Chapter 1: everything you dreamed

Chapter Text

Peter Parker didn’t expect at 14 years old to be thrown into fighting crime. He more importantly didn't expect to show up to his apartment in Queens after school to see Tony Stark talking to his aunt May like they were old friends. 

 

“You ever been to germany?” Tony asked the question already knowing the answer.

 

“No?” Peter replied, confused where the question would lead.   

 

“Oh, you’ll love it!” Tony spoke mockingly to the younger boy.

 

“I can’t go to Germany!” 

 

“Why?”

 

‘I’m 14’ Peter had wanted to say but had figured the older man had already known that, Since the man had known he was spiderman. Peter didn’t want to admit he was scared either so he said what first came to mind.

 

“I got…homework.” Once the words left his mouth he mentally face plamed for saying something so stupid.  

 

“Alright, I’m gonna pretend you didn’t say that.”

 

Peter wasn’t gonna back out of his excuse now. “Im- Im being serious!” God 

 

Peter wanted to laugh at himself. “I can't just drop out of school.”

 

The whole trip to Germany and back felt like a fever dream. One he would wake up at any minute too. 

When everything was done and over, Peter sat on his bed.

 

The clock read 2:46 am.

 

He couldn’t sleep, the adrenaline still coursing through his thin frame. 

 

Maybe it wasn’t the adrenaline but the thought in his that kept reminding him.

 

He was only 14, and he didn’t ask for this.

 

But this is what dreams are made of? 

 

I mean Peter just fought half of the avengers.

 

He just became Mr Stark's personal intern.

 

So he quietly repeated to himself. “It doesn’t matter im only 14” 

 

Other people would kill to be him right now, he was living the dream.

 

It didn't matter he was only 14.
