Humanity

Peter and Ava were taking an easy day and were even hanging out with MJ and Ned for most of the day before heading home.

When they were on their way home, a sudden quake interrupts them and they look to see Daisy Johnson coming flying in with a box and crashes into the ground.

"Daisy?" Peter asks as he rushes to her side.

"Hey, guys." Daisy greets her friends as she collaps.

"What happened to you?" Peter asks her.

Daisy just hands Peter the box. "Use the Keys, save Fury." She explains and they're shocked to hear Fury is in danger.

-

When they got home, they left Daisy on the couch while Karen did a scan of her and learned she's going to be okay, but she needs rest.

Peter opened the box to find out what it is, and he has no idea what's inside of it.

"Yeah, I have no idea what I'm looking at here." Peter admits seeing a flute, measuring tape, and even a bottle of perfume.

"I'm surprised you haven't tried to play the flute yet." Ava says as she joins him.

"I'm a good cellist, not so good at the flute." Peter admits.

"I don't get this, where'd she even come from?" Ava wonders.

"You get in touch with Coulson?" Peter asks her.

"No, they're in radio silence." Ava tells him.

"These are supposed to be keys to save Fury, but I don't understand how." Peter states.

"What about the box itself?" Ava wonders.

Peter takes a closer look and sees there's an encryption on it.

"What language is that?" Peter asks.

"It appears to be inhuman." Karen interrupts.

"Can you translate it?" Ava asks her.

"Having access to what S.H.I.E.L.D. has been able to learn helps. It appears to have been made in Atarog. It talks about an old Inhuman city in Tibet." Karen tells them.

"I wonder what the heck Fury's doing there." Peter says.

"We need a jet." Ava informs him.

"Coulson does leave a quinjet in a abandoned parking lot for emergencies." Peter reminds her. "Time to assemble the Next Avengers again."

-

They take the quinjet to Tibet, knowing Daisy will be okay by herself and they explain the situation to the team.

"Oh, this is so exciting!" Kamala says as she's dressed in her super suit along with everyone else.

"I wonder what Fury is doing at an old supernatural city." Kitty wonders.

"When we find him, we will ask." Peter says and they come in for a landing,

"We sure we are in the right place?" Ava asks. "I'm not seeing a city, I see snow, mountains, and my breathe."

"Karen, scan the area." Peter asks and she finds something in a rock formation.

Peter walks up to it and puts his hand out and he walks through the formation and Ava follows him, followed by everyone else.

They look and they're suddenly in an abandoned city.

"Woah, this place is huge." Kitty states.

"How do we plan on finding Fury?" Cage asks.

"Just split up, look for anything Fury would have left for us." Peter says and they start searching the city.

-

After searching the city for a while, they haven't found anything.

"This place is like a ghost town." Luke states seeing nothing here.

"I'm confused." Doreen says as they all meet back up. "Did your A.I. make a mistake?"

"It was made by Tony Stark." Peter reminds her. "I'm sure that it doesn't make mistakes." He states.

"Hey, guys! We found something!" Kitty tells them and they find them and see a graffiti S.H.I.E.L.D. logo.

"Fury was here." Laura says and places her hand to the graffiti to see if she can get Fury's scent when the floor opened up.

"It's a good thing we've all seen Indiana Jones." Luke states and they all walk down the stairway.

They walk down the stairs to see where they lead when they watch the floor turning to mist.

"What the heck is happening?" Ava asks when the floor underneath the team disappears and they all fall.

Peter shoots a web at the team to keep them safe from the fall, luckily Luke and Laura have the strength to survive and they see they're in a large opening.

"Okay, we need to get out of here. Kamala, can you grow up and see what there is?" Peter asks her.

"Got it, Boss." Kamala says and starts growing large when crossbeams start coming from the walls and she shrinks again.

More of them start coming out at them and they all rush for cover.

"Does anyone see an off switch for these things?" Kitty asks as she uses her powers to not get crushed.

Ava makes it to a piece of the wall and sees a switch in between a small piece of the wall.

"Wait, Peter, pass me the measuring tape!" Ava calls out and Peter reaches into the box and tosses it to her.

Ava uses the measuring tape to go through the gap and hits the switch that shuts down the crossbeams.

"Oh, so that's how that was a key." Kitty realizes.

"Come on, let's find Fury." Peter tells them as the doors open and they walk out.

-

They go into another almost empty room all except for vines everywhere and a giant egg in the center.

"That's got to be Fury." Doreen says and walks ahead of the when the Vines come alive and start attacking them.

"Are you kidding me!?" Laura asks as she uses her claws to keep the vines from getting her and the others.

"Who's side is Fury on again?" Kamala asks as she grows her fists and swings them around but that doesn't seem to stop them.

"Does anyone have any idea to how we can stop these things?" Luke asks as he uses his strength to stop him from being eaten.

"What about another one of the keys?" Ava asks Peter.

Peter opens the box again and wonders if the perfume would work, like some plants die because of it.

He starts swinging around the room and uses the perfume to take them all out.

"Well, that was weird." Kitty says.

"Come on, let's get to Fury." Peter tells them and they run to the egg where Luke uses his strength to break it open.

Except, it wasn't Fury who was inside as they thought.

They look to see a woman older than any of them, somewhere between Daisy and Coulson's age, wearing red tinted glasses and she has red flowing hair and is wearing a full body suit with a white spot in the middle with lines flying off of it.

"Who the heck is this?" Laura asks and pulls out her claws again, ready to fight this girl.

The woman leaps from the platform the egg was on and now faces all of the kids.

"They call me Web. Madame Web." She introduces herself to them. "Thank you for rescuing me. The Guardian Vines are formidable. And yes, I'll take you to Nick."

"Those things are Guardian Vines?" Kitty asks, looking at the defeated plants.

"We must hurry, and defeat the Mechano." Web tells them.

"The mech-what?" Doreen asks.

"The Mechano. And it will likely be arriving any second." Web informs them.

"What's a Mechano?" Ava asks her.

"Ever hear the Greek myth about the Minotaur in the labyrinth?" Web asks.

"That big wrestler type guy who has a cow for a head?" Luke asks.

"Well, Mechano's worse than that." Web explains when a gigantic robot comes charging at them.

All of them then split up so that it can't get any of them and start trying to find a way to take it down.

"Quick question, how do we know this isn't a trap and you actually kidnapped Fury?" Ava asks when Web runs across and faces her.

"I'll explain everything to you, after you duck." Web tells her and Ava ducks just in time to miss getting hit.

"How'd she do that?" Luke asks as Laura leaps on top of the Mechano to take it down.

"Laura, get off it's back right now." Web warns and Laura decides to listen as the Mechano walks into the wall and she would have been crushed. "Katherine, grab Doreen and use your power." She warns them and Mechano was about to crush the two of them when Kitty grabbed Doreen and saved them.

"How does she know our names?" Luke asks, completely confused.

"You can see the future?" Peter asks Web.

"Not exactly." Web admits.

"Well, does your powers tell us of a way that we can turn this guy off?" Kamala asks as she punches the robot with her enlarged fists.

"There's a high probability you'll figure this out on your own. But just in case, use the keys I sent." Web tells them.

"Wait, you sent them?" Luke asks while holding Mechano's fist from crushing him.

"Less talk, more flute." Web tells them.

Peter reaches and grabs the flute and avoids Mechano.

"Does anyone know how to play one of these things?" Peter asks everyone.

"Nope." Kitty admits.

"Don't do instruments." Laura says while clawing at the legs.

"More muscle than instrumental." Luke tells him.

"Just play it!" Ava tells Peter.

"You asked for it." Peter warns and starts playing, and he's not very good.

"Well, we finally found something you're bad at." Ava says and the Mechano calms down and just walks away;

"Well, that Just happened. Okay, lady. Who are you, where's Fury and what's going on here?" Peter now asks Web.

"In eighty seconds, this room will be filled with insectoloids. So if you don't want to be bitten to death my mechanical-insects, we need to get out of here. I'll explain on the way." Web promises.

-

They now roam the halls where Web is now ready to explain what's going on.

"I don't exactly see the future, I see every possible futures. Every outcome, all probabilities." Web starts off explaining. "Fury discovered my powers when I first joined S.H.I.E.L.D. Since then, I've been his secret asset. He came to me after the death of the Parker's, to see what I could see. Then the next time I saw him was before the Triskelion was destroyed."

"You're how Fury knew he was going to die?" Peter asks.

"I told him faking his death would be the best outcome for in which he could survive. But I also warned him about how it was HYDRA who was after him, including you, Parker." Web admits to Peter.

"So that's how Fury knew what happened to you." Ava tells Peter.

"Fury knew that if HYDRA found out about me, it could mean the end of everything. So after the Winter Soldier killed him, he got me out of there and have been protecting me ever since." Web finishes explaining.

"Okay, yeah, I'm gonna need some proof before making your word." Peter states.

"There was a eighty-three percent chance you'd want proof." Web informs him before putting her hands out and a spider web starts coming in front of them. "This is the Web of Reality." She tells them.

They look and see dozens of events that has already happen, and including several different Spider-Men.

"Is that me wearing a Ironman suit?" Peter asks seeing himself wearing the Iron Spider-Man outfit swinging around New York.

"Okay, I'm convinced." Luke tells them.

"This is how I knew which keys to put in the box." Web explains.

"So Where's Fury?" Kitty asks. "Can't you just predict where to find him?"

"There's nothing easy about my predictions. It's always possible I've missed something. Remember that when you deal with Bullseye." Web tells them.

"Who's Bullseye?" Doreen asks when the wall explodes and they see the said Bullseye Who wears an all dark outfit with a bullseye on his head.

He has several other HYDRA agents with him and Nick Fury.

"Fury! Are you okay?" Ava asks him.

"Do I look okay, Tiger?" Nick asks them.

"Yep, that's Fury." Peter says, knowing him anywhere.

I'll make this simple. Hand over Madame Web, or Fury never sees the sun again." Bullseye tells them.

"There a chance of a third option?" Kitty asks.

"How about neither?" Peter asks before sending a Taser Web at the container holding Fury and then they all start blasting at them all.

"Fury, let's get you out of here." Peter tells him.

"Forget me, just keep Web safe." Fury says.

"I'll stay with him, Tiger. Go!" Peter tells them and they run off.

"What's the plan now?" Fury asks Peter as they're boxed in. "And what's with the suit?"

"Stark." Peter tries explaining.

-

Ava and the team take Web and finally escape from HYDRA.

"I thought we saw the last of these guys." Laura states.

"This is the last that remains of the organization." Web tells them.

"Okay, we need to find Peter and Fury and get out of here." Luke says.

"What's going to happen next, Web?" Kitty asks their fortune teller.

"I...don't know." Web admits. "Everything is in flux. There are hundreds of possibilities."

"Well, that's both good and bad." Doreen says. "Do we survive any of these outcomes?" She wonders.

"A few we all survive, but not together." Web tells her.

"Less comforting." Doreen says.

"What are our chances with getting you and fury out alive?" Ava asks.

"Right now, it's about fifty-fifty chance." Web tells her.

"I can work with that. I've gone up against worse odds." Ava says and starts coming up with a plan.

"Do I need to remind you guys this place is filled with mind bending traps?" Luke asks.

"I'm trying to forget about that." Kamala tells him.

"Actually, those are what's going to help us." Ava tells them and they see her smile and they don't like it.

-

Peter and Fury are hiding out above Bullseye and his men where they don't see them.

"God, I hope Ava has a good plan by now." Peter says as he's holding Fury up on the ceiling. Did you gain weight or something?" He asks Fury.

"You have super strength." Fury reminds him.

"Yeah, well this place is already messing with my mind where I'm sure the gravity of this place is whacko." Peter states. "Let's hope they got Web somehwere safe." He begs.

"Yo! Over here, losers." They hear Kitty call out and look to see Kitty, Ava and Web standing there. "I'm sorry, it's the fact that you looked that's hilarious." She admits.

"Hey, Bullseye, do you have a arrow I can borrow to see if I can get a bullseye." Ava asks.

"Kill them." Bullseye tells his men and they start chasing after them.

Peter and Fury swing next to them as they all start running.

"You have a plan, right?" Peter asks.

"It's sorta a half baked plan." Ava admits. "Split up ahead." She tells them and they all take different routes.

Kitty runs into a corner and is surrounded by HYDRA.

"Nowhere to run, girl." One of them says and Kitty smiles as the doors close and it starts filling up with water.

"Bye." Kitty says before walking through the walls leaving them.

-

With Web, she took her own route with Peter and they were hiding in a corner where they were spotted.

"I thought S.H.I.E.L.D. agents were supposed to be smart." On of them say. "You chose the dumbest spot to hide in."

"Actually, there's a ninety nine percent chance that we won't be spotted here." Web informs them.

"Your math's off. Because I'm looking at the two of you." He informs them.

"Who said it was you we're hiding from?" Peter asks him when a swarm of insectoloids come flying at them and they begin running.

-

Ava and Nick double backed around back to Bullseye and kicks him in the face.

"Looks like I git a Bullseye." Ava quips.

"You're not wining this, kid." Bullseye informs her while he gets back up. "I've gone toe to toe with Hawkeye."

"Oh, I know." Ava assures him as he calls backup and Ava leads them to the last part of the trap.

They all meet back up while on their way in the halls.

"How we doing, Web?" Ava asks.

"Still a fifty fifty chance." Web informs her as they make it to the room with the Guardian Vines.

"Looks like it's the end of the line." Bullseye states seeing they've finally got them.

"Karen, play them a victory song." Ava asks the A.I. and the flute noise comes flying off their suits and everyone covers their ears.

"Please tell me this isn't the plan." Fury begs of them when the flute has awoken Mechano.

"That is the plan." Ava says and Mechano starts rampaging through the HYDRA agents while the team make their escape.

-

The group make it out and find the quintet is still here and is able to get them out of here.

"You guys did good in there." Fury congratulates them all. "With a few more years of training and experience, I think you all have a spot on the Next Avengers."

"Wait, are you serious?" Kamala asks while hiding her shock and squeal.

"So what do we do now?" Peter asks.

"I need to get Madame Web somehow safe, but you'll be seeing me around." Fury promises them before leaving to where he hid an invisible jet of his own.

"This was the strangest experience I've had in a while." Kitty admits.

"Yeah, the same goes for all of us." Luke assures her.

"Come on, let's get you guys home." Peter says as they start heading in the quinjet.

-

Days later...

Madame Web was brought to a new safe house in a secure location.

She was sitting in the field close to her house when a blue spherical portal opens and a man steps out.

He was a tall, black man who wore armor and had muttonchops. But he held something in his hand that looked like a book of sorts.

"You want to know the probability that you would actually show up?" Web ask the man, known simply as Mar Novu.

Also known throughout the multiverse as the Monitor.

"You have the power that can see through the universe. Not just this universe. But all of them." Monitor tells her.

"I can." Web confirms. "And I know about your Book of Destiny. I need you to leave this universe alone. It has something coming, something that even I can't see ending clearly. A crisis just as bad as the one you're trying to prevent." Web tells him.

"The Crisis I'm trying to prevent is the end of all life." Monitor tells her.

"If you send that book to this world, you loose one of your seven paragons." Web states while turing to look at him. "Your Paragon of Humanity lives on this world." She informs him.

"What makes you so sure that you found him?" Monitor asks of her.

"First, I can see throughout all of reality. I can see all the way up to the beginning of your Crisis. And one of the seven is Peter Benjamin Parker. They call this child Humanity's shield. He is the hero with the purest of will. But unleashing that book will destroy his destiny." Web explains.

"And how will it end for him?" Monitor questions.

"His story has two endings. It's just a matter of if he dies with half of all life, or if he lives with the other half. He has a fifty-fifty percent chance of surviving as of now." Web tells him.

Monitor thinks and sees she has a point.

"Then you need to make sure he stays safe as I still need to search for the other Paragons." Monitor warns her before leaving, taking the book with him.

-

At the Playground, May just got a location on where Norman Osborn has been hiding out and told Coulson.

"Get a team together, we're taking him down." Coulson tells her.

"What about Peter and Ava? Should they get involved?" May asks.

"We'll tell them on the way." Coulson promises.

But what they don't know is they're walking into a trap Norman has set up to get Peter's Spider DNA so he can travel the multiverse.

The game of cat and mouse has begun.
