Breaking Chains, Rising Vigilante

Chapter 18: Old friends silently sharing the same fears

It's been two weeks and Fridays aren't getting any better. Peter would stay for around a little more than an hour for decathlon before having to leave to head to the tower late. Fury talked with the Avengers but just told them to be nicer and accepting. He sounded like a teacher scolding trouble making kids, Peter watched through the security cameras Eve hacked.

Melvin finished his suit so he has Droney with him at all times. It's like the same design just a bit different to fit Droney on his chest. He obviously kept the iconic red and blue colors so not much else changed.

It's a Sunday and Peter is hanging out with Mj and Ned. They're walking around the city aimlessly and occasionally stop at stores.

They're currently sitting down at a bakery, having a snack. They had lunch earlier and it's not even close to dinner time. The bakery had many different options and the food was spectacular.

The trio all laughs at a video Ned showed them when Peters burner phone starts to vibrate. He takes it out with an eye roll and answers it.

"What?" Peter asks.

"There's a mission and Fury is only sending a few people, one of them including you. We need you here at the tower" Tony explains.

"Great" Peter groans. "If it's only a few people, why me?"

"I don't know. He said it has to do with a guy you helped him with awhile ago. You get a debrief on the jet" Tony explains.

"Colin Parce?" Peter perks up.

"Something like that. Just get on over here kid" Tony replies before hanging up.

"Keep us updated?" Ned wonders.

"Of course, I'll see you guys later!" Peter assures and leaves the bakery.

Tony, Bucky, Steve, Clint, Nat, and Peter are on the Quinjet. Fury's excuse is that he needs stealthy people for this mission and Tony isn't invited. He invited himself anyways and promised he's only there for backup.

"So where are we going?" Peter asks.

"What do you know about Colin Parce?" Clint questions.

"I helped Fury arrest him, he stole Shield files and is a Hydra agent" Peter explains.

"He broke out of jail and he's in hiding. Fury located him and so, he's sending us. He's in Switzerland" Nat explains keeping it simple.

"That's a weird place to hide out in" Peter hums in thought. His parents Hydra base was in Switzerland. His mission was in New Jersey though so when the plane crashed, he hitched a ride to the city. "Is he hiding out in a Hydra base?"

"Yes" Bucky answers. Peter turns to look at Bucky who has a sad expression on his face. Peter doesn't know why though and doesn't ask. He knows Bucky has a history with Hydra so maybe that's why? "Lugano, Switzerland."

Peter feels his breath hitch. That's exactly where his base was located. It was in underground bunker underneath a hidden latch at an Italian restaurant Hydra owns.

"You ok?" Tony asks, snapping Peter to the present.

"Y-yeah" Peter stutters, cursing himself out as he does so.

"What do you know about the base?" Steve asks, realizing Peters knows something.

"Nothing" Peter lies.

"Steve, we got all the information from Fury. He won't know anything" Bucky steps in.

"No Steve's right, he knows something" Nat sides with.
