START CHAPTER
Peter Parker, Stark Industries
"I'm not that kind of doctor. Maybe my beard bro could, but he's off being mystical and stuff."
"Not to dissect or anything crazy like that. More like extract and decode information stored in someones blood."
"Why is that important? Sounds like they're backing up their music playlist and keeping it close to their heart."
"It's information Hydra has been gathering on everyone, powers, strengths, weakness, names."
"Aww it should have been music, then they could listen to their hearts if they had one."
"The agent who has the information is listening to her heart so she definitely has one."
"Oh nice a lady."
"I wouldn't hit on her. She's from a SHIELD outfit called Grey Blade. Edgy name equals edgy people.."
"Got it, edgy ain't my thing anyways. I have some equipment I used back in the day when I was into that crazy Extremis stuff. Should be able to detect any kind of tech or foreign objects in someones body. As for extracting it…might be a little more difficult. Why not have Parker help you out? He seems to be realigning well."
"He doesn't have anything set up for full body scans and most of his systems are being used for the recovery service that will go live soon."
"Fair enough. You got a way I can contact you or something, I don't think there's a Spidey hotline."
"Just use this number right here, should go through to me or one of Peter's leads Anna." Spidey says while using a marker to write on a table."
"Come on this furniture is expensive. And where did you get a dry erase marker?"
"I keep one stashed in my web shooters. Just need to design a Pez dispenser and I should be set."
"Nooice. I'll call you in a couple hours once I fix and set em up. Thanks for bringing me in on this, good way to comeback and make a bang."
"Just don't blow yourself up."
With that Peter left the Stark Industries tower and went back to the Baxter basement. It was getting pretty late, but he needed to check in on Teresa and Anna, maybe get some sleep, and then continue the fight the next day. Even if the fight hadn't started yet.
Peter Parker, Baxter Building, Saturday morning
NOTE: I shifted to a different method of denoting who is talking at this point. It is a test of sorts let me know if it works or not
Another night without a bed, another morning of knots in your neck. Once he got back from Tony's place, Anna and Teresa had already knocked out on a perfectly ghetto built cardboard bed. Then he realized there was none left for him so he was depressed that he was going to sleep badly. Would have been smarter to up to his room, but he needed to be near by just in case.
After getting up and ridding himself of the knots Peter didn't have long to relax. He was expecting Tony to call anytime now, but didn't know exactly when. Miles and his group were also supposed to meet him on the rooftop so he could fill them in on the situation. Even more important right now is that he needed to get breakfast for 3 before the rest happened.
'Guess MJ is going to have to wait longer for her 'fancy dinner'. Gotta dig into the piggybank a bit if I'm going to feed 3 people right now.'
Peter needed something cheap, but filling. And the perfect place early in the morning was Bulk's Bagel's. Bulk's had some of the best bagels in New York loaded with whatever you wanted, egg and bacon, cream cheese and pickles, plain if you were boring, or whatever whacky combination you could come with.
'Bagels are considered sandwiches if you have stuff in the middle. Guess it's still Starcuts in a way.'
A few different kinds of bagels and he'd have a decent meal for the ladies with some drinks from a convenience store to wash it all down. Peter arrived quickly once he had everything in his possession for the best breakfast that ever happened in a basement…..filled with servers…..when you have a perfectly good skyscraper above you….and the government is possibly after you because they've been hijacked by Nazi's. Best Breakfast Ever.
"Hey ladies, nice to see you're up. Got some breakfast for us." - Peter
"It better not be pizza again. Harry's been saying you're eating it like it's out of style." - Anna
"It's bagels this time." - Peter
"OOOOO what kind of bagels did you bring!" - Teresa
"The good ones" - Peter says as he spreads out the bagelly goods.
Peter chooses a bacon and egg bagel while Teresa and Anna start off easy with cream cheese and ham bagels.
"So how'd it go last night." - Teresa
"I got someone to help get that list out of you. He should be ready sometime today and will either call Anna or muoah when he has everything set up." - Peter
"It better not be some creepy street doctor." - Teresa
"He might be creepy to some, isn't from the streets, but is a doctor." - Peter
"Better be true to your word, I don't want a weirdo with my contact information." - Anna
Once they had finished up breakfast Peter and Anna went off and once again checked the servers and discussed the roll out of the information retrieval. A cascading release would help keep the usage on the servers under control without the whole world trying to get access to them. The bandwidth they would be using is enormous, but Reed Richards wasn't a genius for no reason. He had built, funded and negotiated to have the Baxter Building hooked up to one of the fastest internet backbones in the United States and the Baxter building is able to utilize it free of charge thanks to Richards contributions. It made the Baxter building even more valuable in the eyes of tech heavy companies, but thankfully it wasn't in anyone else hands. Once this service was live he could focus on what to do with everything else that was laying around. Maybe he could split it amongst the Mansion and where ever Stark keeps his things. Sharing is caring so he might as well get rid of things the foundation didn't urgently need and share whatever they could.
*Beep*
Peter's phone beeped meaning he got a message from someone. He checked it and saw it wasn't just a someone but someones. The mini Avengers were on the roof waiting to talk to him. He didn't realize it was already the time he had set up to address them. He technically did break the no communication rule by texting the teens yesterday, but everyone's devices were set up to encrypt any communications, ATT or whoever they had as a provider definitely wouldn't be able to snoop. But they would be able to tell information was coming and going from his and the teens devices.
'Hopefully Hydra can't decrypt or we are royally fucked. Especially if I helped them figure out who the kids REALLY are if they didn't already.'
When Peter finally arrived on the roof in his armor he saw the entire ensemble of heroes standing around lazily obviously waiting for him.[The entire Champions team is present along with Lana(Bombshell) and Goldballs(Fabio).]
"Took you long enough Spider-Man." - Lana says obviously annoyed.
"Sorry lost track of time, a lot has happened since I texted you guys last night." - Peter responds.
"We'll hopefully you don't leave your bride waiting for you at the altar when that time comes." - Lana returns.
"Ouch." - Peter outwardly says, remembering that he actually did that.
"Enough of all the hate I wouldn't have called you guys if it wasn't important. Something big is going to happen soon and us heroes are going to try and get ahead of the game for once."
"Intergalactic demons?"
"Crab people?"
"A man made singularity?"
"That's all nonsense except for the demons and MAYBE the crab people. The threat is man made and something you've all faced recently, lets get inside first before I name He Who Should Not Be Named."
Peter takes the group down into the super secret medical bay, a place he knows is safe from snoopers.
"Hydra is back and I need you guys to be our on high alert in the area." - Peter says once the door is closed.
Everyone gave Peter the obvious "You've got to be kidding me" face and a few including Lana graced the bay with a well deserved "What the fuck."
"To keep it short Hydra has a list of heroes and who they are and a lot of information on them including family. I don't know if anyone of you is on the list, but it's safe to assume you are."
"What about our families?" - Kamala
"It's up to you to decide, I can't force you to do one thing or another. But I'll at least need Spider-Man nearby to help out here and be on the lookout." - Peter says while gesturing towards Miles.
"Alright, but what do you need me for?" - Miles
"I need some security for an important VIP who gave us this windfall of information. The Avengers are looped in also and rallying for help, Scott you can help with that too. Beast and Rogue can't call all the X-Men but it would be nice to have the original X-Men ready. With that list of super powered beings Hydra is planning to slowly, or swiftly maybe, to take us out since their takeover didn't work out. You're free to stay and watch out for your families, but we'll be spread thin since Hydra is in every major US agency. They could do anything at anytime including legal problems for any of us. We can strike back at them since we also have a list of Hydra agents, but that will be later on once everyone is rallied. Do what you feel is right, but be smart and try not to act paranoid or over react we need to keep some element of surprise. Also, only message if you absolutely have to, I know I called this meeting through a text, but we don't know if they have a means to see our messages." - Peter
The heroes slowly started filing out to handle this their own ways. Peter didn't like leaving them to do their own thing, but they have lives outside of all this, the only right thing he could do is give them the heads up and let them handle it however they wanted. He wouldn't feel comfortable if Aunt May was possibly being watched by Hydra. Thankfully he had a Spider Tracker on her jewelry so he would know if something was wrong. That thought of Aunt May gave him an idea that he should probably do later on.
"So you needed me to protect someone?" - Miles.
"Ya I need you to protect my "sister", but also I have some cool stuff for you to try out." -Peter says using air quotes to describe Teresa and prime Miles for some of Peter's inventions.
END CHAPTER
A/N: So starting off I kinda forced really hard in including Tony Stark and him being the guy to get the stuff out of Teresa. PI DOES have tech somewhere to do the job since they did cancer research and all that other fancy medical research stuff, but having Stark doing it adds another character that Peter would run into anyways and tie into Triumvirate idea I have. So lose points somewhere to gain points somewhere more important here with hopefully a better pay off later.
This chapter is also a short one and I somewhat rushed the last parts of this chapter to just get it out. I don't start work until April 30th, but I've been busy at home doing chores and getting stuff ready for summer and my dads work. Along with having family stuff like every day basically I haven't been able to write or plan much. This week is also Infinity War so Friday I won't be home in the afternoon but I'll be planning in the morning when I wake up. THEN on Saturday and Sunday I'll be at my grandma's for a birthday party so I might be able to plan, but that's not a given. THEN I start working on Monday, so ya I'm swamped for a bit. The earliest next update will be May 7th at this point. If it's later than that then its probably because I'm still figuring out how to tie out this arc(maybe two more chapters again?), figure out where I'll go after this, and flesh out the details for a 2nd arc I think would be really cool(like super epic if I can pull it off).
This chapter should have been longer, but I wanted to rush it out and make sure this story isn't perceived of having died a premature death. Writing to reach a specific word count is always hard and even though I've passed AP English exams and wrecked my general essays in college, in depth writing/analysis and all the planning and organizing I've hated since writing is one of the most annoying things to do when your class grade depends on it. Even though this is for fun and there are limitless ways of going about planning and organizing for a character whose been around for decades, some benchmarks/standards still need to apply in some way to make it enjoyable to read.
REVIEWS ARE ALWAYS A NOICE THING SO WRITE ONE IF YOU CAN.
