I should jump out of airplanes more often because this is FUCKING AMAZING!!! I aim my body straight down to reach my terminal velocity as soon as possible so I can reach the ground sooner than later. Once I came into building height I shoot out a web and use the swing to change my direction to slow down my momentum. Well as much as you can slow down without distributing your initia into other objects besides the molecules that's in the air. I keep swinging through the city until I came down to a slow enough speed I that I can control with much better ease. I swing down to the civilians that are still pinned in their cars or are trapped under some rubbles caused by the Hulk's rampage. I tried my best to clean up and help out as much as I can because the police officers are starting to slowly approach me after recollecting themselves and gathering some courage after witnessing the destruction of the Hulk. Not wanting to have to make any statements or take pictures, I jumped into the air to swing away just as one of them was about to close in on me. Whether it was to thank me or to ask questions I do not know. All I know is that it's my time to go.
I land on top of a building and active my tracking spell of my carry on luggage. Anddd aHA there it is. It's still in the sky hovering above the city. I wave at the Avengers to come pick me up and to my surprise they really did come down. I was expecting them to leave after picking up Banner and Stark because I, the random hitchhiker, had finally left their vehicle. But I guess since it's full of so many good righteous people that they wouldn't just leave me here. Not until they get some answers from me, like:
"What's in the bag kid?" Tony looks at me with suspension while pointing at the ball of white goop that's sticking to an interior wall of the jet. "Oh that? That's just my carry-on for this flight. Honestly I must I'm pretty nervous being on an airplane for the first time...well I guess technically this will be my second time." I turn over to look at Romanoff and she seems to had cracked a smile from my joke. "Hey eyes over here pal. First my team took a really big hit and I had to deal with a ramaging Hulk. Now I have tagalong riding with me. Do you know what we had to deal with back there?" I nod my head. "Yes I saw the whole thing and I'm not surprised. You guys are used to dealing with mobs of cannon fodders, not specialists." I clear my throat. "With all due respect Mr. Stark, I think you guys are in need of help. If it wasn't for me sending you guys some help this morning I don't know y'all would've found Ultron this soon."
Stark looks at me with a stern look before laughing in defeat and exhaustion. "Look kid, we appreciate the help but this is some serious stuff. I don't think you need to get yourself involved with this." I get out a chuckle too as I lean back against my chair. "You mean I shouldn't help you guys stop the end of the world? Look I grew up loving you guys and y'all are everything that I ever wanted to be. And here I am trying to do my part in helping save the world. I was there when New York got hit. I lost my entire family on that day." No I didn't. "And it was you guys that were my standing beacon of hope. If you Tony, hadn't flew into that wormhole I don't think I would be alive to this day to help save others."
Tony and the everyone remained quiet for a few minutes before Tony walks over the a computer to begin calling Maria Hill. She gave him a report on what's been happening outside of the jet while also tryin her best to give any help or advice from her end. Eventually the call ended with Tony asking Maria to give him anything that she can find about me. "Hey ah I'm right here Stark. If you have any questions just ask me." I call out and wave at Maria before the screen turn black. Tony stand up and walk over to Clint to give him a break but was refused because Clint already has a destination en route. "Erm Barton do you want to drop me off somewhere else? I don't think it'll be appropriate for me to come to your safe house on the first day off meeting you guys." I try to act like a shy nervous teen that's slowly getting embarrassed from the tought of being under the same roof as their senpai. Imagine kid Hinata if you will.
"Kid don't worry about that. You're a good person and can stay with us until this blows over. Now get some rest because we still have a few hours to go." I shrugged my shoulder since I tried to give Barton an out of bringing a total stranger into his home but I guess I must've made a pretty good first impression. I shoot some webs into a corner of the jet and make myself a makeshift hammock to sleep in. This might be my first full rest in nearly 35 hours. I climb in and cacoon myself up before slowly drifting into REM sleep. "This guy really is bug theme everything." Thor whisper to Steve while looking at my little corner of the room.
After a few hours we finally arrived on a sunrise farm in bumfuck nowhere USA. Hey I'm not judging though, being this far away from the rest of the world and all of it's bullshit sounds like it could be peaceful. Hell even Thanos had a farm he was ready to retire to once he was done with his life long mission. There's really nothing like being left alone to live out the rest of your days in peaceful isolation with everything you need to survive and remain sane being in the palm of your hands....maybe I should find a farming planet too once I'm done with my life goals. Anyways Barton introduced us to his family and welcomed us to his hideaway house that's 100 percent self sufficient and off the grid. I'm not sure why but I seem to be pretty popular with his kids. Maybe it's because I'm a new guy they haven't seen on TV yet or I just have the same vibes and wavelength as a kid that I know how to deal with them. Or maybe it's because I gave them a little magic show before Barton told them to go back to finishing their chores.
Welp that didn't last long and niether did Thor. He just left to go skinny dipping in a pool of acid to try and remember his vision. Of course he didn't say that exactly but I know just a little bit about the future of this world....as long as me being here doesn't already fuck it up due to the butterfly affect. Hell now Ultron doesn't have the mind stone and has even less vibranium to use for his body and world ending device...speaking of body. Would Vision even be a thing in this world? Now it seems like everyone has gotten out of their work clothes and are back in their regular civilian outfits. I didn't want to feel left out so I did the same...except I kept my helmet on because of reasons.
"So Silk, just who are you really?" I turn around to look at Steve as he approach me on the porch. I'm currently sitting in a rocking chair that I created by chopping down a tree and shaping the wood into the shape that I needed for the chair. "Want a seat Cap?" I pull out the other rocking chair that I was probably blocking and he sits down next to me. "Thank you." Rogers can't help but be polite. "Well I already told you, I'm the Mystic Spider and my name is Silk Touch. As for my legal name well that's a different topic that I won't share just yet. I'm a kid from Queens and I grew up wanting to be like you guys ever since your debut in New York on that Day." Steve puts on a smile as it seems like I'll give him any answers except the one he wants.
"Then let me ask you this. How did you know Ultron was going to Ulysses and how did you send us the files that we needed?" I start rocking the chair for a bit before responding. "I had a vision too. Being a master of the mystic arts I can periodically get a glimpse of the future during my sleep." It's total bullshit. "Early this week when I saw on the news that you guys had just left Sokovia that night I had a dream. A dream of all the avengers either died or dying at the feet of a man in metal. When I woke up I realized I needed to help y'all but I knew that I just can't walk into the Avengers tower and say I had a dream and that y'all need to believe. So uhmm." I clear my throat in a fake cough. "I broke into Stark's firewall and began downloading a few things that might or might not be helpful for you guys in the future..." I turn to look at Steve's reaction to my bullshit story. After a few moments of silence he finally responded.
"Well thank you for that. If you hadn't done what you had to do to help us, I don't think we would've been able to find Ultron in Africa so fast. The only problem now is that we let him get away with the vibranium and nearly destroyed half a city." I nod my head but then point my finger towards the jet. "Well not all of it. I still have some in the jet. That's why you guys couldn't get into my luggage. I've taken some very expensive souvenirs back with me." Steve puts on a look of disappointment and disapproval while looking at me with suspension. "And what are you planning on doing with that?"
"Oh just some simple experiments and I want to try making a new suit for myself. This bad boy that I'm wearing is nice and all but I need some finer and better materials if I want to have a fighting chance for the big league." I point my finger up towards the sky. "I don't want to sound arrogant and like a dick but on Earth, there's probably only a handful of people that can go toe to toe with me. And half of them are already on this team but up there? Up there is where the endless possibilities lie. There could be beings far stronger than any of us combined and to them we're just nothing but a speck of dust amongst a beach of sand and dirt. Which is why I want to be as ready as possible for anything that's beyond my expectations." Steve slowly nods his head before sighing and getting up from his chair. We both turn our heads as we hear Tony walking out of the barn only to see a dark man following closely behind him. "Is that Nick motherfucking Fury?" I put a hand over 'eyes' to block out the setting sunlight and to get a better view.

After eating an awkward dinner with the Barton family, the kids and Mrs. Barton finally left to leave the boy dogs to talk amongst themselves. I should probably leave too but I don't really have anywhere to go nor do I feel like I fit in just yet. Hell it's a good thing my helmet is designed to be like a cross between the Dark Knight and Kamen Rider X because I would never have been able to enjoy dinner with the crew without having to fully take off my helmet. Anyways it's time for the monologue meeting...
"Now before I start this thing, I just want to address the elephant in the room. Just who in the world is that." A finger is being pointed at me as I try to put my jaw back onto my helmet. "Huh? Oh hi I'm Silk Touch, nice to meet you Fury." I wave at Fury before continuing to do my own thing. "You don't have to worry about him Boss, he's a new guy we picked up in Africa. Apparently he's American but he had been helpful to us during our lowest time. He's a good kid." Romanoff speaks on my behalf while I finally finished putting my helmet back together.
"Hmm if you all deem him helpful then I'll begin the meeting." Fury looks around the room before continuing. "Ultron took you folks out of play to buy himself time. My contacts all say he's building something. The amount of Vibranium he made off with, I don't think it's just one thing."
"What about Ultron himself?" Steve looks up at Fury from the doorway.
"He's easy to track, he's everywhere. Guy's multiplying faster than a Catholic rabbit. Still doesn't help us get an angle on any of his plans though."
"Then it's something big. Something that can end the show on one hit." I chime in while receiving the burning stare of Fury. "What? With that many working clones and bodies, he must be building a big weapon. I've seen too many movies where someone like this happened." I walk back into the dinning room to join the circle. I lean up against a wall with my arms crossed.
"Is he still going after the nuclear codes?" Tony ask while throwing some darts at the board. "Yes he is but he's not making any headway." Fury walks over to the table with a drink in his hand. "How? I cracked the pentagon's firewall in highschool on a dare." Tony lifts up an eyebrow while looking back at Fury.
Fury: "Yeah, well, I contacted our friends at the NEXUS about that."
Rogers: "NEXUS?"
Banner and I: "It's the world internet hub in Oslo, every byte of data flows through there, fastest access on earth."
Barton: "So what'd they say?"
Fury: "He's fixated on the missiles, but the codes are constantly being changed."
Stark: "By whom?"
Fury: "Parties unknown."
Romanoff: "Do we have an ally?"
I let out snort. "Uh sorry, just ignore me. I didn't say anything."
Fury seems irritated but continues. "Ultron's got an enemy, that's not the same thing. Still, I'd pay folding money to know Who it is." He turns to look at me while emphasing who.
Stark: "I might need to visit Oslo, find our 'unknown'."
Romanoff: "Well, this is good times, boss, but I was kind of hoping when I saw you, you'd have more than that."
Fury: "I do, I have you. Back in the day, I had eyes everywhere, ears everywhere else. Here we all are, back on earth, with nothing but our wit, and our will to save the world. Ultron says the Avengers are the only thing that stands between him and his mission. And whether or not he admits it, his mission is global destruction. All this, laid in a grave. So stand. Outwit the platinum bastard."
Romanoff: "Steve doesn't like that kind of talk."
Rogers: "You know what, Romanoff?" Natasha smiles mischievously at him.
Fury: "So what does he want?"
Me: "To become a real boy."
Rogers: "To become better. Better than us. He keeps building bodies."
Stark: "Person bodies. The human form is inefficient, biologically speaking, we're outmoded. But he keeps coming back to it."
Me: "Like I said, a real boy."
Romanoff: "When you two programmed him to protect the human race, you amazingly failed."
Banner: "They don't need to be protected, they need to evolve. Ultron's going to evolve." My eyes begin to shine just a little bit as an idea popped into my head.
Nick Fury: "How?"
Banner: "Has anyone been in contact with Helen Cho?"
And with that the meeting came to an end as everyone left to go out their work clothes back on. Well since my work clothes are already packed and ready I decide to clean up the table to do some dishes while waiting for everyone. After a short couple of minutes the trios of assassins got suit up and ready for Korea. "Hey Silk, you're coming with us." Steve called out to me before walking over to talk to Tony. While Clint is still taking with is wife and having one last embrace, I was already done with doing the dishes. I dry myself off with a towel and walking over to the couch to grab my backpack. I head into the jet and strap myself in as I wait for everyone else to arrive.
After a few hours of flying we finally arriving in the South Korean Airspace. I pull on my backpack and my suit begin to shift over on to my body like a blurry mesh. "Just how are you able to do that?" Romanoff looks at my suit with astonishment and curiosity. It's not everyday that someone can put on a suit without needing to change out of their current clothes. Only Stark can do such a thing but his suit comes together in pieces not out of thin air. "Oh just a little magic." I chuckle while walking to the back of the jet with Rogers as we both get ready to jump down on top of a building.
