The full title was supposed to be what's below but Wattpad doesn't let you make titles that long

Chapter 14 (Spider's make Hard Choices and is Someone Finally Going to Realize that Spiderman is an Innocent Little Bug that Should be Protected and Not Hunted Down with Cans of Bug Spray(I'm looking at you Deadpool))

Tony waited nervously in his lab for Peter to arrive. He couldn't help glancing at the T.V. that was playing to one side of the lab. So far nothing note worthy had happened and Tony wasn't sure whether to hope for something to happen or not. On one hand, it might solve the Spiderman problem, on the other, Peter seemed like a nice kid. He was smart and Tony wanted to get to know him more. But if the kid ended up being Spiderman he wasn't sure what he would do. None of them really wanted to capture Spiderman in the first place, that was all Fury. Maybe if Peter was Spiderman they could get to know him without the whole imprisonment and Fury interrogation thing. But Spiderman was a pretty shady character. Sure he helped people, but he didn't reveal his identity. And the fact that he wasn't willing to talk to the Avengers meant that he must be hiding something and Tony doubted that it was just his identity. Afterall, they were the Avengers and Spiderman was a superhero. Nothing would happen if he revealed his identity. And maybe Peter Parker was just a front, disguising Spiderman's dark intentions. Tony couldn't be sure. But he intended to find out. And if capturing Spiderman meant keeping people safe, then he supposed that's what he would have to do, whether he wanted to or not.

Tony sighed as the door's to the lab opened and Peter Parker came in. Please, Tony thought, don't be Spiderman. And if you are, I sure hope you let us know if you're a good guy or not, I don't want to hurt an innocent.

****

From the moment he woke up Peter debated with himself on whether he should risk returning to Stark Industries. What if they knew? What if they tried to capture him? What would he do?

"Peter, if you stress any more you're going to get grey hairs." RAAJA's voice came from the ceiling.

"White hairs mean you're smart." Peter shot back.

"No they do not."

"Then why did Einstein have white hair?" Peter said crossing his arms and sticking his chin up defensively.

"Merely because Einstein had white hair does not mean that white hairs means you're smart. Besides, Einstein also didn't wear socks and married his cousin."

Peter wrinkled his nose, "That's just gross. Who doesn't wear socks with shoes?"

"Though he was under FBI surveillance, much like you are under SHIELD's watch list?"

"Yeah, but I bet they never sent superheroes after him."

"No I suppose not. Now, it is time to go to your internship"

Peter glanced at his watch realizing that if he didn't leave soon he would be late. "I don't know if I should go." Peter said hunching his shoulders anxiously.

"Peter," RAAJA said, voice soft, "If you don't go, then they'll just be more suspicious."

"But what if they already know?" Peter said looking to the ceiling with wide, scared eyes.

"It'll be alright. If they know then you can use your abilities to escape since you'll no longer have to worry about hiding your abilities fromf them. Then we'll find a place to hide. Besides you are going to bring me with you using the new earpiece you finished yesterday."

Peter smiled, "I don't have a choice do I?"

"Nope."

"But what if Mr. Stark notices the earpiece?"

"He already knows of my existence and you made the piece practically invisible."

"Alright." Peter said before giving the ceiling a stern look. "But you will not to anything to endanger yourself. That means no confronting JARVIS. Understood?"

"That piece of junk wouldn't be any competition for me, as my name suggests."

Peter glared at the ceiling for a moment longer before his expression softened. "RAAJA, please? I can't.. I can't lose you."

RAAJA seemed to hum for a moment before relenting, "Alright Peter. But if you are attacked nothing will stop me from doing anything I can to protect you."

"Ok."

"Now let's go to your internship."

-----

Peter walked into the lab eyes flickering around the workspace. Mr. Stark was standing by one of the tables seemingly expecting him. Peter nearly walked out right then but that would only be more suspicious. What caught his attention next was the T.V. playing the news at the other side of the room. Peter wondered why Mr. Stark would have the news playing while in his lab but he figured it was just to provide background noise or let the man know if he needed to go be Iron Man, but as far as Peter knew the Avengers didn't really step in for local crimes and emergencies; they really only helped with the more global risks.

"Hey, kid."

"Hello, Mr. Stark."

Mr. Stark rolled his eyes, "Call me Tony, Mr. Stark makes me feel old."

Peter nodded but didn't say anything.

Tony nods in the direction of a table littered with random parts. "I want you to build me something out of that. It has to be able to do something." With that Tony turns back to his table where an Iron Man suit is laid out, its innerworkings visible.

Peter hesitates for a second, biting his lip, before heading over to the table and setting his backpack down. "RAAJA," Peter whispers.

"Yes, Peter?" Peter sighs in relief that the communicator works.

"Can you play some music, please?"

"What kind of music?"

"How about some musical numbers?" Peter feels himself relax as the soundtrack for Les Misérables starts playing through his earpiece. He hums along sometimes mouthing the words as his hands pick through the pile of parts, sorting and categorizing as his mind thinks of what he could build out of these things before him. Ideas and schematics fly through his head. His eyes land on what appears to be the parts of an old computer. His hands start gathering the necessary parts as his mind races forming schematics for what he has in mind.

Peter's not sure how long he works before RAAJA's voice breaks through the earpiece.

"Peter, I think you should look at the T.V."

Startled from his thoughts, Peter glances up and his eyes widen. The news anchor is saying something about a fire. An apartment complex is in flames behind him.

Peter stays frozen. What should he do? He desperately wants to go be Spiderman, but something about the situation is nagging at the back of his mind. His spider sense tingling the slightest bit.

"What should I do?" Peter whispers, wary of JARVIS listening in.

RAAJA is silent for long enough that Peter's afraid something went wrong with the earpiece. Finally she answers. "I don't know."

Peter huffs in frustration. "That's not helpful."

"They need Spiderman, but we also need to be careful that Mr. Stark doesn't get suspicious. You need to stay safe."

Peter nods forgetting that here in the tower RAAJA can't see him. His mind races for an excuse.

"Uh, Mr. Stark?" the man turns towards him. "I, uh, need to go. I forgot that I was meeting with, um, a friend today." Peter desperately hopes that all the practice from the lies he's had to tell since Spiderman make him convincing enough to fool the genius billionaire.

"Sure, kid. Go ahead." Mr. Stark says and Peter has to keep himself from sagging in relief.

"Sorry, Mr. Stark." he says and is out of the room before Mr. Stark has a chance to say another word.

Tony stands still for a second before glancing at the T.V. to confirm what he thought. There was a fire, something that would definitely attract a vigilante. Tony sighs. "Why did it have to be this kid?" he says to the empty room. He looks over to where the kid had been working. He raises his eyebrows at what appears to be a small metal cylinder, what could that possible be? He doesn't want to go after the kid. Afterall he's just a kid and he himself started out as a vigilante. But orders are orders and despite how much Tony enjoys disobeying them he can understand why Fury wants to keep tabs on Spiderman. The kid's powerful and to have a guarantee that he was on their side as well as his identity and stats would certainly make the Pirate happy, and that would get him to leave the Avengers alone. So, with the resignation that comes with doing something you know you'll later regret, Tony calls the suit and heads out to confront Spiderman.

I'm so so so so so sorry it took me so long to update.  Life has been kind of crazy lately.  I can't guarantee that the next chapter will be out quicker but I'll try.  

thanks for reading!
