-Spiderman POV-

"So, this diamond thing has souls trapped inside it, is that it?" The ancient one dips her head to the side as she tells me "No, that is not how the gem of gaia works. It is meant to be a barrier around the world to gaurd the living from the wrath of the dead" I frown and ask her "Them why the fuck is it in a museum instead of with you?" She grimaces as she tells me "Unlike most of our sanctum's relics, this was created with the help of outsiders so the ownership was given to them. It wasn't a big problem until we found out that someone is looking for it"

I look at the picture of the diamond she has given me and wonder if I can steal it by myself, I look at the ancient one and ask her the question that has been gnawing at my mind since the beginning of this meeting "Couldn't you have done this yourselves" she looks at me with a raised brow as she asks me "Why do you think so?" I scoff as I question her "I am not the one that stopped time to have a chat"

She gives me a small smile as she tells me "The masters of the mystic arts are not allowed to interfere with the physical matters of the world" I quickly retort "And the diamond is mystical" but she was quicker to answer "Made by humans, so it isn't considered a mystical matter" I grin and ask her "Does it not effect the mystical world then?" She retorts "It doesn't as long as it doesn't fall into the wrong hands" I point at myself as I ask "What does that have to do with me then?" She answers me with something I wasn't expecting "Because it is linked to your fate."

By the look on the Ancient One's face, I could tell she didn't want to say that. I asked her as slowly as I can "Does this fate involve my death?" She looks into my eyes and tells me with complete certainty "No" I sigh out in relief as the weight of her words wash over me "So is it kind of like a test of my will or something?" She looked at me silently for a moment before coming out of her funk as she tells me "Yes, it is a test of your will"

I nod as I ask her "So, do I have a time limit or something like that which I have to keep in mind?" She shakes her head as she tells me "No, Mr. Parker as long as you can steal that diamond and not let it fall into the hands of anyone dangerous it is going to be fine" I nod and start walking away when she gives me a parting shot "Remember Mr.Parker, with great power comes great responsibility" I grin and tell her "I know" before I swing out.

-Present day-

-POV Tony Stark-

I didn't want any nanny but here I am being babied by one, I knew the palledium poisoning was going to be a problem in the future but I left it for the future hoping to find a solution by then and what did that give me!.

I should have known. The world was going too good, I relaxed a little too much and God has ordained that I must be punished for it. I look at Captain freaking America sitting beside me and try to ignore the fanboyism in my heart as I joke with him "Didn't know you were a Nerd" He looks at me confused as he asks me "What's a Nerd?" I chew on my lips to stop myself from laughing before I tell him "Someone who is extremely enthusiastic about some niche subject to the point of obsession"

He frowns as he says "I don't have any niche interests, so I don't think I am a nerd but your father definitely was a nerd" I sputter as I ask him "Wha-what, that man wasn't a nerd, he was too uptight" The captain frowns as he tells me "By your description he is" I chuckle as I tell him tightly "He wasn't a nerd" he raises his eyebrows as he asks me "Is it a bad thing to be a Nerd?" I frown and ask him curiously "Why do you think so?"

He looks at the road as he says "Well, you seem to hate the idea of your father being a nerd and the description fits perfectly to Hitler so!" He puts up his hands as he measures a scale in the air and I was flabbergasted by the leaps in logic as I tell him with no emotion in my vouce "No, being a nerd is embarrassing more than bad" Captain nods as if he figured out something as he says "Hitler was indeed, an embarassing nerd" I sigh as I curse myself for letting a fossil ride shotgun with me.

-Billie POV-

I helped Susan down the ladder and watched as she sulked beside bang I looked at the both of them sternly as I told them "It's hard for me too but it is important for you to have a family of your own" Bang uncharacteristic of his usual impassive face, frowns as tears fall from his eyes and he utters pitifully with his lip quivering "You are our family" I look at the both of them sadly as I hug them.

I mutter into Susan's hair "A family is more than three. I am your sister but you need someone who can actually take care of you" Susan wipes her tears as she tells me "But you were the one who took care of us" I shook my head as I tell them "I didn't know what family felt like either but after meeting peters family, I understood that I wasn't doing enough for you" they didn't look convinced by my reasoning so I explained to them "I made sure that they will find you a good home"

Bang asks me with clenched fists, angry at me "Why can't we live with you?" I smile sadly as I refuse "No, the people I live with aren't good enough for you" Bang slams his leg down as he asks me "Then why are they good enough for you, why can't you find a good home for yourself?" I glare at him as I yell out "BECAUSE I SAID SO." I take fast breathes as I look at the faces filled with fear and close my eyes.

I have been getting angry for no reason recently, I don't want to get angry but there are some things that make me angry all of a sudden and I can't control what comes out of my mouth. I look at the horrified faces of the both of them and ask for forgiveness "I am sorry, I didn't want to..." Bang takes Susan's hand and walks away as he says "Let's go susie, she doesn't care about us anymore" I had to stop the tears from spilling as I watched them get into the car of the CPS driver.

I told myself again and again 'This is good for them, this is good for them' but my heart doesn't seem to agree as it tightens like vice.

-POV Uncle Ben-

I watch as all the kids who came to the party stream out of the basement, this only meant two things '1. The police are here or 2. There is a fire' I grab a fire extinguisher and rush into the basement fighting against the horde of teenagers rushing out of the place, I find the place from where people are running away and rush towards it.

Peter slams into my chest and says "Uncle Ben let's leave it's spreading" I grab his head and yell into his face "This is not the time to panic soldier, this is the time for action. Now tell me where is the fire" he looks confused as he says "It's not a fire, it's just very very hot".

I smirk as I tell him "I know just the way to cool it" as I hold up the fire extinguisher and rush towards the spreading foam ignoring peters yell of "NOOO UNCLE BEN THE SULFURIC ACID MIGHT REACT BADLY WITH THE...." I ignore his mad scientific ramble as I fire the extinguisher at the foam. It stops and I smile as I turn towards Peter feeling that the job was well done.

But his horrified expression as he looked behind me, made me turn around just in time to be covered in the foam. I expected it to burn but it was surprisingly cool, I sighed as this was going to be hell to clean. I walk out of the basement to look at the teenagers standing in the living room. A grin forms on my face and some of the teenagers step back in fear as I tell them "Well, well, well look how many friends we have here. Why don't you all grab a rag or a mop and clean out the basement?" They all nod quickly and I smirk as they get to work. 'Should have thought of that before coming to a party to have fun hmph'.
