The Apple Of Their Eye(Avengers x Villain Reader)

The Heist

While you were safely at home, having your dinner that your mother made for you, some pasta along with a glass of orange juice, your parents were about to carry out their very first bank heist ever since you moved here which would end up in them being the Avenger's targets sooner rather than later 

"Is the coast clear?" your mother asked your father as your parents already made their way into the bank and your father replied "Hang on, just let me make sure'' and he scanned the area. It was all good, there wasn't anyone else in the building other than them and they've even managed to deactivate the security systems and CCTV cameras as well. Or so they thought till Spiderman and your friend Vanessa showed up at the scene 

Your parents found the vault in which the jewels were stored and they had a predatory gaze in their eyes, just like how a lion would have in it's eyes when it spots its prey. Unfortunately as they broke into the vault, they triggered the alarms and both of them cursed under their breaths. "I thought we deactivated the alarms, why the bloody hell is this ringing then?" your father cursed under his breath but your mother replied "We don't have time to worry about that, we need to get the hell out of here before someone sees us'' your mother hisses and as she was about to turn, someone shot her with webs as she fell onto floor and looked up in surprise 

"Too late for that you.... you Phantom!" and your mother looked surprised as your dad tried not to snicker under his mask. "Phantom? Really Spiderkid, that's the nickname you're giving me?" your mother shook her head and he spoke "Well you do have a white mask and a purple cloak.... so yeah? As for the dude with a black cloak, and a black mask... since he's holding a scythe, he's the Grim Reaper'' he spoke excitedly and your dad spoke "You know for a hero or whatever, you sure do talk a lot, less talk more fight'' 

Just then Vanessa came from the back and almost ended up kicking your dad but he was alert, he grabbed her leg and tossed her aside and smirked. It was going to be an easy fight. "Look kids, we don't have time for this, run along and play with your toys all right'' your dad spoke and as he was about to escape with your mother, Peter wrapped them both up in his spiderwebs and Vanessa grabbed the bag from your parents. Your mother gritted her teeth and she looked at your dad indicating that they needed to get out of here before things could really get bad 

Your dad freed himself with his scythe which made Peter surprised. He was so sure that his webs would be able to hold them both captive, yet somehow the man in front of him managed to wiggle free from his webs and cut himself, and the woman next to him free as the both of them climbed up towards the skylight and tried to get out of the bank after your mother snatched the bag of jewels from Vanessa. "Oh gods... they're getting away'' Peter muttered under his breath and Vanessa glared at him and replied "Yeah, thanks for that info captain obvious'' and the both of them followed your parents, Spiderman swinging from building to building and your friend Vanessa running in the streets as fast as the wind, to find the thieves and catch them 

Your mother looked behind her shoulder and cursed under her breath and muttered "That kid doesn't know when to give up does he?" and your father chuckled and replied "Don't worry, I have a plan'' and he pulled something out from his pockets. It was one of his gadgets he'd worked on when he'd first started supplying weapons for HYDRA. "Oh yeah, I forgot about that'' your mother told him as he dropped the powder on the ground and everything instantly became a blur for Peter as he wad following them. Your mother then shook her head and muttered ''Of all the names we could get called as, we get called Phantom and the Grim Reaper'' and as your dad chided and told her it wasn't the time for worrying about names, they had to get the heck out of there

As for Peter, he suddenly felt dizzy and light headed, and he couldn't even see the city lights anymore, everything was fading for him... everything was starting to go black for him but he tried to overcome and bear it 

He coughed a few times, clearly his suit wasn't enough for whatever smoke or powder the villains used and as the smoke cleared, they were gone, they'd vanished into thin air. Peter got frustrated as he tried looking for them but... they've managed to escape with the bag of jewels. Peter came down on the ground, feeling worried, disappointed with himself for not being able to catch something so simple as a robber and he was also feeling frustrated. "Peter, did you get them?" Vanessa asked him as he looked at her and pulled his mask off

"What do you think?" he asked her frowning and she looked sympathetic. "Don't worry, we'll catch them next time'' "If there even is a next time, I just let them get away, I wasn't able to stop them, gods... what am I going to tell Mr. Stark? I won't be surprised if he sends out his Iron Legion after me'' and put his face to his hands and groaned. Vanessa replied "We'll track them down don't worry, me and the rest of the agents at SHIELD will get them don't worry'' she spoke in a comforting voice as Peter and Vanessa went back to their respective homes for the night 

Peter flopped himself on his bed as he stared at the ceiling, his jaw tightening and the scene where the villains escaped kept replaying in his mind. It was like someone was rubbing salt on a wound for him, he felt like a failure, not being able to catch petty thieves. 'I'll get them one day' he thought to himself as he fell asleep and at the same time worrying about the consequences of what he was going to tell Mr. Stark and the rest of the Avengers about this....
