You Have Chosen Death!

After Nick Fury finished speaking, everyone thought Peter Parker would be very excited to join his organization. After all, for teenagers like Peter, what they want most is to save the world and become a great hero.

Moreover, they also faced a common enemy, Hydra.

However, to his surprise, Peter looked at him with disdain.

Peter suddenly had a sense of déjà vu.

If it weren't for the fact that the guy in front of him was incredibly dark, he would have thought he had traveled through time and returned to a few hours earlier.

No, buddy, you copied all the mobilization lines?!

Did you pay the copyright fees?

Nick Fury was unaware that he had become a body double and was somewhat puzzled by Peter's sudden change in attitude.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing."

Peter certainly wouldn't tell him, "I've joined a secret organization, and its operational guidelines and slogans are exactly the same as yours," and then reveal all his information.

Please, he's not like Holland, that spoiler maniac.

However, Ben didn't actually intend to completely hide the existence of the Galactic Plumbers; after all, how could they compete with the Avengers for members if they didn't make their name known?

However, at this point, S.H.I.E.L.D..'s understanding of the Galactic Plumbers is based solely on the premise that they are very likely an alien organization.

Nick Fury did ask the Skrull in the department, but they had never heard of the Galactic Plumbers and could only guess that it was a recently emerged organization.

Seeing Peter shake his head, Nick continued, explaining the Avengers' plan in detail.

But Peter shook his head. "I can help if you want to fight Hydra, but I can't join the Avengers."

Nick Fury was caught off guard by such a decisive rejection.

Seeing his failure again, Black Widow immediately gave him a skeptical look, as if to say: That's it?

Nick was clearly a bit flustered; even his tone changed almost imperceptibly. He asked with a hint of urgency, "Can you tell me why?"

"Your Avengers..." Peter stretched out his finger and twirled it in the air, as if categorizing something, drawing a circle.

"If I'm not mistaken, it should be subject to the constraints of official institutions, right?"

"We have autonomy."

Nick said.

However, even the naive Peter knew very well that many things change drastically once power intervenes.

Of course, the Avengers' unique nature may give them more autonomy than other organizations, but they can never act entirely for the sake of justice.

In the past, Peter might have agreed.

But now that he has already joined the Galactic Plumbers, there is no need for him to join such an organization again.

Peter continued, "I imagine that your Avengers, as an official organization, must be facing a lot of trouble..."

"Certainly."

Nick nodded.

The Avengers were founded to respond to major disasters and accidents, and to turn the tide in desperate situations.

He thought Peter would be pleased to hear this, because young lads always crave a major crisis that allows them to prove themselves.

But Peter shook his head and said:

"Then you shouldn't have let me join. I'm not that great. I'm just a kid from Queens. I don't have any world-destroying mechs or indestructible shields. I'm just a good neighbor of the people of New York, doing a little bit of insignificant work while you guys are saving the world."

Peter certainly wanted to be the most dazzling one, but he also knew that most people were willing to save the world, but very few were willing to do something insignificant.

Just like Iron Man Tony Stark.

He might fight to the death with terrorists for world peace, or even wage war against aliens.

But he wouldn't deploy his expensive armor just to help an elderly person with mobility issues cross the street a few blocks away, he wouldn't arrest petty thieves who steal wallets, and he wouldn't care which child was cornered in an alley by other children that day...

Only he would do these things because he's Spider-Man, not Super Hero, just a good neighbor to the people of New York.

"Alright, I think as long as we're all fighting for justice, it doesn't matter which organization we're in." Peter changed the subject and said, "I think we should talk about dealing with Hydra instead. What are your plans?"

When Hydra was mentioned, even Steve turned to look at Nick Fury, wondering what kind of plan this guy could come up with.

But in reality, only Nick Fury himself knows the truth.

He has no plan whatsoever!

He couldn't even find a trace of Hydra; these documents were just a pretext to lure Peter Parker into joining the Avengers.

But he couldn't say that.

To simply say "I don't know" would be to imply that S.H.I.E.L.D..'s intelligence system is incompetent, wouldn't it?

Although he was panicking inside, Nick didn't show it on his face.

"The plan is to remain inactive to avoid alerting the enemy."

What he said actually makes sense.

Given Hydra's nature, if they realize they've been discovered, they'll naturally disappear again, making it even harder to find them then.

The problem is, this statement sounds utterly ridiculous when applied to S.H.I.E.L.D..

At least 60 percent of the members of the massive S.H.I.E.L.D.. are Hydra, and many of the rest are spies from other agencies.

It was a complete snake den.

Even if Nick Fury wanted to find Hydra, he would have no chance of doing so. Even if one or two strongholds were occasionally discovered, they would only be decoys that deliberately went out of control.

"Then let me know when you're ready to take action."

Peter was already preparing to kick them out.

He finally understood that this Nick Fury was clearly trying to get something for nothing, bringing out a document and wanting Peter to work for him for free.

Admittedly, Peter was very grateful to Nick Fury for telling him about his parents, so he didn't harbor much ill will towards Nick Fury. The only reason he planned to let them leave was because it was almost time for Uncle Ben and Aunt May to return.

"I'll talk to Benny when he gets back. If we find any information related to Hydra, we can share it with you," Peter said.

Nick Fury, who knew nothing about S.H.I.E.L.D.., had no idea what he might face next.

He thought that Ben's AI system was no worse than Tony Stark's, and in fact, the other party's nickname was "Hacker." If he was willing to help, the other party might actually be able to find clues about Hydra.

Ben: The bag's been found, bro!

We'll wipe out the entire snake nest for you!

"In that case, I'd like to ask you to put in a good word for me with him," Nick said.

"Say nice things?"

Peter taken aback.

Nick immediately tactfully replied, "We had some slightly different opinions on a few things before, which led to a few... minor Contradiction between us."

Upon hearing this, Peter nodded:

"Don't worry, the Benny is a very nice person."

So Nick Fury and Natasha left first, while Steve stayed at Peter's house a little longer, expressing his high regard for Peter.

"You know what, Peter, I feel like I'm not as good as you."

Steve said with a smile.

"How could that be? You're Captain America!"

Captain America sighed and said, "Just like you said, everyone dreams of saving the world, but not many people are willing to focus on the little things around them."

His emerald green eyes reflected memories from nearly a century ago.

"At that time, I was single-mindedly focused on joining the army to serve my country, wanting to dedicate all my energy to the fight against the Nazi. But I neglected many other things, like my frail and sickly mother..."

He squinted. After a moment of silence, a somber atmosphere filled the air. Peter wanted to say something, but Steve interrupted him.

He looked at Peter seriously and said:

"Peter, there are many people in this world who want to achieve great things, but very few are willing to start step by step from the smallest things, and we all know that the latter are the truly great ones."

"Hang in there, Peter."

"Don't try to be a successful Super Hero, try to be a good person."

He patted Peter on the shoulder and left.

He had previously told Nick Fury that perhaps Peter was equally qualified to lift the Hammer of Thor, and now he was certain, without a doubt, that was the case.

Night.

After the family had finished dinner, Peter knocked on Ben's door and came in with the documents Nick Fury had given him that day.

He recounted the entire incident from beginning to end.

Upon hearing this, Ben said:

"Actually, you can choose to join as well."

"But I've already joined the Galactic Plumbers!"

Peter's eyes widened.

"So what? The Galactic Plumbers isn't forbidding you from joining a second organization, and you can conveniently extract all the information about the Avengers and pass it on to me," Ben said while looking at the documents.

Peter:???

"You're despicable."

"Thank you for the compliment."

After a while, Ben put down the documents in his hand, stroked his chin, and said thoughtfully, "I've actually done some research on your parents too..."

"Real?"

Peter was surprised.

"You never mentioned it to me."

"Because I couldn't find any information; they don't use the internet for important data." Ben waved the paper document in his hand, most of which was handwritten.

"I never expected it to be Hydra."

Hearing this, Peter nodded, and then he heard Ben say, "What surprised me even more was that S.H.I.E.L.D.. approached us and offered to join forces with us to fight Hydra."

He let out a cold laugh.

I'm hitting myself, right?

Then, Ben immediately made a decision.

"Peter, since Hydra was responsible for your parents' deaths, we will show no mercy!"

"You mean..."

"S.H.I.E.L.D.. has found its way to destruction!"
