a/n: hello lovely people !! here is the next part of the metanoia series and hope you enjoy this one !! (also i suck at action scenes so sorry).
[NOT MY GIF]
...
In Prague, Czech Republic...
...
Tony Stark.
Of course the first thing you'd see as the bus pulls up to the hotel is an art piece of Tony plastered across a building; it's funny how even after everything, his always there to watch over you... making things now so much harder...
You notice clusters of people on the Prague streets all bundled together holding poles with light decorations attached to them, wearing glow stick accessories with buzzes of conversation and music swaying in the wind.
For the Lights Festival.
Before you realize it, the van gradually slows to a complete stop in front of an exquisite and traditional building and with everyone boarding off, you rise from your seat cautiously in mind of your injured head and carry yourself down the bus with the others.
As all of you enter through the golden doors, audible mumbles and gasps of wonder murmur around and even yourself, you can't help but widen your eyes at the 'minor' upgrade to the previous hotel but even though the hotel was all amazement and grand, the gnawing heavy thought of what is to come is chewing away at your conscious and from Peter's hurried eyes and awkward stance, you can tell that he feels the same way.
Coincidentally, you peer over at Peter and hear his phone vibrate at the same time yours does with Peter stepping away from the group to take a call, you grab your phone out and see a singular message:
from: UNKNOWN
We're expecting you and Spider-Man.
Spider-Man has been instructed by Hill and you are instructed to place on your suit and headpiece and make your way to these coordinates as soon as possible.
Remember the plan for tonight, come on time, ready and strong.
Exhaling deeply, you shove your phone back and can't help but observe Peter from afar who is talking to Ned with a worried manner; he doesn't deserve this...
Slipping away from the group who are all immersed in conversation, you hastily manage sneak yourself back out of the main entrance and look for a place to suit up.
Your eyes meet along an alleyway and you make a run for it and as you are running, you lift your bracelet to your mouth and whisper the command.
Once in the safety of the darkness of the alleyway, ARIS complies and you feel your suit mold perfectly around your body and when ready, you fly into the night, full of fear and regret to the coordinates.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Physics is easy!" Peter exclaims with his hands in the air, accidentally letting his pencil go.
"For you! You're a science guy; anything science and you just absorb the information and understand it! I can't do that!" Y/N huffs out an annoyed breath.
"Sure you can Y/N/N! It's just about practice-"
"I can't do formulas Pete! Biology and psychology are more like terms and stuff but physics is like science math; a science for math!"
"Not really..."
"Ugh I dunno! All I know is that I'm going to fail this physics project." Y/N spins on the chair and blows a strand of loose hair away.
"That's why I'm here! You got me to help! I'll teach you physics and we can put more physics into your cute brain!" Peter's cheeks redden after he realises what he said.
"Did you call me cute Parker?" Y/N inches closer to him with her cheeks creeping into a blush.
"N-No c-cute can mean small-" Peter tries to improve his situation.
"Are you saying I have a small brain?!" Y/N gasps and dramatically places a hand across her heart.
"N-No! You have a h-huge brain! You're really s-smart! The s-smartest girl I know! I'm sorry I-"
"Petey! I was just joking! But, thank you for acknowledging my small brain." Y/N giggles as Peter chuckles with her. "But on a more serious note, do you reckon I'll pass this test?"
"Well, with that cute brain of yours-"
"Peter!"
"Parker!" Fury snaps Peter from his trance and back into reality; a reality he wishes wasn't real.
"Yes sir?" Peter answers with a quicken voice.
"That thing is going to be here in a few hours; are we boring you-"
"I don't think he's bored," Saviour steps forward with annoyance in their voice, "I think he's just thinking about how you're holding him hostage and how you hijacked his entire school vacation just so he can satisfy your needs, sir." Saviour smugly cocks their head up to Fury and even behind their mask, Peter could tell a smirk lied on their face.
"He had obstacles... I removed them. And for my needs? We're talking about an entire city being at risk Saviour." Fury coldly responds and Saviour's strong stance sinks a little.
"They still won't evacuate the city." Maria Hill strolls away from the compute monitors and next to Fury, directing her statement to him.
"Ugh.. idiots..." Fury shakes his head and mutters to himself. "So Parker," Fury tilts his head to look at Peter, "what's the plan?"
Mysterio, Saviour, Maria Hill and Fury all avert their attention and eyes onto Peter, waiting for him to recite out exactly what the plan for tonight is.
"I will be... in the cathedral tower, keeping watch for the Fire Monster and when that shows up, I will radio you guys, and then Saviour and Mr. Beck and I will-"
"My name is Mysterio." Beck injects and with a gesture aimed at Peter, Peter smiles widely and lets off a soft chuckle.
"That's right... Mysterio, Saviour and I will move in."
"Peter listen to me, the best hope you have, the only hope you have is to stop it here and now. No matter what the cost." Mysterio's demeanor darkens.
Peter's face has fallen from Mysterio's statement as he slowly walks toward him with only fear on his face, turning pale like a ghost.
"Move it away from civilians if you can but most importantly, keep it away from metal. If it gets too big, it'll be able to draw power from the Earth's core and after that, there's no way to stop it."
Mysterio, finishing his speech of warning and advice, Peter stares deeply and blankly at the floor as he processes the newly received information; his friends were just in the hotel not even 10 minutes away from the town square, where the Fire Elemental is set to attack.
Peter knows that he can't loose anyone else, he can't endanger his loved ones again and be the one to pay the price; the ultimate cost of Tony's life had scarred him and taught him a sacred lesson in life; life is too short and that you can loose just about anything with the snap of your fingers.
Thoughts of May, Ned, Y/N and MJ fly through his mind; even though May isn't present to be affected by the Elemental but what if her nephew fails to arrive home? What if Ned looses his best friend tonight? What if Y/N- Y/N.
Y/N L/N. The one who'd pulled him out of his depression after Tony's death, the one who understood the consequences of the hero life, the one who helped him to see his worth, the one he had fallen in love with.
What if I never get the chance to tell Y/N?
"Hey man," Peter quivers as if he is about to cry, "my friends are here, and I can't help and think we're putting them at risk-"
"You worry about us hurting your friends?! You, who called a drone strike on your own school tour bus?" Fury stands up angry and marches toward Peter.
"Stark gave you a multi-billion dollar AR and the first thing you do with it? You start blowing up your friends! It's clear to me that you were not ready for this!" Fury points his finger at Peter as Peter nods and cowers away with tears threatening his eyes.
"Of course he wasn't ready!" Saviour glides in front of Peter, 'protecting' him from Fury's blows, "you thought it'd be such a wise idea to give a kid a multi-billion dollar tactical intelligence system which you had no clue what it was or did to him, a teenager that is in mourning so you don't have the responsibility because you felt 'it was right'."
"Saviour don't-" Mysterio advises, raising his arm to gently place his hand on a shoulder to swiftly lead Saviour out.
"Don't tell me don't," Saviour shoves Mysterio back and appoints back to yell at Fury, "you're forcing him to help you and your people save a city once again, against his own goddamn will because you're afraid SHIELD is going to fail again just like how you guys somehow managed to let HYDRA infest itself without anyone noticing! You SHIELD scumbags just use people with these talents, skills and powers to your own will because you're nothing without Mysterio, without me, without him! Take a hard look in the goddamn mirror Fury because from the looks of it, you're trying to rebuild your idea... admit it Fury, The Avengers are dead. Get over yourself and this pathetic vision and focus on what's at hand instead of trying to brainwash Parker here to become another puppet for you to pull your strings on." Saviour hisses out with venom, breathing loudly from the yelling.
Fury remains silent but a cold, stern expression lies heavily on his face.
Peter, overwhelmed by everything and what is being said jumps to his feet and sprints out of the room, away from all the drama and needing to catch a breath.
"I'll go talk to him." Mysterio announces and gives Saviour a look of disappointment with a shake of his head, Mysterio hovers and flies out of the room.
Saviour pivots a foot toward the exit to follow Peter and Mysterio but stops to say one last thing: "Don't you dare turn Parker into Tony."
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
A chill breeze flurries past Peter as he dangles his feet off the edge of the building, lost in thought and withdrawn from his surroundings; all Peter can do is ponder of the fight about to happen, what the consequences and outcome might be, the things Fury and Mysterio had said and even of Saviour standing up for him; sure they'd worked alongside back with each other in New York but Saviour treated him differently; Saviour was more reckless, confident and not as 'open' or 'caring' to Peter when he was Spider-Man but it seems now after the Blip, Saviour had softened to him and was more protective and willing to form a bond.
Saviour preferred to work alone; Peter knew that since Saviour had only worked with him as Spider-Man if it was absolutely necessary but Peter never knew why but until now, Saviour was always requesting for him back in New York, even if it was the smallest task or jobs that Peter knew Saviour could easily accomplish by them self.
Of course Peter didn't mind, he was just curious of this sudden change but he couldn't focus on that now; Peter needed to get his mind ready and needed to follow the plan unless his friends and Y/N could potentially get extremely hurt.
Glancing up from hearing a series of small whirring noises, Peter sees Mysterio floating in front of him and feels somewhat sad that it isn't Saviour.
"Fury asked me to come up here and see how you were doing. It's just, he felt bad about snapping at ya." Mysterio explains.
"Really?"
"You guys do have sarcasm on this Earth right?"
Peter dryly chuckles; of course Fury wouldn't exactly care.
"How are you feeling?" Mysterio genuinely asks Peter who he can tell is deep in thought.
"Uhh... I didn't think I was gonna have to save the world this summer... I know that makes me sound like such a jerk I just- I had this plan with this girl I really like and now, it's all ruined." Peter sighs and can't help but imagine of Y/N which causes him to tear up a little.
Mysterio levitates down next to Peter as his fishbowl mask dissolves away. "You're not a jerk for wanting a normal life kid. It's a hard path; you see things, do things, make choices... people look up to you and... even if you win a battle sometimes they die." Mysterio fixates on the distance as Peter takes everything in.
"I like you Peter, you're a good kid. There's a part of me that wants me to tell ya to just, turn around and run away from all this and there's another part of me that... knows what we're about to face and fight... and what's at stake and I'm glad you're here." Mysterio turns to look at Peter.
"Me too."
"But you worry about your friends." Mysterio questions.
"Yeah... I just always feel that I'm putting them in danger..."
"Look just, get them inside and keep them in a safe place for just a few hours and it'll be alright." Mysterio nods as if he is nodding to himself for reassurance.
A silence falls between the both of them as they stare into the night sky and prepare for what is to come.
"It's nice... have somebody to talk too about superhero stuff ya know?" Peter admits.
"Anytime and hey you survive this, you have all summer to kill Brad Davis."
Mysterio gives Peter a smile as Peter returns one to him.
"See you out there." Peter gathers his backpack and just like that, leaps from the building and lands back down onto the ground, determined to keep his friends safe and sound.
Peter digs into his backpack and retrieves EDITH and places the glasses onto his face. "EDITH?"
"Hello Peter."
"Hey! Uhhh, I need to find a way to keep my friends inside for the next few hours."
"Let's see what we can do."
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
"Good news, we're going to the Opera!" Mr. Harrington with a beaming smile announces to the class
From around the corner, you see the class all sitting around with glow sticks attached to themselves, all begin to uprise in murmurs of disagreement and disapproval as they all shoot Mr. Harrington bizarre looks.
You take the opportunity of them all invested with Mr. Harrington and his announcement to silently slide in the free space between Peter and MJ.
Peter hearing your movement, glimpses at your direction and you send him a friendly smile, swearing at yourself for feeling your cheeks turning pink.
"Don't look at me." Mr. Dell informs the students and clearly tells them that he is on their side.
"What happened to the carnival." MJ asks the question on everyone's minds.
"Well this is upgrade living guys. Come on, the tour company just gave us these tickets. For free! Do you have any idea how much opera tickets cost?" Mr. Harrington debates.
"No. Because none of us have ever wanted to go to the opera." Flash speaks on everyone's behalf.
Overlooking at Peter's face and Ned's nervousness, you pick up that Peter is influencing Ned to agree about the opera; maybe it's a diversion?
"Uh, well I think this is going to be cultural impact for us." Ned suddenly proposes.
"Thank you Ned." Mr. Harrington points at Ned and agrees with him. "Everyone, this is maybe, going to be the best 4 hours of our whole trip."
Groans of protest arise of the discovery of the time length of the opera.
"Guys come on, I also think that it's gonna be really fun... seriously! It'll be like The Phantom of The Opera." You lead on with Ned.
Hearing some people agree with you on The Phantom of The Opera, Mr. Harrington excuses everyone to change into a nice outfit.
You along everyone else, leave your seats and enter your rooms to change and rummaging through your suitcase, you find the dress you'd been saving for; the dress was ironically black and white; the top half was fully black and transitioned to white with patterns of black floral prints on the white to match with the top which paired perfectly with your black and white wedges.
Laying the dress onto the bed with the shoes, you undress yourself and pull the dress down onto your body and place your shoes on and critique yourself in the mirror, you decide to curl a few strands of hair and clip on a pair of earrings and finally happy with your look, you clutch your purse and exit your room and meet everyone outside as you all start to walk to the opera.
Grumbles and moans are heard as fireworks explode in the distance, lights brightly fill the busied square with everyone wishing to attend one of the world's biggest festival's instead of the Opera.
You agree with them; the Opera sounds mentally exhausting but you'd rather have your friends alive than at the hands of a fire monster; the plan needed to work because if it didn't, everything could be exposed and destroyed and you wouldn't be let off the hook.
Feeling something brush into your side, you find Peter Parker in a suit walking next to you, a red blush prominent on his face as he whips his head away from you.
Must be nervous about the plan.
Before you know it, Mr. Harrington stops abruptly which causes everyone to accidentally bump into one another as he quickly glances and reads the tickets and matches the address to the sign of the place, Mr. Harrington leads everyone in with a stride which is halted almost immediately as upon entering the Opera House.
"Here we are... looks like we bet the rush..." Mr. Harrington falters as the depressing sight of empty seats and elderly slowly move to their seat and wait patiently for the show to begin. "Lucky for us we got the best seats in the house!"
Mr. Harrington starts to lead everyone to the front row all with looks of boredom, you don't follow them but watch as they all pile into their seats, you adjust the earring with your earpiece so that you're ready to hear for the signal; tonight has to have no mistakes or flaws unless everything is done for.
"Hey," Brad Davis calls at you, you turn your nose and flatter him with a fake smile, "I'll save you a seat."
Grimacing internally at his comment, you smile at him and once he is out of sight, roll your eyes at him and lower your smile to rest.
Hearing shuffling behind you, Peter glides next to you with a nervous face.
"Something on your mind?" You ask Peter who is staring intensely at the ground and lifting his feet up and down from the ground.
"N-No... just excited about the Opera is all." Peter lies but curses at himself for the stupid and unbelievable lie.
"Yeah... 4 hours of singing that we probably won't understand... lucky us." You joke and play along with his 'love' for Opera.
Peter chuckles at your joke but the only thing on his mind is how you look so effortlessly beautiful in that black and white floral dress, eyes shimmering and battling against the brightness of the golden walls, hair bouncing and sitting so neatly... to Peter you were perfection in the flesh and yet you do it so easily, you truly astonish him everyday.
"You look really pretty tonight..." Peter mumbles at you with his eyes fixated on yours.
Peter's compliment takes you off guard; Peter Parker just called me pretty... but doesn't he have his eyes on someone else?
"Oh just tonight Parker?" You cock your head up and give him a confused face, begging and praying that he couldn't see the blushing and flustered mess underneath your facade.
"N-No- you're gorgeous all the time- I mean pretty- I mean-" Peter struggles to say a word.
"Peter I'm only teasing but thank you... and you look pretty too..." You play with you dress anxiously.
Peter and you share a comfortable silence filled by both of your soft smiles to one another, butterflies flutter nervously inside you.
"Hey Pete?"
"Y-Yeah?" Peter's eyes gaze into yours deeply and intently, his soft brown and innocent eyes scorn your own and the words fail to come out of your mouth.
"D-Do you, I dunno, wanna be seat partners or something? Or maybe just leave and get out of here with me?"
Peter's heart dropped; Y/N was asking him, plain ole Peter Parker to hang out, just the two of them and he was over the moon, with his response ready at his tongue and head.
"No." Peter gingerly answers.
"No as in you just want to seat next to other or ditch or just no to me?" Insecurity manifests in your speech as you hurriedly ask mostly to yourself.
"I-I didn't mean that uh if you go ahead and I'll be your partner... we'll be a pair."
"O-Okay Parker... I'll save you a seat, next to me because... why not?" You justify your reasoning to ease your conscious and make your way to the front row.
Peter Parker watches from afar as he rapidly presses on his earpiece to make Nick Fury shut up, Peter watches you move to the front row of seats and a throbbing pain fills his chest; he has to leave you to keep you safe, even if it jeopardizes his plan and your friendship.
Sharply turning away, Peter bumps into Ned
"C-Can you tell Y/N/N I'm sorry?"
"Yeah, yeah dude of course but Peter no matter what you do, steer the monster away from the Opera house please. We're all counting on you." Ned's voice shook with a hint of fear in his speech.
Peter's eyes looked around the room; all his friends, Ned, MJ and Y/N were in this room, all depending on him to save them... he can't let them down... not again at least.
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
Joyous music and fun filled the town square as the people danced and let off their lights and colours into the night, all in celebration for the Lights Festival.
Amongst being hidden by what remained in the dark, refraining from the fireworks and lights, Peter held himself against the cathedral tower and with worried and focused eyes, kept scanning and looking, observing for any sign of the Fire Elemental with his tongue at the ready to warn everyone of the monster's arrival.
"Alright I'm in position. Uh, as soon as I see something Beck I'll let you know."
"Roger that. Any sign of Saviour?"
"Negative," Nick Fury's static voice answers, "Parker, how's the suit?"
"It's uh great. It's just a bit tight- around the ole webshooter-"
"Parker!" Nick Fury barks at Peter's inappropriate reference.
"Okay I'll shut up. B-but there's still no sign of Saviour?"
"None at all. Haven't been contacted and they didn't meet up at our position." Beck radios in.
Where the hell are you Saviour?
"Energy's spiking." Fury dials in on the radio, seeing the alert.
"We have seismic activity." Mariah pitches in.
From the tower, Peter stares at a statue, watching the metal be completely digested by magma flowing freely and growing rapidly around the statue, bystanders watching the phenomenon take place, not knowing the true identity and moral danger they are in.
Goosebumps and Peter's hairs stood on end as a glow grew larger and larger until sounds of screams and hurried footsteps of people running filled Peter's super sensed ears; it's now or never.
"Okay he's here! Beck are you ready? You know what to do?"
"On your lead Spider-Man."
Bellowed roars erupted from the monster as it spewed out hot flames around it, causing destruction and horror to the town square of Prague, people flee in terror as cars are crushed and explosions implode from the beast.
Watching and patiently waiting from the tower, Peter spots Beck touch down onto the ground, releasing his green smoke around him and wielding his power as his weapons.
"You're up kid."
Shooting a web, Peter grabs his decoy and swings toward the Fire Elemental and whacks it hard, causing it to loose balance and focus just in time for Peter to swing to safety.
As Beck fires at the monster, Peter sees fire hydrates planted on the ground directly next to the enemy and latches a web and pulls them clean off, water spraying onto the Elemental and weakening it.
Bursting in outrage, the Fire Elemental punches the wall Peter is stuck onto, debris fly from the impact as Peter jumps onto a carousel.
Whew that was-
The Fire Elemental doesn't let him finish as it hits the carousel and Peter flies off, colliding onto the ground violently and eventually hitting the back of a Ferris Wheel.
"No Beck! He's got the carousel!" Peter yells as he sees the Fire Elemental consume the carousel and grow even bigger.
"Night- Monkey!" "Night-Monkey help us!"
Night-Monkey? Wha-
Peter turns around to find the source of the pleas for help and is met with the dreaded faces of fear from Ned Leeds and Betty Brant from the Ferris Wheel.
Panic rushing into his system, heavy thumps from the Fire Elemental's footsteps increase, inching closer and closer, it's eyes of red burning through Peter.
Peter attempts to slow the creature down by webbing it and pulling it, but as soon as he shoots his webs, the fire burns them off.
Raising its arm, the Fire Elemental goes to strike Peter, Peter braces for it.
No, no, no what do I do? What do I do? Please no-
But nothing happens; Peter opens his eyes and feels energy flurrying all around him; a black smoke shaped of a force field, a figure of black and white standing next to him with their arms extended out as if they are controlling it...
Saviour!
"SAVIOUR!"
"Hey Spidey. Miss me that much huh? You okay?" Saviour asks with a groan, busy concentrating on keeping their form.
"Yeah, yeah! I'm fine! Plan B?"
"Well it looks like- umph, Plan A isn't- ugh, working." Saviour groans as the Fire Elemental starts hitting the dome.
"We gotta hit him with something!" Peter shouts over the noise and looks hurriedly at Saviour.
"I go left, you go right.... NOW!" Saviour throws their hands away and quickly flies left as Peter swings right.
Saviour glides through the air, searching and scanning for anything to throw at the creature.
"Where's Beck?"
"Coming up behind you." Saviour spots Beck in his Mysterio costume fly next to them.
"Parker, I'll grab those kids from the wheel, you and Beck fight this crazy inferno." Saviour boosts toward the Ferris Wheel.
"Okay!" Peter runs up a wall and flips, webs a rock from the destruction and flings it the Fire Elemental, successfully damaging and stunning it. "Shoot it now!"
Beck aims his hands and fires at the Elemental, a green patch from Beck's attack glows on its chest. "That hurt him! Keep it coming!"
Peter and Beck start to work as a team; Peter stunning the creature with Beck attacking it with his blasts.
"Spider-Man! Keep your distance!"
"I'm trying!" Peter cries back.
"Can't let him get near the Ferris Wheel!"
"Parker and I are on it!" Saviour chimes in and swoops Peter up from the ground, flying them both toward the Ferris Wheel, dropping Peter in the carriage with Ned and Betty.
Suddenly while Peter goes to shoot a web and as Saviour is flying in toward them, they both knock and feel something hard, Saviour knocks out of orbit and Peter's web sticks onto something that isn't there.
Saviour goes flying through the air, losing all control and balance of flight, heading straight toward the Elemental.
"SAVIOUR!" Peter shouts in agony as Saviour's body disappears in the flames.
The Fire Elemental hears Ned and Betty's screams and draws itself to the Ferris Wheel, Peter tries to get Ned and Betty out before it's too late.
Saviour rockets back onto the Ferris Wheel and holds onto the carriage tightly, Peter sighing in relief.
"I'll get Buffy and Angel out of here while you web up the wheel!" Saviour calls out to Peter.
"Saviour! Need you now!"
"I- I can't I gotta get them out and I'm drained out-" Saviour starts to ramble as they lift up Betty from the Ferris Wheel seat.
"When I say I need you, I need you!" Beck continues to aim and fire at the Elemental to cease it from reaching them as Peter swings himself around, webbing the Ferris Wheel to stable it.
"Thank you so much Saviour! You're a life-" Betty starts to praise Saviour but as Saviour lifts Betty, Saviour abruptly drops her back into the seat and clutches their side.
"Are you hurt?!" Ned frantically asks.
"No, i-it's nothing... I'm good." Saviour raises their hand toward Beck and moans in pain, holding it for 10 seconds before going back to retrieve Betty.
"It's too late..." Mariah's voice utters into the piece. Oh no.
Beck turns toward them both, unveiling his mask, "What ever happens next, I'm glad I met the both of you."
"Beck! What are you doing?!"
"What I should of done last time." Beck answers Peter as he begins to summon all his power.
Saviour's hand raises toward Beck as if they are trying to stop Beck from his actions as their other hand grips weakly to the Ferris Wheel.
"Beck don't do it!" Peter cries.
Beck screams in pain as his power all starts to come out and unravel itself, ready for one last and final attack.
Beck flies forward and punches the Fire Elemental straight in the chest, his power absorbing as the beast stumbles back as Beck's power manifests it.
Saviour screams a blood curling scream before the creature lets out its final cry and falls to the ground, green mist exploding with it.
Green particles fly all around as Peter sticks the final web together and sees Beck's body lying on the ground, burnt and defeated.
Peter jumps down as Saviour stays clinging onto the Ferris Wheel, Peter approaches Beck's body with horrific flashbacks.
"M-Mr. Beck?" Peter lightly turns his body, a gasp of breath relieves Peter as Beck wearily opens his eyes.
Saviour lands beside them and helps Peter into bringing Beck back up onto his feet.
The SHIELD opearatives along with Nick Fury and Mariah Hill close in as Beck sits down with Peter and Saviour by his side; Peter standing and Saviour holding their side next to Beck.
"I thought a vacation meant being away from the work and not the work coming to us." Saviour dryly chuckles with a cough.
"That's the last Elemental though..." Beck informs.
"But not the last threat." Nick Fury strides up next to the three heroes. "Hill and I are going to headquarters in Berlin tomorrow. You should come with us." Fury looks at Beck as he speaks.
Beck stands and firmly grabs Fury's hand and shakes it. "Thank you. I might take up on that."
Nick Fury then approaches Peter Parker who stands still and awkward, awaiting for Fury's words.
"You got gifts Parker," Fury starts, "but you don't wanna be here-"
"Mr. Fury I-"
"I'd like you in Berlin too. But you've got to decide if you're going to step up or not. Stark chose you, he made you an Avenger... I need that. The world needs that. Maybe Stark was wrong... was he?"
Peter's eyes burn from the tears forming in his eyes; he has nothing to say and doesn't know what to say.
"And as for you Saviour, you're lucky I want Beck and since apparently you two are a package deal, I want you in Berlin too. But I don't want to see anymore of your efforts like tonight; you didn't bother or care to show up and look at what happened; if you followed the plan, maybe things could of turned out better, maybe you would of been an actual hero. You didn't do anything." Fury stares sharply at Saviour before walking off with Mariah and driving away from the scene.
Peter and Saviour say nothing, the silence speaks for them but Beck doesn't stand for it; Beck offers his hand to help Saviour up which they slap away and stand them self, taking off into the night without a word.
Beck walks over to Peter who is left standing still and quiet after Fury's words and places a comforting hand on his shoulder.
"Come on, let's get a drink."
