Danny woke up feeling as refreshes as he always did. The sun was slowly rising to the sky so that meant he needed to get up. He did was he always did every morning when he got out of bed. He would change out of his clothes and into more appropriate work out attire. He would then do 50 push ups, 50 sits ups, and go for a 30 minutes jog around the block. He found a park nearby which he would use to do 20 pull ups, 30 squats, and another set of 50 push ups.

He would then go to a local bakery he found by accident. He would go inside and greet the owners, a nice elderly couple, before ordering fresh bread. While he waited for his order, his mind flashed back to Y/N. Yesterday's trying session seemed a bit more tense than usual. Once he gave his report to Natasha regarding this Carnage person, he completely dipped to his room.

Danny began to wonder what his mindset was. So much was happening in such a short amount of time. Maybe he would ask him to go for a jog with him in the afternoon just to get some fresh, safe, air. Danny got his bread, and headed back to the tower. He would then prepare the bread alongside a healthy breakfast and eat in the comforting silence. Normally he would be half way done with his breakfast by the time everyone began to wake up.

He would greet his friends as they entered and offer them the bread. He would chat with Laura regarding work out regiments or talk to Miles about new music. He was trying to broaden his horizons. By the time everyone has entered the main room, Danny would be done with his food and ready for training. It took him a moment before he realized that someone was missing.

He asked Miles if he had seen Y/N, the two of them seemed close, but the boy didn't know. Danny then checked with Kitty. Normally he would go to Viv but he didn't want her to feel even more uncomfortable. Neither Viv nor Y/N knew that everyone knew what happened. Sam also didn't know where Y/N was. Gwen offered to go check on him but came back and reported that he wasn't in his room.

Que the panicking group of teens.

Y/N had made it a habit of sneaking out and doing things that were never approved of. First the A.I.M. base, then Carnage, and now God knows what. Danny was sure that he wasn't at Felicia's since he had mentioned that she was busy today. Natasha walked in and asked the question they were all wondering.

Where is Y/N?

Natasha opened up her device and noticed that someone was using the simulation. There he was. Danny got up and offered to go check on him as well as Gwen. Natasha agreed and the three of them headed to the simulator. When they got the booth they found Y/N fighting off the holograms with his claws. He was shirtless and sweaty. This wouldn't be a cause of concern but Natasha pointed something out. The simulation had been running for the past 6 hours. It had reached max difficulty yet Y/N looked fine. The simulation would shut down if he got too injured anyway.

Gwen: Wow. How is he not tired?

Danny: Maybe he isn't using his powers as much.

Natasha looked around the simulation before she made a discovery.

Natasha: He isn't using his powers at all. There's no burn marks and the temperature is still normal. He seemes to be only using his claws and strength.

The three watched the young man slice through the enemies like it was nothing. When there were none left, the simulation asked if he wanted to continue. He said yes. More enemies appeared and Y/N jumped right back into it. Danny watched the way the boy moved. He was fast, clean, focused. He wasn't training to keep his mind off of things. He was training to get stronger. Natasha turned the simulator off which seemed to confuse the boy who was covered in sweet. He looked around frantically before he spotted the three of them.

Natasha: How long have you been doing this?

Y/N shrugged before he looked at the clock. Seems that he didn't even realize. He allowed himself to sit down against the wall and catch his breath. The black symbiote appeared in his shoulder and talked to him about something they couldn't hear. Y/N nodded at whatever it was and stood back up. He exited the room. Once the three of them left the booth, they found the boy waiting for them in the hall.

Y/N: I'm supposed to head over to the Avengers Tower today right?

Natasha: That is right. You were excused from training today.

Y/N: That's why I was in there. Sorry if I made you worry.

He didn't sound like it. Danny looked at the boy and saw something dangerous in his eye. The look of anger. Pure, raw, powerful anger. Looks like he wasn't quite over his run in with Carnage just yet. Y/N turned away and headed to his room. Danny followed the others back to the main room. He hoped that his friend would be ok.
----------
You arrived at the Avengers Tower around 10 which gave you time to shower and freshen up. That simulation really kicked your ass. You were greeted by Clint who seemed busy talking to someone on the phone.

Clint: Yes.....then take a right.....what do you mean there's a wall?......then take a right.

Giving directions. You headed to the lab with your hands in your pockets. You didn't get much sleep last night. You had bags under your eyes when you looked in the mirror. You were so out of it, you didn't notice that you almost bumped right into Wanda. She turned to greet you but you kept walking.

Wanda: Good morning to you to.

You stopped and turned around. Now you felt like an asshole.

Y/N: Sorry. I didn't see you there.

Wanda was about to joke with you before she saw the dark marks under your eyes and posture. She walked over to you to get a closer look.

Wanda: Are you ok? Are you sleeping well?

You shrugged. Not really but you weren't going to tell her that.

Y/N: Just some crazy dream keeping me awake. No big deal. Is Dr. Banner in the lab?

Wanda nodded and you thanked her. You then left. Wanda began to worry. Ever since Viv told her about her feelings towards you, she wondered how you would react. It actually seems that Viv has come to her quite a bit since meeting you.

You finally reached the lab and found Dr. Banner, Tony, and Peter inside.

Tony: Good morning kid. Take a seat and let's get this over with.

Dr. Banner rolled his eyes and helped you get comfortable.
-----------
You were staring at the needle Peter put in your arm which had a safe form of Anti-Cells coating to prevent your skin from healing. Banner was already in the process of testing your blood for clues regarding your power, Tony was working on investigating the Anti-Cells in his own space, and Peter was taking some more blood.

Peter: So how are things with Venom? Not causing too much trouble I hope.

Venom appeared and glared at Peter.

Venom: We have bonded perfectly.

You had to remind yourself that Venom was once bonded with Peter. You could almost recall the black Spider-Man suit. Peter rolled his eyes and pulled the needle out. Your healing factor kicked in and quickly healed the sma hole.

Banner: Fascinating.

You looked over to him. He was looking at a screen before spinning around in his chair.

Banner: You don't know who your parents are correct?

You shook your head. The only thing you knew about them was that Venom knew your mom.

Venom: Hisss mother wasss a ssscientisssst.

You looked at him.

Y/N: That's nice to know.

Venom: Sssshe wasss a nerd. Like you. You actually have her eyesss and nossse. Your hair looksss like hersss to.

Why was this coming up just now?

Banner: Right. Well, unfortunately we can't find any blood or DNA that matches with yours.

That was not good news. So this couldn't even give you any leads. Banner than smiled.

Banner: Because your blood and DNA is so mixed up.

You raised a brow. Banner handed you the tablet and began to explain.

Banner: You have a core DNA. You were born naturally like any other human. The difference is, after you were born, you were injected with various strains of DNA and a lot of different blood. The were dormant until you unlocked them.

You looked at the diagram on the screen. You could actually understand it pretty easily.

Banner: You have so many more abilities that you haven't unlocked yet. I don't know what they are though. It seems that you have a little bit of everything.

Y/N: So I really am like Frankenstein's Monster.

Banner: If you want to go with that then sure. But this isn't the kicker.

He reached over and tapped something on the screen. It zoomed in on your DNA strain.

Banner: You have an extra gene.

You looked up in shock.

Peter: Does that mean....

Y/N: I'm a mutant?

Tony looked over, suddenly interested.

Banner: One of, if not both, of your parents was a mutant. You were born a mutant.

This was, something. So you were in the same boat as Kitty and Laura. Well, maybe more Laura. Peter looked over the data on the tablet.

Venom: Doesss that mean we have to join the X-Men?

Tony: Not really.

Venom: Good. That Wolverine guy creepsss me out.

Y/N: So one of my parents was a mutant. Maybe even both. This makes things a bit, easier. How many mutants could there possibly be?

Tony: Technally no one know. Mutants are supposed to register as Mutants but sometimes they don't. Mostly out of fear which I can understand.

Peter: There are a lot of hate groups dedicated to killing Mutants. A lot of people in society don't accept them.

That's right. You remembered seeing a rally once when you were younger. The Old Man pulled you away and told you to never be like them. Well now one of your closest friends was a mutant, Laura was still an ally at best, and so were you.

Banner: It'll take some time before everything else is ready. You can go relax in the lounge if you want.

Peter helped you up and lead you out of the room.

Peter: Did you eat yet?

Venom: The boy isss sssstarving me.

Once the three of you were gone, Tony turned to Banner.

Tony: These Anti-Cells...

Banner: I know.

Tony looked back at his data. They were made with on specific purpose. Taking your powers away. This new batch was even worse. It was made to take everyone's powers. This included mutants as well.

Tony: What's even going on any more. This is more confusing than one of Marvel's fan fics.

Banner looked at Tony questioningly.

Tony: I support the kid's passion.
--------
You and Peter sat at the table and ate. You were hungry since you actually didn't eat dinner last night. Venom was on the table muching on a bangel while you messed with the oatmeal Peter made.

Peter: Is it not good?

You looked up.

Y/N: What?

Peter: The oatmeal. You've barley touched it.

You looked back down at the bowl and sighed.

Y/N: Sorry. I got a lot in my mind.

Peter: Anything you wanna talk about?

You looked at the ring on Peter's finger. Maybe he could help. You looked around to make sure Wanda and Vision weren't around.

Y/N: Actually, can I ask you for some advice.

Peter nodded. You set your fork down and looked around one more time.

Y/N: So I have this friend. A good friend who I had helped a few weeks ago. I also have this girlfriend who is really cool and I really like....

Peter: Good for you.

Y/N: Thank you. The problem is, this friend...

Peter: Has feelings for you and you don't know how to respond because you're in a relationship and don't want to hurt her but you feel like you're hurting her even more by not answering.

You blinked a few times.

Y/N: That was an, oddly specific guess.

Peter: I've been through the mill a few times. I'm guessing you want some advice on how to handle it?

You nodded.

Peter: Alright. Who is this friend?

Y/N: I rather not say....

Venom: Viv.

Y/N: Dude.

Peter: And who is your girlfriend?

Y/N: I would also like to...

Venom: Her name isss Felicia Hardy or Cat.

Y/N: Why are you like this?

Venom threw down his bagel.

Venom: Becausssse I'm EVIL!

You shoved the bagel into his mouth. You turned back to Peter.

Peter: Well, my advice is to be up front and honest. Just tell Vi..your friend how you really feel. If you're in a happy relationship then you shouldn't risk it. Also, try not to hide this kind of stuff from your girlfriend. Secrets destroy relationships.

Y/N: But I keep my Hero life a secret.

Peter: And that's a completely different situation. Give it a year. Then come back to me and I'll help.

You gave it some thought. Just be honest. That seemed like the most obvious choice.

Y/N: Alright. When I get back I'll talk to her. Thanks Spidey.

Peter smiled.

Peter: You can always trust your friendly neighborhood therapist.

You went back to eating when you heard the elevator ding. You suddenly felt your headache start to act up. That was weird. It wasn't that long since the last one. What's going on now? You turned to the elevator and saw Clint step out holding a bag. A purple bag.

Then a second person walked out.

Y/N: What the shit?

Venom looked over and saw who had entered.

Venom: Another one? Really?

Clint set the bag down on the couch and gestured to the room. You couldn't hear what they were saying. He then pointed towards you and Peter. Clint noticed you were both there and walked over with the girl.

Clint: Hey, perfect timing. Just the guy I wanted to see.

Peter: Aw Clint. You know you can just call...

Clint: Not you. Him.

He pointed to you. Peter just playfully rolled his eyes.

Y/N: Why were you looking for me?

Clint: I want to introduce you to someone who will be joining the Program.

He stepped out of the way so you were looking at the girl.

Clint: This will be your new teammate Y/N.

He then turned to you.

Clint: Y/N, this is Katie Bishop. Aka the next Hawkeye.

Katie smiled.

Katie: Hey.

Y/N: Hey.

Venom: Not another one.
