Chapter 2
2 months ago he was leaving for some place in India to train with Wade, he later found out that Wade's "Training" was just 2 months of nonsense and some mercenary jobs he had there, he did learn the workings of most guns you'd find in the areas that Peter would be working in, and by "working" he meant any form of his vigilantism whether it was taking down bad guys or it was mercenary work of some kind. He learned all fighting forms and made his own out of a combination of them, he learned how to fight with improvised weapons and of course he and wade spared and Peter didn't have to hold back because it was wade, worst thing that happens is wade is out for a day because of losing a limb. But now he returns to his city, as he stood on top of the train he used to get there from the airport he looked among the skies and saw a helicopter flying by, so he webbed up to and hung onto one of the landing skids for a birds eye view and saw the apartment complex wade was talking about, it used to be wade's until he became dead-pool, he still used it occasional but due to him traveling the world for his mercenary work he wasn't there often anymore so he told Peter to use it as a base as long as he needed, so he jumped off the landing skid and deployed his web gliders and headed towards it.
When he got there he set up his stuff, a police issued scanner so he knew what was going on and where, his weapons crate that at the time only held 3 things, on of wade's extra katanas, Fisk's revolver and a box of ammo for it. He zipped open his suit case and started to put his clothes in his dresser when he heard someone in the alley beside the building
"Give me the purse" the voice demanded
"fine fine just take it and don't shoot me please" the voice pleaded. hearing this Peter grabbed his suit and put it in and jumped down between them
"there a problem here" he said staring at the guy mugging her with his suits lenses as narrow as they could be with a beat red light illuminating them
"uh, no not at all sorry about that" the guy said as he turned to run realizing what was about to happen, but before he could make it anywhere he got his gun webbed out of his hand and turned to see it flying at his head and then everything went black
"thank you spider-man, you saved me" Peter heard from behind him before he webbed off back to his apartment to finish unpacking, when he crawled through the window and heard his police scanner go off
"we've got a 10-30 in the JP Morgan chase bank, multiple confirmed hostages and shots fired" the voice said. 10-30 that's a robbery he thought as he jumped back out the window and started swinging, when he got there he instantly started looking around for an entry point and found a skylight on the roof and climbed through it and started listening to the robbers talking
"if anyone comes through that door we blow it" the leader said as 6 people fanned out and either controlled the crowed or stuffed money into duffel bags and piled them up, confused on what he meant by blow it he looked around and saw the place wired with C4, each pillar had one and each wall had 1 every 10 feet, that's enough to level the building he thought. He quickly came up with a plan to take the guys out, first he would try to disarm the bombs without them noticing, assuming that they were controlled by Bluetooth or WiFi he concluded that if he found the main control computer he could disarm them all at once, after that he'd take out the gunmen. He activated his radio detection mode of his suit's lenses he saw one of the gunmen's phone was producing the most radio waves meaning that it was controlling the C4, he shot a web at him and brought him to the ceiling without anyone else but a hostage seeing, once he got him up to the ceiling with him he took the phone and broke it, when he did he saw the rest shut down, he went back to his regular lenses and dropped to the floor, when he did he landed on a guy, webbed him up and said
"hi i'd like to make a withdrawal" and with that all eyes were on him, before he could make his next move the leader pulled out his gun and shot one of the hostages, instantly Peter webbed the gun out of his hand and brought it to Peters feet, quickly he grabbed the gun jumped up while doing a side flip as they all pulled their triggers and shot at him but missed, as he landed he pulled the trigger of his gun sending a bullet into the leaders head, shocked that they just saw spider-man kill a guy everyone looked towards him seeing his suits eyes extremely narrow and glowing an ominous red, instantly realizing that they were screwed they tried to surrender and put their weapons down Peter sent a web at each one sending them flying through the front windows and into the cars in the front, considering the situation dealt with he went out the same way hey came in.
When he reached the apartment he finished unpacking and turned on the TV to see a news report with the caption "spider-man killing now??" seeing this he turned the volume up and listened as one of the hostages from the bank talked to the reporter
"and then he dropped from the ceiling and said 'id like to make a withdrawal' and when he did one of the gunmen shot a hostage, but as soon as he did Spider-man just shot him without out even flinching"
"there you have it folks" the reporter said "Spider-man has killed someone and he might do it again, what changed during his two month vanishing act, find out by tuning in next week, back to you J.J" she said as it cut to another person, this one Peter knew, it was James Jonah Jameson, the famous spider-man hater, great, whats he gonna say about this Peter thought
"well there you have it folks, the menace is now killing and letting innocents get killed while he's at it" with that Peter turned off the TV to make some dinner when the scanner went off again.
"We've got a 10-88 currently going south down 44th suspects are armed and shots have been fired" the voice said as he dashed out the window already in his suit, this time it was a little different, it was more armored and had small utility belt with a holster on it, in the holster was the black and gold revolver he kept when he had killed Fisk, as he got to were the case was he heard his mini scanner say with a different voice
" This is officer Conner I've got a 10-62 on the corner of 44th and 45th, unit is immobile and partner is down" after hearing this Peter knew what had happened seeing the weapons the gunmen in the car were using, they were M4A1s with a grenade launcher under barrel. He webbed down to the roof of the car, eyes narrow and red light glowing he drew his gun and shot the 4 guys through the roof of the car and then webbed the car to a halt, he made sure that it was dealt long enough for the cops to arrive and swung off back to the apartment. Upon reaching the apartment he took the suit off, turned off the scanner and flopped into his bed and went to sleep.
He woke up to a banging on his door, groaning he got up and went to the door, when he opened it he found Wanda Maximoff, aka scarlet witch, still in his underwear he felt a little awkward as she stood there in a red hoodie and some yoga pants along with a baseball cap and some sunglasses.
"we need to talk" she said as she walked in to his apartment
"sure let your self right in" he said sarcastically
"Peter this is serious" she said as she plopped down onto his couch and pulled out her phone
"OK whats wrong" he said as he opened his fridge and took out a carton of eggs
"well i originally came here for something else but saw this on the way over" she said as she brought him her phone and showed the article about him killing people "whats this about Peter, tell me its not true"
"hate to break it to ya witchy but its true" he responded grabbing a frying pan igniting the stove
"why, what happened to your no killing rule"
"well they didn't happen to have the same mind set, so why should i" he answered while cracking 3 eggs into the pan
"because we are better than them" she said
"yeah well that's what i thought, but then i saw my aunt may and uncle Ben get killed in cold blood, had to deal with my parents being sucked out of their plane and never getting to see them again, and then Mr. Stark saved the world and died, and then to top it all of Ned got shot right in front of me because i wasn't fast enough, so why should i be better than them Wanda" he replied seriously as he flipped his eggs
"look Peter i know its been hard but you had the avengers, we were still there for you, we-" she was saying as she got cut off
"but you weren't, i was at the compound with you guys for 2 months and the most you guys said to me was it was time to eat or that you were leaving for a mission, the only people that talked to me was happy, Morgan and pepper so i left, did anyone say anything then, no, i vanished for 2 months without saying anything to anyone and there wasnt a single phone call from anyone, so don't you tell me i had you guys" he was practically yelling at this point as he finished his eggs and took care of the late " i started killing because they deserved it, notice i didn't kill any of the other robbers, only the one that shot the hostage, i killed the carjackers because they were shooting grenades and killing people" he finished
"But is this what Mr. Stark would have wanted" she said instantly regretted bringing up his name as he saw the change in Peters mood from anger to sadness, clearly remembering that day. She walked up to Peter who was still leaning over the sink washing his pan and plate and wrapped her arms around him and said
"look, i'm sorry, we're just worried about you. Why don't you come back to the compound with me" she said as she rubbed his back
"why would i do that, so they could ignore me more" he said, she couldn't see his face but she could tell he was sad by the quivering in his voice
"they only did that because they weren't sure what to do, i mean, you were practically stark's child, every time they looked at you they thought of tony and what happened, they knew how close you guys were and they wanted to give you your space, they realize they treated you the way no one should have been. Just come back to the compound with me for a few days, they all want to talk to you, pepper needs to talk to you about tony's will and Morgan misses you"
"fine, ill go for 3 days, that's it" he said
"good, ill help you pack" she said as she went into his room to find his walls plastered with gun racks and bullets riddled the floor, there was also a sword rack with what looked like a katana on it, there was only 4 guns there, an M4A1 from the carjackers the other day, a spaz-12 from the bank robbers and two pistols, one was a normal colt 45 that he took off the mugger the first day he was back and the last one was a matte black colt python with gold engravings making webs along the gun. After looking into the room she spun around and gave Peter a concerned look as she said "you collect guns now?? and whats up with that revolver, it looks like a mob bosses gun"
"yeah, never know when ill need them, and its because it was, it was kingpins, he used it to kill Ned so i used it to kill him" he responded
"oh, again I'm sorry about Ned" she said in a apologetic voice
"yeah.." he said as he pulled out a duffel bad and started packing, he grabbed put on his spider-man suit and put his katana in its sheath and in the bag and the python in his holster and then into the bag. He finally packed some clothes in his duffel bag and
"what are you doing with your suit " she asked as she tossed him a pair of socks he left out
"well, I'm going to be taking it with me so i can upgrade it in the lab" he said slinging the bag over his shoulder and grabbing his car keys
"wait.. Peter Parker has a car, in New York city" she remarked
"yeah, its actually kinda nice to slow down and drive once awhile" he said as he tossed her the keys to his car "if your riding with me id prefer you drive"
"why's that?" She asked
"because i'm not entirely used to driving yet" he said as they walked out the door and into the parking area of the building
"so what ones yours" she asked
"the one in the far left corner" he responded as they walked towards it, it was a 1991 Pontiac firebird painted red with a blue Strip down the middle, the interior was black leather with wood paneling and the cloth on the floor was a nice crimson red
"whoa, this must have cost you a fortune Peter" she said with a look of amazement in her eyes
"not when the guy who sold it to you doesn't know what he is doing, as for the customization yeah kinda but I've been working on this since before stark died so its not like it was 10k all at once" he said tossing his bag in the trunk of the car and getting into the passenger seat " now I'm tired so you are gonna drive and I'm gonna sleep" he said as Wanda got in and started it up
"alright Peter, ill wake you if i need you" she said pulling out of the garage
