Avengers Tower, after Loki's arrival
Plenty of things had happened during two years. Harley had been sent back home when Tony had found the missing video clips of the action between Peter and him. Natasha had tracked them down and showed them to the team. Tony finally realized his mistake and sent out search parties for Peter to find nothing. The team didn't know Peter very well except for a few people but they did know Harley very well since they hung out together so much. Then Boom! The city officially had no Spider-Man to protect them. Not even the new golden one. It was pretty much chaos and the crime rates grew like weeds in a garden. It had gone up 30% and was still continuously increasing. Not to mention the HYDRA assassin that had suddenly appeared and saved Tony's life when he was supposed to be killing him. There was an explosion and the man just jumped right in front of him, shielding Tony with his own body. No one knew what that meant but the Avengers were always on the lookout for HYDRA.
And then Loki came back.
He appeared in the living room and yelled at all the Avengers for neglecting Peter and Stark for kicking him out. Then Loki had turned and left, no doubt trying to find Peter.
Tony was really sad since Peter never showed up on the radar since his disappearance. He kept hoping that he would return to the Tower someday, but why would he? Tony had kicked him out himself. Knowing Peter, he probably would never go back to that place. Pepper was just disappointed in her husband. After all, Tony had only believed Harley's lies since he couldn't imagine him being a liar. But he had been, and had probably ruined everything between Tony and Peter.

Loki
Stupid mortals. Stark, that down creature. He actually kicked Peter out two years ago. Loki huffed and walked quickly through the streets of New York, looking for Peter at their favorite restaurants and cafés and at Delmar's. He wasn't there. Loki looked all around, even at his school where he saw his best friends. They were looking for Peter as well and they met up to search for him.
MJ, the girl, took the threesome around the city to the last place that she had seen Peter. He had been running as fast as he could across the street from her and she had called out to the 'loser' but he just kept going, even though MJ was sure that he had heard her, super hearing and all.
But that was two years ago.

New York, Manhattan.
Peter walked through the streets of busy Manhattan. He was about to turn 18 and he was quite happy about it. Peter was strolling, looking at the sights when he saw Ned, MJ and-, and Loki! He was happy to see that they were still alive but he didn't want them to see him yet. He was not ready. He had a big scar on his face, a slash wound running from his forehead down to his left cheek. It was not the best sight to look at and Peter had no emotional preparation for meeting his friends and blood brother. Peter had turned and walked away. He went to a clothing department store and bought some black clothes. He also got some fabric from a tailor shop. Unanimously, Peter's brain had somehow set his favorite and only color choice to be black. He got some supplies and went to another diner where they were hiring and got a job. He stayed for about two weeks.
The day of his birthday, nobody celebrated it with Peter. He had no cake or presents but he wasn't sad about it. At least he wasn't in HYDRA anymore. Peter decided to visit his family's graves since they will accompany him during this harsh time. He set off towards his family.
<•>
The graveyard was gloomy and foggy. Peter couldn't see two feet in front of him so he had to rely entirely on his hearing to guide him through the maze of gravestones towards the little forest out back where the Parker graves were. Unknown to him, there was a certain billionaire in the cemetery as well. He was in the VIP section where his family members were buried.
Peter walked along the damp ground. It seemed to reflect his feelings. He was sad and depressed. His family was all gone and he had no friends. It was a bit too much for a young man to handle. He arrived at the dense forest and walked through. It had been two years since anyone had visited here. Two years. Peter looked at the gravestones engraved with his family's names. He sighed and again, just like he did two years ago, he told his family everything; from the HYDRA kidnapping to his escape and traveling across America. He told them all his feelings and emotions, all the pain he had experienced. Peter talked to them about his home in the forest and seeing MJ, Med and Loki again. He explained his determination for revenge. He stood there for a while and then walked away through the forest again.

Cemetery, with Stark
Tony Stark was a busy man. He had skipped his parents' anniversary of death for all the work and searching for Peter. He needed to apologize to him. He missed Memorial Day but now, he had some time on his hands for once. He had driven a car to the cemetery and went to his parents' grave in the VIP section. He sat there for a while, telling them everything that had happened during these two years. Soon he got up and walked towards the exit.
Wait.
There was a shape moving through the shadows towards the exit as well. Tony followed it and the figure stopped as if sending his presence, which it had.

Cemetery, with Peter
Peter could feel someone coming towards him. He turned to see the outline of Stark in the misty gloom. Peter thought of killing him right there and then but something stopped him. Perhaps it was his past with him, the happy times, that made him hesitate. No, he shouldn't have mercy with that man. Shadow was trained to not have mercy in HYDRA. He shouldn't let his prey go. Yet something stopped Peter once more. He realized that Stark was here to see his family.
Oh his luck was great. Just great.
Peter knew that Stark must've missed his parents a lot just like Peter. That was probably why Peter didn't kill him on the spot. Stark seemed to be looking right at him which he was. Peter stares back. Stark took a step forward.
"Back off." Peter's voice had grown deeper and now it was basically unrecognizable. He slid his knife from his belt and held it in his hand just him case.
"Who are you?" Stark questioned.
"You do not need to know that." Peter replied.
He could hear Stark muttering to his glasses for FRIDAY to send a suit. Peter engulfed himself in the Force so FRIDAY couldn't scan him. He heard a distant whirring. A suit was coming to Stark's aid.
The suit flew in from behind him, hoping to grab him and carry him away. Peter used the Force and crushed it, quite literally, into a lump of metal. It was the old suit that Peter had seen Stark and Keener work on. He had probably thought that Peter was an easy gangster or something and sent a bad suit against him. He looked at Stark again and smirked.
"Don't try to cross paths with me again, Stark. Next time, I will not treat you with mercy like I did this time." Peter thought for a second, "as for who I am, I am the HYDRA that saved your life in the explosion." Peter turned and left.
He didn't know why he told Stark that. Maybe just so he could shove it in him face. After all, he had tried to kill Peter, who had saved his life plenty of times.

Peter returned it the diner and collected his wages. He then went around the city and got the materials he needed for making his new Spider-Man suit. No, he won't be called Spider-Man again. He would be the Shadow Spider. He picked up some lenses, black spandex and a set of sewing materials. Peter walked back to the wilderness once again, not planning on coming out for a long time.
