Author's Note: This story is coming to an end, and I hope you have enjoyed it as much as I have. I would love to see a Review. Chapter 33 of 36.
Steve
Everyone who hadn't been killed or injured, were standing in the Medical bay, while the injured lay on the beds with the Doctor going down one by one. Steve was sitting in his wheel chair and he looked down the numerous beds and Sam was laying in one, Wanda was getting her leg set, Bucky was slowly coming back, he had a concussion. Vision was actually hurt, Sean had dented his chest cavity and Vision was in pain. Quite human. Steve looked to his right, Natasha was standing next to him, and he saw Hill over in the corner with her arms crossed. Fury was standing next to her and his head was low. He lost more than half of the S.H.I.E.L.D. Agents. Tony was getting his wound patched up and he had gotten Rhodey out of his suit. Clint had ice on his shoulder, he shook his head "What a mess"
Steve looked at him, his eyes were tired and full of sadness, and he looked on at everyone. "It could have been worse"
Clint glanced at him, he shifted slightly "How?"
"He could have killed us all, we're lucky he was just escaping"
"Yeah, to New York City" Allen added from a bed.
Steve put his hand to his chin, he took a deep breath "How long till he gets to the city?"
"About an hour, at least" Tony said as he gritted his teeth slightly as his side ached. "Try not to move Mr. Stark" the Doctor said to him. Tony gave him a quick nod and he took a deep breath. Steve nodded, he looked at Fury "The Helicarrier is the closest thing we have to New York City right?"
Fury stepped forward slightly "Yeah, but I'm not going to have the Helicarrier attack a city for one guy"
Steve shook his head "I don't want you to, I'm looking at our options"
"Steve, most of us can't even fight the man" Clint said
"I know, the ones who could are hurt"
Tony sat up slightly "I can fight him"
Steve looked at him in admiration "You're hurt Tony"
"Doesn't matter, I can still break a few eggs"
Steve shook his head "I don't need you bleeding out in your suit"
Tony sighed in annoyance "Someone has to do something"
Steve looked around at all of them and they stared right back at him. He took a deep breath then a firm voice came from the back of the room "I can fight him"
They all turned their heads to see who said that, standing in the back was Peter, with a cane in hand. Steve frowned "Kid, the last time you fought him, he broke your back"
Peter stepped forward "yeah, well he should have done it better, I can walk"
"But can you swing around the city?" Clint asked
Peter looked at them all "Kind of"
Clint rolled his eyes, Fury stepped forward "You're not experienced enough to do this Parker"
Peter frowned as he heard the words "Really? Rhodey doesn't have a suit, Tony was stabbed, Sam's pack was destroyed, Wanda's leg is broken, even Vision is hurt, Cap is in a freaking wheel chair, the guy with the metal arm is even knocked out, they had more experience than me"
"I don't want to tell your Aunt that her nephew Peter is Spider Man and went to fight someone that was stronger than him, and got killed"
Peter sighed "he's not stronger"
They all looked at him, Peter sighed "I can lift six tons" his eyebrows flew up "He can lift two"
"When he's not pissed off" Tony added "He punched through the wall"
Peter shook his head "Let me help, it's down to us to protect everyone from that guy"
Everyone was quiet and Steve frowned slightly and looked at Peter, he was holding the cane in the air and wasn't even using it to stand. He took a deep breath, he looked at Natasha. Her eyes looked at his, she gave him a small nod. "Okay" Steve said
Everyone besides Peter and Natasha quickly turned their faces toward Steve in shock. "Rogers, what are you doing?" Rhodey asked
Steve took a deep breath "Peter is going to go to New York City, not to stop him, but to protect the civilians from him, and the police force"
Peter wanted to jump in rejoice, he could do that. Steve looked at him and he became serious, but jittery. "You do not fight him directly unless you have to defend yourself, you do not purposely attack him. Sean will kill anyone who gets in his way, you make sure he doesn't kill anyone"
Peter nodded "I won't let you down" he said with a wide grin. Steve nodded "I know you won't, now get going, you have your suit?"
Peter nodded and he almost turned to leave, he stopped and turned back toward them "Tony, is that suit done?"
Tony sat up in excitement "Yeah, just hasn't been tested"
"Well we're going to test it, Tony can take me to the Tower, and I can gear up there. Then I can find him"
Steve looked at Tony "Go, I'll be monitoring you from here"
Toy almost leaped off the bed and he walked toward Peter "Let's go kid"
Peter nodded and followed Tony out of the Medical bay. Rhodey sighed "I hope you know what you're doing Steve?"
Steve nodded "He'll get it done" he looked at Natasha and she gave him a small smile that no one but him noticed.
Tony was sitting in the pilot seat of the Quinjet, Peter was stretching his legs as the clouds floated and foamed around the Quinjet as it shot through them. Leaving a large opening when it left them. Tony glanced back at Peter as he was bending his leg down and he got to his knee. He quickly pushed off and he stood, stumbling slightly, he caught himself with his cane and he did it again. Tony took a deep breath and his side burned a little. He turned the controls slightly and the Quinjet banked to the right. Peter adjusted for the shift in weight and caught his balance.
Peter knew he could do this, he just needed to limber up a bit. He looked over at Tony and he watched his hands move the controls again and the Quinjet leveled out. Peter walked over to him with a slight limp "So, how does it look?"
"The suit?" Tony asked looking at him.
"Yeah"
Tony shrugged "It looks nice, now when we get to the Tower, we get you fitted with it, then we find Sean"
Peter nodded "Okay, well let me know when we're getting close."
"Sure" Tony said and his hands gripped the controls tighter as his side burned again. Peter slowly took his eyes off of him and walked back toward the main area of the Quinjet and continued to stretch his legs.
Felicia
The house was quiet and the only noise that would come was the clanking of dishes in the kitchen. Felicia was standing in the living room and she was looking at pictures, she went down them all. She saw one with a little boy and she stared at it for a bit then moved on. She saw one with the little boy again, but there were two people standing on either side of him. She frowned slightly, the floor creaked, Felicia turned to see who it was and her eyes seemed to not want to look her in the eye, like she had been caught.
Aunt May was holding a small towel in her hand and a bowl in the other and she was drying it. "That's Peter" she said
Felicia looked at the picture again and the small smile on the boy's face, she softly smiled back. She looked at the man to his right, Aunt May seemed to know what she was going to ask "That's Ben"
"Ben?" Felicia asked turning toward her. Aunt May nodded "He died a few years ago"
"Peter told me" Felicia said
Aunt May walked forward, her long greying chestnut brown hair slightly swayed as she moved. She looked at the picture of Ben. She smirked "He was a good man, treated me well. He was a bit stubborn at times"
"What happened to Peter's parents?"
Aunt May took her eyes off the picture with Ben, she took a deep breath "They died"
Felicia heard the firmness of her voice but soft enough to have a level of sadness within it. She could tell it was a touchy topic. She shifted on her feet and Aunt May breathed and nodded "They left him here one night" Aunt May said walking away.
Felicia watched Aunt May leave the living room and she looked back at the picture. Ben was smiling, his chocolate brown hair was put together nicely, and he had black glasses. Felicia looked over at the picture to the far right, Peter was the only one in it. It must have been a school picture, his brown hair was a little untidy, but he was wearing black glasses. She looked back over at Ben and they were the same glasses. Felicia nodded, she had seen Peter in person with those glasses on. She took a sharp breath and turned away from the pictures.
She didn't know why she felt like crying, she crossed her arms and lightly ran her fingers over her arms. She closed her eyes, she shouldn't get close to him. Kind of late for that though, she knew that eventually it would all come undone. She couldn't have a relationship with him, they were on separate sides of the board. He constantly tried to save people, she constantly tried to save herself. Aunt May entered the living room again "Felicia?" she asked
Felicia came out of her thoughts and took a forced breath and turned around to face her. "Yeah?"
"Do you know where Peter is?"
"No" she lied
Aunt May nodded "He's usually home by now, he was staying with a friend, but it's almost time for dinner."
"I'm sure he's just getting caught up in something"
Aunt May smiled softly "He tends to do that"
Felicia nodded "Well if he's late for dinner, he's late for dinner"
Aunt May nodded "I'll leave some out for when he gets home" and she went back into the kitchen, Felicia sighed. He was getting caught up in something alright.
Sean
The city was bright with colors as the Quinjet flew over the buildings. The sun was just about to disappear under the horizon. A light snow fall was moving in and the right lights of the city began to turn on. The skyscrapers' lights began to illuminate a glowing city. The Stark Tower stood among the buildings and their tall outstretched hands as they reached for the sky. The Quinjet slowed and banked around the Tower and slowly hovered next to the building as it landed. The Quinjet hooked into the track below it and the building pulled the Quinjet within it. Snow lightly tapped the windows of the Tower as the cars below slowly moved down the snow covered streets. The Civilians moved in large huddled groups as they made their way home from a day's work. The lone stragglers outside the groups made their way to their individual buildings of warmth. The yellow taxis slowly inched toward the red light of the street. There was a large gap between the two long rows of cars. Music could be heard from large microphones outside of shops. The light flicked to green and a large black vehicle blasted past them and went through the intersection. The two rows of taxis halted and their tires squealed and three police cruisers flew by, chasing the lone black vehicle. Their lights quickly blinking and their sirens filling the street.
Most of the civilians saw it as nothing but the usual New York. They continued on with their business. Sean's hand was gripping the wheel tightly, he was driving through the large masses of cars, he knocked one out of the way and a long curse followed from the driver. Sean turned the wheel and dodged a car that was breaking and its rear red lights flashed. The Wheels slid across the slick road and began to slid out of control, Sean turned the wheel the other way and the rubber wheels turned against the slick road and caught the road and regained friction and straightened out. He was free, but now he had to deal with the people of New York. Sean hit the back of another car and it swung to the right and got out of his way.
Sean felt a sudden feeling to put down the passenger window. He didn't know why, but he pressed the button to his left and the window went down. Sean looked back and a large rifle was laying in the back seat. He smirked and reached back and grabbed it. He saw that it had a large ammo drum and he smiled. He saw a police cruiser come up to his right, he lifted the rifle and placed the barrel on the edge of the door and pulled the trigger. The rifle fired and bullets went into the police cruiser and tore the two cops apart and the cruiser swerved and hit a parked car and the force caused the cruiser flip over the stationary car and fly toward the civilians on the sidewalk. Screams filled the air and Sean fired at the civilians on the sidewalk and blood splattered onto the road.
Suddenly more police cruisers came out of the intersection behind him and soon he was being chased by over ten police cruisers. He smiled and he flipped the rifle around and set it against the back seat and fired out of the rear window. Two police cruisers moved out of the way of the bullets as the cruiser behind it was caught by the barrage and the windshield splattered and sprayed glass outward as blood splattered against the glass. Sean slightly moved the rifle as he drive and the bullets moved in a long wall down the street at the police. He smiled and he kept driving and there was a crosswalk that had a red light and people were crossing. Sean accelerated and he drove through the intersection. The police cruisers followed and the civilians crossing the street saw the vehicle flying toward them. Sean smirked and he hit the gas and he ran over five people, he pulled the trigger as the police cruisers braked and their tires squealed against the road and they didn't hit anyone, but Sean did that on purpose. The rifle fired and bullets hit the stationary police cruisers and the civilians that they refrained from hitting.
Peter
The Quinjet's ramp lowered and Peter almost ran down it. He didn't though, he calmly walked down it and Tony was close behind. Peter walked toward the stairs that led to the living area. Tony was right behind him, he was talking to Steve. "We just got to the Tower, heading in now"
Peter got to the top of the stairs and he entered the living area. He saw Pepper sitting at the counter and she had her eyes were fixed on the TV. Tony looked at her "Potts?"
Pepper turned to look at him "Why are you bleeding?"
Tony looked down and his bandage was bleeding through a bit. "Work" he said
Pepper looked at Peter "What are you doing?"
"Going out there to stop a homicidal maniac"
Pepper glanced at the TV, Peter frowned "What?"
"It's on the news"
Peter looked at the TV and he saw a high speed pursuit and he watched as a crosswalk of people got hit by a large black vehicle. Tony sighed "Get to the lab"
Peter nodded and quickly made his way to the stairway that led to the lab. Tony walked over to Pepper "We had a guy locked up and he escaped and that would be him" he said pointing at the screen.
"How did he get passed all of you?"
"He's only like the Hulk"
"Do you need any help?"
Tony shook his head "You stay up here, it's not safe on the street with that guy, he has no problem shooting someone"
"The police are after him"
"They won't be able to stop him, we can't either"
"What?"
"He injured everyone who could possibly fight him, including me"
Pepper took a deep breath "So what are you going to do?"
"Peter is going out there to protect the civilians from him"
"What if he gets in his way?"
"He will fight to protect himself"
Pepper's eyes widened "Tony, he has a cane in his hand, which how did that happen?"
"He broke his back"
Pepper stared at him "What?"
"Yeah, well got to go, people to save"
Pepper watched as Tony quickly walked toward the stairs and entered his lab.
Peter was at his desk and he looked at Tony "Okay, time to suit up"
Tony took a breath "Hold on, I have to get it here"
Peter lowered his shoulders "Well hurry"
Tony sighed as he went over to his desk and had the suit be sent up. Peter quickly tore off his clothes to reveal his suit underneath. He held the mask in his hands and placed it on the desk. He quickly began to work on his Web Shooters. Tony pressed a few more buttons and the center of the lab clicked. Peter looked to the see a large circle in the floor open and the suit came up. Peter walked toward it and the red suit with the gold accents stood before him. Peter took a deep breath "Cool"
"Yeah, you're Web Shooters good?"
Peter nodded and went back to the desk "Yeah" he put them on his wrists. Peter went back over to Tony, leaving his red cane by his desk.
Tony looked at him "Now, you can still use your Web Shooters, but you can fly with this"
"I can glide with this" Peter said looking at his suit
Tony frowned "Really?"
"Yeah"
Tony nodded "I'll have to work that into the mark two."
Peter put on his mask "Okay, suit me up"
Tony pressed a button and the suit unlocked and opened up, the face flipped up and Peter looked at it. "Well, here goes nothing"
Tony watched as Peter turned around and stepped into the suit. The suit lit up and the metal body began to close. "Good thing I'm not Closter phobic" Peter said as the face closed.
Peter saw nothing but darkness then a flash of light and he was given a HUD. He looked at Tony and he saw the suit scan him. He nodded and he brought his hands up and slowly opened and closed them. "I made it lighter than the Iron Man suit, it's still as string though, but has more flexibility. So you can do your swinging and fighting"
Peter nodded and he took a step and four large metal legs came out of his back "Whoa" Peter said quickly.
Tony nodded "You can climb with those and other things"
Peter nodded "Okay, he took another step forward and the legs went back into his back. "I may need to know how to work those"
"Think it, it should do it"
Peter frowned and he thought about them and they came out and one poked the ceiling. Peter smiled and nodded "Awesome"
Tony smiled and nodded "Now, FRIDAY is in the suit as well, she is there for other support and if the neurological device in the head is damaged, tell her what you want and she'll make it happen."
Peter took a deep breath. Tony frowned and spoke "Yeah Steve I saw it"
Peter swallowed and he looked out of the lab and down at the TV and at the police cruisers as they kept trying to stop Sean. Tony nodded "Okay Parker, time to shine"
Peter nodded "I'll stop him"
Tony frowned "Your job is to protect those civilians"
"I will, but I will also try to stop Sean"
Tony took a deep breath "I can't stop you, but I strongly advice against it."
Peter nodded "I know"
Tony watched as Peter walked away and went to the roof. Tony took a deep breath "Go get him kid"
The city was filled with chaos of sounds and screams and gunfire. Peter stood on the roof of the Tower and he looked down off the edge of the roof. The lights lightly reflecting off his suit. Peter took a deep breath "FRIDAY?"
"Yes?" her vice asked
"Any advice?" Peter asked
"Try not to get hit"
Peter chuckled "Thanks"
Peter knelt down and he looked around and he could see the streets full of flashing red and blue lights. He took a deep breath "FRIDAY, tap into the police scanners. I don't have access to my scanners in this suit"
"The scanner is going ballistic"
"We need to find out where he is"
"I think listening to the loud screams would help"
"Not the time to be witty FRIDAY"
"Okay, he's right before the Tower"
"Really?"
"He's a block away"
Peter took a deep breath "Okay"
He stood and he looked down at his city, they needed him tonight and he wasn't going to let them down. Peter took a deep breathed and backed away from the edge of the roof. He got a good distance and he stopped, he moved his feet over the gravel slightly. He put his hands into fists and he stepped forward and pushed off. He began to run toward the edge of the roof, he took a deep breath as he reached the end and he jumped off the roof. He saw himself move outward into the air and over the street far below. He began to move down and he watched as the altitude on his HUD changed drastically. He put his right arm out and fired a web. The white liquid fired and flew through the cold air and grabbed the side of a building and he felt his weight coming and he pulled himself up and swung off. He twirled through the air and fired another web. Peter let go of the web and he ran along the side of a building, he pushed off and he flew across the gap and he ran across another building of the other side.
Peter could see three police helicopters flying after the black vehicle below. Peter saw another helicopter, it had Daily Bugle printed on the side. Peter fired another web and he swung right past it. The Helicopter stopped briefly then its spot light saw him and followed. Peter landed on a roof and rolled. He came to his feet and continued to run across the roof as the bright spot light blazed over him. He looked up at it slightly and it flew close to him. He could see it now, himself on TV and everyone's disbelief that he was still around. Peter took a deep breath and he felt a confidence that he never felt before. He dove over the side of the building and he thought about the pack on his back and the bottom of it opened and thrusters fired and he flew forward.
He yelled in excitement as he flew past buildings. "Try not to become a bug on a windshield" FRIDAY teased at him
"Never really flown before" Peter said as he flew over the flashing lights toward the black vehicle that Sean was in. Peter stopped the thrusters and he fired another web and swung forward. The police cruisers below almost seemed to slow down as they noticed him flying over. Peter let go of the web and he flipped twice and eh got close to the ground and fired a web and he flew between two cruisers. Peter let go and landed on a large flag pole hung to the side, he leapt off and the pole rung as it vibrated and swung side to side. Peter nodded, look out Sean.
Peter landed on a police cruiser that was in the lead. He leaned over the side and looked at the driver "Hi officer" he said
"What the hell are you doing?"
"Helping out"
The officer nodded "Thank God"
Peter looked forward and he saw Sean glance back and he saw a rifle come into view. Peter took a deep breath and he saw it fire in slow motion. He saw each bullet as it flew toward them. He fired his Web Shooters rapidly and the ionic web hit the bullets and disintegrated them. Peter could tell that Sean wasn't liking that. Peter saw him stop firing, peter leaned over to talk to the officer. "Listen, we need to protect theses civilians, I'm going to try and stop his vehicle, and keep his attention on me"
The Officer looked at him and she nodded "Okay, you get this maniac to stop, we'll protect these civilians"
"Yes ma'am officer" Peter looked at her and she spoke "DeWolff"
"Officer DeWolff" Peter said
Peter leaned back up and he jumped forward and he landed on the roof of Sean's vehicle. Peter jumped onto the hood and he saw Sean's face. "Sir, I need you to pull over"
Sean pulled the rifle up, Peter nodded "Okay" he jumped out of the way as bullets fired at him. Peter jumped off and swung ahead of him. Peter landed on the road and eh fired two webs and he pulled them together. He fired two more but at a higher height and he put them together. He ducked under one and fired another two and another two after that. Peter stood before the four lines of Web and he fired his Web Shooters at the Vehicle rapidly. The ionic web hit the hood and began to weaken it. Peter saw the vehicle go faster and he jumped up and flipped backward as the Vehicle hit he lines of Web and it flipped it over. The vehicle smacked onto the road and slid on its back. Peter landed on his feet and he watched as the vehicle stopped.
Peter walked forward and he watched as the driver side door flew off. He watched Sean climb out of it and he stood. He pulled out the rifle and held it in one hand. He had his shield in the other. Peter saw the large triangle shield and he saw Sean lift the rifle and aim at him. Sean took a deep breath "You're going to have to try much harder than that to stop me"
"I'm just here to stop you from killing these people"
Sean looked around and he saw the civilians running away and behind the lines of cops. He took a deep breath "Then let me go"
"The police won't so I can't or you'll kill them"
Sean nodded "So you don't mind if I run do you?"
Peter tilted his head "Not at all, just don't kill anyone"
Sean laughed softly "What if I want to?"
"That right there is why I'm going to follow you"
"I guess I'll just kill you" Sean said raising the rifle.
Peter nodded "You're going to need a bigger gun"
Sean smiled and fired. Peter fired an ionic web and it went into the barrel and made the rifle brittle at the center. Sean watched as the metal seemed to chip, he dropped the rifle and it shattered as it hit the road. Peter nodded "can't have you killing someone on accident"
Sean walked forward "I broke you once"
Peter nodded "That you did, no run stripy"
Sean looked at him and he glanced at the building to his right. Peter put his hands into fists and Sean nodded "I was going to leave, but now I think I'll stay"
"What happened to the man that wanted us to commend your men?"
"Sean Richardson?" Sean asked "He isn't here anymore, I see you people haven't learned your lesson"
Peter frowned and Sean looked at the apartment building "I guess I'll just go kill everyone"
"And that is okay to you?" Peter asked
Sean shrugged "Doesn't bother me at all"
Sean smiled at him and ran into the apartment building, Peter ran forward and followed. He entered the building and Sean was on the stairs. Peter shot him with a web and pulled him down. He came up and went to punch Peter, Peter dodged it and kicked him in the ribs. Sean looked at him "Stark give you a few toys?"
Peter didn't answer him and Sean swung at him, Peter dodged and he saw the shield coming and he went to the floor and slid across it as the shield missed him. Peter pushed off the wall and he slid backward and he pushed himself up and as his feet came up, he kicked Sean into the wall. Sean's tumbled back and he blocked another punch and he punched Peter in the chest. The armor dented and Peter countered with a web to the eyes. Sean groaned as he went to tear it away. Peter kicked him out of the door and he landed on the street. Sean got to his feet and Peter walked out of the building. Sean looked at him and saw him walk out and he smiled. Peter took a deep breath. Sean chuckled "To the death then"
Peter put his hands into fists and he saw Sean run forward. Peter ran and jumped into the air and the four metal arms came out of the pack and he flew down toward Sean with the four metal arms held back and his hand was pulled back in a fist.
