"Specter in the Code" Everest (Avengers)

I made this a while ago I recently found it again and thought I'd post it

Before he was Everest, he was just a kid named Tracer Campbell-brilliant, quiet, stubborn, and born different. A shapeshifter with untapped potential and no real place in the world, Tracer fought beside Spider-Man in the shadows of New York long before the Avengers ever knew his name.

But when a catastrophic mission destroyed his suit and scattered his path, Tracer disappeared. For years, he worked deep undercover with Nightwing in Blood City, tracking the movement of a dangerous alien artifact-something that unraveled minds and left nothing but chaos in its wake. Their mission became survival. And survival became silence.

Now? The silence is over.

When the Avengers stumble across old footage of a rooftop long forgotten, Peter Parker recognizes someone he never thought he'd see again: Everest.

Pulled back into the light, Everest finds himself navigating a world he doesn't trust, surrounded by heroes who don't yet understand him, and trying to rebuild more than just a suit-he's rebuilding himself.

This is a story about what happens when the battle is over, but the war inside you isn't.
About trauma, healing, friendship, family, and finding a home in a tower full of misfits, geniuses, and the loudest ferret in existence.

Everest has always had powers. The suit didn't give them to him-he was born different. The suit simply channeled his strength, amplified his abilities, and allowed his shapeshifting to truly shine. When it was destroyed, the glitch effects and it's other abilities vanished-but his powers, his core, him... remained.

Yes, the Marvel and DC universes exist together in this story.

They coexist. They overlap. And sometimes, they collide in unexpected ways.

This is not about choosing a side.
It's about what happens when both sides make room for someone like him.
