C23 : Is that a bird? A plane? Or maybe a...

Nick woke up on top of his bed, on his side, from the light coming through the windows he could tell that he had passed out for the entire night.

When he tried to push himself up from the bed, his arms shook and he felt weak as he fell back down to the bed.

Nick breathed heavily as he layed down on a bed, he felt around the bed weakly with all his hands and he felt something wet when he reached behind himself, he brought his hand up to his face and saw that it was covered in blood.

Nick just stared at his blood covered hand for a couple seconds, stone faced but worried inside, he then dropped his hand and called out weakly, "Jarvis."

"Yes Master Nick, what can I do for you?" Jarvis replied to Nick.

"Call Happy for me." Nick told Jarvis.

"Calling Mr. Hogan." Jarvis said as a phone calling sound was made from the phone in Nick's pocket, soon Happy picked up and answered, "Yeah, Nick, what do you want? I'm on my way over with Miss Potts'." Happy said loudly as he was calling into the phone as he was driving.

"I need help, I'm hurt badly and can't move, get here now." Nick said weakly with heavy breaths in between his words.

And even though the phone was in his pocket Happy seemed to have heard him, "What?! I'll be right there!" Happy shouted down the line as sounds of car horns and tyres screeching on the road came through as well.

"Hurry, I feel weak... " Nick trailed off as he passed out once again.

When Happy heard Nick's voice getting weak he shouted down the line once again, "Nick! Nick, stay awake!" But Nick was already passed out so he missed it.

...

Before Nick even had the chance to open his eyes he heard the sound of things breaking and the hurried footsteps of someone rushing down the corridor towards his room, he opened his eyes in time to see Happy rush into his room, the wood around lock splintered as the door was pushed open, Pepper follow in after him, she was just as rushed and panicked as Happy was.

"Nick! Are you ok?!" Happy shouted as he rushed into Nick's room, he then looked towards the bed and saw Nick there, covered in blood.

He ran to the side of the bed and checked Nick's pulse through Nick's neck, "I'm not dead yet." Nick said to Happy who was surprised that Nick was still talking after he had lot so much blood.

"Haah, you scared me kid, what happened to you? Your covered in blood but I don't see any injuries." Happy said relieved.

"Check my back." Nick told Happy.

"Your back?" Happy said as he looked towards Nick's back, he saw that it was slightly covered by a blanket and it seemed like something was underneath it, Happy reached his hand out and grabbed a hold of the blanket.

He lifted the blanket up and pulled it away which revealed these two large blue, bat like wings, Happy and Pepper were both very shocked when they saw Nick's wings for the first time and it showed on their faces, Nick saw their looks and started to become worried.

( They look like this (https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/334814553542044566/) and are that large when scaled to Nick's body size, and they are of course blue, they fold in like this (https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/557179785144270708/) and the basic look from behind (https://www.pinterest.co.uk/pin/265782815486301395/) )

"What? Is it bad?" Nick asked, panicked slightly.

"Yo- You have wings, Nick." Pepper told Nick as she moved closer and put out a hand to feel Nick's wings, Nick could feel someone touching him near his back but he knew it wasn't his back, it was a weird feeling, it reminded him of when he was first born into this world and he was getting used to have two extra arms and tail, but at the time it was easy because his new body instinctively knew how to use them both.

"I have wings." Nick said out loud without thinking, at the same time he tried to move them, making them twitch and spread out as he got used to the feel of them.

After getting used to the existence of his new wings Nick stopped trying to move them and said something to Happy and Pepper, "I think the blood is from growing these wings and I'm just weak from that, help me up, I need to get something to eat." Nick then reached out to Happy with one of his top hands and tried again to push himself up with his other hands.

Happy grabbed Nick's arm and put it around his neck, he couldn't put his hand around Nick's back so he asked Pepper to help, "Miss Potts can you get his other side, I can't hold him up by myself."

Pepper nodded and helped Nick up by grabbing his other side's top arm, "Urr, your pretty heavy." Pepper grunted as she tried to hold Nick up.

"It's the muscle and the new wings." Nick said as he folded in his wings so they could walk along more easily, but he still had to duck down to get pasted the door frame, the top of his wings were getting caught on it.

They were able to get Nick to the Kitchen where they sat him down on a bar style stool and Happy then opened the fridge and got out as much food as he could before he dumped it all down in front of Nick, while Nick ate Pepper went down to Tony's workshop to see if he was there to do a job for him.

Happy just watched over Nick incase he passed out again.

After Nick had eaten all the food and regained some strength he stood up and told Happy thank you and that he was going to take a shower to wash off the blood.

He had trouble getting all of his wings clean but he was glad that he had a very large shower that he could walk into.

After his shower he was standing in front of a large mirror in his bathroom, he was having his first look at himself after he got his wings, his horns had grown to 4.5'', just a half inch which when compared to the other rapid growths with his horns it was a small increase, his hair had also changed, it was now longer and the ends of his hair was red but the roots of his hair was still grey.

He then looked to his wings, they were bat like and he could see thin bones lining the wing and like his skin colour they were a light blue, when he spread them out as far as he could they spanned over 33ft.

He then folded them back in so they fit behind his back and walked out the bathroom into his bedroom, bending down slightly so his wings would go through the door, "Jarvis, make a reminder for uncle Tony, when he builds a new house or a skyscraper make sure the doors and ceilings are high enough that I can fit through." Nick told Jarvis as he walked too his chest of drawers, he opened it up and looked for a clothes that would work with his wings.

Jarvis replied with, "I will be sure to remind him Master Nick."

"Thanks." Nick replied to Jarvis, Nick the picked out a black tank top that had a big holes for his arms and so it also showed off his abs, he then ripped it up the back and ripped it so the bottom of the back had ties so the shirt didn't just fall off.

After changing he then walked out on to the balcony and spread out his wings, with one big flap of his wings he was in the air, at least 100 meters above the house, he then slowly got used to flying around in the air, doing different tricks like barrel rolls and loop, but he also practiced the basic flying techniques like flying in place and diving and then pulling up before he hit the ground, he also practiced sudden turns and how fast and slow he could fly.

After a good hour of flying practice Nick decided it was time to go back in so he started to fly back to the house, when he got closer he saw that there was a hole in the roof which went down to Tony's workshop.

He went above it and then folded in his wings which made him drop like a pencil dive into water, he was just tight enough to fit through the hole his uncle had made, when he was getting close to the ground in the workshop he spread his wings wide and the sudden air resistance slowed down his fall enough that it didn't hurt him when he landed on a dented car that just gained a new dent in the shape of Nick's feet.

The first thing he saw in the workshop was Tony working on his armour, Nick walked over to his uncle which got his attention and when Tony saw Nick's wings the look on his face was that of pure shock and surprise, "You have wings, I thought she was kidding when she told me that you now had wings." Tony said out loud without realising.

"Yeah, they're cool right?" He asked Tony rhetorical.

"I came to tell you that I'll be away for a couple hours practicing my flying techniques." Nick explained to Tony, but he was only going away so that he didn't effect the original story line.

"What will you be doing?" Nick asked.

"I sent Pepper off to get information from my work computer at Stark Industries, hopefully there is some incriminating evidence on it that can get rid of Obadiah." Tony explained.

"Alright, call me if you need some muscle or something." Nick replied.

"What? You don't think I'm enough muscle? I'm insulted, I thought we were close." Tony said as he pretended to be upset.

"Hahaha, I'll see you later uncle." Nick laughed before he teleported away.

...

Nick had teleported away so he didn't get in the way of the story line but he also wanted to go see how his friends were doing, Peter and Ned.

He had teleported directly into Peter's room and the first thing he saw was Peter in a red and blue hoodie with a red balaclava that had sunglass lenses sewn into it, there was also a crude black spider logo spray paint on the front and back of the hoodie.

Peter was shooting webbing from his wrists as he tried to grab and pull things towards him, make over the top poses as he did it, Nick just so happened to teleport just at the right time, standing in the middle of the room he was hit in the stomach by one of Peter's webs.

"Huh? Nick! Oh, sorry about that, I kind of got carried away with the webbing." Peter said as he shot up and apologised to Nick as he tried to get the webbing off Nick's clothes, when he finally did and looked up at Nick he finally noticed Nick wings, that were folded behind him.

"Wow! You have wings! That's so cool, can you take me for a fly?!" Peter shouted excitedly.

"Sure, I need to practice flying with another person but first... what are you wearing?" Nick asked as he looked Peter up and down.

Peter froze and seemed to realise that he was still wearing his superhero clothes that he had just put together, "Umm, they are clothes to hide my identity, when I use my powers in public, so I don't get aunt May involved with any bad guys like the ones who ... umm, left the scars on your back." Peter explained, but then seemed to realise what he was saying at the end, his expression took a U-turn from his previous excitement over his costume.

"Don't worry about it about it Peter, I know you want to use your new powers to help people, but your not going out there like that, I'll get my personal tailor to make you a suit. Ah, that reminds me, I need to go get May's clothes back from her and I need her to make some clothes that will work with my wings." Nick told Peter.

Peter just nodded his head to Nick, "Alright get changed into some normal clothes and we will fly over to Midtown high to pick up Ned." Nick told Peter, Peter then quickly got changed into some normal clothes and looked to Nick to know what to do next.

"Alright turn around and we'll go." Nick told Peter to do, but Peter just looked at Nick weirdly but he still turned around so his back was facing Nick.

"And why do I need to turn around?" Peter asked with a frown.

"So I don't drop you." Nick said before he used all his arms to grab ahold of Peter.

Peter's last thoughts before Nick teleported away were, 'Drop me?'.

...

"Wow! We're so high up!" Peter shouted excitedly as Nick flied them around the New York skyline, he waved to the gawking office workers in the skyscrapers they pasted, Nick then increased his speed and flapped his wings harder, as he picked up speed the thin piece of skin that made up his wings were painted with pulsing red vein's that gave someone a feeling of power, when the red energy pulsed in the wings vein's Nick's speed increased even move and with one more finale flap of his strong wings he shot forward and a small sonic boom sounded behind him, making the windows below them rattle and shake.

Within minutes they were at the school and they were just in time as well, for the end of the school day, students were spilling out of the front doors like a pierced water balloon.

Nick used his Byakugan to single out Ned and then slowed down as he went down towards him, as he went down he gained the attention of everyone that was leaving the school, they all started taking pictures of Nick as he descended, when Nick was around 5 meters above the ground he let go of Peter and let him fall to the ground right in front of Ned, Peter of course landed on his feet with out any discomfort on his face.

Any other person would have broken or at least sprained their ankles from a fall of that hight but Peter's abilities let him land perfectly, Nick then slowed himself down as he landed so he landed gently, after landing he folded in his wings and walked up to Ned and Peter, who was explaining to Ned about Nick's wings.

"That is so cool! I would love to be able to fly, but heights scare me." Ned explained to Nick after he joined him and Peter.

While the three friends talked to each other, people around them continued to take pictures of Nick but it was only from a distance as they remember what Nick did to Flash on his first day and what his tail hid, but there was an exception.

"Hey, your wings are really cool, can you take me for a ride handsome?"
