ONCE THEY had arrived at the airport, Richie was instructed to wait out of sight somewhere for Tony's cue. He was only a failsafe if Steve wasn't persuaded or even tried to attack Tony.

Richie had his phone recording, as he was talking to it before Tony called for him. "Okay there's Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow-"

"Underoos!"

That was the code word. Richie came in hot, swinging over to the group and webbing Steve's shield before ripping it out of his hands and webbing them together. He then cinematically landed on top of a part of the roof.

"Good job, kid

"Good job, kid." Tony praised.

"Thanks! No hard feelings, Captain. I-I'm Spider-Man, by the way." Richie waved around to everyone.

"Yeah, we don't really need to- start a conversation." Tony interrupted. "Good job."

"You've been busy." Steve commented.

"And we've been a complete idiot. Dragging in Clint, rescuing Wanda from a place she doesn't even want to leave. A safe place. I'm trying to keep-" Tony sighed. "I'm trying to keep you from tearing The Avengers apart."

"You did that when you signed."

"All right, we're done." Tony muttered, over the arguing. "You're going to turn Barnes in and you're going to come with us now because it's us. Or a squad of J-SOC guys with no compunction about being impolite."

Steve looked off to the side, seemingly weighing his options. There was a strange silence before Cap lifted his still webbed arms in the air and an arrow shot right between his fists, breaking him free. Richie could only assume it was the one and only Hawkeye.

Tony's helmet immediately activated as he turned from where the arrow came from.

Rich saw Steve mutter something to himself but he couldn't think about what Steve said, before something jumped from the shield and transform into a full sized man after kicking Richie in the face. The boy fell onto his back and the new fighter handed the shield to Steve.

"I believe this is yours, Captain America."

"That was not cool!" Richie stood up as Tony began to give members of Steve's team locations. "Mr. Stark, what should I do?"

"What we discussed. Keep your distance, web 'em up."

"Okay, copy that!" Richie shot two webs, following after Sam Wilson and Bucky Barnes. He was on top of a see-through tunnel, watching the two men run. Eventually, he swung through the window, smashing the glass and kicking Sam in the chest, knocking him to the ground.

Bucky went to throw a punch with his left arm, but Richie grabbed his fist to block. "You have a metal arm? Why don't I get one of those?" Richie gushed, before Sam tackled him into flight, taking him away from Bucky. "You're the right to remain silent!" The boy threw his hands in Sam's face, trying to distract him from flying. He then kicked off of the man but continue to follow him, dodging anything Redwing tried to shoot at him.
