Chapter Text
Peter Parker has been living in the tower with the avengers for around a year now. Of corse he misses his aunt May more than anything, and wishes they could all be back together. However Peter found that living with the avengers does have some perks, for starters he now has twenty four-seven access to Tony's personal labs, which contain anything Peter could possibly need to work on his meany projects and to get up to all kinds of mischief -Peter quickly realised that Tony’s labs are infinitely better than any of the chem labs at school- another thing Peter has enjoyed since moving in to the tower, is happy taking him to and from school. Sure his walk to his old apartment wasn’t too far, but he enjoyed not having to worry about the wind and rain every day. He also found after the first few months of living with Tony and the team that he liked living with lots of people around and had grown quite fond of the chaos of living with a group of erratic superheroes.
Peter was sat daydreaming, rolling a pencil up and down his desk mindlessly. He was sat in last period chemistry on a Thursday afternoon watching the minutes slowly tick by on the clock above the white board. He did liked chemistry, and Mr Harrington but he found most of the topics far to easy, so instead he spent his time wondering if he could somehow add light refraction panels to his spider-man suit so he turn invisible in the dark when patrolling, but he couldn’t think of a way to do it without sacrificing the bullet proof lining to his suit and he doubted Tony would allow that. He’d have to ask Tony if he had any ideas when he finally got home.
“Parker!” Mr Harrington shouted.
“Yes sir.” Peter replied, his head snapping up as the sound of Mr Harrington’s voice.
“What is the structure of a diamond?” Mr Harrington asked sternly, crossing his arms around his chest. So thats what this lesion is about Peter thought to himself before answering.
“ erm… they have a large lattice of thousands of carbon atoms, that each making four bonds with other carbon atoms. this makes them hard to brake apart since you need to brake all of the covalent bonds.” Peter answered whilst fiddling with his pen.
“Thank you Peter.” Mr Harrington replied, looking slightly shocked but brushing it off.
“Dude how the hell do you know all that, we’ve only just started the topic.” Ned whispered elbowing him.
“Erm, well a few weeks ago Tony was experimenting with using graphene to create bullet proof clothing. and I was helping so he told me about how it was so strong, and how diamond had a similar structure.”
“Your dad is so awesome bro.” Ned replied looking starstruck.
“He’s not my dad!” Peter whispered, going slightly red.
“what ever you say dude.” Ned said turning back to look at Mr Harrington.
Peter tried to do the same but keped thinking about what Ned had said. I mean he loved Tony and was so grateful he took him in when May passed away but he always thought that was it. Maybe Tony was acting like his dad? He always thought of Tony as a father figure but he always thought Tony just thought of him as a mentor and a friend. But maybe Tony did think of him like a son?
“Before you leave I have a surprise for you all.” Peter looked up at that, he hoped it was no homework, he was behind enough as it was and he didn’t want to skip movie night with the avengers, and he wanted to look at the light reflection panels when he got home. “Since the decathlon team won the summer meet the school managed to get the hole team a tour of stark industrys tomorrow!”
The whole class erupted into cheers at the news, but Peter groaned and sat lower in he’s seat, he knew what this meant a hole day of being completely embarrassed by his family of super heroes. He could NOT go on this trip. But then he realised that the Avengers wouldn’t know he had a trip. Mr Harrington always gave them paper permission slips, if he binned it he could just pretend to be sick tomorrow and stay in the private floors of the tower. No, Nat would see straight through that, she might be on a mission though, he heard her and Clint talking about that last weekend. still there was a whole floor of doctors and nurses who will be able to pretty quickly tell if he was faking.
Tony never really minded if he skipped a day though, he could jut tell him that he was really behind on his schoolwork. Yea, that would probably work he just needed to make sure that no one found the permission slip. Peter actually was quite pleased with himself until the class quietened down and Mr Harrington was able to finish his sentence.
“this year dew to prior issues with permission slips, I’m looking at you Peter. all parents have been sent the permission slips via email to avoid any complications”
Peter was screwed he was really screwed! Maybe that was a bit dramatic Tony isn’t awful? He might sometimes be a bit embarrassing but the real issue was if he told Clint or sam.
“Hey penis, how do you feel finally getting what you deserve.” Peter winced as the one other problem with this trip from hell strutted towards them, Flash.
“Piss off Eugene” MJ shouted from the row behind him and Ned. Unfortunately Flash ignored the remark.
“How on earth are you going to keep up with your fake internship, now we are literally going to the place that you supposedly work” Flash snorted.
“Oh my god Flash Peter’s internship is real! Stop being such a dick, and leave him alone!” Ned shouted.
God Peter loved Ned.
“Ned language!” Mr Harrington shouted from his desk though he looked more busy trying to control a bunch of girls fraternising him over how likely it was to see Steve Rodger’s or Thor while on the trip.
Luckily for the trio, the bell rang for the end of the day before Flash could get in another snarky comment.
“Dude this trip is going to be so awesome!” Ned exclaimed, while the three of them walked down the corridor to the front entrance of the school.
“Ned you come to the tower all the time! you were literally there yesterday.” Peter retorted.
“Yea but we always go up the back entrance and go straight to your room to play video games!” Ned replied.
“God you two are such losers.” MJ snorted.
“Rude. Anyway back to my point, I never get to see all the cool stuff, and this trip will be the perfect opportunity to show every one that Flash is a stuck-up bully and completely wrong!” Ned said as they walked out the front gate.
“he does have a point.” MJ replied.
“What the hell two second ago we were both losers” Peter remarked.
“Times change Parker get with it” MJ smiled nudging Peter in the arm.
“ whatever,” Peter said rolling his eyes. “I have to go I can see Happy over there”
“Ok we’ll talk tomorrow bye Pete”. Ned said waving goodbye.
“By loser” MJ shouted as they
“Hi Pete, how was school?” Happy asked innocently so peter assumed he didn’t know about the field trip yet.
“it was ok” Peter replied. He decided it was best to not tell happy yet, as he presumed that he would make a rather big deal over it. Luckily Happy didn’t seem to notice anything was wrong.
“We’re picking up pizza for the team on the way back so decided what you want now so I can call the place.” Happy said whilst trying to pullout of the drop off lain.
“We had pizza last week!” Peter moaned.
“Sorry kiddo you were out voted” Happy replied.
“Ugh, ok I’ll have pepperoni” Peter said.
“Again?!”
“Pepperoni is a classic!” Peter replied.
“ok, I give up, I’ll call the place now” Happy said as he began to dial the number for the pizza place.
They didn’t talk that much for the rest of the ride back, so Peter instead used this time to create his amazing 3 step plan to avoid as much embarrassment as possible, since would definitely not be able to skip now that Tony knew about the trip.
1. As soon as he got home he’d track down Tony, ask him (politely) to NOT embarrass him on Friday and to not tell ANYONE (except pepper, she won’t do anything) about his trip.
2. He would then use Friday to look at the schedule for the trip and if nessary change it to avoid any avengers.
3. Hope any pray that Nat did go on a mission because she has a scary ability of being able to tell when anyone is evan thinking about lying. If she is at home then he would try to avoid her (but also not too much because then she would be suspicious about why he was avoiding him).
He was feeling pretty confident in his plan when him and happy pulled into the private parking garage round the back of the tower. He helped happy get the trunk full of pizza boxes into the elevator up to the penthouse and onto the kitchen table.
“Friday, where’s Tony?” He asked the AI. Determined to carry out his plan before everyone came to eat.
“Boss is in the living room mini boss” that’s weird, Peter thought to himself, Tony never comes out of his lab this early. Peter didn’t think much of it though, pepper likes to drag him out once in a while for sun lite and human interaction.
But as he walked into the lounge his worst nightmare came true!
“Hey Pete you excited for Tomorrow.” Sam chuckled patting him on the shoulder. As peter came in.
“YOU TOLD THEM!” Peter shouted at Tony who was slumped sideways across an arm chair.
“Wow bambino don’t get your knickers in a twist,” Tony responded dryly putting his arms in the air as if surrendering,“ I didn’t know it was that big of a deal.”
“That big of a deal, there going to completely embarrass me!” Peter accused pointing at the sofa of hero’s.
“We wouldn’t be family if we didn’t embarrass you.” Clint replied, dramatically placing his hand on his heart.
“ noo please just stay away from me on Friday, it’s going to be awkward enough since no one believes that I have an inter ship here.”
“Why don’t they believe that you have an internship here!” Tony accused.
“Well to be fair internships are for college students and above and I’m a junior in high school” Peter replied
“Yes but you are a genius Peter surely them must know that!?” Tony said sitting up right in his chair.
“It’s not like im building stark tech in history, everyone thinks I’m just a normal smart kid!”
“Well we need to change that immediately,” Tony replied pointing a finger at Peter “but we will have to get on to that later, since there is someone here visiting that wants to meet you.”
“Who?” Peter managed to get out before the defining voice of Thor spread through out the room.
“lord of stark what are these delectable rectangles of joy and where can I get more” Thor boomed whilst storoling into the living room holding an empty box of pop tarts. Peter stared at the man dumbfounded, he’d only ever seen Thor on the TV and Tony said the last time that they saw him was when they fought Ultron.
“There pop tarts Thor you can get them at a store, but you have to pay for them. remember!?” Tony responds rolling his eyes “I gave u a card I sware to god if you lost it again!”
“Do not fret stark I’m in possession of your square of money,” Thor replies beaming “so if I go to one of these stores you speak of I can exchange the square for more of these tarts of pop as you say?” Thor questions holding up the box.
“No! Oh my god, I will buy you pop tart tomorrow do not exchange your credit card for anything!” Tony exlamed. “Friday cancel thors card”
“Point-brakes card has been disabled boss” the AI replied.
“Anyway,” tony says walking over to Peter. “Thor this is Peter I was telling you about him thi-“
“Ahh yes the son of stark, it’s a pleasure to meet you.” Thor grinned cutting Tony off. “I hear that you are the courageous type much like your father, you will have to tell me how you fight crime as such a small and puny insect”
“Spider-man Thor, spider-man! Emphasis on the man, for crying out loud.” Tony moned putting his head in his hands.
“It’s nice to meet you to Mr Thor.” Peter replied smiling awkwardly “and I don’t really become a spider I’m just kinda strong and have good reflexes, I did make these web shooters though for my hands so I can swing of walls and stuff”
“Interesting man of spiders I can’t wait to join you in the next battle so you can show me such things.” Thor replied.
“Peter will not be joining any avengers battles any time soon thank you, now if you don’t mind I think that there are pizzas in the kitchen that are getting cold” Tony said as he started ushering the group into the kitchen.
“So about my trip…” Peter said after the first dozen pizzas were gone.
“You’re going Petie-pie zip it.” Tony replied with pizza sauce dripping down his chin.
“It’s social suicide!” Peter exclaimed, making Sam laugh and spitting pizza across the table.
“I think that is over stating things Pete” Nat replied, however she seemed more focused on taking food from Bruce’s plate.
“I don’t see what your so worried about” Peper started whist squeezing Peter’s shoulder “most of us aren’t going to do any thing but say hi, and I know to you Sam and Clint are your embarrassing uncles,”
“Rude!” Clint retorted
“but to the rest of your class there avengers!”
“People do love to look up to us” Sam laughed.
“I guess your right” Peter admitted “but this does NOT mean that I’m giving anyone permission to embarrass me on Friday, actually Maybe it is just best for avoid the trip all together”
“Yea yea we’l see lord of spiders.” Clint joked.
once they all finished the pizza they clean up together, witch wasn’t that hard considering that they ate of the pizza boxes. After the kitchen was clean they decided to watch a film before they headed to bed. To save from arguing, people walking off and sometimes actual fighting, the team (mostly Tony) created a film picking rota. Today it was Sam’s turn to pick.
“Top gun maverick” Sam shouts to Friday as he jumps onto the sofa.
“Wouldn’t angry birds be more fitting” Clint scoffs whilst sitting down on a armchair.
”ha ha very funny catpiss, angry birds isn’t a film anyway it’s a game” Sam retorted
“no there’s a movie to it came out in like 2016” Peter replies
“ always such a smart ass Peter” Sam moaned.
“I will not apologise for being better that you” Peter retorted.
”god you sound more and more like Tony every day” Steve snorted “let’s just start the dam film before someone louses and arm.”
“Too late” bucky scoffed whilst sitting down next to Steve
“Friday just press play.” Tony shouted over the commotion.
The team manage to watch the film without too much commotion, apart from an array of popcorn being thrown by a particular archer, Bruce and Nat bickering over couch cushions and Tony need to explain the fundamental parts of each aircraft and how the movie could not be possible in real life.
Eventually the movie ended, by that point Nat and Bruce were curled up together on a sofa, Clint and sam had disappeared somewhere (probably plotting), Steve an Bucky were both fast asleep, Thor was back in the kitchen and Tony was discussing light refraction panels with Peter while Pepper was snoring on his chest.
“You could do it but your suit would have to be thicker, and I know how you get with being able to move” Tony said whilst stroking Peppers hair.
“What if you used nanotech” Peter replied sleepily.
“I tried that on mark 60 something and it didn’t work right it kept glitching out cause of the surface area to volume ratio of the molecules”
“Aw dam.” Peter said snuggling into his dad NO Tony’s side. As he drifted off to sleep.
