Peter's pov

Scenes flashed through my mind, aunt may on a gurney, being dragged from an alley, a cold metal bed underneath me, doctors in my face, needles. All these things and more flashed through my head, making it run with panic. I was on the metal table again, the doctors were shaking me, I pulled at my restraints but nothing happened, I screamed but nothing came out, the shaking got harder and harder until a splash of cold hit my face.

My eyes flew wide open, I jumped up to my feet, and Shot a web with my web shooters that I usually would have removed before falling asleep.

I looked around, trying to get my bearings. I was out of the dream, I wasnt there anymore. Ned and Mj stood a few feet away, Mj was holding a glass. "You ok man?" Ned asked with worry.

"Y-yeah" I mumbled, still recuperating from the nightmare, I squinted at the glass in Mj's hand and then at her, "did you throw water on me"

Mj looked at me unguiltily "yes"

I nodded. Ned still seemed unconvinced "You sure you are ok man, you looked like you were having a seizure"

"Yeah, I'll be good, just a nightmare"

Now Ned looked sympathetic "you know it's ok to talk about them, we're both here for you" he gestured to himself and Mj

I just smile a bit, trying to hide my fear from the images I had just seen, "its cool, Hydra doesn't bother me anymore" in truth it did, just saying the name made me internally shutter.

Ned let it go, deciding it was better to steer the conversation away from what just happened. "Anyway, how are you feeling, you came in pretty banged up last night"

"I feel great" I give a small real smile, "thanks to you guys anyway. Though I don't think Karen is, she was acting weird last night"

Ned shook his head, giggling a bit "no she wasn't"

"What do you mean" I asked confused "during the fight she started turning on protocols without being asked. Sure this time it helped but in the future it might end badly"

Mj was smirking now "no, idiot, she wasn't malfunctioning"

I furrowed my brow in confusion. "It was us" ned told me.

I didn't answer, still confused. "They were broadcasting the fight on the news. We knew that the avengers were not something you would be able to defeat all by yourself, so Ned hacked into Karen. From there we just turned on the protocols we thought would help you, as well as took control of everything Karen told you" mj elaborated

I turned to Ned incredulously "you hacked my suit"

He nodded, looking quite proud of his accomplishment. I just shook my head trying to clear my shock. "Wow"

"Any way, what happened last night, obviously there was a fight but the coverage of it didn't explain much" Ned asked eagerly.

"Well," I started "I heard sirens so naturally, I went to help. They must have done a lot of planning though, cause they were definitely ready for me. There were no buildings around, also probably planned. Then captain America came out and tried to get me to come "peacefully" again. I didn't, he threw his shield at me, then Black Widow came out and tried to shoot me. From there it was just us fighting, till Hawkeye came in and Shot me. Captain almost got me, but I broke out. We fought again. Then Karen -no, you guys- engaged web grenades" I shot them a look "which was stupid and could have ended VERY badly"

"Would you of rather got captured" Mj reasoned.

I ignored her "I got out of the web's, then the other avengers showed up and I fought them, then I was crawling up the building then you guys put on trazer webs, again, not a good idea, but thanks, and I took down iron man. Then I came here."

Mj and Ned looked at me like I was crazy

"Dude, you defeated the avengers" ned fanboyed.

Mj smacked him on the head. "What did we say about not dying." She pointed out.

"Hey, I'm not dead, am I?" I pointed right back.

She sighed and rolled her eyes. "What time is it anyway" I asked.

"3:15" ned answered me.

If I were in bed i would have fallen out of it. "Oh god, I gotta go, I told the kids that I would be back early today, and considering there isn't school today, they probably have already expected me" I told them

"It's fine, go do whatever you gotta do" Mj told me.

I smirked and pulled on my mask and suit before jumping out the window. Thankfully, I didn't get stopped by anyone. I got to my book bag with no problem and was back on the street in my civilian clothing. When I got to the orphanage, I did not find a pretty sight.

Daisy was standing in front of a seven year old boy named Jack. In front of the 2 stood Ms. Virli. "MOVE OUT OF THE WAY YOU STUPID GIRL" she shouted at Daisy.

Daisy looked scared but stood her ground, "n-no, you can't hurt him, he doesn't deserve it"

Ms. Virli growled, then raised her arm in an attempt to slap the 13 year old in front of her. I ran in front of Daisy. "Woah!! What is happening" I shout, trying to get Ms. Virli's attention off of Daisy and Jack.

It worked, she turned her attention on me. "You again!" She shouted annoyed.

"Yes, me again" I sassed, I knew I shouldn't overstep it, but I really hated this woman.

"DONT TAKE THAT TONE WITH ME" she shouted, before unleashing a hard slap to my face. That would definitely leave a mark.

I didn't move though, instead I reached back and pushed Daisy father back. Getting the message, she steered Jack out of the room, while Ms. Virli payed attention only to me. "I'm sorry ma'am," I tried to take shyness, if she thought I was sorry for talking back to her, she might beat me less.

Another Sharp slap to my face. Then a punch to the abdomen. I fell to the ground when she sent another punch at my stomach that jolts my not fully healed arm. She sent a kick at my stomach one at my legs, and one at my face. She then decided that she had roughed me up enough and left to probably go to her room, and forget about everyone else.

I stood up slowly, I was sore, and I would heal a bit slower because of my healing factor working so hard on my arm.

I walked into the kitchen and looked around, a few kids were there, Jack and Daisy, as well as Theo who is 5 and Mya who is 10. Daisy took one look at my face and rushed to get a paper towel. "OH MY GODS, your nose is bleeding"

She handed me the towel, and I was surprised to see blood on it when I took it away from my nose. "Why would you do that" she complained at me.

"Why would YOU do that" I pointed out.

"Cause if I hadn't, Jack would have got it. " she answered

I couldn't fight her on that one. "You really got to stop playing hero, Mr. I'm-18-months-older-than-you. You tell me not to get hurt but then come back from wherever you go during the day all bruised up, then you go jumping in front of Ms. Virli." She continued

"I know, but...." I knew she had me cornered so I changed the subject. "What do you all want for dinner" I addressed everyone currently in the kitchen.

"Chicken" mya purposes.

"Steak" jack inputted

"Fish sticks" Theo exclaimed.

Daisy rolled her eyes, knowing I was trying to change the subject, but dropped it "I'll eat whatever" she told me.

"Ok, everyone else will have to settle for one of those 3 then. As much as I would love to make something for everyone, its just not possible" I tell them.

I walk to the fridge to see what i Need to pick up from the store but see that everything is miraculously restocked. My eyebrows furrow but then i realize what must have happened and I roll my eyes. "Daisy, I told you I can do the shopping, and that you didn't have too"

"And i told you that you don't have to over exert yourself, looks like we both disobeyed our rules" she shots back.

I rolled my eyes but grabbed out the necessary ingredients. I had to shoo Daisy out of the kitchen, much to her displeasure.

After 2 hours, I was finally finished. I brought the pans out to the dining room, all the kids slowly trickled in until all the spots at the table were full.

The radio was on and there was a man speaking on it about The fight last night, the fight between me and the avengers

"No one knows what the fight was about, but the most popular idea at the moment is that spidey has gone rouge. If this is the case, we must protect ourselves. As we have seen, the avengers are trying to bring this vigilante in, but they keep failing. Obviously, this man is not one to be crossed. People are taking safety measures just in case. If you see spiderman, it is advised that you get away as quickly as possible. As of the moment shield has not commented on the events of last night." The radio man cut off, and the weather started playing.

During the radio message, Ms. Virli walked in, grabbing a chicken before spitting out, "serves him right, that menace has terrorized this city for too long. Is about time the avengers try to take him down.

At her words I looked down into my plate of steak, of course people are going to start hating me now. Who would they rather trust, a low level vigilante or the people who have saved the world. Even I would believe the avengers more.

A few of the kids noticed my distress. Mya piped up after Ms. Virli left "I don't think she is right. I don't think any of them are. Spiderman is a hero, he has saved LOTS of people. Why do people doubt him like this."

Everyone mumbled their agreement. I looked up a bit, glad that people do still believe in me. That night, I stayed to the shadows, stopping muggings and attempted rapes, but letting the bigger stuff like robberies be handled by the police, monitoring them just incase I was needed. I got back pretty early that night, still upset from all the hate I was getting.

avengers pov

we slept off our defeat, but regrouped directly the next morning. "So....  That didn't go well" Steve, who was sore, started.

Everyone nodded solemnly. "Ok, well, what should we do." Asked a annoyed tony stark, "whoever he is, this guy is good"

"Well, I'm not sure attacking again will work." Nat added, "he seems to be getting help from someone"

Steve nodded, "I heard. He was talking to someone in an earpiece or something"

"He called her karen" tony supplied.

"Ok.... So we have a name, now what" bruce asked.

"Like I said, I don't think attacking him again will work" Nat reittirated

"Why" Sam asked.

"He's made it very clear that he is protecting people from his alter ego. He isn't going to give up any time soon, and we can't defeat him. We have get him another way, we have to find his real identity" nat told the team.

"Aren't we trying to capture him to find his identity. Now youre telling us we have to find his identity to capture him?" Sam asked, unconvinced.

"Well, we certantly should keep trying to get him when out stopping crime, but I think looking into his identity would be helpful too" Nat reminded.

"Its, worth a shot, but how, we have almost no information on him" tony asked

"Names. Obviously he likes talking, we keep him talking until he slips up and says a name, any name is something to go on. From there, we look into it as much as possible, and try to find out more. Of course, keep trying to get him in when he is spiderman, but I have a gut feeling that it's not going to work."

The team considered her plan. They slowly mumbled their agreement. They were still annoyed about there obvious fall last night. But they were confident they would get there eventually. Maybe Nats plan was the best way to do this.

A/n oof, yay, finally got a chapter out. I wanted to update my other story, but I had a few I ideas for this one that I wanted to get down, so instead I wrote this one.

Quote of the week:
Me holding my sisters book "Ew, a reading requirement book" sister, looking at me confused "how did you know" sniffs book "I can smell it" cause books all smell differently and I can somehow tell the difference.
