Tony Stark stood in the meeting room in S.H.I.E.L.D headquarters, bored, overtired and so not in the mood for this shit.

A few days before had been the anniversary of the worst day of his life, the day his son Pete had been kidnapped and gone missing. He looked around and rolled his eyes in disdain at the chattering, cheerful employees running around. 'this better be good he thought'

Pepper and he had a tradition on these days, the week of Pete's disappearance they would take off all work, isolate themselves inside and cry themselves to oblivion watching old videos and looking at pictures of Pete. It was the worst time of the year.

All he wanted to do was join Pepper in his bed, sleep, and drink himself into a Coma

Instead, he was sitting here with the Avengers being briefed on the new enhanced supernatural Spider- something. The Avengers were all sitting scattered around him, he raised his eyebrows, all the crew had been brought in for this apparently: Romanoff, Rogers, Barton, Banner, Wilson, Thor and Rhodes. Fury stood at the front showing footage of the Spiderling using webbing to swing and bounce around the city stopping robberies, muggings, accidents. He scoffed as they saw Spider-thing rescuing a Kitten from a tree.

"He is a highly dangerous individual" Fury began in that monotone serious voice, "we have no idea of the motives of this individual or the extent of powers he possesses."

Tony and the others looked at Fury in Shock and disbelief.

"Seriously" Tony scoffed. "Have you seen this guy, he's flying around Queens helping old ladies and kittens in his jammies, hardly seems like a level 10 threat".

Rogers, surprisingly, for once agreed with Tony nodding along. "I hardly think he is doing any harm Sir"

The avengers nodded making noises of agreement, they couldn't believe that they, but Tony especially had been called down for this. Of course, no one spoke about it but everyone knew his pain at his missing son around this time, why would they bring him down here for this. He never mentioned it but in the tower living together, they had seen his drunken nights where Pepper and he spoke and laughed about A three-year-old Pete, how they mourned him. Barton especially could understand being a father and even Thor believed children should be protected and cherished as they did on Asgard.

Fury cleared his throat bringing the attention back to himself. "He may be 'helping people' but we have no idea how he came into these powers or the damage he could cause"

"So send someone out'', commented Tony, ''you hardly need us for this".

Fury, brought his head down, pinching the bridge of his nose in frustration, he pursed his lips. "S.H.I.E.L.D operatives have failed to discover the man's true identity or bring him for questioning"

The avengers and Tony all began laughing and smirking as a result even Banner couldn't hide a slight grin.

"Just say it" Tony led with a proud look on his face, his mood cheering considerably. "You brought us here because you're perfectly trained soldiers can't catch Tarzan in a onesie'' he joked, Fury looking, well, furious.

Fury cleared his throat once again, his tone indicating the severity of the situation.

"Spider-Man has evaded capture so far and he seems to have expert knowledge on hacking and programming as we have failed to locate him using cameras, police, and our databases. He is known for patrolling the area of Queens in the afternoon and night. Next time he is alerted to being in the city you will locate him and detain him for questioning" Fury said with no room for argument in his command. The Avengers rolled their eyes at the order but nodded, sighing.

Fury for the next hour or so showed them footage of Spider-Man fighting, they tracked Spider-man's route around the city and where his frequent captures were.

Romanoff examined his fighting style before commenting. "I understand why you are suspicious but it seems highly unlikely that he is working with an organization or other party, he seems rather untrained and young"

Bruce nodded in agreement directing everyone's attention towards the footage of Spiderman almost being stabbed in a fight, before narrowly dodging and avoiding injury, using his web shooter to apprehend the criminal. "It appears if he wasn't enhanced he would have been killed there."

Fury, sensing their increasing curiosity, pulled up a video of Spiderman stopping a car crashing into a Bus. Spiderman in the video swung in on his webs and landed before stopping a car driving at least 40mph with his hands, it was impressive.

"He is extremely strong and fast, like you Mr Rogers" he nodded at Steve, who looked at the footage consideringly. We suspect he has similar abilities and even believe him to be more powerful if trained.". That statement got their attention. Bruce muttered, already taking notes on Spiderman's powers while the others questioned how this could have happened.

Fury, looking pleased with finally getting them to take this matter seriously replied "We believe he may have escaped an experimentation facility which could lead to ties with Hydra or other organizations however it is possible he received his powers another way. This is why we need to bring him in."

"Are we really sure he is a threat?'' Barton asked, laying on the sofa casually playing with Natasha's hair. "he seems pretty innocent".

Fury shot him a reproachful look at this, "Yes, we cannot allow him to run around the city uncontrolled."

"Whatever" said Tony standing up suddenly, clapping his hands. "let's hunt down a spider".

...

Peter Parker was having a great day, he was walking down the street munching on a sandwich from Delmar's, had gotten an A on his calculus test, had arranged to build the new Lego star wars collection with Ned on the weekend at school today, and had even managed to avoid Flash and his gang at the end of school, using his abilities to climb the wall and disappear down an alley.

His Spider-Man suit rested comfortably at the bottom of his trusty old backpack which bounced as he jogged, heading towards this old dumpsite he had discovered on the edge of the city. It was always really useful for finding odd bits of technology and metal he could use to improve his computer. He had two hours until May would come home and make his favourite lasagna for dinner so he needed to be quick.

Despite his plans, the burner phone in his pocket that he and Ned had managed to hack into to alert him to incidents through news reports and a police scanner began buzzing insanely directing his attention to what appeared to be a hostage situation at the bank.

Peter groaned he had just seen what looked to be a perfectly good DVD player nestled in the mountain of rubble a few feet away and he mourned his loss before turning away and running down an alley to change into his Spiderman suit.

He and Ned had developed this nifty device a while ago to temporarily block all cameras in his vicinity when pressing the button which helped immensely when changing as the black spot created made it impossible to determine his identity from the camera's footage. He left his treasured backpack squished behind a dumpster and was soon slinging across buildings through the City towards the commotion.

Far away at S.H.I.E.L.D Avengers assembled to take him in.
