Chapter 6
Peter woke up on Wanda's bed with a splitting headache, as he opened his eyes the light from the windows shined in and blinded him, making him instantly close them again
"Mmmhh... to bright" he groaned and he got up and closed them, as he did so he heard the water running from a shower, "that's gotta be Wanda" he thought, just then the water turned off and Wanda walked out with nothing but a towel around her, as she walked out she didn't expect peter to be up yet, not to mention moving, and it scared her
"AAH" she screamed jumping back, causing her towel to fall
"Oh uh" peter said as he quickly turned to face away
"i didn't think you'd be up yet" Wanda said scrambling to get dressed
"Yeah sorry about that" he said blushing and still turned away
"You can look now" she said as she finished getting dressed
"so do you know how i ended up in here last night" he said, still unsure of what all happened last night.
"uh yeah your room still isnt fixed remember, you slept in here after you walked in, asked and the passed out still standing up" she answered, clearly trying to hide a laugh "so, breakfast"
"Yeah sure, and can you quiet down for a bit, i think i have a hangover" he said
"Yeah me too" she added as they walked out and towards the kitchen. when they walked in it was clear there was a few more people with hangovers, Sam had sunglasses and earbuds in, Bucky was the same along with Clint except they didn't have earbuds, Nat who had drank the most that night was perfectly fine.
"he pete, we're all gonna go shooting today, wanna come" Natasha asked, trying to get him to warm up to them all, "Maybe some sparing, if you're up to it"
"uh yeah sure let me get some food first" he said grabbing the bread and popping it into the toaster.
"Cool, i'll meet you down there" she said walking towards the elevator. peter quickly grabbed the toast when it was done and put some jelly on it and followed.
As the reached the shooting range he realized that everyone but pepper and Morgan followed, and after the food and his healing factor his hang over was gone and he was in as good of a condition as he was gonna get, they all filed in and put on safety goggles and earmuffs, but before they started Natasha tapped him on the shoulder to make a bet with him.
"If i get a better score than you after 30 shots with the gun of users choice, you have to take me on a swing around New York" she said confidently
"Okay but what do i get if i win" he questioned
"i let you take a quin-jet for a fly"
"DEAL" he said almost immediately, allowing her to go first she picked up her glocks and started shooting, after 30 shots they brought the targets brought up, 5 targets in total, each had 6 shots, 3 in the head and 3 dead center in its chest, totaling at 300 points 50 for each bulls-eye, now it was peters turn, he picked up a random gun off the wall, it was a L96 sniper rifle. right as he picked it up she interjected with
"No snipers, it'd be to easy" complying he put it down and saw something interesting on the wall, it was a web shooter, one of his, except it wasnt because he was the only one that owned any, I had made them my self, how could they have one he thought to him self
"Whats this" he questioned raising an eyebrow
"You should know, you made them, you use them"
"yeah but how do you have one"
"its the only one we have and we only have it because of training, improvising weapons and such. say there was a fire fight and you got killed or knocked out and those were the only things we had, we need to have some idea of how to use them" she answered, he could see the apologetic look in her eyes, and it made sense
"Alright, fair enough" he said as he picked up a M1911 and a few loaded mags to total up to 30 rounds, once he was done it was the same results as Natasha, 300 points.
"i guess that means we have to do a tie breaker then" she said slightly surprised "10 training bots, who ever takes them down fastest wins, whatever gear we'd usually use in battle are allowed" she said, peter nodded his head in agreement, she pressed a button and the range turned into an open area as it opened up a slot in the floor and 10 training bots came out, they looked just like the iron legion except a little chunkier, more armor and less exposed wires.
"Ladies first" peter quipped as he saw her already geared up "Can someone get my suit for me i think its in the lab" he asked before Natasha started fighting
"I already have sent it down to you Mr. Parker" Friday said
"Oh, thank you" He said, as he turned to watch Natasha fight the bots, she worked from one to another, using some as spring boards and ripping wires in the process, shooting others, she even used her tasers on a few, when she was done the final time was 15:42. as peter walked up he heard something shoot out from the wall, using his enhanced reflexes he caught it to see it was the pod his suit was in, as he slapped it onto his thigh the entire thing built around him, his katana and gun soon came out of a slot in the wall. "That's neat" he said grabbing them as the floor reset "Karen you there" he asked his suits AI
"As always peter"
"Wait that's no fair, you have an AI" she wined
"You said what ever id take into battle with me regularly, now Karen, bring a timer up on my HUD" he said
"Of course peter" she said as the battle started, he flipped over the first bot in front of him and slapped a taser web to its back, as he landed the bot got electrocuted he drew his gun and fired three quick shots, each taking down a bot, so far it had been 2 minutes and he already had 4 gone, he drew his sword and sliced ones head off and use it as a soccer ball for a few, showing off and making quips.
"Oh as the famous peter Parker steals the ball from 23 (The numbering the bot had on its chest) and is now showing off, juggling the ball, oh whats this, he goes for a goal" he said as he kicked the head and sent it flying into another bot, knocking its head off "Oh and its a goal" he said, now only having 4 more to deal with and another 10 minutes tp do so, he ran up slid between its legs and planted a grenade right at its foot, as it looked down at it it blew up, sending parts every where, "Oh the brutality" he quipped, grabbing a leg from it, "Looks like hes got a leg up on the competition here" he said throwing it into another bot, knocking it to the ground he drew his gun and shot it twice for good measure, a he did so one of the last two charged him, as it did he flipped and dodged it, watching as it hit the wall and fell to pieces, only having to deal with one more in another 8 minutes he just turned and threw his katana at it, but in an unexpected twist it caught it and stated to use it against him, peter dodging it easily stole it back and stabbed the bot through the chest, after the bot shut down the timer stopped at 8:42, a whole 7 minutes faster than Natasha
"So where are the keys" he joked as his suit deformed around him and back into the pod that rested on the side of his thigh
"its not over yet Parker, you've gotta spar against Sam if you wanna fly that thing" she said
"What, that wasn't apart of the deal
"well the thing is my baby, i take care of it all the time so, if you can beat me in a 1v1, you can fly it" Sam spoke up out of the group of people watching
"Alright get your wings and meet me out side then" he said, suit already forming around him
"No no no, not that kind of 1v1" he said smirking
"then what did you mean"
"follow me" he said walking into a different room "Welcome to my domain" he said flipping on a light switch to reveal a bar looking room complete with old school arcade machines, pool tables, and a few Foosball tables. after the grand reveal the rest of the avengers went to the bar where the drinks were and made some popcorn on the machine that was down there, they then watched Sam and peter go at it in multiple things, pool, Foosball, Mario cart, and the tie breaker was super smash bros, where peter lost.
"Oh that's no fair, i beat her in everything but this, and she wasn't even the one playing" he complained
"Fine, ill let you fly the quin-jet back to New York when you leave but when we get there you have swing me around the city" she said trying to compromise with him, but before he could answer she added "and anyone else who wants a turn"
Peter had to think about it before he agreed "Alright, works for me, who else wants a turn" he asked and looked towards the avengers watching them, Wanda and pepper had their hands up with a face of excitement along with Morgan, Clint and Bucky had their hands up in an 'i guess' sort of way "So everyone but Sam"
"Hey kid im good, i can already fly" he had said sipping on his drink
"Well in that case why do you want to go Pepper" Natasha asked her
"Because the suit is different, im in a clunky thing flying and all you can hear is the repulsers"
"Alright then, I'm leaving tomorrow so be ready" Peter said before walking out towards the elevator
"Wait why are you leaving so soon" Wanda asked while following him
"I said that's is be here for three days, i ended up unconscious for a week, because of that i stayed for another three days that'd id actually be awake" he said walking into the elevator, Wanda right behind him, pressing the button for the floor with their rooms on it
"Oh come on pete, just a few more days" She begged
"New York needs Spider-Man, and he's already been gone for almost two weeks" he argued
"Fine, but visit sometimes at least" she said
"I'll try" he said stepping off the elevator and walking into his now fixed room, "Damn they work fast" he thought to himself as he put on some sweat pants and went to bed. the next morning when he woke up he grabbed what little bags he brought, his weapons, and his suit pods and recharges (he made a few extras just in case) and started to walk out of his room when he was greeted by everyone that was going with him so they could swing around the city "Oh, right" he said "Alright lets load up i guess" he said and they all piled into the quin-jet.
"So, you have any idea on how to fly this thing" Natasha asked leaning on the back of the pilots chair
"A little bit" he said while flipping switches and levers until the engines powered up and they took off, Natasha was there with a impressed face while pepper was shocked
"How'd you learn that" pepper asked
"while i was here after thanos i studied almost everything that stark made in case id need to make it some day, all the way back to the Jericho missile" he said
"Well damn" was the only thing Sam could think of saying
About half an hour later he landed the quin-jet on the old stark tower, it was still owned by stark industries just no longer used, when he did they all got out and peter but on his suit
"Who first" he said looking towards the group
"I'll go" Pepper said walking forward, clearly terrified of what was about to happen
"Hold on tight" he said, he still had a web on he back attached to him just in case, and they were off, he swung her around the city for about ten minutes before taking her back, she screamed for the first five minutes and after that she took in the sights, the things she'd never see this way again, when they reached the tower she had a huge grin on her face
"Thank you peter" she said walking back towards Morgan
"Next" he said waiting for someone to volunteer
"I guess ill go" Bucky said walking towards him "You better not drop me or pretend to drop me, no funny shit or i take us both down" he said seriously as peter put a web on his back just in case, just like he did with pepper, and they were off, it was pretty much the same for everyone but Morgan, he took Morgan on a longer swing than the others, took her to the empire state building and everything, as they came back he still had to swing Natasha around.
"Alright come on" he said attaching a web to her back just like the others, and they jumped off the tower, about half way through the swing they heard someone scream for help, peter instantly turned and went to help, when they landed they saw what was happening, it was a group of guys surrounding a girl.
"Hey thats no way to treat a lady, you need to take her to dinner first" he joked, when they turned they went to rush him, there was 6 guys in total, 2 had baseball bats, 3 had pipes and one had a knife, as they ran towards him he webbed one of the bats out of a guys hand and took it into his, "Batter batter swing" he said clocking a guy in the head with it, then he dodged the other guys swing and quipped "STRIKE ONE" "STRIKE TWO" as he dodge another "AND STRIKE THREE, YOU'RE OUT" he said as the guy missed his third swing and peter knocked him into a wall and webbed him up, there were still four to go, he picked up a pipe from one of the guys and said "Hi im here about that plumbing issue" as he cracked it against a guys head, 3 left, while he did all of this Natasha just stood and watched, she knew he had this, every time he joked she let out a small chuckle, she had seen this before but wasn't sure where. after he cleaned up the last 2 guys and checked on their victim they were off again, just before he reached the tower she asked.
"Who taught you how to do all that stuff"
"What stuff" he said puzzled
"The fighting, the shooting"
"Oh, the fighting was mostly just YouTube and experience, though just like the shooting and gun skills, it was Wade Wilson, after Ned died he taught me skills to keep the people close to me from dying" upon hearing the name she was shocked, Wade Wilson, dead-pool, the merc with a mouth, one of the most dangerous men on the SHIELD watch list just took in peter and trained him, and peter acted like it was no big deal.
"WAIT, Dead-pool, Wade Wilson" she said
"yeah thats the one" he said shooting another web and swinging
"You know he has a kill count in the thousands"
"Yeah, and so is yours"
"But wade is uncontrollable" she said as they landed back at the tower
"Whats your point, just because you cant control something doesnt mean they are a threat, you cant control a newborn puppy, you gonna shoot it" he said angrily
"Thats not the same and you know it"
"Right because you can actually kill the puppy" he said as he looked back towards the now staring group "Id love to hang around but Black widow here doesnt like the fact that someone was there for me when everyone else wasnt, bye" he said as he fell backwards off the tower and started swinging. he went back to where he had to leave his car the other day, hopped in and started driving, it hadn't been 5 minutes before his phone rang, it was wanda.
"What" he answered, still pissed
"What happened" She asked
"What nat didnt tell you"
"No she walked onto the plane and anytime some one asked she gave them a death stare"
"Well she didnt like the fact that after Ned died the person that took me in was Wade Wilson"
"Who's that"
"Dead-pool"
"Oh..."
"Yeah but he was there, you guys weren't, he taught me how to take care of myself, how to protect loved ones, actual hand to hand combat and not the shit i did, all you guys did was look at me with sorrow"
"Peter you know everyone here is sorry for that"
"Really because it seems like its only you, you're the one that came to get me, you're the one that called me, so if they cared or if they were sorry then why didnt they do it" he finished before he hung up and turned the phone off. he got home, parked his car and went inside, when he did he was able to see the quin-jet flying off, he decided to get food and go to bed before he got even more pissed off.
