The Book of life

Prologue

I do not own Marvel or the avengers (although I'd have so much fun with them if I did!)

It was a dark November night in New York city. The ordinary civilians of this bustling city were rushing home after a long day and the less than savoury characters were exiting their hidey-holes in anticipation of a long night. These criminals were of course promptly webbed to the nearest lamp post by your friendly neighbourhood Spiderman, but it's the thought that counts.

Landing softly on the concrete roof of an old diner Peter Parker, the spandex clad teen hero himself, took a quick breather. 'You'd think the cold would slow them down' he thought absentmindedly rubbing what was sure to be a bruised rib in the morning. He sat down on the edge of the building his long legs dangling over the precipice as his tired green eyes roved the landscape of the city he was meant to protect.

Inevitably his eyes were drawn to the feat of construction that was Stark tower. Or as it was more fondly known as, Avengers tower. The giant monolith was dark save the top floor that was still lit up. The Avengers were home. Peter toyed with the idea of swinging by for a visit, he was so lonely. He looked up angrily at the stars. 'If I hadn't…. If she hadn't…. Maybe I could have helped maybe they would have finally noticed me, helped me'. He angrily blinked back a blur of what were definitely not tears and stood up briskly.

There was no point in dwelling on the past, that life was over now. 'besides' he thought to himself hearing the unmistakable smash of glass two blocks east 'someone's got to take out the trash'. He stepped out into the empty air, revelling once again in the freedom the night gave him.

Meanwhile in Avengers tower as it was fondly named life was about to change irreparably

"Sir, this corpse is still showing signs of life"

"No shit, Sherlock"

"TONY"

AUTHORS NOTE

Hi guys this is pretty much my introduction of the world I want to create with these characters. I know

this chapter was very short but from now on I can pretty much guarantee a length of 2k to 5k words

per chapter. This is my first fanfiction writing experience (so please be gentle!) but seriously any

commentary would be welcomed I only aim to improve. The next instalment should be in by the 18th

as I have an exam week next week. The next instalment should have a list of warnings attatched and each chapter will have warnings as well.

Hopeyou enjoy!casually taking over the world.
