Nurse Lynd's Story

Peter looked up from his notebook at Dr. Gordon

"That's it?"

Dr. Gordon nodded "Yes. That's all I remember and it's like I said it's not much to go on."

Peter signed again "Is there anyone else who can give me some more insight on what happened?"

Dr. Gordon thought for a moment "Well, you can try Miss Lynd she was in charge of the nursery along with Mrs. Keller."

"Ok...um thank you for your time." Peter got up and shook Gordon's hand as they left his office.

He pointed in the direction of the nursery and Peter headed off thanking the doctor once again for his time, he wished him luck and closed his office door. As Peter made his way to the nursery he rewinded everything Dr. Gordon had said and although the story was the same he did get one new thing out of it.

Ok...so all of the lights went off at once for about twenty minutes before the alarms sounded and by that time Bryan and the others were gone. So during that short time span when the lights were off someone snuck into the nursery and stole ten babies. But who and why? And how did they manage to make off with so many babies in such a short time without getting caught? Not to mention the babies all would have been crying. How could anyone not hear it? Who ever did it must of had a way to keep the babies calm long enough to get out of the hospital. But how would they have gotten out in only twenty minutes?! That makes no sense! Ok Peter calm down let's first try and figure out "who". Then we'll find out the "how" and "why".

Peter arrived at the nursery and turned his attention to the room full of tiny cute babies. He starred inside trying to imagine what it looked like fifthteen years ago when he and Bryan were in there.

He jumped when a hand touched his shoulder and spun around to who he was hoping is the nurse he needs to talk to next.

"Oh! I'm sorry young man I didn't mean to startle you." She had blonde hair done up in a low ponytail. Yep. Definitely her. Peter thought.

"Are you looking for someone specific or just came here to see all the cute babies?" She giggled her smile was warm and friendly.

Peter felt bad because he knew that warm, friendly smile would fade as soon as he told her why he was here.

"Um, no actually you wouldn't happen to be Miss Lynd would you?" Peter asked cautiously

"Why yes that's me! And what is it I can do for you young man?" She asked

Peter took a deep breath and said it "My name is Peter Benjamin Parker and I am here doing an investigation on the kidnapping fifthteen years ago. My twin brother was one the kidnapped children and I am looking for information that might help me to find him. His name is Bryan William Parker."

Nurse Lynd's smile faded but Peter held up a hand before she could say anything.

"And I know that you do not have to tell me anything and can have me kicked out instead. But I ask you to at least hear me out first...

Nurse Lynd nodded and lead Peter to one of the small lunchrooms and out of the open. She sat him down at the table, took a seat across from him crossing her arms over her chest.

"Alright...Peter was it? Give me one good reason why I should tell you anything."

He took a deep breath and pulled out the picture and two bears from his backpack.

"Well..." his voice cracked "I-I'm pretty much alone now and the only family I have let is my aunt. I was always so afraid that once she's gone I won't have any family left..." He picked up Byran's bear "Until yesterday when I found this in a box in our attic. When I found out I had a twin brother I was feeling all kinds of emotions. But the most out of all of them was saddest and fear wondering where he is right now." tears fell from his cheeks as he tried so hard to explain. "I...I just...want to find him...I want to bring him back home so that...so me and Aunt May...so I can have my family back again."

Everyday in Peter's life ever since his parent's death he's always kept his emotions locked away for so long, trying hard to keep a smile every single day so that no one will ever see how much he's really hurting inside. But when he became Spider-Man it just got more and more difficult to hide his pain that some nights he would just cry in bed. And now while trying to find someone who was taken away from him, someone that just might be...no someone who is still alive. And this nurse might not tell him what he needs to find him.

"I-I don't know what I did wrong why so many people are always being taken away from me. I try so hard to be a good son, friend, nephew, and student. But it just seems like anyone even remotely close to me...gets hurt...or..." Peter looked up at her with pleading tear filled eyes "Please help me find my family!"

Nurse Lynd starred at Peter shocked unsure of what to say, she can see all the pain and distress in his eyes. It took a moment before she could even think of what to say. She gave Peter some time to calm down making him some hot chocolate and giving him a few cookies from the cabinet. After Peter had taken a few minutes to breath and dry his tears, Lynd agreed to talk and he pulled out his notebook as she began to explain.

"After Dr. Gordon left I went back my conversation with Annie, it wasn't anything important just gossip. About a few minutes later a guy came up to the nursery window and just stood there staring at the babies. Assuming he was a parent I asked if he was looking for someone specific. He said no and told me that he was here because one of his friends had injured himself a few days ago and that he was asked to pick him up. I wasn't sure what that had to do with why he was in front of the nursery so I asked him why he was there. And he said that he wanted to see the babies before he leaves because he and his wife were deciding on whether they wanted kids or not. I didn't see anything wrong with that since most couples who want to have kids like to know what it's like and sometimes while at the hospital visits the nursery to see the final product and get some advice from new parents. Which is probably why he stayed so long." Lynd paused for a moment and Peter spoke.

"How long did he stay?"

"About ten maybe fifthteen minutes."

Exactly the same amount of time the lights were off. Could it be...maybe?

"What did he look like?"

"He was tall about 6'4 muscular, with short black hair and brown eyes, and he had a scar on the left side of his face, rather large but faded enough where it wasn't too noticeable." Lynd thought for a moment "About half an hour after he left all the lights went off and when they came back on I went in to check on the babies but half of them were gone. I hit the alarm and ran as fast I could to get security."

"You didn't see or hear anyone go in or out of the nursery?" Peter asked

"No, and no one was in there when the lights went out."

Arugh! That doesn't make sense! No normal person is that fast or quite! Not even if- Peter froze if they had help...But still no normal people are that stealthy...no normal...what...what if they...weren't normal.

"I'm sorry Peter but that's all I know." Lynd apologize

"Don't be it was still helpful thank you for talking with me...and I'm sorry about that little...breakdown." Peter's cheeks flushed

Lynd smiled and got up putting both hands on his shoulders "It's ok you were upset it's understandable, I'm glad I was able to help and I hope you find your brother. You seem like a very smart and determined kid and I'm sure you'll succeed."

Peter thanked her once more and left. Once outside he ducked into an ally and slipped on his Spider-Man suit (a new one Tony Stark had made him). He had gotten new information and he needed to get home fast to go over it.

And web swinging is the fasted way to travel.

When he got close to his neighborhood he hid changed out of his suit and ran the rest of the way back home. Once inside his S.H.I.E.L.D communicator went off.

Argh! I don't have time for this! Sorry Fury I'll have to call you back!

Peter switch off his communicator and stuffed it in his pocket knowing that Fury would call back pissed. But he didn't care he was so close to figuring out who might have taken Bryan and the others. He ran up to his room locked the door and sat at his computer pulling out his notebook.

Ok now! What have I learned? Me and Bryan were the last babies to be put in the nursery. We were put in a larger crib together. Two hours later Dr. Gordon came to check on us after hearing the nursery was full. Talked with Nurse Lynd about us being in the same crib. A man with a scarred face showed up a few minutes after Dr. Gordon left and he stayed watching the babies for about twenty minutes the same amount of time the lights were out. During that time someone snuck into the nursery and kidnapped exactly ten infants including Bryan. But no one saw or heard anyone go in or come out the nursery and there were no crying neither. Twenty minutes later all the light came back on and ten infants were missing. Now the questions are who and how. No normal human is that fast or stealthy...unless they had special training, and if I had asked Natasha this she would agree. So whoever did this was specially trained to do so. And that scarred face guy...could he have had something to do with this? He was watching the babies for the exact amount of time the lights went off and it happened only half an hour after he left. No one else showed up before then. No doubt he had something to do with the kidnapping. Was he sent to pick out which babies were to be taken? That's the only close to logically reason I can think of...but it's still not enough to figure out who exactly he was and why. I have a good clue on how but that's it. I still need more information. I need to at least find out who that guy with the scar was.

Peter yawned Maybe I should wait until tomorrow and me and Ben can go and talk with the other families maybe they can give us something to help us find out who that guy was.

Peter shut down his computer put all the files back in his backpack and went to bed, both bears sitting on top his dresser he stared at them for a long moment before drifting off to sleep.

Bryan. Teresa. I'll find you I promise.
