Chapter 60

"Master Bakuto!" Colleen smiled as she bowed, "this is a surprise master!"

"Yes, I was in the neighborhood and I thought I should drop by," he turned to me, "and this is?"

"Peter, Peter Parker, he's one of my best students, but unfortunately he has to leave," Colleen said giving me a very sad look.

"Really? What is that Mr. Parker?" Bakuto asked me with a gentle smile.

I paused, oh my god it's him! It's one of the top members of the fucking Hand! And he's right in front of me! Fuck!

I remained calm, gulping, "I-I just need to focus on my family right now. They need the cash. You know, for college and stuff."

"Well if that's the case I'm sure my organization would be happy to grant you a scholarship for further education, granted you perform well here."

I blinked, "what?"

"Sensei Bakuto here runs a very wealthy non-profit organization," Colleen explained with an excited smile, "he usually takes my best students and offers them a scholarship, the full ride."

"And if you are as impressive as Colleen says you are, then I'm sure you'll be able to get it," the man smiled. Yeah smile all you want buddy but I know for a fucking fact that you just want to turn me into a mindless drone.

"T-thanks, but I don't think that would be fair," I meet his glare and gulped, "it's just people like Marcus and all need the scholarship, I just need some cash on hand that's all. Please, don't worry about it, I'll be fine."

"You are doing a disservice to your talent Mr. Parker," Bakuto told me, "it would be a shame for your talent to go to waste."

"I would rather that then have my family sacrifice everything to make me happy," I shot back with a glare of my own, "I'm sorry, goodbye."

I walked out, Colleen called out for me to wait but I didn't listen, I ran out of there as soon as I could.

This was for the best, the last thing I needed was the Hand gaining an interest in me. They would be ruthless in killing me if they even suspected I knew anything. I need to get away.

I walked into the Baxter building and sighed, "hey guys! I'm back. Is anyone here?"

"In here Pete!" I heard Johnny call out.

I was surprised to hear laughter coming from inside the den. I quickly walked in and was shocked to find May and Ben sitting in the living room with the FF.

"Oh hey Peter! How was school?" Sue asked with a smirk.

"Ah...fine?" I blinked looking at May and Ben, "what are you guys doing here?"

"Well we figured it was time we looked into this place you spend so much of your time at," Ben replied, "and I have to say Peter you couldn't have picked a better place!"

"Oh, thanks Uncle Ben," Johnny smirked.

"Hey! Don't call him that! He's not your uncle!" I grumbled.

"Now Peter that's no way to talk to you're colleges, I expect you to treat them with respect," May scolded.

I blinked, "ah...okay….but you don't mean Johnny right?"

"Of course! Him too!"

"Ha! You best respect me Peter! Or else I'll tell your aunt!" Johnny laughed.'

"I'm going to douse you in kerosine Storm," I growled as his simply shrugged it off.

"Would you like some more tea?" Ben asked as he gently poured himself a cup.

"Oh thank you Ben that would be lovely," May smiled.

"Well May I think it's time to leave don't you?" Uncle Ben asked, "I'm sure Peter will feel embraced the longer we stay."

"Oh don't be silly dear I'm sure he doesn't mind," May shrugged.

Reed smiled, "no, he doesn't mind at all, don't you Pete."

"Et Tu Reed?" I gasped. Reed and the others chuckled as I say down with my aunt and uncle and we all spoke in general. Soon the packed up and left, leaving me alone with the FF, I let my smile drop and grew serious.

"I need to talk to you guys about something," I told them.

"It sounds serious, are you okay?" Sue asked, "is about...your other job?"

I nodded, "kind of. I….I was approached by a secret organization who knew who I was. They offered me a job."

Reed grew curious, "who?"

"SHIELD," I sighed.

Reed sighed, "crap."

Sue matched him, "this isn't good, not one bit."

"Who are they? I just know the basics, big spy agency, has a lot of toys and cash to throw around," I asked.

"SHIELD, or the Strategic Homeland Intervention Enforcement and Logistics Division," Sue explained, "you're right when you said they were spies, but they are much more than that. They have their fingers in every pie. They are the gatekeepers between the world and those that seek to do it harm. Or at least that's how our father always used to describe them."

"They aren't the sort you want on your tail, they have the resources and the people to take don small armies and topple governments," Reed continued, "what exactly did they say to you?"

I sighed and told them Fury's offer. I showed Sue Fury's proposal stored on my SA and she began to look it over carefully.

"So are you going to accept?" Johnny asked.

"Honestly? I don't think I have much of a choice. It was stupid to think I wouldn't be noticed, I'm just glad I'm getting a say in my fate," I sighed and admitted.

"I say take it," Ben's gravelly voice spoke up, "it's the best deal you're going to get Web-head, the training will keep you alive and I'm sure if this Fury guy thinks you're a valuable asset he won't try and get on your bad side."
