Chapter 31: Files

Bruce was rummaging through some boxes in the lab. He was looking for a paper he wrote that might assist him in his recent experiment. Bruce placed down the box he just looked through and went over and grabbed the next one. Placing it on his desk, Bruce opened the box.

Bruce furrowed his eyebrows. The files weren't from any experiment down by him nor Tony. In fact, the files weren't even in English. The majority of them were all in Russian. What confused him even more though were the files in it. There were names of people, kids. He stopped. Reading over one of the files, Bruce cursed. He placed the file back in and carried the box out.

"FRIDAY, call anyone who's free to the conference room. Tell them I found something."

"On it, Dr. Banner"

"Thanks, Happy." Peter said as he got out of the car, MJ and Ned following right behind him.

"Anytime Kid, also get that wound of yours checked." Happy called out.

"Yeah, I will."

Happy drove off and the trio walked into the compound. They were expecting to have water dumbed on them or get a pie in their face. What they didn't expect was complete silence. The three looked at each other.

"Uh, FRIDAY? Where is everyone?" Peter looked up to the ceiling.

"They are in the conference room. They ask for your presence. Shuri and Harley are waiting in the playroom for Michele and Ned."

No matter how many times FRIDAY had said his name, Ned always got starstruck. Rolling her eyes, MJ pushed Ned forward. She nodded to Peter before dragging Ned away. Peter walked to the conference room. He stopped at the door.

'This is it. They're going to tell me that they're done with me. They're going to toss me aside. This will be my last time here.' Peter said.

'Good grief. Just go in. Stopping being a scaredy cat. Honestly, just take this inevitable outcome like a man.'

'Shut up, leave him alone. They aren't going to kick you out.'

"What the... since when was there two of you?"

'Ever since you started believing in a fantasy.'

'Go in. They aren't going to disown you.'

Peter opened the door. He was met with the original six, Wanda and Vision, Sam and Bucky, Scott and Hope and Rhodey.

"Uh, FRIDAY said you needed me?" Peter asked, walking into the room.

"Yeah, take a look at these." Steve handed him a file.

Peter took it and looked at it. Just seeing the front page made his heart stop. 'Abby Winters' was written in the center of the file. Opening it, Peter skimmed through it. He looked up to the rest of the heroes.

"Where did you get this?"

"That was in the box we found when we went on that mission to the base." Hope answered. She pushed the box to Peter. He dropped the file he was holding and grabbed another. This time it had 'Jason Rivers' on the front.

"How come we never looked through the box before? Why did you just bring it out now?" Peter asked as he pulled out another file.

"I just found it. I don't know why it was with the boxes containing papers Tony and I wrote for various experiments." Bruce said.
