Double Life (ON PAUSE)

{Chapter 6}

3rd Person POV:

For the week following the first night of watching the unmarked building, the avengers took turns doing shifts to keep an eye out while the others kept their eyes on Peter. The group of heroes always ate on the move and hardly got to sleep during the time of their investigation. The only information they had gained during that week was that the building was owned by someone by the name of Daniel Simmons and that the people we they saw walk in and out the most were college students that were getting paid minimum wage from Daniel. Other than it was no other important information. The avengers decided to take time away from the stakeout and go back to the drawing board to make a choice on what to do next.

The next week was filled with the avengers always whispering to each other and keeping secretes from Peter. The only time the adults would talk to Peter was when they would offer to take him to Ned's which he always said no to and said he liked to walk. The entire week was mostly silent other than those two sentences between the avengers and Peter. The adults weren't following the teenager around anymore and were instead in the meeting room almost all day everyday coming up with plans for ways to find out what was going on with their little spider.

It was Thursday afternoon, an hour before Peter was due to be back, when the team decided the best plan of action was to send in Clint and Natasha. The two spies would enter through the air duct from the roof and look through every opening until they find where Peter was and what he was doing. The plan would be put into action early the next morning. That night they all had dinner together like they use to and actually talked to each other like nothing over the past week and a half had happened. Everyone enjoyed the dinner but only the adults knew this might be the last time they had their innocent little Peter Parker would be with them because tomorrow morning would send a major change through their super family and there is a chance that the change will not be good but could tear them apart.

The avengers were gone before Peter even woke up and were outside of the unmarked building with Clint and Natasha in the air duct as Peter walked in. Clint and Natasha were watching Peter from the vent. They watched as he said good morning to the reception, watching as he walked down the hallway, and walked as he walked into a red painted room that had seven people standing and sitting around the room talking. The two spies saw Peter greet everyone before sitting on a black leather couch to pull a notebook out of his bookbag.

Peter and two other boys went over what note to sing on for a song before Peter got into a booth and put a set of headphones on his head. Music started to play and after a moment Peter started to sing. "Are you guys seeing this?" Clint asked through the com in his ear. Clint asked that because has a camera connected to his vest that connected to the van that was sat across the street so the rest of the team could see what was going on. All occupants of the van were in sock seeing Peter. No one knew that Peter could even sing and here he is in a professional studio singing to be recorded.

For the next hour Clint and Natasha laid in the vent watching Peter sing and get in and out of the booth. He looked happy here, happier than he looked most days at the tower. He was laughing with the guys around him and swapping jokes at each other's expense, basically being a normal kid his age. After the hour was up, the two spies climbed out of the vent back onto the roof. They went down the ladder at the back of the building and made their way to the van so the super hero group drove back to the tower. Only one sentence was said during the drive and it was from Natasha, "Out of everything we thought it could be, this was not it."
