Luckily for Peter the next morning there wasn't much happening no super villain decided to give him a hard time and all the Web-Warriors had to deal with were pettie thefts. After morning patrol ended Peter met Ben at the coffee shop as they planned to and he told him everything he had learned at the hospital.

"Ok, but why would someone kidnapped a bunch of babies anyway that just doesn't make any sense." Ben took a sip of his coffee trying to think of a reason.

"I know but I'm sure as soon as we figure out who that guy with the scar was we might be able to find out who took them and why they were taken." Peter stared into his cup for a long moment while Ben just watched him, sighing he got out of his chair and headed for the door.

"Well Punk, let's not waste anymore time."

Peter smiled, threw his empty cup in the trash and followed Ben out the door.

"Thanks Ben, for helping me."

"You did the same for me."

...

Unfortunately their plan did not go as they had hoped, half of the families would not even speak to them while the other half gave them information they already had. Now the two were sitting on a park bench trying to think of a different plan. Then suddenly Ben thought of something.

"Peter I think I have an idea."

"What is it Ben? What do you have?" Peter asked as he sat up straight

"What if we use the S.H.I.E.L.D database? After all S.H.I.E.L.D has information on pretty much everyone. We'll have no problems finding out who that guy was?"

"That won't work Ben. We'll need the hospital security camera footage in order to have a image of the guy."

"What about that officer Uncle Ben was partners with?"

"I don't know Ben...Derek already took a big risk giving me those files. And right now I want nothing more than to find Bryan and Teresa, but I don't want Derek to get in trouble for it."

"Peter, we have to at least give it a shot. We need that footage if we're ever going to have any chance at finding your siblings."

Peter thought for a moment, Ben was right if they ever intent on finding out who that guy was they're going to need the hospital footage.

Finding out who that guy was might just be what we need to find Bryan.

Peter took a deep breath and stood up. "Alright let's go."

Back at the police station Peter once again met with Rob at the front desk

"Hey kid! Back again?"

Peter opened his mouth to speak but Rob stopped him

"You don't even have to say it Peter I already know why you're here. Derek's in his office go on in. I really hope you find him."

Peter stood there shocked How-how the hell did he know!

"H-how did you know about that?"

Rob laughed "It's like we all say Peter. You're just like Ben, most of us here already knew you'd find out about Bryan on your own and would start your own investigation on it. Ben never gave up searching not even after he retired, he always kept his promise to your parents and never gave in even when the odds were against him. He just kept on going. Plus Dr Gordon called Derek last night. Go on in he's waiting for you."

Right, of course Dr Gordon would contact Derek after my interview, but still...Uncle Ben you never gave up, so neither will I.

Peter led Ben the way to Derek's office and went right in, there was no need to knock since he was expecting them. Derek smiled at Peter and got up to hug him Peter returned the hug and the three men sat at his desk. Derek wasted no time and got to the point.

"So what did you learn?"

Peter told Derek everything he learned and his suspicion about the scarred man and needing the video surveillance tape from that night. Derek frowned at that part and both boys looked nervous hoping he wouldn't say "no".

"Unfortunately I don't think you're going to find anything useful, especially since there is a problem with the actual footage."

"What do you mean there's a problem with the footage?"

Derek got up and went to another dresser on the far side of the room, rummaging through one of the drawers he pulled out a disk and popped it into the small T.V. on the wall.

"See for yourself."

There was static at first before an image of the inside of a nursery came into view. It showed the room as Dr. Gordon had described it, every single crib was filled and in the back sat the one that held Peter and Bryan, Peter sucked in a shaky breath. It also showed the outside hallway and a few people passing by before skipping to where Dr. Gordon arrived looking inside then talking with nurse Lynd. He left and there were about ten minutes more of just people just passing by, until it came to the point where the scarred man was about to appear. And that's when it started to get weird, all of a sudden the video became very blurry so much that you couldn't even make out the face of the man that had just came into view and stopped right in front of the glass window. It was like that the whole time he was there, but when he left the screen went back to normal for only a few minutes before completely going black. And it stayed that way for exactly fifthteen minutes. The screen came back on and Bryan was gone.

Peter and Ben stared at the video in confusion.

"It was obviously hacked! Why didn't you get someone to recover the original footage?" Ben sounded annoyed.

Derek took the disk out and turned off the T.V. before sitting back at his desk.

"We did. We went to every single hacker we knew and then some and none of them could recover the missing footage or even get an image of the guy's face. Some of them got a virus that erased absolutely everything on their computer system...Look whoever did this is way smarter than most people I know. I dare say they might even be as smart as Tony Stark."

That right there! That was the excuse he needed to get permission to borrow the tape. Along with his neighbors Derek also knows that Peter is Tony Stark's 'intern' and though he hated having to lie to him, Peter needed that disk.

"Um...Derek, I think I might know someone who can help."

Derek stared at him confused before realizing what he meant.

"Peter, I don't think Tony Stark will approve of you using his tech to-"

"To help find kidnapped children whose families are missing them! Families who are scared and worried about where they might be, what's happening to them or if they're even still alive or not!" Peter just about shouted taking the officer by surprise.

Derek opened his mouth to speak then closed it not sure what to say. He knew it was against the rules to be giving someone this kind of information even for a case that long went cold and he had already taken a big risk giving Peter those files, he wasn't sure what would happen if he gave Peter the disk. But Derek knows Peter and he knows that the kid won't give up until he agrees. Heh. He gets that from May I'm sure of it. Sometimes he can be as stubborn as her.

Derek grinned. "You're just as stubborn as May you know that."

Peter grinned back "She taught me well." May had taught Peter all kinds of ways of getting what he wants and if he was to bring out his secret weapon "The Eyes" there's no saying 'no' to him.

"Knowing that I'm not going win this one...Alright, but remember don't tell anyone it was me and if the chief finds out don't worry, I'll work things out with him."

"Thank You Derek." Peter got up and hugged him, Derek whispered in his ear "You are one sly kid Peter."

Ben stared at Peter for a long moment as they left the police station. "Ok. That was way too easy! How did you do that?"

Peter smirked "I learned from the best. Aunt May knows how to get what she wants and she's good at it. And even though she's taught me all her tricks I still can't say 'no' to her myself. That's how good she is."

Ben laughed "Wow. Remind me never to try and argue with her." Both boys laughed as they ducked behind an ally changing into their spider suits and web swung to the Triskelion.

Inside the lab Spider-man and Scarlet Spider began to work on hacking the footage, but as the system began loading. A loud and stern voice beamed throughout the room.

"And as you two are waiting for whatever it is you're doing, you can head down to the briefing room."

Both spiders jumped and turned to see Director Nick Fury standing the doorway.

"Agent Coulson will give you the details of your next assignment. Now go!"

"Yes sir!" they both ran out without another word and the door shut behind Nick.

No one noticed the familiar skull and tentacles insignia appear on the screen.

And yes I believe Ben has earned right to refer to Peter's uncle as Uncle Ben
And Uncle Ben and Tony Stark aren't the only teachers Peter has.
