Part 26

A few days had passed since the incident, Oliver was allowed to remove his oxygen mask and move around after lying in a bed for three days straight.

In that time, Oliver had read many books and watched a lot of movies in the bed.

Oliver had laid the couch with Peter and put on a tv show, Oliver had a soft spot for cartoons especially his favourites from Cartoon Network.

They had watched a full season of the show before getting up to make a snack.

He went into the kitchen and grabbed the ingredients he needed, he went to pick up his bowl and he accidentally dropped it.

The bowl fell to the ground with a large crash having glass scattered all over the floor, Oliver stared at his hand in awe and horror.

Oliver fell to the ground in fear as Peter quickly ran into the kitchen to see what that loud noise was, "Is everything okay, Oliver?"

Oliver raised his hand in fear, his hand appeared almost transparent and moving quickly away from his body. It almost looked like his hand was flickering, it was quickly moving before stopping to a halt and then continuing again.

"What the fuck?" Peter said coming up to Oliver with wide eyes, he went to reach out and touch Oliver's hand but Peter's hand went right through it.

"FRIDAY, where is Mr. Stark?" Peter asked the AI.

"He is in his laboratory, would you like him to have him come up to the kitchen." FRIDAY replied.

"Yes, please tell him that it is very urgent, as well as Mr Rogers."

"What is wrong with me?" Oliver asked worriedly while examining his hand, Peter grabbed a broom to clean up to broken glass.

"Honestly, I don't know but Steve and Tony are on their way, maybe they'll know," Peter replied throwing away the glass.

Tony rushed into the kitchen with a fearful expression on his face.

"Is everything okay, FRIDAY said it was urgent." Tony asked before Oliver showed him his transparent hand.

"What the hell?" Tony asked coming up to Oliver and trying to touch his hand.

Like Peter, Tony's hand went right through Oliver's.

"Tony, help." Oliver cried.

"What do I do?" he added.

"FRIDAY, check his vitals." Tony asked the AI.

"He appears fine, he's healing as fast as normal. The radiation may have affected him in a different way, he could be phasing." FRIDAY replied.

"What do you mean by phasing?" Peter asked nervously.

"It's hard to explain." Tony replied.

Tony helped Oliver off the ground and onto the couch in the living room, Peter with Oliver in the living room.

Since Peter couldn't hold the boy's hand, he held onto just above the wrist rubbing his thumb across it.

"Peter, I am scared," Oliver said resting his head on Peter's shoulder who rested his head on top of Oliver's.

"It's okay, I know because I am too," he replied quietly.

A couple of minutes earlier, Steve and Tony went into another room to talk.

"We need to bring him to Hank Pym." Cap replied.

"Him, really? He's probably not going to like me being around." Tony replied.

"Should I give Scott a call-"

"Who?" Tony interjected.

"Ant man! He and his daughter are here in New York vacation, so-" Steve was cut off by Tony yet again.

"Just call him." Tony sighed, "I don't really care."

"Hey, this is Scott! What can I do for you?"

"Hey Scott, it's Steve. We have a bit of a problem that we think Hank may be able to help with."

"Oh really? Well, he's still back in San Fransisco along with Hope so. How important is this?"

"Very, we can fly you and Cassie with us so don't worry about that."

"What is wrong, why do you need them?"

"Scott, its Oliver. Its like he is phasing. His hand is transparent and going crazy, we did a blood test on him and he might have been exposed to quantum radiation."

Scott audibly sighed, "Crap. I'll be at the base with Cassie in a couple hours."
"We will be waiting for you, just ask FRIDAY for entrance."

"Okay, see you later."

"Yep, bye. Thanks again."

Tony clicked his tongue, "So we are going to San Fransisco?" Tony asked with a huff.

"Yeah, I'll go tell Oliver to pack. Can you call May and ask if Peter can come with us?" Steve asked kindly.

"Sure, but why would Peter come with us?" Tony asked.

"What you do mean? Peter is Oliver best friend and he needs someone his age to be with him." Steve replied.

"He hurt my kid, I can't have that happening again."

"If Peter does come with us, you will be the one hurting Oliver. Plus Oliver is barely your son!" Steve replied walking out of the room and sat down beside the two boys on the couch.

"Hey, Ollie. We are going to San Fransisco to get you fixed up, okay?" Steve smiled placing a hand on Oliver's shoulder.

Oliver nods, "Can Peter come with us?" he asked quietly.

Steve nodded, "Tony is calling May now. When we are in San Fransisco, we are going to meet some of Scott's friends- Hope who is also the wasp." Steve paused to let out a small chuckle.

"She was kind of angry when Scott didn't ask her to fight in that battle between Tony and I. Also we will meet her dad, Hank, they are going to help you."

The boy sat down on Oliver's bed after packing Oliver's bag, he sighed resting his head in Peter's lap.

Peter began to play with Oliver's hair, he went to reach up and touch Peter's face but his hand went right through it.

Peter shivered, "Oh that felt weird."

He chuckled placing his other hand on Oliver wrist that was trying to touch Peter's face.

Steve and Tony knocked on the bedroom door where Oliver and Peter laid inside, Oliver quickly got off of Peter before yelling for the heroes to come into the room.

"Hey, so May says you can come with us on the condition of not being Spidey for the whole trip." Tony said entering the bedroom.

"Sure but what if I need to protect, Oliver?" Peter replied with a huff.

He held onto Oliver's wrist again, "Peter, its fine. I can protect myself and plus we've still got Captain America and Iron Man coming with us." Oliver replied smiling at his friend.

Peter sighed, "Fine. I just can't let you get hurt, again."

"Peter, go get packed. May says she is already packing your bag but you may want to swing over anyway, plus I need to talk to Oliver before we leave." Tony butted into the conversation.

"FRIDAY, open the window, please?" Peter asked the AI to open the window because after the incident with the break in- Steve had installed voice active windows only controlled by FRIDAY.

Peter quickly slung out of the newly opened window after kissing Oliver on the forehead.

"See you guys in 20 minutes!" Peter chuckled jumping out of the window.
