As I stepped out of the SHIELD facility, I hesitantly activated my phone which had been deactivated till now because of security reasons.

Once the phone was activated, several notifications of missed calls from Aunt May and Uncle Ben arrived on my phone. All the calls were from around an hour ago. It seems that they were in a hurry since they didn't leave even a message.

By now, they must have been informed about my parents from SHIELD once they arrived in the SHIELD embassy. That must be why they were calling me.

Taking a deep breath, I called Aunt May, ready to tackle the matter.

“Peter, you finally picked up!” Aunt May said, her voice full of joy as she picked up the call.

“Sorry, Aunt May. I was little busy and I couldn't use my phone because of security reasons.” I answered why my phone was switched off.

“It doesn't matter now. Your parents are alive! In fact, I was just talking face to face with Richard and Mary now. You don't know how shocked we were when SHIELD called us an hour ago with news that your parents, whom we had thought to be long dead were actually alive and under HYDRA's captivity.” Aunt May revealed the great news to me in a single breath which I already know.

Looks like Director Fury's words were indeed true since SHIELD had informed Aunt May and Uncle Ben about this matter right after my parents had landed. They even let them meet my parents which would have been impossible if it was not for Director Fury.

“I know, Aunt May. Actually, I was the one who saved them.” I reluctantly revealed the fact since she had no idea about my recent missions due to secrecy reasons.

“What do you mean you saved them?” Aunt May said in a shocked voice, not being able to believe my words.

“Just ask if Albion was in the team who saved them.” I replied.

There was silence for a few minutes after my words since Aunt May was obviously confirming whether my words for true or not.

“Just what have been doing these days, Peter Parker!” Aunt May asked in a furious tone as soon as he came back on the call.

“Just a few weeks ago, you are on your first date with a great girl. And now, you are suddenly attacking global terrorist organisations with SHIELD. What happened?”

“You know how chaotic this world has become, Aunt May. I am just trying to make it a bit more safer. There are people who are participating even though they are must weaker than me.

If you spot this tale on Amazon, know that it has been stolen. Report the violation.

Then, why should I not participate if it means that my participation alone in this battle can save the lives of many good men. Besides, my life is not even threatened in the slightest in these missions.”

“Alright!” Aunt May said with a sigh as she finally accepted that my words were true.

“I knew that this day would come when I had seen how powerful you were. I just didn't know that this day would come so soon. You have grown now, Peter. I am proud of you!”

No matter how much I tried, I couldn't stop a smile from appearing on my face. Even though my mother had returned now, Aunt May had basically be my mother for more than a decade. As such, hearing from her that she was proud of me made me feel warm all of a sudden.

“By the way, who is this girl Richard and Mary managed to adopt even in their captivity? Goodness, the girl looks like she had been raised in the wilderness. How could your parents raise a girl like that?” Aunt May asked.

“You mean Laura?”

“Yes, that is the girl's name. Do you know any details about her? Your parents are very secretive regarding her.” Aunt May asked, clearly curious about Laura.

“SHIELD must have asked them to not reveal any information. From what I know, she is a mutant girl born from HYDRA’s experiments. Since Mother had experience raising a child of similar age, HYDRA had put her as Laura's caretaker. From then on, my parents raised her although HYDRA still had much influence on her.” I told her as much as I could without revealing any secret information.

“Alright! When are you coming to meet them though? You must be pretty excited to meet them after so many years, right?” Aunt May asked acceptedly.

“I… I don't know, Aunt May.” I replied, my voice full of hesitation.

As much as I was excited to find that my parents were alive, it was just as hard to acknowledge their existence.

I had been literally raised by Uncle Ben and Aunt May. Since they had no child of their own, I was basically their son even though I still called them Uncle and Aunt.

Because of their financial situation, they had decided not to have a child of their own just so that they could raise me properly. If I went back to my parents who had been found after so many years, it would feel to me that I was betraying Uncle Ben and Aunt May.

And all of these feelings didn't even include the fact that I was Albion. It just opened a whole new can of worms.

If my parents found that their son had become a superhuman who was literally one of the strongest on Earth and didn't even look like how they had left him, would they even acknowledge me as their son?

“Peter, I know how your feeling right now. Yet Richard and Mary deserve to learn about their son whom they have seen for so many years.”

Honestly, it was obvious for Aunt May to know about my feelings in this matter since she had basically raised me.

“Alright, Aunt May! I will come as soon as possible.” I said with a sigh as I promised her before ending the call.

As I ended the call, I could see that my hands were shaking. I had not been this much afraid even when I had seen the massive Chitauri army during the Battle of New York. Even when I and Emma had been flung across dimensions and arrived at a parallel dimension, I had only been shocked but never scared.

Yet, my hands were now shaking at the near thought of meeting with my family whom I had thought was long that. It was clear to me that I was not ready to meet them in my current condition.

Taking a deep breath, I created a portal and stepped inside.

What was in front of me now was the huge X-Mansion which had lately become a second home to me.

With my emotional condition, I knew that it was obviously not good for me to be alone. Fortunately, I had a lot of people I could rely on.
