🕑 Added 2023-04-12 11:06:07 +0000 UTCAfter explaining the ground rules to Lily and telling her how he wanted things to go with the Hand, Peter gave her Scythes number and she excitedly ran off to her bedroom.
Ninjas and Dragons awaited her.
...
When Peter walked out into the hall, May, Grace, and MJ were laying in wait for him.
While MJ didn’t seem bothered, the same could not be said for her the two Granny’s.
May and Grace frowned in his direction, very clearly making their feelings on the situation known.
“Did you have fun eavesdropping?” Peter smirked as he leaned on the door frame.
Their glares only seemed to intensify, though May was a lot less angry than Grace.
“I don’t agree with this, but Lily made her choice so we won’t complain.” May sighed as Grace remained silent. “I just hope she’s ready...”
“You know, I never said you guys couldn’t watch over her?” Peter says as their eyes widen in realization. “After all, Lily isn’t allowed out of the house for this, so you guys can help her all you want. At least in the beginning. This isn’t as bad as you think it is.”
“...” Silence filled the hall as MJ smirked alongside Peter.
“Right...” Grace muttered as she turned around and made her way to Lily’s room.
“We’ll just check to see how she’s doing.” May smiled as she followed behind her fellow grandma, leaving Peter and MJ alone in the hall.
“Hello, beautiful.” Peter wrapped his arms around her waist.
“Hello, handsome.” MJ mimicked him as she peered up into his eyes.
“Since everyone else is so busy, why don’t we spend some alone time together? And I can tell you all about the new vacation spot that I found for us...” Peter whispers.
“I’m all ears-” MJ tried to answer but Peter sweep’d her off her feet.
“Sorry, but I’m a bit impatient today...” He says as he carries her into the room and closes the door with his foot.

In Lily’s bedroom.
“...I just sent you the blueprints of the area where the Dragon Bones are supposedly located, did you get them?” Lily lay snugly on her bed as she kicked her legs in the air.
“Yes, Princess.” Scythes voice could be heard from the phone, which sat on the bed in front of her.
It was extremely easy for Lily to hack into the city’s public records and download the blueprints.
And as Lily spoke, the blueprints appeared on the screen, though she didn’t even touch the thing.
Glancing at them for a second, Lily swiftly made some changes. Illustrations alongside all sorts of plans and instructions appeared.
Yet she still hasn’t touched her phone a single time.
“Good, I just edited the blueprints, do you see it?” Lily asked again.
“Yes, but something like this would take a lot of manpower and equipment. We won’t be able to hide it for long...” Scythe raises his concerns.
“That’s okay.” Lily said as her phone changed again.
This time, it flashed between all sorts of government websites and databases before finally returning to normal.
“You should have some emails from the New York Department of Construction, Engineering, and Urban Planning. There should also be one from the City Clerks Officer as well.” Lily says as Scythe goes silent for a moment.
“...Umm, how do you know my email?” He asked in fear.
As far as he knew, even the Black Sky himself didn’t know his email.
“Don’t ask silly questions. Do you have them?” Lily asks again.
“Yes...” Scythe answers as he reads through the emails. “How did you-”
“That’s not important.” Lily cuts him off.
“You have the digital permit to begin construction and the physical one will arrive by courier in a few days. The address is the same one that I marked on the blueprints. It’s an abandoned building. I just took 13.7 million dollars from one of the Hand’s bank accounts and purchased the property, as well as the neighboring properties. Did you receive everything? It should be in your email.”
“Y-You... How?” Scythe was speechless at this point.
At first, he was immensely impressed by the Black Sky’s daughter.
She was able to grasp the situation and build out a plan through the blueprints, which she seemed to acquire herself.
But then things got crazy...
Forget about knowing his email, just the fact that she could hack into the government so easily and even take money from the Hands bank account as if she were simply picking flowers was mind-boggling.
Both Impressive and scary...
“You really like to ask stupid questions, don’t you?” Lily huffs into the phone.
“M-My apologies, Princess!” Scythe quickly apologized.
He soon realized that the apple didn’t fall far from the tree.
If there was one man in the world that inspired fear in him, then it was the Black Sky.
Yet another contender has appeared.
“Hehe...” Lily giggled as she enjoyed being treated like royalty.
But as soon as Scythe heard that laugh, he broke out into a cold sweat.
‘Scary... They're both monsters...’ He thought.
“Okay, that’s it for today.” Lily says as she picks up her phone and rolls onto her back. “I want construction to start by tomorrow. Only members of the Hand can be used for this.”
“Yes, Princess.” Scythe replies dutifully.
“Oh, and I also want everyone working on this to strap their phones to their chest. That includes you.” Lily adds.
“Why?” Scythe asks in confusion.
“So I can watch, silly.” Lily says as she hangs up the phone.
*knock knock*
“Lily, can we come in?”
—————————————
Hand Base, New York.
“...” Scythe stared at his phone in silent fear. ‘Can she see me right now?’
It’s safe to say that although Lily didn’t mean to do so, she made one hell of an impression on the leader of the Hand.
When dealing with cold-blooded assassins, it’s always best to make them fear you to a certain extent.
Peter did it and now his daughter followed in his footsteps.
Though she didn’t even know it...
—————————————
After spending the day with MJ, leaving her passed out on his bed, Peter whipped out the Sun and Moon Scripture and got to work.
The notes left behind by Lin Feng said that he used the technique once a night for a single hour before bed.
And so Peter cracked the book open and followed its instructions.
Unlike your average lazy meditation, where Peter would be sitting in a certain position whilst controlling his breathing in one way or another, this one was all about body movement.
Meditation, controlled breathing, and erratic yet gentle movements were the key parts of the Sun and Moon Scripture.
After reading everything, Peter was ready to begin.
Though once he finally got started, it didn’t take long to realize that his room wasn’t big enough for this...
Instead, he would have to use the basement.
The backyard was an option as well, but Peter didn’t want to risk his neighbors seeing and labeling him as a crazy person.
Descending into the basement, Peter didn't waste any more time.
And when he finally started practicing, Peter thanked whatever god was out there that he didn’t use the backyard.
[Insert the worst dance moves that you can find here]
Although Peter knew that the movements would be odd, to say the least, he didn’t think that it would be this bad...
‘I just have to power through and do it.’ Peter thought to himself. ‘It’s only a month. After that, I never have to do this again...’
—————————————
The next morning...
Peter woke up ready to get some work done. He made a promise a while ago and was ready to make good on it.
The Guardians of the Galaxy distracted him for long enough.
Donning his spider suit and portaling into his office in the Avengers Tower, Peter was instantly greeted by Jarvis as usual.
“Welcome back, sir.”
“It’s good to be back, Jarvis.” Peter says as he takes a seat at his desk. “I need you to do two things for me.”
“I’m happy to be of assistance.” Jarvis replies dutifully.
“Good.” Peter nods as he leans back. “First, I need you to call a Council Meeting. If anyone asks why, tell them it has to do with Emil Blonsky.”
“I’m contacting each Councilman now. Please continue.” Jarvis said readily.
“I want you to call Dr. Banner to my office. We’ll have to wait for everyone to get here, so I’ll have a talk with him in the meantime.” Peter orders.
“One moment...” Jarvis says as he goes quiet for a minute. “...Dr. Banner is on his way. Will that be all, sir?”
“Yes, thank you for your hard work as always.” Peter says.
“It’s a pleasure, sir.” Jarvis responded in a happy tone.
‘Did Tony upgrade him recently?’ Peter thought as he never heard Jarvis change his tone like that before. ‘Is he trying to compete with Lily?’
*knock knock*
“Come in!” Peter calls out as Banner came walking in with dark rings around his eyes. “What the hell happened? You look like Rocket.”
“Who’s Rocket?” Banner asks as he tiredly dropped into a seat across from Peter.
“That doesn’t matter. Why haven’t you been sleeping?” Peter asks as the signs of sleep deprivation were clear as day. “You look exhausted.”
“I’ve been in the lab for a few days.” Banner answers with a yawn.
“And are you any closer to getting rid of your big green friend?” Peter asks as a frown forms on the doctor's face.
“...no.” Banner admitted.
“Have you tried meditation?” Peter asks as Banner rolls his eyes. “I’ll take that as a no.”
Even now he refused to take the hints that Peter gives him...
“No offense, but I highly doubt something like this can be fixed by meditation. What’s next? Should I buy shungite or wrap tinfoil around my head?”
Peter sighed in exasperation as he heard this.
“Fine, how about this? I’ll give you two options.” Peter held up two fingers. “One, you can try to meditate as I’ve been telling you, or two, I can extract the Hulk from you myself.”
“Y-You can do that?” Banner stuttered in shock.
“Not now, but I can whip something up.” Peter shrugged.
Either Kamar-Taj would have something or he would make his own spell.
“Isn’t it dangerous to let it out?” Banner asked in fear.
“The Avengers can easily subdue the Hulk.” Peter answered with yet another shrug. “And even if they couldn’t, I can handle him alone.”
“I-I...” Banner turned quiet as this was an important choice to make. “...I’ll do it.”
“The meditation or the extraction?” Peter asks for clarification.
“Extraction.”
