Answers to reviewers' questions or statements:

treyalexander63917: Yeah, Logan's 'rescue' will be anything but clean.

Jason Chandler: Logan's taken on the Sentry and kicked his ass before, he won't have much trouble with him. Perks of a nigh indestructible skeleton and claws that can cut through everything barring like Thor's hammer or Cap's shield. Well based on that description of the FF, I can safely bet that Marvel won't go that route, they'll likely go the route seen in the Ultimates line of comics like Fox tried to do but failed beyond miserably, and with how Marvel trolls DC, I can seem them doing just that.

RosyThorn: Glad you liked the story.

keyblade master cole: I'm literally making this story up as I go. But I can say that Norman's 'Dark Reign will last longer than it did in the comics and it wont end at the Siege of Asgard, hell there isn't even gonna be a Siege, something else will crop up that will force Norman to focus on it instead.

Dave Bennett: I don't think that Freddy or Pinhead can kill any of the more powerful members of the Avengers like Thor or Hulk, I mean with what they've been through, guys like Kruger and Pinhead are kinda small fry in comparison and this isn't even taking into account the ridiculous healing factors and durability of some of these people. Freddy's victims tend to be very human and very idiotic teenagers, same with Pinhead's. Plus, who the hell wants to be in the Hulk's head, or the Wolverine's? If anything, Freddy will get nightmares.

Spideyfan: No Moonstone won't be in Peter's harem, doesn't mean she wont try to seduce him in attempt to gain any sort of control over him.

Harbinger of Kaos: You'd be surprised, during the Civil War, Logan held his own farirly well against Sentry.

Marveldcfan: Because I'm writing the story and I tend to make things overly difficult for the good guys for added drama and suspense.

Movienerd74: Not at first, I mean they will fight to rescue him since he's their teammate, but they don't love him quite yet. But it'll get there.

Gamerslegacy: Yep.

Rider Paladin: Yes Daredevil will be making a appearance, several, in this story and play a crucial role later on.

90skid4life: Sort of.

Superstar Kid: Yeah it'll be a while until Peter can figure out how to get out from under Norman's control, the question is by then, will he want to?

Retrogamer7800: No, She-Hulk has her own things to worry about and she's not keeping in regular contact with any of the guys on the New Avengers, so she's unaware of what's happening.

darthwolf: You'll see.

Chaos Sorcerer: He actually did try to turn Peter to the Dark side a few years back, but he failed. Think of this as his second and possibly more successful attempt. To an extent it'll have abilities similar to both. No his suit can't adapt. The only real difference between the Trans-mode Virus and the Techno-organic Virus is that one was created by the Celestials and the other is from an alien race known as the Phalanx. Peter will try and do his best to take down the Dark Avengers from the inside.

ERoc901 Tha Clean Up Man: You'll see.

Norman had to hold back a smirk as he and Peter silently made their way towards the main conference room that the rest of his Avengers were waiting. Ever since Norman offered Peter his ultimatum, the wall crawler has been uncharacteristically quiet. So much so that Norman had to occasionally look back to make sure the man was still there and hadn't wandered off.

'Must still be silently seething at what I've done to him and what I'm willing to do to keep him here... good. He'll be angry, easier to manipulate' Norman thought as they passed several HAMMER agents.

"As part of my Avengers team, you'll have a great deal of authority in HAMMER and access to it's resources. Not all of them mind you, but more than enough to start out with until I feel you can be trusted" Norman said as he nodded towards a few agents.

"Goodie" Peter bit out.

"Just don't expect anything too great from them" Norman said with a snort "While reliable, they aren't as reliable as SHIELD was. Granted they weren't very reliable to begin with but I'm sure you know that already"

"Trust me Norman, I know how unreliable SHIELD can be" Peter said with a scowl towards the man "After all, they couldn't keep you locked up where you belong, could they?"

"Plus they made that dumbass Stark their director" Norman said with a shake of his head as they arrived at an elevator and he hit the 'Up' button "I mean really, they thought a recovering alcoholic that used to be a arms manufacture that also would so readily and brutally betray his friends would make a good leader"

"Oh and your better than he was?" Peter asked with a snort as they entered the elevator and Norman hit another floor and waited as the cart took them higher up the tower "You, a crazed psychopath that would kill his own family just out of spite?"

"Well, I did say they were unreliable" Norman said with a dark smirk as the elevator came to a stop and the doors opened "Besides, what's wrong with being a psychopath? Gwen didn't seem to mind when she and I were fuc-"

Norman was cut off as he was suddenly slammed into the wall, Peter's hand on his throat as he held the man up with narrowed glowing lenses staring right into his own. Several HAMMER agents who were nearby drew their weapons and aimed them at Peter's form and began to order him to let Norman go while another called in backup.

"Don't. Finish. That. Sentence!" Peter hissed darkly at the man.

"O-Or... w-what?" Norman forced out as he felt Peter's grip tightening on his neck "W-We both know... y-you d-don't have t-the... balls... Parker!"

Peter's grip tightened ever so slightly before he released Norman once he began to hear a familiar ringing sound in his head as his spider-sense began to flare.

"AGGHH!" Peter growled in pain as he felt the splitting headache begin to take over him as he backed into the wall, holding his head as he slumped tot he floor all the while Norman casually stood back up and fixed his suit before he turned to his right where his deputy director Victoria Hand with a small transmitter in her hand.

"Ah Miss Hand, we were just on our way to see you" Norman said with a nod towards his right hand before he turned towards Peter and noticed that he was beginning to transform "That's enough Miss Hand, I think Peter here has learned his lesson"

"If you say so" Victoria said as she shut off the transmitter "He strikes me as the type that never ;earns from his past mistakes"

"You have no idea how on the ball that is" Norman chuckled as he went and kneeled down to next to Peter "Come on Parker, you've taken worse and pulled through. This shouldn't be too much for you"

"S-Screw... you" Peter gritted out as his entire body ached in pain from the near transformation it underwent again.

Norman smirked at this before he stood up and gestured for the still present HAMMER agents to lower their weapons "We're good here, return to whatever it is you people do in your spare time"

"But sir, he-" one of the agents began before Victoria interrupted him.

"The Director told you to scram, now beat it" she said with narrowed eyes.

"Yes ma'am" another agent said before he tapped his friend on the shoulder and they along with a few others departed.

After a few seconds, Peter regained his bearings and slowly climbed back to his feet, his lenses narrowed angrily at both Norman and Victoria. Once Osborn believed that Peter wouldn't try to attack him again, he gestured for Peter and Victoria to follow him down the hall.

"Now where was I before we both got a little… off track?" Norman asked with a chuckle.

"Don't know, I stop paying attention to whatever it is that comes out of your mouth the moment I hear your voice" Peter stated.

Norman frowned at this "Well that's just plain rude"

"I know, I can be a real menace at times. Just go ask Jameson" Peter said with a grim snort "I'm surprised you two aren't best friends sometimes"

"Hmmm" Norman hummed at that as they neared the main conference room that was holding the rest of his team and was about to enter before Victoria placed her hand on his shoulder.

"Sir?"

"What is it Miss Hand?" Norman said as he came to a stop and glanced at his second in command with curiosity.

"We have reports from San Francisco that you might want to see" Victoria said as she pulled out a small tablet and handed to him "It has to do with the Celestial there"

"Is that right?" Norman said as he gave the screen a quick glance before he nodded and placed the tablet in his pocket "I'll read it after Spider-man's introduction to his new teammates. Keep me updated"

"Yes sir" Victoria said with a nod before she turned on her heel and made her way back to the control center, leaving both Peter and Norman alone outside the conference room.

"She's quite brilliant" Norman said as he nodded in Victoria's direction "Resourceful, merciless, intelligent. Why if I was a decade or two younger I'd try my hand with her"

"And if I was a decade or two older I still wouldn't care" Peter responded with a scowl under his mask.

Norman gave Peter a bemused expression as he pushed opened the doors and entered the conference room with a reluctant Peter not far behind him.

Peter took a quick glance around the room to see who was in it. Venom was absent, where Peter didn't know nor want to know. He made out Bullseye and Moonstone in one corner, Sentry standing in the center of the room by the conference table with Ares near the head of it sitting in a chair. Peter for a brief moment felt his spider-sense tingle as Sentry glanced at him before his gaze went back out towards the large window that gave a breathtaking view of the city of New York.

"Now I'm sure no introductions are nessicarry at this point, but I thought it'd be nice for you to get to know the new team seeing as you'll be working with them for the foreseeable future. Who knows, You might even be leading them one day" Norman said as he gestured to his dark perverted image of the Avengers, the first being Ares.

"I'm sure your familiar with Ares, the God of War" Norman nodded towards the ancient deity as he sharpened his sword with a stone.

Ares paused in his work and glanced up at Norman and Peter before he grunted as he returned to sharpening his weapon "So, the Spider has join our ranks, yes?"

"Indeed he has" Norman said with a nod.

"Not by choice" Peter hissed as he glanced at Norman with a glare under his mask.

Ares smirked at this as he held up his blade to better examine the edge "Norman, while I have mentioned that it was wise to keep your enemies closer, I didn't mean it quite like this"

Norman shrugged at that "You say tomato, I say potato"

Ares frowned at that "What?"

"Moving on…" Norman said as he pointed towards the still form of the Sentry "You already know Sentry I presume from when you were both on the Avengers under Stark and Rogers"

"Yeah, we were" Peter said as he glanced at the powerful man, trying to ignore the very faint flare ups of his spider-sense as he addressed the powerful man "Sup Sentry!"

The Sentry glanced at Peter and simply nodded before he went back to staring off into space. Peter frowned at that, while Sentry wasn't the most talkative people he's met in his line of work, the golden hero wasn't that quiet… and he normally wouldn't be setting off his spider-sense in any shape or form.

'Something tells me I have Norman to thank for that' Peter thought as Norman escorted him to where Bullseye and Moonstone were.

The two seemed to be in some sort of hushed argument before they both noticed Peter and Norman standing near them. Osborn was watching the two with a frown while Peter's lenses zeroed in on Bullseye's forehead, he heard Daredevil had carved out the assassin's bullseye symbol not too long ago. Based on the faint scaring, Matt was telling the truth.

'Ouch…' Peter thought as Moonstone stepped forward with a predatory gleam in her eye.

She held her hand out to Peter and spoke in a way that Peter thought was her way of trying to be seductive "Hello Spider-man…"

Peter blinked at her for a second before he glanced at Norman "Be honest Normie, was there no one else more qualified to be your fake Ms. Marvel, or was the head really that good?"

Bullseye snorted at the comment while Moonstone's eyes narrowed in anger and her voice grew slightly colder as she folded her arms across her bust "Nice to see your humor has remained with your new look… Peter Parker"

Peter responded with a slow clap, unsurprised that Norman had told some if not all of the current members of his Avengers who he was. It'd be the kind of thing he'd do just to screw with him "Wow, calling me by my secret identity while I'm in my work uniform, real original their Moonstone"

"Still can't believe that it was some photographing nerd that's been giving the Kingpin trouble all these years" Bullseye said with a shake of his head.

"I'm sorry, but haven't you been getting your but handed to you supposedly by a blind lawyer?" Peter said as he glanced at Bullseye's now scowling form "Also BTW's, that photographing nerd has kicked your but plenty of times you decaf Hawkeye!"

Bullseye snarled as he took a step towards Peter before Norman was suddenly in between the two, a particularly dark look on his face "Bullseye, go sit down"

The infamous assassin glared at Norman and was about to tell the man to screw off before Norman stepped even closer to him and the man's already cool tone tooker a far darker turn "I said, go sit down"

Bullseye glared at Norman while Peter gave him a mocking wave from behind the Iron Patriot. After a few moments, Bullseye scoffed and turned on his hell "Norman won't always be here to protect you, remember that"

"Sure, thing Trickshot, I'll remember that when I'm using you as my own personal punching bag… again" Peter snickered at the departing from of Bullseye "Also Daredevil said hi and hopes his addition to your tattoo was good or not!"

"Peter, please do try and get along with your new teammates" Norman said as he glanced back at Peter with an annoyed glare.

"Aww what's wrong, did I hurt the little psychotic killer's feelings?" Peter said with an eye roll under his mask "Want us to kiss and make up?"

"No, but you can find working on this team to be… difficult, should you continue to treat your new allies this way" Norman said.

Peter's response was a shrug "Doesn't sound all that different from any other time I'm on a team"

Norman hummed at that before he saw Daken enter the room "Ah Daken, would you be a dear and show Spider-man here to his new room?"

Peter made a squealing sound of excitement as he clapped his hands "Yaaay I'm getting escorted to my room by Wolverine's kid, dreams really do come true!"

Daken stared at the spider themed man for a moment before he sighed "I hate my fuckin life sometimes… and the urge to kill you all grows"

"And your all the stronger for resisting said urge everyday Daken" Norman said with a chuckle as he watched the son of Wolverine escort Peter too his room.

Once the two were gone, Norman pressed a button on the table that secured the room before he turned towards his team with a dark glare on his face "I'm only going to say thins once, and only once. You will be courteous and professional to him. You will bury whatever vendetta you have against him and will not under any circumstances harm him, is that clear?"

Bullseye scoffed at this as he leaned back in his chair "Or what?"

"Or I'll have Bob here throw your ass into orbit and see what kills you first, lack of oxygen or the cold" Norman said with narrowed eyes as the Sentry stood behind him with a blank yet cold expression on his face.

"Whatever..." Bullseye grumbled as he adverted his gaze from the two men while Moonstone spoke up.

"You play a very dangerous game with him Norman. First chance he get's, he'll turn on you and bring everything you've built crashing down" she warned.

"Yes, the obvious escaped me" Norman said with an eye roll "It's not like out of all of us here, I have the most experience with the man and knows what he'll do if he's given even an inch of room to maneuver"

"Then why do it, offer him a place on the team?" Ares asked with a frown.

"I have my reasons" Norman said as he turned to leave "Now if any of you need me, which I hope not, I'll be in the control center"

"Why?" Moonstone asked with a frown.

"Nothing too important, but it sounds like a several hundred foot tall robot god out in California is getting a little more... active. And I have to coordinate with Hand for the press conference we're holding tomorrow to introduce Spider-man to our team" Norman said as he exited the conference room, leaving only Moonstone, Ares, Sentry and Bullseye in it. After a few moments, the God of War left as well, followed soon by Sentry, leaving only Moonstone and Bullseye left.

"I don't like this" Bullseye said with a frown as he pulled out a arrow from his quiver and toyed with the tip of it.

"That makes two of us" Moonstone said as she glanced in the direction that Daken had taken the wall crawler "Him being here will complicate things"

"Yeah..." Bullseye said with a heavy sigh "Why'd we have to trade Mac for him?"

...

"You know, I don't know whether to be creeped out that Norman kept my room exactly how it was when I used to live here, or creeped out that Norman would go to the trouble of masking it look exactly like how it used to be when I was with the Avengers" Peter said as he walked around his old/new room while Daken stood in the doorway.

"I don't care" Daken said with a sigh 'How the hell did my father put up with this man instead of just gutting him alive and leaving him to rot?'

"Heeey, did you just think why old Wolvie hasn't killed me yet?" Peter said as he looked at Daken with narrowed lenses.

Daken blinked at this "How the hell did you know I was thinking that?"

Peter pointed towards the man's face "Your face, it got this look on it that everyone that's thought the same thing had"

"Is that right?" Daken said with a hum before he smirked "What do you think I'm thinking now?"

"Killing me... slowly" Peter said with a sigh "Your dad had the same look on his face every time he thought that too"

Daken snorted at this before he turned and left "Good to know"

Peter returned his attention back towards his room where suddenly an alert of some sort flashed over his field of vision, causing Peter to quirk a brow in surprise as it seemed to highlight a certain area by the bed. Peter cautiously approached the area and scanned the space around his bed before his eyes settled on what looked like a small ant sized camera and recorder.

'The heck?' Peter thought as he leaned down and ripped the device off the wall and held it up to his face to better examine it. His vision seemed to zoom in on the device and allowed him to better examine it. He made out the small HAMMER symbol on the side as he turned and twist it in his fingers before he crushed it between his thumb and index finger.

"Sorry Norman, but I like my privacy" Peter said to himself as he turned towards the rest of his room with narrowed eyes "I'm gonna assume he's bugged other parts of my room too"

Peter shook his head at this as he took a seat on the edge of his bed before he let out a long tired sigh and fell backwards and glanced up at the ceiling with a worried expression.

'Okay Pete, how the hell are you gonna get yourself out of this one?' the wall crawler thought as he held up a hand and stared at thee technorganic suit that now covered it 'And just what the hell am I going to do about this thing?'

"Well, at least your not trying to take me over yet, so I guess there's one upside to this whole mess- OH SHIT!" Peter said with wide eyes as he suddenly sat upright "I never called Robbie and Ben and let them know I'm alright!"

At this point, they probably think that the reports of Carnage being sighted were true and they may have just unintentionally sent Peter to his gruesome end. Peter quickly made his way to the door to try and find a way to get into contact with Front Line before his entire body froze up as he felt... something brush against his mind. Peter slowly looked around the room to see if he could find the source of the feeling. It didn't feel like a telepath, at least like the one's he's encountered in the past. This felt different, less intrusive and more of just making Peter aware that he was being watched and it felt far more powerful than even Xavier ever did whenever he was in Peter's mind, with and without consent. After several seconds, the feeling slowly faded away and Peter let out a breath he didn't even realize that he was holding.

"What the hell was that?"

...

Several floors below, various HAMMER agents patrolled the hallways, one was passing a room when he suddenly heard a faint 'thud' like sound. The agent paused before he glanced at the room and slowly approached it.

"Control, Sentry four over" the agent said as he stood in front of the door, his high powered assault rifle at the ready.

Several seconds passed before the sentry received a response "Go ahead sentry four"

"I'm outside a small room on the east side, floor forty eight, is it being used for anything?" The agent asked as he slowly opened the door to see the room was dark and the window was open.

"Negative, all floors on that level are scheduled for remodeling and or repair from the Skrull's invasion. Is someone in there?" Control questioned as the agent scanned the room for signs that someone was in there.

After a few seconds, he shook his head "No, but I did find a window open. One of the contractors must have opened it when they had a smoke and forgot to close the damn thing"

"Understood. Secure the window and make sure nothing got in regardless and then continue your patrol if nothing's discovered" Control stated as the agent went to close the window and lock it down.

"Roger that control, sentry four out" the HAMMER agent said as he turned his attention away from the window... and right into the face of the Wolverine.

"What the-"

SNIKT!

"UGHH!" the agent let out a pained groan as three Adamantium claws pierced his chest before his mouth was covered to keep him from alerting any of the other guards nearby.

Logan watched with impassive eyes as the life drained from the man as he slowly lowered the man to the floor before he withdrew his claws from his chest and scanned the room for signs of any other HAMMER agents. Seeing and hearing none nearby, Logan grunted as he sheathed his claws and made his way towards the door.

"Hang in there Webs, I'm commin for ya"


And done.
