As the portal closed behind Peter, he headed home while thinking of his new plans for the Hand.

The Hand was too troublesome to leave to their own devices, so Peter would take control and find a way to integrate them into the Avengers at some point down the line.

They would become the Hand of the Avengers, and could probably handle the more low-level crimes all around the world.

The future Avengers teams would handle the more super-powered situations, while the Hand could stop normal crimes like robberies, muggings, murders, etc.

Peter could also recruit the weaker heroes out there, who have little to no super powers, and place them in the Hand. Daredevil, Elektra, Danny Rand, Punisher, Black Widow, and Hawkeye would make good members of the new Hand.

Though Peter would have to finish the reforms in the Hand before any of that could happen.

'That's easier said than done...' Peter thought.

He knew that it wouldn't be easy to reform the Hand. They've been allowed to slaughter an uncountable amount of people for thousands of years, so stopping that kind of mentality that's been ingrained for so long will take some time.

In fact, Peter expected at least one of the five people that he put in charge to betray him in some way. Either by planning his death or not following the new rules that Peter planned to set in place.

His money is on Malik, as he seemed to be the most bloodthirsty of the bunch. Nobu is a secondary possibility, as revenge is a good motivator, but he'll have to see what happens.

Until then, Peter trusts Scythe to inform him of whatever happens. At least for now.

When Peter returned home, he got onto his computer and started structuring how he wants the Hand to work from now on. Ranks, rules, guidelines, and the plans Peter has for the future.

He couldn't finish everything that night, as he didn't know enough about how the Hand was currently structured or their assets.

'I need to speak with Scythe soon about this...' Peter thought as he planned to throw all of his ideas at Scythe and have him deal with everything.

Scythe can delegate everything to his new subordinates, so he shouldn't have that hard of a time. Though Peter would have to look in on them often enough to make sure they are actually doing as he says.

Since Peter has a meeting tomorrow with Magneto, he needed to get some sleep before the sun came up.

Before bed, Peter sent a text to the President, calling out for tomorrow's UN meeting. He didn't need to be there anymore, thankfully.

He only had to wait until the end of the week and the Avengers would be approved.

Peter's life has been nothing but meetings lately, but he had a bad feeling that this would continue. Especially since the Avengers would become a real thing soon enough.

'I'm definitely offloading some of this work onto Tony. He doesn't even run his own company, so he has all the time in the world to help out with Avengers business.' As Peter thought this, Tony Stark felt a chill down his spine from all the way across the country.

Fury has his hands filled with Shield and the cancer that is Hydra, so Peter wouldn't give the man many responsibilities. As for Magneto and Professor X, they aren't exactly trusted just yet, so they wouldn't have many responsibilities in the beginning.

Curling up in bed, Peter fell asleep swiftly, tired from the long and action-packed day that he had just gone through.

———————————————

The next morning, Peter slept in until noon.

After going through his normal morning rituals, Peter wrapped up the many presents he bought for his loved ones and stashed them away so May wouldn't find them. She's the type of person to unwrap them and peek inside just to re-wrap them again so he wouldn't find out.

After finishing that up, Peter took the subway to Midtown High and met with MJ and Ned just as the school day came to an end. He planned to start attending school again after the winter break, as everything was finished in Japan already.

Peter was actually starting to miss school, which was an odd feeling. Though what he was really missing was the time in school spent with MJ and Ned.

Peter explained everything that happened yesterday to them, and Ned was practically bouncing off the walls when he learned about the Hand.

"Dude, you're the leader of an ancient ninja clan!" Ned was beyond excited. "Can they teach me ninjitsu?"

Don't even get started on his reaction to Peter fighting and sealing away a demon.

MJ, on the other hand, was curious about everything. She always had questions and wanted to know more about Peters life as a superhero. Peter could only answer a few questions about the Hand, as he didn't know that much about them yet.

She looked worried when Peter mentioned that he fought a demon, but that soon disappeared when she found out that he won and was unharmed.

Peter spent an hour and a half hanging out with MJ and Ned, but sadly, he had a meeting with Magneto to get to.

As a golden portal opens outside of a waterfront warehouse, Peter steps out, disguised in his spider suit.

As the portal closes, Peter enters the warehouse and finds it to be filled with household objects. Couches, TV, rugs, a full kitchen, and much more.

Before Peter could say or do anything, a bearded and animalistic man dressed in all black come running from the kitchen. He bared his fangs as claws appeared at the tips of each finger.

[Insert picture of Victor Creed here]

"Grrrrr..." Victor growled as he dashed forward, swinging a clawed hand at Peter's throat.

"You look familiar." Peter comments as he sidesteps, tilting his body out of the way and sends a spartan kick to Victor's chest.

"Argh!" Victor grunts in pain as he's sent flying across the warehouse and smashed into the refrigerator.

"Are you related to another angry guy with claws? His are longer though..." Peter says as he watches Victor getting angrier and angrier. "You must be the little brother. Am I right?"

Peter knew exactly what he was doing. Victor and Logan were easily angered and he started enjoying pulling their strings.

Victor Creed, also known as Sabretooth, is an animalistic mutant who possesses superhuman strength, mobility, and cat-like claws and teeth. He is Wolverine's older half-brother.

Though Peter was unsure if Logan knew he had a brother. If this world is going by the X-men movies, which Peter only saw a few of, he remembered that Logan had some sort of memory problem.

"Grrrr... Ahhhh!" Victor was pissed off as he dislodged himself from the fridge and torpedoed towards Peter once again.

Before Victor could get anywhere near Peter, some metal dumbbells lifted off the ground and soared toward the animalistic man. Each weight wrapped around Victor's wrists and ankles before slamming him onto the concrete floor, pinning the raging animal to the ground.

"That's enough, Victor." Magneto makes himself known as he floats down and steps into the warehouse. "I apologize for him, he's very animalistic and territorial."

"It's fine, sorry about the fridge." Peter says as he motions toward the leaking and destroyed kitchen appliance.

"No problem, it will be replaced by the end of the day." Erik says as he lifts the fridge with his powers, crumples it into a ball, and tosses it out of the warehouse.

"I had steaks in there, you fucker!" Victor thrashed against the metal weights, failing to make them budge even a single centimeter.

"We should probably get going." Peter says as they were running late, ignoring Victor who was still struggling on the floor.

"Alright, lead the way." Erik says, ignoring Victor as well.

"Wait! Don't you dare leave me here!" Victor yells in fury as Peter opens a portal to Tony's house and steps in.

"Huh, are you sure that you aren't a mutant?" Erik asks as he observes the portal with a surprised and impressed look.

"Meta-human, and I don't know." Peter corrects with a shrug and motions for Erik to follow him through.

After Magneto stepped through the portal cautiously, Peter closed it while listening to Victor growl and scream at them in anger.

"What's all this yelling?" Tony comes walking into his empty living room just in time to see the portal close.

"Don't worry about it." Peter says as he motions between Tony and Magneto. "Tony, this is Erik Lehnsherr. Erik, this is Tony Stark."

After an awkward handshake, as Tony didn't trust Magneto yet, Tony brought them outside, where Fury was waiting at a table by the infinity pool.

"You're late!"
