Chapter 10: On Your Right
Peter walked into the penthouse one early morning. His mind was all over the place and he didn't get that much sleep. He grabbed an apple from the fruit tray that was located in the fridge. He heard the elevator open followed by a bunch of footsteps. Turning around he saw Steve, Sam and Bucky walking in.
"Hey Peter." Steve greeted.
"Hey, um... what are you guys awake so early? I didn't expect anyone to be awake at this time." Peter asked taking a bite out of his apple.
"Well we can say the same thing to you." Sam said.
"We're going out for a run, it's been awhile." Bucky answered Peter's question.
"Do you wanna join us?" Steve invited. Peter thought about. It would be a good distraction from everything. That and he had way too much energy in him. On the other hand Peter didn't want to intrude on anything.
"Uh... do you guys mind? I don't want to come if you guys had something else planned..." Peter said.
"No, no. It's fine." Sam reassured.
"O-okay. Yeah, I'll... I'll tag along."
~~~~~
"On your left." Bucky said passing Peter and Sam.
The four hadn't been running for that long but Steve and Bucky must have said that over a thousand times already. Peter kept pace with Sam while Steve and Bucky ran ahead. Peter scrunched his eyebrows when Steve passed them yelling 'on your left'.
"Why are they saying 'on your left' every time they pass?" Peter asked.
"It's a sick joke to remind me that they're super soldiers and that I'm ten times slower than them." Sam grumbled. "One day though, I'll be the one to say it. Then let's see who's laughing."
Peter thought for a moment before picking up his pace. He heard Sam give a noise of confusion but Peter kept running until he was at the same pace as Steve.
"On your right!" He yelled and sped off. He came right beside Bucky which startled him a bit, not expecting Peter to catch up to him.
"On your right!" Peter yelled and sped off laughing. Peter kept yelling 'on your right' every time he passed either one. At some point Sam stopped running and watched the scene play out with an amused face. He laughed when he saw the frustrated looks on Steve and Bucky's face. Eventually the two stopped running. They sat on the ground panting, trying to catch their breaths. Peter came to a stop in front of them. He was smiling and didn't even break a sweat.
"You guys good?" Peter said, trying to suppress his laugh. Sam on the other hand was laughing his head off.
"Yeah, yeah. J-just give us a few minutes." Steve panted out.
"Kid, you are my new favourite person." Sam said smiling. Peter beamed and shrugged his shoulders. "We should have invited you way earlier!"
Steve and Bucky let a groan while Peter and Sam laughed at their predicament.
"Now you know how I feel." Sam stated.
"Let me tell you, it's way more funnier when your the one passing the other person." Bucky grunted out.
"Well I done for today. Let's get back to the tower and wash off. Yeah?" Everyone agreed with Steve and started walking back to the tower.

Peter swung through the city. The place was starting to go back to normal. There was very little debris left and most roads have been cleared. People are returning to their normal lives and Peter didn't how to feel about that. On one hand he's happy that things are going back to normal. On the other hand Peter envy's those who can live a normal life.
He envy's the kids who got to live a normal childhood. He envied those who had a normal family. A mom, a dad, siblings, loving grandparents, aunts and uncles and cousin. He wanted to have that type of family, but he couldn't. He didn't have them. He envied those who weren't forced to grow up and didn't have their childhood taken away.
Peter's childhood, at least the beginning of it, was spent at Hydra's. They had kidnapped him as a young child. Maybe he was 2? 3 years old? He grew up there until he was about 6. That's when he and the others decided to escape. The escape was hazy for Peter. It was like his mind blocked off that part of his life. All he remembers was smoke and fire and death. He remembers getting lost and losing the others while running. That's where S.H.I.E.L.D soldiers found him and later he realized that those S.H.I.E.L.D soldiers were his parents.
After being found he was dropped off at May and Ben's. He never saw his parents after that. He grew up with May and Ben. They were the only family he ever had. A little after he became Spider-Man, he found Abby and the others. They were different. He remembers asking a million questions an hour when he saw them in the first time in forever and the rest is history.
Civil War happened, Toomes happened, Thanos happened, being dusted and becoming the Soul Stone's Wielder happened. Now Hydra.
'Man don't you just love your life?'
"Do you ever shut up?"
'Say's you. You can never keep that mouth shut. I wouldn't be surprised if people were tired of your voice. It's so loud and squeaky and annoying.'
Peter bit his bottom lip under his mask. He was about to respond when he heard a familiar noise of repulsors behind him. Just as he suspected, Tony flew up beside him.
"Hey kid." Tony's voice came.
"Hey Mr. Stark!" Peter greeted but immediately regretted speaking out loud.
"Did you just finish your rounds?" Tony asked and Peter just nodded. Inside the Iron Man suit Tony raised an eyebrow at Peter's silence. Usually he would talk his ear off about his patrol. "You want to join me in annoying Strange? I heard he was clearing up the small debris left near the Sanctuary."
"Um... no thanks Mr. Stark. I think I'm just gonna turn in for the night."
"You sure? We can go get that snack you always talk about. You know the ones the old lady bought you? What were they called? Chocos? Charos? Charcoal?"
"Churros."
"Right, churros."
"Thanks for the offer, but uh... I'm good."
Peter swung away and Tony watched with a frown as he disappeared.
~~~~~
"It's ready."
"Good, we leave tonight."
"Yes sir."
~~~~~
"Peter!" Abby yelled as she neared Peter. Her voice filled with urgent and worry. She landed on top of Peter's old apartment where they had agreed to meet.
"What? What's the emergency? What happened?"
"It's Ashley. She's gone."
~~~~~
