Finally, he feels his mask being pulled off.
Peter didn't dare to open his eyes.
'Kinetic energy,' Peter thought to himself.
He moved his arms and torso a much as they could move to roll into a ball.
The energy he's been keeping in released and caused all the Avengers to be blown back.
Peter quickly covered his face with his hands and ran after his mask. He grabbed the mask and pulled it over his head. Peter turned around and saw the Avengers begin to get back up. Recluse took the chance and shot a web at a billboard.
He began swinging away. He heard the hum of the Iron Man blasters from behind him. Recluse didn't dare turn around. He pressed the shrink button down. Recluse thought he was going to break the button. He shrink down and landed on the side of a building. He slipped into one of the many small cracks from the erosion over time. He hears Iron Man fly past him.
"FRIDAY, scan for Recluse."
"I cannot detect Recluse. I'm sorry sir," FRIDAY answered.
"Damn pest," Tony sneered.
Time Skip
Recluse waited for god knows long. When the sun began setting, Recluse decided the Avengers left, so he jumped out of the crack and swung away.
"Call from, Scott Lang. Accept or Decline," KAREN suddenly said.
"Accept," Peter said sighed.
"Peter? Peter! Are you okay? We saw they fight. Oh god we were so worried. Someone recorded the entire thing. We thought they saw your face. Thankfully the person didn't get that. Hank is sending a spider out for you. Watch out for it. And please be careful Peter. We'll see you home," Scott said before hanging up.
Peter wasn't able to say anything. He just swung up to the top of a building and sat down. Thinking about what was happening. He nearly lost his identity, the Avengers are getting closer to figuring it out.
'What will happen if they find out my identity? Will Tony be mad? Will he think I'm not suited to be a hero anymore?' Peter thought.
He looked up and saw the spider that was sent out for him staring at him. Peter sighed, smiled and jumped onto its back.
Time Skip
Peter landed in front of the house and grew back to normal size. The spider took off and headed back into the basement. Peter stood outside for a few more minutes as the sky got darker. He finally decided to head inside.
Peter opened the front door and was tackled by Scott.
"Oh geez kid, stop scaring me like that," Scott said.
"Sorry Scott, I'll try to," Peter answered.
Scott stood up and held his hand out for Peter to grab. He accepted it and Scott pulled him up.
"Peter! Are you alright," Hank asked as Hope and him rushed to Peter.
Peter looked up and smiled when he saw Hank and Hope.
They grabbed him too and pulled him into a hug.
"Thank god you're ok! I was so worried," Hope exclaimed.
Hank ruffled Peter's hair before letting go in the hug. Everyone else let go, but stayed near.
"Glad to see you're in one piece Pete,"
Hank said.
"Let's go to the basement and run a scan on you, just to make sure you don't have any internal bleeding or anything," Hope said before gently pulling Peter down to the basement.
"I'll go get the kid some clothes," Scott says before walking up the stairs that lead upstairs.
With the Avengers
The Avengers were currently sitting in the infirmary letting the nurses attend to their wounds.
"I can't believe he beat us again," Bucky sighed.
"He was just one step ahead of us, we'll get him next time," Steve said as one of the nurses finished wrapping his arm in gauze. He thanked her before she left.
"Tony, what are you doing?" Hawkeye asked as the said man typed away on his computer.
Tony ignored him and continued typing away.
"FRIDAY, put this on the screen," Tony said moving away from the computer.
The screen appeared with a gps tracker and coordinates.
"This is the location of Recluse," Tony announces.
"Tony, when did you attach this?" Steve says while getting up and walks to the monitor.
"While we were held Recluse up, I attached it to his suit. We now have his location and audio recording," Tony said with a smirk.
"We'll have to go after him tomorrow. The team needs to rest up," Cap said.
Tony slumps over more and rolls his eyes.
"Fine."
Back at the House
Peter sat up and laid down on the cool metal table.
"Just keep you breathing normal and you're good," Hope said at the controls.
Peter began moving into the machine, listening to the quiet hum of the gears moving. The stairs to the basement creaked and he heard Scott being to speak to Hope. He decided to ignore them, and continued drifting in and out of reality.
"Hope, Hank found something on Peter's suit," Scott whispered to Hope.
"What did he find," Hope asked worriedly.
"He found a tracker," Scott said quieter.
Hope sucked in a breath.
"What's he doing with it," Hope questioned in a shaky voice.
"Hank is currently taking out one of the hot wheels and going somewhere."
Hope looked at the scanner, with a distant look of fear.
"What if they find us..." Hope asked quietly, "What if you go back to jail..."
"I'm sure we'll be okay," Scott answered quietly, he put his arm around Hope's shoulders and pulled her closer. She didn't bother pushing his arm off.
The scanner began beeping, which caused Hope to leave Scott's hold and walk to the screen.
Scott followed closely behind.
Hope typed in a code and Peter began moving out of the scanner.
"Okay Peter, you're completely fine. Just a small cracked rib that's already healing. You'll be fully healed in one or two days. So no patrolling in the mean time," Hope said sternly.
Peter sat up and nodded. "I'm hungry, I'm gonna go eat."
He hopped off the table and walked past Scott who gave him his clothes. And with that, Peter walked back up the stairs.
Hope shut down the scanner and walked towards the stairs, Scott followed behind and flicked off the lights.
With Hank
Hank has been driving well over an hour now. He needs to be sure the Avengers won't find them. He getting closer to the border of the next state. Who knows what would happen if the Avengers found them.
Hank signed, and speed off into the night.
