Chapter 10 – Redemption
It is now summer, Peter is taking a break from school and Peter was lucky that he wasn't expelled from school. However, Peter is still trying to figure it out how to handle Michelle since Peter knows that she is trying to put it together and reveal his alter ego as Spider-Man which is bad for him.
As Peter begin his patrol at night, he receives a surprise visit by Detective Watanabe and this is probably the last time they'll be meeting each other.
"I never thought I see you again, web head" says Yuriko Watanabe. "I was at Wakanda to be honest, I was handling other business" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "So, what do owe you the pleasure for this meeting Detective?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Captain Stacy receive this from Washington D.C" says Yuriko Watanabe.
Yuriko hand Spidey a warrant, Ross release a warrant for Spider-Man if Spider-Man refuse to submit to the Accords then he must be shot on sight.
"I'm sorry, but Ross is planning to assemble his own Special Unit to arrest you if the NYPD Captain refuse to cooperate" says Yuriko Watanabe. "I see, how long do I have?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked.
"3-4 days at the most, I assume Iron Man knows this and he's trying his best to keep you away" says Yuriko Watanabe. "Yeah, but I need NYPD full support" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "You're a bit violent, resilient and cocky but I respect you. Look, if you're planning on doing this alone and don't even bother" says Yuriko Watanabe.
After that, Peter return back to his apartment to get some rest and he needs to find a way to stop the Accords from going too far.
[Phone calling] [Click] "Hey kid, listen I know this is the last thing I'm asking— "Ross release a warrant to arrest, correct?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Wait, how did you know…let me guess, you got a tip from a cop" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "Yup" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Peter, this is going to kill you if you're not careful and Ross is about to go over my head in this one" says Tony Stark/Iron Man.
"I know, I believe I found the proof need to stop this from going too far" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Nice, I like to…wait a minute, where did you get the proof exactly?" Tony Stark/Iron Man asked. "Well, it's any database if you have the right location from the right stuff and you can hack it" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"I see, where did you get yours?" Tony Stark/Iron Man asked. "Ross's computer at Wakanda" Peter Parker/Spider-Man admitted. "Wait a minute, you secretly hacked Ross's computer right underneath everyone's noses. Jeez kid, I know he was an evil old bag but— "It was probable cause, I had to do something" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Man, I don't even know if Cap and his notice this" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "Yeah, he did notice but he didn't stop me when I told him what I was doing" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "He's okay with this…oh, who am I kidding. Look Peter, try to be careful and Ross is not going to give up that easily" says Tony Stark/Iron Man.
Peter immediately ended the call, Peter knows he was making a dangerous game and it is worth it to stop the Accords from going too far to the edge. On the next day, Peter and his aunt is now at Central Park having a nice picnic but Peter couldn't help but wonder that they're being watched by a Federal Agent.
"This is much better, a whole day just two of us" says May Parker. "Yeah, I take it you're not mad at me" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "No Pete, I feel betrayed and lied but I can see your point" says May Parker. "So, tell me about you and Wanda Maximoff" says May Parker. "There is nothing going on between me and Wanda, May" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Apart from the kiss I assume" says May Parker. "Wait, how did you know that?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "I'm your aunt remember kiddo…plus Stark told me" says May Parker. "Look, it's my first kissing a girl since Liz move away and for the records we're just friends" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Friends are good, but maybe you should start meeting new people and making a new relationship" says May Parker. "Making new friends I will, but relationship is not happening" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
However, the Federal Agent wasn't the only one watching Peter and Black Widow was there with Hawkeye and Falcon.
Peter get his sense that the Federal Agents is here to arrest him, but before one of the agents try to approach Peter and Peter spit the water out of his mouth at one of the agents. Then, Peter shot several spiderweb at the 4 agents on his left then the 3 agents on his right but another squad of Feds begin to chase Peter as he runs.
Hawkeye and Black Widow try to keep up, but Spider-Man is running faster than an ordinary human can run.
However, the Feds surround Peter at the Staten Island Harbor and Peter quickly head for the ferry hoping the Feds won't follow him. As Peter got into the Ferry, Iron Man is already arriving after receive a call from Aunt May and Peter got on top of the Ferry to lose the agency but several Feds manage to beat him there.
"Peter Parker or Spider-Man as you're were called" says Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross. "I haven't done anything wrong" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "You didn't sign the accords, you're violating it with your vigilante act and now you must submit to the Accords" says Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross.
"The Avengers were heroes, they deserve a trial and not to be locked away from civilization. You locked the Avengers then there is no one left to protect this world" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "The world is safer without the Avengers" says Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross. "No, I still believe them" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
The Feds try to cuff Spider-Man but Spider-Man beat them up, Iron Man got to the Ferry with Black Widow and Hawkeye to stop Ross from killing the kid.
"Enough, this is gone too far Ross" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "Too late Tony, I'm acting under the Sokovia Accords and this kid is violating it" says Thaddeus Thunderbolt Ross.
However, Peter sense that a sniper was about to shoot Black Widow and he throws himself into the line fire without a second thought. The bullet hit Peter's ribs and forcing him to fall into the river, Iron Man was in rage and Iron Man beatdown every single Feds on the Ferry but Natasha manage to contain him.
"Stop it, killing him doesn't bring him back" says Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow. "This Secretary wanted to kill Peter, you think this isn't killing me" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "I know, but I'll inform Cap of what happen" says Natasha Romanoff/Black Widow.
3 weeks later, Peter was drifting in the deep water heading South and his body immediately arrive the Yucatan Peninsula where Wanda is now staying anonymously.
Wanda was living under a new name for the time being, she was doing her daily routine and she somehow found Peter drifting from the water. Wanda haven't seen Peter since Wakanda, Peter save Wanda's life and now Wanda must return the favor.
Wanda carried Peter back to her temporarily house, she tries to fix Peter's wound and Wanda learn it from the Black Widow. The bullet that hit Peter's ribs just shattered but not too damage, Wanda manage to get every piece of the bullet out of Peter's ribs and Peter was alive but asleep.
[Talking over the phone] "Wanda, it's going to hear from you" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "You too, I'm sorry to bother you and I know you're busy" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "It's okay, I don't hold any grudges on any of you" says Tony Stark/Iron Man.
"So, what's up?" Tony Stark/Iron Man asked. "I found Spider-Man" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "What…how, he was missing for 3 weeks and where is he?" Tony Stark/Iron Man asked. "He's where I am right now, Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "How is he, Wanda?" Tony Stark/Iron Man asked.
"Alive after being shot, I fixed his wounds and now he's still asleep" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "Thanks, I'll let Cap know where he is" says Tony Stark/Iron Man. "I'll see you soon, Tony" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
After Wanda inform Tony that Peter is alive, Peter is immediately awakened on the next day and Peter realize he wasn't in the raft but more like a cabin.
"Good morning, Peter" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "Wanda, where…where am I?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Yucatan Peninsula in Mexico, I found drifting in the water with blood" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
"The last thing I remember, I was at the Staten Island Ferry then the Feds shot me— "You ended up in a water and then here" Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch finished. "Yeah, I take it we're even now" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Not yet, I'm not sure if you're keeping score" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
Then, Peter and Wanda sit down at the table to have breakfast.
"This is really haven't been your days, has it?" Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch asked. "Are you kidding me, the government and Ross tried to kill me when he knows that I— "Violate the Accords and didn't sign them, yeah I know" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "I take it you either heard it from TV or you read the newspaper" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
"Actually, the newspaper was the one" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "There goes my chance" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "You know if you really want to stop the Accords, you could at least ask rather than stealing information" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "I wasn't stealing…wait a minute, how did you know that?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked.
"Well, I did notice you send your drone to hack Ross's computer and for the record only Cap and myself notice what you were doing back in Wakanda" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch. "Touché, so you want to help me then?" Peter Parker/Spider-Man asked. "Yes, but we do this together like you wanted" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
"Stronger together, okay" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Peter immediately rest for another 4 days before heading out, Peter was soon fully healed and Wanda will aid Peter for this mission.
"Here, Stark manage to send the suit to you" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch as she gives Peter the suitcase. "Thank you" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Here, you can use this to contact your aunt" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch as she gives Peter a burner phone.
Peter didn't hesitate and dialed her number, surprisingly May picks up and Peter begins to talk.
"Hello?" May Parker asked. "May" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man with tears coming down his cheek. "Peter…it's good to hear you voice again kiddo" says May Parker. "I'm sorry I got you into this mess" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "It's okay Pete, no one understand what it means to be hero but you do and you have chance so whatever it is you're doing and don't do it alone" May Parker reminded.
"I will, I'll come home and I promise" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "I see you soon" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man.
Peter hung up the phone, Aunt May was the only family he has left and Peter's not losing her too so he will show the world what it means to be a hero.
"Oh Peter, before I forget and this is from Cap" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch as she handed a letter.
Peter open the letter and starts to reading it.
Peter, I hope your wounds are healing and you should know I was proud to find someone who still believes in the Avengers. I've read your file and when I first met you, I thought people lose hope when the Avengers created the death and destruction but you prove me wrong.
Wanda is going to help you; my team will aid anyway we can and I promise you that if this worked then all of us can return home meaning no more hiding or running away.
I admitted that you got a strong heart kid, you save my teammates in the raft and I owe you that.
P.S
I believe you should accept the Avengers offer, someone like you will keep us honest.
Sincerely, Steve Rogers/Captain America.
Peter smiled after reading it, Peter reject the Avengers offer and perhaps Peter is ready to join the Avengers.
"So, are you ready for this?" Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch asked. "Yeah, but Ross and Zemo is never going to give up" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "Well, I have you and I know you don't hit girls" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
"I swear to god, I will knock your ass out and I do not care that you're a girl" says Peter Parker/Spider-Man. "I'm sure you will" says Wanda Maximoff/Scarlet Witch.
Peter and Wanda immediately head for the airport, they're destination is none other than Siberia where Tony and Steve go separate ways.
