As Peter descended out of the plane, he could see the flailing form of Killian, who was looking up at him as he fell faster and faster with every second.
Turning his attention away from the fleeing madman, Peter flipped and looked up at the row of planes soaring through the clouds.
"You should have surrendered..." Peter said, though Killian wouldn't be able to hear him.
With a simple wave of his hand, Peter repeated his actions from earlier in the day.
Before Killian's very eyes, ten golden portals appeared directly in front of his fleet of transport planes, tearing the wings off as they swallowed the cabins whole.
No doubt, they joined the other half of his army in the cold dark vacuum of space.
A dead look appeared on Killian's face as he stopped flailing and just laid still in the sky.
His reputation was ruined, one by one all of his plans were thwarted, and now the army which he spent years and billions of dollars to cultivate has been completely wiped out.
Nothing was left.
'Why...' Killian thought over and over.
Seeing that Aldrich had the appearance of a dead fish, Peter didn't bother chasing him and simply fell, knowing that they would meet on the ground either way.
As they both neared the green earth below alongside the remaining plane parts, which followed closely behind, Peter opened a portal directly below himself.
The portal lead to the ground directly below, but opened upwards toward the sky. Entering the portal, Peter's body was shot up into the air.
Just as his acceleration started to slow down, Peter passed Killian, who kept falling and hit the ground with a sickening crack, creating a small crater in the ground.
Letting himself fall at a much lesser speed, Peter landed a meter away from Killian and watched as his mangled form slowly healed as an orange glow overtook his entire body.
"Damn, you actually survived." Peter commented and looked up into the sky once again.
Although they were currently in an unpopulated area, Peter didn't want to deal with the cleanup, so he waved his hand once again, creating another batch of portals, which swallowed the falling debris before it could make a mess.
"I...Hate...You." Killian gasped as he writhed on the floor, feeling everything that is currently happening to his body.
From his bones snapping back into place, to his open wounds sealing shut, Killian felt it all in excruciatingly painful detail.
"Hey, I offered you an easy way out." Peter says with a shrug as he watched the Extremis formula do its work. "Don't come crying to me. You made your decision and now you have to live with it."
"..." Killian has no words to speak as he stared up at the blue cloudy sky, wondering what he could have done differently.
"Alright, let's get you detained, shall we?" Peter says as he waves his hand and conjures a portal underneath Killian.
"Huh?" Aldrich grunted as he fell into a special cell for Extremis users in the Towers detainment floor.
"Have a nice stay." Peter says, as if Killian was checking into a hotel, and closed the portal.
———————————————
Arriving back at the tower, Peter held off on visiting his new daughter for a moment, as he needed to finish up the Killian situation.
"Welcome back, sir." Jarvis says upon his arrival.
"Thanks, but I have some work for you, Jarvis." Peter doesn't waste any time. "Contact that Joshua guy, who snitched on Killian. I need locations on every remaining AIM base. Also, call in Steve and his team from the last mission. I have some work for them."
"Yes, sir." Jarvis replies instantly. "Should I inform Joshua of his employers defeat?"
"Sure, but also make him aware that his cooperation and assistance will help clear his name of any wrongdoing." Peter says as he sits back and waits for everyone to arrive. 'I just hope that the man I'm looking for wasn't on one of those planes...'
...
An hour later, Jarvis received a short list of Killian's remaining bases, which was swiftly handed off to Steve and his team, who left as soon as they were able.
Of course, MJ was among them.
She still wasn't a full-fledged member of the Avengers, as Peter has to bring it up in the next meeting, but that didn't mean that she couldn't tag along.
She would be working with them regularly soon enough anyway.

Once everything was handed off to Steve and Peggy's capable hands, Peter opened a portal to his penthouse and appeared before the terminal webcam.
"W-Who are you?!" Lily stuttered as she tried to act tough. "My Daddy is very strong, so you should leave while you can..."
Stopping in place for a moment, Peter remembered that he was wearing his spider suit, so his daughter didn't recognize him.
"Hehehe, where's the money, kid?" Peter jokes as he pretends to be a thief.
"I-I don't have any money." Lily sounded like she was on the verge of crying.
'Maybe I should save jokes like this for when she's more than a single day old?' Instantly, Peter felt bad as he pulled off his mask and smiled warmly at the webcam. "Sorry, Lily. I got a bit carried away."
"Daddy?!" She yelled in surprise as she realized what just happened. "You're so mean!"
"Sorry..." Peter says as he couldn't help but crack a smile.
"Uhh... I'm not talking to you anymore." Lily said as Peter pictured her turning her head away with a huff.
"Oh, really?" Peter says as he smirked into the camera. "I was going to give you some more cartoons to watch, but If you're not going to talk to me-"
"Cartoons?" Lily immediately broke her vow of silence. "Which ones? I already finished the ones from yesterday."
"Well, I have the next seasons of the ones you watched and a new one called Young Justice." Peter says as he holds up a USB drive for her to see.
"What's Young Justice?" She asks curiously.
"It's about superheroes, like me." Peter says as he plugs in the drive.
Although this is a Marvel world, it has almost everything Peter's old world had, even DC comics.
Of course, Marvel comics don't exist, as that would either be a depiction of real-life events or the writings of a prophet, who can somehow predict the future.
"You're a superhero?" Lily asks, as Peter never told her.
"Yeah, but it's a secret, so don't tell anyone, okay?" Peter whispers as he puts a finger on his lips.
"What's your power?" Lily asked in wonder.
...
After explaining his powers and showing off a bit, Lily had one final question for Peter.
"Can I be a superhero too, Daddy?" She asked.
"When you're old enough."

While Peter was dealing with his new daughter, Tony was informed about the new prisoner on the detainment floor and decided to pay the man a visit.
Passing through a bunch of different security checks, Tony arrived at a hallway filled with prison cells made of what appeared to be glass. Each one had a toilet, a drinking fountain, and a twin-sized bed.
After passing a few empty cells, Tony found the only occupied cell in the entire hallway.
The man inside was currently breathing fire at the glass wall, which wasn't melting or budging a single bit. Portions of his clothes were on fire and the bed in the corner was set ablaze as well.
"Is it too cold in there?" Tony asks jokingly as he walks over and stands inches from the glass. "I can turn up the heat in there if you want?"
Hearing a familiar voice, Killian stops his dragon's breath. As the fire and smoke cleared, he could see the man he hated more than any other on the other side of the glass.
Though Peter may give Tony a run for his money in that department.
"What do you want?" Killian asks angrily. "Came to gloat?"
"No, just wondering what I did to you?" Tony asks genuinely.
A look of realization appears on Killian's face, though it soon settles into self-deprecation.
"You don't even remember me, do you?" Killian asks in shock.
All the time and energy he spent hating Tony Stark, and the guy didn't even remember his existence.
Somehow, this only made his hate for Tony grow even more, as his body began to brighten in rage.
"Well, I meet a lot of people every day..." Tony makes up an excuse.
"You know, Stark..." Killian says with a false calmness as he glows brighter and brighter. "There was a time that I idolized you. Now, I just wish that we never met."
*Boom!*
Before Tony could reply, Killian's body exploded in orange flames, rattling the glass-like cell with the impact.
...
Tony just stood there for a while in silence, wondering whether he actually caused this, or if Killian was always a maniac waiting to happen.
Though at the end of the day, he couldn't help but feel responsible.
