Once Peter woke up, he didn't recognize his surroundings, it was dark and a dim light hung above him. But when he tried to move, he found out he was strapped down to a table. Panic started to rise in his chest, he remembered he was with his grandpa at home while his dad was out of town for a meeting. He went to take a nap as he was sick and that's all he could figure out, his head was pounding, how long was he asleep for? It must've been awhile since he was in a different place than in his own bed.

He heard footsteps and he saw a man in a lab coat, looking down at the young boy. He wished he could wither away. He still felt pretty awful with his stuffed up nose and itchy cough, of course crying wasn't solving anything. He was really scared, and he wanted his dad, he hoped he'd be rescued soon. The man looming over him began talking to someone else, Peter presumed it was another fellow scientist. He could tell they were speaking a different language, one he didn't know, and he could already speak three.

"Sollen wir mit dem verfahrensarzt beginnen?" (Shall we start the procedure doctor?)

"Ja, wir müssen sofort anfangen. Sonst werden wir beiseite geworfen." (Yes, we need to start immediately. Or else we're being tossed aside.)

The two men moved towards Peter, but then another person came in, he shouted and startled the adults and young boy. He went to Peter and grinned menacingly, "Hello Peter, it's nice to finally meet you. I've been watching you for quite some time now, and boy do I have plans for you." Peter whimpered in response, having no clue who this man was.

"I.. I want to go h.. home." Peter replied.

"That's too bad, you're not going home any time soon." Before the man left he spoke with the scientists and then left the room. As the scientists approached Peter he began to thrash about, he knew he couldn't set himself free, but that didn't mean he couldn't make their jobs more difficult. A stinging feeling could be felt in his arm, he didn't know what it was but it hurt so much.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Alright Fri, what do we got so far?" Tony asked his A.I while the others joined by Nick Fury and Maria Hill were standing and watching the monitor. Howard had been talking with Steve, guilt had washed over him, he wished he could've done something to keep his grandson safe. He hated himself for not doing something more than grabbing a kitchen knife and heading towards the front door.

"It seems as though HYDRA is okay with staying in plain sight. They're compound is located in the small town Lübeck, Germany." The A.I informed.

"Of course they couldn't pick somewhere that wasn't in Germany." Tony mumbled to himself.

Whatever HYDRA was doing to his boy they clearly weren't afraid of the repercussions or staying quiet about it either. Tony also knew he had to talk to his father, he wasn't angry, because it wasn't Howard's fault. He was glad that Howard tried to protect Peter, if this were the old Howard, he wouldn't have blinked an eye. He continued to type away before they got the exact location of where to find Peter.

"Alright everyone, the goal is to get Peter and get out. If you can fight some HYDRA goons that's just a bonus. So suit up." Steve said. The heroes did what they were told, and started getting on the quinjet, but Howard stopped Tony before he boarded the aircraft. "Tony I just wanted to say I'm sorry." He said.

Tony shook his head, "Dad, it's not your fault. Back then you probably wouldn't have tried, what you did yesterday proved you're a different man now." Howard hugged his son, relieved he wasn't angry, and he'd definitely hug Peter like there was no tomorrow. Tony got in the quinjet and settled with the team, anger boiled in him, no one in HYDRA wanted to be on his bad side.

Once they got to Lübeck and to the compound they snuck inside and stealthily took out different HYDRA agents. Tony used his thermal heating system and began searching for Peter, he found him and went to where he was, seeing his son strapped to a table and crying he let the nanotech dissolve off his suit and ran to Peter. "Hey bambino, it's okay I'm here." He said, starting to take off Peter's restraints.

"D.. Daddy?" Once Tony picked Peter up, his little one melted in his arms. He felt safe, as long as he had his dad he was safe.

"I'm here buddy, we're going home. It's alright little one."

"I knew you'd show sooner or later." Tony recognized that voice, it was one he hadn't heard in years, it shot a chill through his spine, Peter clutched tightly to him. That gave away Peter already met him, it made Tony even angrier. He turned around slowly, meeting the man's eyes.

"Of course I would. You kidnapped my son Stane. If you touched him, I'm going to kill you." Obadiah scoffed and smirked.

"You're too late Tony. Your kid has already been of use to me." Tony looked down at Peter to see that he was so drained, physically and emotionally. He was definitely going to kill Stane, for good this time.

"What. Did. You. Do. To. My. Son?" Venom seethed Tony's every word, his suit began building all around him, encasing itself around Peter to protect him, he aimed his repulsor at Stane ready to shoot him when Stane was hit over the head by a certain shield. Natasha had shown up his side and cuffed Stane while he was knocked out.

They had rounded up every scientist and agent in the entire compound and brought them back to S.H.I.E.L.D for questioning. They immediately threw Obadiah under the bus saying it was all his plan to kidnap Peter and inject him with some sort of serum. Tony had already taken Peter down to the med bay for Bruce to check if he was okay and all.

As Peter laid asleep in the hospital bed Tony held him and Howard sat in a chair asleep as well. Tony stroked Peter's hair, reminding him he was with. Peter had been crying and whimpering against his father's chest from the time he picked him up in the compound to the time he fell asleep, once he completely dozed off the whimpering and crying stopped.

Bruce came back with papers in his hands, "His vitals are stable, but that serum they injected him with altered his DNA. It was some form of radioactive chemical, the readings say he's half human half spider."

Bruce took off his glasses and pinched the crease of his nose, "We won't know what all the serum will do but we'll run more tests as he gets older. For now the serum is dormant if that makes sense Tony." Tony nodded his head and kissed Peter's forehead, his boy was okay and would hopefully get better as time went on.

9 YEARS LATER

Peter got off the tower's elevator and tugged his shoes off, he sighed. Today wasn't his day, and all he wanted was to eat some lucky charms and then sleep for a thousand years. That field trip was fun and pretty stressful as everything was incredibly loud which also gave him a headache. Oh, and on top of that he had his yearly appointment with Bruce about the serum. He hated them, he felt like he was being poked and prodded.

"Dad, I'm home." Peter said.

Tony popped his head out from his bedroom and smiled, "Heh kiddo, how was school?" Tony asked. To Peter his voice was booming, almost ear deafening and he didn't know why that seemed to be a common question for the last fourteen hours. Tony came up to him and kissed his forehead, Peter could tell he flinched.

Peter spoke softly, "It was okay, kind of tired now. The field trip was fun though."

"I promise once you're done with Bruce you can sleep. Why don't you put your stuff away and then we can go." Tony replied, Peter nodded his head and made his way to his room. Setting his backpack down by his desk, and slipping into less irritating clothing. He slipped a cozy sweater on but something occurred, he got stuck in the shirt, he didn't know what was happening.

Peter flailed about knocking into things in his room and walking around, he eventually got the sweater off but another problem arose. It fell to the ground, but Peter couldn't pick it up, he looked around and noticed his room was upside down. Was he on the ceiling?! He thought, as he had no idea how to get down he yelled for Tony, even if it felt like his brain was about to explode.

"Yeah Pete, we gotta leave soon..." Tony entered the room and saw his son on the ceiling with a stunned expression on his face.

Peter exclaimed, "I can't get down! What the heck is happening Dad?!"

Tony shook his head more so in shock than anything, and then started helping Peter get down. They immediately headed to Bruce and got to the med bay to meet with him. "Alright, let's see. Friday do me a favor and scan Peter please." The doctor said as he began sorting through papers.

"Scan complete, it appears the serum has finished mutating. The effects are superhuman strength, reflexes, and balance; the ability to cling tenaciously to most surfaces; and a subconscious precognitive sense of danger." Friday explained.

"His senses also seem to be enhanced as well, it may explain why he's been feeling sick in a way." Tony suggested as he saw Peter nod in response, he was way too exhausted to do this anymore, Bruce got the hint and they ended the appointment early.

Tony carried Peter bridal style to his room and let him sleep for some hours, and once he was up Peter sheepishly went to find Tony who was in his bed reading a book. The older man looked up and saw his son standing in the doorway, "What's up Bambino?" He asked.

Peter fiddled with the hem of his sweatshirt, "Can I ask you something?"

Tony chuckled in his response, "You're asking me one right now." When he saw the expression on Peter's face he knew this was serious. So he held his arms out and waited for Peter to settle into him.

"I have superpowers don't I?" Tony sighed at that question, he knew Peter would ask certain things eventually. He just didn't want to tell him like this, he wanted to wait to tell him everything Stane did.

"Yeah, you do. I wish you didn't, I wish you had a choice in the matter but you didn't. Do you remember Obadiah Stane?"

Peter nodded his head, he vaguely remembered that man, he worked with his dad until he went nuts and became a bad guy. "He and HYDRA concocted a plan to kidnap you and give you a serum that would kill you. Only it didn't work and altered your DNA, Bruce and I have been keeping an eye on it to make sure you were safe."

"That's why you do the check-ups?" Tony confirmed that with a hum, Peter was uncertain about asking something else, but decided to.

"I'm not gonna die right? I'm okay?" That was definitely the most dreadful question Peter could ask.

"No, you're okay Peter. Now that we know you have powers you're going to train to learn how to control them. If you don't want to be a hero that's fine, and if you do that's fine too I just want you to be safe. Make sense?"

"Yeah, i.. is Stane going to come back?" The fear in Peter's voice broke Tony's heart, he didn't want his boy to be afraid and constantly look over his shoulder.

"No buddy. He will never get you again. Me, your aunts and uncles, and grandpa will make sure of that." That answer seemed to make Peter feel content.

Peter snuggled closer to Tony and started closing his eyes, "Love you Dad." He says as he lays his head on Tony's chest.

Tony kissed Peter's forehead and fingered the knots out of his curls, "I love you too, Peter."
