Brooklyn 1941
- Lapin? Will you come back to us? _ Peter asked quietly in Jen's lap while James sat next to them, leaned on Jen's shoulder.
- Of course I'll come back to you guys, you're my family. _ Jen hugged Peter tightly.
- To me, Păianjen... _ James said.
- ... And Steve. _ Peter finished.
- Yup, to Arana, Lobo and Stevie. _ Jen laughed.
- You two are the only two I allowed to call me by that. _ James groaned loudly which cause Jen and Peter laughed loudly too.
- Promise on our rings? _ Peter asked. Jen and James nodded gently.
- Of course. Promise on our rings. _ Then they pulled out their ring. Jen wore it on his left hand middle finger, it had a rabbit on it. James wore it on his right hand middle finger with a wolf on it. And Peter, the youngest, wore it around his neck like necklace, waiting to put on either his left or right hand with a picture of a spider on it. Jen had bought it as a special gift with his very first money from military. It a special made so there were no more like them.
- I'll be back and we can afford better things for you Arana. _ Jen said sincerely.
- Okay. _ Peter smiled.
Jen never back. He gone missing and had called dead. Peter, James and Steve cried that day.

Brooklyn 1943
- I don't want you to go! Lapin had gone! I don't want to lost you too Loup. I don't want to lost my other brother. _ Peter cried loudly.
- Păianjen, buddy, hey look at me. _ James knelt in front of you, told him softly. - I will find Iepuras back, me and Stevie will go out there and find Iepuras. He just gone missing, I believe he still alive. And four of us will be together again. I promise. _ James said softly, calming his brother down.
- Promise? _ Peter sobbed quietly.
- Promise on our rings. And when we're back, four of us will buy you as much sweet as we can afford. How does that sound? _ James playfully added. Then he gently kissed Peter's forehead. Used his right arm to pulled out his ring. Put them together.
- Sound good Loup. _ Peter giggled.

You're in 2016

He shivers from his nightmare. About his older brothers, about Steve, about war, about death, about how him got into ice. Clenching the ring tightly on his arms. He really misses them. He wishes he could trade his dog tags with them too.
=====
- UNDEROOS! _ Mr. Stark yells loudly.
Peter flips over the group of heroes grabbing the man in blue’s shield before landing on a truck. Other than Mr. Stark he doesn’t know who any of these people really are because he hasn’t yet to really research the Avengers yet.
- Nice job, kid. _ Mr. Stark turns away from the others to look at him.
- Thanks. Well, I could've stuck the landing a little better. It's just the new suit… Well, it's nothing, Mr. Stark. It's-it's perfect. Thank you. _ Peter stutters through his sentence and turns towards the group who were staring at the interaction going on between the two.
- Yeah, we don't really need to start a conversa- _ Mr. Stark’s sentence gets cut off at the sound of a vibranium shield being dropped looking up to see Peter’s masked face stuck in the direction of Captain America.
- St-Stevie? _ There is a clear tone of recognition, shock and slight fear in the kid’s voice as his hand starts to reach the hem of his mask slowly pulling it off.
- Kid what the hell are you doing this is NOT the time for hero worshippi- _ Mr. Stark is interrupted yet again but this time by the star spangled man himself.
- Peter? _ The younger man jumps down from the truck he’s on and starts to walk towards Steve but quickly breaks into a sprint, all the surrounding heroes reaching for their weapons as Peter crashes himself into Steve’s arms and burying his head into the super soldier’s chest. To the surprise of the rest of the group Steve wraps his arms around the younger boy as he starts to sob in the man’s hold.
- You THREE! ALL of you LEFT me! YOU LEFT ME behind and ALONE! _ Peter cries loudly in Steve's chest. The super soldier holds his hand on Peter's shoulder while kneels in front him, smiles weakly.
- We're sorry. I'm sorry for left you like that, Pete. _ Steve lets Peter cries on his shoulder while softly calms him.
- Y-You don't know how hurt it makes when I-I read about you three i-in the museum... _ Peter sobs.
- I'm sorry kid. _ Steve pats his back gently. His finger brushes away his tears.
- Can anybody tell me what the actual fuck is happening here please?! _ Mr. Stark yells, cuts through their conversation. Peter groans quietly, let none hears.
- I'll answer that question of yours later, Tony. First I have to do something. _ Steve says then tells someone with his comm while stands up and let Peter stay by his side. Tony looks a bit angry though but do nothing.
"Sam? Can you two come down here? - Yes it's okay. J-Just come down here please. Tell him too" _ Steve tell someone named Sam.
Tony really looked angry and confused as fuck right now. He's going to open his mouth again then being cut by Rhodey. But he still manages to add "Hell yeah you better explain because it's got a shitty ton on it."
Then walking towards them are three people from two directions.
- Steve what happen? _ A familiar voice rings in the air.
- Yeah what happen Stevie? _ N-No way, this voice is also familiar to him too.
Peter look up to each direction, meet the two familiar's voice eyes. Three pair of eyes all widen. The super soldiers both freeze for a second then both rushing towards Peter. Steve quickly backs up while Peter again, crying. Tony immediately pulls up his gear, ready to rescue his team mate. But this is not what him has expected.
- PĂIANJEN! _ James shouts.
- ARANA! _ Jen echoes.
- LAPIN! LOUP! _ Peter crashes himself and again, burying his face into Jen's chest like he did with Steve while James hugs him from behind. The two super soldiers, to everyone surprises, they cry too.
- YOU TWO LEFT ME! LEFT ME AT HOME ALL ALONE! YOU PROMISE ME YOU WILL COME BACK! I HAVE WAITED. _ Peter stops a moment to gains his breath and continue while Jen just gently pats his head while James’ sobbing. - T-Then the l-lady kicked me out. I was alone. Knowing that you dead, and you fall off the train. Steve also nowhere to be seen. _ Peter accused them.
- We're sorry Arana, w-we have been through a lot. C-Can you look at us, baby Arana? _ Jen sobs quietly while apologizes him. But Peter refuses to look at his brothers. - Peter Benjamin Whitneys I say to look at us. _ Jen orders sternly. Peter looks up, Jen and James still smile so sweetly and gently, their eyes are puffy red just like him. God, Peter really misses that voice, the big brother voice.
- We promise we'll come back. It took a while but now we're here. The Whitneys bond hard like eternity. We'll be together. We have promise that on our rings. Right? _ James says while try to rub clean his eyes like what Jen was doing 5 minutes earlier.
- R-Right. _ Peter nods. They burst out chuckle. Steve chuckles too. Tony still looks dumfolded.
- But we promise you, Arana. Now we'll be together. Okay? Promise on our rings. _ Jen says softly, Peter nods as an answer, while rubbing his face on Jen's chest. The older three smile at that. That is a habit of their little brother when he calms and comfortable. Then they pull out the rings, Peter hold his in his hand and taps with the rings on his brothers’ hands.
- Whitneys bond rings. Never broken. We'll be together forever. We're the Whitneys siblings and Whitneys siblings never give up or breaking promise! _ They echo with the ring's sound, bumping against the other.
- But you'll have to tell us that costume of yours and that web on Steve's hand, okay? _ James points to Steve.
- Okay. I made them though. _ Peter giggles with his brother while looks at Steve's dumb face. They press their heads together.
- Welcome back. _ They echoes.
- Okay you three smartasses. We owe them an explanation. _ Steve's eyes flies to Tony and his team, also Steve's team mates too.
- Oh right. _ Jen and James gets up then Jen picks Peter up, lets him sits on his arm.
- Hey! I'm not a baby! _ Peter protests.
- Still our baby boy Arana. _ Jen says cheerful. Peter just smiles and wraps his arms around Jen's neck, rests his head on Jen's hair.
- How about we find somewhere else to talk? _ Steve suggests. Tony only nods silent and gestures everyone to follows him.
=====
Now they're in the Avenger Compound. More exactly and directly, the Avenger's meeting room.
- So, explanation. _ Rhodey speaks up, look at Peter who sits comfortably in Jen's lap, playing with his fingers. Peter's a little average, just 1m7 while his three brothers are really tall. James and Steve both 1m83 and Jen, the oldest, is 1m91. He sometimes envies them at that. But now, he feels happy of his small figure.
- Right. Peter, I thought your name is Peter Parker? _ Tony asks from his seat. The four turns to look at him. The three older ones look surprise.
- Baby boy? _ James says quietly.
- Let's let him tell all of us then. _ Natasha shrugs from her seat.
- ... My real full name is Peter Benjamin Whitneys. _ It takes a couple second and some comfort touch from his two bio brothers for him to calm down enough to tells the truth. - I was born in 1929. These two- _ He points Jen and James. - Are my biological older brothers. And Steve is my brother by everything but blood.
Everyone's except the told three eyes widen in shock. This looking-17-years-old kid are older than most of them. Peter look a bit uncomfortable with everyone glare.
- Stop glaring my baby brother. _ Jen growls. They quickly adjust their eyes. James ruffles Peter's hair a bit. Steve just stay silent, give them moment.
- And... The power? _ Sam decide to breaks the silent.
- Oh right! Well... After Steve and James left, a year later, Howard let me in his lab when he found out my IQ. He reconsiders Jen's recommend paper about me. After a day spend there, I accidentally got bit by a not-so-normal-looking spider. Then I got a really bad fever and when I got better, I got this power. Then I join the army and got frozen like Steve. Two years ago, I got unfroze by S.H.I.E.D and got protected by May Parker. She took care of me since then. A year later I went to Midtown school of Science and Technology. _ He rambling but happily, everyone still can keep up with. The three freeze a bit. Then Peter turns to Jen, James and Steve. - I also made friend. Ned and MJ! They're really cool! _ The freeze quickly replaces by a wide grin on their faces.
- Really? _ James asks softly. Peter eagerly nods his head. Jen hugs him while James rests his forehead against Peter's.
- We really glad, baby boy. _ They say happily.
- ... But... When you join the army... You're just 15! _ Steve realized in shock.
- Y-Yes but I have spider power so I-I was fine. See? No scars. _ Peter quickly explains to his protective brothers.
- Okay, we believe you Arana. But we'll find out about your power later. Now, you go to school? _ Jen looks at the boy in his lap.
- Yup! _ Peter smiles, popping the 'p'. - Create my web there. And I became Spider-man. My two friend also know about that identity though. One by accident and one are too smart. _ Peter shrugs a bit in the last sentence.
- Wow Паук. I surprise at that. _ Natasha says.
- Thank you. _ Peter smiles.
- So how do you three think about joining the Avenger? _ Tony suddenly asks.
- W-What? _ The three widen.
- We could help Whitneys brothers at the brainwash, it will take a little time but it'll be okay. _ T'Challa says.
- Thank you for that, your Majesty. But we don't need it. Tony, can I borrow your lab a bit? _ Jen says while gets up with Peter and walks towards the door, James walks along him.
- Go ahead. _ Tony gets up too.
- All of you can come with us though. Sol? Take the lead. Write out the program now. _ Jen talks into his piece of metal in his hand.
- Sol? _ Everyone questions, even Steve and Peter.
[As you command, Master.] _ The metal piece flies up the air, turns to four, expand and an electric screen appear. A chibi figure appear and start writing some program.
- W-What is that? _ Clint asks disbelief.
- My AI, Sol and my phone. _ Answer and explain a little with Jen.
[Done, Master.] _ Sol speaks.
- Good. _ Jen taps something on the keyboard screen.
[And allow me to say hello to my other master. Hello Baby Master and Steve. I'm Master's AI, Sol. Little Master also helped create me.] _ Sol speaks, smiles warmly at them.
- Hi Sol. _ Peter's eyes shine in excited.
- Okay, are you ready Lobo? _ Jen looks into James' eyes.
- Always. _ James smiles.
- Do it, Sol. _ Jen says to the screen. The figure nods.
Jen and James lie on the bed, a lot of electric machine around them. Everyone except Peter and Tony, leave. After two hours, everything done. They no longer being under Hydra's control. And then Winter Soldier, Rabbitter (Jen asks to change his name, he hates the old one) and Spider-man officially become Avengers.
And all of them live at the Compound, before that Peter and his brothers come and greet May the last time. Peter thanks her for everything she has done for him. He also tells his friend, Ned and MJ, his secret. About his true identity along Spider-man and his brother.
