Tony sat alone in the conference room a little while longer, turning all of this new information over in his head. Peter had seemed pretty torn up when he had found out Harry was released from prison, there's probably some bad history between those two. Tony spun around in his chair, "Jarvis bring up everything we have on Peter Parker."

In seconds the AI had everything related to Peter from parking tickets to his birth certificate pulled up on the computer table. Tony began searching and reading and learning about the newest Avenger.

Tony swiped away at the holographic newspaper clippings, making the less important ones disappear, he tossed school transcripts, although he could tell from those the kid was pretty smart, parking tickets, test scores, his voting registration. Finally and image and a headline caught his attention. Using his hands he enlarged the article.

"Gwen Stacy, fell to death at New York's Power Plant. Interesting." Tony kept reading, same time last year when Electro attacked, Tony realized, "Girlfriend of two years to Peter Parker."

Tony sighed, Harry must've been the one that killed Gwen, which is why Peter was so upset at his release and the fact that when he mentioned her before he cut himself off. Tony shook his head, and sighed. Of course he could be completely wrong about this, it was just a guess, but Tony had a pretty good feeling about this one.

Interrupting him from his thoughts, the door behind him opened, "Tony Stark."

He turned around and there was Director Fury standing right in front of him. Tony groaned, "Jarvis what did I say about letting people in?"

The AI hesitated, "Nothing. Sir."

Tony opened his mouth to correct the robot but then realized Jarvis was right and he never said to not let people in. He focused his attention back onto Fury, "What do you want? To explain why you can't help us? Because I think there's a lot more to this than you think."

Fury half smiled, "Mr. Stark I have come here to tell you that I, along with Agent Barton and Romanoff, are in your full service. The council of course doesn't agree with me in the case of pursuing Mr. Osborne's release so we have to do this quietly."

"Uh huh. Why didn't you just say the before?" Tony responded, standing up from his chair and powering off the computer, hopefully before Fury noticed what he was reading. He wasn't sure what Fury was doing just yet.

"The council was listening, making sure I was staying out of the way." Fury answered, calmly. He began pacing around the room, "Mr. Stark, Mr. Osborne is a very real and serious threat." He reader a hand into his signature black trenchcoat and pulled out a picture. The image showed Harry along with another man, just before entering Oscorp, it was right after Harry was released from prison, "This man," Fury continued, "Is Daniel Sharp. A very important member of H.Y.D.R.A. If he and Mr. Osborne are collaborating, this will mean very bad things. For all of us."

After his emotional and slightly embarrassing talk with the Captain, Peter wandered around the halls of the hundreds of floors of the Stark building.

Most if them were all the same, office space, meeting halls, a cafeteria, another training room, storage, and multiple rooms that were locked or empty. It had been hours of this aimless wandering before Peter came upon something actually interesting. A lab. More specifically, Tony Stark's private lab, although he wasn't alone. Peter's enhanced senses told him that much.

"Hello? Anybody here?" Peter called out, although he wasn't really paying attention for an answer, instead Peter was running his hands over all this technology that he's only ever dreamed about. Computers, microscopes, chemicals, and a bunch of other things the Peter couldn’t even begin to understand at first glance. He picked up a piece of metal that was shaped like a throwing knife and held it up to eye level. It didn’t look like a normal metal, it glistened a bluish tone and looked ten times as sharp as any regular knife.

Suddenly the hairs on the back of Peter’s neck stood up, and on instinct he jumped up onto the ceiling and looked down. A knife that was similar to the one he still clutched in his hand flew directly where Peter had been standing three seconds ago.

“Oh my god. Peter what the hell are you doing in here?” It was Natasha Romanoff, one of S.H.I.E.L.D.S best agents, if it weren’t for Peter’s enhanced senses, he would be dead right now.

“Agent Romanoff, what are you doing here? And why did you throw a deadly knife at me?” Peter inquired, jumping down from his perch on the ceiling.

“Sorry I just came down here to pick up a few of Tony and Banner’s prototype projects for Fury to check out. Tony said no one else would be down here. It is supposed to be a secret lab. You just surprised me. And please just call me Nat.”

Peter nodded suspiciously, "So I'm just supposed to believe that I surprised S.H.I.E.L.D.S top agent, Natasha Romanoff, or Black Widow and she then responds by trying to kill me with a ninja star?"

Nat tried not to smile, "You're pretty smart, Parker, no I guess that was probably the worst lie I've ever told, but considering we're on the same team --"

"Wait, we're on the same team? I thought Fury wasn't allowing you and the other guy to help us." Peter asked, confused.

"Fury said that as a cover, the rest of the agency officials don't think you're worth all the trouble." Nat responded, turning back to where she was before she threw a ninja star at Peter's face. She stood in front of a computer which was downloading some files that looked pretty secret to Peter. 

"What are you doing anyway?" Peter asked, Agent Romanoff completed the download and snatched the flashdrive from the computer. 

"That's classified information, Mr. Parker." She placed the flashdrive in her pocket of her black suit and headed towards the down of the lab, her red hair flicking Peter's face as she turned away, "A piece of advice Peter, don't trust anyone. Not S.H.I.E.L.D, not Fury, not me, not even the rest of the Avengers. Only turst yourself."

Peter watched as she left the lab, taking files that Tony probably didn't want her to have and leaving him all alone questioning why he was here in the first place.

***********

Now that he was out of prison, Harry couldn't wait to take over what was left of Oscorp and destory Peter Parker but Daniel Sharp was adament about patience, "When the time is right we will attack" and blah blah blah. Harry hated the man. Though Sharp had busted him out of prison his bank account was slowly thinning out as Sharp and H.Y.D.R.A. built more and more weapons and tanks, and machines that Harry didn't even what they did. As annoying as it was, Harry knew that his position that he held wasn't safe, any wrong move and he would be the test dummy they used for their weapons. 

His shoes clicked on the linoleum tiles of the hallways. He reached the office that Sharp now occupied, it used to be a conference room that his father had used but now it belonged to the head of H.Y.D.R.A. Harry rapped his knuckles on the dark wood office door, "Come in, " a voice responded. 

Harry stepped into the office, it was dark, only a few lamps lit the area. The multiple windows located in the office were coated a dark black paint, no one could see inside and at night the office was invisible from the outside. "You wanted to see me?"

"Ah yes, Harry Osborne. We're almost finished planning our attack on the Stark building and you will be happy to know that our target is the same as yours." 

Harry was confused momentarily, "Peter Parker? Why are you going after him? I thought you just wanted the Avengers?" 

"Ah, but Parker is an Avenger now. We capture him the rest will follow, try to save him and the whole shebang. Plus you can have your revenge." Sharp said, leaning back into his office chair, placing his feet on the mahogany desk in front of him. 

Harry smirked, "What's the plan?"

It was Sharp's turn to smirk, "Oh Peter, I can't tell you that."

"What?You already basically told me what the plan was! Minus the details..but still why can't I know?" Harry exclaimed. 

It was Sharp's turn to smirk, "Because how do I know that I can trust you?" 

"I've giving you everything you've asked for! Money! Material! An Army! What more do I have to do to gain your trust!?" Harry screamed.

"Harry, if I tell you how we're getting into Stark's building how can I trust you not to go in by yourself and kill Peter Parker first? I need him alive. I need him to get the others. Once I have the others, it's then and only then that you can have Parker. But until then you can't touch him. That is why I can't tell you our plans. You'd mess them up." 

Harry shook his head, his brown hair, now cut back to the way he liked it, fell in his face, and spat angrily at Sharp, "Fine, but just remember, I'm the one with the money, I'm the one with the supplies, I'm the one in charge here." Harry turned on his heel and left, slamming the office door behind him. 

Sharp smiled, "Not anymore, I'm in charge now."
