Chapter Text
Peter grabbed the key for the apartment door out of his pocket and slowly opened the door, he felt so overwhelmed with joy that he couldn't wait to tell May that he got to keep the internship.
„May! I am home and have great news!", yelled the Teenager as he entered the small living room searching for signs of his aunt. It was 5:00 pm, so May should have been home by now.
Maybe she was stuck at traffic? Or forgot something at work? No, that couldn't have been right. Mays last shift ended 2 and a half hours ago. Something was wrong.
Seconds later he heard hushed voices that seemed to come directly from his room. Shit, what was going on?!
Peter began to slightly panic because he actually didn't know what to do.
What if they had May? What was he supposed to do if they had her?!
Anxiously he grabbed his phone from his pocket and texted a quick WhatsApp Message.
Peter: Someone's in my room, I think they have May, pls help! I don't know what to do!
Tony was at the workshop when he heard the notification sound of his phone which lay on the other said of the room. The billionaire was tinkering on one of his new suits, he needed to relax after he told the reporters that he and Pepper were engaged. Tony checked his phone only 10 minutes ago because he got an alert from FRIDAY that another newspaper posted about their Engagement.
Tony told his Artificial Intelligence then that he didn't want another single notification about this.
Tonys reaction to loud 'ding' was that he sighed and rolled his eyes annoyed.
"Fri? Is it something important or can I continue with my work?", asked the mechanic as be didn't even lay his screwdriver away for a second.
The A.I kept quiet for a few seconds which let Tony think that maybe it was just an unimportant E-Mail from SI.
"Message from Peter Parker. Boss, I think you should read it, it seems that he is in danger.", and if Tony didn't know better he would say that Friday sounded actually a little bit concerned.
Tony sprung to his feet and ran to the table where he left his phone.
It seemed like the color of his face drained as he read the message.
Tonys' eyes widened and he quickly typed a response, seconds later he put on one of his suits and flew to Queens.
Tony: On my way, DONT DO ANYTHING STUPID!
Peter didn't even have the chance to read his mentor's message, he put his phone away and planned a surprise attack on the introducers. What were they even doing in his room?! He had absolutely nothing in there, only the 2000 $ Laptop that Mr. Stark gifted him a few months ago.
Peter suddenly felt a weird tingle at his neck, his mind basically screamed at him that there was something wrong.
He quickly jumped to the side a gunshot followed only seconds later. Peter spun around only to see a tall man with slick black hair and a dark uniform. The man smiled at him and put away his gun.
"Don't worry, we don't want to hurt you.", said the black-haired and Peter realized that behind him stood five other persons all with the same uniform. The Teenager glared angrily at the man in front of him. 'Great you only tried to shoot me!', thought Peter but didn't dare to speak the sentence out loud, he still had no idea where May was.
"Where is my aunt?", Peter tried to look unbothered but had a really hard time doing so. What if they hurt her? Was she even alive? The man stepped forward and Peter tried to contain his fear now. The Teenager stared at the Octopus Symbol on the right side of the soldier's uniform, that he only now realized.
"She is unharmed, don't worry, little boy. You see, I and my team behind you followed you for a while now. I heard Stark pays his intern really well. You should now that, since you are one, right?", Peters' heart began to beat faster at the question. He knows that it wasn't really questioning, it was a god damn statement, they knew that he worked with Mr. Stark...
"Yes, the payment is really good, but I am sorry I still don't know what you want from me.", said the Teenager now full of fear. Were they going to kill him? Oh god, what if they knew about Spider-Man?!
The Hydra soldier chuckled deeply, pulled his gun out again and held it on Peters' forehead. Peter froze.
Please don't kill me, don't kill me, don't kill me.
The soldier looked the boy deep in the eyes.
"You are not an intern. To be honest none of us know what you really are. How does it come that a Teenage like you gets to swing around in a Spandex suit? Did Daddy Stark experiment on you?", single tears made his way down Peters' cheeks but he still tried to glare at the man.
The soldier smirked and took the gun from his forehead.
"Ya know, Peter. You seem like a really good kid, but I'd prefer if you answer my questions.", before Peters spider-sense could have warned him he got a firm slap in the face.
”He didn't experiment on me, it was an accident, at Oscorp Industries! A radioactive Spider bit me!", said Peter afraid that he got hit again.
Another smirk.
"Good boy, just one more question. What is the code to Tony Starks workshop?", Peter saw red. No, no, no. He couldn't tell him. He just couldn't! He would betray Tony if he told him. God, why did Tony show him the code today?! Correction he would betray the whole world if he would tell them! Hydra should never have control over something like Mr. Starks's suits!
"I don't know, I am just Spider-Man. Maybe you should ask someone else.", said Peter and abruptly got slapped in the face again, this time much harder.
For the first time, the soldier seemed to have lost his patience, because he looked rather angry.
"Bullshit, you know it! We will give you two options you either speak or we will get other methods to get into Starks lab. And believe me, it would be much easier if you would just tell us.", Peter clenched his teeth and kicked the man between his legs with full force. The soldier screamed in pain and Peter turned around to beat the others up. It didn't take long and the five guys behind him all pointed at him with pistols.
"That was a really stupid move.", growled the man that he kicked only seconds ago.
Peter didn't say anything. He was doomed.
One of the other soldiers pressed a gun to his neck and told him to kneel.
Peter did as he was told and only hopes that he wouldn't get killed.
”That wasn't very nice, but I should have seen it coming.", the black-haired went to his colleagues and picked up some sort of briefcase, that laid on the floor. He opened it slowly and Peter could see from his position that it was a syringe filled with a blue liquid.
Peter felt like vomiting at that moment.
Mr. Stark, where are you?
The soldier approached the boy with a smile on his face and went behind him.
No, no, no I don't want it!
Peters' eyes were now visible red from crying and even though he couldn't see the man behind him he knew that he had grinned when he whispered the words:
"Move and we will shoot you, scream and we will shoot you too. It's pretty easy.", it didn't take long and Peter felt the sharp needle that got injected into his neck. It hurt like hell but he tried to contain his sobs as best as he could, he didn't want them to see him vulnerable.
Peter felt relief as the needle was finally pushed out and felt a wave of tiredness overcoming him.
”I hope that this shit works.", were the last words Peter heard as he fell unconscious.
Tony arrived only minutes later and managed his way in through Peter's window. He opened his faceplate and inspected the teenager's room. Tony was confused, there were no intruders, everything seemed normal.
Did Peter prank him? No, he wouldn't joke about something.
Another weird thing was that the Spider-Man suit wasn't there. Something was wrong.
"FRIDAY? Is anyone in the apartment beside me?", asked Tony before he opened the door to the living room.
It took FRIDAY longer than normal to analyze all the rooms, which was definitely another sign that something was wrong.
"There are currently two people in the whole apartment.", said FRIDAY, something in her voice hinted that there was more information, that she didn't want to tell his creator.
Tony opened the door and searched for Peter and May.
"I detected a life sign, about six meters away from you, Boss.", Tony moved slowly across the living room and he could swear that his heart stopped for a God damn moment.
There laid a baby on the floor!
Tony could swear that he got a heart attack at this moment.
There laid a small boy with brown curly
hair and big Bambi eyes which starred at him. The baby had his thumb in his mouth and sucked softly at it.
"The child has the same DNA as Peter Parker and is currently two years old.", Tony blinked stupidly at the little human before he snapped out of it and finally left the armor. The baby, no Peter, was clothed in a much too big T-shirt, but it looked absolutely adorable. Tony carefully picked the little boy up and stroke his soft cheeks.
Tony was so confused, why was his protégée suddenly a child? Peter chuckled happily at the contact and leaned his head more against Tony's hand.
"Hey Pete, I think you got yourself in a very interesting situation. Do you know who I am?", asked Tony in a quiet soothing voice, the child's eyes widened in excitement as he said "Tony!", and touched his mentor's nose.
Tony smiled.
"That's right, Bambi! Great work.", said Tony relieved now that he knew that Peter had his memories.
"Do you know where your aunt is Pete?", Peters adorable smile became a frown, he shook his head slightly and began to pout.
Tony stroked his hair soothingly and pressed a soft kiss on the child's forehead.
”We will find her, don't worry. She has to be in the apartment.", said Tony and Peter nodded speechlessly.
"Fri? You detected two people, where is May?", asked the billionaire and hoped that nothing had happened to her.
”I detect a body to your left door, Boss", FRIDAY's voice sounded quiet and even a bit sad. Tony froze at that.
"Friday? How many life signs are you detecting right now?", Tony began to feel nauseous, he had a horrible feeling.
”I am sorry, Boss but there are only two life signs. And that's you and little Peter.", Tony felt like he was punched in the stomach and Peter began screeching and whining only seconds later.
