Chapter 1
‘What is my life at this point' Peter thinks.
He’s currently crouched on top of a truck, in a random airport in Germany holding CAPTAIN AMERICA’S SHIELD!!
“Nice job, kid.” Mr Stark praised.
“Thanks, well I could have stuck the landing a little better, it’s just, new suit” Peter rambled while doing wild hand gestures.
Quickly realizing, that could come across as disrespectful, he added. “Wa- it's nothing Mr Stark. It- it's perfect thank you.” He was raised to be polite after all.
“Yeah, we don't really need to start a conversion.” Mr Stark replied, seeming irked by Peter's enthusiasm.
“Okay. Cap. Captain.” Unsure of what to do, he saluted him.
His tone, slightly less chirpy than before.
“Big fan. I’m Spider-Man”
“Yeah, we’ll talk about it later.” Mr Stark says, growing more annoyed.
Peter exhales, and awkwardly waves while saying “hey, everyone”
His tone, slightly more deflated than before.
“Good job.” Mr Stark says.
“You’ve been busy,” Cap says, his hand still bound by Peter’s webs.
“And you’ve been a complete idiot.” Tony snaps, “Dragging in Clint, ‘rescuing’ Wanda from a place she doesn’t even wanna leave, a safe place.”
He raises his voice “I’m trying to keep.” he pauses and sighs, “I’m trying to keep you from tearing the Avengers apart.”
Peter stays silent through the exchange, but can clearly tell there is far more going on than what he has been told.
“You did that when you signed,” Cap says in that tone, Peter knows that tone as he hears it near-daily from the PSA's.
“All right we’re done.” Mr Stark pauses, then begins to shout. “You’re gonna turn Barnes over, and you’re gonna come with us, NOW, because it's US or a squad of J-SOC guys, with no compunction about being impolite."
‘Am I supposed to know what compunction means… I'll just google it later’ Peter thinks.
Mr. Stark seems upset, “come on.” he says under his breath, Peter's enhanced hearing easily picks it up.
Suddenly Cap lifts up his arms and an arrow flies through the webs, breaking them.
‘OMG, is hawkeye here too?! That's so cool!!!’ Peter, distracted by his fanboying, doesn't notice a strange sound behind him.
Till he feels the strange but familiar ‘tingle’
He notices everyone turn in his direction looking tense and two random guys run out from inside one of the buildings
He whips his head around.
And that's when he sees it.
Whatever it is.
