I was laying on the couch with my head in MJ's lap, as she sketched waiting for Ned and Tom to arrive so Sam could start therapy. Something that Aunt May, Mrs. Leeds, and Mrs. Thomspon all said we needed after everyone undid the Snap. Tom and I were taking it since we were part of the ones Snapped, while MJ and Ned were taking it for the aftermath, plus the riots that broke out, that caused Aunt May and I to start living in the tower that Pepper rebought after the other company put it up for sale due to the reactor. Tony and Pepper got married, which was a really hyped out event. Bigger than the royal wedding, hyped. Tony retired as Iron Man, Rhodney was still Iron Patriot (still a shitty name), but lived in the tower with us when he wasn't in D.C. During the weekends we'd head over to the compound for training.
Flash really changed from the Snap and we all started to call him Tom. Tom even landed an internship with Stark Industries with Ned and MJ. MJ worked directly with Pepper as her Intern. Nat took a liking to MJ and was teaching her. While Ned worked directly under the head of the coding department, but would be pulled out to work with Tony and I. Tom was really excelling in the clean energy department, and we'd pull him out to work in the lab as well. Sam took a liking to Tom as well and was training him.
"What are you drawing?" I asked her to get out of my head.
"Just something I keep seeing. Have been for a while. Same three numbers and a place. Twelve, five, forty-two. And an alleyway. I just. I have this really bad feeling and it hasn't been this bad since the field trip." MJ said as she stopped and tilted her sketchbook so I could see it to see those three numbers and the alleyway.
"Well, Ned and I both say your psychic." I said with a half shrug, before MJ started to run her fingers through my hair, making me relax even more.
"Since when?"
"Couple years, start of eigth grade actually. Around the time your Grandma Emily left to go spend time with her sister." I said and MJ froze making me open my eyes to look at her, where I could all but see her putting the pieces together.
"I need to go make a call. Sam, can I reschedule my therapy to be a couple hours from now?"
"Ya, sure." Sam said and I sat up.
"Did I say something wrong?" I asked her.
"No. You just gave me a clue." She said before kissing my cheek, and leaving with her sketchbook.
"Well, okay then." I said before I looked over at Sam.
"How are you after your last session?"
"The nightmares aren't as bad anymore. Less panic attacks about turning to dust." I said and he nodded.
"That's good. You know where you are when you wake up?" He asked.
"Half the time, I do." I said and he nodded before Tom and Ned showed up.
"Sorry, we're late. I had to drop off some food back at the house for mom." Tom said.
"Sup, Pete." He said.
"Not much."
"Where's MJ?" Ned asked.
"Going to call someone." I siad.
"And we've agreed to have her session in a couple hours." Sam said before he started our session. Once done, I headed out to the lab where I found Tony on the phone. I raised an eyebrow at him, and he held up a finger than started to write something down, then handed it to me.
"Harley Keener. Remember when I told you about him?" I read and I nodded giving him back the paper, where he still talked on the phone as he wrote.
"Well, his mom has cancer. I'm bringing him, his mom and little sister to the tower so she can have the best treatment. Harley will attend Midtown, with all of you and you will get along just fine." I read and I nodded then waited a few minutes before Tony hung up.
"How was your therapy?"
"Good. MJ's rescheduling hers to be in a couple hours as she makes a phone call."
"Why?"
"She's been seeing three numbers. The same three numbers and a place. Twelve, five, forty-two. And an alleyway, for at least a week I guess. Told her that Ned and I have been calling her psychic since eigth grade and it was like something clicked in her mind. I'll ask her later." I said.
"Huh. Well, try and not blow up my lab while Pepper and I are gone. Neither of us should have any meetings while we are gone, but I'm trusting you, Ned, Tom and MJ to keep things running smoothly." Tony said and I nodded.
"You got it boss." I said and he made a face at that which made me smile before he ruffled my hair.
"Your suit is fixed, just try and not damage it to bad while I'm gone." Tony said.
"I'll try not to. Try and not step in any cow shit." I said and he scoffed before walking away. I left the lab, and headed to the floor below that was just for us teens.
"Hey. How's the coding going?" i asked Ned as I dived onto a giant beanbag.
"It's good. I'm going to need your help for the special scanners though."
"Ya, how soon can we start on that?"
"Two hours. How's Aunt May's cooking lesson going?" Ned asked and I tilted my head up, listening to Rhodney talk to Aunt May.
"Sounds good so far." I said.
"That's good." Tom said from his own beanbag.
"How's the other changes?" I asked.
"Completed." Tom said and I nodded.
"Hey, Pete. Mario Kart, Fifa or Super Smash Bros?" Tom asked.
"Mario Kart." I said as I grabbed my switch controller.
"Hey, Ned. Shoot a message over to Clint, telling him to get on, also turn the mic on, on his end, but keep ours silent." I said and Tom started laughing.
"Oh this is going to be even better." Ned said and I smirked. After a few moments of setting up, Tom, Clint and I were playing.
"Ha! Blueshell!" I said.
"You asshole!" I heard Clint yell, which made Tom and I laugh, before I hit him with a green shell taking the winning first place. Tom and I laughed as Clint yelled, then demanded more rounds, so we complied each time with me winning.
"Peter, you absolute jackass!" Tom yelled as he threw a pillow at me, making me laugh.
"Alright, coding is done. Pete, let's start the scanners." Ned said so we stopped planning to get to work.
"Oh, ya. Pete. I wanted to ask this earlier. Where were Tony and Pepper going?" Tom asked.
"Tennessee. There's a kid there, named Harley Keener. He helped Tony out during the whole Mandarin thing, and ever since Tony has been keeping tabs on him, calling to check in. Ms. Keener has cancer, so Tony is going to have her moved to the tower for better treatment. We'll work on their rooms later." I said as we worked.
"Cool. How old?"
"Uh. Harley is around our age. He's got a sister, but I don't know how old, so sorry." I said.
"Sweet. Another genuis."
"Yep. Hey, try that." I said as I backed up and Tom tried to step off the elevator, only for the scanner and barrier to react, rejecting him.
"Alright, now with the card." Ned said, as he held it out. Tom held it and it allowed him to pass through.
"Hell ya, we did it!" I said and we all high fived each other.
"Alright. I'll add this to vents up high." I said.
"We'll get the others." Tom said and we split up the work until it was time for dinner.
"You three have been busy." Rhodney said and we all smiled, which made MJ raise an eyebrow.
"Wait, you guys actually did it?" she asked
"Yep!" We all said and she actually smiled.
"I'm almost scared to ask." Rhodney said as he sat down.
"Good." MJ said before we all started to talk and eat.
"Don't stay out to late." Aunt May said and I nodded while us teens headed to the floor below after doing the dishes.
"Oh, this is perfect." MJ said when she pressed her hand to the wall after she couldn't walk through it without the badge.
"It's on the vents as well."
"Oh thank god. FRIDAY?"
"We can listen in, but they can't listen to us." Ned said.
"Plus KAREN." I said.
"Hello, everyone. Tom, your mother is fixing to call to remind you to come home." KAREN said.
"Right. Ned, MJ need a ride?" Tom asked.
"Yes, please." Ned said.
"No, I told my parents, I'd be staying to keep a better eye on the business while Tony and Pepper are gone." MJ said.
"Alright." Tom said and I bumped my fist with him, before Ned and I did our handshake. I looked at MJ before we sat down on the couch.
"I called Grandma Emily about this."
"And?"
"She wasn't shocked but said she was coming to explain it to me in person. Said that she would help me. She was pretty vague about it."
"Huh. Want me to be there?" I asked and she let out a slow breath.
"No, but thank you for the offer." She said and I nodded.
"Go ahead and head out."
"You sure?"
"Ya. I'll be fine. I'll let you know if anything changes with the three numbers or the location." she said and I nodded, before i kissed her softly, then headed up to Tony's lab. I jumped into my suit, and then jumped out the window.
In the morning, I fixed pancakes for everyone and got dressed.
"Have a good day." Aunt May said and I nodded before I headed down, where MJ and I headed to the front desk.
"Good morning, Mr. Parker. Good morning, Miss Jones." I heard Mrs. Lillian say.
"Good morning, Mrs. Lillian. And please, call me Peter." I said as I scanned my card.
"Michelle." MJ said before she scanned her card and we left. Since our school wasn't far from the tower, we decided to walk talking about the latest Stark phone, that should be hitting the market soon, when I tensed some.
"What's wrong?" MJ asked and I carefully glanced around before I spotted one of Ross men. I acted like I didn't see anything as we walked.
"We're being followed. Still got those ICER Bombs, I gave you?"
"Yep." She said and handed one over. I carefully pulled the string that was on top, and threw it at them, before grabbing MJ's hand and bolting. We got to the school, panting and laughing then I stood up.
"Come on. We still got to let Rhodney know, and get to class." I said and she nodded while I pulled out my phone.
"Kid, your supposed to be at school." Rhodney said as soon as he picked up.
"MJ and I just arrived. I'm calling because Ross sent men to follow us."
"What?!"
"We're fine and got away."
"I'm almost scared how, but i know I have to. So, how?"
"ICER bomb."
"And now I'm scared to ask how you made that. Alright. I'll send someone over to pick you up immediatly after your practice. No lolliy gagging or anything."
"Alright." I said and he hung up. We got to the others, to see Tom was annoyed.
"Sup, man?" I asked as I opened my locker.
"Had one of Ross men following me, when I was picking up Ned. Made him toss a couple of thse ICER bombs out and an EMP to their car."
"You were being followed to?"
"I don't like this." MJ said.
"Neither to I." I said as I shut my locker.
"Let's all just agree to be even more careful. SHIELD is back, stronger than ever after Tony and I made those chairs. So there won't be a chance of HYDRA reforming inside of SHIELD ever again. The Accords were rewritten, and fall under SHIELD and the UN control, not Ross." I said.
"He's just being a child." Tom said.
"A child that still hold a lot of government power. We can't be careless with him around." MJ said.
"Especially with Tony and Pepper gone for a few days to bring Harley's family up. Ross will be desprite to grab us, as we are the only teens with access to the Penthouse and the compound. He'll want to know why, and we all know why I can't be grabbed." I said.
"I might also be falling into the category, but won't know for sure until Grandma Emily arrives." MJ said.
"Great, just what we all need." Tom said with a scowl.
"Just. Keep the panic button's ready, along with everything else. We need to go about our day carefully." I said and everyone nodded, before the bell rang.
"See you later, losers." MJ said before she kissed my cheek and left.
"See ya in history." I told Tom as I bumped fist with him.
"Yep. Can't wait for today to be over with."
"We still got practice, and MJ will kill us if we bail." I said and he groaned before walking away. At lunch, we all headed outside to enjoy the weather. MJ was using me as a backrest as she sketched.
"Any changes?" I asked her.
"Still the same three numbers and the alleyway. I just. I can't stop sketching them. This was a brand new sketchbook, and I've already filled it half way with the numbers and alleyway." She said and I frowned some at that, but didn't say anything.
"What do you feel?" I asked and she stopped drawing the number five for a moment.
"Terror, the urge to scream, pain and then nothing."
"Nothing?" Tom asked for me.
"Nothing, like death." MJ said softly shocking all of us. I swallowed at that, and a few moments later, MJ walked off to answer a phone call.
"Ned."
"I'll have FRIDAY and KAREN start a sweep of the city any alleyways close to the numbers." He said.
"Tom."
"I'll start looking for any escape murder convicts, and have FRIDAY and KAREN start people analyzing." He said and I nodded before MJ came back, only to go back to sketching, causing Ned, Tom and I to share a look, all of us agreeing we need to find out what the hell is going on. At the end of the day, and pracitce, I walked out of school to see Rhodney glaring at Ross.
"Ah shit." I said but walked forward.
"Rhodney, I didn't think it would be you, picking me up today." I said.
"I had the time, plus your Aunt was called in for the night shift at the hospital, and I told her I get you home safely." Rhodney said and I nodded.
"What's going on?" I asked but Rhodney sent me a look.
"Okay, classified. I'll be in the car." I said and went to the car. I shut the door and pulled out my phone, to act like a normal teen.
"How does that kid and his friends have access to the Tower and the compound?"
"They are Interns. High level interns because of how hard working they are and are family friends. Good day, Ross." Rhodney said before he got into the drivers seat. He buckled up, and the car started to move on autopilot.
"I've been careful about my identity." I siad.
"I know. Ross is just being a giant ass baby. How's MJ?"
"I asked her how she feels when she sketches the numbers and alleyway."
"And?"
"She said, terror, pain and then nothing. Nothing like death." I said and he looked at me in shock.
"That's not good."
"I know."
"Kid."
"Avengers handle the big stuff. Spider-Man takes care of the little guy. I have access to the best technology outside of Wakanda and friends who do better research than I ever could. We can do this." I said and he sighed.
"Alright." he said and we fell into comfterable silence until we got to the tower.
Two days later, I had just webbed up some drug leaders when I got a call from MJ. I swung away, and perched on a water tower.
"Hey, MJ. How are you?"
"In shock. Could you come over?"
"Ya, sure. Let me just take a shower, and I'll head right over." I said.
"Okay, see you soon." She said and hung up. Odd. I thought before I headed back to the tower. I headed to my room. I didn't bother to dry my hair as I walked out of my room sending MJ a text to let her know I was on my way over.
"Where you going?" Aunt May asked.
"MJ's. She called me over. I'll be back later, though." I said and kissed her cheek then left. Half an hour later, I knocked on MJ's front door, and it opened to reveal MJ's grandma.
"Peter?"
"It's nice to see you again, Grandma Emily." I said with a polite smile.
"It's nice to see you again, too. You've grown into such a handsome in. Come in." She said stepping to the side. I slipped by and she shut the door before turning around and giving me a hug, then pulled back with a weird look in her eye causing me to tilt my head to the side only for her to grab my arm and pull me into the living room, where MJ was.
"Grandma?" MJ asked and I was pushed onto the couch, which caused me to blink in shock.
"What'd I do?"
"Nothing, yet." Grandma Emily said and I frowned at that, then looked at MJ who sighed.
"Grandma Emily says I'm from a long line of Witches. People who escaped from the Salem Witch trials." MJ said and I blinked before nodding.
"Cool." I said and Grandma Emily looked at me in shock.
"Your not freaking out."
"Why should I?" I asked and she snapped her fingers, making ever candle in the room light up.
"Because MJ is a Witch and so am I."
"Your parents home?"
"No." MJ said and I nodded before I kicked off my shoes. I then jumped from the couch and sat on the ceiling, shocking Grandma Emily. I then dropped back down to the couch.
"Huh." Grandma Emily said.
"So, is there a list of do's and don't I'm not allowed to ask about you two being Witches?" i asked.
"No. We're still Human, just Humans with magic power." Grandma Emily said and I nodded.
"So, that means your safe from Ross." I said.
"Peter."
"What? I haven't done anything besides research. Besides, I can't just go up to him, slam the research into his face and have him arrested. No matter how much I want to." I said and MJ sighed.
"So, is that all I needed to be here for, or is there more?" I asked.
"There's more." Grandman Emily said before she walked off. I looked over at MJ only for her to shrug since she didn't know either. A moment later, Grandma Emily returned holding a thick book.
"Every Witch that's come from the Jones bloodline, has had a protector. This protector is the only person who can physically touch their witches spell books, not be hurt while their Witch is casting a spell, etc."
"So, MJ can't hurt me at all when she's practicing?" I asked.
"Unclear. We have to see if you are worthy of being her protector." Grandma Emily said and I raised an eyebrow at that but didn't say anything before she placed the book down.
"Pick it up, Peter." She said. I shrugged but put my hands on it and pulled it up, where I heard faint whispers.
"Protector. Very strong." I heard repeated over and ver again until I dropped the book with a jerk.
"Peter?" MJ asked.
"What the hell were those whispers?" I asked.
"The Spirits of the past Jones. It's odd for someone that isn't a Jones to hear them."
"Ya, your telling this to someone who is Spider-Man." I muttered.
"I guess your my protector then." MJ said.
"Problem?"
"No."
"Good." I said before my phone rang. I pulled it out to see that it was Ned. I answered it.
"Turn the news on." He said.
"What, why?" I asked.
"Just. Just turn the news on." Ned said before he hung up. I made a face but reached over and grabbed the remote, before turning the t.v. on, quickly flipping it to the news channel, where the reporters where talking about a dead body, that was just dumped there.
"Twelve, five, forty-two. And an alleyway." MJ and I said at the same time before I turned the t.v. off.
"I'm going to head out. Start searching the area. See what I can find." I said.
"I'll train." MJ said softly and I got her to look at me.
"Don't go blaming yourself. We didn't know." I said.
"But-"
"But nothing, MJ. It's not our fault but there's. We'll figure this out and stop this as a team." I said and she let out a slow breath but nodded. I kissed her forehead, and then looked at Grandma Emily.
"It was nice to see you Grandma Emily."
"You too, Peter. Please do come by soon, so I can go over more about your position as her protector." She said and I nodded before I gave her a hug and left. I went to the sence as Spider-Man, but stayed back having KAREN scan everything.
"I've picked up a camera. I'm hacking it and sending it to the tower." She said.
"Good. I'll do some work here before heading back." I said before i silently swung away. Later that night, I was sitting on my beanbag, going over the security footage, when I heard the elevator open. I turned to see Tony, Pepper, and three other people.
"Ah, Peter!" Tony said and went to step off only for the scanners to stop him.
"Whoa! How'd you do that?!" The teen asked.
"Carefully." I said before I got off my beanbag and stepped onto the elvator.
"I'm Peter Parker." I said.
"Harley Keener. I've heard a lot about you."
"Same."
"I'm Abbie."
"Nice to meet you Abbie." I said then looked at Ms. Keener.
"Luciel."
"Nice to meet you, ma'am. I hope your trip here wasn't to tiring." I said as FRIDAY opened the doors to the main floor.
"It wasn't."
"Great. Oi! Tom, get up and help!" I said and he got off the couch.
"Where's MJ?" Pepper asked.
"At home. I'll inform you and Tony on everything later." I said and she nodded.
"We'll be talking about the floor below." Tony said.
"We're not reversing it. Tom, meet the Keener family. Harley, Abbie and Luciel." I said.
"Nice to meet you." He said before we showed them to their rooms.
"Yo, Harley. Come with me." I said and he stopped setting up his room.
"What's up?"
"Gotta make you a card."
"I already have mine." he said as he held up his pass.
"That's for the tower, and your room access. This one is for why Tony couldn't get off the elevator on the teen floor." I siad.
"Oh." He said and I nodded before I talked about it some before I handed him his pass.
"Wanna try it out?"
"Hell ya." He said and I laughed before we headed down to the teen floor, and he was able to walk through without a hitch.
"This place is sick."
"Yep. Why don't you go ahead and create your own game login and stuff. All of our controller's are color cordinated. Red and blue is mine."
"Why?"
"Because I'm Spider-Man." I said and he loked at me skeptically.
"Prove it." he said so I walked up the wall, until I was on the ceiling.
"Sweet." he said and I jumped down.
"Let's see. White and red is Tom's. Purple and blue is MJ's."
"Who's MJ?"
"My girlfriend. She's currently with Grandma Emily training her powers."
"Powers?"
"She's a Witch."
"Cool. Like Scarlett Witch?"
"No. Salem Witch Trials, Witch."
"Cool."
"Yep. The one with Star Wars is Ned's. So just grab an extra for now. We'll get yours customized soon."
"Who's Ned?"
"My best friend. He took today off to spend time with his family. You'll met him and MJ soon. While you set up your account. I'm going to talk to the old man and Pepper." I said.
"Later." Harley said and I walked out and FRIDAY took me to the other floor, and sat down next to Aunt May who was talking to Pepper.
"Talk, now." Tony said and I rolled my eyes but talked.
"So your telling me, that no adult has access to the teen floor, and you've made FRIDAY, a one way access in there?" Tony asked.
"Pepper and Aunt May have full access without the need of the identification cards." I said.
"Why?" Tony asked.
"Because, Pepper is your wife and is my head boss. Aunt May is my legal guardian." I said in a way that should have been obvious before I backflipped off the couch, without hitting May.
"What have I told you about doing that?" Aunt May asked.
"To not break anything or hit anyone besides Clint." I said and she held up a finger to argue before relization crossed her face.
"Crap, I did say that." She said and I smiled before I slipped away.
Harley and his family had been at the tower for a couple days, and it was time to get him to school. I yawned as I stumbled into the kitchen where Aunt May was.
"Good morning." She said as she tried to tame my hair only for me to move out of the way with my breakfast and a cup of coffee.
"I hate everyone and everything." Harley grumbled as he walked in.
"Grab a cup of coffee. It's a lifeline around here." I said before I kept eating.
"You are absolultly correct." Pepper said before she kissed the top of my head, then turned to Harley and did the same thing. A moment later, she was gone with her to go breakfast and her own cup, that didn't smell like coffee but tea. Odd. I thought but shrugged and went back to eating.
"What just happened?" Harley asked and I snorted.
"Pepper kissing the top of your head is the equavalate of receiving a gold star." I said and he nodded before we lapsed into silence until we headed down, to met up with Happy. I waved at him, before climbing into the back with Harley, where I gave him a run down about the school before Happy kicked us out when we got to the school. At the end of the day, Haley headed back to the tower alone because I was heading to MJ's to talk to Grandma Emily about my job as a protector. I could hear Grandma Emily in the kitchen when MJ pushed me to the couch. I tilted my head at her and she sent me a smile before she turned her attention to the candle in front of us. I patiently waited for about a minute before the candle was lit.
"You got it."
"I've still got a long way to go, but Grams said I'm making good progress."
"I'll say." I said before Grandma Emily walked in carrying a tray. I made a move to stand up but she shot me a look so I stayed back down.
"I apprieciate the offer of you wanting to help me, but I'm not helpless boy." She said and I nodded before I accepted the cup of tea.
"Peter. When you picked up the book. What did you hear the spirits say?"
"Protector. Very Strong. They were repeating it over and over again until I dropped the book." I said as I sat my cup of tea down.
"The spirits haven't repeated in centuries."
"Oh boy." I said dryly and MJ elbowed me.
"Okay, I'm sorry that was unnecessary." I said.
"No, it was fine." Grandma Emily said and then she sighed.
"The last time the Spirits repeated was the Salem Witch Trials. Amelia and her Protector Edward barely got away with their lives. They hid, then moved up to New York, got married and started a famliy. Been here ever since." Grandma Emily said and I frowned some.
"That's just the Jones bloodline. What about the other bloodline?" I asked.
"Jones aren't the only witch bloodline, we just happen to be the strongest. Your mother is from a minor witch bloodline, the Tulle. Not enough power to do spells." Grandma Emily said and we nodded at that.
"A Witches protector will always know what their Witch is saying during a spell, and they will be able to find the ingredients for the spells without a problem. My protector called it a feeling that will only go away once you have the ingredient in your hand."
"Well, that will be easy." I said before Grandma Emily held up an old book.
"This has advice from all the past Protectors. Use it wisely." She said and I carefully grabbed it, where I could feel all the spirits, making me let go for a moment.
"Peter?" MJ asked.
"I. I could feel them when I touched the book." I said and Grandma Emily looked at me in shock, then I looked at MJ with wide eyes.
"I mean. It could be possible." she said.
"What?" Grandma Emily asked and I sighed.
"I was one of the ones that was turned to Dust. I felt it before it happened, and I could feel it rip apart every atom of my body." I said and Grandma Emily gasped.
"You've seen the other side?!"
"It wasn't heaven or hell. Or what would be called purgatory here. I was just in the place surrounded by the color orange. No sense of time. No nothing, basically." I said as I remembered seeing people reform where I was. The looks of terror on their faces, the crying and screams. The swearing and yelling. The people, I tried to help reconnect with friends and family, before I bumped into Fury. I only snapped out when MJ sat a hand on mine, where I saw Grandma Emily press her lips together.
"You still saw the other side. It leaves a mark on your soul." She said and I managed not to snark out my comment about how I didn't want it.
"It'll be easier for you to learn to be a proper protector then, as well as helping the restless spirits pass over." She said as she placed the book in my lap. I said nothing but nodded.
"I truly wish I could tell you more, but it's the past Protectors that are in charge of telling you more." Grandma Emily said and I nodded before my phone buzzed. I pulled it out to see I had a text from KAREN calling me in for a meeting for Fury.
"Sorry, I've got to go. I've got a meeting." I said as I carefully put the book in my bag.
"I don't recall putting you down for a meeting." MJ said with a frown and I looked at her.
"You didn't. It has nothing to do with the company."
"Then who?"
"I'll tell you later. Promise but I really have to go." I said and she sighed.
"Alright." She said and I kissed her cheek before giving Grandma Emily a hug and left. I quickly got back to the tower, and walked to the teens lounge, where I headed to what will be dubbed the meeting room, where I saw Fury.
"Director Fury. Impressive to get passed my scanners." I said as I crossed my arms.
"It wasn't easy, I'll give you that. Took several EMP's."
"Hm." I said.
"I called you here to discuss what we left off when we were Dusted." He said and I sat down.
"You know why SHIELD was created?"
"Protection. Whether it be one man from himself or the world from an Alien invasion from an universe. Broad job description." I said.
"The belief that drives us all is the same. That everyone is worth saving. That truth lives in side you. I can count on one hand the amount of people I trust and I'm not afraid to cut off fingers." Fury said before he sat down a cube and five badges.
"You and your friends will become a team. A team that will train young teens like yourself to become Heroes, and you will be their leader." Fury said and I nodded.
"Okay, but why me? What if they won't follow me?"
"You have the qualifications to be the leader, and they will follow you because you carry yourself as a leader. You may not think you do, but you do."
"What's the cube?"
"It's a tool box. It's what was used to keep SHIELD alive and hidden before everything was changed from the Snap. Use it wisely as your team will be SHIELD agents as well as Heroes."
"Why you trusting me?"
"Because you know what's right. You've got a lot of heart, but you need to be the head for this team." Fury said and I nodded.
"Yes, sir." I said.
"In the next couple days, you'll recieve a package. In that package will contain where to find your training headquarters, information about SHIELD protocals, as well as a letter for the Avengers and Stark. You can use the tower on this floor as your relaxation place or whatever, but keep it seccured." Fury said.
"KAREN, three." I said and the walls opened up, to reveal semi automatic weapons that aimed at Fury.
"Is this seccured enough for you, sir?" I asked and he actually laughed.
"Stark know about this?"
"Hell no. He'd make my team and I get rid of it all. If necessary, we can blow this place up without ever damaging the floors below or above. We'll be upping the security so EMP's don't affect my scanners again, sir. We'll be intergrating the scanners to the windows as well. Shall I make you a card, sir?" I asked and he laughed once more.
"If you don't mind." He said and I walked out, and quickly made him a badge, before sliding it over to him.
"Don't lose it. Like Tony, I won't be making another." I said.
"That's fair. I'm also giving you two direct lines. One is mine. The other is to the SHIELD team that worked when SHIELD was destroyed. You ever need help, and can't get in contact with me or the Avengers can't help. Call this team. I'll personally notify this team of your teams exsistance so they will come for either of your persona." Fury said and I nodded.
"May I ask who is on that team, or shall I just wait?" I asked.
"Agent Phillip Coulson."
"Wait, I thought he was killed before the Battle of New York." I said.
"He was. I brought him back, but the others cannot know about him, until it's impossible to hide."
"Yes, sir." I said.
"Agent Melendia May, she's on par if not better than Natasha, but never call her the Cavalry, she hates that name."
"Yes sir."
"FitzSimmons." he said and I raised an eyebrow.
"They are a couple, recently married, but it's easier to keep calling them FitzSimmons. Biochem and Engenerring, as well as field Agents."
"Makes sense." I said.
"Agent Daisy Johnson, she goes by the codename Quake."
"She a Super?"
"InHuman."
"Cool."
"There's more, but those are the ones you should focus on."
"Yes, sir." I said.
"As of right now, you have a Level Ten access. Meaning, you report directly to me, unless I say otherwise. You can report to the Avengers, and tell Stark some, but not everything. Do I make myself clear?"
"Transparently." I said.
"Welcome to SHIELD, Agent Parker."
"May I ask you something, sir?"
"You may."
"I read in the old files that were leaked, before they were wiped from the Internet about my parents, Richard and Mary Parker. That they were Agents. Did you know them?" I asked and he looked down.
"I did. They used to work for SHIELD, reported directly under me for years before they asked to step down, to work for the CIA. They were two of my best agents, and I'm sorry they were killed in the hands of the CIA when they tried to run after getting you to the safety of your Aunt and Uncle. I never wanted them to step down, but I respected their decision to do so. I've been keeping you protected from their enemies until you were ready to step up. I'll still keep you protected hence the training grounds, and my Agents to call, but your ready."
"Thank you." I said as I let out a slow breath at that.
"I wished I could have saved them, but I would have put you at risk, and I couldn't do that."
"I know, sir. Thank you."
"You haven't made me regret the disiscion yet, Mr. Parker. Don't make me have to."
"I won't sir."
"Don't let Stark get a hold of the tool box."
"I won't sir." I said and he left.
"KAREN."
"Yes, Peter"
"Delete everything that happened, minus the part of Fury telling me that my team and I are Agents, and that I will be the leader of the team. And I mean delete it. No Ned or FRIDAY accessing it." I said.
"Of course. Shall I save that part of the conversation in the private servers?"
"Yes. Lock it under biometrics."
"Of course. Place your hand on the table, and I will handle everything else."
"Put everything back to normal, and run diagnostics on the scanners. It's time for some upgrades." I said as I put my hand on the table. I was sitting on the ceiling, upgrading the scanners when the elevator opened, to reveal Pepper.
"Peter, it's time for dinner. You've missed lunch." Pepper said as she walked off the elevator without a problem.
"I did?"
"Yes, you did. Is everything all right? You seem, troubled."
"I'll be alright."
"Peter."
"No, really. Just processing everything."
"Am i allowed to know?"
"I'll be reciving a package soon, and it probably won't have a return address. Can you make sure, Tony doesn't try anything with it?"
"Of course. I'll even personally see that it comes straight in here."
"Thank you."
"What's in it?"
"The only thing I can tell you is that, us Teens are now SHIELD Agents, and I'll be the leader of a new team to train other teens with Powers. Inside that box holds the rest of my information." I said and she pressed her lips together
"Alright. If that's all you can tell me without getting into trouble, I'll accept that answer. What'd you find out from MJ's grandmother?" she asked as I got off the ceiling, to put my tools away.
"Just that, due to being Dusted, it left a mark on my soul, where I can learn from the past Protectors easier, and that I'll be helping restless spirits pass over. Also, when I picked up the Jones book, the Spirits where repeating Protector, very strong over and over until I dropped the book. Found out they haven't done that in centruries."
"Huh."
"Also found out that when MJ casts spells, I'll always know what she's saying and will always know what ingredient she needs no matter what. And as MJ's protector I'll be the only person who can physically touch her spell books, or be hurt while she is casting a spell, etc." I said as we walked back over to the elevator.
"That's helpful."
"Indeed. Anyway, what's for dinner?"
"Homemade tacos. There's plenty." She said.
"Oh thank god." I said as my stomach growled, which caused her to let out a laugh before she put a hand to her mouth
"Pepper, are you okay?" I asked her and she swallowed heavily.
"I'll be fine." She said and I narrowed my eyes at her before I heard it.
"Holy shit!" I said and she slapped a hand over my mouth.
"Zip it." She said and I nodded where she removed her hand.
"How long?"
"Just found out today, after I was feeling off when we went to get Harley."
"Oh. Congratulations."
"Thank you but i haven't told, Tony yet." She said and I started to laugh before we got off the elevator.
"What are you laughing about, Pete?" Tony asked.
"Nothing, old man." I said and he gasped in horror which made Pepper laugh as we walked passed Tony to the dinning room, where I sneaked her a wink. I sat down next to Aunt May after washing my hands, and kissed her cheek.
"You okay, Pete?" Harley asked.
"Yep." I said before we started eating. After dinner, Harley, Abbie and I did the dishes, where Abbie talked about her day. After that, I motioned to the elevator to Harley and he nodded, before we headed down.
"KAREN, make a three way video call with Ned, Tom and MJ. Make it seccured, and tell them absolutely no speaker." I said as Harley plopped down onto his beanbag.
"Right away." KAREN said and I went to the meeting room, where I grabbed the badges, glad that I hid the tool box earlier before heading back.
"Harley, catch." I said and tossed his badge over.
"The hell? How'd you get your hands on a SHIELD badge?!" He asked
"I'll explain, everything in a moment." I said and the three way video call started.
"Sup, Pete?" Tom asked
"Hey, I don't have much time. Grams is wanting me to train more before I go to bed." MJ said.
"I've still got to finish the dishes." Ned said and I held up a SHIELD badge.
"How the hell?" Tom asked and I told him, pretty much everything with my talk with Fury minus the toolbox, my parents and that I've been in SHIELD protection since my parents retired and died.
"Huh." Tom said.
"Well, looks like we'll be getting a lot more work." Ned said
"You up for the challenge?" I asked
"You kidding me? Of course, I am." He said.
"MJ?" I asked.
"Cool. Tell me more later. I gotta go. Later, losers." She said and hung up.
"I gotta go to. Later, man." Ned said and hung up.
"Tom?"
"I've got homework to finish, but thanks. I'll get my badge later." He said and hung up.
"Harley?"
"What is our life, man?"
"Complicated. How's your project going?" I asked.
"Pretty good, actually. I should have it done by next week."
"Sweet. Got an AI?"
"Yep. NEO."
"Sweet. Hey, don't tell Tony, this yet."
"Tell Tony, what?" Harley asked with a blank look and i smiled before I nodded.
"Exactly. Alright. I'm going to head out for a few hours, if you want to go over the work for the scanners." I said.
"Aight. Have fun." he said and I headed down the hall, to change before I was out of the window. I was reading the book on the ceiling in the teen lounge when I heard the elevator open, then Pepper's heels.
"Hi, Pepper." I said.
"Hi, sweetie. I have your package. It's heavy." She said and I carefully shut my book, before unsticking from the roof, where I landed on the beanbag below. I left my book there, and walked over to her, taking the package.
"Thank you, Pepper. How are you feeling?"
"Morning sickness sucks, a lot of ass."
"I can imagine it does." I said.
"You haven't done anything to the bathroom have you?"
"No. Still in the same spot." I said and she bolted to the bathroom, where I cringed at the sound of her getting sick.
"Why's Pepper puking in the bathroom?" Harley asked as he walked in from the elevator.
"I want to cut off Tony's dick." Pepper groaned out loud enough for Harley to hear.
"Ew. Oh. OH! HOLY SHIT!" Harley said when I saw it click in his head.
"Pepper!"
"Yes, I'm pregnant. No, Tony doesn't know yet, but I'm telling him soon."
"I've got some ideas." Harley and I said at the same time, causing us to just point at each other, then start laughing.
"Hit me." Pepper said.
"Hand him the book, 'What to expect when Expecting'." I said.
"Buy a t-shirt that says Pregnant." Harley said.
"Block one of the doors, and put a sign up that says renovation for baby nursery."
"Coffee mug."
"hand him a bag with a baby onsie."
"Give him a funny card." Harley said
"Hand him a pregnancy test." I said and Pepper just looked at us, from her spot over the toliet.
"Peter?"
"Hey, I've been thinking of these since I heard the heartbeat."
"These are just from the top of my head." Harley said and Pepper let out a slight laugh.
"Thanks you two."
"Anytime." We said.
"Peter, sweetie. Don't forget to open your package." Pepper said.
"Right." I said and pulled it open. I pulled out the two letters, and sat them aside, before pulling out a set of keys, five cards, five SHIELD binders, and a paper with an address.
"KAREN, can you locate this address and send it to my team." I said as I held it up to her camera.
"Scaning and sending it now."
"Thanks, KAREN." I said and sat the paper down.
"How you feeling now, Pepper?"
"No longer feeling the urge to cut Tony's dick off."
"Not an image I wanted in my head. Harley grab your badge and a binder. Start studying."
"Ugh!"
"Hey, we need the codes whenever we have to do joint missions, are the mission will end in flames or worse. Pepper, Aunt May is making ginger tea." I said.
"Oh that souunds lovely."
"Don't worry about the bathrom, I'll clean it. You just head on up and settle your stomach." I said and she nodded before leaving. I quickly cleaned the bathroom, than grabbed my own binder, and started reading.
"Fuck this. My brain is starting to melt. I'm going to work on my suit." Harley said about an hour later.
"Still have to learn all of them."
"I'll learn them later!" Harley said and I snorted but didn't comment as I went back to reading. Two hours later, I headed up for dinner and handed Tony his letter.
"What's this?"
"Read it and find out." I said before I shoved my food into my mouth, causing him to sigh but open it up. I watched as he read over the letter before I used an empty plate to cover Abbie's face, as Tony spat out his drink.
"Peter, what in the actuall ass?! Tell me you haven't already agreed to this?!"
"We agreed to it, almost a week ago, old man. This was just him letting you know ." Harley said as I sat the plate down, still eating.
"Besides. Who do you think they'll trust more. Teens their age? Adults? Or people who want to lock them up?" I asked and Tony sighed before he started to mutter about us being crazy and stupid teenagers, and I rolled my eyes at Harley causing him to snort.
"I'm not housing them here."
"You won't have to, Stark." I heard and I just turned some to see Fury.
"Want a plate, Director?" I asked.
"Why not." He said and I got up, quickly made him a plate and got him some water, handing it to him and sat down.
"Fury. Nice of you to barage into my own home." Tony said with a glare.
"I told you, i was coming in my letter."
"Peter, sweetie. Who is this, man with the eyepatch?" Aunt May asked.
"My boss above Pepper." I said.
"Oh. My nephew dies while your in charge, and I'll personally claw out your eye with a spoon."
"Noted." Director Fury said after a few moments, and I had to bite back my laugh, so I forced myself to keep eating.
"You look like a pirate." Abbie said.
"Abbie." Luciel hissed.
"I get that a lot, but trust me. I'm not a priate."
"Okay." Abbie said with a shrug before she got up.
"I'm done eating. I'll be in my room, if you need me." She said and walked away.
"The new recruits will be living in safe houses close to the tower, school and their training grounds. They will only need to be in the tower, for the teen lounge, meeting room. They'll find 'jobs' outside of being Heroes, Agents and students." Fury said.
"Mr. Parker will be the leader."
"Smart choice" Pepper said as she eyed my plate. I said nothing and slide it closer, allowing her to steal the tofu I wasn't eating.
"Hey!" Harley said.
"No offense Harley, but Peter's calmer. Plus he's been doing this longer than you have." Pepper said.
"Fair enough." He said and then went back to eating.
"That's not the only reason why, I've chosen Mr. Parker to be the leader. We found each other, when we were Dusted. I told him about the 96 variable lie detector you two built for SHIELD." Fury said.
"I was wondering about that, but the Kid clammed up."
"Wasn't my secret to give out." I said with a shrug as I carefully eyed Pepper's stomach, before I shoved some rice into my mouth, where I listened to Fury talk about everything before he was done.
"I'll be in touch, Mr. Parker. Mr. Keener." Fury said and I nodded before he left. A week later found Harley, Ned, Tom, MJ and I all training at our new faculity, when an alarm sounded. We all stopped, shared a nod and ran towards the debriefing room. I accepted the incoming call, to see Fury.
"Director Fury."
"We have an 0-8-4, currently heading to the abondand warehouses in the harbor."
"Suits or agents?" I asked.
"Agents but keep your suits at the ready."
"We'll get right on it." MJ said and the call ended. I didn't even have to fully turn around, when they all nodded and we split up to grab our items. Not even ten minutes later, Tom was driving a SHIELD truck towards the harbor.
"Ned, what you got for us?" I asked.
"I've cross refrence our scanners with the Avengers, that got upgraded because of the Guiardians-"
"Which I still owe Peter Quill a good punch." I said.
"And it's saying it's Asguardian."
"Welp. Let's prepare ourselves for gamma radiation. Harley be prepared to call Bruce, Doctor Jane Foster, Doctor Erik Selvig and their team." I said and I saw him nod.
"MJ."
"I'm going though all Norse Mythology, of who or what it could be." She said.
"Harley?"
"Going through all of the old SHIELD files and on standby to call our coworkers."
"Ned anything new?"
"I'm picking up astronomical anomalies. Calculating them now." he said but my spidey-sense started to go off.
"Hit the breaks!" I said glad we weren't on the man road, as Tom slammed on the breaks just as a colorful light hit the ground.
"That's the Bifrost." I said.
"I thought that was destryoed on Asguard and Thor's Axe was the only way to access it." Harley said.
"It was. New Asguard must have it now." I said before I got out of the car, only to see a woman. I thought back to all of Thor's friends until one name stuck out as the only female in the group.
"Lady Sif, I pressume." I said and she looked at me.
"That is I. Who are you?" She asked and I dug out my badge.
"Agent Peter Parker. I'm also friends with Thor." I said.
"You are of SHIELD?"
"Yes."
"Your world is in danger."
"When is it not?" I asked her and that stopped her for a moment.
"That is a fair answer. I'm here to bring Lorelei back to New Aguard."
"Harley?"
"Hold on. Ha! Lorelei, old SHIELD file, sorceress who can use her voice to ensnare the minds of men. Agent Coulson's team handled her with some set backs due to her compelling two of his agents." He said.
"How'd she escape?" I asked Lady Sif.
"When Hemindal was evacuating the citizens of the first Asguard, she broke out of her cell and took off her collor that blocked her voice." Lady Sif as she held up the collar.
"I see. Take point, we still have to investigate the warehouses." I said as I opened the door to the front seat.
"You are rather young to be an Agent of SHIELD."
"We are, but we are a team that was put together to not only be Agents of SHIELD but to be Heroes and to train other teens with powers. To make them worthy heroes and Agents." I said and she seemed satifsfied with my answer because she got into the front seat, and I jumped into the back.
"Lady Sif, meet my team. Eugene Thompson."
"Pleasure to met you, Son of Thomp." Lady Sif said it took all I had to not laugh at that.
"Harley Keener, Ned Leeds, and Michelle Jones." I said and Lady Sif looked at MJ.
"You hold great power. What are you?"
"I'm a human but I'm a Witch. I come from a powerful Witch Bloodline." MJ said.
"I can tell you are also a powerful warrior as well." Lady Sif said and I sent MJ a wink which caused her to scoff before pulling out her Grimoire, placing half of it on my knee so it wouldn't touch Harley.
"Since we're dealing with sorceress who can use her voice to ensnare the minds of men, I'll see if I can try to counter it." MJ said.
"Lorelei possesses a unique ability that Sif described as Sorcery: a super persuasive voice that allows her to enthrall men. This ability is usually effective through voice, but if Lorelei's victim proves to have a higher will capable of resisting her power, she is able to strengthen the enthrallment through touch." Harley said reading the file.
"Have anything to add, Lady Sif?" I asked.
"Lorelei possesses all of the various superhuman attributes common among us, Asgardians. Persuasion is her power. Lorelei is a very capable combatant, having received training in unarmed combat and swordsmanship. Lorelei is highly skilled in the art of swordsmanship. She's bested me in combat once when I was. In a weakened state." Lady Sif said but the look on her face was of one losing a lover so we didn't make a comment on it.
"Ned?"
"I can confirm the 0-8-4 is Lorelei. She also appeares to be on the move."
"Tom." I said.
"On it." He said and started to drive faster.
"Okay, I got a spell but it's not to strengthen the mind, but it should work to weaken her long enough for you to place the collar on her." MJ said.
"What is it?" I asked.
"I control her blood."
"Wouldn't you need her blood to control it?" Ned asked.
"If I couldn't see her, than yes. As long as I can see her, I can do it." She said.
"Alright. Everyone else, try plugging your ears and do not for the love of Thor, let her touch you. Tom and Harley, I want you two to be ready to fly. Ned."
"Stay alert and ready to fight or be carried off."
"Yes." I said before I turned around and started digging around in the back, before I grabbed the cuffs. I then turned back around holding them.
"What are those?" Lady Sif asked.
"Special hand cuffs. They are made of vibranium and Uru. Hard to do, but Thor asked Eitri the Dwarf King if it could be done, and apperently it can." I said and Lady Sif looked shocked but took them from me with a nod, while I put a hand to my com.
"Sir, the 0-8-4 has been confirmed to be Lorelei. We are with Lady Sif on our way to apprehend Lorelei." I said.
"Great work, Agent Parker. I want this done fast and easy. No, letting her control your hormonal asses."
"Agent Jones has something, sir." I said before lowering my hand.
"Lady Sif, how is the Bifrost working after Asguard was destroyed?" Harley asked.
"We have a New Asguard, where we set to work on creating the Bifrost. Without the Bifrost, travel between the Nine Realms would be much more difficult, leaving Midguard without our help." Lady Sif said and I nodded. After a few moments, Tom stopped the car, and we all got out to see Lorelei talking to some Maggia members.
"Oh, Sweet Shade of Eranikus. Ned, stay in the car. Tom, Harley cover with ICER fire." I said.
"On it!" They both said and Tom took off his jacket, before his wing pack activated, while Harley's suit formed around him from his watch.
"MJ, get to work on that spell." I said and she nodded before she held up her hands.
"Invoco in auxilium eaque meorum. Ego stabulare, quaerere Venus auguratricis: sanguis eius per tempus proli. Ego stabulare, quaerere Venus auguratricis: sanguis eius per tempus proli. Factum est autem nexum ego control Venus." MJ said and she kept repeating that.
"What is she saying?" Lady Sif asked me.
"I call upon my ancestors to aid me in this spell. I seek to stall Lorelei the Sorceress, by temporarily controlling her blood. I seek to stall Lorelei the Sorceress, by temporarily controlling her blood. Now that the connection is made, I control Lorelei." I said only loud enough for her to hear and she nodded before Lorelei started to sway, while Tom and Harely took out the Maggia.
"Lorelei, your coming with us. Put your hands in the air and get on the ground." I said and she turned.
"I do not bend down to men. Men bend for me."
"Good thing, I'm not man. genua." MJ said causing Lorelei to gasp before she was forced to her knees.
"What have you done to me?" Lorelei asked.
"I'm controling your body. The more you fight it, the more painful it'll be. Lady Sif, if you would." MJ said as he hands started to shake from the power she was forcing herself to use. Once Lorelei's collar was back on, with Lady Sif placing the cuffs, MJ stopped the spell with a gasp, then put a hand to her nose. I silently handed her a tissue, and stayed by her side as she started to lean against me.
"Asguardians aren't easy to control, and I doubt I'll ever get a chance to do so again, because of how draining it is." She said.
"You did wonderfully." Lady Sif said and I nodded before I put a hand to my com.
"Sir, Lorelei is contained with her collar on. Agent Keener and Agent Thompson, even took out some Maggia she was trying to enthrall." I said.
"Perfect work, Agent. Report back to your headquarters for debreifing. Tell Lady Sif, she can leave with Lorelei after."
"Yes, sir." I said.
"I heard. Shall we?" She asked and I nodded.
"I'm going to fly back to the headquarters." Harley said as he hovered above the ground.
"Yo, let me catch a lift." I said.
"Then hurry up, man." he asid and I rolled my eyes at him.
"See you there." Tom said.
"Don't slam into any buildings dork." MJ said.
"You love my dorkness." I said before I pulled off my jacket and pants.
"Sadly."
"What do you mean sadly?" I asked her and she laughed before taking my clothes from me.
"Get going loser."
"I'm your loser." I siad before I pulled on my mask, shot out a web, and took off with Harley. We got back to our training headquarters, and Harley recalled his armor, as Tom pulled up. Lady Sif pulled Lorelie into the briefing room, where we upgraded both of their files.
"You've got a good team here, Director Fury. Even if they are young to be warriors." Lady Sif said.
"I know. Good work you five. Head on home. You especially Parker. I wish to keep my eye safe from your Aunt." Fury said and I laughed
"Yes, sir." I said before the call was ended. We all headed outside where Lady Sif smiled at us.
"It was an honor to work alongside you five. I wish to meet again as friends rather than a Warrior." Lady Sif said.
"It was our pleasure Lady Sif." MJ said.
"And you, you are stronger than you think. You controlled an Asguardian, long enough for her to be detained. Not even Loki is capable of that. You should be proud." Lady Sif said and MJ just smiled.
"Fair well." Lady Sif said before the Bifrost opened up, sending both Asguardians back to Asguard.
"You know. Us Midguards, should really start selling Lady Sif merch." I said.
"I'd buy the hell of that. Lady Sif, is a Goddess. Literally!" MJ said making us all laugh, before we all headed home. A week later, I was sitting on the couch next to Aunt May, as we waited for Tony ti open his gift from Pepper, annoucing her pregnancy. I shared a look with Harley before Tony opened the box.
"What?" He asked and I snorted.
"What'd you get?" Aunt May asked and Tony just stared inside of the box for several moments before he started crying.
"Ha, pay up." I said.
"I hate you." Harley said before slapping ten bucks into my hand as Tony hugged Pepper, with the biggest smile on his face.
"So, Tony. What is it?" I asked.
"Screw you, you two already knew." Tony said making Harley and I both laugh, since it was true.
"I'm going to be a dad!" Tony said and Rhondey let out a cheer before the adults started to celebrate, while Harley and I watched on. A couple weeks later, MJ was in a meeting with Pepper, while Tom, Ned, Harley and I were on our floor, playing Mario Cart, with me winning when Fury's hologram appeared next to the t.v.
"Where's Agent Jones?"
"In a meeting with Pepper, won't be back until dinner." I said.
"Ha! Suck my ass, Clint!" Tom said and I rolled my eyes, before winninig the whole race.
"KAREN, send Clint a message saying we're going to have to pause the games as we've got work to do." I said.
"Yes, Peter."
"Sorry, Director. What's our mission?" I asked as Harley turned the game system off.
"Agent Coulson's team has encountered two enhanced teens. They are in route to your training quarters with them. They should be there within the hour."
"We'll meet them there." I said and Fury ended the call.
"Let's go." I said and pulled off my shirt.
"Race you there, web head!" Harley said.
"Your on!" I said as I finished pulling off my clothes, pulled on my mask, and dove out the opened window, leaving Tom and Ned shaking their heads. We all got to our headquarters, pushing one another, before Ned headed over to the lab.
"Tom, Harley. Let's get some training in." I said and they nodded. I ducked a punch from Tom, before I grabbed Harley's arm, and flipped him when I sensed MJ coming in. I bent and soon felt her feet running up my back, before she kicked Tom to the ground.
"Nice of you to join us, babe." I said.
"Can't let you three dorks have all the fun." She said before it turned into an all out fight against one another.
"Sorry to interupt your fun, but the other team is here." Ned said stopped our fight, where I held Tom's fist in my hand, MJ had Harley in an arm bar on the ground.
"Be there in a moment." I said and we all let each other go, grabbed a towel and water, before heading to the roof, as a quinjet was landing. We all waited before it opened revealing the team.
"Agents. We welcome you to Prodigy Headquarters. Excuse our appearence as we were training or working in the lab. Please follow us, as we will be ordering lunch soon. PLease, give TAKESHI your pizza order, as well as food alergies. If your wondering who TAKESHI is, TAKESHI, is the buildings AI. Introductions and badges will be given out momentarily." I said and we all turned around heading to the door, when I put my arm around MJ's waist, where she leaned in some, as she typed on her phone.
"How was the meeting?"
"It went well. Should be expecting to release the new line of STARKPhones within the week."
"That's great. Any luck with Dr. Pym?"
"None so far, but we'll work on a new angel."
"Ya, really wish he would pull his head out of his ass, because of Tony's dad." I said.
"He got straight to the point. I like that." I heard one of Agent Coulson's agents say and I smirked.
"The team is rather young."
"Heard they managed to get Lorelie within the hour of finding out."
"I heard one of them is Spider-Man."
"Damn he's taken."
"Oh my god, shut the hell up." I heard and I snorted.
"What?"
"Just what they are talking about." I said before I swiped my card, then a keypad screen appeared. I quickly typed in the guest passward, and the number of people before the door opened. Once inside we all sat around the table in the other meeting room.
"Alright, I'll start. I'm Agent Peter Parker, the leader of this team. I'm also Spider-Man." I said.
"Agent Michelle Jones. You don't have clearance to call me MJ, like my friends. I'm a Witch but with Natasha Romonoff's training."
"Agent Eugene 'Tom' Thompson. Human, but training with Sam Wilson, the Falcon."
"Agent Harley Keener. Human, and I'm Iron Lad."
"Agent Ned Leeds. Human, and I'm the guy in the chair." My side said.
"You said Witch. Are you talking like Scarlet Witch?" The older Agent asked.
"No. Salem Witch Trials."
"Meaning don't piss her off, noted. Agent Daisy Johnson, codename Quake."
"Agent Melinda May."
"Agent Philip Coulson."
"Peter, explain why a dead man is talking?" Tom said as he looked at me.
"Most of it is classified, but what I can say is that he was dead, but Fury had him brought back." I said.
"Pete." Tom said and I just raised an eyebrow at him.
"Classified until Fury says otherwise, meaning the big leagues, Tony and Pepper cannot know he's alive. Am I clear?" I asked.
"Crystal." Tom, Harley and Ned said, instantly dropping subject.
"You may continue." I said.
"Agent Leo Fitz. Engineering."
"Mind if Tom, Harley, Ned and I pick your brain on some stuff later?" i asked.
"I don't mind."
"Jemma Fitz. Biochem."
"Congratulations on your marriage." I said with a smile.
"Thank you." Jemma said.
"Anyway, pizza is here. Tom grab plates. Harley drinks. Ned show everyone to the restrooms so they can clean up. MJ help me with the pizzas please." I said and we all split up to do our jobs. Once back, I pointed to the next agant.
"Agent Antoine Triplett, call me Trip." He said and I looked at him.
"You a desendent of a Howling Commando?" I asked.
"My grandfather."
"Cool. So is our principle. I only asked because he has a picture of the Howling Commandos and Agent Peggy Carter, in his office, and you look like him." I said before turning my attention to the two teens that were currently stuffing their faces.
"Ava Ayala, White Tiger. My powers come from this amulet." She said as she held it up. I nodded then turned my attention to the other female.
"Wendy Wilson. I can control plants." she said and I nodded.
"Well, welcome to my Team Ava and Wendy. Eat all you want, ordered a lot for high metabalisms. We'll go over what you two need to know later." I said and they both nodded before grabbing their next slice each.
