Protecting The Ones You Love(Part 1)
Peter's P.O.V
I was walking out of Midtown High after an interesting decathlon meeting. MJ had been extremely hard on everyone to be the best they could be. She was a good captain. I was walking down the street to the car Happy was waiting in when I got a phone call. Thinking it was dad, I answered without question.
"Hey dad, what do you need?" The voice on the other end of the phone made me freeze in shock. The hair on my arm and neck stood up on end.
"Hey Pedro." Only one person called me that name. Toomes. Also known as The Vulture. The thing that was going through my mind was; what is going on? How did Toomes find out who I was and get my number?
"What do you want Toomes?" I tensed up with anger. This was defiantly the last person I wanted to hear from. Wasn't Toomes in prison though?
"Well I have a proposal for you Peter Parker." I scoffed. What proposal could he possibly have? He is the bad person. Everyone knows that heroes don't listen to the bad people.
"Aren't you in prison? How the hell did you get my number?" I could hear Steve saying language in the back of his mind.
"I escaped. That is not important now. Now to that proposal." How was Toomes so calm? What is he up to?
"I'm not doing anything for you Toomes." You could see the anger radiating of from my tensed form. People were looking at me with weird looks.
"Are you sure about that Parker? Or should I say Stark?" How did he know? How did he find out I was a Stark? The only person that knew that were Ned, The Avengers, My dad, and my papa. MJ knows as well. It is somewhat creepy how she knows stuff that I never tell her about.
"How do you know my real name Toomes?" I was getting anxious at this point. Knowing Toomes, it was something serious.
"Not important Pedro. I have some solid feedback that would help you listen to my demands."
"Don't call me that and I highly doubt that. What could you possibly have against me that would make he listen to what you have to say?"
"Well, let's just say that if you don't listen to me, I will blow up Avengers Tower with everyone in it. And doesn't your whole family live there?" I could feel my heart stop in my chest for a moment. What?
"There is no way you can blow up Avengers Tower. Friday runs scans all the time, she would know if there was a bomb even near the tower."
"Well I have eyes on the tower right now? Do you really want to test that theory Peter?" No, I really didn't. Friday would have informed dad and he would have told me. So Friday and my parents must not know. Since this is Toomes, I don't want to take any chances.
"Fine, what do you want me to do?" I hated doing stuff for bad people but this is my family's lives on the line. I couldn't risk their lives knowing I could have helped in some way.
"Well, it's nothing major. I want to get back at you for the entire year of my life wasted rotting in that prison. It has been what, a year? That is a lot to catch up on Pedro. Not to mention I want to rid the world of super heroes like yourself. What is it going to be Pedro? You or your families lives?" I knew if I didn't follow through with this, Toomes would do something bad. Very bad. I couldn't let that happen. I'm gonna have to fight him when I get there.
"When and where Toomes?"
"How about that abandoned warehouse in Queens? Better be here around 5:30 or a lot of people will be hurt Pedro." The line went dead and I let out a breathe that I didn't know I was holding.

I'm pretty sure my Dad and Papa could tell something was off with me. I mean, I usually give everyone a big hug when I get home but I just went straight to my room. I had to get the Iron Spider Suit since I left it home for the day. I was able to get my dad to help with the suit without him finding out my identity. I was about to put the mask on when they came into my room.
"Peter, can we talk to you about something?" I was lucky my Spidey sense decided to tell me that someone was opening my door so I had time to hold my mask in my hands behind my back. If you don't know, Tony Stark is my dad and Stephen Strange is my papa. (Didn't know if I should hyphen their name as Stark-Strange so I kept their names the same.)
"Yea, dad what's up?" I only had like 30 minutes to get to where Toomes was or who knows what he will do.
"Well we noticed you were a little off today. Wanted to see if you were okay?" I could see that papa noticed my tense form.
"Oh yea, I'm fine. Just not a good day you could say." It wasn't if that wasn't obvious.
"Well do you want to talk about it?" I cringed at the concern in papa's voice. I feel guilty for not telling them everything but I don't want them knowing I'm spider-man. Dad would probably have a fit.
"No, not really. Just need time to myself." I looked at the clock and saw I only had 10 minutes. I was planning to sneak out but now I have to make an excuse.
"Well, I should get going. I'll see you guy's later okay?" I tried to slip out of the room before they questioned it but with my luck, I was stopped by papa.
"Where could you be going right now?" Crap. I needed to come up with a lie quickly. Think Peter Think.
"Umm Ned's?" The look my dad gave me made me shudder. It was one of his 'don't you dare lie to me looks'. You know kind of like the looks you get from you mom or grandparents when you get in trouble. (Oh, I hate that look. My grandparents give it to me whenever I do something bad, which is frequent.)
"I know for a fact that is a lie. You told me two days ago that Ned was going to visit family for a week and that he left yesterday. The truth please." Crap. How did I forget that? I couldn't come up with another lie so I just hugged them. They hugged back but I could tell they are confused.
"Peter what's going on?" I could hear the worry in papa's voice. I could feel tears come to my eyes.
"I'm sorry." I turned around and opened my window. I put on the mask and I could hear the gasps come from my parents. I turned to get one look at their face and it was filled with shock.
"I'm sorry." I jumped out of the window after that.
A/N: I came up with this idea while watching the trailer to Into the Spiderverse. I hope you enjoy it. Want a Part 2?
