Peter POV

As we fly high over the clouds to Berlin, I can't stop thinking about Shadow. She really thinks that low of me. I've lost Ellie, and her. Can this day get any worse?

"Kid are you okay? You look depressed". I look up and see Happy Hogan, a guy from Tony Stark's security.

"I'm fine" I mutter. Happy shrugs and walks back to his seat.

"Happy, why exactly am I going to Berlin?" I ask him.

"You'll find out when you get there" he says bluntly. He lies back in his chair and closes his eyes. Charming.

I gaze around the private jet. This is all quite surreal! This is my first time ever on a plane, never mind a private one. I wonder what Tony wants me to do. Will I be able to meet the Avengers?! That would be so cool!

All this excitement lifts my mood a little, which is what I need. I don't need any negative thoughts distracting me, especially if it means I get to show off a little to Tony.

We still have two hours to go, so I gaze out of the window and think about what I'm gonna do once I arrive.

Ellie POV

"So, you're originally from Hydra?!" I ask Wanda. She rolls her eyes and turns around in the passenger seat.

"So what if I am? I'm not like that anymore".

"Hm. So why are you all going against Stark anyway? What's all these accords about?" I say.

Clint is driving me, Wanda and this other guy called Scott, who is currently asleep in the back beside me, to meet Steve and the others at the airport. We still have a while to go, so I'm trying to get as much information as I can while they can't dodge the questions.

"The accords stop us from being a private organization, and let's the government control us basically" Clint says, keeping his eyes on the road.

"And who wants to sign them? Like, other than Tony?" I say.

"Well there's James, Natasha, Vision and King T'Challa of Wakanda and that's all I know, but I'm sure they'll have some backup" Clint replies.

That's when my throat tightens and my heart stops. Spider-Man. I completely forgot he's with Stark. I'm going against him. Now, whether I choose to tell them or not is another thing.

Telling them would help us make a better plan, but it would also mean he'd be targeted. Well, maybe there's a way to avoid him getting killed.

"I know someone else they'll have" I say quietly. Clint immediately looks interested.

"Who?". Out of the corner of my eye, I see Wanda getting ready to zap me so she can control my mind.

"Calm down Wanda. That won't be necessary" I smirk. She sighs and the red mist disappears from her fingertips.

"He's called Spider-Man. He's quick, agile and skillful. He's one to watch, but I know how he works, so it's best you leave him to me. That way you can focus on Stark and the others" I explain.

This way is best, cos it means I can kick the shit out of him, but I'll know when to stop, whereas the others won't, and he might get badly hurt that way, so it's best I deal with him.

Clint nods and continues driving. I stare at the guy next to me. He does not look like the person I would recruit to take down Stark and his posse. "Where the hell did you get this guy?" I exclaim. Clint sighs.
