CHAPTER THREE
Luke Said Calmly

Luke was in position, he was invisible and he was slightly pissed off. He narrowed his eyes at the ground, noticing a red and orange shape spiraling upwards, wrapping around a statue.

"The package has arrived. I repeat the package has arrived." Luke said through the earpiece.

"Yep, he's here! Beck, are you ready? You know what to do." Peter agreed frantically.

"On your lead, Spider-Man."

The all-black suit (as in black cargo pants and a black zipped-up jacket) was not very breathable somehow.

"You're up, kid." Quentin told Peter.

Luke stuck to the plan, going back and forth as invisible and visible to confuse the elemental, but something was odd about the being. When he went too close, there was a small gap, barely noticeable, but noticeable enough for a trained spy. The Fire Elemental punched the building Peter was hanging off of, sending Peter flying to crouch on the top of the carousel.

"No, Beck! He's got the carousel! He's getting bigger!" Peter exclaimed. Luke went to make a dirty-minded comment, but Peter stopped him.

Luke had zoned out completely, and definitely not in a good enough way. He leaned against the wall, flickering between visible and invisible as he started to remember.

Fire spread across Sokovia. Bullets in Pietro's unconscious body. The blood on his own hands. Air getting thinner—

"Romanoff!" He heard, but it was muffled.

He hid behind one of the walls, trying to catch his breath.

"Romanoff!" Fury said, walking towards him. Then he heard Maria stop Fury, going towards him instead while he went to Peter and Quentin.

"Hey, kid. Listen, breathe, okay? Sit down." Maria said, helping him sit down on the cold ground.

"I should have—"

"It's okay, Luke."

"Mom would have stayed focused." Luke whispered. "I couldn't even do this. I'm weak." Luke sniffed.

Maria's expression changed. "Hey, you are not weak. You went through a lot of bad shit. If you hadn't distracted the elemental at the start and alerted us that quickly, we could have all been dead."

Luke looked up at her, not believing her as he pushed himself up off the ground. He walked back to the group.

"So it's over?" Maria asked.

"That was the last of them." Quentin replied.

"But not the last threat we'll ever face. We need to stay vigilant. There's a void in this world for someone like you. Hill and I are going to Europol headquarters in Berlin tomorrow. You should join us." Fury offered to Quentin, who stood up, shaking Fury's hand.

"Thank you. I just might take you up on that."

Fury walked over to Peter and Luke. "You got gifts, Parker, but you didn't wanna be here."
