As the day progressed and school ended, Ava found herself alone in her room on the helicarrier, it felt very cold in her room, as a matter of fact it was always like this when she went and got her own room, that is of course except for the time her and the team were invited by Peter to temporarily live with him and his Aunt May and even though they were technically walking into a strangers house the place felt like home, her room wasn't cold anymore but rather warm and cozy.

Honestly, it made no sense to her, she figured it had to be something with her powers because somehow even when the furnace went out in the basement and Peter would take up to 30 minutes to an hour to fix it, she still felt warm inside the house, why was that the case? She had no idea but what she did know was that she didn't live it there anymore so anything that happened in that household was none of her business or concern anymore.

Besides, she would have no time to worry about what was going on in the Parker household, as it was becoming that time of the month again, and no it's not that. For those who don't understand here's a little biology lesson, female tigers enter estrus (heat) every three to nine weeks, with it only lasting three to six days, since the White Tiger amulet mimics the abilities, attributes, and traits of a tiger, that meant Ava falls victim to the reproductive hormones of a female tiger while keeping the reproductive organs of a human.

But luckily for her, the reception period is super short and if one was strong willed enough, it would be practically unnoticeable, but unfortunately life would never be so kind as the amulet not only gave her tiger almost but it made her human hormones and pheromone senses even stronger, meaning she had to avoid the guys at all costs when in this state as just a whiff of the fresh sweat coming from their bodies would send her into a sex frenzy, but fortunately she would usually have help to deal with this specific time in the form of Director Fury, Agent Hill, and Agent Coulson, of course she originally didn't want to tell them about this, but she would come to realize that she would have no choice but to.

Thankfully those three are especially good at keeping secrets because if the guys found out, she would never hear the end of it from Nova, Luke and Danny would probably not judge as much but they would never look at her the same, and Peter, well she didn't know about Peter, he was once again a giant mystery that she could never solve, of course she knew she would never make fun of her for it, tease her maybe, but he would never make fun of her as he knew what it was like to be on the receiving end and that was another thing she adored about him, no matter what situation he was in, Parker always found himself sticking up for the little guy and defending the defenseless and she knew a lot of that came from the fact that he used to BE the little guy, so you feel sympathy for anyone who is or used to be in that position.

She appreciated the fact that at his core, Peter Parker was truly a good person and she knew for a fact that whoever he ended up marrying in the future was going to be a very lucky person because they had managed to land the world's humblest man, well maybe not humble but point still stands, now she wondered how the three agents of SHIELD was going to handle it this time because usually Fury would just rent out a small apartment in New Jersey to then sent her there and have Agent Hill brings her clothes and necessities like bathing products, food, and more clothes and most importantly tell a lie to the team to keep them from some questioning where she was, but this year was different, Peter was no longer a part of the team meaning he was no longer under Fury's command, so he was not obligated to listen at Fury told him to stop looking for her, although he might still listen since he's still carries great respect for the one-eyed man as everyone did.

She could feel the heat coming on, but she figured since she was alone and her room damn near soundproof that maybe, just maybe, she might be able to stimulate herself before coming in contact with a man as she crept her hand down to the waistband of her pants, but was interrupted by Luke knocking on the door. "Hey Ava, suit up, Coulson wants us all in the briefing room in 5." To which she responded with a "K." right before flipping off her bed and onto her feet as she grabbed her costume from the closet, quickly suiting up.


S.H.I.E.L.D Helicarrier, Above NYC, NY

Monday, September 6th, 5:30 p.m.

"Thank you for meeting me here, Team. Especially on such short notice, heh, and so punctual too! I guess Fury should have selected Miss Ayala to be Team Leader to begin with after all, haha." Agent Coulson greeted, trying to lighten the mood before giving them their mission, but no one laughed, as they all remember that their former leader left them to go solo again. "Y'know my jokes were funnier when Mr Parker was here."

"No they weren't." They all said in unison, with his fun completely ruined the team had managed to wipe the smile off Coulson's face as he just gave them their mission.

"Alright look, about an hour ago, SHIELD Watchtowers had taken this photo." He said as he showed a picture of a man slinging through the city, he wore a all red suit below a blue hoodie with the sleeves torn off and a spider logo on it along with some accessories like a utility belt and what seemed to be extra web cartridges around his wrists, the eyes of his mask were also completely white instead of being outlined with black like Peter's, "Now I'm sure you all are confused as to why I'm showing you a picture of Mr Parker, let me assure you this is not him, after school ended Mr Parker could be seen heading to the library with Miss Watson and Harry Osborn and hasn't left said library since, meaning this man isn't Peter Parker."

"Your mission is to find and capture this…. Imposter Spider-Man and bring them back here, got it?"

"Shouldn't we include Spidey in this? He may no longer be a part of the team, but that's a spider person, which falls in Spider-Man territory." Luke tried to reason but Coulson was hearing none of it.

"As you said yourself Mr Cage, Spider-Man is no longer a part of his team and must have no jurisdiction over SHIELD matters whether it be spider people or not." He said, as grabbed all the case files he had with him and left.

The Team didn't know what to say, they looked down in conflict and truth be told it was warranted as they all had yet to accept the fact that Spider-Man was probably not coming back to the team, even though they wanted them to so badly, even Sam, but the argument between him and Fury was the stick that broke the camel's back.

After budding heads on different opinions on different methods, Peter decided that he couldn't work under Fury anymore and quit the team and even though his problem was with the Director and not them, the team still found Peter to be cold to them when in costume, refusing to work together whenever the opportunity arrived, as far as they knew, as far as Parker was concerned, as long as they were in costume, they were SHIELD agents in which that line of thinking wouldn't be incorrect, they were SHIELD's personal team of superheroes, well, more like super teens, but that didn't mean he cut them off completely, as a matter of fact, Peter actually went out of his way to let them know that if they ever needed a place to stay Aunt May's door was open.

As they all took a jump ship to the ground, one question was running through their heads, "Should we call Peter?", But they all quickly shook the ideas off as they realized Fury would probably have their heads, they'd probably get lectured for failing the mission, but it wasn't just Peter who was acting strange, they all noticed that something was also off about Fury, he was a lot more on edge and serious lately, always in a bad mood, not that he was ever in a good one, but it was just worse than usual."

Before Spidey left, whenever they would fail a mission (which only went wrong when Spidey would decide to throw away the plan Fury gave them and come up with his own), the one eyed man would be angry but Pete always stood his ground, while his personality suggested that he was weak and scared easy, he was actually the bravest of them all, even not letting Director Fury's intimidation get to him and going as far as to challenges methods to his face, which is what Fury respected about him, no matter what Peter stayed true to his ideals and truth be told, if they had to guess as to why Fury was always in such a really bad mood, they would say that it was probably because he just missed Parker in his own weird and creepy way.

As their feet finally touched the ground, they all breathed in some fresh air before Ava gave them the rundown of their role. "All right team, here are your roles, Luke, you stay on the ground and keep an eye on anything that looks fishy, Danny, you and me stay on rooftops, Sam, you watch from the skies you'll see everything that we won't, got it? Break!" they all split up, Nova flew off, Luke jumped off the building, White Tiger and Iron Fist started jumping from building to building.
