Part 22

After Chinese food for dinner, Steve called Peter to ask him to bring Oliver home.

"You two- primarily Oliver -will get into the building after hacking into the system saying they won a tour of the building."

"While you are being shown around the building you need to seek out any possible entrances to allow us into the building along with any others that help out. Once inside the building, we will hack into the system for you two to get away and so Peter change quickly into his suit. "

"While Peter is changing, Oliver, you need to steal a key card off anybody who works in BBE-100 inc. After you get the keycard, you guys will get down to the bottom floor in the elevator where the watches are being made along with Vance Thornton."

"He's the guy who stole Oliver's watch and is the head of the operation. After we have taken out all the of Vance's goons, we will join the battle and take down Vance." Tony said giving the two boys the battle plan that will happen the next day.

"Cool! I should probably head out now, see you tomorrow!" Peter smiled hugging his friend before throwing on his mask and jumping out of the window to swing his way home in the dark.

"Thank you for finally letting me fight, Steve!" Oliver chuckled turning attention back to his parental-figures.

Nobody really knew what Steve was to Oliver, he basically acted like a father to Oliver but he didn't really care what he was to the boy, as long as he was in Oliver life was all he cared about.

"Just be smart about this, Ollie. You know how to find, just don't overestimate yourself. Work with Peter-"

"Steve! I've got this. I promise I won't let you down." Oliver said cutting off his rant about safety in battle.

"You forget I've had to defend myself here before. Remember when we had that attack and somebody- Just, I know what I am doing, trust me."

After a few hours and everyone had gone to sleep, Oliver laid in his bed struggling to fall asleep because of his fear of having more nightmares.

"FRIDAY, I can't sleep. What do I do?" Oliver asked checking the time, it was about 12 am.

"I suggest you work out on the training room, according to Mr. Rogers it helps." FRIDAY replied, "He and Mr. Barnes appear to be in the training room anyway." Friday added.

"Okay thanks, FRI."

Oliver quickly opened his bedroom door and snuck into the elevator, clicked the button on the panel and the elevator went down a few floors to the training floor.

Oliver wandered into the training room to find Steve and Bucky punching some punching bags, "Hey guys, can't sleep either?" Oliver asked wrapping his fists.

"Oh, hey Oliver." Bucky smiled, "Wait! What time is it?" he asked thinking it was the next day.

"Its about 12 am." Oliver chuckled, "Why are you up at 12 am?" Bucky asked helping Oliver drag a punching bag over to where the others were hung from.

"I couldn't sleep, I had a nap at Peter's, turned into a nightmare so, you know. I don't want another one and here I am punching this bag." Oliver replied starting out slowly at the punching bag.

"Are you okay, Ollie?" Steve asked with a caring voice placing a hand on the boy's shoulder while he continued to punch at the sand-filled bag.

"Yes, I'm fine just a little angry from everything that has happened earlier. Dad, this is basically all my-"

The boy continued to punch the bag getting more and more angrier with each punch, "Oliver, none of this is your fault, buddy-" Steve said before getting cut off by Oliver.

"Dad, what do you mean? What did I do? Oh, right! I made the watches, I designed the bombs, I caused Peter to freak out and get hurt, I caused you guys to get hurt, I- I- I caused three fucking bombs to go off in one of my best friend's workplace. How is this not my fault?" Oliver asked falling to the ground in just overwhelming emotion.

"I- I- I. I am sorry."

"I am sorry for being this wreck, I know you and Buck just wanted to work together like you do every other night but I couldn't pretend to sleep all night." Steve sighed kneeling down to hug the broken boy.

"What was your nightmare about?" Steve asked trying to distract the boy in some way. "I don't know."

"Was it the 99th?" Oliver didn't reply but just sighed.

"I'm scared this will happen again and someone is going to get hurt as you did in the-" Oliver stopped himself. "In the dream?"

Oliver nodded placing his hands over his face, "Oliver, that isn't going to happen." Steve sat down beside his kid.

"That is why we are doing this mission tomorrow, right, kid?" Bucky chimed in also sitting down beside Oliver.

"I guess you are right but how the heck am I going to take down a company?"

"You aren't doing this alone, Oliver. Peter will be there by your side the whole time, Tony, Bucky and I will there too." Steve replied.

"But how am I going to do this?" Oliver asked emphasizing on his how.

"Can you hack into a company's database?" Bucky asked, "Yes, of course, I can! Who do you think I am?"

"There you go! Your first step, done! You can easily seek out possible entrances with an Uncle like Clint. You know how to fight people, you've got this, Oliver." Buky smiled trying to help the boy, the best he could.

"How do you feel about sparring?" Bucky asked patting the boy on the back getting onto the sparring mat.

"I feel good enough to beat you."

"Let's see about that kid." Bucky chuckled in his stance throwing the first hit which Oliver quickly blocked.

Oliver stood there waiting for another hit from Bucky, after a few seconds Bucky threw a punch with his metallic arm. Oliver caught the punch before flipping the man over onto his back.

Oliver jokingly place a foot on Bucky's stomach, "Jesus, kid! That was fast. At I know to not get on your bad side!" Bucky chuckled.

This continued on for a couple more turns as more Avengers had joined trying to beat Oliver as it got closer to the morning.

"I'm tired and my wrists hurt, Natasha, take my spot." Oliver chuckled tapping out and leaned up against the wall with Steve.

"You're pretty good, pal! You are going to do great in the mission. You should probably head upstairs to get a few hours of sleep. Peter will be here at noon to get ready for the mission." Steve smiled walking out of the training room with Oliver and into the elevator to go to bed.
