Natasha
Shockingly yes I just got a text from Fury

So hurry up I wasn't kidding about that meeting

(*In other news*)

Patrol. He seemed to debate if he even had to do it tonight. The past few days have been peaceful enough. Peter sat on the old yet comfortable couch, remote in hand, and a plate in the other. He absentmindedly flipped through the channels until something caught his eyes.

It was of the news. He was tempted to ignore it. It was a bank robbery and he was almost sure the cops could handle it. The teen, only hesitated when the word hostages flashed at the bottom of the screen. The place wasn't too far. He could probably make it before things escalated. According to the lady speaking on the screen, the police delayed making a move since the robbers had access to weapons they've never dealt with. Peter scoffed at that. How bad could it possibly be?

The teen -with great stubbornness- placed the plate on the coffee table before jumping off the couch and preparing to head out.

(*Line Break*)

By the time he swung himself to the area, a few cop cars had been surrounding the place. He didn't wait to see what their course of action would be. Instead swinging to the side and finding an open window to crawl through is what he did. He was sure to stay quiet as he heard the gruff chatter from what he assumed to be the robbers.

"I told you we should've just taken the money and gone! Now look at the mess we're in," their voice was deep and more panicked than threatening to Peter.

"Oh, calm your tits. We'll be fine if we just follow through with the plan." The other sounded much more confident in what they were doing.

Peter stood next to the door mask pulled on as he attempted to peek through the side. "Were you not listening?! They said they got the avenger on their way. The avengers! These may be powerful but we can't win," he managed to catch the guy swinging around a weird-looking object in his hand. Taking note that he didn't know what it did and had to stay alert he began making a plan.

"It's probably a bluff," the other scoffed. If the avengers really were to come he should just focus on helping the hostages. So not getting caught will be crucial. Easy enough.

"You already heard the boss's order. Let's just get this over with," With a sigh of despair from one of them, they stalked off towards the end of the hallway. Peter took this as his chance to leave the room. 

The building was large, probably one of the main banks in the company overall. The teen just tried to listen to the muffles of whimpers and choked down screams. His steps were nearly silent as he had no clue how many robbers there were. His pace didn't speed up till he heard a bang alongside a loud scream. Peter went down a set of stairs but before he turned the corner he stopped quickly taking a step back. A person stood masked and held what looked like a weird gun.

Peter glanced towards the back of the counter where he saw a small group of people huddled together and tied by the wrist. None looked badly harmed. With a quick deep breath, he stepped forth, arm held up. The armed robber turned quickly ready to fire but the teen was quicker than that. Once the weapon fired he managed to flip out of the way before shooting the web to grab the weapon and then another web for the man. He didn't think much about the fact that what shot wasn't a bullet but more of a beam. He just focused on the criminal. They were now stuck to the wall mouth webbed shut and the weapon on the floor.

Peter pointed at the weapon as he turned to the robber with disappointment. "That's not a toy mister! You could've hurt someone," ignoring the dirty look he received and with that, he got to work with quickly untying the hostages.

As he untied the last person a large blast was heard on the other side of the budding. He didn't panic. Instead of pointed to the exit. "You guys can leave through there. The cops should be out there to help with any medical problems," he quickly rushed towards the blast not seeming to notice that the robber he once webbed to the wall was gone.

It didn't take him long to get to the other side. Now that the hostages were safe he could focus on the robbers. He found a large hole in the side of the building. He blinked in confusion. Did one of the weapons do that? Peter was answered with a loud curse as he turned to face the one and only iron man. So the avengers did come!

"Get down!" He knew that voice from Natasha. And that's exactly what he did just missing another blast. He sent a web towards where the blast was catching one of the guys from earlier. Peter grinned in his success.

"Nice going new guy." Cap's voice. His day was only getting better and better.

A blood-curdling yell for help is what made the four heroes pause. The boy raised his hand waving it for a moment. "I got it!" He called as if in a classroom before running back stairs.

"Underoos?" Tony spoke almost amused, earning a weird look from Cap. "Just get the other guy and secure the weapons!" He spat making the other two move.

Peter was back downstairs at the entrance of the bank and found a man maybe in his late thirties or early forties. There was a large gush of blood on his side. "Man, what happened to you? I thought you all left!" The teen spoke sternly yet concerned. "Were you the last one?" He got a furious nod but Peter didn't get the chance to swoop the man up as he heard footsteps.

He'd turned to find it had been the masked person. A blade was thrown and it managed to graze against the boy. He laughed almost amused. "I didn't think someone could be bad at being a bad guy." He spoke tauntingly. The other than rose their arm with one of the weird weapons.

"You weren't the target pumpkin," the voice purred clearly feminine.

His eyes widened and in the panic that struck him, he dove picking up the man and ran. There was a large puff. The smell was terrible and Peter held his breath in worry. It seemed the man in his arms didn't as he soon fell fast asleep. He started to scold himself seeing as the robber was gone. Great.

(*Line Break*)

By the time he left the scene, it was dark. The robbers were all caught except one. The masked one. Peter blames himself for that one. They only got two of the weapons and the money that the other robbers held. The man he found was taken to a hospital. And he only greeted the avengers before excusing himself quickly.

After all, he still had his job the next morning.

(A/N my sister was reading over my shoulder and now I feel ashamed. Anyways! I'll edit this chapter later cause I don't like it.)
