-Spiderman POV-

I didn't expect Black cat to call so, quickly. I thought heists like these took atleast 2 months to setup but it looks like there are big differences between normal people and the pro's of this world.

I called The ancient one immediately after I cut the call of the unenthusiastic cat. The ancient one picked up the call and I had to explain that we have the gem before sending her the co-ordinates that black cat has sent me.

I was about to jump out the window with my mask on when a voice stopped me "I am coming with you" I looked behind me to find Ned standing there with an old balaclava on his face. It must have been from my 8th grade because it was stretched by Ned's face so much that his face was being smushed into the center.

"You can't Ned, it might be dangerous" I tried to reason with Ned but it seems he was prepared with his response as he countered "But I will not be anywhere near the danger, I will be very far from it with these binoculars to help me keep an eye on you"

I pinch the bridge of my nose as I ask him "Didn't I put the camera's in my eyes to give you a view of the action?" he was about to argue but I cut him off "Now you will sit here and watch through the camera." I walked towards the window sill and I opened it before firing a web at one of the buildings. As I was about to jump off. Ned said.

"I don't want to be helpless Peter" I turn towards him wondering what he is talking about "I don't want to look at someone as they take their last breath when I know I could have done something" I completely turn towards Ned and finally get a good look at the defeated expression on my friends face.

He looked like me from my last life, looking at situations and wondering how he could have helped better but knowing that he could never be in such situations, that he could never be in a position to help someone else. I know that look, the feeling of self hate. He continued as I thought of all I was before this life "I can do better when I don't have to worry about your feed cutting off or you getting away from the location".

I look at the strong resolve on my friends face as he looked at me with a clenched fist. I nod as I ask him "Ok, you can watch from afar but how will you travel" I watched as Ned grinned before taking off and coming back in, I too grin before jumping off the window and swinging away.

I land near the location that black cat has told me about and look around to for her but when I do find her, my blood runs cold. I run upto the ledge of thebuilding I was standing on before jumping with as much strength as I could across the 3 buildings without causinguch noise. I land behind her with a low thud before asking her in a cold voice "What are the kids doing here?"

Black cat turned around startled at my tone as she scolded at me "They were part of a heist" I look at her in shock at her admittance, without any remorce about what she has done. My anger ran hot instead of the cold and contained it was as I cursed out loud "I never should have fucking trusted a bitch like you." Her being surprised at my outburst pissed me off even more.

What else did she expect? "I thought since you went through such a childhood with your father, you wouldn't stoop down to his low but I should have known..." The tears in her eyes were fueling the flame in my heart. "...that people like you who feed on others money wouldn't have any feelings. Those children FUCKING DESERVE BETTER"

Black cat looked like she was about to rip through my face in anger as she snarled at me "They were thieves way before my father adopted them" I throw my hands out wildly as I yell at her "They were thieves. Of Necessity. You haven't been a thieve of necessity ever since your first million dollars paycheck from Wilson Fisk l, you do it for thrill" she looked chastised as she knew that I had her up against the wall but she still wanted to give out a token protest but I wasn't having any of it.

"Don't worry about the deal we made, I'll still call S.H.I.E.L.D about you. I don't back down from any deal" I assured her knowing she was only defending herself for the sake of her reward. She wouldn't get the point even if I beat it into her head, not until she sees it herself.

I was about to ask for the gem when the Susan spoke up "We were the ones who asked to join her?" Bang backed her up on the statement "Yeah she did and she even taught us how to protect myself and escape anyone trying to kill us" Susan continued the charade "We even learned how to do the math on a bullets trajectory depending on where it is coming from to dodge it" Bang was about to continue but I raised. Hand to stop them.

They did stop as I turned to Black cat who had pride on her face which I was about to wipe off with a cold heart "She shouldn't have allowed you to join" I raise my second point "Self defense is a standard for kids around New York" I raise my third and final point "You wouldn't need to know the trajectory of a bullet when the most action you'll ever find is P.E in school" all three of them turn towards me unison with a raised eyebrow.

I retracted my earlier statement "Sorry about that last one, you'll probably need to learn all the bullet science you can to survive your schooling"

-Tony POV-

I was looking at my would be murderer. if not for Captain he would have definitely killed him. He was naked and I didn't like it but maximum security prisons were weird like that. I walk up to him only for him to spit on my shoes, I look at the gross thing and feel icky but I refuse to hide from the grossness of the situation, if only to get through with the actual problem.

"Great design, your arc reactor. I mean it looked like mine so either it is THE MOST PERFECT form of an arc reactor or...." He finally stopped ignoring me as he finished my sentence "...we followed the same blueprint laid out by my father" I frown at that as I correct him.

"You seem to be suffering from a mild case of disillusion because I am pretty sure it was supposed to be named the stark reactor" The guy started laughing for a while filling the silent room withthe echoes of his laughter. I ignore the feeling of uncertainty in my chest as I knew that he wouldn't be able to lay one single finger on my without cap busting through the door and kicking his ass to high heaven.

He finally turns to me as he asks me a question "What is my father's name Stark?" I frown as I think of the files I have read, I finally remembered it as I answered him "Anton vanko, father of Ivan vanko. Got kicked out of America for being a Soviet spy" the laughter I saw on ivan's face faded as he turned to me with clear rage written across his face.

But his face once again, slipped back into the mask of uncertainty as he told me "In any partnered scientific discovery, if the creator deigns to use his name as the discovery then he should incorporate the partners name in to discoveries name" An unwritten law written by scientists to usually give credit where credit is due but there was one single thing that was missing from the rule he talked off.

I spelled that rule out under my breathe "Whoever uncovered their scientific discovery shall have their name come first in the naming. 'Arc reactor' 'Stark reactor' 'Anton Stark reactor' Ivan laughed once again before accusing me "Your father is a third just like you stark"

PS: The last rules are utter bullshit I have pulled out of my ass
