Chapter 55: Blue skies, red eyes, apple pies

"Where is he?" Superman asked very calmly.

But for some reason, the avengers weren't as calm when they heard that.

"Superman, He is a good kid despite acting the fool every now and then." Dr. Strange said with a twitching eye.

"Peter has put his life in danger to save others many times, he's a good person!" Elena said, hoping to gain her brother's recognition.

Kamar-Taj had not seen Spiderman's face in a few days since he found out that Superman is back.

As For Spiderman, he was in the Collins Farm in Branchville. He had come with the great news that Superman was back, and the Collins celebrated joyfully.

"Hide where they'd least expect it, in plain sight." Peter whispered as he read the art of warfare by Song Tsu.

"Peter, when will you call Kevin here? We've waited for days!" Papa bear said.

"He'll surely be very happy when he finds out that you're engaged with Elena, after all, you're his junior from school that he took care of, and you're also his junior in hero work!" Mama bear said while chuckling at the Weird coincidence.

'We did start to date right before he disappeared, and at that point I didn't know that she was Kevin's sister, nor did I know that Kevin is Superman.' Pete thought, trying to justify his relationship with Elena.

"And who would have thought that my brother in law would be the person I looked up to as Peter Parker, and at the same time looked up to, as Spiderman." Peter said chuckling as well at the coincidence.

"Yes so hurry up and bring him back, we've misse dhim dearly." Kevin's father said seriously.

"Mama bear, have you told her that he's alive yet?" Papa bear turned towards his wife and asked.

"Not yet, I don't know how, she was very devastated when the news reached her, and since then she reverted to her old, introverted self, barely speaking any words. Poor child." Kevin's mother spoke feeling empathic towards the said person.

"Mm, maybe we should let Kevin take care of that..." Kevin's father said, feeling the pain as well.

Peter listened on, without knowing who they were talking about, but he felt like he shouldn't ask. He would have, if superman had stayed dead, but now that he is alive, it feels dangerous finding out more about him.

Just the thought sent shivers down his spine, but as long as he shielded himself with his in-laws, he would be safe from Kevin, after all, they liked him and had a good relationship.

He understood how Kevin came to be the man he was, after getting to know the Collins. They were genuinely good people, reminding him of his aunt and uncle.

Superman didn't dare to stay in one place to long, he wanted as little contact with Ultron as possible, until Reed and Bruce came up with their anti Ultron device.

He didn't want to bring danger to his family, so for a few weeks, he didn't contact them. Superman showed himself and protected humanity all over the globe before hurriedly disappearing before Ultron could come up with other devious tactics.

Superman had once again started a combustion of hope, for everyone around the globe. And everyone started to feel like Ultron's rule would end sooner or later.

In some places, people even started joining in groups to fight back in rebellion against Ultron.

In an underground basement somewhere hidden on earth, sat an Ironman looking robot, made completely out of Vibranium.

It just sat there silently in the darkness, as its shining red eyes were staring at nothing.

Even though it didn't have any facial expressions, if anyone saw his face, they would get the feeling that the robot was seeing in anger.

This was Ultron's main body, and its mind was the internet. It was keeping a watch on everything and everyone.

"Superman... You shouldn't have come back." It spoke eerily.

As for Superman he was above the atmosphere, in the big sea of space, looking down towards the Collins farm. He had missed his family dearly.

Suddenly he found one of the culprits he had been looking for...

'Peter... Parker!' Superman thought as he looked at him interacting with his family. Seeing how his family had accepted him as their own, he felt relief for some reason.

No, he had always known that his parents had a great eye for people, and even though he found it annoying, Peter was a really good guy, albeit very annoying.

The reason he didn't like Peter and Elena together, was because of the dangerous life of a hero, but now that she had also walked that path...

Superman was looking down, feeling conflicted.

In the end, seeing his family, he couldn't help but to visit. He started moving so fast that everything stood still.

Superman saw the Collins family getting closer to him as he flew down.

As soon as he reached the ground, he ran at superspeed and searched the whole Collins house for any electric devices. Finding none, he breathed out in relief.

Tyrone suddenly appeared and changed his clothes to a t-shirt and jeans.

Even though he couldn't see any technological devices, he still didn't want to be seen outside so he went to sit on the couch and started reading a book.

His family was outside farming, and Peter was helping.

Kevin couldn't help but to smile as he finally got to feel the familiar feeling of being home once again.

Soon, half an hour went by as Peter started walking back to the house for a glass of water.

As he stepped inside and walked towards the kitchen he walked past the living room where Kevin was sitting.

Without looking up from his book, Kevin said "Hello Peter."

"Oh, Kevin you're back, finally, mama and papa bear were asking about you so much that I was getting a headache!" Peter chuckled as he continued walking towards the kitchen.

But suddenly he stopped in his tracks.

Every cell in his body was screaming at him that he was in mortal danger.

His face became pale, and his forehead started forming beads of sweat.

Seeing as Kevin didn't say anything, he started moving at an incredibly slow pace, hoping that superman wouldn't notice him.

As he reached the kitchen, he got himself two glasses of water and started shakingly walking out.

"Daddy... I mean Mr. and Mrs. Collins is very thirsty, so I thought it would be a good idea to bring them water. If I can't bring them the water alive, they might die of dehydration, I need to bring them the water... alive." He said as he robotically moved past the living room, as if talking to himself.

"I'll keep my eyes on you!" Kevin said eerily, loud enough for Peter to hear it.

"YOU WILL?" Peter shouted in excitement as his idol finally had his eyes on him.

Realising that Kevin didn't mean that in a positive way, Peter shivered.

"Ehem, I mean, of course you will." He said in fear.

When he went outside the door and still found himself alive, he breathed out in relief and started jogging away from the house, feeling as if it was a bomb ready to explode.

"Mummy, daddy, you should go inside, he's back!" Peter shouted to Mama and papa bear with a fearful tone.
