Peter hung up the phone he was pretty confident that Iron Man wouldn't be able to track him but to be on the safe side he sat at the shipping dock on the other side of the city far away from his makeshift home. Peter hoped his acting skills had been believable having built this phone himself and attached it to his mask he was also confident that the number couldn't be linked back to Peter Parker. Still, he was nervous if this was okay to make the Avengers mad. He still didn't know why they needed his identity, something in the back of his mind told him that they weren't going to stop until they got it. Something else seemed to be going on and the Avengers don't seem to know what it was either. To Peter the Avengers were ordered by SHIELD to get his information but there was no file on why. At least no digital file.

He also couldn't keep running and hiding forever he was either going to get caught or someone was going to get hurt in the crossfire, which he defiantly didn't want that to happen. He stood up there was only one way to get the information he wanted that was going to the source. Spider-man sighed he knew this was dangerous he knew this could go very, very badly, but really what choice did he have? There was no way he was giving up his identity no way he was going to give up his freedom to a spy organization that might what to dissect him to figure out how his powers work or use him as some sort of weapon.

And yes he was speaking from experience.

Sure, SHIELD didn't seem like that type of organization, but SHEILD was still dodgy. He had spent a lot of time digging though their files many things didn't add up there was something shady going on and whatever they were hiding could lead to the mysterious reason why they wanted him now after nearly four years of being Spider-man.

It was now or never he couldn't talk himself out of this. He was getting tired of running from the Avengers they were closing in on him anyway so it was either this or wait until he was eventually caught. He needed to find out what was going on, he needed to put a stop to this before someone 'namely him' got hurt. Taking a deep breath, he jumped off the building he was resting on and swung up to a shipping crane. From there he jumped into the freezing water to find the Helicarrier.

He could hold his breath for a good fifteen minutes longer if he really pushed it, but It didn't take long to find the massive ship/ plane thing since he hacked into their system to get a location sure he could have gone through there super-secret surface entrance that was attached to the docks but he needed to be extremely stealthy about this so the water way it was. He located the hatch and quickly making his way inside.

He hacked the doors locks and made sure there were no alarms. Once inside he dried off the best he could and changed suits to his stealth suit he took off his usual mask to revel the stealth mask on underneath and stuffed his wet Spider-man suit in to the water tight bag he brought with him. his stealth suit was almost like his usual red and black suit the different was it was a little darker and had tech woven into the suit so he could turn invisible for short amount of time. Of course, it did heat up the suit quite a bit and then he would be valuable to heat detectors and infrared. So, for the most part he would be relying on his natural spider sneakiness.

He crawled thought the events forcing himself to stay calm and silent. Trying to be the friendly neighborhood Spider-man he didn't do the silent creepier thing like sneaking around very often.

'This place is a maze' he thought seeing all the halls looking the same not to mention there were a lot of agents wondering around.

"If I was a secret file where would I be?" he whispered stopping silently to take out a little screen. So far no alarms had been set off there for he was still undetected. He sighed looking at the map he downloaded this boat was a lot bigger in person then what he had seen from his computer screen.

About half hour later he made it to a sealed room this room looked a lot higher tech then the others he past and this was the one room he wasn't able to hack into. So, beyond this door was completely unknow to him. he just hoped it was what he was looking for. activating his stealth suit, he hopped down and walked to the access panel. Silently he took off the casing and went to work hacking the lock with his trusty note pad, pencil and screen. He trusted his spider sense world warn him if someone was coming so he just focused on getting in. after a few minutes the door clicked and hissed open. He smiled to himself silently praising for his skills. After replacing the cover, he walked into the darkened room the door closing behind him.

Seeing no cameras, he switched off his stealth suit and sighed deflating a little. The room was massive almost looking like a warehouse then a room sitting at the bottom of the Hutson. There were crates lining the walls and pallets making rows down the length of the room. It was going to take forever to search everything. Grumbling to himself he set to work trying to find anything related to Spider-man and the secrets SHIELD kept hidden.

5mins into he searches he felt the boat began to hum and vibrate. Cursing slightly, he looked at the little screen.

The Helicarrier was moving. Shaking his head, he got back to work there wasn't anything he could do about it now and there might not be a second change for him to look at SHIELD's hard copies like this.

He would cross that bridge when he came to it. he thought

Peter lost track of time the more stuff he found the more he had questions. He was right when something didn't add up with SHIELD but so far he still hadn't found what he was rally looking for. what was SHIELD after? if this was even SHIELD's plan to begin with. Peter the mad he way to a box this bow had no marking on its sliver surface. Peter wasn't sure why he was drawn to this box or why he felt he need to open it. the box looked like something out of science fiction there were now obvious seems no prostrations except for a small key pad the had a little LED screen that read CLASSIFIED the letters flashed for a few seconds before disappearing and spelling the word flashing and disappeared again. Peter tilled his head curios he stepped forward carefully his spider sense didn't go off so he felt it was safe probably not a bomb so hopeful nothing to dangerous. He hacked the lock easily a little too easily but Peter ignored the little voice in his head telling him something wasn't right he only listened to his sixth sense the silence telling him everything was fine.

The box opened with a hiss; Peter didn't know what he expected but he could help the feeling of being a little disappointed at the contexts. All that was in the box was a flash drive and a vile of blood…

"Now why would you have a box this big for two little things?" Peter asked himself he didn't have time to answer that though as his Spider sense rang in his head he head the door opening and several heavy foot falls echoing in the room

He had been discovered.

He didn't know how but they knew he was in here. He grabbed the flash drive and carefully and more importantly quietly closed the box the turned on his stealth suit and got to higher ground to see 15 armed and very dangerous looking SHIELD agents' storm in with guns raised and ready to fire. if he could slip out unnoticed he might get out of this without fighting there was not alarm so maybe this was a routine check.

A routine check with 15 armed agents searching a room of boxes

he couldn't stay long he could feel the suit heating up in another few minutes he would be visible again and he can't count on luck that they won't look up.

Here goes nothing

He crawled on the ceiling to the door he dropped down right by the door but as he did so the stealth suit became visible again an agent shouted the others turned and began shouting and shooting.

"Just my luck!" Peter gasped as he jumped out of the way alarms started blaring along with another round of cursing from Spiderman in the back of his head he could hear Aunt May's voice anything he would use bad words how uncle ben would say he should never curse when there was other way to express yourself other ways to be kind to other.

'Not now' he shouted at his brain as he jumped and dodged bullets. More agents appeared at the junction in the hall the bullets they held up guns Spider-Man didn't waste any time he made a dive for them they shouted trying to grab on to him but he did an expert flip and was over them in well into another hall before they knew what happened. More alarms blared and defensive systems activated in the walls, floor and ceiling

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me." Peter huffed narrowly avoiding being cut in half with lasers and a mini rocket. Who in their right mind would a rocket launcher in the floor inside a ship?

An explosion went off he cringed at the sound jumping out of the smoke fill hall and right into another bunch of agents. One grabbed his arm trying to force him to the ground he expectantly flips over the agent kicking another one in the face and spinning around forcing the agent to let go of him. Peter then used said agent as a spring board jumping to the ceiling and into the air ducked. "Not good not good" Peter repeated as he crawled trying to find an exit, alarms still blaring. He turned a corner now seeing metal walls slamming shut in front of him turning slighting the same thing was happening behind him he quickened his paste the space getting smaller trying to trap him. he made it to a vent; diving for it he made it into another room infirmary it looked like a man in a white coat screamed in surprise.

"Sorry wrong room!" he shouted back running to the door and back into the maze of hall ways. Where was he? Spider-man tuned in a quick circle wondering which way to go he didn't have time to check his map for directions he needed to get off this boat. He took a few steps to the right spider sense rang louder so he turned left and began running again footsteps soon following behind him.

A stay bullet nicked his arm as he turned a corner he ignored the pain in his arm and just kept running. He made it to a door throwing it open he felt the cool breeze of the night air he was outside that was good but now seeing want was in front of him made his blood freeze.

The Avengers

"This is really, really not good" Spider-man muttered to himself there standing on the Helicarior deck were six of the Avengers 'This was just great why couldn't I have had a little warning?' Peter asked his Sixth sense.

His spider-sense didn't answer

"Nice night isn't it?" Spider-Man said over the wind. He couldn't see how high they were or even if they were still near New York but at the moment that was the least of his concerns.

"Surrender Spider-Man" Captain America shouted the door behind him opened again 20 agents ran out guns raised and soon he was surrounded. Peter wanted to laugh out loud at his rotten luck but he didn't want to give up not when he was almost free. He just had to go through the Avengers and several dozen SHEILD agents no problem right…

"Sorry Cap this was a little misunderstanding you see I thought this was a different Hellicaior and I must have gotten on this one by mistake no harm done so if you don't mind I will just go." Spider-Man said pointing to the side. the Avengers, SHIELD agents and Spider-man were at a standoff.

Spider-man was wearing a darker suit but there was no mistaking the spider symbol on his chest and the white lenses of a full-face mask

"Stand down and surrender." Several agents shouted Spider-man smiled back crookedly either though no own could see it. Mind whirring over everything that had been presented to him so far by these "agents" and Avengers who just wanted to help him. In his experience nobody wanted just to help you with nothing in return.

"Look I don't know you and I sure as hell don't trust you. Not anymore." Spiderman said the last part at the Avengers "I don't plan on signing my life away to some creeps who could be trying to kill me for all I know."

"Spider-man we just need a name."

"a name?" he laughed "yeah and the next thing I know the whole world will have my name and I will have a bunch of people knocking at my door sorry but no thank you. I don't know what is going on or who put you all up to this but I want no part in it."

"Spider-Man—"

"Sorry Webs but you are surrounded there is no way you can run now so just make this easier on yourself so we can all go home." Tony said his tone almost sounding sorry for the webslinger. Spider-Man just shrugged

"No, I'm sorry." He said and in a blink of an eye he was gone.

"Where did he go!" several Agents and Clint shouted

"He right there!" Tony shouted his face plate closed pointing to the right several Agents fired in that direction only to be knocked down by and invisible force.

"I didn't know Spider-Man can turn invisible!" Scott shouted seeing guns go flying out of agent's hands.

"I don't think it is him. I see… it's is suit I see him on infrared. Cap to your right about 15 yards." Tony shouted Cap throw his shield and it stopped flouting in the air the Shield moved to the right blocking the firing of guns before ricocheting off the bulkhead and taking out several more agents. Clint fired an arrow in that general direction but it hit nothing and exploded. In the smoke Natasha could see a humanoid shape she charges trying to tackle the figure but the shape was faster jumping over her and out of the smoke.

"Watch out!" Tony shouted

Webs came out of nowhere hitting Flacon and pushed him off the edge of the Helicarrier "he's getting away!" someone shouted

Clint fired a bright light flashed over the side of the Helicarrier when the light died Spider-man was once again visible and falling through the night sky.

"I hit him with a small charge EMP" Clint satiated as Tony dove after the free falling webslinger.

Spider-Man's web shooters weren't working the dark water was getting closer and above him was Iron Man

For the third time in as many weeks get was plucked out of the air

"Need a hand" the metallic voice of Tony Stark said over the cold wind.

"No not really" Spider-Man said webbing Iron man in the face and trying to jump out of his arms but Iron man was ready this time. He held on tighter as he swore straight.

"Hey I can't see when you do that."

"That is kind of the point."

"You're not that bright are you if I can't see we might crash!" Tony shouted but he couldn't move to get the webbing off.

"Yeah well—." Spider-Man didn't get the chance to finish as the two of them hit the water Spider-man felt the breath get knocked out of him as the cold water was like a shock to his entire body he pulled iron man up seeing if he could either get out of he's grasp or back to the surface. Iron Man repulse made the water bubble as they shot back to the surface.

"Sorry but this is going to hurt me a lot more then it hurts you." Spider-Man said

"that's not how—

Spider-Man punched Tony hard in the helmet with an enough force his flight path versed off to the right

"Tony!" Sam shouted flying towards them. Spider-Man hit Tony again with a little more force Iron Man let go Spider-man felt himself freefalling again Falcon fired his deadly feather Spider-Man hissed as one hit him in the leg and the other in is already wounded shoulder. Twisting his body midair, he now was diving head first to a much more familiar landscape the brightly lit city of Staten Island. His web shooters still weren't working and the grown was now fast approaching. He braced for impact hoping he was close enough that the fall wasn't going to kill him.

CRASH!

Spider-Man broke thought a window in a warehouse. He hit the ground and rolled crashing into several metal beams which finally stop him. Peter groaned his body screaming in pain.

"Yep hurt me more than him." he grunted Hearing the sound of the human rocket and his bird friend getting closer. Spider-man force himself to get up. "Sometimes I hate my life." He muttered to himself grunting and groaning he moved to get to somewhere safe. He melted into the shadows as Iron Man and Falcon came through the hole his fall had made.

"Where did he go that fall would have killed a normal person." Falcon shouted

"Well let's hope it didn't kill Spider-man" Tony said worried as he shinned his light around the abandoned warehouse.

Spider-man dipped deeper into the shadows forcing himself not to make a sound as his body screamed at him. he didn't hear the worry in Iron man's voice or the surprise that he had survived all he heared was the blood pumping though his head and his spider sense ring in his ears.

He continued moving backward away from the Avengers he slipped the clanging of metal hitting the concert floor echoing in the dark instantly Iron Man's light shinned in that direction

"Spider-man stop we do want to hurt you" Falcon shouted

Spider-Man wanted to laugh at the irony he dipped into the shadows as the came closer not wanting to be caught he made a clumsy mad dash for the door.

"There! wait stop!" Tony shouted as the two Avengers saw a figure run out the door. Spider-Man did not stop he just ran jumping feeling his body crack and groan from the stain. He had to get out of there. His vison became blurry but still he ran repulsons peppered the ground around him Spider-Man stopped for a brief moment to pick-up some debris form the dock throwing it as hard as his body would allow distracting the Avengers as he vanished once again into the shadows.

"pisst Spider-Man in here" Spider-man wiped his head around seeing a man in his late forties early fifties waving him over Spider-Man didn't know what to do but looking back seeing the light of the two Avengers growing closer. he limped over to the man. The man nodded and lead him to a building off the docs but still out of the city. He limped as fast as he could knowing that the Avengers could be closing in. he watched the man leading him wondering if following some stranger was a good idea, so far spider sense wasn't going off so since there wasn't much other option he continued to follow. They made it to a small shop the man unlocked the door and moved aside to let the injured hero past. Hesitantly Spider-man hobbled inside.

"Leave the lights off" Spider-man stated stopping the man an inch from the light switch "they might see it and check it out." he added quickly and in a softer tone.

"Yeah your right." He nodded and stepped back. Peter grabbed a chair and sat down heaving a sigh fighting the urge to curl up and sleep for a week.

"My name is Dan Coleman this is my shop I was cleaning up to for tomorrow about to head home when I saw you crash."

Peter was barely listening he nodded. "Thanks for your help but I need to go." He said standing ignoring the pain and blinking as his vision blurred trying to keep the shakiness out of his voice

"Your hurt pretty badly you should rest here until it is safe." Mr. Coleman said holding up his hand a worried frown on his face.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you helping me from the Avengers?" Spider-Man asked not sure what else to say at the moment. For all he knew this could be a trap and he was just buying time for the Avengers to burst through the door to drag him away. His vison grew blurrier and he was trying to focus, in his condition he knew he wouldn't last long against all the Avengers.

"The Avengers are wrong! You're New York's hero, you're here for the little guys as much as the big ones, you help people when it does nothing but cause you pain and suffering. Those avengers don't know anything about being a true hero and they don't know anything about you! I'm not going to just stand around as they drag you though the dirt!" he cleared his throat "If I can do the smallest thing, even if you barely remember it to help a hero as pure as yourself, then I've lived a life worth living. Your spider-man and you damn well deserve every kindness that comes your way!" He added his voice dropping to a whisper but still full of determination.

Peter eyes widened at the statement and the passion in the man's tone

"Sorry for the out bust." He muttered looking down to the floor

"No, no thanks it's just I don't hear that much." Spider-Man said now leaning up on the counter.

"You saved my daughter from a terrible fate once and I can't thank you enough for that so you don't need to worry, you have a place here as long as you need too." The man gave a little smile in the dark.

"Thank you but I can't get you in harm's way with the Avengers after me. You have helped enough so thank you." Peter said pushing off the counter and limping to the door

"Are you sure you will be okay?" Spider-Man nodded and opened the door the cool breeze washed over him. He couldn't hear the Avengers any more. Still, he didn't want to stick around to see if they were still in the area.

He had done it he had gotten away he was live and he had escaped the Avengers a second time. But he couldn't stay as much as he wanted to as much as he was hurt and tired; he needed rest and somewhere he could heal and he wasn't sure how long Mr. Coleman was going to give him before he was turned over to the cops or worse the Avengers. Sure, he didn't think the shop owner would but has his luck has been going so far he couldn't be curtain.

Peter vison swam again going in and out of focused he wasn't sure where he was going, he just knew he needed as much distant from the Avengers.

Soon he Finds himself at a familiar place. He made it to the window and right when he was about to knock the window opened and there stood Matt

"Peter what happened"

"Sorry I needed too" he slurred he should not have come here the Avengers were probably fallowing him he should—

"Get in here I will call Carol"

"it's fine I just need rest." He stepped into the dark apartment tripping into the arms of his only friend as He drifted off he wouldn't make it to his hideout anyway he felt the fight leaving his body. he was so tired. He had gotten away right this was fine…

"Pete, Pete? Peter stay wake okay stay with me." Matt shouted he could here Peter's heart beat slow down and it freaked him out Peter always healed fast and his heartbeat always reminded him of a humming bird's so hearing it falter and fade made something shift uncomeatable in his chest. Grabbing the phone, he pushed the buttons in a familiar pattern

"You better not be hurt Matt because I am not—

"it's not me it's Spider-Man he is at my place he's… its bad." He spoke quickly not even bothering to hide the panic in his voice.

"I'm on my way" she hung up

"Please hurry." He said to the phone setting it down he ran back to the young hero's side "stay with me kid"

Peter's heart beat fluttered "here I- I got this." Peter held out an object Matt felt the cool metal it was smooth and thick.

"Pete what is this where did you get this?" Matt asked moving his fingers around the device trying to deviser what it was.

"SHIELD." Was all he said before passing out.

"Peter?!" Matt asked listening for a heartbeat that was barely beating. SHIELD was secret government organization that sent the Avengers after Spider-man. Matt held the strange metal stick wounding if it was a flash drive or something else what secrete did this hold that Peter risked his life to get.

"What have you gotten yourself into?" he asked just then there was a knock at the door Matt quickly opened the door to see the worried face of Carol and Foggy

"he's on the couch." Matt said without greeting Carol rushed in not wasting anytime to check the hero over.

"What happened?" Foggy asked with concern

"I don't know but I am sure it had something to do with the Avengers."

"You don't think the Avengers…" his voice faltered looking in the direction of Spider-Man "they wouldn't go that far would they?" Foggy's voice quivered his hart fluttering in panic.

"If you two are done talking I need help moving him." Carol snapped Matt picked up Peter who was limp in his arms his chest hammered painfully against his chest. Peter was far too light and skinny far more than he ever realized it. he felt the sticky blood soaking into his clothes. 'please hang in there' he thought repeatably in his head

"don't take off his mask he is very protective of his identity more than I ever was especially now… not when the Avengers are after him for it." Matt said setting down Peter on the bed.

"I understand" she said then sighed "he has been shot and there are several glass shards that need to be removed not to mention several broken bones. She listed off anger and sadness in her voice.

"I thought he had some sort of healing factor." Foggy asked coming into the room

"He does but it isn't like it always works instantly it is faster than normal people but I think it works bast on his metabolism I am not sure how it works he has never explained all his powers to me or anything." Matt said Carol got to work stitching up the best she could until Spider-Man's healing factor would kick in… if it kicked in.

He was angry. Angry at himself angry at the avengers angry at Peter for not trusting him enough to tell him how he could help but mostly he was just angry at himself for letting this happen letting this get so far out of hand "I am going out for a bit." Matt said turning and grabbing his suit

"Matt you better not be thinking what I think you're thinking." Foggy gasped following his friend watching him stomp to the window "please don't if Spider-man got beaten this badly what chance to do you have. Matt for once think about your own safety."

"I can take care of myself and I am not doing this for myself I am doing it for him." Matt pointed in the general direction of his room where a hero lay broken and battered. "He told me to stay low thinking I could also be in danger and like an idiot I listen and he does this whatever it is alone I could have helped but I was worried that…" his voice faltered he was never really good at expressing how he felt how important his friends were to him he couldn't take the chance of his identity getting out because…

"You did it for us didn't you?" Foggy said quietly. Matt didn't say anything because it was the truth and it hurt more knowing Spider-Man was a kid not even 18 yet and he fought to protect him an adult. The kid fought to protect all of them while he laid low and let it happen. If Peter died he wouldn't be able to live with himself.

"I…"

"Just promise me you won't do anything stupid one injured hero is enough." Foggy said walking back into the bedroom to help Carol.

"I will" he whispered his mind sent and his voice cold as he jumped out the window.
