I Feel Like That's on Me

On the Run

SHIELD Facility

[2023]

~Peter~

When I wake again the restraints are gone and the tablet is on the side table. I immediately get up and stretch because my body aches from the lack of movement from the past day (or possibly the past six years).

Looking around the room I realize how empty it is compared to my bedroom with May, we may not have had much money but it was home and it felt safe. But here? Here I'm trapped and there isn't any other way to describe how I feel here, sure having Bruce there was really nice but who's to say he actually will come back?

I feel like I'm on the edge of another attack when I hear the locks for the door clicked open, I take a seat on the edge of the bed.

"Mister Parker" Fury stretches out his words as he walks in. "I can't stay long I'm just here to drop off food and let you know I have a meeting this afternoon and won't be available"

"Okay, and what if I need to contact you?" I say sharply, the older man sighs before pointing at the tablet.

"You can reach me through there, It's the only contact" I nod at the man and he walks out preventing further questions. I grab the tablet than lay back and roll over so my back faces the door.

While looking through the tablet I realize something, I can hack the base's security from the device. Fury has most definitely underestimated my abilities and has given me the perfect opportunity to escape. I know that once I have the door open I have to sprint so once I break into SHIELD's system I use the tracker on the device to figure out which facility I am in... Bingo! Central Manhattan. Oh wow, that makes this much easier for once I'm out of the building.

Within the next ten minutes, I have the alarm systems off and the doors in my way unlocked.

Now I run.

I follow the exit signs and find myself at a staircase and jump the steps until I reach a door that says L on the sign, I yank the door open almost ripping it off its hinges. If I calculated correctly I have about fifteen seconds before they notice I'm gone and come after me.

The lobby is slightly crowded but I push through until I see the entrance and hesitate for a moment before sprinting out the doors and down the street, not stopping until I've made it a couple of blocks and ensured nobody is close behind me.

I use the moment to take in my surroundings, I don't recognize much it's mostly office buildings but a small shop catches my attention. The front of the store has a T.V. playing the news,

"Multiple Avengers Spotted in Central Park Just Moments Ago"

A picture of Colonel James Rhodes, Bruce Banner and... Tony Stark walking through Central Park. I stand frozen for a moment before I can hear someone running and turn to see three agents running towards me, I turn and sprint in the other direction but this time I have a destination. Central Park.

The agents aren't enhanced so I lose them fairly quickly, I pass a store with a clothing rack on the outside and quickly swipe a hoodie and put it on without being caught. When I finally see the park, three un-marked SUVs turn the corner and I start to run faster into the park.

I pull my hood up and yank on the strings to hide my face better. I look around and notice the park getting emptier, Fury was clearing out the park. Looking around I try to spot the people I came here to find but only succeed in getting spotted by an agent.

"HEY!" The agent yells and starts towards me, my spidey sense starts to go off and right before the guy tackles me I knock him out and climb the nearest tree to hide just as a gathering of people forms by the tree seemingly not noticing me.

"We know he hasn't left yet so keep an eye out" I know who's voice it is immediately, Fury's. There is no way I'm getting out of here without one of the Avengers here helping me.

"HEY! EYEPATCH! What's going on here?" My breath stops, It's Mr. Stark he is actually here. I crawl down the branch to get a better view of what's going on and there it is, Fury with some of his agents standing across from Mr. Stark, Bruce and Colonel Rhodes.

"Details are confidential Stark all you need to know is we had a breach at our facility and someone got out, that person is somewhere in this park" Fury obviously still doesn't want Mr. Stark to know about me yet but I will make sure that he does... Today.

I hear a sharp inhale and turn to look at Bruce who has probably just figured out that Fury is talking about.

"Fury, tell me you didn't lose him" Fury stays silent while Mr. Stark and Colonel Rhodes look confused. "I told you! That this wouldn't end well, but you said you would handle it!" I can tell Bruce is trying very hard to contain his anger.

"Okay, will somebody please elaborate" Mr. Stark sounds like he's losing his patience which can't lead anywhere good.

"When we find him he is coming with us, he will under no circumstances be going back with you" Bruce is ignoring the other avengers behind him for the moment and only focusing on Fury.

"No, absolutely not, He isn't ready for that and none of you could handle it" Fury shoots back almost immediately.

"Oh, because you're handling it so well? YOU STRAPPED HIM TO HIS DAMN BED FURY!" Bruce is really really good at controlling his anger I'm surprised he hasn't gone full green yet.

"He was becoming destructive" Fury seems to be remaining fairly calm throughout this.

"HE HAD A PANIC ATTACK FROM A NIGHTMARE! HE WAS SCARED!" Rhodes comes up to Bruce and places a hand on his shoulder.

"Hey, man take a deep breath" Mr. Rhode's voice was soothing and seemed to calm Bruce fairly quickly.

I move to shift closer and the back of my neck tingles then my foot slips and suddenly I'm falling.
