After his encounter with MJ's angry father, Fury didn't show his face to Peter for a while. Of course, Spider-Man saw the man almost every day, as they worked together.

Though Fury seemed to be in a horrible mood for the first few days after their little encounter.

'I would too if my daughter's boyfriend kept f*cking with me, and I couldn't do a damn thing about it...' Peter thought as he watched Fury flip out on Tony almost constantly.

——————————————

With the reports filed and each remaining AIM base raided, Peter officially closed the case of Aldrich Killian and his Extremis army.

After everything was said and done, all conspirators were detained and even a few surviving Extremis users were captured as well.

Of course, it's almost impossible to catch an Extremis user, as they have a tendency to explode before running out of energy and burning through any bindings, so the rare few that survived were those that turned themselves in.

These enhanced individuals are currently undergoing both mental and physical testing. Both to see if they can be recruited into the Avengers and to make sure they don't die a very explosive death.

Professor Xavier is handling the mental side of things, while Tony, Banner, and Beast were working on the Extremis side with the help of Doctor Hansen, as she knew everything about her own creation.

Maya has moved into the tower alongside her son, who just so happened to be around the same age as her and Tony's one-night stand, which took place almost 13 years ago.

'I'm not getting involved in that...' Peter thought and wondered if he should call Jerry Springer for a paternity test.

With the Killian situation finished, Peter knew that he had some breathing room before the next big bad guy came along.

'Well, Killian isn't exactly a big bad guy.' Peter thought as he couldn't help but compare the man and his combustible army to Malekith and his army of Dark Elves that should be next in line to arrive.

The Dark Elves are one the oldest known species in existence, hailing from the realm Svartalfheim. They are one of the mortal enemies of the Asgardians, the other, of course, being the Frost Giants.

Some members of their race have been shown to have the fortitude to wield an Infinity Stone.

The Reality Stone...

They are now presumed to be critically endangered as a species or even extinct, though Peter knew that they would rear their ugly heads soon enough.

As Peter was thinking of the coming events of Thor: The Dark World, Pepper came walking out of Tony's workshop with disheveled clothing and an odd gate in her step.

In fact, she is wearing the same clothes from yesterday...

Pepper looked around cautiously, as she closed the door behind her and started pacing away.

"Is this what they call the walk of shame?" Peter asks as he appears in front of her.

Not only that, but he even seemed to follow after this unknown woman like some sort of lost puppy.

'Jessica Jones?' Peter immediately recognized the woman. 'I didn't expect them to meet...'

"Jarvis found Thor's brother about a week ago, but I forgot to tell you." Tony says as he sends everything in the folder to Peter's phone. "There, now you have everything."

As his phone goes off, Peter whipped it out and quickly gave everything a once over.

"Thanks, maybe I'll go visit our city's resident prince." Peter says as he stashed his phone away. "Want to join me?"

"I'd love to, but I didn't exactly sleep much last night and I have a date tonight." Tony says as the idiotic look of bliss appears on his face once again.

"With Pepper?" Peter asks.

"Who else?" Tony raised an eyebrow as if that was a dumb question.

"Just checking..."

As Peter left the tower and swung through the city toward Alias Investigations, he wondered whether he should start recruiting the Defenders early.

The Defenders are a future team of four street-based superheroes who banded together to save New York City from the Hand.

Matt Murdock, also known as Daredevil. The man that was trained by Stick, as he has the same impairment as the old man.

Jessica Jones, also known as Jewel. A woman who once dreamed of being a superhero, but sadly, that dream was crushed by a mind-controlling r*pist.

Luke Cage, also known as Power Man. A wrongfully convicted criminal, who escaped from prison after receiving superpowers from some off the books experiments.

Last but certainly not least. Danny Rand, also known as The Iron Fist. A billionaire orphan, who was lucky enough to be rescued by monks after his parents' deaths and taken to the fabled K'un-Lun, where he was trained and later received the coveted title of Iron Fist.

All of these people would later come together and become a lower-budget version of the Avengers, though that may not happen anymore.

'Without the Hand as an enemy to bring them together, the Defenders most likely wouldn't exist in this world.' Peter thought as he arrived at Alias Investigations and rang the buzzer. 'Although the Defenders won't exist, that doesn't mean they can't form up as a team under the Avengers.'

Within a minute, Peter was buzzed in and the door in front of him unlocked. Alias Investigations was just a small office in an old building, so he would have to take the elevator upwards.

As the elevator opened, Peter was surprised to find a familiar face waiting for his arrival, like a dutiful secretary.

"Are you the new client-" Loki starts to speak but freezes in surprise.

"Hey there, Loki." Peter says as he walks out and pats the former prince of Asgard on the shoulder. "How has mortal life been treating you?"
