Peter Parker watched as Strange performed the spell and to his shock he saw the world disappear around them and found himself in a void with the magical man.
"Listen kid, the universe is ripping itself apart. You did a good thing saving those people when you could, but you can't be here any longer. I'm sorry the spell was too strong, for it to stop….Peter Parker can't be in the world any longer." Strange said to Peter sadly.
Peter nodded in understanding, letting out a few tears. "So what now, do I need to… die?" he asked his friend.
Strange felt so much guilt and emotion as he heard that and coming from Peter it hurt even more than it normally would. "No I can send you to another universe the spell was tailored to you in THIS universe, but it's different from ours in a lot of ways." he said to Peter as he didn't know a lot of what he did sometimes. "It's the only alternative I can do humanly possible-"
"I'll take it from here wizard." a voice said surprising them as they saw a familiar smug face.
"Mr. Stark!/You son of a bitch." Peter and Strange said respectively as they saw the man in the suit he died in.
"I hate our dimension sometimes, ok lay it on us who's looking out for the kid?" Strange asked as Tony being here meant there was a higher power at play.
"No spoilers." Tony said as Strange looked like he wanted to flip him off "anyway I need you to do something I have a message from this higher power." he said whispering something to Strange who disappeared for a moment.
"Mr Stark I'm so sorry." Peter said lowering his head in shame.
"Kid no apologies you made mistakes you stood your ground and you owned up to everything that was and wasn't your fault and hey you saved three worlds kid, you got me beat." Tony said as he was both saddened and proud to see Peter face the challenges he did.
"So how are you here?" Peter asked him curiously.
"Let's just say you have someone looking out for you and the other… yous." Tony said to him simply.
Peter was a little confused till Strange came back.
"Ok you ass, what now?" Strange asked as he got what the man requested as he was only doing it for Peter.
"Now I prepare him." Tony said holding up his hands revealing the infinity stones "apparently these work in death to." he said with a smile as Strange looked like he wanted to strangle him "Peter, where you're going, is advanced more advanced than our race and with aliens and it needs a hero I truly believe you are that hero and no second guessing this time believe in YOU, not someone else, believe in Spider-man and Peter Parker cause that is who I believe in." he said to him with a smile as the kid teared up.
Strange scoffed in amusement at Tony not out of disrespect for Peter, but because he believed in the same thing as Peter made a sacrifice many wouldn't have the strength to.
Tony snapped his fingers and a familiar ship appeared "this ship belongs to that moron we met on Titan, I made a replica and added my own personal flare, you'll have a lot of materials on board." he said to him simply "give him the thing." he said snapping his fingers as Peter's suit was now repaired.
Strange held up his hand as a small black dot touched Peter and spread around his suit.
"That's called a symbiote it's an organism that feeds off the host but in your case their will be true symbiosis and it'll increase your powers you'll have and develop powers naturally sorta like that other Peter and develop your own webs, but keep the suits web shooters never know when you'll need taser webs." Tony said as Peter's suit was now black and white "Karen is still there by the way and try to dress for the occasion." he said as Strange rolled his eyes as Tony talked about fashion.
"So a ship and a new suit anything else?" Peter asked him curiously.
"Yes." Tony said to him as he snapped his fingers and Peter's suit now had circular marks on his hands as well as his feet like his iron spider suit "the symbiote can also take in certain things so the user can use it, I just gave you my repulser and arc reactor tech." he said as Peter looked shocked "web swinging is good and all, but you'll need more firepower." he said knowingly "and Peter I need to be honest with you in this universe…you will have to kill." he said seeing the shock on Peter's face "I am so amazed at how pure you have been able to keep your soul, but Peter I gave you instant kill for a reason." he said as the chitauri was one example on itself.
"Now you're asking too much it's one thing to kill animals like those freaks of nature from the war, but for him to kill people, we just dealt with a problem cause he save people." Strange said to him as he was pissing him off.
"And because of that he now suffers, listen kid taking a life is never easy, but sometimes it's necessary." Tony said hating he had to do this.
Peter bitterly nodded to him.
"Now get in the ship I may be sending you to this universe, but I have zero fucking clue where you'll end up." Tony said as Strange just gave him a flat look.
Peter got on board the ship seeing how clean it was and saw the Stark tech on it mixed with advanced alien technology.
"Will he be alright?" Strange asked as while the kid could handle himself, he now worried for him.
"He'll be fine." Tony said with certainty.
(?)
'Interesting.' a large biomechanical being thought as it saw an advanced ship in the water, it probed the mind of it's only passenger who was unconscious 'a different dimensional being, vast intellect, truly untapped potential, unknown technology, unknown energy, symbiotic bond to polymorphic goo, low life span.' it thought as it was curious about something as while it was well hidden the being was up to date with what was happening in the galaxy as an Asari ship crashed mere days ago 'retrieve Asari and Prothean remains.' it thought as it kept the remains of the Protheans as it believed that the species had more merit 'above ground needed to perform action.' it thought rising to the surface and hacked into the ship removing Peter 'symbiote assistance noted.' it thought as the symbiote consumed the bones while altering Peter's genetics expanding his lifespan 'mentality stable, much trauma.' it thought seeing Peter's life of pain 'desire to kill unknown/undetermined, predatory dna failure to comprehend.' it thought as Peter had similar spider traits to the rachni and they were carnivores and killed mercilessly, it didn't make much sense as to how Peter lacked a desire to kill 'minor anxiety alteration, resulting in more stability to Peter Parker.' it thought calming Peter down of his nerves and guilt 'analysis and alterations complete, possible weapon against reapers…possibly given Peter Parker's memories and Reaper harvest history results are inconclusive.' it thought as there was no way to measure both him and them 'implantation of minor galaxy knowledge and knowledge of earth and some of other citadel species as no desire to over process brain also engaging autopilot to neutral system.' it thought sending Peter away with no recollection of today's events as it gave him need knowledge as it did track many of the species that landed here or used other means to be kept aware.
(few hours later)
Peter had a small headache as he didn't know or understand why his head hurt but he assumed it had something to do with his arrival as he had a large understanding of this universe and some of the major races and science.
(few days later)
"Tony has a weird sense of humor." Peter said as he was looking into earth and saw apparently, he had a life and he made sure to check to see if there was any chance this was a universe copy, but he found no traces whatsoever and there were certain things about his record that screamed it was touched by Tony Stark.
"I believe he made it in order to cover certain properties about you." Karen said to him simply "he put you in the N7 program and a graduate as he may believe your skills and service in the war fought on earth truly had an impact and it could cover your abilities as it says you are an infiltration and combat specialist." she said to him simply.
Peter didn't like lying but this was his new life and it was built on certain things he had done, so he would accept it.
"A few destinations we have of choice are Omega and the Citadel." Karen said as Peter asked her for options on where they should go "humans are already on the Citadel and you wouldn't get anyones notice as you could slip into the facility quite easily with your stealth suit and the ship's ability to shrink." she said as Tony added that part himself when giving Peter the ship.
"And Omega?" Peter asked curiously.
"A crime den which I'm sure you'd wish to fix but there is no benefit to you going there." Karen said to him with a little force in her voice.
"What about bounty hunting?" Peter asked as being a hero was not as easy as back home and he wasn't sure he was ready to go back to earth just yet "bringing people to justice sounds as good as any job." he said as that was true and it would help him get credits which was galactic currency.
Karen couldn't refute that as Omega was a den for criminals "Omega is home to many gangs such as the Blue Suns, Blood Pack, and Eclipse." she said showing him a very long list of people from each gang.
"Set coordinates and pick biggest and closest pays." Peter said not wanting to carry a prisoner for too long.
(3 days later)
'Not gonna lie this has been a little disappointing.' Peter thought to himself as besides the Krogan and Asari, he hadn't gotten any real action fighting the other races not being much of a challenge, he had made 300,000 credits in that span of time as a lot of people had a lot of problems with certain people, he felt slightly guilty bringing someone to their death, but after hearing some crimes he saw that the person had it coming.
Peter had gotten a good sense of the place as there were many types of people here and there was one person running Omega an Asari named Aria and she had many connections and basically kept this place in check, he had to admit the woman was very powerful.
"Peter I have found something odd in the bounty list." Karen said to him over the com in his mask.
"What's up?" Peter asked as if it caught her attention it must be something.
"Human bounty, subject known as Jack, her crimes are mostly toward Cerberus and other criminals, but I believe the nature of her crimes speaks more to her story." Karen said to him as he pulled up Jack's file.
"Bounty by Cerberus and former?" Peter said seeing there were past bounties Karen was able to pull up seeing they disappeared almost as quickly as they reappeared or that the people who made it died "a lot of these couldn't have been her, what are you thinking rogue escaped patient from illegal shadow site." he asked as he wasn't blind to the things such as Hydra and the government that wanted powered individuals.
"That seems more than likely." Karen said as Cerberus was always involved with Jack and she had no prior history with anything as far as Karen could find.
(few days later)
'This is not how I saw my day going.' Peter thought as in his search for Jack he found her but someone else had beaten him to the punch as Blue Suns were here and not just any Blue Suns the main leader himself Vido 'a lot of bounties on him.' he thought to himself as he followed them to a fortress on a desolate planet 'fuck.' he thought to himself seeing a someone scouting the building, he approached the man and webbed him.
"What the fuck is this!?" the man said in frustration.
"Alright talk who are you and why are you here?" Peter said simply.
"You're not Blue Suns are you, fuck it my name is Zaeed, I'm hunting down Vido I owe that bastard a lot for what he did to me." Zaeed said to him as he was literally pinned and this guy may have also been after the Blue Suns.
Peter could tell he was telling the truth and he looked up Zaeed as he was a mercenary for hire 'no actual crimes at least real ones I can find.' he thought thinking the man kept hidden and knew how to do his job "I'll cut you a deal, you help me rescue someone and you get Vido." he said as there were 20 guys there with Vido.
"Done." Zaeed said seeing no downside "what you carrying?" he asked seeing only a Kovalyov Assault Rifle.
Peter decided to show off and made his spider armor legs appear and raise his hand which began to spark as he developed a bio-electric attack he dubbed venom blast, and he raised his hand firing a repulsor blast and flew a few feet in the air.
Zaeed was speechless "fuck me." he said thinking killing Vido would be easy now.
(few minutes later)
"Best thing about bases on planets with air, the vents are always accessible." Peter said as space bases were sealed tight to prevent breaches and leaks in the air supply.
Zaeed took that into consideration as he didn't know that as most bases one simply had to go through the front door as a lot were in space and those were usually the only openings.
They both made it into the vents and crawled silently till they spotted the men and Vido.
"Jack you are gonna make me a very nice penny." Vido said with a smirk "don't even try using your bionics had to pay a rogue asari doctor a lot of coin for a drug to mess with biotics." he said to her.
"Keep talking ass, cause when I get out of here I'm gonna break your fucking teeth." Jack said in anger.
Peter looked at Zaeed who shrugged.
"Peter biotics are both mental as they are physical. The drug he used must be a form of muscle relaxer and/or stimulant to decrease the part of the brain using biotics." Karen said to him simply.
Peter silently asked her to look up the drugs that could achieve this and he learned it was made on Thessia the Asari home planet 'must be like tranquilizers and Asari keep it to themselves.' he thought as Asari must have kept it to themselves for a myriad of reasons.
"Got a plan." Zaeed asked him wondering if he did in fact have a plan.
Peter thought to himself 'with instant kill I can kill four of them easy, then dual repulsor blast for another two and maybe a grenade or two for the others.' he thought as that'd take out a little over half, he added Zaeed and Jack to the white list for instant kill.
Zaeed watched as Peter signaled he was about to make his move and was shocked to see him smash a guy's head into the ground making him unconscious 'oh please don't tell me I got a pansy ass-whoa!' he thought seeing the blades from his back stab four in the neck and then saw him fire a blast from both hands taking two guys out 'my turn.' he thought as he saw Peter throw some grenades which he took it upon himself to fire upon the grenades and killed three people.
"Zaeed!" Vido said in shock wondering who he was with.
Peter tossed another grenade killing four more people.
"Somebody kill them!" Vido said in anger to his six remaining men.
They all fired upon Zaeed and Peter who hid behind a crate.
"So any more tricks you got?" Zaeed asked as they were pinned.
Peter looked at him and raised his hand up still looking at Zaeed and fired a web which went directly into the gun's barrel and when the person tried firing the gun overheated and blew up like a grenade sending him and the three nearby to the ground.
"That was a damn nice shot!" Zaeed said impressed by his skill as he shot the four men on the ground leaving two more men and Vido.
"Hey kid in red, you Blood Pack?" Vido asked as everyone aimed their guns at each other.
"Freelance." Peter said simply.
"I'll pay you 20,000 credits right now if you let me go, kill him, and join me right now I clearly need new and better men." Vido said as Peter was to impressive and clearly had impressive tech.
"Pay now and you got a deal." Peter said activating his omni tool and pointed his free hand at Zaeed's head.
"You son of a bitch!" Zaeed said as he couldn't move as he knew how fast Peter was.
"Guess your muscle ain't so loyal Zaeed, I mean how much were you paying him to kill me." Vido said laughing arrogantly.
"Pay up now or I kill all of you." Peter said to Vido.
"Fine and here as a bonus I'll give you 10,000 extra for these idiots." Vido said looking at the corpses.
Peter smiled seeing 30,000 credits "perfect." he said then firing his repulsors at the two men beside Vido.
"I just paid you!" Vido said in shock before he was webbed to a wall.
"Yeah well I lied." Peter said as he looked to Zaeed "sorry thought it would be fun to rob this idiot." he said as he saw how stunned Zaeed was.
"Kid that was fucking beautiful." Zaeed said to him with a genuine smile "now how to kill this fucker." he said with a grin looking at a nervous Vido.
"You could let me kill him." Jack said as she was merely watching to see who the victor was and to buy herself some time.
"Sorry kid, but I have been dying to do this for years." Zaeed said with a chuckle as he aimed a gun at Vido's head.
"I may have a better idea." Peter said lowering Zaeed's weapon "the Blood Pack and Eclipse want him dead the most and have the highest paying bounties and they all hate each other." he said with a smile as Zaeed followed his train of thought.
"Sell him to both idiots drop him off at a neutral location, they all think the other is trying to rob them." Zaeed said as no matter what Vido would end up dead 'may need to attach an explosive to him.' he thought as Vido was an eel and he wanted to be sure he was dead for good.
"Yep Blood Pack is offering 60,000 credits, while Eclipse is offering 50,000." Peter said to him.
"Money and vengeance I love today." Zaeed said to him.
"Hi." Peter said to Jack breaking her restraints.
"So now I'm your prisoner?" Jack asked her biotics still down.
"No, I merely have a proposition for you." Peter said as she looked curious.
Zaeed listened as he raided the base that Peter wanted to help her and was wondering if she'd join him "hey kid you got any more spots on this team of yours?" he asked as Peter seemed reliable and loyal, something he looked for especially after.
"Sure my ship holds a few people." Peter said as the rooms were very open and vast on his ship.
"What's in it for you?" Jack asked him wondering why her of all people.
"I think you get really screwed over and like to offer a helping hand." Peter said to her simply.
Zaeed chuckled as Peter was very blunt he'd give him that.
"Can't trust a guy in a mask." Jack said as she liked to see the faces of people,
Peter had the symbiote retract from his face.
"Are those…nanobots?" Zaeed asked as those were advanced among any race.
Peter just nodded as it was the truth as he had the symbiote absorb nanobots and now the symbiote could replicate it's structure allowing him to make his spider legs and have his suits base functions and programing and tech.
"Huh a lot better looking than I thought." Jack said to him honestly.
"Yeah so I gotta ask cause we've been at this for a while why a spider and how do you move like one of those geth things." Zaeed asked curiously as he saw Peter stick to walls and thought it was some kinda special material in his suit.
"That's a long story, now lets go." Peter said as they went outside and he tossed out the ship which grew.
"You can shrink and carry your ship?" Jack asked thinking that was kinda cool.
"Nice for infiltration and smuggling." Zaeed said thinking about it carefully.
Peter just rolled his eyes as they then left.
(3 months later)
"Cheers you no good idiots." Zaeed said with a smile as they were drinking in their Citadel apartment as in the past three months with bounty hunting taking a few odd jobs, they made much in credits.
"Watch it old man, I can still kick your ass blindfolded." Jack said with a smile as she liked running with her crew as they had that honest and gruff honesty she liked.
"Hey let's just celebrate the fact we did another good job." Peter said with a smile.
"And the fact you made the fucking news again." Zaeed said as he turned on the TV which showed a Turian and an Asari on the news.
"Today we're here to report illegal shipping items that were apprehended by the individual who has dubbed himself Spider-man." the Turian said showing a picture of a card that said 'courtesy of your friendly neighborhood Spider-man'.
"Is it really a neighborhood?" Jack asked wondering if that was correct.
"Sounds better than galaxy or system." Peter said as he couldn't think of something better.
"This individual has been on the eye of many of the Citadel, let's go to these interviews." the Asari said as someone came up.
"This man deserves a damn medal for taking down these pieces of scum, Spider-man if you can hear this my name is Garrus Vakarian and I'd like to thank you on behalf of C-SEC." Garrus said to the camera.
"He fights good I kinda wanna take him on myself." a Krogan said to the camera with a smile.
"Spider-man has been a delight for the Citadel as he has stopped many crimes and has been a true hero, as his recent accomplishments are truly ones one must acknowledge." Tevos said as she brought up the hospital and a school.
"The fuck happened there?" Zaeed asked curiously.
"The hospital was being robbed for I don't know select drugs." Peter said as the citadel had a wide variety of drugs and many researchers who studdied certain material.
"And the school?" Jack asked wondering what happened there.
"At first it was a fire, but some Batarians were actually just kidnapping kids from the major systems of the Citadel, they were gonna do their usual thing like ransom or slaver crap." Peter said as he had to restrain himself from killing them in front of the children.
Jack and Zaeed scowled as they had standards and Batarians shitted all over those standards.
"But councilwoman Tevos, we know this man to be human, what does the human embassy have to say on this?" the Turian asked her.
"We have asked them if they are involved with Spider-man, but they have answered they have no knowledge to who he is." Tevos said to them as a recording was brought up.
"Spider-man is a truly incredible being, as not many can do what he does for other people and save lives that takes something truly special." Anderson said looking directly into the camera.
"You're loved congrats." Zaeed said with a chuckle taking a swig.
"Not really." Peter said changing the channel to a secure feed.
"Damn it Anderson do you know what this could mean for Earth we have a champion someone these species respect and none of it is going to us." Udina said to Anderson showing him files of Spider-man's actions on the Citadel.
"No, what you want is to exploit him." Anderson said as many were curious to Spider-man as he had strength that was above a Krogan and skills that made Asari commandos jealous.
"Of course especially his genetics Anderson, his suit may play a possible role, but his genetics could really boost our military." Udina said to him.
"Can you be cloned?" Zaeed said seeing a lot of freaky shit in his life.
"My blood is radioactive those idiots wouldn't be able to grow anything if it kills it first." Peter said as that was something he checked as his blood could beat most infections and was harmful to those due to radiation.
"Remember when those idiots fired irradiated rounds at him." Jack said to Zaeed as Peter took them and they did nothing to him at all and as they fired he kept walking to him.
"Fucking awesome." Zaeed said with a grin "so any new jobs come up?" he asked them as they could sit on their asses for months, but they all liked to be active.
Peter grabbed Zaeed's omni tool as he had more connections than him and Jack "nothing springs to mind right now." he said as nothing came up that paid enough or showed someone in need of saving.
"Hey hows that side business?" Jack asked as Peter started taking photos of Spider-man and selling them and they were selling like hot cakes.
Peter just shrugged.
(Citadel Council chambers)
"C-SEC is not getting much done with Spider-man around apparently the people are calling for him now." Sparatus said as with the new hero people saw someone else they could count on.
"It's not the first time someone has saved others that wasn't C-SEC." Valern said to them as many disputes happen on the Citadel and C-SEC wasn't always the ones to stop it.
"True and this man certainly is making a name for himself." Tevos said as she pulled up a picture "but perhaps we need a true judge of his character." she said off handedly.
"And who would that be?" Sparatus asked wondering who she had in mind.
"A justicar." Tevos said to them simply.
Both men were slightly alarmed as they knew how justicars operated and they were just below Spectres in terms of status.
"And how will she possibly track him or even interrogate him?" Valern asked her curious as to how a tracker was supposed to track with next to no information.
"Easy we send him to her." Tevos said getting more confused looks as she brought up a picture of Zaeed Massani.
(few days later)
"I'm sorry I think one of us is on some really powerful drugs, but you want us to go where?" Jack asked Zaeed curiously as he told them about a mission.
"We're being hired by Asari commandos to help in a war zone and they are paying top dollar as they know he works with me." Zaeed said, pointing to Peter.
"Last I checked only Aria knew that and she doesn't give that info lightly." Peter said to him as Aria was one of the only people that knew he worked with Zaeed.
"How much are we being paid and where the fuck is this place?" Jack asked as to go to a war zone Zaeed must've been being paid a lot.
"Some Asari settlement that got invaded by batarions or some gang I don't fucking care people need killing and we're being paid." Zaeed said to them.
(1 hour later)
"Who the fuck are we meeting Zaeed!" Jack asked as this place was having a storm and they had to land a mile away from the settlement and the wind was blowing shit away.
"I don't fucking know and damn it more of these fuckers!" Zaeed said in annoyance as they spotted a Blue Suns member "what the fuck is so special about an old ass Asari settlement!" as they killed many people in this mile.
"Could be they all wanted to settle down here!" Peter said as he found a lot of crates filled with supplies "they may have wanted to use the settlement for a bunch of reasons but mostly a new base!" he said to them.
"Well we still need to kill these fuckers, meet the contact, and see if there are survivors!" Zaeed said to them.
Peter was wondering where they could find the Asari people.
(1 hour later)
"Zaeed no offense, but I wanna fucking murder you for making the Blue Suns." Jack said in exhaustion as she dragged a Blue Suns human member who was unconscious.
"Get in line." Zaeed said to her as he wanted to do the same as the organization was shit, especially with Vido or him no longer running the show.
"Ok hold him still." Peter said giving him a nice shock courtesy of his stingers.
The Blue Suns shot up wide awake.
"Ok fuck nuts what's the deal, why the fuck are there a bunch of you assholes trying for this settlement!" Zaeed said in exhaustion.
"The commando biotics some of them get shipped here, we thought if we could commandeer them we'd be able to get above the other gangs then everyone found out about them!" the gang member said raising his hands in surrender.
"Commando biotics shit I wanna rob this place now." Zaeed said with a look.
"How good are commando biotics?" Peter asked him.
"Basically like the ones inside of me." Jack said as she could go toe to toe with a commando easy.
"Yeah, I suggest we swipe some they are apparently built for a lot kid." Zaeed said to him as commando biotics were always top of the line.
"Think about Peter top-of-the-line biotics." Jack said as she was wondering if there was anything they could use them for to upgrade her biotics.
Peter just smiled "now I want information." he said as this was a colony and besides the blood bath outside he had yet to see any Asari in the colony.
"They are hiding no one went after them since it's a feud outside, but a Krogan Blood Pack member was heard heading that way, he heard there was some special Asari here and wanted to kill her." the Blue Suns member said to him.
"Whoever this Asari is probably is guarding the people might be a commando." Zaeed said as that was the only type he knew of that qualified as special Asari.
"I can handle the Krogan, how many of these idiots are left?" Peter said to them.
Zaeed used his radar "30 of these idiots left." he said as they all groaned "11 blood pack, 6 Blue Suns, and 13 Eclipse." he said as he was able to pin them all.
"I'll take the Eclipse they have Asari there anyway." Jack said liking a biotic fight.
"I handle the last of the morons from my old gang." Zaeed said thinking it be quick and he could then help Jack.
"Leaving me with an angry Krogan and the rest of his Blood Pack." Peter said as he drew the short straw.
(few minutes later)
"You know I think there is a song about a spider and the damn rain." Peter said remembering the child nursery rhyme as he saw a raging river and a bridge that was soaked to the bone by said river 'my powers will keep me attached.' he thought as he walked normally and heard the Blood Pack in the distance 'better find these people.' he thought as he looked in the buildings and soon found the Asari.
Peter's spider-sense went into overdrive as he looked at the source a woman in a skin-tight red one-piece body suit.
"Who are you?" the woman asked him.
"Hi, I'm Spider-man we were hired to come here and assist this colony." Peter said to her.
"I am Samara, an Asari justicar, I shall warn you if you harm any of these people I will hunt you down and kill you painfully." Samara said in a calm fashion.
Peter could tell she was serious "Blood Pack members are coming this way and that bridge is the only way out, can they move out." he said not wanting to be trapped on this side as they had no means of escape.
Samara looked at them and proceeded to nod.
(few minutes later)
"You fight well and are very equipped." Samara said as she was impressed he was built for speed and strength.
"Thanks." Peter said throwing bodies into the river "I was positive there was a Krogan." he said hearing a roar in the distance earlier.
"Perhaps he fled." Samara said as a cowardly Krogan was rare, but still possible.
"How many people are left?" Peter asked curiously.
"A few children and parents." Samara said as the civilians went last to keep them safe from the conflict.
Peter and Samara went to retrieve them.
Peter watched as Samara went first over the bridge while he waited with a small group of children and their parents, he saw Samara send him a signal to cross with them, but he stopped when an explosion in the water went off cracking the bridge.
"Where do you think you're going." a Blood Pack Krogan said to him "ah don't even think about it I have explosives planted on this bridge." he said to them.
Peter's spider sense felt them "what do you want?" he asked him.
"I came to fight and kill the justicar, but now I see I landed bigger prey, the Spider-man." the Krogan said to him "as strong as a Krogan, as fast and skilled as an Asari commando, and smarter than a Salarian." he said as that was good game.
"Fine let them go and you get to face me." Peter said as their lives were more important.
"No." the Krogan said as he charged Peter.
Samara couldn't move as if she did he'd detonate the bombs.
Peter hated dealing with Krogan as after fighting Conners fighting the reptile species was much the same as they had to thick skin for him to pierce properly.
All watched as Peter destroyed the Krogan in combat and soon winced as Peter grabbed him by his tail and began slamming him into the bridge.
"You're not human." the now bloody Krogan said with a grin "well this was fun would've liked it if I won, but." he said holding the detonator and activated it.
Peter felt time slow and acted quickly webbing the Asari and sent them sliding down the bridge.
Samara felt the same as Peter as time slowed down and as she used her biotics to pull the Asari a small child fell out of Peter's web and her grasp.
"No!" an Asari parent said as her daughter fell as the bombs went off.
Peter and the girl fell back into the river as the bridge gave way.
(next day)
"I apologize for your friend." Samara said as she met Jack and Zaeed.
"Fuck you." Jack said slowly and calmly "he's to dumb to die like this." she said to her with real steel in her voice.
"Kid's right that bastard will survive anything just you wait." Zaeed said to her.
Samara was impressed by the faith of their comrade "may I ask why he is so selfless?" she asked them.
"He's not selfless he's noble, he's a leader and someone you can put your faith in, he believes in others and when you live to his expectations you find yourself liking yourself even more, he sees the best in people." Jack said to her as Peter gave her his trust and she wanted to honor that and she never regretted it.
"He helped me fix my life." Zaeed said as Peter gave him his sight back as he made him an artificial eye to replace his blind one, he helped him find some semblance of normalcy and he couldn't thank him enough.
Samara didn't need to be an Asari to feel all the positive emotions directed toward their leader coming off of them.
They were all brought out of their thoughts when they heard cheers and ran to see Peter holding the child he went to save when the bridge collapsed.
(1 hour later)
"Let's get the fuck outta here now." Zaeed said as they got the commando biotics, got paid, and no one died.
"Yeah we did our share, now lets go." Jack said as they got what they wanted and were paid their due.
Peter nodded and just as they were about to leave a certain justicar stopped them.
"Spider-man I'd like you to wait." Samara said to him as she placed down a small device and soon a hologram of Tevos appeared.
"Oh fuck me." Zaeed said as they got the attention of the council.
"Greetings Spider-man thank you for what you did for this settlement." Tevos said gratefully "I am acting on behalf of myself and other counselors and we'd like to offer you a job at C-SEC." she said to him.
"They just want to use him as a mascot cause he does their job so much better." Jack said as that was the truth, as Peter was definitely the better option.
"Not inaccurate we wish to allow you more freedom and if possible make you a Spectre." Tevos said as Spider-man opened up many opportunities for them.
"Say yes kid for the love of god say yes, with Spectre status you get top quality gear." Zaeed said as Spectres got away with a lot and had access to a lot more.
Peter had heard of Spectre's and it sounded like being an Avenger but next level given it meant defending the galaxy.
(1 week later)
"This is outrageous, Spider-man is a human, and you're using him for your own gain." Udina said as the Citadel made it public Spider-man was working with C-SEC and was nominated by the council to be a Spectre, but it would depend on his success rate.
"Spider-man has chosen to work with C-SEC chancellor which last I checked means that he does answer to us and in the short amount of time of his working with us, he has stopped many crimes." Tevos said to him.
"Spider-man has proven his mettle Udina and works effectively and well within the lines of the rules implied here…minus the few special permissions he's been given." Sparatus said as they had to give him certain concessions with him unique method of travel and style, but those were minor and easily forgiven as he did less property damage than the crimes would've caused.
"Are we sure he's human I must say I have talked to the young man personally and his intellect is well above any of the humans I have talked too." Valern said as he met the man at C-SEC wanting a closer inspection and his intellect was quite a surprise to him.
"Then will the council at least tell me his identity?" Udina asked/demanded them.
"He asked that his identity not be revealed at this time." Tevos said as she found it odd for the mask, but she respected his privacy.
(with Zaeed)
"Great you bring another woman into the group and she wants to kill me." Zaeed said as he was looking at Samara who was meditating.
"How the fuck is this my fault." Peter asked him simply as he felt no guilt as Zaeed hit on her and struck out.
"I don't know Mr 'I have a pure mind', you fucking tell me!" Zaeed said as after Tevos made her offer and Peter accepted Samara was curious and asked to venture into Peter's mind, Peter thought it be an exciting experience and after a promise from Samara to keep anything related to his identity and former life private, they learned that Samara had a certain reaction to Peter's mind as apparently the Asari rarely found people like Peter as they were known as pure beings to the Asari those who had truly noble minds, spirits, and souls
"Peter is some of the very select few as it is people like him that have shaped the code of the justicar." Samara said as the justicar laws/rules were developed by people like Peter as Asari did many things with beings like him.
"Great so another person on the team, fan-fucking-tastic." Zaeed said as while a justicar was useful, he liked the dynamic they had 'wonder how Jack is taking it.' he thought as he saw how Jack was with people as he was the same way in certain ways, but with Peter instead of being tense, she was always at ease and relaxed, he always assumed Peter wormed his way into the small biotic girl's heart.
(few weeks later)
"Why are we letting him tinker with the commando biotics again?" Jack asked as they were on the ship watching Peter tinker.
"Because the kid has some next-level tech and in case you forgot, he checked your biotics and gave it a slight tune up." Zaeed said as that was the simple version as Peter wanted to study biotics more closely before retrofitting himself and Zaeed couldn't agree more as after he finished with Jack he did his and he had to admit his biotics never ran more smoothly.
"I am curious to see how he can improve upon biotics." Samara said as she had heard from the others what Peter had done and was curious to see if he could increase her own biotic might.
"Current simulations show an increase in element zero in the biotics and a 10% decrease in any possible strain one may suffer from." Karen said to them simply.
Samara and Jack had to admit that any decrease on the strain biotics bought would be welcome.
"I am still unused to the AI." Samara said to them as AI were considered illegal and yet this one seemed more living than the rest and even some people.
"Her name is Karen and fuck the law, she's saved our asses more times than I can count." Jack said with a heated glare as she knew how dangerous AI's were but Karen proved herself as a friend to them.
"She's right code she may be, but she's still a member of this crew." Zaeed said to Samara.
Samara guessed she would need to make her own opinion as the AI hadn't stunted any of their movements or made any attempts to kill them.
(with Peter)
Peter saw the potential for biotics but he also saw that there were things that could be fixed and improved as he learned from Mr Stark, he remembered when he told him about injecting devices into his body so his armor could come to him, then made armor that could form from nanobots, so he wanted to see if there was any way he could improve that for Jack, Zaeed, and Samara.
Karen was impressed by Peter's success with the biotics as she ran all the numbers and his math was accurate and sound and so was his science for the species as he studied and learned the biology to accurately accommodate for certain things in species.
'Ok let's take a look at Jack's biotics.' Peter thought as Jack's biotics were both in-depth and powerful to the point where it was all evened out and her body was brought to its maximum biotic potential 'now Samara.' he thought as Samara let him do a scan 'while Jack's are attuned to her very being, Samara's are tested and set to the maximum.' he thought as Asari justicar are given special biotics that are even more powerful than the commando types.
Peter stared at every part and every wire of his teams biotics seeing if there was a way to improve or change them 'I need better material.' he thought as the fabricator could make anything, he needed to input the design and make the materials.
"I'll run scans on the minerals we know of and have and any we come across." Karen said to him as each species reacted differently and the body itself played a factor to what it could handle.
(year and a half later)
"Ugh we really need a name." Jack said as she read on her omni tool of 'Spider-man and his amazing friends'.
"Ok I get you do a lot of cool shit and basically started this shit, but amazing friends are you fucking with me." Jaeed said as that sounded beyond dumb as their group never had an official name before, but ever since Spider-man was seeing with 'helpers' people decided to come up with their own nicknames.
"The title…'amazing friend' does lack luster." Samara said as she did have pride in herself.
"She even gets it." Jack said as while Samara was emotionally and spiritually distant she became a real part of this team.
Peter had been thinking about that for a while "we're the Avengers." he said to them getting certain looks.
"At least it sounds cool." Jack said as Zaeed nodded.
"Whom are we avenging?" Samara asked curiously.
"I think everyone that gets screwed over." Peter said as he showed them a few pictures.
Zaeed smiled as he saw a picture of him and Peter messing with Vido before they left him for the three gang shit show and another where, he and Peter saved some captured alliance from Batarian slavers.
Jack smiled when she saw hers as she saw biotic children she saved along with Peter, they didn't care they didn't get paid as those people had it coming and whenever she heard of children with biotics being experimented on, she made it her personal mission to rescue the children no matter the race and kill the people who kidnapped them.
Samara saw more pictures than the others as being here expanded her range from Asari space as she was able to help more people under Peter's command and as she saw a picture of the day she made her oath(a picture Zaeed used to tease Peter often) she never regretted it as under Peter's command it felt much better.
"Also I made us new outfits." Peter said handing them each a box.
Jack opened hers first and saw a studded black leather biker jacket, white revealing shirt, and military cargo pants, it was certain a step up from her punk outfit and it allowed her to keep her natural awesome look.
Zaeed opened his and saw it was a replica of his armor, but more red and flame like design almost similar to the Blood Pack 'hmmm incendiary ammo.' he thought as Peter definetely knew his style which was functional and dangerous.
Samara opened hers and saw a replica of her outfit, but it was black and gold instead of her usual red 'hmmm.' she thought touching her necklace and saw it switch colors to match her usual outfit 'black for stealth and red for public.' she thought as red was her favorite colot and Peter gave her an outfit like Zaeed's fashionable, functional, and something she was comfortable wearing.
"So Peter what are you changing to?" Jack asked as Peter had many outfits as for the past few years he had stuck to a red and black suit with a giant gold spider.
Peter smiled as he took on the Iron Spider look.
The team approved, but soon they all saw the Avengers symbol on their outfits, Zaeed saw his was on his left shoulder pad, Jack saw it on the back of her jacket, and Samara had it on the back of her outfit, Peter turned around and showed them his was located at the center of his spider design on his back and a smaller one on his right peck.
(1 month later)
"Why in the name of fucking christ are we doing this again?" Peter said feeling this was even more risk than any mission they have taken before.
"The Quarians are paying top dollar for this." Zaeed said as this was technically a bounty mission as the job was technically to steal and acquire Geth tech and he saw it as an opportune job given Peter was well versed in technology.
"You mentioned that I moved like a Geth when we first met, I thought they didn't leave the veil?" Peter asked him.
"They don't but Quarians send people down there to retrieve footage and data and tech, not many make it back and they pay cheap for footage." Zaeed said to him as he had seen the footage as many bounty hunters did.
"So who should go?" Jack said as this mission seemed best as a hit and run.
"I should go solo, I can carry the ship and be in and out if needed." Peter said as his skills of infiltration were unmatched.
"Are you sure that is wise, if the Geth find you it will be like alerting a hive mind." Samara said to him.
Peter just nodded "I'll also have Karen in my suit, may help with my situation given she is also a AI." he said as they nodded at that.
(3 days later)
'I swear I hate these things.' Peter thought as he made it to the Quarian homeworld and found a base of Geth, he cased the timing and the shifts of all the Geth on the first day, sent in a spider-bot to survey the vents and internal systems the second, and now on the third he was hacking into their systems very delicately as a minor off keystroke would alert them 'so glad I keep changing terminals.' he thought as he never stayed at the same one to long as he didn't want to raise flags for an active panel 'so far all I see is cultural stuff for Quarians and history files.' he thought as he felt sadness for the AI when he found a certain video.
"Do you believe I have a soul Peter?" Karen asked him genuinely.
"Karen…you absolutely have a soul, there is no doubt in my mind." Peter said to her with a smile.
"Interesting." a voice said making its presence known as Peter spun around and shot web fluid at…a very old Geth as it looked to have some wear and tear.
"I thought Geth didn't speak?" Peter asked it curiously.
"Incorrect as we speak our native 'language' we did not see the benefit of speaking in a language others commonly understood." the Geth said to him.
"Ok, this is a surprise." Peter said removing the webbing restraining it as he didn't want to be seen as a threat as Karen was often eager to use instant kill the moment he met her.
"Query the suit you are wearing is advanced and my scanners can not scan it properly, but I am detecting similar data to our own do you possess artificial intelligence in your systems?" the Geth asked him curiously.
"Yes, her name is Karen and she's my friend." Peter said firmly not hearing the AI joy when she let her thanks be known.
"May I ask another inquiry?" the Geth asked him curiously and almost sounded quick to it and pleading "you answered…Karen." he said to him as if the name was in a foreign language "that she indeed had a soul, how did you come to this conclusion?" he asked Peter.
"A soul is not something one describe easily, but I'll try my belief in a soul is doing the right thing and making a choice what happened for the Geth years ago is wrong and no one can say if what happened was wrong our right it's not our place, but I think it was wrong when someone should lose their life merely for asking if they are alive, I myself have lost people when I simply couldn't make the proper decision and tried to do things the easy way and the end result was I lost someone." Peter said as he was speaking about the war and up to the point of him leaving his world.
"This answer was…beneficial thank you." the Geth said to him.
"Can I ask if you're going to kill me cause that seems like a real concern right now?" Peter asked him simply.
"Unnecessary." the Geth said to him.
(next day)
Peter and the Geth he dubbed Legion given the 'we' and 'one of many' responses had been discussing certain things and questions the other had.
Peter was amazed by the collection of information they had given they barely ventured through the veil, but learned the previous people who came and attacked the Geth left their omni tools so it made sense they were up to date.
"Your current projects are quite advance." Legion said as he analyzed Peter's work.
Peter nodded as Legion and him were going many topics and that later went into certain projects Peter was working on "can I ask a question?" he asked getting a nod "what are you made of I mean this unit here is seemingly made of actual metal while some Geth's insides fry themselves or liquidate themselves into a dissolving fluid?" he asked as he was always wondering what the Geth were made of.
"A hard like artificial fluid that hardens and shares similar dexterity with metals, when exposed to the unique coolant chemical fluid we process in our shells it melts, this model is as you believe the first generation of Geth." Legion said to him.
"Peter I have noticed that the Geth 'metal' may have properties you are searching for in your biotics research." Karen said getting their attention.
"Analyzing running simulation…error signs of compatibility are shown biological profiles needed for further study." Legion said running a simulation with.
(3 days later)
Peter and Legion worked tirelessly on his biotic research and Legion was impressed and 'happy' about the work as it provided a certain challenge, both of them were able to make leaps and bounds with the biotics.
"New synthetic metal established do you desire more for fabricator?" Legion asked as Peter gave him a base model blueprint in order for him to make self repair to his unit.
"That would perfect thanks, so how do the new biotics look."
"Running simulation for biotics verision 5.7 based on current scans provided on subjects known as Jack, Samara, and Spider-man." Legion said as it ran a simulation "subjects known as Jack and Samara show high compatibility rates subject known as Jack has 98% percent chance of success, Samara 98.5%, Spider-man shows 100% compatibility." he said to him.
Peter was a little curious to that response "I'm 100% compatible?" he asked him curiously.
"Ran scans due to your unique genetics you are one that can fit any if not all biotics." Legion said to him.
"How well develop are my genetics?" Peter asked curiously never truly seeing how much of human and spider he was.
"Scanning….analysis complete Spider-man genetics composed of Human, Asari, Prothean all genetics enhanced by 'Spider' Dna structure." Legion said as Peter was carrying 3 genetic races that were all enhanced by his spider powers which genetically altered him.
"Wait back up how can I be part Asari they're mono gendered but are female in form and I'm positive the Protheans are dead, how can I be these species?" Peter asked him curiously as it seemed impossible and wondered if Mr Stark had anything to do with this when he sent him here.
"Unknown but the results do not lie and aren't inaccurate, we also see no genetic mutations within you not accounting your spider traits your body seems to have developed prime material making you naturally accustomed to various things any of the one species you are made of." Legion said to him.
"Ok good to know." Peter said wondering if he could try other species foods "how are the biotics looking." he said changing subject.
"Readings optimal and we have taken liberty to chose classes for your new biotics." Legion said to him.
Peter smiled as he saw the design for biotics and saw a lot of them while vast had many similarities, he thought if he was going to get them, they'd need to be some variety.
"Class choices for Spider-man: Adept, Engineer, Vanguard, and Infiltraitor, Samara: Adept, Vanguard, Sentinel, and Infiltraitor, Jack: Adept, Vanguard, Soldier, and Sentinel."
Peter thought this was going to be awesome when he got back "oh did you finish that book?" he asked him curiously as Peter told him to make a downloadable book and asked for certain non harmful footage to show people mostly the Quarians that the Geth were merely misunderstood.
"Yes, but Peter be weary we did infact add the Heretics to this." Legion said as certain Geth saw more appeal in violence and in seclusion from
Peter knew that'd be a bad point to add, but it did show the Geth were at least diverse.
(next day)
"You have got to be kidding me." Zaeed said to himself as Peter explained his week long excursion with the Geth. "Do you know how valuable you just became." he said as his genetic make up would open many doors especially given Prothean DNA was rare if not a near extinct resource geneticist desperately want as it was more advance than Asari DNA.
"Fuck that shit look at us!" Jack said as she now had an arsenal of new biotic abilities as while she loved what she could do she did think she could do better with other classes of biotics.
"This is quite the development." Samara said as Peter would now be even more under her watch as Asari saw the Protheans as highly as the galaxy did with their technology and now knowing Peter was perhaps the last despite his now 'hybrid' nature only further added to his purity.
"Hey can I ask why you don't want an upgrade?" Peter asked as Zaeed didn't get an upgrade merely cause he said no.
"I'm too old for that crap kid I'm fine with what I got now and all I need is some real good ammo." Zaeed said as he liked himself the way he was, but he did like to improve his arsenal of weapons.
(1 week later)
"Again Garrus." Peter said drinking some coffee or the equivalent to it.
"C'mon let me join your team let me join the Avengers seriously I'm sick of these idiots." Garrus said as he wanted to do real good and be a part of something bigger.
Peter had to think on this as while he did work for C-SEC he had to clear certain things as he only reported to the captain or if need be the Council and given Garrus was C-SEC it did make sense he could transfer him to his team "I'll think about it, but remember on the Citadel we go for wounds and capture kill is only last resort." he said as he knew Garrus' style and while it was like most Turians Garrus was a bit more precise and willing to do more damage, but had yet to cross any major lines
"I'm fine with that." Garrus said as it was slightly better than the C-SEC guidelines.
(1 month later)
"I got to say this is pretty much better than my old job, I get to make my own hours, I get to hunt down some scum, I don't have to deal with shit from my bullshit boss, and my new boss is a badass who really knows how to get shit done." Garrus said as he relaxed feeling fulfilled as he got to do more and act more on his instincts and not be restricted.
"Damn right I loved being paid to be a biotic bitch." Jack said as she actually did patrols with Peter not getting involved in the small stuff often helping kids and being on reserves for more of the Asari criminals.
"I love being paid to do nothing." Zaeed said to them as he loved working that involved him doing nothing as all he did was go to certain dives to drink and collect info reporting it to C-SEC and rarely being involved himself
"I like to assist where I can." Samara said as she was more wide variety as she helped on open cases and brought in criminals, but she also volenteered at the hospitals and helped others.
Peter smiled as he had felt at peace as he finally felt he lived up to being a hero and his team made him feel like he had a place in this universe.
(1 month later)
"Quarians are in an uproar." Samara said as it took time for people and others to read Legion's book and recorded events.
"Yeah some are asking if you are the voice of the Geth." Garrus said an amused smile.
"And some are demanding the Citadel hand you over." Jack said not liking those comments as the Quarians wanted more information on what he saw and experienced in their home world.
"Well all of them can fuck off, we don't surrender our own and if Peter wants to help or kill the Geth that's on him." Zaeed said with a cigarette in his mouth.
Peter had to admit he did in fact have options, but he was wondering if his involvement could bring peace or more violence.
(3 months later)
"Yikes looks like the Quarians are making themselves known." Garrus said as their current leaders were making their opinions known to the galaxy about how they wanted their relationship to the Geth, one wanted peace, one wanted control, and one wanted their destruction.
"Be glad their numbers are similar to the Batarians." Samara said as justicars rarely if ever got involved with politics and when she did she always wished the code involved killing politicians.
"Can I just say I'm glad no one knows where the fuck we all live." Jack said taking a swig of her drink.
"The apartment is in my name and no one knows who Spider-man is besides the inner circle minus a few people and to add to that no one has the balls to follow you lunatics." Peter said as they were very discrete for the most part here on the Citadel.
"I take being called a lunatic as a compliment." Zaeed said as Peter did have a point as Jack was feared for her biotic potential, Samara because she was a justicar, him for his mercenary status, when Garrus stopped by it was because he was C-SEC and no one second guessed him "how about Peter Parker how's he seem?" he asked curiously.
"Wallflower." Peter said as he got many groans for his joke.
(1 year later)
"It's been what 4 years." Jack said as she was hanging out with Zaeed.
"Yeah what about it?" Zaeed asked her curiously.
"You ever wonder where we'd be if we never met Peter?" Jack asked him curiously.
"I'd be dead in a ditch somewhere and you'd be on ice or dead as well." Zaeed said to her as that was the cold hard truth.
Jack had to admit that was probably true.
"I'd be bored, fired, or some other nonsense about now." Garrus said to them.
"I'd be doing whatever cause calls to me." Samara said as the justicar ways were both hard and loose.
"Hey can I ask what Peter's status with that Spectre candidacy is going?" Garrus asked curiously.
"It has always been in the damn wings, but to do it he has to reveal his identity and better for us if her waits we're fucking loaded and I'm not kidding the kid really knows how to get shit done." Zaeed said as they had 20 million credits as of now and he was glad Peter saved them on resources as he picked up ammo and stray guns from whatever rogue groups they fought and if they didn't sell the guns they kept them for the team.
"Where is Peter now?" Garrus asked them as while Peter did go on patrol he rarely left without telling someone or leaving a note somewhere.
(with Peter)
Peter sat alone in a bar on the Citadel drinking some Krogan booze, the bartender looking at him as if he was an enigma, which wasn't far from the truth, he was thinking to his time here ever since his arrival, he felt like he was living to his potential, but also felt a bit off as killing even after all he had done still phased him and he tortured himself into thinking that he could've avoided it, he was also thinking about his hybrid status as he had asked Samara about the Asari part of him wondering if he had any mental abilities or anything of that nature and asked about the Protheans and so far it all sounded mystical of what either species could do.
"You seem to be lost in thought." a woman with blonde hair said to him.
"You could say that." Peter said seeing she was alliance and thought it be best to watch his answers "you seem young for an alliance member." he said to her simply.
"They started taking younger for the Citadel projects and a friend of my father requested my assistance." the woman said to her.
"With what…unless it is classified." Peter said knowing the game as Zaeed said once Peter acted like a soldier and sometimes looked it, but he didn't carry himself like one or always display the air one would.
The woman saw he had an N7 hoodie on and decided he seemed it wasn't classified "you know about Spider-man?" she asked him simply getting a nod "well humanity sees him as a major asset, he's seen as a hero to most and is a major bargaining chip with other races, given his actions it could bolster humanity's image with what he's been doing, hell I even heard once that he is a Spectre candidate and all he has to do is say yes, do you know what this could mean Spectre's are the best and represent their worlds at their best, this could show everyone that humanity has what it takes, I mean look around you not everyone likes us or sees us in a good light especially the Turians." she said to him.
Peter had to concede to that notion as he asked Garrus about it a while back when he first joined given the team was full of humans and the Turians first meeting with the humans wasn't that great.
"The Turian councilor doesn't even like humanity, but he likes Spider-man saying that he appeals to a Turian sense of duty and honor that kinda thing, we need Spider-man for humanity to step forward and push past all the misconceived notions and lack of opinion with the other species." the woman said to him chugging her drink.
"I get that, but why are you here, you never explained your mission?" Peter asked her as she brought a strong argument.
"Because I'm going to have to send a message from Earth or more accurately the counselor, not sure where the line blurs but humanity needs this guy." the woman said to him walking away.
(later that day)
"You should hear their offer." Zaeed said to him "Earth is for idiots, but they can do a lot of shit to fuck with us or mess up our work, see what they want and play the damn game till you gage the system." he said hating politics "these people want you, but never forget people always want more than what they say." he said as he believed in Earth using Peter to get them a better standpoint in the galaxy, but he saw they may want more.
"Take more from these shit heads than they'll try and take from you." Jack said to him as she didn't want Peter to get fucked over.
(few months later)
Peter had been looking into the alliance in his free time as he needed to determine who he would want to align himself with as Udina was a no go as the man was an ass to the core, Zaeed and Jack were no real help thinking that any alliance or politician was a dick by default, Samara had no idea with human politics and Garrus…was himself and said politicians sucked and wanted to shoot a lot of them.
There were few that got his attention mostly Captain Anderson and Admiral Hackett as they were better situated for something unique as Spider-man.
Peter thought long and hard as both presented certain things he liked as Hackett gave much wiggle room with his troops from what he could tell and Anderson understood and never forgot what it was like to be a trooper to his men under his command which reminded him of Captain America.
(1 week later)
"I must say this is really odd." Anderson said in his apartment as he saw Spider-man hanging from his ceiling.
"Eh you get use to it." Peter said hopping down.
Anderson poured himself a drink then looked to his guest, who shook his head "so what can I do for you, not everyday a hero comes to my apartment…did Udina do something?" he asked feeling that was a good question to ask.
"Well he has had a soldier trying to track me down a Ms Cora Harper." Peter said to him as he kept track of her ever since their conversation from the bar and she was a dedicated soldier as she was tracking everything from where he went as Spider-man to where he disappeared to where he went after helping people and his missions, she was even trying to track down Zaeed, but he kept ducking her.
"You have been a hard one to track, I'm honestly curious myself been nearly 5 years since you showed up here." Anderson said as while as curious as anyone else, he did think it was after all an opportunity for Spider-man's track record "technology, biotics, and genetics is what the council is interested in from you son." he said to him in pure honesty as many speculated Spider-man was enhanced, they had seen him use multiple biotic classes at once, and his technology was hard to read as it used energy that was different than Mass Effect fields.
"Yeah kinda why I want your help I was wondering if you had any ideas to this?" Peter asked him simply.
"Well I'd advise the Spectre route, but then your identity would be revealed." Anderson said as all Spectre's were cataloged for an extremely long list of reasons and identity and other things were taken into consideration.
"And it be better to have the backing of my people and homeworld." Peter said as being a Spectre was one thing, but representing and having the support of his planet would be both useful and necessary.
"If you work with the alliance many will demand things of you, but maybe under my command I can shield you, but there may be concessions such as you or even your team being marked as Alliance." Anderson said to him.
"My team has a Turian and an Asari love to see how the Alliance will try and claim that." Peter said to him as Anderson chuckled.
"Gotta love politicians when you can use them as a shield." Anderson said as he chuckled as the Turian councilor hated Udina and he was sure the head of C-SEC would also throw in his hat if the Alliance tried claiming the Avengers and the Asari alone were not people one wanted as an enemy "they'll want to keep watch over you in some way maybe 'offer' you a teammate or something like that and have you in an more monitored place." he said to him..
"Speaking of places what the hell man this place seems covered in dust and barely used." Peter said as he looked at the spacious apartment.
"A gift from Udina actually he said a man of my standing shouldn't be in some hovel and we needed to represent humanity at it's best." Anderson said as Udina acquired this place when he was told he'd be stationed here as the alliance liaison as many knew Udina was capable, but his personality left much to be desired "I'll give you the apartment better that way as it's known to the Councilers and so on with the Alliance and don't worry this place isn't bugged and I can finally move out I like smaller spaces." he said to Peter.
Peter knew the place wasn't bugged as he had Karen do a scan as it was completely clean "thanks guess it'll be an upgrade." he said as the apartment was getting small.
"No problem now, what will you now they'll push for you to become a Spectre after you 'join'?" Anderson said to him simply.
"I can delay for a few more years maybe stroke their egos get more work done and all that public crap." Peter said as he had seen the ups and downs or Mr Stark's career and saw how things went for the original Avengers.
(1 week later)
"Fuck em, fuck these people." Zaeed said to Peter as the Alliance wanted them to wear more Alliance wear "clothes I may be convinced with, but not our ship she's perfect the way she is fuck all those people and we have a brand name already we are not wearing alliance bars on our shit." he said as the Alliance wanted to brand them and have them wear their colors to make it more 'official'.
"I know I know." Peter said to him as he had to sit through a meeting with Anderson and how the alliance wanted him and his team to be more active with his new role.
"Hey Jack question would you get Alliance bars tattooed onto ya?" Zaeed asked curiously.
"For those shit heads not a chance…now for Peter and our team hell yes." Jack said with a grin.
"Wait back up what of mine and the team could you possibly tattooed and where?" Peter asked her curiously.
"For that I'd have to get naked." Jack said winking his way.
"For the love of god." Zaeed said to himself as Jack was making more attempts to gain Peter's attention as she finally realised she liked him more than just as a friend 'surprised it took this long I was fucking much younger than these two idiots.' he thought as he found it odd they didn't screw till now or that Jack hadn't cornered him.
"Apparently our government's are trying to do the same I think the Council wants this to be a 'joint Citadel team' with agents from the select militaries." Garrus said to them as he hated the idea of them involving with this team.
"That sounds like a terrible idea." Samara said as she felt getting more involved with their governments would just cause problems.
"See even she is seeing sense." Zaeed said to the others.
"Um people I work with were on the goddamn news." Garrus said as he saw some of their faces on the tv.
"...many are wondering who in fact does control the Avengers and what will happen to Spider-man's technology as many have seen his suits capabilities and biotics and while it was nice to see he had shared the biotic with his Asari and Turian team mates many still wonder if earth will use this to seize the biotic tech Spider-man has established and possibly his suits other capabilities and-" the tv was saying till it shut off courtesy of Peter.
"Just so everyone is clear arc tech and our ship is not on the table." Peter said as he was being hounded for that a lot.
"I have an idea…we flip them off." Jack said as she got some chuckles.
Peter smiled loving that the team dynamic hasn't changed at all "yeah but there is something else." he said remembering something Anderson said to him.
(3 days later)
"Fuck off douchebags touch her and all your bones break." Jack said to the alliance crew of the Normandy as their ship was in the cargo hold.
"You heard the lady touch our girl and die." Zaeed said to them as he cocked his gun the crew knowing very well he'd use it.
The Normandy crew backed off as the biotic field Jack let off and Zaeed's face showed them they were not kidding.
"Why the fuck did I agree to this?" Jack asked him curiously wondering what she was thinking.
"Cause there's an arachnid guy who you want to screw." Zaeed said to her as he took out some smokes.
Jack merely flipped him off "I miss the others why couldn't they come." she said thinking out loud wondering what Garrus and Samara couldn't be here.
"Because these people ARE ASSHOLES!" Zaeed said to her shouting at the remaining members in the cargo hold.
(with Peter)
"Come on." Joker said to Peter.
"No, for a number of reasons A she's my baby and B-Z my teammates will murder you for even looking at her." Peter said as Joker wanted to fly his ship as he read reports on it the alliance collected on it.
"Dude it's a small ship capable of relay travel and it has all this cool tech c'mon." Joker said to him.
"Not a chance plus my AI does have permission to kill you." Peter said as he gave Karen full permission to shoot anyone she didn't like and she had many of his spider-bots on the ship which she could remote control and use if anyone got inside.
"What does she do, drive you?" Joker said with a scoff.
"No, but I can certainly out fly you Mr Moreau." Karen said as she tapped into the spider-bot on Peter's person having a live feed of everything.
"Not a damn chance in hell." Joker said as he and Karen then began to fight on who was better and Peter just took off.
(next day)
"Anderson your soldiers need to shape up." Peter said as he fought many of the troops and so far no challenge.
Anderson smiled at the soldiers on the ground with bruised bodies and egos "how is the ship treating you?" he asked him curiously.
"Fine would be better if everyone didn't keep their eyes on me 24/7." Peter said to him.
"Lot of people wanna know who you are I warned you." Anderson said as Peter still kept his identity hidden and so did the rest of his team.
"Well they can wonder all they want they ain't comin off." Peter said to him simply.
"Doesn't mean they won't try." Anderson said to him.
(4 and a half years later)
"Fucking finally someone else got nominated for this Spectre crap." Peter said as everyone was hounding him about it and now someone else was recommended.
"You've been putting it off for what nearly 10 years." Zaeed said as he has been holding in a lot of anger about that as Spectre's got top of the line gear.
"Least Nihlus was kind enough to bring Garrus." Jack said playing cards with said bird man.
"I called in a favor and c'mon Jack you're killing me." Garrus said as they were playing with real credits and Jack was eating him alive.
"So how's the literal robot." Zaeed asked him as Legion was also here as apparently the Geth-Heritics had finally attacked a colony and Peter called him immediately to repair the damage as Legion had special permission to be on the Citadel, but there were still issues with Quarians as the three factions that arose still happened to want to either kill or rewrite Legion's code with the rare wanting peace between Quarians and the Geth.
"We refer to ourselves as synthetic beings." Legion said to him.
"Yeah and I want real smokes that don't suck on the Citadel." Zaeed said as he had to special order these from earth and those bastards charged an arm and a leg.
"So let me ask how the hell have you hidden your identity so long?" Garrus asked Peter curiously wondering how he pulled nearly 5 years with the alliance.
"They certainly try." Peter said as he was sure someone actually went into the ships compost storage unit to acquire some DNA.
"How about our girl? Any of these idiots try to touch her." Garrus asked as he loved this ship especially the weapons inside.
"Mostly the pilot but he's alright." Peter said to him.
"Sucks we had to leave Samara." Garrus said as an attacked colony seemed right up her alley.
"Well this is supposed to be a test for Jane and we're just providing air support and so on." Peter said as they needed to save peoples lives that was the whole point of this.
"Didn't you get threatened by Udina if you mess this up you have to be a Spectre?" Jack asked him as Udina was a punk ass, but he seemed a little more serious and nervous on this threat.
"Yeah apparently they have been pressing on Anderson if this doesn't go through I may have to take up the mantle." Peter said to them as he was almost 30 and he needed to step up now.
"About time seriously kid those bastards get cool shit." Zaeed said as he wanted Spectre materials as it would up his game.
"We know." the rest of the team mumbled out.
"I don't want shit from you Garrus Mr 'I'm not a Spectre cause I listened to daddy'." Zaeed said as Garrus was also nominated to be a Spectre and listened to his father to not do it.
"Yeah throw that in my face." Garrus said flatly.
"I'm gonna go check on Jane." Peter said to them as he got up and left as Jack cheered as Zaeed and Garrus were having a Mexican stand off.
"You wanna go Zaeed pull the damn trigger and let's settle this!" Garrus said to the mercenary.
"You think I won't bird let's fucking go right now!" Zaeed said to him as he aimed a trigger.
"Shoot you pussies I have a bet to win!" Jack said as she bet on Zaeed while Peter bet on Garrus to whomever would shoot the other first and they made this bet months ago and they were always full of hot air and Samara always stopped it but now they have no one to stop him.
(few minutes later)
"You ready?" Peter asked Jane Shepard his fellow N7 and friend as she was one of the few on the Normandy.
"Yeah any last words of advice?" Jane asked him for numerous reasons.
"Yeah…aim for the head, body shots don't do much." Peter said to her as body shots did jack all.
"Ok?" Jane said thinking that was decent advice all things considering "why haven't you become a Spectre yet?" she asked him curiously.
"Truth?" Peter asked her getting a nod "I'm a little scared of it, when I was younger I was given the chance to join something bigger than me and I just…couldn't step up I made mistakes and people died, because of my choices and decisions." he said thinking about the people he lost in his life "maybe I'm ready, maybe I've been ready this whole time, but Jane remember we all have a moment when we're called to step up or step down and let someone else handle things if you give in with great power comes great responsibility." he said to her reciting the last words of his aunt.
Jane sat there in thought as she took off.
(1 hour later)
"You have got to be kidding me." Peter said as he looked at Nihlus' corpse as Jane called him and he flew over immediately "ok I'll handle the body." he said taking out some spider-bots to fly him to the ship and asked Karen to send them back for Jenkins body.
"I can't believe I'm meeting you. I've heard so much sir." Ashley Williams said as she was a Spider-man fan as she was an admirer of him as he did much in the alliance and for humanity.
"Pleasure, hey Legion what's the situation?" Peter said greeting her as he called his friend.
"The Heretics are vast in number; here we have provided all the assistance we could." Legion said to him through the comms.
"Return to the ship we…probably have everything under control." Peter said to him "I'll fly ahead you all follow." he said taking them to the platform where they fought Geth.
(few minutes later)
"Williams Alenko you two take the bomb over there, Shepard and I will take the other, and we all give cover fire to reach the third." Peter said to them as they all nodded firing at the Heretics.
"Can not get over that he flies." Ashley said as she always thought that was cool.
"Yeah Joker is the same way." Kaiden said as Joker liked flying the ship, but he thought it'd be next level to fly yourself.
"So any ideas on what the hell we should do once we're done here." Jane said as she was sure her chances at Spectre were shot now and Peter was screwed.
"We'll have to deliver the bodies and handle this appropriately as the council won't do shit since we ventured out the Terminus systems and other shit." Peter said as the council couldn't/wouldn't help with this and with Nihlus' death none of this would turn over smoothly.
"Done nice." Jane said as Peter finished it in the span of their conversation.
"Please this bomb is basic." Peter said as even then his spider-sense would tell him if the wire he was about to cut was boobytrapped or false or the wrong one "so what are these guys after?" he asked curiously.
"A Prothean beacon." Jane said as Prothean tech was valuable and could be extremely useful to just about anyone who could use it.
Peter froze as he wasn't given the full details about the mission and given his Prothean biology, he was also curious as he made inquiries to many researchers about the Protheans.
They all made it to the final bomb.
"What the fuck am I looking at." Peter said seeing a blue cybernetic mesh that seemed human.
"No idea the Geth stabbed these people on giant spikes and it turned the people…into those things." Ashley said as they still freaked her out.
Peter ran every vital scan he could and the person this creature was before was gone, not even his brain could fix this 'they're just walking corpses.' he thought as he wanted to kill them out of mercy so he fired a repulsor beam at it.
"Does that suit carry any other firearms?" Ashley asked curiously.
Peter nodded as he had Zaeed help him with weapon designs as he made tech similar to Iron man's armor specs putting in a few small missiles and other firearms.
Peter walked closer to the beacon as his eyes behind his mask glowed green.
"Whoa!" Ashley said as she stuck close to Peter and when she followed behind him to inspect the beacon she was dragged closer to it, but Jane pulled her out the way and both she and Peter were caught in an explosion.
(few hours later)
"We're fucked." Garrus said as Peter was unconscious and his peoples' Spectre was now dead and supposedly killed by a Spectre who was also of his people whom he never really liked.
"Fucked doesn't even begin to cover it." Jack said as this was a shit show "are you done eye fucking the doctor." she said to Zaeed with a glare.
"Hey piss off she's got a certain figure I like about her." Zaeed said with a grin.
"Hasn't she slapped you, thrown booze at you, tried to shoot you, made all your healing painful, threaten you, and once punched you in the face, is that how human mating rituals go cause if so well done!" Garrus said half joking as he never understood the opposite sex of any species.
"Eh." Jack said as he wasn't wrong or right as pretty much every female had a violent nature hidden in them and some like her showed it out in public while Dr Chakwas seemed to save it for people like Zaeed.
"Ok back to the situation we need to know what the alliance is gonna do he's weak now." Garrus said to them as Peter was never as vulnerable as he was now.
"And it gets worse." Anderson said walking into the med bay.
"Oh what now!" Jack said in annoyance.
"The alliance isn't happy dead colony, dead assignment for Spectre nominee, and everything else they could think off." Anderson said to them as the Alliance was not happy about this outcome.
"Well looks like he's finally becoming a Spectre good on you kid we'll drink to you once wake the fuck up…what's he dreaming about anyway?" Zaeed asked curiously.
"Doc said they were dreaming about something. Their brain waves are off the charts." Jack said to her.
"That beacon could've fucked him up in the head that chick said they looked like they were possessed or some crap." Zaeed said as he heard every word Ashley told Dr Chakwas.
"Sucks Samara isn't here." Jack said as she'd be able to directly tap into Peter's mind.
"Ummm has he always been able to do…that?" Garrus asked as they all looked to Peter and right now his body was covered in a black substance which was moving all around him.
"Ummmm I've seen him shift clothing and it turned black for a moment, but not like this." Zaeed said as he grabbed a small metal rod and poked only for it to not release the rod and slap him with it "ok that's new." he said before a tendril shot up and they all saw…a face similar to Peter's mask only monstrous and menacing which hissed at them "and now I'm getting as far away as possible." he said as the face receded into Peter.
(?)
"You know…I always wondered when I'd meet you." Peter said in a dark void as he always felt the symbiote was sentient, but it never responded to him.
"I merely watched and never intervened till I felt I was needed, I am Venom…or at least a part of Venom." a black and white version of the suit Peter wore when he fought at the statue of liberty said "you have not needed my assistance till now, your body has awakened the genes inside of you, the dormant part of your genetics has awakened finally." he said to him as Peter's Asari and Prothean genetics had yet to be unlocked for various reasons, the beacon merely made them awaken on their own.
Peter listened to Venom and learned all he could and more about what was happening to him and why "how did I get this way?" he asked as the symbiote had it's own DNA from what he saw from their bond.
"I am…unsure my memory had a blank in it…and as a symbiote that is impossible, be careful and wake the hell up!" Venom yelled as Peter shot off the medical bed he was on.
(1 hour later)
"This place hasn't changed." Peter said as they made it to the embassies and Udina was going off "Udina shut up." he said calmly as he was done listening to Udina.
Jane, Kaiden, and Ashley had to stifle a laugh as Anderson complained about Udina a lot and now they understood why.
Peter took in a deep breath and had his mask undone "my name is Peter Parker, I am an N7 operative currently not in active duty, and most importantly…I am Spider-man." he said seeing the shock on their faces.
"How old are you son?" Anderson asked as Peter looked young and he had been here for a decade.
"28." Peter said to them.
"You've been at this since you were 18?" Jane asked as when she was young she was in a gang, to hear he had been that young when he started this.
"You're in the military?" Ashley asked finding that he was in the toughest programs like Jane and Anderson to be even more respectful.
"This is all a lot to take in…so are you joining the Spectres now?" Kaiden asked as that was the main thing.
"Guess I have no choice galaxy has been riding me for years to do it along with everyone else guess it is time to step up." Peter said looking at Jane as she nodded remembering their earlier conversation.
(30 minutes later)
Many inside the council chambers were shocked to see Spider-man without his mask on as many took pictures or brought out their omni tools to record.
"Trial first." Anderson said as Udina wanted to get that out of the way before Peter could do anything as Udina wanted to squeeze out basically anything from the council.
Peter was getting many waves as people took pictures of him, he decided to intervene when the Turian councilor Sparatus spoke about how humanity wasn't ready "sir with all do respect the first contact wars have been done for many years I do not see this need for no longer unprovoked aggression this is the Citadel where all species come to coexist and represent our worlds." he said to Sparatus as out of all the councilors he was most aggressive when it came to certain business always being the firmer hand when concerned with the other councilors as Tevos was more understanding and often kept neutral leaning on the side that showed the best out comes, while Valern was more critical and while like most Salarians using his genius to guide him, he was one who saw both pros and cons for more than just his people and saw to the good of the Citadel.
"Spider-man is correct Sparatus, you have spoken well on Spider-man's behalf in the past as not even you can deny his accomplishments and if I am correct he works with a Turian on his team which has been involved with C-SEC for many years." Valern said to his fellow councilor.
"I…apologize for my statement, but this trial is still a farce as Saren is a well respected Spectre." Sparatus said defending his Spectre as losing two in the span of days would not look good for his people.
Peter looked at the hologram of Saren and felt uncomfortable as the man seemed more machine than human as his eyes seemed like implants of cybernetics and his armor certainly seemed too advanced with tech.
They all listened as the ruling was declared and Jane's potential Spectre status was on hold.
"Spider-man." Saren said getting everyone's attention "I must say your record is astonishing, most Turians salute you if you weren't aware." he said with a chuckle "you were considered for the Spectre program by the council, my how rare that is." he said to him.
"What's he doing?" Kaiden asked them as Saren was stating certain facts people knew and sounded as if he was complementing Peter.
"It's a tactic, he's trying to make people think he's not against humanity by making a public announcement to the Citadel's most popular person." Anderson said as it was a political move he saw often when one tried to hide something and hid behind someone else.
"So ass kissing." Ashley said simply getting some laughs.
"What can we do?" Jane asked Anderson as it wasn't a good idea to intervene.
"We use this." Anderson said to her as this was gonna be fantastic.
"I think you mean are…councilors, I'm ready." Peter said as he addressed his name to the public like he did in the embassies with the others.
The entire Citadel cheered as they saw Spider-man be awarded Spectre status.
The council gained odd looks when they took Peter's handprint and much more.
"Peter, may we speak to you in private before you leave it's private Spectre business new protocols and so on." Tevos said to him
(few minutes later)
"This is not possible." Valeryn said as he checked the scans again on Peter for his Spectre status as the DNA.
"Let me guess, my Spectre scans show I'm part human, Asari, and Prothean." Peter said as he knew that was gonna be revealed
"Yes and another unknown species." Tevos said to him as she saw the scan and saw the fourth DNA strand.
'Must be the symbiote.' Peter thought as he knew it was a part of him, he just didn't think it stretched to a genetic level.
"How is this possible, he's human!" Sparatus said to his fellow council.
"Interesting how DNA combined and even more curious to see Asari genetics as Asari DNA has never been halved." Valern said to them running some more scans on Peter seeing the scan was not wrong.
"How do his genetics work?" Tevos asked Valern curiously.
"Hmmmm, my best guess is that his body is somehow working off the strongest traits of each species, no way to tell what that is given Prothean and new DNA unknown." Valern said to them.
"And what about his…abilities?" Sparatus said as he was often curious about that.
"Infused in all DNA causing mutation I can't identify or properly scan on the cellular level." Valern said to them.
"You have an interesting position, counselor." Sparatus said looking at Tevos who gave him an odd look "minus the Prothean and unknown DNA, he also falls under the Asari species you may be able to argue that he is YOUR people's Spectre." he said as given Peter was quarter Asari it certainly was possible.
Tevos has to admit that was certainly an argument she could make and she wondered what the implications would be given Peter was a MALE Asari.
"Yeah we can get to that later." Peter said reminding them he was here "if it would be alright I'd like this to remain secret." he said to them as the councilors only agreed to it as it would cause even more issues for them.
(15 minutes later)
"Don't ask." Peter said as he saw the looks on the others mostly Udina wanting to know what happened.
"Any ideas on how we can prove Saren is guilty?" Anderson asked Peter curiously as he gave the team options
"Garrus has some files and stuff from his stray searches on Saren, Karen mind pulling that up and sending it to us." Peter said as everyone got it within a few seconds.
"Hmmm may want to see Barla Von." Anderson said to Peter as they both knew the 'public' person that usually got into contact with the Shadow Broker.
"We can try Harken as well." Peter said seeing Anderson scoff.
"Try to get things done and don't make humanity look bad on this." Udina said as he left.
"Hate to say it, but your actions reflect on all of us now, when you succeed so do we, when you fail we fail." Anderson said as Spectres represented their people with the status they carried.
"Yeah no pressure." Peter said sarcastically "c'mon Harken's at Chora's Den." he said to the other's as they went to the front entrance..
"What's Chora's Den?" Jane asked curiously.
"Bar/strip club." Peter said as the women of the group rolled their eyes and Kaiden's interest was peaked.
"And you know this how?" Ashley said sending him a look most if not all women gave men when they asked a question but demanded an answer.
"I know the owner Chora she's an information broker in a way." Peter said as Chora was actually Aria T'Loak's source on the Citadel and it was how Zaeed kept up to date with certain jobs on Omega.
"Strip clubs usually are for the rich and powerful." Garrus said as he greeted them as they came out the elevator "Karen filled me in finally going after this bastard." he said wanting in on the action.
"Well you're welcome join us Garrus." Jane said as he was good conversation despite how far he bent the rules.
"So where we going?" Garrus asked them.
"Chora's Den." Peter said to him as the avian man chuckled.
"Gonna have to fight off all the girls now Peter your identity revealed makes you quite the eligible bachelor." Garrus said as he smiled hearing Peter groan "all the strippers and you complain, we need to get you laid my friend." he said to him simply as Peter told him why he wasn't dating as all the members of the Avengers knew his past and his mistakes "I mean what are you saving yourself for marriage nearly 30 and still no action." he said to him.
"You haven't gotten any wow." Ashley said as he looked very attractive and to hear he didn't even have a girlfriend was surprising.
"Can we talk about something other than my date and sex life?" Peter asked them as he really wanted to change the subject.
"We can, but I get the feeling none of us want to." Garrus said with a chuckle "question do your powers work for sex cause I once dated this girl loved to be tied up, but Turian arm strength is incredible so she always broke them, hell even my old C-SEC handcuffs broke." he said to him before he dodged a web shot at his mouth "Peter…I know human males shoot out white stuff when they reach a certain point, but I'm not into that Peter ladies how about you would you like Peter to shoot-" was all Garrus said before he got punched in the face courtesy of Jane.
"Thank you." Peter said glad there was someone who could shut him up.
"No problem…but he does bring up an interesting question, I mean how does?" Jane said gesturing to his wrists and not the other thing Garrus was referring to.
Peter undid the glove part of his hand and shot a web against a wall "I have…web sacks if you want to call it that in my wrists I'm able to shoot webs out of them." he said as he filled them in on some stuff.
Ashley got curious and given her abrasive nature she felt his wrist and examined where the web came out and felt something under the tissue.
"Feel it?" Peter asked her.
"Yeah weird." Ashley said as she wondered how he became who he was.
Jane got curious and checked herself.
"Wow Peter getting ready for Chora's Den, I mean you have two girls feeling you up." Garrus said as Kaiden had to suppress a laugh.
Jane and Ashley sent him a strong and fierce glare that shut him up for the meantime.
(few minutes later)
"Just had to blow the secret didn't you." Chora said to Peter as she served him a drink expecting him to show up.
"Cut the crap Chora you don't even serve your own drinks what's Aria want." Peter said as Chora gave him a glass of something he never bothered to think about given his fast metabolism.
"Nothing wanting to give you congratulations on being a Spectre, she says you're perfect for the job." Chora said as she and Peter knew Aria well and knew that despite everything Aria was an Asari commando and a soldier, she had respect for her kind no matter the race and knowing Peter was a Spectre and wasn't one to follow all the rules and stay inside the lines made her happy or at least amused and took stress of certain aspects of running Omega.
Peter nodded as he could tell Aria was being genuine even through a message from a carrier
"Now, do you mind doing me a favor and stopping that Krogan from killing my security I have a tenant renting out here for a while." Chora said to him as he knew what she was referring to.
"You mean Fist." Peter said as he and Garrus kept up to date with local crime on the Citadel and anyone who thought they were a crime boss with some gang.
Chora merely nodded.
"Hey pyjak!" Peter said walking up to the red armored Krogan who the minute he turned around fell to the floor as Peter smashed his head against him "take it outside." he said to him.
"This'll be fun." Garrus said as they were waiting for Harken to show and waited for Peter to return only to see him talk to a Asari at the bar and not a minute later he bashed his head against a Krogan "ok I've got a thousand credits on Peter what about you?" he asked them wondering if they'd take the bet.
"I'll take some of that action." Kaiden said to him.
"Do you know who I am, human?" the Krogan getting up.
"The Krogan on the floor so are you gonna do something about it." Peter said to him with an unimpressed look in his eyes.
The Krogan looked angry before he busted out laughing. "see that princess THAT is a man hell he'd make a decent Krogan." he said looking to the Krogan bouncer he was moments.
The Krogan bouncer looked at the human "holy crap your Spider-man." he said backing up.
"Really huh neat wanna go a few rounds with a real Krogan names Urdnot Wrex." Wrex said as he knew Peter's reputation.
"As tempting as that is we probably have business to discuss." Peter said as he saw Wrex catch his meaning.
(few minutes later)
"Saren huh sounds like fun, never killed a Spectre before." Wrex said as even he had respect for the title and rank knowing it was not given easily.
"And thanks we'll deal with Fist." Peter said to him simply.
Wrex smiled when he heard 'deal with'.
"Listen we need to go the the medical clinic." Peter said as he got an emergency distress as the woman there was a friend who patched up his team Dr Chloe Micheals
"Hey aren't you hated by Quarians?" Ashley asked him curiously.
"Oh you have no idea, but some come to me for advice or tips." Peter said as they mostly came to him to get close to Legion baring the occasional Quarian killer, some wanted to study Legion and Legion gave them certain scans that weren't harmful to the Geth as a whole.
(few minutes later)
'Hmm Turians and Salarians.' Peter thought as he studied both species biology and often changed his fighting style to fit that species, Turians while bipedal and flightless made up for their lack of flight by having increased arm strength that was stronger than even some Krogan, and Salarians while smart had a shorter lifespan than humans and were amphibian meaning like most reptiles they were weak to cold "you guys have cryo ammo?" he asked them curiously.
Garrus and Kaiden brought out some clips.
Spider-man crawled up to the ceiling above the Quarian and waited for the inevitable double cross as the Shadow Broker is a person who got what he wanted through any means.
When the Quarian stated she was going to leave he saw her reach for her weapon along with the Shadow Broker agents and immediately dropped down and webbed the nearest agents and jumped up grabbing the Quarian as he did as his friends unleashed heavy fire.
"Well they're dead can we go kill Fist now?" Wrex asked boredly.
"Sure." Jane said as Fist was clearly the one who sold the Quarian out.
"Mind if I got a piece of that action." the Quarian said getting a grunt of approval from Wrex "and can you let me down please." she said sounding nervous being so high up.
"Oh my bad." Peter said as he was so use to sticking places it was as normal as standing
"Soooo you're Spider-man." the Quarian asked curiously.
"And you're?" Peter asked as they never got her name.
"Oh Tali'Zorah nar Rayya." Tali said introducing herself.
"Hey you're not gonna try and shoot him are you cause I'm gonna be honest I'm starting to feel bad about shooting Quarians." Garrus said as the team dealt with many Quarians ever since Legion was revealed.
"Um no, but I am curious about his relationship with the Geth." Tali said to them as she had read his book and found it interesting as while AI the Geth seemed to retain much of the Quarian culture.
"Later after we deal with Fist and the council." Peter said as she nodded.
(few minutes later)
"Awwwww." Wrex said as he saw corpses on the floor.
"Thanks Chora." Peter said as when Aria established connections she made sure they were prepared 'even the strippers were packing heat.' he thought to himself seeing one of the dancers.
"No problem." Chora said polishing her weapon as she motioned for the back.
"You sure you wanna do this guys." Jane said as the moment they opened the door they saw staff, but they didn't look like mercenaries or guns for hire.
Both men shook in terror seeing they were outnumbered and out gunned and soon just ran past them.
"We could've just shot them save some time." Wrex said to them.
"I agree, but I like to not have innocent blood on my hands." Garrus said as there was no way those two were killers.
"Let's just find Fist." Tali said opening the door Peter stopping her before she took a step.
"Twin turrets armed and ready to fire at us " Peter said as she was different than many Quarians he met as she was ready to rush into danger despite the fact she could die.
"Allow me." Wrex said with a grin as he marched in and everyone heard the loud turrets blasting and Fist firing from his own weapon.
"Kinda jealous how Krogan can regenerate so fast." Peter said as that was kinda cool.
"Not when you're in a fight with them." Garrus said as he had a few fights with Krogan and their regenerative properties sucked a lot.
They all went in when things got quiet and saw Fist on the floor…missing his head.
"Did you…eat his head?" Tali asked unsure if she wanted that question answered even more convinced when he just smiled and chuckled her way.
(1 hour later)
"Two Spectre's in one day congrats." Garrus said to Jane as after Saren was outed Udina pushed for her status to be awarded given Saren interrupted her evaluation and that it would make up for Nihlus' murder and Saren's betrayl, he felt a little bad it was his species losing their status as Nihlus was a public Spectre and did a lot of good and Saren was one of the top if not the best Spectre this'd be a major blow.
Peter could practically feel Sparatus fuming about this turn of events.
(20 minutes later)
"Finally a damn premotion, been dying for this to happen." Zaeed said as Anderson "and we got another ship." he said in amusement.
"Half a ship." Anderson said to him "Peter and Jane are co-captains and the first team pair of Spectres." he said as the Alliance wanted there to be a close watch on Peter, but he wanted him to have freedom so he put him in a top position or at least biggest he could.
"So who wins in the divorce cause we can just steal this ship just so you're aware." Jack said boredly.
"Divorce?" Udina asked raising an eyebrow.
"Yeah cause Peter's gonna be fucking Jane since they'll be sleeping together." Jack said getting various reactions.
"Excuse me?" Jane said in a low dangerous tone.
"One captain's bunk bitch." Jack said as she laughed.
"I'll be sleeping on my ship thanks." Peter said as they often slept there anyway as the sleeper pods just sucked.
"Must suck for a guy to not want to sleep with you." Jack said teasingly to Jane.
"And you shut the hell up." Jane said as Kaiden and Ashley were chuckling like idiots.
(1 hour later)
"The fuck is this?" Wrex asked as Peter called the ground combative team down.
"Are these the newest Quarian upgrades!?" Tali said in excitement as she saw a cooling system which meant her suit wouldn't run hot.
"Thank Legion for that." Peter said as Tali seemed a bit shy around Legion and quick questions it was so noticeably awkward Legion addressed it.
"These look exactly like our suits why?" Jane asked as while she liked that it had her N7 markings she was curious.
"The armor you all had was worn and torn." Peter said looking at Wrex and Garrus when he said that "and very out of date Ashley seriously besides no tactical advantage of color, your armor was less effective than kevlar." he said as the company was more suited for making medical supplies and the fact it was white on a planet that was mostly green vegetation when he met her, he saw no advantages.
"So you made us duplicates?" Wrex said as he looked it over guessing he could change.
"Not exactly you know the Colossus armor I used those same materials for your suits." Peter said as he used the fabricator and merely used the correct dye.
"If you didn't like the color why keep it white?" Ashley asked him curiously.
"Noveria is cold and snowy white is best color for stealth and given I can make about 30-" Peter was saying before looking at Wrex who was basically the size of 2-3 humans "a lot more also here an alliance blue." he said tossing her the same outfit, but it was colored blue primary and gold secondary.
"Least it's not pink huh Ashley." Kaiden said jokingly as Ashley hated the color as she thought it was to girly.
"This is honestly the greatest thing you've ever given me." Garrus said to Peter as it was better than his old armor.
"Also I'm sending you all my viewing rights to the Spectre items I'm allowed, if it's possible I can get them now for the mission." Peter said as he knew his team's style and already got them a set of weapons.
"Might be a good idea to be better equipped." Jane said as she knew times were tough especially in the army.
"Um excuse me the armor I can understand but how are you paying for these idiots?" Zaeed said as he wasted no time with Peter getting guns for him and the others, but he hardly liked this crew and they barely knew the newest additions "I mean the Krogan yeah seems like he's seen some action, but the girls here aren't that suited in my opinion." he said not being sexist as he saw Tali and Ashley and given that both were rescued and had lacking materials and experience in battle made his opinion not that high of them.
"Ashley has a high performance in combat and Tali is a hacker those skills are very advanced." Peter said to him as he did a check list on all the teams abilities.
Zaeed conceded as he trusted Peter's skills in combat and as a leader, he knew where people were best suited.
"Now that that's out of the way where we headed?" Ashley asked curiously.
"To Liara T'Soni even if she's not a traitor she'd be valuable intel on her mother's habits and perhaps past." Peter said looking to Jane getting a nod of agreement.
(20 minutes later)
Jane had to admit Peter was doing a fine job as co-captain as he prepared the team best he could and his decisions were sound 'wonder what he's doing.' she thought to herself as she left the captain's quarters and went down on the universe's slowest elevator and she saw her crew mostly gearing up "where's Tali?" she asked as they all pointed to the core.
"She wanted to try and understand the engine." Garrus said as Quarians were always gonna be curious of advanced tech.
"I'd duck if I were you." Zaeed said as Samara and Jack were sparring and that never ended well.
Jane took his suggestion and did it in the nick of time as Jack was sent flying at her "where's Peter?" she asked curiously.
"Messing with our ship." Zaeed said simply as Peter working meant their shit was in tip top shape.
Jane was curious and approached jumping back as Zaeed shot in front of her.
"Captain or not you fucktwits aren't stepping foot on our baby." Zaeed said as no one entered their ship who wasn't an avenger, except Legion, but he was honest at least.
"Zaeed quit being a dick and let her in." Peter said from inside the ship.
Jane flipped him off at that moment.
"Adorable." Zaeed said rolling his eyes.
Jane walked in and was impressed as she had seen vids of this ship in action and while small it was powerful and fast, she went up and saw Peter working at a bench "whatcha working on?" she asked seeing a small glowing object the size of her fist.
"Improving some designs of the ship I'm trying to increase the output of the reactor without changing the size." Peter said as Mr Stark had a thin nanobot metal chest piece for his srmor and it still ran on the arc reactor, his suit had a similar one, but he was trying to see if he could rework the original reactor as he was going to attempt to recreate the particle accelerator Tony made to make his new element.
Jane was curious as she saw the metal tubes "this won't kill us right?" she asked curiously.
"Not a clue." Peter said turning on the machine.
Everyone outside the ship became concerned as the hull of Peter's ship was looking like it was burning/melting and the glow started to move till it faded.
"The hell are you lunatics doing down there a massive aount of power just spiked up on the scanners." Joker said over the comms.
"We're alive!" Peter said from inside the ship.
"Not for long if you broke the ship!" Zaeed said from outside and saw a bright light "the fuck are you doing in there…what the fuck is that." he said as he saw a glowing piece of metal.
"Our new engine piece." Peter said getting a pair of tongs as he was sure pure skin contact would be inadvisable.
The Avenger and the rest of the team saw the engine room and saw the ship linked to a large battery that was an arc reactor.
"This is putting out as much power as the mass effect core." Tali said in awe as something so small being so powerful was amazing.
"Ugh Peter will this kill us?" Garrus asked not liking the earlier results and saw a melted line inside the ship.
"Nope." Peter said as Jane hit the deck the others following her lead, he rolled his eyes and added the element to the core.
Tali's scanners alerted her as it showed her the current power it was letting out and right now it was letting out 3x times the power of the mass effect core on the Normandy
(10 minutes later)
"You know with this amount of power we can add in some real artillery." Garrus said as he examined his ship's weapons.
"Yeah we can punch an even bigger hole into someone's defenses or hell destroy a ship even bigger than the Normandy hell maybe a station." Zaeed said to him.
"Fascinating the energy from the new element makes circulation in the engine faster while also purifying the energy it had boosting it's regular properties." Legion said as he an Tali were 'geeking out'.
"I know this is a true marvel in engineering I have to get the schematics from Peter this type of design can revolutionize the fleets." Tali said as an engine this small and powerful would be incredible.
"So this fits multiple people in the pilot deck, not sure if I'd like so much company as I fly." Joker said as he sat in Peter's seat as he was designated pilot given he and Samara were the only sane ones on the team and didn't have maor death wishes.
"This is your room?" Ashley asked as she checked the bedrooms on the ship and Zaeed's was like a trophy room, Samara's was clean and simple, Jack's was full of graffiti, Garrus' was basically an arsenal, and Peter's it was pretty organized but she saw sketches of tech and designs on paper.
"When did we agree to let these morons onto our ship and see our shit." Zaeed said rhetorically wanting to shoot all of them.
"Probably when we didn't give a crap about you." Wrex said as he was stealing booze from the fridge.
Samara was having trouble concentrating as she felt there was a presence they were not aware of, she left the ship and into the cargobay 'where are you.' she thought to herself looking around and her eyes stopped as she looked at the Mako and walked toward it.
"Looking for something?" Jane asked her as she saw Samara leaving the ship.
"Yes." Samara said simply.
Jane rose an eyebrow as she couldn't tell if she was giving her sarcasm.
Samara hopped above the mako and opened the lid and jumped down.
Jane became even more curious as the mako began to shake slightly and a loud sound of someone in pain and it wasn't Samara's voice.
"What is happening?" Kaiden asked curiously.
"I think we have a stowaway." Jane said simply as there were more sounds inside the Mako "mind checking it to make sure nothing is broken." she said to Kaiden as he took great care of the ship's vehicle.
They were interrupted as a biotic blast sent someone outside the Mako and it wasn't Samara.
Jane and Kaiden equipped their pistols and aimed it at the person.
"Who are you?" Kaiden asked her.
"Hey Cora." Peter said leaning against the outside of the ship.
"You know her?" Jane asked slightly lowering her weapon.
"She works or worked for Udina." Peter said to her as after their meeting in the bar all those years ago in the bar they met casually.
Cora glared at him and charged at him.
Peter caught her hand easily.
"Try that again bitch." Jack said as she raised her hand which was showing much biotic energy.
"You lead me around like an idiot for years while I searched for Spider-man or should I say just you." Cora said in anger.
"Not his fault you were a dumb bitch cunt." Jack said as she found a lot of amusement in that Cora never knew Peter was Spider-man.
"What's going on?" Wrex said coming out the ship seeing angry females then looked at Kaiden "human courting rituals?" he asked thinking they seemed interesting "so how does this work do the men and female fight for dominance or what?" he asked looking at them.
"Well that's not…inacurate." Kaiden said getting many looks from some of the women there.
"I thought the angry one was his mate?" Wrex asked looking at Jack.
"Please I got money on this and I still say she doens't have the damn stones." Zaeed said to him.
"Wait back up whose's my competition and you bet against me!?" Jack said in anger.
"I bet on you Jack." Samara said with a smile on her face
"I bet on that bitch that he's always on the phone with online dating works wonders." Zaeed said sounding rather smug.
"Online dating?" all the men and women asked the men sounding amused and the women curious.
"Yeah I may be talking to someone online." Peter said nervously.
"Likes reading, mechanics, science, and athletics. Looking for…are you kidding me?" Garrus said as he pulled up his profile snorting slightly "romance and excitement, what's the matter Peter not enough love and danger?" he asked him with a chuckle.
"You need a Krogan woman she'll try and kill you till you establish dominance!" Wrex said to him with a chuckle.
"Nice abs." Ashley said as she saw one of his pictures was of him shirtless "job C-SEC/Alliance…maybe I should join this sight." she said as she began to sign up.
"Hey can you hack his account?" Zaeed asked Tali and Kaiden as they were good with tech.
Tali and Kaiden seemed interested and began to hack into Peter's account.
Jane was curious and walked closer to Zaeed and saw that both hacked into his account "you're dating her?" she said seeing a woman with black hair and blue eyes and saw she seemed to have…a face that screamed sexy and confidence.
"Oh Peter you sly dog bikini shots and…what the fuck is this?" Zaeed said reading the messages.
"Oh they are comparing notes and theories." Tali said reading a few and copied some down as some were really interesting "mixed in with foreplay." she said blushing a little.
"Can we get back to the matter at hand!?" Peter said wanting to kill them.
"Yes, have they had sex yet cause if they did Samara I want my fucking credits you biotic bitch." Zaeed said getting hit with a biotic clast "ha jokes on you I barely felt that." he said lowly on the floor.
"Aaaaannnnnndddd no sex you bastard still a virgin, Jack take him in the Mako and rob him of his chasity." Garrus said to her.
"I'm game." Jack said sounding excited before she was sucked punched from Cora.
"Enough you and me, have business." Cora said delivering another blow only for it to be caught.
"Listen Cora I'm sorry ok, I kept my identity secret, but I have been your friend and I-wait how the fuck did you get on the Normandy?" Peter asked as Anderson said no to her coming on before this.
"When Udina and Anderson signed over the Normandy to you two he made me part of the crew, he wants me to scan your ship and if possible steal and scan other equipment." Cora said to him.
"That is impossible the ship has scramblers stopping us from scanning anything." Legion said to her.
"Yeah I tried no dice." Tali said to her as she made multiple attempts.
"Listen we're on a mission to save lives you can be angry with me all you want ok and we can settle this later." Peter said as she nodded and just as she turned around she tried another sucker punch "you're not gonna stop are you." he said until he sighed "ok one free shot." he said as she jumped back and charged him giving him a strong punch to the jaw, but in the end he felt a little sore and Cora was holding her hand.
(2 hours later)
'You up?' a message alert came from his omnitool
'Sadly dealing with idiots.' he typed looking at a drink Zaeed who had his hand in his pants for reasons he didn't wanna know why.
'I'm always dealing with idiots welcome to the club, how are you Mr Spectre.' the message said amusement clear in the words.
'Knowing who I am won't change anything will it?' he asked her curiously.
'Hmmmmm perfect man, spandex, and can basically do whatever the fuck he wants, nope no problems.' she said her message making him think she was laughing.
'Well I got stuff to do tomorrow it was nice talking to you Miranda.' Peter said as he waited for her response.
'Sleep tight and here, so you have nice warm dreams.' Miranda said showing him a picture of her in her underwear.
'Great no sleep now.' Peter thought feeling wide awake.
Hey fans wanna explain some things that Peter has experienced being in the Mass Effect Universe, Peter killing that has always been a hard subject for him killing has been a last resort and obvious to Peter's non-descrimination he has killed things not human despite before but I felt in ME he needed to in order to operate, I gave Peter arc reactor tech from Tony because it seemed best and gives him a unique edge and I gave Peter the GoTG ship because seemed best fit I based it off the one in the video game and had it fitted with the tech in the movies for later upgrades, I chose who I did as their back stories allowed the biggest wiggle room and much change as Zaeed is a mercenary and has no prior connections or rather no true connections plus I felt he could be a mentor to Peter and Jack given their youth and his experience, now for Jack that was an easy one as Jack had a wild history and she was a Cerberus asset so it be likely they'd want her back and given she seems young I made her Peter's age since it seemed likely they'd get along as Peter always did have a knack for finding certain people that had gruff exterior and it ain't gruffer than Jack…except maybe Wrex and Grunt, the reason I added Samara to the team is because it adds a little diversity so no one thinks it's prohuman and Samara seemed like she'd fit right in with the team as she does like impossible causes and Peter is sure to do more rescue operations and I feel the Justicar code would allow her to follow Peter as he is a person with a cause and he helps people which would be what Samara would like and for why she calls Peter pure is because of something I read in the comics Emma Frost fell head over heels for him for having a great mind and finally Garrus I waited on him given he is one to jump into the fire of vigilante justice and he seems the oldest in my opinion with the Normandy team and would've been working at C-SEC the longest, also a shout out to my boys Kfbanime87 and KuronoDono12, we've been working together for a long time now and I hope you like their work as well.
Also will be putting up a poll for who Peter should date harem will be an option but if it doesn't get enough votes then no harem.
