Chapter 2: The S.H.I.E.L.D code

After a long talk with Hulk he calmed down from his raging attitude, they got the lab back in order, J.A.R.I.V.S completed his repairs. Peter still was awaiting his purpose from Iron man. He thought about the pickle tony got himself in for asking Spider-Man of all heroes to come and help him out.

"So Tony, what's my purpose here?" asked Peter. Tony gave him a glare then looked back at the hunched genius position he was once in. Peter sat silent. "Repairs are done sir" J.A.R.V.I.S said after a long silent pause. Falcon stood there, unchanging, undisturbed. Peter's mask still stood on his face, though who cared. Tony started his genius typing. His fingers flew through the keys as he twitched his head to read all the codes and documents being restored.

"Alright, Spider-Man your purpose here today was to open a code for me." Peter looked normal with the mask, but underneath he gave an awkward face. "Spidey?" Iron man asked. Peter then took of his mask revealing his college student face. "You of all people Tony, the smartest man in the world needs me, a college boy, to open a document that all your high tech equipment can't open?" Spider Man looked stern. Tony nodded. Peter gave a sigh then looked at the file. File 555236, attachment code: 0, prison number 99286. It was just a bunch of words and numbers till he read: S.H.I.E.L.D prison base, Top Secret. Tony gave a sigh.

Peter then gave out a long blow of air then asked Tony, "You stole a top secret S.H.I.E.L.D prison chip! That makes you an enemy of S.H.I.E.L.D! That's not a good thing either! Why of all people would you steal the most highly secured facilities' file?!" Tony crushed his lips together then spoke, "Because I knew you were then only one willing to help me find the man I need." Peter's mouth dropped. "Fine, but if I get caught you're the one to blame." Tony nodded in agreement.

Peter then typed in the code. Tony memorized his hand movements and watched the keys in case he needed something else from S.H.I.E.L.D. Peter then his the enter button and awaited the data to download into Tony's computer.

After the Download they took a look at their unknown "prisoner" they were looking for. The number rang up again: 99286. Location: unknown. Prisoner: unknown. Tony's fist hit the table next to him as hard as he could. "It's wiped. The number wasn't, but the name was… All we have is a five digit number to work with." Tony put his index, middle and thumb and rubbed his eyes. He couldn't believe it. He lost his only hope of finding the man he needed to see to know a terrible truth.

Tony thought of solutions to satisfy his defeat. "Ugh! I just don't know what to look for." Peter searched through the wiped device. Peter had to do something, though what if he did it, what if he hacked S.H.I.E.L.D, found the prisoner, and relieved his friend's pain.

Peter sat for a moment, Falcon was watching. He saw Peter frozen, paralyzed, and silent. Falcon then went towards him, then Peter knew he had to do what was right, then Tony stopped and saw what he was doing, "What are you doing? Peter Parker what are you doing!"

He never stopped, documents flew, and pages denied and granted access to his codes. "How… What?" Tony's mouth dropped. Project complete was there on the screen and Peter pressed it and typed the code: 99286.

Tony stood up frantically and excited! He entered it and everything on their unknown prison and prisoner showed up. Falcon's eyes grew, so big that Tony became uncomfortable. They had stolen the wrong code! This was a prison number for a prison: Actanus, and prisoner: Red Skull. Who apparently died when the captain's disappearance on the skull's craft that crashed so long ago?

"That's impossible! How did he hide it from us?" Peter's emotions of help fainted.

Fury had then entered the room. "Now you know. The truth is out." Everyone turned. Tony turned and walked towards him. "How could you! This is why we as Avengers don't trust S.H.I.E.L.D at any costs!" Tony's had was raised and he clenched his hand as if he was going to smack Fury down.

"Do you recall when S.H.I.E.L.D saved you from Loki? Saved the Avengers form Loki? Saved Captain America from HYDRA? Saved so many people from Ultron's destruction? Saved the Avengers from your invention!?"

Fury was ready to give more excuses to Tony. "Well remember when you died, or faked it cause you couldn't trust Captain America till you knew if he was on your side? Do you remember Coulson's death?! Do you remember when you started this Avengers initiative, we were weapons, not people, weapons!"

Tony was also ready to give more excuses. "So, you thought Coulson was dead, well…" Tony interrupted him, "He's not dead Fury! I know, old man running around New York, capturing super humans, and Skylar is one of them."

Fury's eye patched popped out, "So you do know!" He said angrily. "Ya, you didn't think I saw Deathlock running around town being controlled by HYDRA?"

Fury was at the edge of killing Tony, "And who else did you tell!?" "No one except those in this room, and Panther and Hulk upstairs." Fury then looked up to the security camera and shot it. Hulk and Panther saw nothing on the cameras and looked at each other in confusion.

"Well that's nothing to be mad about!" Tony said angrily due to Fury's rage on his things.

He'd had enough of his stuff broken from Hulk, now its Fury… Whose next Ant-Man pissed off about the Civil war he had a year ago?

Tony wasn't quite happy. Fury still stood in his last position, and his face had calmed down from his unhappy face.

"Fury, listen I know that the Red Skull will give me a clue as to the person I'm looking for is," Tony said

Fury looked confused. He hadn't ever seen Tony apologize… EVER! "Well who are you looking for? I have to know to help you."

"Ugh! Very well," Tony said unwillingly wanting to give the information he keeps a secret.

Tony whispered into Fury's ear. Spider Man and Falcon stood and wondered why he was giving this information to him, Fury, of all people to trust.

"Well then we must find this man. I hate to say that we must find him… But why won't you tell your friends… SPIDER MAN!" He had just realized that his one trainee was here, and why?

"Spider Man! You joined the Avengers, then was abandoned, came to me, and came back to them?!" Fury's face was turning more red than brown.

"Well, I know that you're keeping secrets too, so why not help them? I mean I left because I thought that Tony's rage was going to go to me, but know I realize he's only stressed to find a truth," Peter said in a calm but strict way.

"Well after Tony almost killed us with Ultron, I couldn't trust him with tech, you might, but I never will again!" Fury wasn't happy and a little concerned that his trainee is giving information to Tony, one of his least trusted friend.

"Ultron! ULTRON! Ultron hit us two years ago. I think you just hold on to the past to stop me in an argument, but know I know it's been long enough to say….. IT'S HISTORY FURY!"

Tony wasn't happy that he brought up Ultron up over and over again to try to shut him up.

Tony then took his helmet and put it on. "So… you gonna help me, or not?" Fury's eyebrows came up. He didn't want to but he had already agreed.

"Fine Tony, but if you get one man killed on this trip, I'll skin you like a rabbit," Fury said. He hated to go on this evil road trip with one of the most dangerous men in the world.

"Okay Avengers, and S.H.I.E.L.D Agents Assemble!"
