"So, the Vulture was his dates dad, huh." Spider-Man 2 remarked.
"You ever fought the Vulture in your world?" Spider-Man 3 asked him.
"Oh yeah, once, long ago, Along with my Mysterio actually, you?"
"I did. Never met a Mysterio though in my universe."
"He's a dick." Spider-Man 2 laughed. "Don't recommend."
Toomes and Liz's mother talked as they all waited for Liz, Toomes offered Peter a drink, he refused on his age and Toomes congratulated him, as Liz arrived, he asked Peter how she looked, Peter fumbled his words and Toomes congratulated him again. Asking about the corsage, Peter just thrust it at Liz, unable to take his eyes from Toomes, horror and dread on his face.
"Poor Peter, I can't imagine what he's going through." Betty said.
"I can." Bruce thought back on Betty and General Ross being after him.
"I guess you'd know about the bad guy being your girls father, eh Bruce?" Tony said, dragging his science bro into a one armed hug, as Bruce protested.
"He's going to give it away, acting so suspicious." Natasha frowned.
"He's young and untrained." Clint pointed out. "He clearly doesn't really do espionage at all."
Taking photos, Peter just stared at Toomes as Liz and her mother smiled happily. Toomes then revealed he was their lift to the dance on his way out of town, telling Liz's mother that this was his last ever job and he would be a stay at home dad from then on.
"So this is it, the big job they were talking about." Steve remarked.
"Yeah, he went for my tech, remember? I remember Spider-Man saving it all for Happy." Tony stated.
"Again, on the run meant didn't really pay attention to the news." Steve grinned as Tony smiled tightly back. That period would still be a little tense for him, no matter how much they'd tried to put that water back under the bridge.
They got in the car and drove to the dance as Liz laughed at photos and tried to draw Peter into it with no success, Toomes swore he had met Peter before, but as Liz explained he skipped out on Decathlon and was at her party, Toomes put it together, grinning at Peter as he did.
"SHIT!" Scott yelled, as the original Avengers called out "Language!" even if they didn't sound like they had the heart to do it.
"He knows. Oh God, he's gonna kill Peter!" Cindy cried.
"Peter will be fine, we know he wins, remember?" MJ told her, as Cindy nodded.
"What will he do with the information is the main thing." Eddie spoke up.
"HE WILL TRY KILL THE SPIDER-BOY. I SAY WE EAT HIM FIRST!" Venom declared.
"We are not eating people." Eddie monotoned, the others were now pretty sure that he and this Venom had discussed eating people many times before.
"Either way, the kid has gotta think of a way out of this." Hope said.
"He will, he's a genius, we've seen it, no way my son gets outsmarted." Tony replied.
"Your son, eh?" Rhodey asked.
"Shut up." Tony hissed.
At the dance, he kept Peter back and threatened him, but thanked Peter for saving Liz' life in D.C, so he promised he would let Peter live if Peter agreed to let the Vulture stuff go, go dance with Liz and leave him to his business. Peter thanked him after he prodded it from Peter, and kicked him out.
"Wow, a real heart of gold, this one." Ned sneered.
"Was that a pun? A really bad pun?" Tony asked him.
"Maybe." Ned tried to smoothly reply. Iron Man was talking to HIM. IRON MAN. Wow. This was the best moment of Ned's life that he could remember at least.
Peter went up to Liz and apologised to her before rushing out, the Shocker was waiting for Peter, and after a short fight, had the upper hand, Peter back in his home-made suit he had stashed at Midtown. Before Shocker could deliver a killing blow, his gauntlet was pulled away by Ned using Peter's webs, Peter then webbed up Shocker and told Ned to get on the computer, to track his phone that he had left in Toome's car, as he went after him.
"Go Ned!" Everyone cheered as Ned blushed.
"I don't even remember doing this, but I got to help Peter? That's awesome." Ned said.
"Even without any powers, you're a real hero." MJ told her best friend.
"I guess." Ned agreed.
"Glad that Shocker guy got dealt with, he was crazy." Flash stated.
Peter stole Flash's car and began to chase after him, finding him in Brooklyn eventually as Ned figured out how to work the car and called Happy to let him know what Peter had discovered about the Vulture. Realising it was moving day, Peter figured out Toomes was planning to rob the Avengers quinjet and steal Avengers weapons and tech to keep himself going.
"He planned to rob the Avengers?" Abe asked, shocked at the audacity of the Vulture.
"How didn't you know about that?" Bruce asked. "I thought it would have made headlines."
"It was kept largely under wraps." Tony told him. "We put out that it was highly sensitive and valuable materials, but we kept the Avengers name out of the story."
"I still can't believe that Spider-Man stole my parents car." Flash bemoaned. "I mean, sure, clearly it was needed, and he helped save the day with it, but it wasn't mine!"
"With how you treated his civilian identity, I'd be glad he doesn't want revenge on you." Natasha warned him, Flash gulped as he worked out the threat behind those words. Even if Peter wouldn't seek revenge for what Flash did to him, Natasha still may do.
Confronting Toomes, Toomes told Peter why he was doing what he was doing and saying how he admired Peter's determination, how Peter should be working with him, how men like Tony Stark didn't care about the little guy, the guys who fought their wars and cleaned up their messes.
"Peter will never work with a creep like him. He's killed people, he plans to endanger more!" Tony said.
"I mean, I can see his point at least." MJ said, as people turned to look at her, Tony's eyes blazing.
"What exactly does that mean? I'm an Avenger, I've saved the world a few times, and I've saved thousands of lives."
"I know that." MJ said. "Toomes doesn't see that though. He only sees what he lost due to Stark Industries and you personally, he sees how throughout history, the average man has just been made to bleed and die and suffer so the rich can stay rich and the powerful can get more power. What he's doing is wrong, and from what I know of Spider-Man, and what I've seen of Peter, he won't let him get away with it. But Toomes does have a valid point, even if he's going about it wrong." MJ explained.
"It still isn't right." Tony hissed.
"I know, but it's his truth." MJ replied.
He then sent his suit out, which missed Peter but took out the building supports, Toomes then hopped into the suit and away as the rest of the warehouse collapsed onto Peter, crushing him beneath the rubble.
"PETER!" The audience cried out. There was no way this had happened, had it? He was in his home-made onesie, how was he meant to do anything with this? A whole building had fallen on him, how was he meant to get out without any Stark tech to help him? Would Tony come by to rescue him?
"Peter..." Tony whispered, eyes filling with tears at the sight. He didn't remember much about the kid, but he knew he was supposed to care for him, dammit. Where was he, anyway?! How could he have taken the suit from Peter, let him go out by himself, let him fight this dangerous criminal without any type of support? How could he live with himself if something happened to Peter now?
"Guys, we need to all stay calm about this scene." Spider-Man 2 spoke up.
"He's under a building! How can we stay calm about that?" Ned asked, face red.
"We know he gets out of it, remember?" Spider-Man 3 said. "We've all met Spider-Man after this."
Peter struggled to free himself, seeing his reflection in a pool of water, he realised that he didn't need a fancy Stark tech suit to be Spider-Man, Spider-Man was who he was already. Struggling, he managed to lift several tonnes of concrete off of him and stagger outside.
"COME ON SPIDER-MAN!" Roared the Decathlon team and most of the Avengers.
"That's my boy!" Tony cheered as everyone looked at him. He didn't care, he saw Peter as his son already, let them stare.
"Come on Peter." Ned, MJ and Happy whispered.
"Is he stronger than us?" Spider-Man 2 asked Spider-Man 3.
"Definitely close."
Toomes launched towards Avengers Tower in the distance as Happy sent the Quinjet off, unaware of the threat it was in, Peter webbed himself to the edge of Toomes' suit and followed him into the air, unnoticed as Toomes reached the Quinjet.
"Go get him Spider-Man!" The Decathlon and Scott yelled.
Toomes got inside the cockpit and cloned the transponder, showing Happy a feed of a drone heading to Avengers HQ, as Happy celebrated his success. Peter struggled to cling to the outside of the jet as Toomes began to program the Quinjet to a new location where he could scavenge the tech inside.
"He's making a mockery of my forehead of security." Tony growled.
"I offered it then and I'll offer it now. My resignation. I shouldn't have dismissed whatever warnings Spider-Man sent me. I shouldn't have gotten duped like that." Happy frowned.
"I said at the time and I'll say it now. I don't accept it, Happy." Tony told him. "Besides, if I do have to die, I need you to look after Morguna, Peter and Pep for me."
"You know I will, Tony." Happy nodded. "I'd do anything for them and for you."
"I know buddy. It's why you're my forehead of security."
Toomes marvelled at his success as Peter managed to nudge the altitude seal, alerting Toomes that he was there, Toomes let out a cry of rage before rushing back to his suit, and launching from the jet, attacking Peter. The two of them fought, destroying the planes engines as the jet began to crash towards Coney Island, Happy noticing the crashing plane and realising Ned had been telling him the truth about there being a risk to the plane.
"YOU WON'T HURT PETER!" Natasha yelled at the screen.
"That's what you get." Steve nodded, seeing the plane crashing and the chances of Toomes getting his big score fading away.
"Peter really saved my bacon." Happy noted.
'Not bad kid.' Spider-Man 2 thought.
As Peter struggled away from the wreckage, Toomes launched himself again, picking Peter up with his talons, he prepared to kill him, before noticing the box of Arc reactors nearby, he dropped Peter, all thoughts of revenge gone, and headed to collect his prize.
"IF YOU TRY AND KILL HIM, THERE WILL BE NO HOLE YOU CAN HIDE IN THAT I WILL NOT BLOW UP AND FUCKING END YOUR MISERABLE EXISTENCE!" Tony screamed, before Toomes dropped Peter.
"At least he isn't entirely blinded by hatred. He values his money more than any thoughts of revenge and killing." Cindy stated.
"Nah, I want Spider-Man to mess him up." Flash replied.
Peter tried to web him, noticing his wings about to explode, but Toomes cut the webbing and rose into the air, the wings exploding and sending him crashing to Earth. Peter raced into the fire and cut Toomes free, dragging him away from the burning wreck.
"God, he's such a hero." Betty sighed.
"I WILL ADMIT, HE IS NOT ENTIRELY AS BAD AS WE FIRST THOUGHT." Venom told Eddie.
"What do you mean, not as bad, he's clearly a good guy, clearly Jameson got it wrong." Eddie hissed as Venom stuck his head back out.
"WELL I THOUGHT HE MADE SOME VALID POINTS, EDDIE!"
"He clearly didn't."
"Is this domestic usual for you two?" Clint smirked as they watched Eddie and Venom argue.
"NO!"
"Yes."
"So, yes then." MJ nodded as Venom glared at her, she merely raised an eyebrow in response.
Happy arrived at the scene with the DoDC and FBI to find Toomes webbed to a post, with a note from Spider-Man, as Peter watched from atop a nearby roller-coaster, bloodied and bruised but victorious.
"YAY FOR PETER!" Abe yelled as the room cheered.
Peter and Ned walked through school following the fights, to see Liz and her mother, Peter briefly spoke with Liz, apologising for her dad, she said she was moving to another part of the country and hoped Peter would take care of himself.
"I feel for her. Not her fault that her dad was a maniacal prick." Flash said.
"Maybe a fresh start would be good for her." Bruce pondered. "Gives her a chance to get away from all of this."
At the next Decathlon meeting, MJ was appointed their leader and properly introduced herself, saying her friends called her MJ, to Peter.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, MJ." Ned said as she slapped him in the back of the head.
Happy met Peter in the toilets and drove him to Avengers HQ to meet Tony, who offered him a spot on the Avengers, his dream, Peter thanked him but turned it down, thinking he should be a friendly neighbourhood Spider-Man. Tony said he respected the decision, before asking if it was a test, Tony said it was and Peter passed, and Happy would take Peter home.
"He...he turned down being an Avenger?" Flash asked, stunned, as were the rest of the room that had barely interacted with Spider-Man before.
"I thought Spider-Man was an Avenger?" Ned questioned Tony.
"I made him one with Thanos, but this was before all of this."
"Why do I get the feeling this wasn't a test, and him being a cinnamon roll just upended all of your plans?" Natasha ribbed Tony, whose face turned red.
"I have no idea what you're on about." Tony insisted.
"So that's a yes." MJ remarked.
Pepper then left the next room to ask where Peter was and the press were restless, Tony then asked about a diversion, and Happy tossed him a ring he had carried since 2008, as Tony chose to propose to Pepper in front of the press to save face.
``You did that just to cover up Spider-Man turning you down?" Ned asked, remembering seeing that report on the news.
"I mean, it's not like I wouldn't have done it eventually anyway. Pepper, she's the one thing I couldn't live without." Tony explained.
"2008? That's a tad creepy." Hope told Happy who blushed.
"Well you know, I just had a feeling that I'd need it one day, it'd just come like, blam." Happy told them.
Peter got home to find his Spider-Man suit waiting for him, putting it on, he felt whole again, until Aunt May appeared behind him, asking what was going on.
"Oh God. This kid is incapable of keeping his identity a secret." Wong said.
"Wait..." Ned said, getting a flash from something else, a report, he thought he saw before.
'SPIDER-MAN'S NAME IS PETER PARKER!'
'Where did that come from?" Ned muttered to himself.
The scene then cut to Toomes meeting Scorpion in prison, Scorpion said he had heard Toomes knew who Peter was, and demanded to know so they could kill him and his friends. Out of respect for Peter saving him and saving Liz, Toomes lied and said if he knew, Spider-Man would already be dead. The screen then cut to black.
"Well, he's a bad guy, but he has a sense of honour. That's respectable at least." Sam said.
"This Scorpion, need to make sure he never gets wind of who Peter is." Tony said, mostly to himself. "Can't let him hurt Peter."
That's Homecoming finished! As for the script parts, only got No Way Home to do now, done the rest. As for this fic post all of what I've already set out, I'm considering redoing my old Avengers watch the films fic, and maybe making a new fic where they do them all.
