Part 20

"Okay well, those bombs were actually three watches that Oliver had invented which have small bombs hidden in them." Steve pulled one out of his pocket in a detective baggie.

"They blueprints from the watch was stolen while we were on a three-week mission, along with the prototype and a blueprint for door-knob explosives that were made for some of his detective friends."

"Oh wow! How is he dealing with it?" Scott asked, "It's really hard on him, there was this long chain of events up until now that he believes are all his fault." Steve replied.

"This must be really hard on you, man. How does his Dad feel about all this?"

"Tony is currently in the lab trying to track down where the distributor is," Steve replied quickly checking his phone to see the time or for any text messages.

Tony Stark
Hey, Steve... we found the distributor and its part of Hydra

Steven Rogers
Really? Where is it?

Tony Stark
I am pretty sure that it is in Queens

Steven Rogers
Like where that spider-kid is from?

Tony Stark
Yes, we will talk more about this when you get back to the tower.

"Who was that?" Scott asked as Steve put his phone back in his pocket, "Just Tony, he was telling me found the distributors base in Queens." Steve replied with a sigh putting his head in his hands on top of the table.

"I think that is enough work for today, Cap. We should go check on the kids," Scott chuckled looking at the time.

"They have been at the park half an hour now and Cassie probably is going to worry if we are any longer," Scott added.

"Hey, how come you and Cassie are in New York?"

The two heroes talked about Scott and Cassie's vacation and walked to the park to find Oliver pushing Cassie on one of the swings, Cassie was giggling loudly with each push.
Steve smiled because he hadn't seen Oliver this happy in a while.
Steve quickly took a picture of the two kids and put it in a folder on his phone under memories.

Cassie quickly jumped off the swing when she saw her dad, Scott. Oliver quickly running behind Cassie try to not hurt himself with his binder, when he caught up with the girl he chuckled and coughed out of breath.

Steve looked at Oliver with worried eyes knowing that the binder was hard on the boy, "I'm fine, Steve." he chuckled taking a water bottle out of his backpack.

"Oliver, you have to be more careful, pal," Steve replied placing his hand on Oliver's shoulder.

Steve pulled Oliver aside, "How long have you been wearing the binder for?" Steve asked worriedly.

"It's been 7 hours." Oliver replies quietly, "There is a gender-neutral washroom over there, go take it off because I know you are tired and going to try and sleep on the back." Steve replied handing the boy the hoodie tied around his waist.

Oliver quickly walked over to the washroom and struggled to take off his hell-trap of a binder before sliding Steve's hoodie on to somewhat hide his chest.

Oliver and Steve hugged their friends' goodbye before driving back to the Avengers base. During the drive, the two feel a bump on top of the roof of the car. Steve pulled to the side of the road with a chuckle to see what was on the roof.

They got out of the car to see Peter his Spider-man suit on top of the roof of the car, "What are you doing, Peter?" Oliver blushes.

"I didn't feel like swing over to the base alone and I saw Steve's car, so I thought I grab a ride." he chuckled blushing under his mask as well.

Steve looked down at his phone which was ringing, he quickly picked up the phone. Steve seemed a little worried, "Hey Peter, this may be a dumb question a but can you swing Oliver to your house and stay there with him for a couple hours."

Peter nodded in reply, "Steve, is everything okay?" Oliver asked giving him a quick hug.

"Yeah everything is okay just minor break-in, again." he sighed as he hopped back in the car and drove off waving at the two kids.

"You ready to go?" Peter asked fixing his mask, Oliver nodded before Oliver picked him up and they started to swing towards Peter's apartment.

"So how's your day been?" Oliver chuckled holding onto Peter tightly.

"Mine's been busy, there were some bombs at the precinct that went off which were really scary but other than that it's been good." Oliver paused.

"Steve and I went out for ice cream and met up with Ant-man and his daughter, Cassie." Oliver replied placing his head against Peter's shoulder with a sigh with his cut cheek facing up.

"Oh, that is cool! Wait! You were in a building where there were detonating bombs?" Peter asked becoming worried, "Is that why you have a giant gash on your cheek?" he asked lightly rubbing his thumb against Oliver's cheek.

Oliver nodded slowly, "Are you okay both mentally and physically?" he asked quietly just loud enough for Oliver to hear.

"I'm fine, Peter. I will explain more when we get back on the ground, okay?" Oliver asked, "Yeah, whenever you feel really just tell me."

The two swung through the city towards Peter's apartment, they didn't speak much after that. The silence between the two boys wasn't weird or awkward at all, it was really comfortable.

Oliver was amazed by how high Peter had gotten, looking down on the city was so cool to him. Oliver was usually the one on the ground looking up at the hero in the sky but today that was different, he saw many people turn their head seeing Spider-man and boy swing through the streets of New York.

"Does May know?" Oliver asked when they had gotten closer to Peter's apartment, "No," Peter landed in an alleyway around the corner from the apartment building.

"Let me get changed," Peter added cutting the backpack covered in webs from off the wall before grabbing his normal clothes.

"Oh okay." Oliver blushed as he watched Peter throw off his mask and slip out of his suit.

He pressed a button on his chest to make the suit expand and fall off of his body, "Wow, how did that work?" Oliver grabbed Peter's suit after he took it off and began examining the Stark-made suit.

Oliver folded it up before handing it to Peter who was struggling to get on his t-shirt, "Peter, how do mess up putting on a t-shirt?" Oliver chuckled coming to aid of his friend.

Oliver walked up to the boy and helped him put on his t-shirt as if he was a four-year-old. The boys came face to face after Peter finally got his t-shirt.

Both boys began to blush after realizing how close they were stood, "Thanks." Peter said quietly with a smile.

Peter placed a hand on Oliver's cut cheek, Oliver lightly wrapped his arms around Peter's torso.

Peter quickly leaned in and placed his lips on Oliver, a few seconds later- Oliver started to kiss back.

Peter could feel Oliver begin to smile into the kiss when they pulled away, both boys' faces were tinted pink and had small smiles across their face.

"We should probably get inside." Oliver chuckled grabbing Peter's hand along with his backpack and running towards the apartment.
