Author's Note: I will try to get this one finished as soon as I can cause I wanna do more for this universe but I need the basic set up done first. A friend of mine pointed me to a website called Kisscartoons. They have all of the series so I'm back on track. Sorry the updates are taking so long. Been crazy busy at my jobs. I own nothing.

That Way

"No. No. No. Nien. Nei. Het. No. I did not sign up to be part of a team." Agent Coulson sighed rubbing the bridge of his nose.

"It's not a team it's a program." Spidey didn't let him finish.

"Don't even try to feed me that bullshit. I know how well your team-ups go. And don't even try to tell me I'm wrong. You of all people should know what happens when SHIELD gets heroes together." With that she turned on her heel and stalked off towards the elevator. As she left the room she heard White Tiger shouting happily.

"Yes! No toilets for the Tiger!" Spidey shook her head, she really didn't want to know. She stormed up to the elevator and slammed her hand into the button. After a moment the doors opened and Piper almost balked at the sight of Nick Fury standing in the elevator.

"Ummm. I'll take the next one." A moment passed and the doors didn't close. Piper peeked into the elevator and saw that Fury was holding the button so the doors wouldn't close. Sighing she stepped into the elevator and pushed the button for the hanger. There was an awkward silence.

"So you're leaving then?" Piper nodded.

"Yeah and you should know perfectly well why. Things like this, teams like this, they always come at a price. They never start off well, and someone always gets hurt. And someone else has to live with it." Fury nodded slowly.

"True. You'd know that more than most. After the Battle of New York, you almost lost everything again. I can understand that feeling." Piper sighed.

"Look I don't know your story, doubt anyone really does, so maybe you can. If so, you should know exactly why I'm saying no. They all seem cool, even the bucket head. But I won't be responsible for their lives. If they wanna risk their lives that's their call. But I can't be responsible for them." The doors opened and Piper stepped out but before she could walk away Fury grabbed her elbow.

"Kid take some time to think about this alright. These kids are completely new to this. They need someone who's been at this a while, who's got the training and experience and mentors you have. Just think about it kid. You lot could be the next team of greats, the next Avengers." Piper paused for a moment before she tapped the web shooter on the wrist causing it to reappear. She pulled it off her wrist and handed it back to Fury who shook his head at it. He let go of her elbow.

"Good luck kid. Let me know if you change your mind." Piper nodded and walked off down the hallway and out to the hanger. One of the technicians opened the bay doors for her as they flew past one of the taller skyscrapers and Piper swung off. She was a few buildings away when she finally stopped and sat down on the ledge of an office building to watch the Hellicarrier fly away. She sighed to herself.

"Come on Spidey, buck up. You are only responsible for you. It's better that way." She tried to convince herself of that as the Hellicarrier flew farther into the distance. She had saw what being a team was about, saw it every day living with the Avengers. So she saw how it affected everyone, there were good things but the all-consuming guilt when one of them was hurt, when one of them nearly died. It destroyed people, she watched it every day and she refused to pull other people into that kind of life, SHIELD could do what they liked but she didn't want any part of it. She sighed again, looking down at the city below. Then her Spidey sense went crazy.

"Whoa, spidey sense warning me of danger. To the left, right and behind?" Before she could do more than twist around to look behind her a blast of sound sent her hurtling to the roof opposite her. Before she could get up a foot came down on her torso hard.

"Stay down Bug!" Spidey looked up into the face of Thundra as Klaw leapt from the building across from them and Wizard floated above them. Wizard grinned.

"Round two Spidergirl. You lose." Spidey scoffed.

"So it wasn't enough I kicked your butts in front of some school kids, now the whole city gets to watch." Wizard threw a disk at Spidey. It attached itself to the symbol on her chest. Thundra removed her foot and Spidey floated off the roof. Her arms pin wheeled as she tried to balance in what amounted to an antigravity bubble. Before she could fully orient herself Thundra wrapped her chain around Spidergirl's ankle and yanked her across the roof slamming her into every surface the warrior woman could reach. She was horribly dizzy and in pain when she finally floated to a stop.

"Why does everyone wanna play Whack-a-Spider?" Wizard sighed.

"Ever the joker aren't you Spidergirl?" Piper grinned under her mask.

"Well someone's gotta have a sense of humor, you certainly don't." Wizard glared at her before motioning to Klaw. The sound villain sent a wave of sound at the hero as Wizard shot a bolt of purple lightning at her. She convulsed and screamed before finally going limp. Thundra smiled.

"She's out." Wizard floated up to her tilting her chin up with one hand.

"Good, makes it all the easier to bring her to our employer."

There are three ways to say no in three different languages. German. Slovak, and Russian.
