After comforting MJ for a while, Peter left and was surprised to find another group of agents following him, which were most likely sent by Fury. He didn't think that the director of Shield would waste resources on him, but it seemed like MJ's daddy is more protective than he thought.

'I still can't believe Nick Fury is MJ's dad. I don't remember seeing her father in the movies, but it couldn't have been Fury, could it?' Peter thought questioningly.

The whole way home, Peter sensed the agents follow him, never getting close but always on his tail. When he rode the subway, Peter knew that they followed him into the train and were only a couple of passenger cars down.

Upon arriving home, an unmarked black sedan showed up. The people that were following Peter got in the car and sat outside all night, watching the place in a similar manner to how the agents at MJ's house were.

Listening carefully, Peter heard that they couldn't listen in on the apartment. Thankfully, there are too many people living in the building for their equipment to hone in on just one single area.

They were forced to simply stake out the place and watch it with binoculars. Hearing this, Peter closed his room's curtains and blinds without rousing any suspicion. He made it look like he was simply making the rounds before bed.

Not putting it past Fury to bug his house in the short time since he's met him, Peter used his enhanced senses to search the apartment from top to bottom.

It seems like he overestimated Fury as nothing was found. Though that doesn't mean Peter would let his guard down. He'll have to make periodic searches of the house from now on, or come up with some sort of tech to block surveillance devices.

With that done, Peter was going to leave for his Spiderly duties, but then he looked at his phone warily and sighed. He usually takes his phone with him every night to hear the police dispatch, but now that he's on Shields radar, it's likely that Fury is or will be tracking it.

Peter could get away with using his phone before because of how crowded NYC is. Anyone trying to find Spider-Man by tracking nearby smartphones would pick up tens of thousands of phone signals in any given area, making it an impossible task. Almost nine million people lived in the city and that wasn't even counting the huge population of tourists that come and go every day.

Knowing that he can't take his phone with him anymore, Peter decided to take the night off and work on a solution.

'Sorry, New York. You'll have to survive one night without Spider-Man...' Peter thought.

He could use his newfound knowledge of Cryptography, network security, coding, etc. to block anyone from locating and snooping into his phone, but that may alert Fury and make Shield suspicious, so Peter came up with a better idea.

Peter hacked into his phone and added a new setting under the unassuming name VPN. When the setting is toggled on, his phone would freeze any location tracking to his last known location, so if he turns it on now and leaves, the phone would register him still inside his bedroom.

Peter also made it impossible for anyone to use his phone as a surveillance device, while also hiding the use of the ham radio app. He didn't bother hiding that he has the app, as it's something a nerd like him would be interested in and everyone has a few apps that they downloaded and never use.

Other than that, Peter didn't have anything to hide in his phone. He mainly uses it for personal things, so nothing incriminating is on it. The only problem he will have is the breach of privacy due to Fury being an overprotective father, but he can deal with that.

If he were to completely lock Shield out of his phone, they would likely think Peter's some sort of spy that's trying to use Fury's daughter against him or something.

The only thing that could raise some suspicion is the fact that they won't be able to spy on Peter through the cameras or microphone in the phone, but that will hopefully be chalked up to a glitch or hardware issue.

Peter just has to live while knowing that his girlfriend's father is most likely reading their private messages, which is unsettling, to say the least. He'll just have to stray away from the casual d*ck pic and make sure MJ doesn't send any nudes either. Though neither of them is the type to do that anyway.

Just in case, Peter swiped May's phone and made it impossible for Shield to use her phone as a surveillance device as well. It may increase their suspicion, but both he and May have the same model phone, which they bought at the same time. Hopefully, they'll just think that both phones have some sort of issue.

Thankfully, nothing else in the house could be used as a surveillance device. Peter's computer has no microphone or webcam, and May only uses her phone and the TV.

By the time Peter had finished putting in the safeguards against Shield and Hydra by extension, it was already morning. Deciding to not mess up his sleep schedule, Peter went to the kitchen and started brewing some coffee.

While drinking coffee and watching TV, Peter sent MJ a good morning text. Suddenly, Peter felt as though he was forgetting something.

"..." thinking for a moment, it dawns on him and Peter smacks his hand onto his forehead. "How did I not think of this..."

Shield has been infiltrated by Hydra and MJ is the daughter of Nick Fury, who is one of Hydra's biggest obstacles to complete control over Shield.

Peter knows Fury is a very careful and methodical man, but he doesn't know about Hydra's infiltration yet. Even if he is only using his most trusted agents to watch his family and keeps it completely off the books, that doesn't mean at least one of those agents isn't a long-time plant from Hydra.

They could already know and have plans to use MJ and her mother against the one-eyed director. If Peter was a betting man, he would place his money on Hydra doing so during their uprising in the Captain America: Winter Soldier movie. Might as well get some leverage just in case their plan to kill Fury fails, which it did in the movie.

"One problem gets solved and another rears its ugly head..." Peter sighs audibly as he starts thinking of ways to protect his girlfriend and her mother.

Brainstorming for a while, Peter couldn't come up with a way to protect them 24/7, unless he stands guard for every waking moment of their lives. The most he can think of is to put a tracker on them so he can find them in an emergency, but things like that can be found with the right tech.

Knowing that this isn't something the mundane world has an answer to, Peter leaves a note for his still sleeping Aunt May and leaves for Kamar-Taj. He knew the men from Shield were still outside, so he simply portal'd straight there. He didn't think walking them to the New York Sanctum would be the brightest idea.

Arriving earlier than usual, Peter went looking for the Ancient One, who was instructing some would-be Masters in one of the many courtyards of Kamar-Taj.

"Peter, you're early." She greets him as she steps away from the students.

"I need your help with something." Peter says.

"Alright, follow me." The Ancient One said as she gives some orders to a nearby Master, who takes her place teaching the students, and leads Peter to the room where they first met.

As they both take a seat, the Ancient One makes her usual tea and looks at Peter expectantly.

"I need to learn some enchantments that protect people. Specifically for tracking and protection. It would be best if the person I would place it on doesn't know it's there in the first place." Peter explains what he needs.

"I have many spells that would fit those criteria." She says with a nod. "First, tell me why you need them."

"My girlfriend's dad is some sort of high-level spy. I mean you should see him. He looks like a bad*ss secret agent from some video game. I met him last night. When he left, I noticed a car watching MJ's house and another followed me home. It's still there as we speak. I think MJ and her mother will be targeted because of his work, which is why her father has these people stationed to guard them." Peter explains without giving away his future knowledge.

"I see, you certainly have an interesting life, Peter." The Ancient One says with a smile.

"Yeah, it's never been boring that's for sure." Peter gives a small laugh. "I just need something that protects them while letting me know their location. Preferably in a way that they don't know about. I haven't told them about my powers and stuff yet."

"Hmm, so she doesn't know you're Spider-Man?" She asks as Peter shakes his head. "Don't hide it for too long, especially as your relationship deepens. Every secret has an expiration date after all."

"I'll think on that." Peter nods, seriously considering her advice. "Now that the therapy portion of our talk is over, can you teach me how to do this? I'd like to get their protection in place as early as possible."

"Of course, let's start one by one, and then I'll teach you how to combine all of your requests into a single spell."
