After the first meeting of the Avengers Council, Professor Xavier didn't speak to Peter for a week. Peter tried to contact him but later decided to give the man some space to think for a while. The initial posting of this chapter occurred via N0v3l.B11n.

That didn't last long as Peter noticed that this plan was going nowhere and decided to be persistent. He bothered the hell out of Charles, who cracked after a couple of weeks and returned to the Avengers tower for a much more calm and orderly meeting than the last.

During the time that he was annoying Professor X into coming back to the council, Peter had about 10 more encounters with Logan, who attacked him instantly for the first 5 of them.

After beating Logan into unconsciousness 5 more times, Peter decided to deploy a new strategy for dealing with him.

-Flashback-

After beating Logan for the sixth time that week, instead of knocking him out, as usual, Peter tied him up in web and forced Wolverine to hang out with him.

Once Wolverine was tied up, Peter dragged him to the living room and dropped Logan on the couch.

"What do you want to watch?" Peter asks as sits next to him and kicks his feet up, grabbing the remote to flip through the channels.

"Let me go!" Logan shouts as he shakes side to side, trying to break free.

"I'll just pick..." Peter mutters as he ignores the angry man beside him and puts on Jerry Springer, which seemed to only anger the man further.

"I knew he was the father..." Half an hour in, Peter started making small talk with Logan.

They watched TV for almost two hours before Peter had to get home, leaving an angry Wolverine tied down on the couch with Wheel of Fortune on the flat screen.

Peter repeated this treatment for his next few visits to Professor Xavier's mansion. It got to a point where Logan started avoiding him because watching TV with Peter was worse than losing a fight. At least he enjoyed fighting, losing or not.

Of course, Peter wouldn't allow him to get away. After he was done bothering Charles about rejoining the council, Peter would hunt down Logan and force him to hang out and watch TV.

This got to a point where a sort of friendship formed between the two.

"He has to be the father." Logan says as he and Peter watch another episode of Jerry Springer.

"No, look at the baby's eyes. Neither of the parents has blue eyes. It's not his." Peter points out with a shake of his head.

"Look at the nose, you idiot! They're exactly the same." Logan yells and gestures to the TV with his free hand.

By this point, Peter didn't need to tie Wolverine up in order to watch TV anymore. He would still have to find him, but after that, Logan would 'reluctantly' come to hang out.

"In the case of baby Stacy. Nick, you are... NOT the father!" The host of the show announced, causing Peter to smirk victoriously in Logan's direction.

"You can't be serious..." Tony mutters in dread.

"I'm afraid that training is mandatory for all Avengers that want to do field work." Peter says, getting a nod from every council member in the room.

"Don't worry." A handsome white man with brown hair and eyes says with a disarming smile. "I'll go easy on you... at first."

He stands next to Natasha with black combat clothes and a bow and arrow draped over his shoulder.

[Insert picture of MCU Hawkeye here]

Clinton Barton is an extremely skilled marksman and a special agent of Shield. He's known for his use of the bow and arrow as his primary weapon and an extremely keen eyesight and accuracy that earned him the codename Hawkeye,

"Why am I the only one getting forced to do this? What about you guys!" Tony points the finger at his fellow council members.

"Well, I'm already being trained by Natasha here." Peter says as he gestures toward his beautiful trainer. "As for the rest, Fury has more training than he needs and the other two are a bit old for combat training. Charles can't even walk after all."

Tony couldn't find a single word to argue against Peter's logic, so he just stood there brooding about his impending muscle ache.

"Don't bother using your Iron Man suit as an excuse either." Peter says, not giving Tony a single inch to form an argument. "Without it, you're nothing but a smart walking meat bag. You need to know how to defend yourself without the suit just in case."

"Yeah, don't worry. It won't be that bad." Clint says with an excited look on his face.

He gets to train the famous Tony Stark personally so Clint was looking forward to seeing the spoiled billionaire go through his hellish boot camp.

"Web-head, I don't like the look on his face..." Tony says as a frightening shiver runs down his spine.

"Eh, you'll be fine."

-Flashback End-

Tony hated every minute of his training in the beginning, as he never worked out to this degree before, so the soreness and combat injuries were truly excruciating.

After a couple of weeks, Tony started getting used to the new addition to his schedule and the soreness wasn't as bad as it was at the start.

He didn't love the training and he probably never would, but Tony could get through it without constantly whining about everything now.

Luckily for him, Tony has no superpower that needs training, so he only had to learn martial arts and a few other skills before his time with Hawkeye came to an end.

Although the other council members were excused from the physical training, they were not excused from the learning portion of that training.

Each member of the Avengers, new or old, is given a sort of rule book, outlining how they should handle most situations. They don't have to follow every rule perfectly, as each situation would branch off into infinite possibilities.

The book mainly mentions the need for preservation of life, protection of innocent civilians, teamwork, public image, and much more.

Peter wanted to be sure that everyone understood as some people needed these obvious things outlined for them.
