwhelming him as his spider sense went haywire.
"And this is what the great NIck Fury has sunk to," The Goblin mocked, snickering at his frightened son, "shoving my own child in front of me."
Harry shakily stood and looked up to his father, "I came on my own." He stepped back when his father grunted in confusion. "He told me what you were doing," Harry continued, "I-I told him to bring me here so I can tell you… Please, please stop this Dad. Please stop this."
"Carrier, this is Stark. Load me Osborn's genetic sequence," said Iron Man, looking on as Harry kept his father at bay,
"You need to stop. You have to stop," pleaded Harry through his choking tears.
Norman's gruff expression softened and the flames from his body died down. "File loaded Mr. Stark," said the agent on the coms.
Iron Man crept towards The Goblin, making sure not to alert the other villains. "Nick can you hear me," Iron Man called in the coms, "I have a lock on Osborn."
Iron Man's suit filled with static, he could hardly make out what Fury was saying, "Ton…..do...it..zzzkkkkssttt"
The Goblin groaned as his body transformed back into his normal state. He looked back at his son, "Harry…." Harry's face lit up as his father slowly regained his humanity.
Iron Man aimed at The Goblin, "I have a lock. l'm taking the shot."
Just as Iron Man fired the blast and The Goblin, Fury's voice finally got through, "TONY DON'T DO IT! DON'T SHOOT!"
The blast hit The Goblin in his back, immediately changing his body. His body went back to his Goblin form, but it started to mutate further. Harry watched in horror was his father's body warped into a lumpy, grotesque heap of flesh and bones, "AAAAAAAHHHHHH KKKIIIIILLLLL YYYOOOOOOUUU!" The Goblin collapsed, struggling to breathe as everyone quickly gathered around him.
Fury rushed over to Harry and pulled him away from the suffocating Goblin. Nick struggled to hold back the hysterical Harry trying to fight out of his grip, "Sorry kid. It wasn't the plan."
A large electrical explosion flashed in the sky. Captain America walked up to Iron Man, "Who is it? Thor or Electro?"
"Friday," asked Iron Man, hoping that Friday was still operable. Just then, a sparking figure floated down from the sky towards the group. Both heroes stood their ground. ¨Get ready," instructed Tony. The figure softly landed in front of them.
Thor looked at the two with a raised eyebrow, "Are we done here?"
"We are," answered Captain America, "Alpha Team head out! Beta and Clean-up Teams! Letś put a lid on this! ASAP!"
Peter got down from the balcony and slowly made his way towards Harry. Harry stood motionless as the tears blinded his vision so he couldn't see the S.H.I.E.L.D. agents took his father away. He turned to face Peter who was in tears too. "Oh Harry…" Peter started, hugging his best friend, "You didn't deserve any of-"
"All of you," Harry spoke in a choked, threatening voice, "I will kill all of you for this." With that, he pushed Peter off of him and stormed away from the White House. Peter felt his heart stop for a second, his knees weak and his arms heavy.
Fury put a hand on the young heroes soldier, "Kid, for any number of reasons, you have to get out of here." He led Peter to an agent and handed him his mask, "Follow Agent Brtick here to transport. You'll be in New York in an hour. You have people waiting for you."
Peter looked up at Fury, "But...Harry…"
"We got it under control," Fury said reassuringly.
S.H.I.E.L.D. Headquarters
Agent Brtick knocked on the restroom door, "Mr. Parker, please hurry up."
Peter walked out, putting his arm into his shirt sleeve, "Are you escorting me home too?"
Brtick walked with Peter down the hall, "Both you and your aunt."
Peter's eyes widened in shock, "My aunt is here?"
"This was the best place to keep her safe," Brtick explained. He stopped Peter outside of the door, "We don't have much time so listen up: she believes that both of you and she were kept here the whole time, but kept you separated for security reasons. She was told that the two of us were picked up and held from protection from Norman Osborn, do you follow me?"
"So she thinks the she and I were here the whole time in separate," Peter said confused.
"Exactly," Brtick replied, "And you know nothing."
"Nothing?"
"You don't know anything," Brtick repeated.
Peter fiddled with his fingers, "Is she ok?"
Brtick rolled his eyes under his shades, "She's fine."
"Is she mad," asked Peter.
"Dunno," replied Brtick, "On a scale of one to ten…"
"I AM GOING TO SUE ALL OF YOU! YOU HEAR ME?," Aunt May screamed to the frightened S.H.I.E.L.D. agents.
"I'd say an 11," Brtick said jokingly.
"If I don't get to see my nephew and his friends right this second, right here RIGHT NOW! I am going to sue everybody in the sound of my voice," exclaimed Aunt May to Peter's amusement.
Peter chuckled lightly, "Aunt May."
Aunt May turned around and saw a smiling Peter in the doorway. She rushed over to her nephew and hugged him tightly, "Oh thank god!" She lifted her head and looked over Peter's shoulder, "Wait, where are the others?"
Maria Hill walked through the door followed by Gwen, MJ, Ava, Luke, Danny and Sam, "They're right here." Aunt May ran over and hugged all of the young friends with excitement. "Ms Parker, we'd like for Peter and his friends to stay behind for a few minutes for some questions, after that myself and a few of our agents will escort you to your new residence."
Peter turned to Maria confused, "New residence?"
"Octopus and Kraven destroyed your house when they attack your friends, so you'll be given a new house to live in," Maria explained to the web head.
Aunt May sighed and nodded, "Fine, I'll be out here if you need me." With that she left the room.
Maria turned to Peter and his team, "Now with you five, there's some things to clear up…" She looked at Peter, "We made you an appointment with Dr Reed Richards, he'll be the one to take the symbiote out." She turned to Ava, "Ayala, we know of your predicament, with your powers and all."
Peter looked at Ava worried about her sad expression, "So it is true. You're losing your powers?"
Ava nodded sadly, "I was gonna tell you when I got out of the hospital. I have to leave."
Peter, Gwen and MJ gasped in utter shock. "With Ava working for S.H.I.E.L.D. as White Tiger, she could stay in America, it was her alternative for actual citizenship, but since we couldn't wait for her to go through the standard immigration process, S.H.I.E.L.D. made her a citizen as long as she could work under us," Maria explained, "But since she can't, bottomline…"
"She can't legally stay here," Peter finished, sitting down so he wouldn't pass out, "What are you gonna do?"
Ava shrugged, "I don't know, I don't know how I'm losing them and if I did, I wouldn't know anyone who could fix it."
Danny crossed his arms, "Well I do, we can go after we deal with the rest of us."
"What do you mean," asked Peter.
"Me and Danny are leaving," Luke answered.
Peter shot up out of his chair, "You're leaving too!?"
"We're all leaving web head," Sam told Peter.
Peter ran his fingers through his hair, "Why? Guys!"
"S.H.I.E.L.D.'s not doing us any good Pete," Luke grumbled a little angry, "They we're protecting only you and themselves, we were left hanging trying to protect Aunt May and the girls."
"We were better off as vigilantes," Danny added, trying to calm down his friend.
"And I was better off with The Guardians," Sam told his disappointed friend and teammate, "My powers could be put to better use if I'm with them than down here."
Peter sighed and looked at his friends, "It's your choice, I can't stop you. Still, I'll miss you guys."
Luke laughed, "Dude, we're just going back to Hell's Kitchen, all you have to do is swing there."
"And all you have to do is call, you know how fast the ship is," Sam added, laughing with Luke.
Peter laughed with his friends, enjoying the last few moments with his teammates. He sighed and smiled at them, "Good luck guys, I'm sure you'll be the best heroes in history."
"I dunno," Sam said shrugging, "Hard to top the guy who took on the Avengers and survived."
The young heroes walked out with Maria to Aunt May, "All right Ms Parker, ready to go?"
Everyone followed Maria into a quinjet and flew away. They landed in New York City infront of a large skyscraper. Peter and the others looked on in awe as Maria led them to the penthouse at the top of the building. Maria opened the door and let everyone in, "Welcome to your new home."
Sam looked around the living room, "This is making me want to stay."
"8 bedrooms, 3 and a half bath, already furnished with HD flat screens, lounge chairs, beds, stocked kitchen, wifi, and of course the view," Maria said cheerfully. She gave Peter the keys, "And it's all yours."
MJ and Gwen squealed in glee, rushing to see the rest of the penthouse. Aunt May wiped away a tear from her eye, "This is wonderful isn't it Peter?"
Peter turned to Ava, Sam, Danny and Luke and smiled weakly, "Yeah, it sure is." He gave Aunt May the keys, "Here, go look around the house, I gotta go out somewhere."
Aunt May squinted at him suspiciously, "Alright but get back before dark, I'm making a big dinner for tonight."
After they closed the door to the apartment, Peter turned to Danny, "OK, who's this person and where are they?"
Sanctum Sanctorum
"Thanks for seeing us on such short notice, Sorcerer Supreme," said Danny as he and his friends walked through the lair of Doctor Strange.
"Nonsense, you all are my friends," replied Doctor Strange as he led them to his study. He turned to Ava, "So I've been told that the source of your powers is magical."
Ava nodded, "Yes, my amulet."
"May I," asked Doctor Strange, gesturing to the amulet on her waist.
Ava took off the amulet and handed it to the Supreme Sorcerer. He closed his eyes and waved his hand over the amulet, a sparkling purple aura surrounding it. "Hmm, it looks like the spirit connected to the amulet is detaching itself from you. If you want to get your powers back, you'll have to figure out what's causing it to do so," Doctor Strange explained as he handed Ava back her amulet.
Ava looked down at the amulet, "Looks like I have to go back anyway." Peter turned to her, his face clearly shocked and confused. Ava cupped his cheek, "I have to go Peter. Everything I can learn about the amulet is back at my home country. In order to get back here, I have to leave."
Peter sighed and nodded reluctantly. Ava smirked and kissed him, her lips sending shocks through Peter as he relished the feeling he missed for days. He smiled at her once they separated, "Thanks, I needed that."
They turned to the group who were staring at them in shock. "So how long has this been going on," asked Luke.
Peter and Ava laughed at their friends' expression. Peter gave Ava a longing glance, "It's a long story."
~~~ New Parker Residence ~~~
Peter sighed as he walked through the door of the new home of his. Aunt May greeting him with a hug, "You made it back thank God!" She looked behind him concerned, "Where are Ava, Luke, Sam and Danny?"
Peter rubbed the back of his neck, "They decided to go and get their own places. They apparently were saving up for them to get their own apartments."
Aunt May's face fell, "Oh, well...good for them. Independent young people, shame since Sam was such a good cook."
Peter chuckled, "Yeah, I'm gonna go wash up, maybe check out the house."
"Ok dear, dinner's almost ready," replied Aunt May returning back to the kitchen.
Peter went into a random room and saw Gwen and MJ jumping on the bed gleefully. They stopped when they saw Peter smirking in the doorway. Gwen flopped down and blushed, "Um, hey Pete."
"So, they're really leaving," MJ asked, her eyes saddened.
Peter nodded sadly. MJ and Gwen exchanged a look and hopped up from the bed. Gwen strolled over to Peter, "You want us to cheer you up?'
MJ grinned as she looked down to see the large tent in his pants. She stroked his crotch and kissed Peter on his cheek, "I'll take that as a 'yes'." She and Gwen kissed all over Peter's face, "We'll be back, after we slip into something more comfortable."
A few moments later, Gwen and MJ giddily snuck into Peter's room. Gwen giggled when she saw Peter fast asleep with his pants and boxers down to his knees, "Poor thing."
"Poor US," MJ replied, "I really looking forward to this." An evil grin grew on her face, "I wonder if they brought Ava's toy collection here."
