We are still in the time period between Age of Ultron and Civil War. The next caper happens about 6 months after Ultron.
Steve was in his office going over reports. The Avengers had been in their new headquarters for a couple months now. The SHIELD Compound would be done in another 6 weeks or so. Things had been delayed due to the heavey rain they had over the last month. Luckily SHIELD's Headquarters was mostly done and water tight or the new tunnle that ran fron Avenger Headquarters to SHIELD Headquarters would have been flooded.
It took a couple weeks to get the Avenger Compound fully moved into but Steve was glad it was done. Fury had taken one of the offices for himself. He was going to stay at Avenger tower but it was decided that since both SHIELD and the Avengers would be headquartered out of the compound he would have his office here too. Coulson and Maria were working out of the New York office located in Avenger Tower till construction was completed at the compound.
The only other SHIELD agents at the comound at the moment were the security teams that were resposible for the security of both compounds, The personel working at the SHIELD airfield and the ones that worked in Avenger Headquarters. The Command Center was fully man as well as the medical/science areas.
In the 6 months since Ultron was defeted the Avengers had sent team members out twice. Once to backup a SHIELD STRIKE team and once for a possible sighting of Bucky. Natasha and T'Challa had backed up the STRIKE team while Steve and Sam had checked out the sighting of Bucky.
Steve came out of his thoughts when there was a knock on his door. "Come in" called Steve.
Tony walked in to pick Steve and the twins up All four were going to queens and visit May and Peter Parker. Spiderman had been spotted around New York and it was decide to approch him before he got himself in trouble or someone hurt because he was untrained. James and Sarah were going since they new Peter. Though Peter had no idea who James and Sarah's parents were. Happy would pick the kids up and take them back to the Tower were they would be flown to the compound in a Quinjet. So far Steve and Natasha had kept the twins out of the media.
"Morning Capsicle." greeted an amussed Tony.
"Tony, let me get the twins then we can go." said Steve.
"I'm surprised they weren't at the hanger waiting on me when I arrived." asked Tony.
"They are with the others in the training room." answered Steve.
Tony laughed at that. It was well known that the two loved to train with the adult Avengers. They were hoping to change their parents mind about the 18 and graduated rule.
"Call them and let go. Happy is waiting at the Tower to drive us to Queens." Tony said.
Steve called Nat over the radio and she brought James and Sarah to the landing pad next to headquarters. She was staying at Headquarters in case something came up. She would have gone with them but with Steve and Fury going to be gone she had to remain. It would be easier once Phil and Maria moved to the Compound. They all agreed that one of them had to be her in case of trouble so they could monitor things from the command center.
They were even talking about building a small housing community just down the road from the Compound for those who did not want to live at the compound. So far Steve and Natasha had talked about moving in to a house near by and Fury was looking for one also. , Both Phil and Maria where talking about living on the compound for now since they were single. The rest of the Avengers would alo be living at Headquarters since they were all single. Tony had brought up the idea of building their own that way those of the Avengers and SHIELD that work on the Compound would live close by in case of an emegency.

James and Sarah were folowing their mother out to the landing pad so they could go surprise their friend Peter.
"I can't wait to see is face when he finds out who we realy are and who our parents are." said and excited James.
Sarah just rolled her eyes "Yes I know. You might have mentioned it once or twice or was about a 100 times."
Natasha sensing an argument about to break out. "Enough yo two or you wont go. Now come on your father and Stark are waiting."
S/N
Happy pulled up in front of the home of May and Peter Parker. Steve ad Tony got out folowed by the twins. Tony knocked on the door and a woman around 55 answered the door.
"Yes" asked a cunfused May Parker.
"Mrs. Parker I am Tony Stark beside me is Captain Steven Rogers. May we come in and speak with you and Peter?" Asked Tony.
May's eyes gone wide in surprise. She knew who they were and was cunfussed to why they wanted to talk with her and Peter.
"Yes please come in. Peter is next door visiting his friend Mary Jane. Is every thing OK. Peter is not in trouble is he?" a worried May asked.
Steve spoke "No Mrs. Parker. He is not in any trouble. My to children are friends of Peter. These are James and Sarah. Please don't tell anyone about who they realy are." May agreeded. "The two of them have notice a couple things that we would like to speak with Peter about and it is best done with you present. Could you please call him and ask him to come home?"
May called Peter and he walked in a few minutes later. "Aunt Ma..."
Peter stoped at seeing his friend sitting to who Peter knew as Captain America. He was brought out of his shock by May.
James and Sarah were trying to hold in their laughter. Peter sat next to his Aunt. He looked at his friends who were smirking at him.
"James, Sarah what's going on?" asked a cunfussed Peter.
"Peter I am Steve Rogers and this is Tony Stark. We would like to speak to you about Spiderman." Steve told him.
Peter was worried now. How could they know. "Spiderman, what about him?"
Sarah answered "Peter we know who Spiderman is. We ave an offer for him but it requires that he come clean to certain people." Sarah glanced at a cunfussed May.
Peter knew he was going to have to tell his Aunt May. He wasn't sure how she would take the news. He took a deep breath.
"Aunt May, a few months ago when I went on that field trip I got bitten by a spider. Ever since then I have developed certain abilities. After Uncle Ben was killed I became Spiderman to help others." Peter held his breath waitng.
May didn't know what to say. Peter, her Peter was Spiderman. "Why didn't you say anything?" asked May.
"I felt it was safe if no one knew. I'm surprised James and Sarah figured it out." explained Peter.
Tony spoke up reminding the two they had guest. "Mrs. Parker, now that he as come to our attintion we have a deal for him. One we need your approval for."
"What kind of deal? I don't want him off fighting bad guys." May replied.
James spoke "Mrs. Parker. He wouldn't. Sara and I inhearited are parents abilities but due to our age we are not allowed on missions."
"James and I have een traing for years but there is a rule in place that states no missions till we are 18 and graduated High School. Peter would fall under that rule if he agreed to the deal my Dad and Uncle Tony have for him." explained Sarah.
"The deal is he will be able to train with the twins and the other Avengers and be able to work with Tony as an internship. The internship would also be the cover as to why he goes to Avenger Tower. He would work with Tony and other scientist to further his education in science. Every now and then during the school year he would come out to the Avenger Compound to train. This is so he learns how to handle his abilities so he and others don't get hurt. In order for these things to happen he would have to reframe from going out as Spiderman till he gets the approval of the councle that the Avengers fall under." explained Steve.
"I don't now. I really don't like him being Spiderman. I now know he has the abilities and it all is a shock." May explained.
"We understand Mrs. Parker. What we are offering is a chance for him to learn how to use his abilities safely. With out the training he could accidentally hurt some one. With this deal also it keeps him from going out doing what your worried about. He will also be able to learn from some of the best scientific minds out there which will help him when he graduates High School. If he takes the internship with Stark Indistries he will recieve a full scholership to collage. If he goes to collage which I hope he does he will be listed as a part time Avenger if he chose to join after he turns 18." explain Tony.
Peter asked "What if I don't agree?"
Steve spoke up. "Then you take the greater chance of hurting some one. With out the training we provide the chances are greater.. There are never any guaranties someone wont get hurt but with training the chance of it happening lower a great deal. If your out being Spiderman and some one gets hurt then you have to face the consequences alone. Which might end up with you in jail."
Sarah added "If you take the deal Peter, don't go out and be Spiderman behind everyone's back. You don't want to be called to Dad's office or worse our Mom's." Sarah shivered at the thought the one and only time she and James got called it their Mom's office.
"Who is your Mom?" asked Peter.
"You know her as the Black Widow." James told him with a smirk.
Peter paled at the thought of facing an angery Black Widow. He turned to his Aunt May. "Aunt May I kow you don't realy like this but I want to take them up on the offer."
"You will follow their rules and do as your told?" ask May. Peter nodded.
She face Steve "I am not all that comfortable about this but it seems like a good opportunity for Peter. So I will agree to it."
Peter tried to keep his excitment inside him. He didn't want them to take it back.
Steve told may if she wanted she was welcome to come take a tour of both the Tower and the Compound and see how things were run. She took him up on is offer so 20 mnutes later Happy was drivig them all to the Tower.
The tour of the Tower did not take long. Tony walked them through the lab area and the communal floor. He explaind that each Avenger had quarters at the Tower for when they were in New York. Once that was done Tony get Peter setup with limited access to the Tower and the Compound. Steve explained that because of Peter's status he was not allowed in some of the working parts of the Tower or Compound with out an escort.
When they were done they took the Quinjet to the Compound. Natasha was waiting for them when they landed.
As they walked down the ramp Natasha greeted them. "Welcome to the Avenger Headquarted and Compound Mrs. Parker, Peter. I am Natasha Rogers. Steves second and the one in charge of the kids training."
"Thank you." answered May, while Peter looked around in wonder.
"If you follow us to the communal area we will go over a few things before we start the tour." directed Steve.
When they were all seated Steve started to expain some things. "In the Avengers part of the compound we have the Headquarters building and a hanger bay. The hanger bay is off limits with out an adult Avenger.
Peter you will have a room set up for you here. You will have full access to the residential area, the communal area and the library. The command and Administration section is off limits unless you are requested. Then one of the staff will escort you. You have access to medical and the labs but you are asked to stay out of the labs unless there is someone there. Tony will be in charge of any lab time you have. Try to stay out of the medical area unless you are hurt. They are not usually busy with patients but thay do have things going on. The training rooms are off limits when you are not training and an adult avenger needs to be present. There is a gym in the training area you can use when ever you want.
Now outside the Avenger Compound is the part of the Compound that SHIELD uses. It is still under construction so the have not moved operation her yet. Mrs. Parker you will be given visiter access. If you decide to drive up here you will just need to show your ID at the main gate and the guards will direct you where to go." May nodded in thanks.
"If there are no questions we can start the tour." instructed Steve.
The tour started with the areas were the Avengers lived. They got to meet Wanda and Vision but Pietro and Sam were out since they had the afternoon and Sunday off. They then walked through the training area followed but the Lab/Medical area. Dr. Cho introduced herself and told Peter when he started training that a full physical will be done before they started. They then walked out to the hanger bay and looked at the Quinjets the Avegers used for training and missions.
Once the tour was done they had dinner in the dinning aea used bty the Avengers living at the Compound. After dinner Tony flew May and Peter back to New York.
So Peter has been approached and offered a deal. Will he be able to stick to it or will he go out and help people as Spiderman. Next chapter may be a couple days away unless I get time to work on it this evening.
