"What should we do now?" Harrison asked, looking at Carrie's body in disgust as he passed.

"Now," Joshua smirked. "We take revenge."

3 Months Later

Peter was ecstatic. He was going to visit the tower today, after the first time in months.

Although Peter said he would visit...he didn't exactly keep that promise...? He had told Tony that he just wasn't comfortable in there at the time. The tower still brought up fresh and painful memories, but today Peter had decided to visit. He wanted to see the people he considered family.

He was outside the tower, ready to walk in. With a huff of determination, he entered the tower. "Hello, Peter. Would you like me to alert Mr. Stark of your arrival?" Friday asked him.

"No, I want it to be a suprise!" He smiled widely, placing a finger over his lips. He stepped into the elevator. "Take me to the floor Tony is on."

"To the common room it is." Friday replied. He was excited, yet nervous. He hadn't been in there in weeks.

The elevator doors opened, and the Avengers (who were watching a movie) all turned to look at who had arrived. Tony's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree as he ran over to Peter and engulfed him in a hug. The rest of the Avengers soon joining in. Peter didn't notice at the time, but Steve wasn't there.

"Y-You're here! I-I thought you said you weren't ready!" Tony said, patting Peter as if to make sure he was real. Peter giggled.

"Well I'm ready now." Peter smiled. "It has been awhile, hasn't it? I should be fine."

"Hmm, I don't know Peter." Bruce spoke up. "You endured a lot of trauma."

"I'm fine now, aren't I?" Peter asked with a shrug. "Also, I feel really bad about this...but..."

"What is it?" Tony asked.

"Can I live with you guys? I've already asked Ned's parents and they were fine with it! I just...couldn't bear to leave you guys..." Peter smiled awkwardly. Tony was overjoyed.

"I've already made your room!" Tony exclaimed. He led Peter to a massive room, decked in Star Wars and Spiderman merch. Peter's smile grew even wider. "It's all yours, consider it a welcome home gift."

"Thank you, Tony." Peter smiled softly as he and Tony embraced.

The next day, Peter was walking into the common room. He entered, and spotted Steve on the couch. "Uncle Steve?" He asked. Steve jumped and span around so fast, Peter was surprised he didn't get whiplash.

Steve had large bags underneath his eyes, his face was stubbly, and his hair was greasy. He looked terrible, to put it lightly. "P-Peter? Wh-Wh-Wh-Wh-What are you doing h-h-h-h-here?" He asked. Peter noticed that he seemed to be twitching.

"Are you okay?" Peter asked. "No offense, but you look awful."

"Me? I'm fine. I'm fine. Why are you asking? Are you interrogating me? You don't trust me. He doesn't trust me." Steve backed away from Peter.

"Uncle Steve?" Peter asked. Steve hastily exited the room. "That's...weird..."

At that moment, Bucky walked in. "Oh, hey Pete!"

"Uncle Bucky, what's wrong with Uncle Steve?" Peter asked. Bucky sighed.

"I don't know what's up with Steve. He's been...different. I want to help him but he's not letting me in!" Bucky admitted. "He won't tell me what's wrong." He sighed. "Everyone has noticed, I don't understand what could be making him act that way."

"Maybe he's sick?" Peter asked.

"Sick in the head." Peter turned around to see Tony. "The guy's been acting like a lunatic." He scoffed and rolled his eyes. Peter furrowed his eyebrows. "But seriously, I hope he's okay. The team needs him, he holds us together."

"Does Uncle Bruce have an idea of what's wrong with him?" Peter asked.

"Nope, not a clue." Tony shook his head. "He's just as stumped as everyone else. We asked Ms. Cho if she knew. Nope."

"I don't understand why'd he hide it from me." Bucky mumbled. "I've know him since...well, forever ago. I thought we agreed, no secrets."

"Sorry for such a mood damper right when you got back, kiddo." Tony ruffled Peter's hair.

"It's fine, I hope he's okay though." Peter sighed.

"We all do, kid." Bucky said. "We all do."

Susie: Hey Darius?

Darius: What's up?

Susie: Did I do something wrong?

Darius: What gave you that idea?

Susie: It's just that...you've been avoiding me and I thought that I'd done something wrong...

Darius: W-Well I've just been busy trying to handle all the new workers, y'know? It's gotten pretty hectic.

Susie: Oh, I understand! Phew, I really thought I had done something!

Darius: Yeah, isn't that a silly thought...
