101 Ways to Almost Kill Spidey

A Blind Spider (part 1)

A/N: This is an AU where Peter decides to join the Avengers after all.

It had been about a week since Spidey had joined the Avengers. It was a tough call though. He just hoped he made the right decision by joining a team full of adult superheroes.
When Aunt May found out Peter Parker was Spider-Man, she freaked out. When he told her he was joining the Avengers, she freaked out even more. Being a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man was one thing, but joining the Avengers? That pretty much drew the line for Aunt May. She was going to ground Peter for weeks before Tony Stark stepped in and somehow, someway convinced Aunt May to let Peter do this. He promised Aunt May Peter would be in good hands, and that he would stay safe. Not to mention that Spidey had fast healing, so even if he did get injured, it would heal fairly quickly.
Peter had to admit, he was really surprised Aunt May let him go through with this, no matter how reluctantly. First of all, she wasn't a fan of Tony Stark, and second of all.. well just the whole hero business was dangerous. But Peter was really glad he was now here at the Avengers Headcourters.
It was so large that Peter got lost every 10 feet. Tony's AI was helpful though, pointing Peter in the right direction. He had actually only seen all of the Avengers gathered together once, and that was at his first team mission, about three days ago. That Asgardian.. Thor was even there. Most of the time he was in Asgard. Peter was impressed and intimidated by all of the adult heroes. They were so much more experienced than him.. Pete couldn't help but feel like the underdog here.. Which he guessed he was.
Anyway, the first week had both been frightening and exciting for Peter. Not to mention that he felt great after their first mission. But.. He did miss just being a more simple superhero.. He missed just being the friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man.. Going from that to being an Avenger was a huge change.. And Aunt May... Peter did miss Aunt May. It was strange not seeing her every day. Since Peter was working a San Avenger now, he only saw her on weekends.. And that was only if he didn't have a mission going on.
Peter was in his room in the building, watching tv, when he heard a knock at his door. Peter sighed and stood up, walking over to get it. He opened it. Tony Stark was standing in the doorway. He walked in without asking and sat down in a chair. "I never asked how your first week went. I guess I should ask that. So how was it, kid?" he asked.
Peter looked at the ground momentarily before looking back at Mr. Stark. "Oh.. My first week? Yeah it was great. All great," he said. Tony nodded. "That's great. Now come on down to the meeting room. We need to have a team meeting. Cap spotted a new villain that needs to be taken care of. So.. I would suit up if I were you," Stark said.
Peter nodded as Tony left. He suited up in the new suit Tony had made him. He left his room and took the elevator up to the meeting room where the rest of the Avengers were waiting. He walked in. He felt a little awkward being the last one to walk in. The rest of the Avengers stared at him. Tony winked at him, and Cap nodded at Peter. Peter sat down and got ready for the briefing Captain America was about to give.
As soon as he sat down, Cap began speaking. "We've heard rumors of a new villain going around New York. Just earlier this morning, we heard reports of her. She's said to have powers to.. well to control light. She's already blinded some civilians who were in her way, and could potentially kill. She needs to be stopped right away," Cap said. Everyone nodded slowly. Peter silently thought to himself about finding a good nickname for this villain. Naming villains was his thing, even if some of them were cheesy sounding. He laughed a little to himself, and the rest of the Avengers turned toward him. Peter's face turned slightly red. Captain America continued talking.
"So we need a battle plan-" Steve continued. Peter blocked out all the talking for a moment. Maybe it was immature of him, but he wasn't one for making a plan to fight a villain. He usually just faced them head on.. Then again that usually just got him into trouble., And he had to remind himself he was on a team now. Things would go a lot differently then when he was solo.
After the Avengers all agreed on the plan, they all set out in the Avengers' Quinjet to New York. The Quinjet moved fast. In about half an hour, they arrived and everyone got out. Tony located the villain they were looking for, and they tracked her, Spidey swinging along buildings.
"Pft. Someone who controls light? What kinda superpower is that? This will be a piece of cake!" he said to himself.
"Spider-Man. She's currently two blocks away from you. The rest of us are on our way. Don't do anything until I give my signal," Tony said through Spidey's earpiece.
"Sure thing Mr. Stark," Peter replied back. While he usually did anything Tony asked him too, it didn't mean he never had second thoughts about it. I mean, wait for a signal? But Ironman was an expert. What did Spidey know?
Peter was thinking to himself when he saw Light Lady around the corner of a building he was hiding behind. He watched as she entered a bank.
"Tony.. Hurry up.." he whispered to himself. If the other Avengers didn't get here soon.. Mistress Light could injure someone. He heard several screams come inside the bank. Spider-Man came out from behind the corner. Screw Cap and Tony's orders. Screw the plan. Some innocent people were going to get hurt if he just kept waiting for Tony's signal. Peter couldn't let people get hurt.. And if he couldn't go on the next mission for not following orders? Well he would deal with it. At least he would have a clear conscious about knowing he saved innocent people.
He ran inside the bank. A woman inside looked at Spider-Man with terror on her face. "An Avenger! Help us please!!" she said with hope in her voice. Spidey felt touched. She was one of the first to actually call him an Avenger. Putting that aside, he walked up to Doc Light. "Hey Lady Light. Turn around. I'm gonna kick your butt and make sure you never rob a bank again."
The villain turned around, an amused smile on her face. "Well, well, well. If it isn't the neighborhood bug I've heard about. Now tell me. Why did you come here if you knew you would lose?"
Spider-Man got his web shooters ready, holding out his arm. "First of all, I'm not a neighborhood Spider-Man anymore. I'm an Avenger. Second of all, I think you should ask yourself that question instead of asking me."
Just then, Hawkeye, Ironman, and Widow entered the bank. "What did I tell you about waiting for a signal?? This could jeopardize the plan!" Ironman said in a slightly angry tone. Spidey put his hands up, turning to Tony. "Hey I'm sorry, but innocent citizens were about to get hurt. I couldn't just-"
Tony interrupted him. "Kid!! Watch out!!"
But it was too late. Doc Ligh had hit him with a burst of light. It hit him in the face. It was powerful enough that it flipped him through the air, causing him to fly halfway across the room. Spider-Man fell to the ground, and blacked out.

"Do you think he's injured?"
"It doesn't look like it. Besides. He heals fast. A few scrapes and bruises won't bother him."
"Look, I think he's waking up."
"If the dumb kid would have just followed orders-"
"Shh!"
Peter woke up, hearing several voices. He recognized them as several of the Avengers. Wherever he was, it was dark. He rubbed his eyes then opened them. Wait.. that couldn't be right. Why couldn't he open his eyes? Everything was still dark.
"Uh kid? How are you feeling? That hit looked pretty hard." Someone he guessed was Tony asked.
"Ugh.. Everything hurts. I'll be fine though."
Spidey tried to sit up, his head throbbing a little. He rubbed his head. He kept trying to open his eyes.
"Are you okay? Why do you keep opening and closing your eyes?" A voice he assumed was Hawkeye's asked.
"What?" Peter asked, confused. "I'm not. I can't open my eyes at all. Everything's still dark.
"Dark?" Tony's voice said again. "But it's bright in here."
Peter shook his head. "I-I can't.. I can't see anything," he said in a worried tone.

"Guys.. I can't see.."
