Chapter 51: The rat that didn't drown

Warnings: Canon Typical Violence! Bit of Angst! Languange!

January for most people is the slowest month of the year. Yet for the Avengers it was a different situation. Many of you heading out on missions, and sending teams out to ones you couldn't cover.

You were walking towards the tactical room to prep for yet another upcoming mission when Tony intercepted you.

"Ah, Elsa just the person I wanted to see," Tony says turning on his heel to follow you.

"What is it Tony, I'm kinda busy at the moment," you say tapping away at the tablet you held.

"I have a potential new recruit" he explains making you stop and turn to look at him raising a brow.

"Really? Who?" You ask.

"I don't know what they call him but he's strong, web-slinger, spider kinda vibe" Tony explains passing you a smaller tablet which showed a video of a hero stopping a speeding car.

"Interesting, what's the name?" You say passing the tablet back and beginning to walk again.

"Peter Parker, he's from Queens, a student at midtown high," Tony says making you stop and face him again.

"Wait what? How old is this guy?" You ask holding your hand out to make him pause.

"15," Tony says making you instantly roll your eyes.

"Tony he's a kid! We can't recruit him!" You exclaim.

"He's already out there working though" Tony points out.

"As a friendly neighbour spiderman! He's not dealing with terrorists and international arms dealers like we are" you argue shaking your head at him.

"What about just training?" Tony offers.

"No, he's safer away from this, when he's older we can consider recruiting him but not now," you tell him firmly.

"If something happened to him it would be on our hands and I can't have that, as much as it would be handy to have some extra hands you know this is a bad idea deep down" you sigh.

"Yeah you're right, just wanted to float the idea by you" Tony sighs nodding his head.

"But keep monitoring him through, he might attract unwanted attention and if we can prevent that behind the scenes then let's do it" you suggest.

"Got it," Tony says saluting you "good luck on the mission"

"Thanks, stay outta trouble" you warn him playfully as you head back off.

"Sorry I'm late Stark ambushed me," you say as you join the team in the tactical room.

"What did he want?" Steve asks raising a brow.

"It was nothing, I'll explain later," you say waving it off "so what's the situation?"

"Standard terrorist cell, the word is however they've constructed bombs and other forms of weaponised tech" Nat explains pulling up the hologram of the base.

"Well, at least they had the decency to build their base away from everyone else" you mutter as you look down at the map.

"Means it's more likely to be heavily guarded though" Steve points out.

"Thus more headaches for us" Nat adds.

"So what's the plan?" Sam asks crossing his arms over his chest.

"Since we have the luxury of space we're gonna draw them out, we're gonna launch our main attack on this watch tower here. Rhodey, Vision and Sam attack them at all angles" Steve explains pointing at the hologram.
