Clint PoV
---------------------------
I left the room and walked towards the elevator. I clicked buttons 4,1, and 3 at the same time and placed my thumb on a small screen that appeared.
It let out an odd noise and flashed red.
Crap.
I readjusted my thumb and slammed the screen.
I hate it when this happens!
The elevator started to drop, but I managed to place my thumb on the screen in the right position and the elevator stopped it's rapid descent. The impact caused me to fall onto the floor, and I tried to make myself look presentable before I arrived.
The elevator dinged and opened up to reveal a room filled with at least a hundred kids. The face nearest to me belonged to Josh Acres. He was huddled on the floor, eyes filled with tears.
"Hey, Josh, what's a matter?" I asked, kneeling down so I could make eye contact.
Josh rushed towards me and nearly knowcked me over by attacking me with hugs. He cried in my shirt, and I asked what was wrong.
"I thought you were gonna get hurt!" He sobbed, pulling away.
"Aw, it's okay kid. No one can take down the great Clint Barton!"
"Really?" He wiped the tears from his face.
"You betcha." I picked him up and turned to address everyone else in the room.
"You can all come out now!" I called and took Josh with me into the elevator to be the first ones to reach the main building.
Others soon followed us, and the grounds were once again filled with life.
"Hey, Peter!" I waved, catching his attention, "How's the experementing?"
Peter walked up to me and explained a couple things, but he seemed off.
"Are you okay?"
"Yeah, yeah, I'm fine."
Lie.
"What's wrong?"
Peter looked around and looked at me. "Can we go somewhere else?"
I nodded, and we headed towards the apple orchard.
"What is it kid?" I was getting seriously worried.
"I, I got bitten by a spider."
My eyes widened. I'd been asking him and Harry about the experiments for the past couple days. Being bitten by one of the radioactive spiders could, no, would result in death.
"How long ago?" I demanded to know how much more time I had left with him.
"When we first stole them from Oscorp."
"What? You should be dead! You-"
"I know," Peter cut me off, "But I've been reading the journals, and one was written by a man named Richard Parker; that was my father's name. I think that man was my father. I think he injected his own DNA into the spiders so that only people sharing his DNA would be able to live if bitten by the them."

I decided Pete should just tell him, now the training can begin.
