"Fury, why are you in my tower," Tony questioned the man suspiciously. He was sitting on their couch watching the news when they arrived.
"I came to pick up Dr. Connors, the lizard, Natasha told me to wait here." Fury said not even glancing back at them.
"How did you get in."
"Through the front doors." Fury said and Tony bristled. Steve put his hand on the genius's shoulder calming him. Luckily they didn't have to wait long. The elevator dinged.
Tony and Steve were on Peter as soon as they saw him. Blood ran down the side of his face and he was horribly bruised.
"Peter Oh my god, what happened?"
"Where were you?"
"Why didn't you answer our calls?"
The boy was bombarded with question after question until Natasha let out a loud whistle and everyone stopped Steve regarded the Russian for a moment before Peter had his arms wrapped around him. He automatically hugged the boy back as Peter slumped into his chest.
Peter didn't say anything and his shoulders shook slightly and Steve knew his son was crying and any thoughts went out of his head as he held his son close. Tony was there in seconds on Peter's other side sandwiching the teen between them.
They stood there for a while just holding Peter until the tears stopped. Finally, he pulled away wiping his eyes and trying to act like he hadn't just been sobbing into their arms.
Bruce pushed past them and Looked Peter over. "Come sit, you need medical attention. I'm going to need you to take off your shirt so I can get a better look at you." Bruce was in full doctor mode. Peter looked over at Natasha who only nodded at him.
Steve and Tony glanced between the two looking confused.
"Don't freak out," Peter told them all taking a step back he shed his hoodie and then his shirt. Steve thought he was going to faint. Tony put an arm on Steve's shoulder to steady himself as they both gaped at their son. The torn Spiderman suit was covered in blood and filth but easy to make out.
Clint was the first to recover. "I did not see that coming, no offense Peter."
"Gee thanks, Uncle Clint." Peter was thankful that he wasn't yelling.
"This is…" Tony stuttered out.
"Impossible" Steve supplied. "Peter, why, how?" Steve seemed unable to figure out what he should ask first.
"So are you a mutant?" Tony asked finally "You could have told us, Peter, we wouldn't have cared!" He looked slightly hurt that his son had hidden all of this from them "And going out like a vigilante in.." Tony pulled at the sleeve before looking like he was going to faint again "Spandex. Really Peter my god, Spandex Steve!"
"What were you thinking!?" Steve said ignoring Tony who was going through some sort of breakdown as he continued to mumble to himself about Spandex.
Peter looked down "I wasn't." He said looking back up at Steve "Not at first, Things just sort of happened, and then the lizard attacked the bridge and I saved those people Pops. I saved them, they would have died." He was desperate for his pops to understand that this wasn't a choice, it was something he had to do.
Steve put a hand over his eyes and sighed rubbing his temples. He hadn't even thought of Peter fighting the lizard. He could have been killed! He wanted to scream, but he only barely kept his cool.
"And I'm not a mutant," Peter added. This seemed to snap Tony out of his freak out and he looked up at Peter who continued "I was bitten by a radioactive spider."
Clint laughed "Are you serious?" Peter glared.
"At Oscorp." Fury finally spoke up after watching all this. It was less of a question and more of a statement. Peter nodded.
"I wanted to just go there figure a few things out about my birth parents, but I found myself in this room with hundreds of Spiders." Fury listened in intently
Bruce looked intrigued even as he cleaned the cuts on Peter's face "What powers do you have Peter?"
"I can stick to things," Peter said his voice growing a bit excited. He loved his powers and he was finally able to share them and he couldn't help being a bit excited about it "I have like a sixth sense. It lets me know if there's danger to me or someone around me, My reflexes are insane Uncle Bruce you wouldn't believe it."
"What about the webs? Do those come out of you too because I have to say, that's pretty gross." Clint grimaced.
Peter shook his head. He pulled up his sleeves to show off his web shooters but forgot that the lizard had crushed them. He winced at the sudden movement and the look of dented and crushed metal. There was even some blood on his wrist. Peter broke the metal off with hardly a flick of his fingers. "Super strength." He said when everybody just stared at him. Bruce grabbed his wrists and Peter hissed in pain. Steve and Tony were right there in seconds holding him and Peter didn't even try to stop them. "Those pieces of metal are called web shooters, I created them, and the webbing. He looked at his dad with a smile but Tony only frowned. And Peter trailed off.
Tony sighed "You're hurt, Peter. Doing this, it got you hurt."
"Yeah, but I saved New York."
"So you want to be a hero?" Steve asked
"I don't know, I know I'm not a hero, I'm not like you guys. I'm just trying to do some good." Peter felt like crying again as he thought of Captain Stacey and what Gwen had to be going through right now. She must hate him. "If I have the ability to save someone, doesn't that mean I have the responsibility to do so. Because if I don't and that person dies then what's the point of even having these powers."
"Peter…"
"I'm not done yet." Peter interrupted. "Dad, Pops. I know I can't save everyone. But I have these powers, and I can't get rid of them. If I have the chance to save someone I'm not going to think about being a hero or about getting hurt, I'm just going to do it, because I don't want to watch anybody else die. I /cant'/ watch anyone else die!" He stressed
Tony and Steve looked at each other "If we can't stop you, we're at least going to help you."
"Dad?" Peter looked at Tony with hope.
"No more spandex and you need to get properly trained."
"And No going after guys like the lizard unless we allow it," Steve added. Peter nodded he could work with that."
Peter grinned but then let out a cry of pain as Bruce fixed his other wrist. "He won't be doing much until his wrists are healed." the doctor said sternly Peter smiled.
"I'll be healed by tomorrow." He informed Bruce.
Natasha rolled her eyes. "Dr. Banner, check his leg, he was limping."
The smile fell right off Peter's face.
"As sweet as all this is, Natasha I need you to debrief me about Oscorp."
"I didn't find anything, the lizard attacked before I could get any info."
"I might be able to help you." Peter cut in. even as Bruce was forcing him to sit. Fury looked at Peter waiting for an explanation. "I found a file with my father's things, it was about cross-species genetics. That's what Oscorps been doing, they're trying to meld animal DNA with human DNA so that they can cure diseases." Peter told them.
"That's how the lizard was created." Bruce guessed.
Peter blushed "Umm sort of. See Oscorp was missing part of the algorithm, so I helped complete it. I didn't know what it would do to him, I was just trying to help." Peter whispered.
Fury nodded "I need to go." He walked out and Peter watched him go feeling extremely guilty Natasha followed after him.
"Sir, it wasn't Peter's fault, he had no clue what he was doing."
"Doesn't matter, Oscorp now has the missing algorithm, imagine what they plan to do with that." Fury said, "I need you to keep an eye on Peter and his growing abilities."
"He's a kid fury he's not working for Oscorp."
"I didn't say he was. Think about it Romanoff, hundreds of spiders and he's the only mutant spider boy out there. How? You can't tell me he's the first to be bitten."
"Peter was the first success. If Oscorp knows this… shit, we should tell Steve and Stark."
"No, we don't know anything for sure. I don't need Panicking parents on my ass all the damn time."
"You know more than you're letting on."
"Don't I always. I'll be in touch Natasha." He said stepping into a car and driving off into the night. Natasha watched him go.
Things were certainly a lot more interesting now.
"Mr. Barton wanted me to inform you that Movie night is about to take place," JARVIS told her and Natasha nodded heading back toward the elevator her mind on Peter and Oscorp.
AN: I only have one more chapter of this fic left to post. Please review if your interested in me continueing. From here on out it will branch off away from the movies. The only thing I plan to keep from the second one is Electro and Gwen's death. Harry will return as Peter's friend and Normal becomes green Goblin. Maybe we'll see the start fo Ultron and from there comes civil war and I also have plans for Venom. But that's only if there's enough people who would really want to read that. So please let me know whether its worth my time to keep this going. Thank you.
Your reviews are always appreciated and for me if even 2 people are interested that's enough for me. Thanks again guys!
