Chapter 4
When Fury called them, the Avengers didn't know what was up. However, Fury usually didn't ever tell anyone what he wanted, if he did, that would have been a shock. All the Avengers knew was: The Ultimates was going to be there, and maybe the X-men. When Tony crashed into Spidey, all the Avengers stared at them. It probably didn't help that Tony had a cup of hot coffee, very hot coffee. When Spidey hissed in pain, all the Avengers knew that, if Spidey was in pain, it was because of Coffee it must've been very hot.
"Oh no, I'm so sorry," Tony said as he glanced at the young hero, who had hot coffee all over him. "I didn't mean to, actually I didn't even see you." Tony continued. It was like Tony didn't know what to say, other than ramble about how sorry he was. If that was so, they should probably have Spider-man come around a lot more. The Avengers never saw Tony like this.
"It's fine, really it is," Spidey replied before departing from the room for around fifteen minutes. When Spidey came back, he looked at them all before sitting next to Iron-fist who didn't even talk to anyone for a while. "Do you think, you could all stop staring at us?" Spidey asked. Luckily everyone else was now in their suits. Tony was in his Iron Man suit, while Cap was in his and everyone else was. Even Clint and Bucky was there.
It was still a little weird. All of the being in the same room, together. No one knew what Fury wanted, All they knew, was that Fury had them all waiting like a dog's to be allowed in, once their 'owner' allowed them. Of course Fury didn't own them, but it still felt like that. When the rest of the Ultimates came in, all of the Ultimates went to one corner of the room, all the Avengers could hear was hushed voices. None of them wanted to eavesdrop, so they didn't try. Well everyone but Tony.
Tony kept looking at the Ultimates and trying to figure out how he didn't know they worked for SHIELD. He should have figured it out, every criminal they captured went to SHIELD's prison. The Ultimates moved to sit in the other chairs while Spidey climbed the wall to the ceiling to hang upside down.
"So, you're the Ultimates?" Tony asked, trying to make a conversation before having to talk to one-eyed. Tony very wanted Spidey to be the one to answer.
"No, of course, we aren't. We are pretending to be them so we can take over the world!" Spidey replied sarcastically. When all of the Avengers looked at them confused, Nova decided to play along.
"Yeah, we are kree. Ya'know the ones who can become anyone they want too?" Nova added. When the White Tiger glared at them, and when they seen the confused looks on the Avengers faces, they remembered; The Avengers doesn't know them.
"We were only kidding. If we were 'Kree' we wouldn't have told you that, now would we?" Spidey asked, sounding sorry and a little amused.
"How do we know you aren't just backtracking in case the Kree comes after you!" Thor asks, his hammer in his hand, ready to fight the Ultimates thinking they were Kree.
"Because, if they were SHIELD would have known it when we made them a team," Fury said, as he walked in. "And they hated each other when they first meet each other. Just like you all didn't like each other."
"We liked each other, we just.. didn't get along" Tony murmured before looking up. "Wait, you all didn't get along?!" All the Ultimates nodded not knowing where this was heading.
"Yeah, but now we do get along" Power-man stated, before looking at Spidey and Nova who all the Avengers guessed rolled their eyes under their masks.
"Doesn't all the teams?" Coulson asked as he walked into Fury's office, when the Avengers saw him, they looked like they were looking at a ghost.
"Coulson, they're looking at you like you're a ghost." Skye said as she walked in with May and Fitz.
"Probably so, they hadn't seen me since Loki killed me," Coulson replied back easily as if he never died. "The Ultimates and Avengers, in the same room?" Coulson looked at both teams, knowing both of them could get in trouble easily.
"Stop looking like we're a time bomb," Nova said, "We are all humans, you know!.. Well, kind of."
"Kind of?" Captain America asked, knowing that he heard of the Nova Corps somewhere, when Bruce and Thor also seemed very interested, he knew Nova wouldn't be able to get out of this, without answers
"I'm not from Earth- kind of from the Nova Corps, you probably never heard of them, but I'm one of the ones on Earth. or only one on Earth." Nova replied, Nova wanted to get Power-man to answer, but he knew Power-man wouldn't not wanting to get on the Avengers bad side, and the Avengers would be teaming up with the Ultitmate's sometimes.
"You are not from Midgard?" Thor asked, now very interested. Iron-fist could see how this isn't going to end well, not at least when they find out all the Ultimates are teenagers, and just getting driving licenses. Which for some of them, isn't going to well.
"What's Midgard? If its Earth, then yes.." Nova replied, yeah it's going to be very weird sometimes. When the 3 of them started talking about Aliens and other stuff, everyone tuned them out.
Fury always knew these two teams together wouldn't be the best idea, well it would have been, but it would cause a lot of problems since the Ultimates were friends with the X-men, while Stark didn't like the leader of the X-men; Wolverine. Fury knew this was going to be the best way to bring the X-men and the Avengers to work together. So Coulson should have added X-men to the list.
There are a lot of crazy, but those three superhero teams are going to kill him and their handlers.
"Fury, here's the report's on the Ultimates last mission." Coulson handed over the files to Fury. "You shouldn't send them to most of those places, you send them to." Coulson knew who the Ultimates were without their masks. Most of the time, they get sent out on missions were too dangerous for teenagers. Fury knows he's worried one day the Ultimates wouldn't come back because Parker did almost die that one time if Nova didn't get to Spidey in time.
Coulson also knew now, that the Avengers were his guardians he was going to have a harder time keeping his identity secret. Barton has worked with Spidey before, which makes Coulson a little more at ease, but the other Avengers, other than the Hulk, didn't know the Ultimates. But if the report he gotten about Peter, Tony was Peter's new guardian. Which wasn't going to be fun, it was going to be a lot of trouble for Fury, since Fury is the one who wanted them to team-up in the first place.
"They go on missions they can handle." Fury stated, glaring at Coulson.
"You and me both know, they almost die every week, or day, whichever one you want to use."
"They are called 'Superheroes' for a reason."
"You know, we're right here, right?" Nova asked, annoyed that they were talking about this, again.
Coulson could tell the other Ultimates were getting annoyed, he could feel Spider-man's glare on him. Coulson probably would have glared back if the Avengers weren't around, but he couldn't.
"Yes, we do." Fury started, getting angrier by the minute, the Ultimates knew how to get on his nerves as bad as Stark does, most of the time.
"So, Furball, what did you want us to?" Tony asked, he knew this conversation wasn't going to end up good for someone, and he has just met the Ultimates, he wanted to talk to them! Ok, fine, he might want to meet Spidey, more than the others, he'll just never admit that. When the Ultimates laughed at the nickname, he knew he did right about using that nickname.
"I wanted you two to meet. I'm regretting that now." Fury replied, glaring at him, Spidey, and Nova. Tony knew, well he always knew, he would like the Ultimates, because they sure as heck knew how to get on the Fury's nerves. Coulson and his team left to go do something else, and Rogers followed, probably had questions for Coulson.
Fury knew that Tony was going to try to meet up with the Ultimates again, and even may try to learn their names, and he couldn't let that happen. Especially if Stark finds out Spider-man is Peter Parker, the same kid Stark adopted, and Stark just found out the Ultimates went on dangerous missions. World War III might happen because of Iron Man..
"Really?! I Thought we were getting along great!" Spidey exclaimed. Yeah, Fury is in a lot of trouble if World War III starts because of Stark.
"No offense Fury, but you should have known this, but all of us, together, is going to be a team-up!" Tony replied, smirking at Fury. When the Ultimates looked at Stark, Tony didn't know what to do, they were all staring at him.
"What?" Spidey said slowly. He couldn't, no yet. What if the mission Fury puts them on calls for him having to take his mask off? It wouldn't end up to good. Knowing how Tony would freak out knowing Peter was Spider-man, or fanboy over it..
"You know, Avengers and the Ultimates would be awesome together, so why not team up?" Tony asked, he didn't get why Spidey wouldn't want it. Everyone loves the Avengers!
"We don't work with others a lot" The White Tiger stated before glaring at Tony. And it was the truth, they didn't, only if it calls for it. Even if Spidey teamed up with Wolverine once, or more..
Out of all the Ultimates, he would have thought that Spidey would be the one to talk mostly, but it seemed the wall-crawler was holding back. Stark also noticed that the Ultimates also acted like a family, and if you messed with one of them, all of the Ultimate's would be on whoever's back. It was funny in one way, both the Avengers and Ultimates thought of their teams as family, and if anyone tried to do anything, the person in question should run, fast. Tony wanted to team-up with them, but it seems the Ultimates doesn't want to.
"That is not true, and you know it," Fury stated. "Spider-man teamed up with Wolverine a few times, and Spider-man and Nova, teamed up with the Guardians of the Galaxy. And I don't know who else."
"Okay, that may be true, but none of them ever worked for SHIELD." Spider-man said, but it was true, Wolverine doesn't trust SHIELD just like the other X-men and the Guardians of the Galaxy doesn't come to earth all that much.
"That is rubbish" Fury glared at Spider-man "Are you going to talk to me all day or are you going to talk the Avengers?" Fury asked, when none of the Ultimates answered he turned towards the Avengers. "Good luck with your new teammates." When he said that all the Ultimates looked up.
"Spider-man you are going to be still leading your team, while Iron Man leads his, but when you team up together on some of your fights, you better share the role." He didn't look at Spider-man when he said that, he looked at Tony.
"WHAT?!" All the Ultimates yelled in unison. After that, the Avengers couldn't tell what's being said, other than Spider-man putting his face in his hands. Tony took that as the moment to talk to Spider-man.
"Hello," Tony said, as he sat next to Spidey, who looked up for a second before putting his face back in his hands. "Why don't you and your team want to team up with us? The Avengers are like a big happy family.. Most of the time." He heard Spidey mutter something, but couldn't make it out, before Spidey got up and left, with the other Ultimates, Fury must've dismissed them. "Furball, why did you dismiss them?" Tony asked annoyed, he just got to meet the guy he has been stalking for months! And Fury had to dismiss them!
"Don't call me that, and they had a mission to do. And no, you can not go on it with them. Wilson is going with them." Fury answered. Coulson and his team walked out once the fight started, which left Fury to deal with the overgrown child.
"Sam went with them?" Steve asked. Sam did mention that he knew of the Ultimates but never said Fury might have wanted him on their team.
"No, Wade Wilson." Fury replied, all the Avengers excluding Barton, Barnes and Romanoff, looked at Fury like he was crazy. Which Fury probably was, since he sent Wade Wilson, aka Deadpool out on a mission with the Ultimates!
"Why did you send Deadpool out with them?" Bruce questioned. Tony on the other hand was wide-eyed at the Ultimates might be friends with Deadpool.
"Deadpool and Spidey used to not be great friends with each other, or even friends at all. They had a.. small mission together, and they became friends during it." Coulson answered as he walked back into the room.
"Does Deadpool know who Spidey is without the mask?" Tony asked, getting out of the shock. It was weird, Deadpool being friends with Spider-man. Deadpool was an Anti-hero, meaning he could be on the good side or bad side, whichever one he wanted to be on.
"His alter ego? Yes, you could say that, but no, he doesn't know who Spider-man is." Coulson replied, again.
"He has two personalities?" Thor questioned, speaking up for the first time.
"You could say that." Fury said. "Now get the heck out."
~~ ~ Later, at the Avengers tower. ~ ~~
Peter still wasn't in, and it was 9. He hasn't even called! Peter must've got used to the foster home, not caring about where he was. But he lived with the Avengers now, so he couldn't just walk out and come back whenever he felt like it. Peter said he was picking up his friends, and here it is, 5 hours later! Tony would have been on the computer looking up more stuff about Spider-man, but nope, Peter went missing, and now he's worrying about Peter. He couldn't even find Peter's phone! Or where he last had it! A lot of things couldn't make Tony Stark mad, or annoyed, but two things could; not being able to find people, and his tech not working right. When Bruce told him just to give it until 10. But when 10 came, he got a call. He should be happy about it, he knew that, but at least it could have been a video call.
"PETER!" Tony yelled over the phone. When he heard Peter mutter 'dang it' he knew Peter had the phone to his ear.
"Tony, hi," Peter said, before adding "Yell in my ear again, I'm hanging up." Peter knew that Tony must've been angry, because he hasn't been back at the tower all day, since he left to get Danny, but Fury wanted them to come. And Fury is his boss and all..
"Hang up on me, and I'll get Jarvis to lock you in the tower." Tony stated, knowing that'll get to the teenager, or probably would.
"I'm at the hospital with my friend Luke and Danny. My friend had to come to the hospital because he broke his.. ankle?.. Sorry yeah, it was his ankle, I had to ask Luke." Peter replied, but Tony could hear the hushed tones of people talking.
"Ankle? Why didn't you just bring them here! Brucie got his medical degree when everyone kept getting hurt all the time."
"Uh, well- um, it was because we weren't on that side of town-" Peter got cut off when Danny took the phone.
"Peter, the sign says 'No phones allowed.'," Peter's friend said, which got a sigh from Peter. Tony could tell his adopted son was annoyed, when Peter sighed it was of annoyance, or it might be out of boredom.
"It's my.. Guardian," Peter said the last part lower than normal, if the other Ultimate's weren't busy with other things, they would have probably caught Peter.
"Oh- tell him you'll call him back later." The friend said, letting Peter have his phone back. Tony couldn't place where he heard that voice at, but it sounded familiar..
"Hey, I'll have to call you back later. Oh and, I couldn't let Bruce, because.. of reasons." With that Peter hung up.
At 1 A.M was when Peter got back, with Danny and Sam. Ava, Luke and the Cage's were staying at the SHIELD hospital with Billy. Wade had to go to SHIELD's main HQ and fill them in with what's going on, tomorrow it was going to Peter, Danny, and Sam who's going to watch Billy. Billy was young, yes, but he was also a mutant.. Peter's thoughts trailed off as he seen the lights on his and Tony's floor on, Tony couldn't be up right now could he?
"PETER!" Tony yelled, as he came out of his room, with a robot behind him, who if Peter could remember right, he called the robot dummy?
"Tony, what are you doing up?" Peter asked. All of the Ultimate's now knew that Aunt May was dead, and he may have gotten yelled at for being so stupid for not telling them. It paid off in the end because they found out the reasons why he didn't tell them, and it was worth them not getting hurt. Aunt May's funeral was going to be in four weeks, SHIELD set up the date, trying to as helpful as they could.
"Ahh, nothing much, just building things, like always." When Tony saw Peter's friends, he thought Peter was only bringing over Danny, but now Peter had someone else with them. "Who are they?" Tony pointed towards the two other teenagers.
"That is Danny Rand," Peter pointed to Danny, who nodded, then he pointed to Sam. "And this one, is Sam Alexander, who is an idiot."
"You're the one to speak" Sam muttered under his breath, which Danny wanted to laugh at, but didn't.
"Your friends?" Tony asked, eyeing both teenagers. Tony didn't catch what the one named Sam said, but it probably was something about the idiot comment. When Peter nodded, Tony let it slip. "Okay, well, you're both staying here?"
"Yeah, they are, you see, they used to live at my and Aunt May's house, because they didn't have a home here.." Peter answered, not knowing how to not give anything that might point 'Ultimates' at them.
"Really? So she had three teenagers in her house?" Tony asked, but no one said anything to prove him wrong or right.
"No, there was two more of us." Danny answered, knowing Peter won't answer. But who could blame him? Stark was going to have to put up with five teenagers, the same amount of Ultimates.
"FIVE?!" Tony yelled eye wide. "Jarvis, make room for five teenagers.. five!" He knew it could be worst, what if it was six or seven or even eight teenagers?! Yeah, the Avengers are going to have a handful. Maybe they like science also? Tony thought to himself, but they probably didn't.
"You're lucky Luke's parents didn't need to live here, but they live on the other side of town. Soo yeah, you don't have to count them in." All three of them knew that if Tony found out, somehow, that they knew the Cage's, then it wouldn't end well for none of them. Tony might put all of the pieces together and figure out that they are the Ultimates.
"So that means just the five of you?" He didn't want to believe that the same day he meets the Ultimates, Peter brings in four other teenagers, the same amount of Ultimates! But he couldn't believe that, Peter would have told him? Right?Maybe he just had enough friends that look like them? Tony couldn't help the thoughts going through his head, Fury did know Peter also..
"Yeah, but Ava is the only one of us who's not a guy." Sam replied, both Peter and Danny rolled their eyes. The White Tiger aka Ava Ayala, who is like their sister, is also grumpy if she doesn't get 9 hours of sleep.
"One girl?" Tony asked. Okay their not making me feel any easier.. Tony thoughts got cut off by Peter.
"Yeah, but when she comes Gwen and MJ will be hanging out around here a lot." Peter answered as he sat down. Tony noticed all three of the teenagers looked.. sleepy and beat up?
"Why are you all dirty?" It was better than asking why they were bleeding on their arms. Tony knew he shouldn't ask so many questions, but he had to ask.
"We had to help a friend of ours out." "Peter ran into the ground." "Sam started a fight with someone stronger." The three teenagers said in unison, which they all stared at each other, before looking at Tony, who looked confused at them all.
"It was all three of those," Danny answered, knowing the truth may help a little. "Sam started the fight, trying to help our friend, who is younger than all our us, and while the fight was going on, Peter moved our friend in time so he wouldn't get a face plant to the ground, Peter got it instead, that's how everyone ended up taking turns at the hospital." He left out the parts where Wade was also there. They didn't get beat up too badly, and they were healing fast. Danny didn't know if Stark could find out where the Hospital was or who the person was, but he hoped for Billy sake, that Stark wouldn't try to find out.
"Yeah, but when Luke punched the guy in the face, the guy looked like he saw stars!" Sam added in, while Peter rolled his eyes and muttered 'idiot.' which Sam caught onto, "Hey!" Sam yelled.
"Yeah, you are and you know it," Peter replied, and went over to where the soda was. "Tony, where do you store the soda at again?"
"Cabinets if not opened!" Tony replied, still going through the information he got about where Peter's been at all day. "So can I go to the hospital? I'm pretty sure Bruce could help out." Tony knew it was a big risk, and if they were hiding it.. When all 3 of them froze at Tony wanting to go to the Hospital to meet their friend, they knew it was a big mistake adding in that their friend was at the Hospital now, since the Hospital was a SHIELD hospital, 'We are so screwed.' Peter thought.
