quick shot hope you all enjoy reviews are appreciated

It's Halloween and everybody is finishing their costumes the guys all had an a joint theme, Luke & Sam were sharing a white horse costume, Danny's costume consisted of a pair a leather pants and white body paint with a stuffed crow or maybe a raven tied to his head.

Peter's costume tied them all together he was dressed in a black suit with an eye mask, white hat and twin six shooter co2 powered bb guns. He made his way into the den of the Parker house where the guys were waiting "Ha-ha Sam that half of the costume suits you perfectly…I've been calling you a horses ass for years and now you've literally become one" Peter laughed as did everyone else. But Ava she was curled up on the couch watching the movie the guys based their costumes on, the lone ranger, she wouldn't be joining the boys at Harry's party because she had a date. Although Sam just said: she wasn't coming because she didn't believe in the costumes that girls wore to the parties.

"You know what Sam you wonder why you never find a date on Halloween, It's because you're a chauvinistic pig!" Ava growled "and not that's it's any of your business but Dallas is coming by to pick me up because unlike any of you people actually find me attractive & interesting!"

Everybody began cowering away from Ava. She was extremely moody with all of them except for Peter she was like a light switch with him, this morning they were the best of friends and tonight she wanted to scratch his eyes out…he didn't even do anything wrong yet. "Got to go" the others chanted as they scurried out the front door, leaving Peter alone trapped with Ava

"You dicks open the door!" Peter screamed as he fought to pull it open but was no match for their combined strength,

"You are safe my friend, you are a spirit walker you can't die in battle" Danny said through the window.

"Danny that's not funny open the freaking door!" Peter screamed, as Ava's shadow dawned on him from behind, Peter turned to see a terrifying angry Ava he gulped in fear and tried to make a defense argument. "Look Ava I got nothing against you having a date in fact I'm happy for you" he squeaked as he flinched in anticipation of Ava's impending strike…but it never came.

Instead she gave him a friendly hug "I know you are Peter and thank you for being such a good friend. Enjoy the party" she said,

Peter was at a loss for words Ava was in a good mood with him again rather than tempt fate he quickly opened the door "I hope your date works out Ava….have a good night" he called back as he ducked out the door.

They arrived at Harry's party the music was blaring and the windows rattling, the team and Harry were gathered around the pool table while Peter and Harry played the others were all downing every drink they could get their hands on.

"Come on kemosabe shoot true, remember spirit walker you cannot miss" Danny laughed it seemed the role of Tanto was perfect for Danny both had philosophical ways of speaking or it was just random nonsense, Peter lined up his shot and combo 5 striped balls into the pockets. Harry's jaw dropped ordinarily Peter sucked at pool and tonight he was making Harry look like a punk,

"Is Peter a better pool player when he's hammered?" Harry asked with a stupid incoherent chuckle. The night carried on and the boys partied all through it every drink tasted like another, shot after shot and triple drinks t he guys became less in control of their actions. Harry had M.j perched on the counter and was basically gnawing on her face,

Peter & Danny were hammered to the point where they were dancing to the Kemosabe song by the sugar hill gang

"HIYOO Silver, is what I say!

Ho! Ho! Wowowowowowowowow!
Hit it gang!

Ho! Ho! Ho! Aowowowowowowowowowowowo!

[Chorus]
Tonto, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it...
Kemosabe, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it...
Custer, jump on it, jump on it, jump on it...
Apache, jump on it, jump on it, wowowowowowowowowo!
A-hunga-hunga-hunga-hunga"

The crowd sang along as Peter and Danny danced on the pool table they were trashed but didn't care, they just kept on dancing.

"Please tell me you're getting this" Luke laughed as Sam was recording the display of his friends making asses of themselves,

"Every second…100,000 hits guaranteed" Sam replied as Peter slipped on a billiard ball and fell to the ground with a floor shaking crash.

"Ouch Silver help me up" Peter groaned as Luke pulled him up,

"Maybe we should get home" Luke suggested "the guys are pretty much dead, plus you're hammered".

Peter suddenly went straight faced and stood up right "actually I'm not, my healing factor regenerates cell tissue at an accelerated rate plus alcohol is a type neural inhibiter Spiders have anti venom to counter act toxins and poisons like that….translation I can't get drunk" Peter said as Luke looked at him blankly.

"So then what was all that?" Luke whispered as Sam grabbed Danny,

"Call it blowing off frustration" Peter mumbled that was the truth he was only doing this to blow off steam after the streak of bad luck he needed a night to just have fun. After Norman going green again, being suspended from active duty with the Avengers and now Harry was dating M.j Peter was starting to feel isolated luckily he could always count on his friends and former team.

Sam and Danny stumbled into the elevator "you horse's ass" Peter laughed as he helped Sam up,

"I have a plan…let's go and check out Ava's date" he laughed the elevator went so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

"That's a bad idea" Peter said shuttering at what would Ava would do to them if she caught them spying on her date tonight,

"Come parker don't be a wuss" Sam hiccupped "come on guys we all know we want to".

Despite Peter's protest the guys decided to run over to the zoo and check on Ava's date, they found them looking at the polar bear exhibit Ava's hand was entwined with his and her head rested on her shoulder before Dallas tilted her head up and kissed her.

Something began to burn within Peter as he watched them, a violence surrounded him he wanted to throw Dallas into the bear pool head first and hold his head under water until the bubbles stopped. (Devil Spidey popped up on Peter's shoulder "you could do it you know it's dark there's no witnesses out here accidents do happen" he said maniacally as Angel spidey popped up on Peter's other shoulder "hey now Ava's your friend you should be happy that she's happy" he argued. Devil spidey webbed his mouth shut "time for a little spider mischief" he nudged with a wink)

"The devil has a point" Peter thought to himself.

But before Peter could even think of a devious plan Sam beat him to it, he had pissed on the zoo power generator and caused it to arc out and shut down some of the electronic locks on the cages. A Lion, a Rhino, and a zebra had escaped, "Sam you stupid…" Peter started but was cut off by Sam "yeah, yeah I'm a horses ass I know just grab one will you" he shouted.

Luke ran after the Rhino, Sam and Danny chased down the lion leaving Peter the Zebra "so the guy in the cowboy costume gets the horse?" he sighed,

The guys all did their best to try and stay hidden from Ava and Dallas as so they didn't ruin her date, but that was proving difficult.

Luke had tried to match the Rhino in brute force and wrestle the powerful animal, the Rhino became angry and charged swinging Luke from its horn it stormed through the park as Luke fought to control it they zig zagged from side to side behind Ava and Dallas who were completely oblivious to the ragging brute behind them.

They crashed into the concrete pen when Luke finally slammed his fists down on the Rhinos head knocking it out cold "sweet Christmas….I hope nobody notices that" he mumbled as he started dragging the Rhino back to its pen,

Dallas turned to Ava "did you hear that? Sounds like somebody tried to knock down a wall" he said, Ava's eyes widened in fear she quickly whipped around and turned on her communicator "guys please tell me you're not at the zoo picking fights" she hissed, "no worries Ava were just grabbing a slice and heading home…how's the date?" came Peter's voice. Ava cut the communication off at that question she knew something was amiss but didn't want to leave her date.

Sam and Danny had chased the Lion into washrooms, the Lion glared at Sam with ravenous hunger "why is he looking at me like that?" Sam gulped.

"You are dressed like a horse, perhaps he is hungry" Danny suggested, Sam's eyes bulged out of his head as his head flipped from Danny to the Lion,

"Not funny dude…you think he is though?"

The Lion snarled at the boys they were still drunk from the party and Sam didn't have his helmet "we should probably run" Danny suggested but Sam was already gone out the door "….It's good to have friends" he sighed as he to bolted for the door with the hungry Lion hunting them down.

The boys ran across the zoo with the Lion on their tails they ran around the tiger pen seconds after Ava and Dallas just left it.

"Ok seriously Ava I hear something!" Dallas freaked, "I didn't hear anything" Ava replied.

Danny put the Lion in a head lock while Sam tried to restrain its leg's "hey Danny spin him around I'll kick him in the nuts" Sam shouted, but they didn't have to the Lion passed out from the hold Danny had,

"I hate cats" Sam breathed exhaustedly.

Peter chased the zebra into the middle of traffic but quickly caught it, although dozens of people caught him on camera doing so luckily the hat and mask hid his face. "Oh I'd be stupid not to this bit" he smiled to himself and took of his hat "HIYOO SILVER AWAY!" he shouted as he rode the zebra back into the zoo.

He rode the zebra back to its pen but came to skidding stop, Ava and Dallas were 10 feet in front of him reading the display map looking for the nocturnal animals,

"Maybe we should call it a night and get some "sleep" Dallas said laying the heavy hint on "sleep" which only spiked Peter's anger even more, he really didn't like Dallas and now even more so he wanted to beat him senseless.

"Dallas….I'm not ready for that extend of intimacy" Ava whimpered, Peter saw the slightest flash of anger in Dallas's eyes,

"You hurt her Dallas… and I'll end you!" Peter hissed under his breath.

"Maybe I should just take you home" Dallas said with ice in his voice,

As they walked away Peter locked the Zebra back up in its pen, the guys met up with him at the main gate "let's go home guys I've had enough excitement for tonight" Peter said depressingly and the others nodded in agreement, Sam keeled over and puked into the monkey cage upsetting the occupants.

They made it home around 12:30 minutes after Ava and Dallas,

"How was the party boys" Dallas scoffed "nice mask Parker did the other raccoons play nicely with you".

Peter would have liked to have knocked Dallas out but Ava was still his friend and doing so might get her mad at him, so he put on a fake smile "you know what Dallas they didn't, they all seemed pretty upset you weren't there to play in garbage with them" he retorted.

"Peter!" Ava hissed "night boys" she added holding the door open signaling them to go inside and leave them alone,

"Is it just me or does Ava seem rather bitchy when she's with him" Luke asked,

The guys all traded looks then replied in unison "she's bitchy when he's around".

Aunt May came down stairs and Saw Ava on the front steps with a familiar boy, her eyes narrowed and she moved to the door "hello Dallas" Aunt May said coldly,

Dallas's eyes widened and his jaw went slack his face pretty much read "oh crap".

"Mrs. Parker, good to see you" Dallas whimpered,

Aunt May however did not look happy "Dallas shouldn't you be at home with your fiancé and your child like a loyal father should be!" she hissed.

With those words the atmosphere went dead, everybody looked from Ava to Dallas waiting for the lethal reaction but Ava just wrapped her arms around herself and ran inside, "Ava I can explain" Dallas shouted.

Ava stopped beside Peter and turned back to Dallas she was trying to fight back the hurt, betrayal and the tears "I trusted you, believed you when you said loved me. This whole time you have another girl and a child drop dead" Ava ran upstairs and Peter heard the sound of her sniffling and soon crying.

Dallas tried to step inside when Peter stopped him it was one thing to be a jerk around her but to use her as an attempt at a booty call Peter wasn't letting that slide "you didn't hear her to well so I'll clear it up for you….Fuck off….sorry aunt May" he said "Luke escort him from the property".

Luke grabbed Dallas and threw him into the trash cans "you come near Ava again….they will never find your body" he growled.

Peter went upstairs he could hear Ava from his room he knew she was crying, he had no idea what he could say or do in this situation he knocked 3 times "Ava…are you there?" he asked,

"Go away Peter! I don't want to talk!" she cried. Peter took a deep breath and walked in

"You know what it's my room" he said playfully, Ava's eyes were red and puffy and his pillow was soaked, "Ava look…"

"Peter I don't want to talk about it ok, if the only reason a guy likes me is just to use me to escape his other girlfriend and child then I'm done with all of you!" she hissed,

Peter sat down on the edge of the bed and placed a hand on her shoulder "I'm sorry that this happened Ava especially to you….you don't deserve to be treated like that. But don't give up yet I'm betting some day you will find your mister perfect and he'll treat you the way you should be" Peter said as he started rubbing her back being careful not to go to low.

Ava sat up and wiped her eyes good old Parker was by her side every time she needed a friend "you know I should have clued in that he was no good when he asked me to sleep with him on the first date" she sniffled,

"Sometimes when we want something Ava we overlook the smaller details, you can't hold that against yourself",

Ava wrapped her arms around Peter's chest "why can't I find a guy like you?" she joked.

Peter smiled she was coming around again "because the human race couldn't survive if there were more guys like me" he chuckled, Ava pulled away from him

"You'd be surprised Peter once girls realize the high school drama subsides and bad guys aren't worth trying to change they'll be fighting over you" she whispered.

"Ha-ha you're going to ok, you are the strongest person I know" Peter finished as he tried to stand up, but Ava did not relinquish her hold on him, in fact she tightened her grip and began to purr.

"Please just stay 5 minutes longer Peter … I don't want to be alone"

Peter sank back into the bed as Ava rested her head on his chest and resumed purring, "you know Peter it's funny every time something goes wrong in my life you're the one who's there to pick me up" Ava whispered.

"I've always got your back Ava you know that" he replied.

Ava looked up in to Peter's his deep blue eyes that were always so full of life, hope and comfort "Peter what's wrong with me? Do I just pick absolute jerks?"

"No, the bad guys just outnumber the nice guys so mathematically the odds are stacked against you" Peter replied,

Ava slid her arms up around his neck "maybe not… I found you after all"

She leaned in to kiss him but Peter backed away "Ava your hurt and your mad and I'm just a comforting shoulder to cry on" he said,

Ava crawled over the bed to him "true but I can't deny how I feel" she replied as she jumped into Peter's arms "Peter I think I love you….and I'm sorry I took so long to realize it" she finished as she kissed him they fell back on to the bed,

"Ava….I love you to….I always have" he whispered.
