Chapter 31
Peter's P.O.V
I head back up to the living room and see that everyone is still there. I sit down next to Tony he gives me a sly smile.
"What?" I ask and he just shrugs 'innocently'.
"So Peter, that was your boyfriend?" Clint asks and he's also smiling.
"Well yes, can you believe it." I say and do jazz hands.
"To be honest Peter... I had my doubts..." He says with a chuckle.
"Rude."
"Ladies, ladies, calm your cat fight. We still gotta tell Peter the news." Natasha says and I look at her a little confused.
"Oh yeah! Peter, tomorrow we'll be having some guests over." Tony explains and I nod.
"Who are they?" I ask and Clint peaks up.
"Can I tell him? Pleaseeee?" Clint whines and Nat nods. "Alright... The king of Wakanda is coming here tomorrow." My jaw drops. "Annndddd... he's also bringing his sister, the princess of Wakanda with him."
"R-really...?" I ask and I look over at Tony. He nods and I fake faint.
"Woah kid, you okay?" Tony asks and he chuckles a little. I then fly up from my spot.
"Now I can ask her how she made Bucky's arm! And all her inventions! " I fanboy.
"Oh look, we have a fanboy." Clint snickers and they all start laughing. I blush a little and sit back down.
"How long will they be staying?" I ask Tony.
"Just a couple of days." Tony answers and I nod. Tony then looks at the watch on his arm and gives me a smirk. "Time for bed spider baby."
I let out a loud "Uggghhhhh" and stand up, starting to make my way towards the bedrooms.
"And don't forget to brush your teeth!" Tony yells with a small laugh.
"Alright, Dad." I say fake annoyed and laugh a little as I make my way towards my room. But I stop in the hallway where they can't see me to listen if they're going to spill some tea.
"Called it." I hear Natasha say and Clint groans a bit so I guess he gave her money.
"Wait, what? Did you bet on something?" Tony asks and I hear some light snickers.
"Well... we were maayyybbeee... betting on who Peter would call dad first..." Clint says and he's still snickering. I get a little red and quietly sit down on the floor feeling embarrassed.
"He... he actually called me dad once before this." I hear Tony mumble all of a sudden and I get a little confused. 'Did... did I call him dad once before? When?' I think to myself.
"When?" Steve asks.
"Well, it was actually the day we...uhh...'discovered' his identity... or...uhh... earlier that day. He came to the tower a little earlier since he got suspended but he felt ill. I think he said it was some sort of... 'sensory overload'... or something like that." Tony starts. "Anyways, I told him to go to bed, so I helped him to his room and when he got into bed he was half asleep. I don't think he remembers saying it... but... he said '...Thanks...Dad...'."
I am speechless. Did I really say that... oh god...
"This was of course before we really knew anything so... uhh... yeah..." Tony finishes.
"That was adorable." Clint says and I can literally hear the smirk in his voice.
"Yeah, it was. And you should have seen how nervous he was when he told me." Stephen says and I hear them all laughing. I guess that's my cue to leave.
I head towards my bedroom and as I'm about to go to bed I look over at my suit. It's not that late, right?
"Maybe... I can just go out for an hour or two...?" I mumble to myself and I put the suit on. Then I walk over to the window and jump out, starting to swing my way through the city.
I stop some crime and about an hour later, I spot Wade, as usual, sitting on a roof. I swing over and sit down next to him. I notice there's a big duffle bag next to him.
"What's up?" I ask and he jumps a little, looking over at me terrified. I can see that his mask is a little damp. "Wade? What's wrong?"
"Peter...? Oh god... Just... nothing. Don't worry. I'm fine... Everything's fine...!" He says and I can hear the pain in his voice.
"Wade. What's wrong?" I say again, this time a bit stricter, but still softly. He looks at me and pulls off his mask. My eyes go wide from all the bruises on his face. His eyes are red and puffy and I pull him into a tight hug.
We stay like that for awhile. Then when we break the hug, he wipes away some tears and I take his hand.
"Let's just say... I don't have to worry about my parents anymore..." He says just above a whisper.
"How come?" I softly ask.
"My parents are getting a divorce and they just... disowned me, I guess. Kicked me out. Though, my mom did get in some last hits..." He says.
"Where will you be staying?"
"Well... You remember Matt Murdock, right?" I nod. "I... uhh... called him up and he's letting me stay with him for the time being."
"Did he know about... all of this?"
"You can't lie to the living lie detector. I tried once but he busted my ass and I was forced-ish to tell him some stuff. He understood and told me if I ever needed a place to stay I could call him, which I now did."
"And what about your parents? Shouldn't you at least try to do something, like putting them in jail?"
"As I said before. Dad's got contacts and Mom... has her ways... But Dad is going back to Canada and Mom is moving to some other state with one of her, quote-on-quote, "Suger daddys"." Wade shivers a little by saying the word. "Disgusting."
"Well... I'm just happy you don't have to live with them anymore and that you have somewhere to stay." I say and he gives me a smile.
We talk for awhile and I then remember that I have to go home.
"Uhh... Karen... what time is it?"
"It's currently 1:23AM, Sir Spider Overlord." Karen answers and I snicker a little at the name I programmed her to call me. Then all of a sudden, my spidey sense is telling me somethings wrong. I then realize who it is and it was at that moment I knew...
I fucked up.
"Shouldn't you be in bed, mister?" I hear someone say behind us and we turn around to be greeted by... the one and only... Tony Stark.
"Heeyyyy Tonyyy... I was just... uhh... you know..." I start but he gives me a look and I just stop talking.
"I guess that's you Wade." Tony says and he frowns a little from the sight of Wade's face. I look over at Wade and he has a mischievous smile.
"oH mY gOd, It'S RoBeRt DoWnEy jR" He says and both me and Tony look at him confused. He starts laughing and we just ignore it.
"Anyways... Time for bed Peter." Tony says and he flies over and lifts me up under my arms.
"Aww... come on..." I whine, but then I look back at Wade. "Bye Wade! See you tomorrow!"
He waves and I prepare myself to get yelled at. But Tony doesn't do anything until we're close to the tower.
"What happened to his face? He didn't have most of those bruises when we saw him earlier." I stay quiet for awhile.
"His parents... They... weren't the best... Thankfully, he doesn't live with them anymore from today on." I say and Tony stays quiet.
We land on the roof of the tower and enter the elevator. The ride down is quiet and I prepare myself for all the yelling I'm going to get. After a couple of seconds the doors open and we enter the living room. The second we step out something tackles me into a hug. That something being Stephen's Cloak.
"Woah! Cloak, calm down." I say with a small laugh and I see Stephen walking over to us.
"Peter. Where were you?" He asks and his face is blank. It's really hard to decipher his emotions sometimes.
"I was... uhh... with... a... friend..." I say nervously. He gives me a 'really' look and then gives the cloak a glare, making it put me down, of course, patting my head.
"Hun, don't be too hard on him. He just went out to save the city." Tony says and he puts his arm around my shoulder.
"*Sigh* I swear, you both will be the death of me."
"No hun, that was Dormammu." Tony says jokingly and I have no idea what he's talking about.
"Alright, bye bye." At that moment, Stephen makes a portal and Tony falls into it. Then the portal closes.
I am sooo never pissing him off. Ever.
"Uhh... will he be okay...?" I ask and Stephen chuckle a little.
"Don't worry Peter. I just teleported him to bed. He needs to sleep. And so do you. Come on. Let's go." He says and I don't object.
We enter my room and I get into bed. Stephen sits down on the edge of the bed and says good night, kissing my forehead in the process. As he makes his way out of the room he stops by the door.
"Oh. And Peter. Please tell us next time you're going out. Or don't. It was fun watching Tony freak out." I chuckle a little, then he closes the door and I fall asleep.
~Earlier that evening~
Stephen's P.O.V
"Alright, Dad" Peter says fake annoyed and walks out of the room. Tony looks a little surprised, but then he has a warm smile plastered on his face. Clint gives Nat money and Tony tells us, or the others, the time Peter called him dad for the first time.
"That was adorable." Clint says and he's smirking.
"Yeah, it was. And you should have seen how nervous he was when he told me." I say and we all laugh a little. After that we watch a movie and slowly, but surely, everyone head off to their rooms, leaving me and Tony in the living room. I look over at Tony and he has a big smile on his face.
"What's making you smile so much hun?" I ask with a chuckle and he looks over at me, still smiling.
"All of this." He motions his hand around the room. "This place, this family. You and Peter. It's..."
"..."
"I...I never thought I would have this. This family. I thought that my life would just be boring and me gambling it away. But then I was kidnapped and all that shit happened and I became Iron Man. I met you. I met the Avengers. We all became a little family. And then... Peter came into our lives. I'm just... really happy and thankful."
I smile and kiss his forehead. We stand up and head off to our room. But we quickly check in Peter's room, just to make sure nothings wrong. But when we open the door and look in, it's empty. The bed sheets still laying neatly on the bed and the window is a little open.
"What the Fu-" Tony is about to yell but I put my hand over his mouth and tell him to be quiet.
"Friday. Did Peter jump out of the window and swing off?" I ask the A.I. and Tony looks a little worried.
"I can confirm he did Wizard." I sigh and Tony still looks a little worried.
"How long ago?"
"1h and 12 minutes ago."
"1h and 12 minutes!? What if he has gotten injured or... or... someone took him... Oh god... Why god..." Tony says and I keep my laughter in. Tony would do the same thing as Peter. I swear, these two will be the death of me...
"You wanna get him?" I ask. Tony looks at me and nods. We head back towards the living room and he takes the elevator up to the roof and I see him fly away towards the city through the window.
About 15 minutes later I see Tony. And in his arms is our favorite vigilante. I guess they landed on the roof because a couple of minutes later, they stepped out of the elevator and the moment Peter came out, the cloak 'attacked' him.
"Woah! Cloak, calm down." Peter says and I walk towards them with a blank face.
"Peter. Where were you?" I ask and he looks a little nervous.
"I was... uhh... with... a... friend..." He says and I give him a 'really?' face. Then I give the cloak a small glare and it knows what it means. It puts Peter down, but of course, it pats his head. That's really cute.
"Hun, don't be too hard on him. He just went out to save the city." Tony says and he puts his arm around Peter's shoulder.
"*Sigh* I swear, you both will be the death of me."
"No hun, that was Dormammu." Tony says jokingly and I am so done.
"Alright, bye bye." I make a portal under Tony and he falls down, sending him to our bedroom. Peter looks a little terrified, but then I close the portal.
"Uhh... will he be okay...?" He ask and I chuckle a little.
"Don't worry Peter. I just teleported him to bed. He needs to sleep. And so do you. Come on. Let's go." I say and we head over to his bedroom. When we enter, he gets into bed and I sit down on the edge.
"Good night Peter." I say and I kiss his forehead.
"Good night." He says with a yawn and I start to make my way out of the room but stop by the door.
"Oh. And Peter. Please tell us next time you're going out. Or don't. It was fun watching Tony freak out." I say and he chuckles a little. Then I close the door and head of to the bedroom.
As I open the door to our bedroom, I see Tony sulking on the bed.
"What's wrong hun?" I ask with a chuckle as I get into bed.
"You know, it isn't really fun falling for... god knows how long. Then landing on the bed." He says fake hurt.
"Well, would you like to land on the floor next time?" I ask with a snicker and he glares at me. "You know what they say. Karma is a bitch."
We laugh a little, then we lay down and fall asleep.

A/N
Hello There... Obi-Wan Kenobi :)
Sorry this took some time (I'm probably going to say that everytime...). But ya know, I got school and shit... Thankfully (not), I'm sick... so I could at least publish a chapter.
Has anyone seen Hannibal (the series)? I've been binge watching it since yesterday and I'm currently on season 1 episode 7. (Please no spoilers!)
And yesterday was 1 year since Stan Lee passed away... :(
May he rest in peace!
That's All For Now Folks!
G'night, G'day and G'morning!
