Shadow Of Darkness: Avengers x Male Reader

Chapter 75: Guardians Of The Galaxy

A/N: Sorry for the lack of updates recently. I've been nursing off a throat infection and to add to that I spent a lot of my writing time writing another little project that I'll probably release in the future. But I'm back now and I'm gonna try to keep the updates coming.

"We gotta turn this ship around." Strange said as he scrambled to his feet. Tony wandered around, examining the ship's flight deck with silent thoughts running through his mind.

"Do we though? I thought that guy was bringing us to Thanos. I feel like killing the guy sooner rather than later." (Y/N) sat down, crossing his legs as he found nothing else to do.

"I feel like protecting the Time Stone. So we're turning this thing back to Earth." Strange responded sternly.

"Fuck yourself." (Y/N) immediately said in a calm voice, closing his eyes and sitting there as if falling into a meditation. Strange stared for a few seconds before scoffing and turning to Tony.

"You heard him, Balloon Animal Bob. I tried to bench you and you refused. We're in this already and we aren't turning around." Tony paused his exploration of the ship to face Strange.

"Unlike everyone else in your life, I don't work for you." Strange glared.

"Ahem..." (Y/N) coughed into his hand. He was in Tony's life and wouldn't work for him in a million years. He was just more enlightened than Strange and wanted to kill the bad guy rather than protect the stone because of some damn oath.

"Due to the fact you don't, we are now in a flying doughnut billions of miles from Earth with no backup." Tony replied.

"What damn backup could we possibly have. If they're after the stones then they'll be after Vision which means they'll be after Steve and the gang. We wouldn't be getting any backup even if we had the time to call." (Y/N) peeped through his right eye at the man before closing it again.

"I..." Tony held his tongue as he thought about it for a moment. "Okay, the My Chemical Romance fanboy has a point, but still."

"Is he implying that I'm an emo? What the fuck does that even mean..." (Y/N) thought silently with more confusion than upset.

"Aren't I backup?" Peter asked.

"No. No, you're a stowaway. Now quiet. The adults are talking." Tony motioned between the other three while Peter just nodded and looked down awkwardly.

"I'm sorry, I'm confused as to the relationship here. W-Wh-What is he, your ward?" Strange motioned to the spider-boy with a confused expression.

"Parent and child." (Y/N) piped up, leading Tony to immediately get defensive.

"No. No, he is not." The billionaire said in a tired tone.

"I'm Peter, by the way." The boy offered his hand to Strange.

"Doctor Strange." The wizard replied.

"Oh, you're using our made-up names. Um... I'm Spider-Man, then." Peter said seriously. Strange just looked at him for a few seconds before turning away without another word.

"I don't think I've ever introduced myself to someone as Erebus before. At least not in many years." (Y/N) scratched his neck.

"Really?" Peter raised an eyebrow. "I do it a lot."

"Yeah, you wear a mask. You have to be a different persona compared to Peter Parker. It's why I think masks are stupid. Plus you'll put people close to you in danger if you hide your identity like that." (Y/N) reopened his eyes so he could look at the boy. The two locked eyes as Peter got a little closer.
