Spider-Man And The Nightmare Warrior

Chapter 8: Consequences Of A Mother

Serena looked away from Colton after the sudden interruption and brief interaction with miles and Gwen before she gazed back out at the New York skyline brushing her hair out of her face. Colton muttered "pendejo." Before he turned back towards Serena with a playful smirk drowning himself in her intoxicating beauty. "Now where were we..." Colton trailed off cupping her Cheek and getting lost in her sea green eyes noticing how her irises shifted from green to blue. He leaned forward towards her inviting her close his lips hovered just out of reach of her own almost as if he was asking permission to kiss her.

However Colton was thoroughly surprised even if it was a pleasant one to notice that Serena latched onto him kissing him first her body pressed against his and her hands ran through Colton's hair before the two parted for breath.

Colton looked at her with a big dopey smile one which she returned. Serena was the first to break the silence "took you long enough." She playfully teased and Colton chuckled "wow that's how it is and to think I was trying to be a gentleman." He jested in return.

Rio and Jefferson both appeared in the doorway Jefferson clearing his throat audibly. Rio spoke up her usual kind voice having noticeable tired edge. "Serena, there is a Sara Valentine here asking for you. She claims to be your guardian honey, I'll walk you out okay sweetie."

Serena nodded in understanding and gave Colton's hands a gentle comforting squeeze and one last smile before darting off to follow Rio out of the apartment.

Jefferson walked up approaching his son. "Well Colton I can see that went pretty well." Jefferson teased his son clapping him on the back. Colton's blushed in embarrassment "I'm sorry pops..I.I." He sputtered out seemingly speechless which was an unusual and rare occurrence.

"It's okay son just remember, no means no." Jefferson stated firmly. Colton node seriously "No yeah, I understand that pops." Jefferson gave a grateful smile in return before telling Colton. "Okay, start getting ready for bed you have a study session with miss baker. She will be picking you up around 4 am after she gets Cas." Jefferson and internally Colton groaned. With a roll of his eyes Colton agreed and went to go take a shower and wind Down for bed. Laying in his dark bedroom Colton couldn't make himself a thundering heartbeat quiet down even as he drifted into blissful sleep.

Colton's darting eyes were concealed by his tinted sunglasses as his scanned his surroundings and canvased the neighborhood for threats. Always be alert never let your guard. The habits instilled by hydra were heavily ingrained in his skull and the instructor duke Jackson voice rang in his head.

He was pulled out of his threat analysis assessment as a gruff voice called his name. Colton then turned his attention to his handler and mentor Brock Rumlow "Kid you gotta learn when to relax. What we do is dangerous this life with consume if you're always switched on." Rumlow handed Colton something he didn't recognize. It was a yellow and cone snapped with a glob of dark colored gelly of so he thought.

Brock offered it to Colton with a small smile and Colton hesitantly took it from him as Brock had one of his own and proceeded to lick his. Colton eyed it as if trying to determine if this was some sort of unorthodox test and he looked up at Brock skeptically "what is it exactly." Brock laughed loud and boisterous. "It's ice cream. It's great go on and try it kid." His handler encouraged him and Colton "it's not kid it's Colton." He grumbled in a low muttered before relenting licking the ice cream just like agent Rumlow had and his eyes lit up.

"Agent Doherty, Fury has an assignment for you," Maria Hill knocked on Evan's S.H.I.E.L.D. office door getting the man's attention from his paperwork. "What's going on Maria? Can it wait?"

"Nope, we're assigning you to one of our latest recruits." Maria walked into the office with a file in hand. She opened it before dropping it onto the table in front of him. Evan looked down seeing the name and picture.
