Chapter 9

Bruce knew what the Ultimates were going to say, he's seen them talk in the lab, and other spots in the tower, and even in SHIELD HQ sometimes. But he couldn't figure out why they couldn't trust the Avengers, it isn't like the Avengers wouldn't understand. The Avengers are Superheroes, Earth's Mightiest Heroes. They would've understood, well most of them, at least.

Bruce knew for a fact that Tony was going to be the one taking it the hardest.

"Are you going to stop staring at us or what?" Clint replied, raising an eyebrow, they have been in the same room for five minutes now, with the Ultimates staring at Bruce and Clint.

"Dunno, how long did you know?" Sam asked, crossing his arms over his chest. Peter shared a look with Luke, they both know they should shut Sam up before he gotten them all into trouble.

"I just figured it out." Barton said, shrugging his shoulders. Banner on the other hand that just said 'I knew for a lot longer.'

"The lab helped me figure most of it out, then the past week and half helped out figure out the other fifty percent of it." Banner replied. The teens all had the same look on their faces, the looks of disbelief.

"Uh, that's.. unbelievably." Peter said, staring at them.

"Well, now we won't have to lie to them anymore." Sam stated with a grin before putting his helmet (bucket) back on.

"Webs, we gotta go soon, Fury wanted us to meet Coulson in fifteen." Luke told Peter, before giving Nova a look of annoyance.

"It's good to know we don't have to lie to everyone at the tower now." Danny said, giving the two Avengers small smiles before putting his mask back on with the other Ultimates.

"We'll see you later, okay? Don't tell Tony, or anyone else please?" Peter asked them, making most of the other Ultimates stare at the two Avengers even more than when they were at first.

"Okay, but you got to tell Tony someday." Bruce told them, Clint nodded along, as if saying he agreed with Bruce.

"Okay!" All the Ultimates said in unison running out of the room, with Power-man yelling "WE HAVE 2 MINUTES!" and Sam saying "You got to be kidding me!".

Bruce just stood there, giving Clint a confused look, which Clint told Bruce that Coulson's office was on the other side of the base.

"Coulson doesn't like it when Agents are later either, so yeah." Clint added.

"I thought Coulson died." Bruce said in a low mumble, Clint almost didn't hear it.

"He did, but they used alien blood on him to.. well you know, be alive? I'm not a scientist. ya'know? And you would've if you were level 7." Clint answered.

"Aren't you level 7?" Bruce asked, remembering seeing Clint's SHIELD badge which he seen during the Battle of New York.

"Yeah, Nat is 6 through." Clint answered, sitting down on a desk.

"She didn't know?"

"Nope, only level 7 and up knew."

"She must've wanted to kill him when she saw him."

"You have no idea." Clint told him honesty, remembering how Natasha was speaking in Russian. Clint learned Russian along time ago, before he even met Natasha, but it doesn't mean he knows it all. He couldn't understand what some of the words Nat said, but they probably weren't pretty.

"You knew, didn't you?" Bruce asked, looking at Clint as if he knew the answer.

"Yeah, I knew. I'm sorry I couldn't tell any of you."

~Time skip~

It was ten when the Ultimates gotten back to the tower, but lucky for them they had Bruce and Clint on their side to help. Bruce made it where Jarvis told Tony that Peter, Luke, Danny, Ava, and Sam all gotten back around six PM, while Clint called Fury to ask where the teens were. Bruce was standing behind him, listening to Fury and Clint argue.

"I told you, Parker or his friends aren't here." Fury told him, in a tone that stated it was a fact, even if both Bruce and Clint knew it wasn't the truth.

"Fury, we both know that Parker is Spiderman, Luke is Power-man, Danny is Iron-fist, Sam is Nova, Ava is White Tiger. Do I need to add the 13 year old also?" Clint asked, with a smirk as he heard Fury sigh.

"About time, I was getting sick of you Avengers not knowing. You know, you Avengers are supposed to be smart enough to figure this stuff out." Fury said, in his usual tone of voice.

"That's the thing, only me and Banner know." Barton replied, his smirk long gone. Barton could only imagine Fury raising his eyebrow at the phone, as if he expected more from the Avengers.
"You hadn't answered our question yet." Bruce stated, cutting off Fury's reply.

"They're on a mission with Wolverine in Canada." Fury told them, causing them to frown. Why were teens in Canada with Wolverine, the same Wolverine Tony Stark dislikes.

"Why?" Clint asked, confusion shown in his voice as he held the phone in his hand.

"The X-men would only team up with the Ultimates, no other team. And we needed the X-men for this mission." Fury answered, before hanging up on them, causing Clint to groan and Bruce to shake his head.

Both Bruce and Clint knew it was 9, by the time they got back it probably would be 1 AM in the morning. Just what they need five teenagers, and Tony Stark having a fight.. At 1 in the morning, waking everyone up at the tower.

Not to add, the last time they didn't come back until late Tony had them doing chores for a whole week, they probably are still doing those chores. Who knows? The Ultimates better hope that Fury helps them out. If not, everyone's doomed. The last fight Tony and Peter had, Tony made the mistake of bringing Peter's father into the fight, which ended up with Peter leaving and the other Ultimates following.

For the next five hours Bruce helped Tony and Hank in the labs, while T'Challa, Natasha, Clint, Barnes, and Cap all went to do a mission in Texas. Leaving Bruce alone with Tony and Hank, who was talking about the Ant-man suit, which left Bruce going over his projects.

"Jarvis, is Pete in his room or living room? And remind me to move Luke, Danny and Peter out of the same room, I keep finding the covers all over the floor and them all yelling at the TV that somehow always on Football." Tony told Jarvis as he washed his hands.

"Mister Parker and his friends hasn't been back for 9 hours and 37 minutes." Jarvis responded, causing Tony to frown and turn around go to the door.

"Guys, I'll be back in a minute." Tony told them before leaving the room to go to his floor that housed the teens, him and Pepper.

As he gotten there, he looked in the living room, kitchen, bedrooms, and after he searched all those rooms he went back to the living room area. He sighed, how could they do this again? Two times in one month. As he sat down on the chair, he heard the elevator door ding and the sounds of sleepy teenagers.

Sam was walking like a zombie towards to couch, not even trying to notice Tony standing near him. While Ava was glaring daggers at Sam, who just fell on the couch with a grunt.

"Tony, uh.. Hi?" Peter said, looking just as tired as the rest of the teens, who looked like they hadn't slept for 24 hours.

"Where have you been for the last 10 hours? I have been looking for you for the past 30 minutes!" Tony replied, giving Peter an annoyed look.

"Mister Stark, we're been on a school trip to Washington for the past 4 hours, and the other 6 hours we had been broken down for an hour or two." Ava answered, glancing at him and Peter before going to the other couch and laying down.

"And the idiot was Flash!" Sam complained, face flat down on the pillow, muttering things into the pillow about who knows what.

"We found him in a barn." Luke continued.

"And he was an idiot!" Sam added again, making Luke, Ava, Peter and Danny role their eyes at him.

"Sam, Flash isn't all that bad." Peter told Sam, making Sam get up and walk to him, to say:

"Pretty sure he is." Sam said flatly, before going back to flop down on his stomach on the couch.

"Just ignore him." Peter told Tony, who just nodded dumbly.

"Where the heck have you all been for the last, I don't know, all day?" Tony asked again, getting groans again.

"Fine, we were with a guy with bad manners on a plane flying to Canada." Peter answered dryly, getting an annoyed look from Tony, who didn't believe him. But he told the truth, Wolverine isn't all that nice, so he could be considered a 'guy with bad manners'.

"Yeah, you're all not allowed to leave the tower for two weeks," Tony said, getting a grateful "YES, THANK YOU!" from Sam, and annoyed looks from everyone else. "Sam, you're happy about getting grounded?" Tony asked the teen, who looked up and grinned.

"Why not? It's much better than having to go to work for the next two weeks!" Sam answered cheerfully.

"Yeah, like helping my mom and dad out sometimes is so hard." Luke replied sarcastically.

"Well, I was talking about the other job." Sam said, defensively.

"Hey Tony, Hank just realized something about the Ant-man suit-.. oh." Bruce said, walking in until he seen the sleepy teens and an angry Tony Stark. "Tony, it might be best if you let them go to sleep before yelling at them about how late it is?"

"Bruce, you never believe what kind of lie they tried to tell me. One was they were at Washington, which is over 3 hours away, and then they tried one with Canada saying they 'were on a plane with a bad mannered guy to Canada." Tony said mimicking Peter's voice. Bruce was just staring at Peter as he moved to lay down on one of the many covers that somehow managed to get to the living room area from his bedroom.

"Really? Well, you should let them sleep before asking them anything else, they look like they could die from sleepiness." Bruce answered, watching as Luke also gotten down on the floor, not to far from Peter, and also covered up and feel asleep, while Danny took the other couch that wasn't being used by Ava or Sam, Bruce knew the teens probably had a rough day as it already was, no need to add Tony to that list yet, Tony just nodded when he saw the teens was no longer awake and left with Bruce back to the labs where Hank was waiting for them to get back.

"Brucie?"

"Yes Tony?"

"Do you know where they hide those freaking covers?"

"No Tony, I do not know where they hide their covers."

"Huh, not even Jarvis can find where they hide them, or get them.."
