Spiders and Ants can be Family

Chapter 8

"Hello, Recluse." Someone said from behind Recluse.
Recluse stood up and turned around.
"That's my name. What do you want?" Recluse questions.
"I am Doc Ock. I wish for you to come to join me on taking down the Avengers." Doc Ock smirks.
"Uhh, no thanks. I have better things to do." Recluse answers.
"I'm sorry. I forgot to say you don't have a choice."
"Well, my answer is still no." Recluse says before walking away.
A metal arm wrapped around Recluse's waist and picked him up.
"Too bad. I was hoping I didn't need to do that." Ock shakes his head.
Recluse clicked the shrink button and began to falling off the arm.
"Where did you go you little pest!" Ock shouts looking around.
"I already told you. I'm not gonna help you take down the Avengers." Recluse jumped and punched Ock square in the face. Ock landed on the ground with a thud before his arms picked him back up. Ock was now turning red with anger.
What he didn't notice was that Recluse had shrunk even smaller and now running around his arm pack(is that what it's called? I forgot.)  Recluse began destroying the inside.
"Ahh! What are you doing you little bug!" Ock shouted shanking his back.
"I'm just fixing somethings in here!" Recluse replies. Even though he knew Ock couldn't hear him. Recluse heard a loud thud from outside. He was guessing he managed to make and arm to fall off. Recluse jumped out and returned to regular size.
"No, you know not to mess with me. And if a guy says no, they mean no." Recluse says putting a hand on Ock's shoulder, who was now on the ground from the pain in his brain.
"Oh, no Recluse. I don't take no for an answer." Ock began chuckling to himself. All of a sudden Recluse flew to the other side of a building roof.
"Son of a bitch!" Recluse's spidey-sense hadn't warned him in time.
"Guess little Octopus Boy couldn't crush the new spider alone." King Pin says.
"We can't kill him, Pin. We need him." Ock says getting back up. His fallen arm reattaching.
"Hey, King Pin! How have you been? Still committing illegal shit!" Recluse shouts standing up.
King Pin and Doc Ock charged at Recluse, but Recluse jumped over both of them.
"Come on guys! Two against one? That's unfair!" Recluse was so caught up in fighting past villains, he forgot what Hank had told him.
King Pin charged at Recluse again, but he sidestepped. He didn't notice Doc had snuck up behind him and wrapped two of his metal arms around Recluse.
"You're kidding me." Recluse mumbles. He clicked the shrink button. He slipped through the arms and landed onto the ground.
"KAREN, turn on stealth mode," Peter whispers.
"Stealth mode: activated." KAREN answers.
"Ock, where'd the bug-boy go?" Pin asks.
"I don't know. I can't see him." Ock replies annoyed.
Recluse jumped up and punched King Pin, then used the momentum to push off and kick Ock in the head. Both stumbled to the ground.
"Where are you?! Come and fight instead of hiding!" Pin shouted in anger.
Recluse jumped again and slammed his feet against Pin's chest. He returned to normal size and shot webs. He stopped until Pin wasn't able to even budge.
"Hey, where'd Ock go?" Recluse said turning around. Recluse was suddenly wrapped in something again. And it wasn't Ock's metal arms. But something that felt unbendable and stuff.
"Well, now that you are in a little tight situation, time for a little payback." Ock says evilly.
He struck Recluse across the face with his metal arms. His suit may be made of vibranium, but getting hit can hurt sometimes. Like now. Shuri insisted on putting the kinetic absorber, but Peter said it would be too much like T'Challa's suit.
While thinking, Recluse hadn't even noticed Ock managed to pull the webs off King Pin. Who was now standing up and walking towards Peter.
"You should've just came willingly. If you did, we wouldn't be doing this." King Pin brought both fists into the air and slammed them both down onto Peter's head.
Recluse sucked in a breath. He fell onto the ground. 'Has Pin gotten stronger?' Peter's thoughts were cut short as pain erupted from his right arm. Recluse clutched his jaw, resisting the urge to scream in pain.
"Guess Bug-Boy is stronger than I thought." Pin says out loud.
Ten Minutes Later
"Pin, the police are coming," Ock announces looking up from his screen.
"What about the little bug here. Leave him. We'll come back. We can't risk getting caught." Ock says before disappearing into the night.
"I had fun Buggy. Maybe next time don't say no to us." Pin says before leaving the heavy breathing teen on the building.
Recluse painfully pulled himself up and was barely able to hold in his scream. He pressed the shrink button and got out of the stray jacket thing Ock slipped onto him.
During Pin's payback beating, he managed to loosen the jacket just a bit for Recluse to be able to press the button. Recluse returned to normal size and limped to the edge of the building.
"KAREN, what are my injuries?" Recluse breathes out.
"You appear to have internal bleeding in your skull, a concussion, your right arm is broken, you have a black eye, your lip is bleeding, and you have multiple bruises. I recommend getting medical attention soon." The AI replies.
"Great. Just fucking great." Recluse mumbles.
He didn't bother to call his spider because he sent it back during the fight. Not wanting to have it crushed.
Recluse shot a web and swung away. He had to swing with one arm because Pin broke his other. Recluse knew it would heal, but it would take longer than his other injuries. He didn't even know what happened to his head when Pin slammed his fists onto it.
Recluse continued swinging until blackness started to appear in the corners of his eyes. He decided to stop and take a break. Recluse crashed onto the nearest building and rolled for a bit before stopping. Recluse breathing picked up before suddenly collapsing from the pain.
With the Avengers
"Sir, it appears someone has landed on the roof of the tower. Severely injured." FRIDAY announces to Tony.
"I'll go take a look. Have Bruce prepare med bay." Tony says before leaving his lab and stepping into the elevator.
At the Roof
Tony walks onto the roof and scans the area, until his eyes land on heavy breathing form. Tony runs over and turns the form over, trying to ignore the flinch. His eyes widen. It was Recluse.
Tony picks Recluse up like a child and carried him into the elevator.
"FRIDAY, is med bay ready?" Tony asks.
'Why was Recluse so injured. What was he doing?' His thoughts were cut off with FRIDAY saying the bay was ready.
Once the elevator doors opened, Tony practically sprinted to the bed Bruce was standing by.
"Hey, Tony you ok-who's that?" Bruce asks.
Bruce's eyes fill with realization, "Why's Recluse here? He didn't do anything did he?"
"No no no, he's injured. Help him, Bruce. FRIDAY just told me someone landed on the roof and was severely injured." Tony answers.
Bruce nods before asking FRIDAY to scan the vigilante.
"Recluse appears to have an internal bleeding skull, a concussion, a broken right arm, a black eye, bleeding lip, and have multiple bruises," FRIDAY announces.
"I need to get his suit off to fix up his injuries," Bruce says looking at Tony.
"Though, all of Recluse's injuries appear to be healing already. Majority of his bruises are healed, his bleeding lip and black eye are already healed, and his arm is fixing its self. But, you have to break his arm again because it is healing the wrong way." FRIDAY interrupts.
"Wait he? I didn't know Recluse was a guy. I didn't even know the gender." Tony says.
"Tony focus! We need to break his arm it's healing the wrong way!" Bruce exclaims.
"Sorry, FRIDAY get Cap down here!" Tony says.
"Mr. Rodgers is on his way."
Steve walked through the door of the med bay, curious on why Tony needed him in the bay.
"Hey Tones, whatcha need?" Cap asks.
"I need to break this arm," Tony says holding up an arm.
Steve raises his eyebrows, "What the heck?"
"It's healing wrong." Tony answers.
Steve walks over and freezes when he sees the person laying in the bed.
"Tony! This is Recluse! Why is he here. Why didn't you call S.H.I.E.L.D?!"
"He was badly injured, Steve!" Tony shouts raising his arms.
Steve sighs, "Well, at least tell the other I'll break their arm... again. But we'll have to put cuffs on him."
"Fine. Tell the others. FRIDAY lock all doors and windows Recluse here could break out of." Tony says.
Steve walks out of the room to gather up the rest of the Avengers and explain the situation. Tony pulled steel cuffs out of a compartment and clicked them onto Recluse's wrists. He attaches both cuffs to the bed to prevent Recluse from escaping. Not knowing he can shrink.
Tony heard a loud stampede of footsteps from outside the door. The door slammed open and the Avengers stood there with their weapons and magic drew. Ready to attack at any moment.
"Tony! Are you ok? Recluse didn't hurt you right?" Wanda asks. Arms in a fighting stance.
"I'm fine. It's Recluse that's not ok. And Cap breaks that arm now. It's healing." Tony says.
Steve walked over "Which arm?"
"The right," Bruce says returning from his lab. He was grabbing an anesthetic for Recluse's arm.
"We need to take off his suit so I can inject him with this," Bruce announces rising the needle.
"Ok, Cap takes his suit off," Tony says.
Steve pulled up part of the suit near the right arm and pulled. Nothing happened. He tried again. Same result.
"Why isn't it ripping?" Clint questions.
"I don't know... there are only a few things I can't break. Maybe it's vibranium." Steve suggests letting go of the fabric.
"How would Recluse obtain vibranium?" Natasha asks lowering her gun.
"I don't know. Guess we could ask him when he wakes up." Tony says shrugging.
"Steve, gotta break that arm," Bruce says.
"Right ok. What about the anesthetic?" Steve asks.
"Guess we can't use it. Let's just hope he won't wake up." Bruce admits.
Steve grabbed onto Recluse's right arm. Prepared to break it. A sickening snap filled the room. Everyone but Vision, Clint, Natasha, and Bucky flinched.
"Ahhh!!!" Recluse shouts shooting up from the bed.
"Nice to see you're awake Recluse." Tony greets. All the Avengers raised their weapons again and aimed them at Recluse.
Recluse's eyes clear up and he began to recognize his surroundings. He never thought he'd be here again.
Recluse began breathing heavily. He knew the Avengers were after him. Only because he saves the small dogs.
"Hey, you alright?" Tony asks before laying a hand on his shoulder.
Recluse flinches at the touch. Tony retracts his hand quickly.
"KAREN, call a spider." Recluse mumbles barely audible.
"Spider will arrive in 3 minutes," KAREN replies.
"Recluse, you have to stay here until you are taken into custody," Natasha says returning back to her S.H.I.E.L.D agent personality.
Recluse didn't even listen. He clicked the shrink button and jumped off the bed. Ignoring all the pain in his body screaming at him to stop.
"Guys! Where'd he go?! Look for him! FRIDAY, shut every way Recluse could escape out of!" Nat shouts running out of the room.
What they didn't know, was that Recluse already reached the window and jumped out. Landing on the back of his spider.
Iron Man, War Machine, Falcon, Thor, and Natasha flew out in their suits and drove out on a motorcycle.
Recluse sighed. He had a lot to explain to Hank, Scott, and Hope about why he was gone for more than a day.

How Everyone Knows His Name is Recluse:
Recluse was doing his normal patrol. Except he decided to swing around instead of flying on a spider. He heard gunshots go off in the distance. Recluse changed directions and headed towards the problem. He landed on the ground and heard a reporter shout.
"Hey! Spider-Man Imposer! Why don't you choose your own names instead of copying.
Peter sighed, clicked his shrink button, and ran into the bank. There were 3 hostages and 2 gunmen. One filling a bag with money and the other watching the civilians. Peter grew to a normal size and cleared his throat.
"Hey, you know instead of stealing, you could get a job," Peter says before shooting a web-grenade at the person holding the hostages. He shot a single web at the person who was about to shoot a gun at him. The gun flew out of the man's hand. Peter shoot another web and the man's arm got stuck to the wall. He shot again and both arms were stuck to the wall. Peter walked over to the hostages and ripped the ropes out of them.
"Thanks, Spider-Man Imposer!" One of the younger hostages shouted.
Peter sighed and began shooting webs at one of the empty walls of the bank. Once finished he shrunk again and ran out.
The same reporter ran in, hoping to interview the Spider-Man Imposer but all they saw was the remaining word.
"Recluse? Huh. Guess that's his name." A hostage woman said.
The reporter smiled. Least now he didn't need to call him a Spider-Man Imposer. He personally thinks he's doing a nice thing for helping Spider-Man.
"Recluse, good name. Wonder why he picked it?" The reporter thought out loud before deciding to interview the hostages.
