Just to let you all know, this takes place after The Amazing Spider Man 2, but before CA:Winter Soldier. And just because it would make the family thing stronger between Peter and the Avengers, aunt May is dead and Pete lives with the Avengers.

Summary:

In the future, Peter Parker -AKA Spider Man, who is is also the little brother figure of the Avengers, is dead. Killed in the line of duty defending New York from an outside attack. On the third anniversary of his death, the team is given what they call a revelation of sorts from an unknown man who they can only assume is a deity of higher calling than even the likes of an Asgardian. The Avengers, determined to keep him alive, go back in time three years prior using the power of the unknown man to warn their younger selves about the danger that will shatter their family by razing their guiding light, their angel.

Everything had started out as just a normal day, so how did it all come to this? The Avengers had gone out to a bar to celebrate a recent successful mission minus their youngest member and brother, Peter. He was in his junior year of high school and as such, wasn't old enough to drink so he opted to hold down the homefront. This however led him to being susceptible to a surprise ambush by a certain criminal organization known as H.Y.D.R.A . Peter, clad in his Spiderman uniform, fought valiantly to hold the group of intruders off while the tower's A.I system informed the rest of the team. Though he tried his best, it was in vain.

Steve Rodgers and Tony Stark -their super personas being Captain America and Iron Man, led the superhero bunch out of the elevator onto what was left of the main floor of the Avengers Tower. Natasha and Bruce started to pick up debris looking desperately for their youngest member, praying that he was alright. Clint joined in as Tony and Steve were checking J.A.R.V.I.S for any lasting footage of the attack when a flash of red caught his eye. He stood up quickly and ran to the wall where he saw the crimson material vanish around the corner. As he rounded the corner he called his brother's name.

"Pete?" he said. There was no answer. At Clint's call for Peter the rest of the team stopped and followed the archer. What they were met with almost made Natasha burst into tears. Their brother laid slumped against the wall of the hallway, beaten and bloodied. His mask was off and the team could tell that he had several broken bones from the external damage shown and the way he held himself. He was unconscious and Bruce, while having no real medical training, pushed Clint out of the way so he could at least assess the damage done whilst Tony called in a S.H.I.E.L.D medical team. He gently shook the young hero's shoulder in an attempt to wake him. Bruce smiled when he gained a grunt in response but it quickly faded when Peter coughed up blood.

'Shit' Bruce thought to himself. 'That means he has internal damage as well!'

"Tony! How's it coming with the med team?" Bruce screamed to the billionaire behind him without turning around, his eyes never leaving Peter's form.

"Not good. They won't make it in time. ETA is 30 minutes, Pete won't last that long!" Tony yelled back, his voice sounding more panicked than he meant it to be.

"Shit!" Steve swore as he banged his fist against the wall opposite Peter.

"Cap, if this wasn't a dire situation, I'd probably make fun of the fact that you just swore." Clint said, earning himself a glare that clearly meant 'shut up, this is serious' from Natasha.

Peter coughed more blood up again and his breathing became more shallow and hushed. He slowly lifted his heavy eyelids to see the worried faces of his family.

"Hey guys…." He managed to choke out which was no more than a whisper. He had that cheeky grin on his face that he used whenever he was trying to act tough. The Avengers saw right through it. Of course they would, they were family after all. Peter was not only their little brother, he was their center, their pillar of strength always acting the part even if he was feeling down. He did it for the others. "I screwed up...guys. I-I thought I could h-hold them off l-long enough." Peter started to shiver visibly.

'This is bad, he's losing too much blood and going into shock!' Bruce thought to himself as he ordered Thor to grab as many blankets as he could find to try and warm Peter as best they could.

"No, it's alright kid. You did great, you're gonna be fine." Tony said as he knelt down and ruffled Peter's hair. Tony wouldn't admit it but he was scared. He was scared that they would lose him. He first met Peter as Spiderman with the rest of the Avengers two years prior after Electro and the Green Goblin had attacked the city. They had found the vigilante in the ruins of the clock tower holding tight to the lifeless body of Gwen Stacy, the daughter of the late Captain Stacy of the police department. The kid was just rocking the girl's body back and forth whispering 'I'm sorry' s that she would never hear. After that, the team had worked with Spidey on multiple occasions to save the city and eventually learned his civilian identity. Steve took it upon himself to become the kid's legal guardian after his aunt passed away and Peter came to live in the tower with everyone.

"You're a ..h-horrible l-liar Tony…" Peter said causing the billionaire's eyes to glaze over slightly. By this time, Thor had already come back with several fleece blankets and they were laid over top of Peter to help warm the boy up.

"Hey, Hey Peter. Hey, it's ok" Natasha said softly as she held tight onto Peter's left hand. "The med team will be here soon and Bruce is doing what he can, okay?"

"I-I can't s-see anything….a-and it's c-c-cold…" At this revelation, the team became distraught. If Peter couldn't see anything it meant that he was already too far gone and that there was nothing they could do to help him further.

"It's ok son, you'll be warm soon." Steve tried to give the boy some peace of mind while Natasha continued to whisper sweet nothings into Peter's ear. Clint could only stare at Peter's broken figure, too stunned to say any words while Thor also tried to convey words of encouragement to his young Midgardian brother.

"I d-d-don't think I'm g-gonna be able to stay aw-wake much l-longer…." He smiled sheepishly, staring blankly ahead as all he saw was darkness. "I'm really t-tired."

"No Peter! You can't go to sleep, son! You need to stay awake!" Steve tried to persuade Peter to keep his eyes open but the dying teen gave in to the beckoning call and closed his eyes.

"..And I r-r-really l-like it here t-too…." Peter's last words to his family as a single tear slid down his bruised cheek.

For a moment Natasha forgot that she was a trained assassin skilled in hiding her emotions and let a cascade of tears fall as she mourned the death of her little brother. Clint knelt beside her and wrapped an arm around her. Tony stood, mouth agape and Bruce stared down at Peter's lifeless body. Thor stepped out onto the terrace no doubt in a fit of rage and Steve swore that H.Y.D.R.A would pay. Just then, the med team from S.H.I.E.L.D finally arrived with Fury leading the pack, only a moment too late as Peter was already gone.

Fow a while nobody moved. Clint had to eventually force Natasha to leave Peter's side so the coroner could take his body. Thor had already flown off somewhere and the rest of the Avengers sat in what was left of the living room in silence. The funeral was four days later and the sky was bright and sunny. Clint stood next to Natasha and Steve and looked up at the clear blue sky.

'It's ironic Pete, that a funeral could be held on a beautiful day like this. Then again, you were always a bright person Pete, so it makes sense that the sun would be shining on you even now.' the archer thought to himself.

Three Years Later

The team was riding the elevator up to the main floor after a particularly difficult mission of destroying more H.Y.D.R.A bases. It was the third anniversary of Peter's death and they decided to sit in the living room and exchanging funny stories about Peter and how if he would have been there the mission may have gone smoother what with their favorite web-head making his sarcastic quips to distract the enemy and so on.

"And then," Bruce started, "there was this one time that Peter-" he was cut off when Clint put a hand up to silence him and shot his head to a shadowy part of the room.

"Who are you and how did you get in here?" he questioned demandingly.

The team looked to the same spot with hard glares as they heard a subtle clap resound from the shadows.

"Bravo Mr. Barton, I would expect no less from a man with your skill and capabilities."

"You didn't answer my questions, "Clint continued, "who are you and how did yo get in here?"

Steve took notice of the man who came out from the shadows. His hair was a silvery color that fell just above his shoulders. He was dressed in what looked like robes of different shades of black and he had a mask covering half of his face that. The mask was a skull. The man came forward and as he came closer, a chill ran through the air. He stopped in front of a vacant chair and took a seat.

"Who I am is of no importance, what I have to offer you however, is." the man said.

"What is it that you have to offer the like of us small man?" Thor boomed.

The man crossed his legs and laced his fingers together in front of his torso. A wry smile formed on his face. He sat forward a little and Steve, Tony, Natasha, Clint, Bruce, and Thor shifted in their seats to listen to what the stranger had to offer.

"I have a proposition for you, Avengers. How far would you be willing to go to save the one you all love?"

Bruce's face scrunched in confusion. The man had said one as in it was singular, not plural, so it was safe to assume that this person he was talking about was someone that everyone knew.

"What do you mean?" Natasha asked curtly.

"I mean, what would you do if I told you all that there was a way to save Peter Parker?"

DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUUN! Whew alrighty, I think this turned out pretty good but I always want to hear what you guys think! This could just be a one-shot or I could turn it into a series but I don't know. If any of you were wondering, the mysterious man is Death himself!
