66 Issue 66: A New Age Part 3

Author Note: Just to let you know, the new content basically starts at the Secret Wars End Chapter. I also edited the whole story up to this point, tried to add better jokes and fix the majority of the grammar issues. I have to chapter 100 for you guys to read, some are 2,000 words, and others are up to 8 thousand or more, so you have some double and triple chapters in it too. Enjoy!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Peter entered his company building and met with a group of people, some star struck, other's looking at him as if they were sizing him up.

"Hello," Peter smiled as he made his hero suit turn into a business suit.

"We have a lot to talk about,"

Peter looked at the group surrounding his conference table.

There was Anna Maria, Max Modell, Betty Ross, Debra Whitman, Richard Parker, Miles Warren, Emily Osborn, Samuel Smithers, Daisy Johnson, and Bobbi Morse.

Peter summoned portals in front of everyone and made a series of files fall through them.

"I've listed several projects for the company to move in. I've provided labs, resources, and funding for all your department. It's your job to make affordable products to keep them open. However, with the gold I gave you, it'll be impossible for you all to not turn a profit. Just remember, I prefer products that make a difference in this world. Reforestation, trash removal, recycling, improving medical procedures, anything is on the table as long as it can be sold for a fair price."

The group looked through the documents and found several technologies and ideas that were leagues ahead of what they've been working on before. 

"What will you be doing?" Emily asked.

"I'm a Super Hero, an Avenger, and a Scientist. It'll be a busy life, but that's why I've gathered you all here. This isn't just my company, it's our workplace, and each of us will take turns leading in projects. I've already got a line of products ready for a sale, and my new A.I Samatha will be taking care of the company for the most part while I'm out at my other job. In fact, those that are currently in charge and sort of treat it as a vacation, because there isn't much you need to do, answer a few calls, sign some papers the A.I approves of, and mostly idle." 

They all discussed wages and work hours for everyone and then on to what projects they'd be working on.

It took him a couple hours to get everything in order before he had to leave.

"Avengers," Peter said as he pulled up his phone and answered.

"HOW DID YOU DO IT?" Fury shouted on the other line.

"What?" Peter chuckled.

"You know damn well what,"

"Oh, that. That'll be covered in the meeting. You'll have to be a good boy and find out."

"!@$#%#$@!"

Peter laughed as he hung up before Richard said, "Are you sure that's a good idea?"

"I am. He knows if I'm jerking him around, I have good news."

"And that new is?" The Father Parker lifted a brow.

"I cracked and improved the Super Soldier Serum. I'll also be empowering our family."

"WHAT?" Richard shouted with wide eyes.

Peter waved goodbye as he stepped through the portal he made.

"Wait! Peter!"

He found himself in Avenger Towers, waiting for the crew to gather. Kicking his feet up on the table, Peter made his mask and gloves appear, but he kept the business attire.

Fury was the first one through the door.

"Enough jacking me around, speak, Parker."

"You're coming at me all wrong. You act like I did something bad," Peter smirked.

"Wipe that smirk off your face, boy!"

"How'd you know? I have a mask on!" Peter thought before coughing into his hand, "I think she can explain."

"No, she hasn't left Steve's room since you dropped her off."

"And how do you know that?"

"A damn text!" Fury held up the phone.

"Young again, at Steve's place. Don't contact me," Peter read the text before he saw the picture confirming it.

"Phhhahahahahah!" Peter pointed and laughed.

Before Fury could shout, the doors opened, and Tony came strolling in.

"Pete! You look older,"

"I spent a year in a room that has a faster flow of time. I turned 18 a while ago."

"Ah, and you didn't invite me to your party?" Tony pouted a little bit.

"I'll make it up to you. How do you feel like going to an alien planet that used to be the head of an ancient celestial being."

"Sounds like a blast. When do we leave," Tony smirked, thinking Peter was pulling his leg.

"Right after we set up a list for people to get the Captain America Treatment."

"Wait, are you telling me?" Tony started to get giddy and actually vibrated out of sheer excitement.

"I cracked it a while ago. I just wanted it to be a surprise," Peter chuckled.

"He didn't just figure it out, he improved it," Fury shouted as he slapped his forehead.

"Enough about me, how the Bleeding Edge Project coming?"

Tony smirked and looked coy as he said, "I finished it."

"Right on, show me!" Peter stood up as Tony slapped the reactor and made the suit appear.

"WICKED!" Peter shouted with stars in his eyes.

"I am far more impressive," Webster commented.

"Yeah, but let me geek out!" Peter laughed as he poked the strangely soft metal.

The doors opened again before the rest of the Avengers came walking through, MJ, Bruce, Natasha, Clint, Steve, Peggy, and even Matt.

"Why's the lawyer here?" Tony whispered.

"Well, for starters, I want him to be an Avenger and will be the first one I empower."

"What?" Matt looked confused.

Peter sighed, "Look, Shield has known about your identity for a while. So, no need to hide it."

"Okay, who is he?" Tony crossed his arms.

"Do you mind?" Peter asked as he looked at Matt.

"Not like it matters. Stark can probably hack the information if Shield has it."

"That I can, but I'd still like to hear it," Tony smiled.

"Ever hear of the Devil of Hell's Kitchen?" Peter smiled.

"But he's blind?"

"So is Dare Devil. He's got heightened senses and echo location."

"Really?" Tony walked over and threw a pen at him.

Matt caught it and handed it back, "Really?"

"Isn't that like faking a disability?" 

"I'm still blind," D.D rolled his eyes.

"Yeah…but not really?" Tony replied.

"Okay, I called you here to discuss who'd be on the Super Soldier Serum candidacy list."

"How come I'm not first?" Tony sounded offended, betrayed even.

"Because I owe Matt, he made me a billionaire. Relax, I'll get through everyone in this room." 

"I'm not sure that's a good idea for me," Bruce spoke up.

"I know, that's why you'll be going to Kamar-Taj to learn magic. I think you'll find the answer on how to balance that other side of you and help you get the power without losing it to rage."

"You really think that's possible?"

"I do. You just need to invest the time to learn," Peter opened two portals. 

One led to his lab while the other led to Himalayas. 

"I had Wong agree to help teach you. Though now I owe him one," Peter said as he patted Bruce on the back.

"Magic, huh?"

"Magic," Peter laughed.

He stepped through while the other walked into his lab.

"Peter, you always take me to the best places," Tony smirked as he looked around.

"Careful, Pepper might get jealous," MJ laughed before pinching Peter's waist, "This is what you had to show me?"

"Owww. Yeah…so, impressed?"

"Very," MJ gave him a kiss.

"Matt, please take of your shirt and pants before getting in. The more skin you show the better your body will absorb the solution."

"Do I have to?"

Nat grinned before saying, "Yeah, now strip."

He pulled his tie loose before stripping down to his boxers.

"Not bad," Nat grinned, "I can see why Electra likes to brag."

"Okay! Can we get this over with!" Matt said with a red face.

He hoped inside and went through the same process Peggy went through.

When he came out, he was a few inches taller, and his muscles were more pronounced. He was in every sense of the word a Super Soldier now.

"How do you feel?" Peter asked as he handed him his clothes.

"I…can see…hahahah!" He stepped out of the pod and stumbled a bit. However, he closed his eyes and still noticed that he still had his echo location but was even clearer than it was before. Not only did his strength rapidly improve, but all of his senses had as well.

"I feel great, Pete."

"Glad to hear it, Tony you're up next, then Fury, Natasha, and then Clint."

"Why am I last?" 

"You said my jokes suck," Peter stuck his tongue out.

"Quit your belly aching, Peter and I are last," MJ chuckled.

"Yep."

And so, Tony giddily stripped down and jumped in the pod after it refilled with a new batch of liquid.

After the process was completed, he jumped out and grinned as he flexed his muscles, "I feel like a teenager again. We are so giving Pepper and Rhodey the same treatment," Tony took his suit back and made a mirror, "Damn! I look ten years younger!"

Fury went next and acted like it was no big deal. However, Peter could tell he was quite happy.

Then came Nat who while didn't gain an excessive amount of massive muscles, she certainly did gain some and was very lean. She was the idealized version of herself and a had a build that was closer to the Spider-Heroes.

After Clint got done, he was checking himself out with the mirror Tony made. Peter walked over to Captain America and said, "Steve. You're up."

"But I already went through this,"

"Not mine. The professor was a genius, but I'm better. My solution has several other serum effects. I used the Eternity Formula and ingredients that you've never even heard of before. So, trust me when I say, you can get even stronger."

Steve grinned and went in the pod.

When he finished, he still had perfectly toned muscles but was several times stronger than he used to be.

"He doesn't look any different," Tony said as he walked around him.

"Oh, but I feel different. It almost feels like when I first got the S.S Serum."

"MJ, you ready?"

"Yep!" Mary Jane removed her Symbiote and got inside the pod while Peter forced the men to turn around.

"I will poke your eyes out," Peter threatened before staring at Tony, "And I will tell Pepper."

"Alright, let's not do anything crazy," Tony waved his hand as he flipped around.

MJ got the same energy treatment and suddenly twitched and spasmed in the solution. However, she wasn't in any danger, instead it was a good thing as she covered body in webs and formed a cocoon.

"This again?" Tony called out.

"It's how our powers evolve," Peter grinned as he used his Reality Topaz to alter her bones with an additional element. 

When he finished, she broke through her webbing while feeling at the top of the world. Her muscles were more defined, she was a few inches taller, and Peter could have sworn that her hips and breasts were a bit bigger.

"Wow…you look beautiful, babe." Peter smirked as she put her Symbiote back on. 

"I feel like a million bucks!" MJ laughed as she clenched her fists.

She hugged Peter till the point he felt like his bones were breaking, "Careful, Tigress. You're a lot stronger now." 

MJ let go before she laughed and said, "Sorry. I guess we have to get used to this again."

"Nothing we haven't done before," Peter said as he cracked his back, "Now, my turn. Tony!"

Peter quickly cleaned the tank and got it ready to use while Stark was looking at himself in the mirror.

"TONY!"

"Yeah?" Tony looked away with a grin on his face.

"Quit oogling yourself and start it up."

"On it," Tony giggled like a girl in love while his hand ran across the computer.

Peter started the process and suddenly found himself growing stronger by the second. When he finished absorbing the Serum, his body started to undergo another metamorphosis. His connection to the web of life and destiny grew stronger and stronger until he ended up making another cocoon of webbing.

However, just like MJ, instead of taking hours for his evolution to complete, the silk absorbed all of the serum's properties and bled into every cell in his body.

When he broke out of the cocoon, his body felt dozens of times stronger. He couldn't help but jump out with an excited expression.

He was a roughly three inches taller, his muscle mass had increased somewhat, and he thought that his looks might have improved a little, not that he wasn't a handsome beast to begin with, but he did notice some change.

Webster rejoined with him and informed him of the changes in his body. Other than all of his physical abilities becoming much stronger than before, his bones had gained an almost metal like sheen to them.

He noticed that his every last bone his body was had two layers to it. The surface was covered in Orichalcum, a magical metal from Atlantis that made his body the perfect wand to focus and enhance his magic and the inside of the encasement had become better versions of what he had before. His internal bones were practically immune to magic, nearly unbreakable, and the webs he produced might as well be Anti-Magic weapons. 

The best part about it was that it actually wasn't a metal but all organic material with the properties of Orichalcum, Vibranium, Adamantium, and Adamantine.

"This is so cool," MJ commented with an excited expression.

"Agreed, oh, and I forgot to mention, your lifespans have been drastically increased. I need to run some tests, but you all might live to your thousands."

Everyone gave him a surprised look as he stretched out and tried to become more accustomed to his new level of strength.

While they jabbered about the prospect of living for hundreds or thousands of years, he ported them back to the conference room and said, "Now, let's get working on that list."

They all rambled with suggestions when Peter gave over a paper and said, "Here's my list, I've got to give my family the same treatment."

After they disappeared through portals, the two went back to offer the same power up for their families.

Considering they were on the run from Hydra, they didn't take chances, and all went through with it. Now that his family members were super-powered and a had a copy of his Spider-Powers via magic suit, Peter finally felt like he could breathe a little.

As they sat on the couch while their families marveled at their new strength and returned youth, MJ laid her head on his shoulder and said, "Didn't think my life would turn out like this when I got bit."

"Any regrets?"

"None," MJ looked at her family chatting it up with the Parkers.

"We've got patrol,"

"Didn't you say we were on vacation?" MJ pouted.

"Alright, you win. I'll call Luke and get the defenders to cover Queens again."

The family then joined together for a big meal and celebration. They spent the rest of the day together and went off to bed early since they all had work the next morning.

When they woke up, they had breakfast and met with the rest of the team at Avengers tower.

"So, how the list coming?"

"I have some issues with your candidates. Mainly Magneto," Fury lifted a brow.

"I'm trying to rehabilitate the guy. Are you seriously telling me that you don't want the Babayaga that sent shivers down the spines of the Nazi Regime to help with the Hydra issue?"

Fury paused before crossing his arms, "You really think he can come around?"

"Oh, I think so. I just have to keep on visiting," Peter chuckled, "I can see it…Erik wants to be a force for good. He just got a little twisted from constantly losing everything."

"And Frank Castle?"

"Guy's good at what he does. I know you need some good agents, and he's quite the patriot when he's not brandishing his own form of street-level justice," MJ said in her boyfriend's defense.

"We'll Pepper is definitely getting the upgrade. I'm not going to deal with her nagging about aging while I remain the beautiful beast I am," Tony laughed.

"We already figured that. What about Rhodey?" MJ smirked.

"Uh…well, I was so excited to show off…I kind of spent all my time with Pepper…er testing the limits of my new physique."

"Smooth," Peter laughed before Fury brought up another on his list.

"You want Wolverine and Charles Xaiver on the team?"

"That I do, Charles can help keep Erik in line," Peter pulled up an image of Logan.

"As for the other guy, you all know him as Wolverine or Logan, but what if I told you his real name is James H…"

"Howlett?" Steve stood up with a surprised expression.

"That he is," Peter replied before showing old WW2 pictures with him standing next to Captain America.

"Well I be damned…" Fury muttered.

"How is he still?" Peggy spoke up.

"He's a mutant with an incredible regeneration factor. Honestly, he might just be immortal."

"Neat," Tony added.

"I knew I saw him get shot in the head!" Steve shouted like he won the lottery.

"Let me guess, just a scratch…"

"BUB!" Steve and Peter mimicked his Canadian accent before they started laughing.

Peter looked over Fury's list and said, "So, most of them are highly valued Shield Agents you can actually trust."

"That they are, any problems?" Fury lifted a brow.

"Nope…what about you Cap?"

"Isaiah Bradley and Sam Wilson are my candidates," Steve answered.

"Got it, the second Captain America and Falcon. Nice choices," Peter agreed.

"Nat, any requests?"

"I have a few agents I've been training," Natasha replied.

"Okay…" Peter said as he looked over their files, "Really? Kind of wild card, isn't she?"

"I think she'll make a great addition to the team," Natasha smiled.

"Your call, what about you Clint?"

"My family," Clint said without a second's hesitation.

"Got it, and approved."

"Thanks Spidey," 

"Okay, everyone look under your seats,"

Everyone did but found nothing before Peter started laughing, "What'd you think this was, Opharh?"

When they looked back up with expressions of annoyance, they saw a key sitting in front of them.

"A key? Now, I know we're good friends, but isn't moving in together a bit fast," Tony joked.

"Ah, that's no normal key," Peter said as he wagged his finger.

"Try it on the door,"

Everyone looked at him like he was crazy when Clint said, "What door?"

"Any door," Peter smirked.

Tony was the first one to rush over and use it, and when he opened the door, his jaw dropped.

"Pete…I know this is my second time here, but where is this? I couldn't find anything with Jarvis' scans," Tony asked with a dropped jaw.

"About 2,000 miles below the Venusian surface," 

"Hold up, Venus? You...your lab is on Venus?" Tony's eyes sparkled.

"What I just gave you all is a key to my S.S Lab. I'd love to be there for all the new Soldiers joining the Avengers, but you know how it is, busy spider, busy life."

"Busy life, busy wife," MJ followed up with a chuckle.

"Why, MJ, was that a proposal?" Peter smirked as she turned red.

"What? No! It was a joke,"

"So now you're playing with my pure heart?"

"You!!! I hate you right now, you know that, right?!" MJ ported out while Peter chuckled.

"She still so cute when I tease her,"

"One of these days she's gonna knock you out!" Clint laughed.

"Shut up, Legolas," Peter crossed his arms.

"So, anyone else have any candidates?"

"It takes time to find people to augment. Most of the people on our list have earned it some way or another. If any more Shield Agents want the Captain America Treatment, they have to prove themselves worthy," Fury said with an adamant expression.

"Or heroes for that matter. We'll have our hands busy training them," Natasha sighed.

"Oh, like you aren't looking forward to the time off," Clint rolled his eyes.

"I almost forgot, I have one last nominee," Fury looked at his phone, "And he should be arriving, right…"

The doors opened to reveal Agent Coulson walking in.

Before the room could finish gasping, Peter webbed him over and hugged the guy while shouting, "AGENT COULSON!" 

He put him down and checked his body, "You're not a clone, are you? I mean, you're the genuine article, right?"

"That I am, Spider-Man," Coulson smiled.

"How?" Other's in the room mumbled.

"Spider-Man's first aid saved his life, but he was comatose up until a few months ago," Fury explained.

Everyone in the room rushed to his side and gave the guy a hug.

"Will someone turn this man into a Super Soldier?!" Peter shouted.

"I'll do the honors. Loose the pants and shirt," Tony grinned.

"What, can you explain?" Coulson looked lost.

"Nope! Let's get this man naked!" Peter laughed as he picked up the Shield Agent and ran into his lab.
