Peter was with Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Scott, Sam, Steve and Wanda after a mission he had with them earlier.
"You're done kid." Tony said.
"What?" Peter said.
"We can't risk you getting hurt like that again Pete." Natasha said.
Peter looked at them.
"Tony-" Bruce started but was cut off.
"Now get changed and give me both the outfits you have." Tony said.
Peter said nothing seeing the last time he did that but got up and did as told.
When he got back he threw them to Tony who caught them.
"You'll regret this." he said and left.
They watched him leave and wondered if they did the right thing.
Bruce already knew they did the wrong thing.
It had been a few months since Peter was forced to quit and Peter was at home reading when his phone rang.
"Hello?" he said.
"Kid! We need help!"
"Mr. Stark?"
"Yeah." Tony said.
"What would you need my help for? You're the Avengers and I'm wimpy, nerdy, geeky Peter Parker again?"
"We're trapped and can't get out. Bruce can't transform into Hulk for some reason."
Peter said nothing for a few minutes then hung up.
He sat there in silence for a few minutes then shook his head, got up, looked for his webs and found them.
"You are so lucky I still make them." he muttered then wrote a note to May.
Then he opened his window, aimed at a tree and jumped.
It's night time and everyone was at home making it easier to hide.
"You better still have it. If not then you'll have to wait a little longer while I make my own." he muttered and headed to Avengers Tower.
When he got there he looked around and saw them nowhere.
"Damnit Tony!" he said, ran to Bruce's lab and started making his own.
Meanwhile Tony, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Scott, Sam, Steve and Wanda were wondering if Peter was going to save them or not.
"I really screwed up making him stop." Tony said.
"Yeah, we all did." Clint said. "All except one." he said and looked at Bruce.
They all looked at Bruce who looked at them.
"I told you he knew what to do with his life since he got his powers. To save people. We're all getting older and he's only eighteen. He even skipped college to protect people. Then you took it away from him. Now he has nothing to do. Ned and MJ are all over the country in school while he's doing nothing." Bruce said.
Suddenly they heard the door open and saw the people smirking.
"Look who we have here." someone said.
It was Ross.
They all turned pale thinking one thing.
'Please help us Peter.'
Meanwhile Peter was getting changed into his new outfit and got to work.
While he went around people started to see him and sound relieved.
When he found the building he was looking for he slid down and listened for something to hear a door open.
"Dr. Bruce Banner, the man that left my daughter. The Hulk, her science teammate and the love of her life." Ross said.
Bruce winced then looked at him.
"I did it to protect her! I still love her but I can't risk hurting her. And the time you created your own Hulk getting me blamed for what I didn't do!" Bruce said.
"Who would want to date and marry someone like you?!"
Bruce stood there quietly and looked shut his eyes fighting the Hulk in him.
"No, not this time." he muttered fighting that part of him.
Then he took a deep breath and was fully back to Banner.
The others sighed in relief.
"I didn't want to leave her. But I still had little control of the part of me at the time and wanted to protect her. I thought about coming back when I got control but then they started chasing me so I didn't. When I met the others Steve and Tony were both the ones that offered me to join them. I said I'll join them if Clint does so they got us both. I think about her every day." Bruce said. "If I could I'd see a physiologist. But after you telling everyone what I am and no job I can't." he said. "If I ever found a way to get it out of me I'd go look for her and try and fix things. But I still can't."
They all, except Ross, felt bad for him.
Meanwhile Peter looked down and saw the others trapped.
'There they are.' he thought.
"Looks like even though he and Banner get along fine you're little helper isn't coming." Ross said. "But after what I heard you said to him I'm not surprised."
Tony winced at that.
Then Peter pulled up the trap and quietly went down.
Then he jumped off the wall and got Ross on the back.
"Oh would you just shut up?!" he said and punched him hard. "I know there's one person that didn't want me to leave. And he's always been one out of two of my mentors. But right now the only one I have."
"And who would that be?" Ross asked already having an idea.
"Dr. Bruce Banner. Even though the school has been saying since seventh grade I could graduate and go to college I stayed because of my friend. But then he and another friend are on the other sides of the country in college while I'm by myself! I gave up college last year knowing that my neighborhood is my responsibility. But then he makes me leave and now he realized that they need me!" he said and hit Ross in the chest hard.
Ross couldn't breathe and Peter knew it so covered his mouth and nose with webs.
"I feel like a murder right now but that's what you do for people when you're a hero." he said and shrugged. "Oh wait, I'm not allowed to be a hero anymore except right this second." he said and glared at everyone but Bruce.
Then he let them go and before they could say anything else was gone.
