Chapter 1: No Purpose

New York City, 2018. The home and center for nearly every superhero on the planet. Yet a place filled with hope, heroes, and people that never sleep still had its flaws. Crime was of course a daily problem both day and night. But with heroes everywhere, the good people of the five boroughs alway had hope of being safe.

"Someone help me!" a young woman shouted from an alleyway

"Quiet lil-missy." a large thug barked at her, "You won't be saved today-GAH!"

Suddenly the thug was picked up by an unknown figure and was trapped in between a nearby wall and some large web. The woman noticed a shadow swing away on the ground.

The figure landed on top of a truck before jumping off and shooting a web line, swinging across the city.

"Coming through!" he shouted to nearby civilians as he swung by

"Looking good Spidey!" one of them replied

"Hello New York!" Spider-Man shouted, "Today's a new day!"

Spidey did a backflip in the air before clinging to the side of a skyscraper. He took out his phone as it was vibrating, nearly hitting a flock of pigeons in the process, which got a cheap laugh out of several people who were watching him from the ground. He looked at the screen and realized it was S.H.I.E.L.D. calling him. Spidey put them to voicemail, not wanting to talk to them. He landed gracefully on the roof of an apartment building before slipping down the fire escape and into a window, which brought the webhead into his very own room.

Spidey walked solemnly up to his desk, taking his mask off in the process. The face of Peter Parker gazed at a picture of his deceased girlfriend, Gwen Stacy. Peter's disheveled blonde hair clung to his head with no product in it. He picked up the small picture of Gwen and rubbed his thumb across the image before putting it back down next to photos of his friends Harry Osborn and Mary Jane Watson, his clone Ben Riley, and his uncle Ben.

Peter was stuck in his thoughts until he was pulled out by a voice.

"Boss." a female voice said to him

"F.R.I.D.A.Y." he replied to his suit's AI

"You have new messages boss." F.R.I.D.A.Y. said to him, "First is from MJ, she says she'll be heading over to the Daily Bugle to file a story for Jameson before coming over to see you."

"Right." Peter muttered as he rubbed his forehead

"The next messages are all from Nick Fury. He wants you on the Tri Carrier."

"Right." Peter groaned, "Tell him I'm not coming."

"He says it's urgent." F.R.I.D.A.Y. added, which only annoyed Peter even more

"Fine, tell him I'll be right there."

Peter walked through the halls of the Tri Carrier. He wasn't wearing his Spider-Man uniform, instead he wore a white t-shirt, blue pants, sneakers, and a light jacket. Two guards escorted him to one of the Tri Carrier's conference rooms. Inside at the head of the table was a man with dark skin and one brown eye, while the other was covered by an eyepatch. He wore a navy blue shield uniform and a black jacket.

Nick Fury. The Director of S.H.I.E.L.D.

On the left side of the table were two men. One was a young man in his late 20s to early 30s. He had blonde hair and blue eyes, and wore a red-white-and blue spangled uniform. A circular shield was on his back a well.

Steve Rogers. Captain America.

The man to Cap's side was a man around the same age. He had black hair and brown eyes, and a goatee and mustache. He wore a red and gold suit of armor, with a blue circle on his chest.

Tony Stark. Iron Man.

Last but not least there was another guy in the room. He leaned against the wall on the other side of the room. He had black hair and sideburns. Like Peter, he wore a white shirt and blue pants. But had a brown leather jacket.

James Howlett, AKA Logan. The Wolverine.

"Spider-Man." Cap said to him kindly, "Welcome, we've been waiting."

"Pff, by waiting he means the last hour." Logan quipped, "What took you so long kid?"

Peter simply glared at him, "Logan. You haven't changed a bit."

Logan said nothing before allowing Fury to speak.

"I know you probably don't want to be here right now Spider-Man." Fury began, "So I'm gonna cut straight to the point."

Peter shrugged, "Go on."

"Otto Octavius was apprehended earlier today." Fury said to him

Peter's eyes widened, "Otto? I haven't seen him since...since the destruction of the Helicarrier."

"We know." Fury replied, "Apparently Octavius started to get a little buddy-buddy with an organization Cap and the rest of the Avengers are quite familiar with: Hydra."

Peter raised an eyebrow, "Hydra? That's far beyond Otto's league. What was he doing with them?"

"We don't know." Tony replied, "We managed to apprehend Octavius while he was sneaking around New York. But the Avengers and S.H.I.E.L.D. working around the clock to find out what Otto and Hydra were planning. Kid, we're gonna need you to-"

"No." Peter bluntly cut him off

Fury glared at him, "What do you mean no."

"I mean no." Peter replied, "I can't do this."

Logan scoffed, "You're just saying that because you're not an Avenger."

Logan then felt his face slam into the table as Peter shot a web line onto him, and pulled him down. Logan got up slowly, a large bruise covered his face that healed almost instantaneously.

"This...has nothing to do with the Avengers." Peter growled at him before turning to face Fury.

"4 years...4 years Fury. That is how long I've been Spider-Man." Peter said to him, "And I've lost everything...My parents...my uncle...my clone who I consider my brother for all I care...one of my best friends is in a coma that he'll likely never wake up from...and the other one is six feet under! I've got little left in my life, and no purpose."

Peter went into his bag and pulled out a file with several papers in it. He slid the file over to Fury and the two Avengers. Tony was the first to open it up and was surprised to see what it was.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. registration forms." the armored Avenger muttered

"I'm done." Peter put it simply, "I have to fix myself. No more Spider-Man, no more S.H.I.E.L.D."

Steve looked at the web-slinger, "Peter, are you sure-"

Suddenly, the entire Tri Carrier shook violently, causing most of the heroes in the room to tremble.

Fury processed to get on the comms, "Report."

"Cell block breach." an agent replied, "Prisoner is running rampant."

Peter's eyes darkened, "Otto."

"He's making his way to Osborn and Connors' lab." the agent replied, "We need backup!"

Fury looked at each of the heroes before finally glancing at Peter. The young hero just looked at him.

"Alright." Peter said with a knowing look, "I'll do it. But just this once."

Peter turned and grabbed his Spider-Man costume, but Tony then stopped him.

"Hey kid." he said, "Take the suit, one last hoorah."

Peter smiled slightly before heading toward Doc Ock's location.

"GAH!"

Norman Osborn was flung into the wall of his and Doctor Curt Connors' lab. He immediately took cover behind a desk with his fellow lab partner. A 30 year old man in a sage green and uniform with red goggles, brown hair, and four robot arms coming out of his back stood on the other side.

Otto Octavius aka Doctor Octopus.

"Osborn." Otto muttered sinisterly as he moved the desk away and grabbed Norman with one of his arms, "My old friend, how have you been?"

The two then took notice of the one-armed Connors trying to get away.

"Hold on Curtis." Otto muttered as he grabbed him with another arm and held them both against the wall

"My two greatest partners and creations working against me?" Otto said in a mocking tone, "I'm quite hurt."

"You used us Otto." Connors spat at him, "Turned us both into monsters!"

Otto sneered and threw Connors to the side before setting his sights back on Osborn.

"I'll cut straight to the point." Otto began, "You have something that was brought on board this hunk of junk with me. Where is it?"

Osborn glared at him, "I'll never talk."

Otto smiled evilly, "Very well."

Doc Ock raised one of his arms and was about to perform the killing blow, until it was caught in a web. Otto turned around and was promptly kicked in the face by Spider-Man. Otto lost his grip on Osborn and landed face first into a glass window, shattering it. He landed in the middle of a corridor that was unstable, and the floor ended up caving in, sending Otto falling down various levels of the Tri Carrier.

Spidey proceeded to help both Connors and Osborn onto their feet. He was wearing his red and gold Iron-Spider armor that was built by him and Tony Stark.

"Are you guys alright?" Spidey asked them both

Norman was a little fuzzy at first but soon got a good look at his savior.

"Peter…" he muttered, "You're here…"

"...Mr. Osborn." Spidey replied before contacting Fury

"Fury, I've got Connors and Osborn, Otto got away." he said

"He's not getting off this ship." Fury replied, "I'll have Stark and Rogers search the ship while you investigate what Otto brought aboard during his arrest."

"On it." Spidey said before turning back to Osborn, "I need to see what was brought on board when Otto was apprehended."

"Right." Osborn replied before he and Connors led the webhead towards a vault. Osborn unlocked it and showed Spidey several strange devices. Two of them looked like wrist watches, the last object made Spidey gasp. A cube that was glowing blue.

"Is that?" Spidey questioned

"Yes." Osborn replied, "The Tesseract. Otto got his hands on it while working with Hydra somehow."

"And I thought Ock wasn't crazy already." Spidey quipped, "What do the watches do?"

"Well, since the Tesseract is capable of opening portals to other dimensions and realities. We believe Otto made them as teleportation devices. Both powered by the Tesseract." Osborn explained

"Then we better-GAH!"

"Peter!" Osborn shouted as one of Otto's robotic arms grabbed Spider-Man and pulled him down the hole Otto fell down earlier. The arm also managed to grab the watches and Tesseract in the process. Spidey managed to break free from the arm's control. He slowed himself via his repulsor beams, and landed peacefully on the ground, catching one of the watches in the process.

Spidey looked up to see the figure of Doc Ock standing right dead smack in front of him. In his hands was the second watch and in one of his robot limbs, was the Tesseract.

"Peter Parker…" Otto muttered, "It has certainly been awhile since I last saw."

"Otto." Peter replied, "Under new management I see."

"What can I say?" Otto shrugged, "Hydra pays well."

Suddenly, the Tesseract began to glow and hum slightly catching both Otto's and Peter's attention.

"That's new…" Otto muttered

The Tesseract then opened a portal on the far side of the room the two rivals were standing in, and immediately began to suck them in.

Cap, Iron Man (now in his armor), Logan, and Fury all entered the room to see what was happening.

"Guys!" Spidey shouted, as he and Otto were sucked in, "Hhheeeeelllllllpppp!"

"SPIDER-MAN!" Cap shouted, but it was too late. Spider-Man and Doc Ock were both sucked into the portal, taking the two watches, and the Tesseract wit them. The portal then immediately closed upon sucking the two in.

Osborn and Connors just to witness what had happened, both shocked at what happened.

Fury's face remained neutral until he bolted around and two the three Avengers behind him.

"I want every asset we have from New York to Shanghai, every superhero, and agent looking for Spider-Man at once!" he shouted before leaving

"MJ isn't gonna like this." Stark muttered
