    Summary

    All across New York City the boroughs are crying out with one voice, asking a question everyone wants the answer to.

    Where is Spiderman?

    But no one is asking about Peter Parker.

    So, he sits alone. Contemplating how his life could have gone so downhill. Grief and nausea well up in his chest and the boy quickly shoves it back down. A shiver courses through him as the cold November air seeps into the building and through his thin clothing. And on the back of his navy blue overshirt, in blocky, white letters, reads the words:

    CROSSROADS JUVENILE CENTER
    BROOKLYN NY
    INMATE 3042

    ==========

    The world seems content with ignoring this young teen. That is, until Tony Stark shows up and asks him if he wants to go to Germany.

    Summary

    “Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned."

    “Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value.

    Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result.

    Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard.

    -

    All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

    Summary

    again and he silently begged for any sea god to please let him out of the dizzying, pitch-black hell. His body ached from getting beaten into the box’s side. The water was stale and disgusting in his gills. There wasn’t any light and he couldn’t see anything.

    He was so full of fear he was beginning to get numb to it.

    He didn’t know what these humans wanted with him, but he knew it couldn’t be good if they started by shoving him into this too-small box and tossing him around like a boat on an angry sea.

    Summary

    It seemed as though a truce had been struck; not a very strong one and definitely not one born of anything more than the need for survival on one part and the desire to be rid of the half-dead fish thing on the other.

     

    ---

    Clark found something on the beach. That thing turned out to not be as dead as he first thought.
