Parker Luck

Good Vibrations

Peter Parker stared in amazement as a hole emerged in the ocean. The Helicarrier's engines slowed as the colossal machine was gently lowered into the portal. At the bottom of the hole was a vast hanger housing a handful of Quinjets and a much larger futuristic looking plane. A figure was vaguely visible standing in the hanger.

When they landed Maria was the first out to greet the figure waiting for them. The figure in question turned out to be a powerfully built black man with a shaven head and a beard. Peter couldn't help but feel intimidated as he approached. The feeling was quickly dismissed when a broad grin spread across the man's face. "Hey kid, welcome on board. Name's Mack." A friendly hand was extended which Peter took. "Quite the grip you've got, Peter." commented Mack after the teen had introduced himself. The man then turned to Maria "Good seeing you again Maria. We'll take it from here."

"Alright buddy, come on I'll introduce you to the team." the big man said once the Helicarrier departed. The two set off deeper into the facility. Although it was dark and not particularly high tech Peter noted it had a distinct lived in feel.

The first place they stopped was a laboratory where two agents not much older than Peter were deep in discussion. "A modification to the shape of the barrel and grip will make the I.C.E.R pistols smoother to fire with less recoil." A Scotsman was telling his lab partner. The young Englishwoman clearly didn't agree "It's not always the technical aspects that need modifying. An altered dose of Dendrotoxin would improve them just as much." she retorted. Before they could continue Mack cleared his throat to get their attention. "Peter this Is Leo Fitz and Jemma Fitz-Simmons. Fitz. Simmons, this is Peter Parker he's gonna be staying with us for a while." The duo looked confused "Bit young for a S.H.I.E.L.D agent isn't he?" the Scot asked.

"You're hardly one to talk Turbo." Mack told him "Besides he's not an agent, he's an Avenger here for training." Peter could see the two were sceptical "It's true, I'm Spider-Man." he told them. Surprised looks crossed the duo's faces "Spider-Man? really?" Simmons asked. When Parker nodded the two were bursting with questions "Where'd you get your web-shooters from?", "Can I get a sample of your blood?", "What firing mechanism do they use?", "Is it really radioactive?"

Mack saw the teen was clearly overwhelmed and waved the scientists off "Easy guys they'll be time for questions later. He's gonna meet the rest of the team first." Peter gave a longing look at the lab as they left.

Their next stop was to a small room where an Asian woman was performing Tai chi, her slow deliberate movements indicating she was well trained. "This is Melinda May, she's next in charge around here and our pilot." May barely glanced at them "Hello." was all she said. "She's like that don't worry." Mack told the teen. A younger woman with short hair and a leather jacket was introduced as Piper Vasquez and a man about the same age with spiky brown hair as Deke Shaw.

The two entered what was clearly a gym and training room. "You're not the only one here with powers. Peter meet Elena Rodriguez and Daisy Johnson. Also know as Yo-Yo and-"

"Quake!" finished Peter "Oh my god it's so cool to meet you. I followed you. On the news I mean." he babbled with a blush. "And you've got robot arms that's cool too." he said, turning to the other woman. "Gracias Peter." The Colombian said "Mackenzie." she addressed the team leader coolly before walking off. Peter watched her go, confused he asked "What was that about." Mack sighed "We used to be together but I broke it off after I took charge, I thought it'd complicate things." he explained guiltily. "Anyway", he continued, "I'll leave you to get to know each other. Daisy will be giving you combat training later."
