Rouges and coffee

(Peter is adopted by Tony and I slightly mixed up the timeline cause I did. That's not a good reason but it's what happened. Also, TW, there is a small mention of rape near the end. Nothing graphic and I hated doing it, but I also felt it nessicary as part of Peter's story)

The rouge Avengers came back to the tower, Steve mad because Tony was in a meeting, to see a boy with curly brown hair in the living room.

Sam snorted, "Why'd Tony let a kid up here?"

Steve sneered, "Probably from a one-night stand. Too scared to come meet us himself."

Now that set Peter off, who had recently been adopted by Stark after May's passing. He grabbed a cup in front of him that was filled to the brim with excessively sugared coffee, and downed it all, glaring at Steve. "You know nothing about my father." He began to slightly twitch but nobody noticed.

Scott pushed from behind, "So he was right. Where's your mom? Shouldn't you stay with her?" He wasn't being mean, just concerned about how bad of a rolemodel Tony would be on the child.

Sam pushed to the front as well, "He's right. What's a kid like you even doing here? This is the Avengers business."

The twitching became more noticeable, Wanda's eyes widened and stepped into the kitchen away from Peter. She recongnized a sugar high when she saw one, and this child is mad. Nat saw the same, and went with Wanda, helping herself to an apple on the table. The other rouges had no idea however, and continued to throw sneers and (small) insults at Tony.

"Face it kid." Steve said, "You don't know him near as well as you think you do, the drunkard."

Peter snapped, "OH I DON'T KNOW HIM?" He screamed, "I KNOW YOU LEFT HIM TO DIE IN SIBERIA. I KNOW YOU TOSSED YOUR SHEILD INTO THE ONLY THING KEEPING HIM ALIVE." His eyes turned black and two more formed small beside them. He continued, "I WAS THERE FOR THE PANIC ATTACKS, AND HE STOPPED DRINKING MONTHS AGO, MONTHS BEFORE HE ADOPTED ME, MONTHS BEFORE HE CHOSE TO COMFORT ME AND SAVE ME FROM THE SYSTEM WHEN MY AUNT DIED! YOU'RE THE ONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW ANY DAM THING ABOUT HIM!" He ended his sentence with a screech and four spider legs emerged from his back and fangs erupted from his mouth, occasionally dripping venom.

The rouges all screamed and Peter threw Steve against the wall, "DEMON CHILD! DEMON CHILD!" Yelped Scott, who made multiple and various ants arrive to help him.

Peter just cackled in a demonic voice, "FEAST MY CHILDREN!" Spiders flocked from vents and doorways, lacing webs everywhere to catch the unsuspecting ants. Steve tried to stand up, only to be webbed against the wall. In turn all the Avengers began to be strung against the wall.

Sam tried to run, only to have a spider-child jump on his back and sink his fangs into his exposed arm, paralyzing him. Peter tossed Sam up with the others, except Wanda and Nat who were still safe in the kitchen.

He re-webbed all the rouges (except the aforementioned Wanda and Nat) and just then Tony walked in. "what the..?" he looked around and his gaze fell on Peter, "Oh," he said, "That makes sense. Peter please put them down."

Peter clicked sadly and nuzzled against Tony, before shooting light blue webs that dissolved the others on contact. His extra eyes and legs disappeared and he fell asleep on the floor, curled into a small ball looking peaceful.

Tony picked him up and walked over to the nearest chair, sitting down with Peter curled on his lap. All the others slowly walked over sitting on either the couch or another chair, Wanda and Nat emerging from the kitchen throwing away apple cores and a banana peel.

"WHAT THE HE-" Clint started, only to be cut off from a glare from Tony, who glanced down at the sleeping spider-child. He quieted down, "What the hell just happened?!" he whispered.

Tony sighed, "It's time you all knew since your living here. This is Peter Parker, now Peter Stark after his aunt died and I adopted him. He is spiderman, and what you just witnessed is why he isn't given coffee. Or extreme amounts of sugar when he gets angry."

This was met with an explosion of disbelieving yells. Peter tensed and Tony noticed, clasping his hands over Peter's ears. "Shut up!" He whisper-yelled and they all quieted down, "His senses are all heightened, you'll wake him up and give him a headache!"

Now Steve began to whisper-yell, stressing every syllable, "I threw an airport terminal on a CHILD. A CHILD STARK. What were you thinking bringing him into battle."

Tony sighed, "I'll admit it was shameful, but he was doing the whole Spider-Man gig long before I even met him. He is not a child soldier," he gave a pointed look at Nat and Wanda who both sighed in relief, "but he is a hero. He's proved that many times, I just gave him a suit to help keep him safe. He didn't even have to join us in that battle, could've stayed out of it like the other vigilantes,  but he did. He decided to join. I care a lot about the kid, he is the sweetest most kindhearted ball of joy you'll ever meet."

They all raised an eyebrow at this, remembering the previous events.

Tony continued quietly, "He just gets defensive easily, and now has trust issues. His girlfriend's  dad turned out to be a villain and a man he trusted did." He shivered, remembering what he was told, "Did the most horrible things to him. He can't bare to lose anyone else either."

Nat leaned forward, a concerned look breaking through her stony face, "What kind of things? Who did he lose?"

Tony sighed, "His whole family. He watched his parent's plane went down when he was about five, then about...I think it was two years ago? He watched his uncle get shot, and die in his arms. They had a big arguement earlier that day and his uncle told him, 'with great power comes great responsibility' it's the reason he became a hero in the first place." Tony sadly ran a hand through his son's curls. "His aunt got sick, really sick with cancer, and he was by her bedside when she died a few months ago. As for who did things to him." He took a sharp breath and drank some water.

He looked down, "Excuse me a moment." He left and put Peter in his room, taking off his shoes and kissing his forehead as his son snuggled under the covers. He walked back to the commons and sat down, "Skip Westcott." He stated, "He befriended Peter at a library, and eventually became his babysitter. He was nice, until they were alone" he clutched his pants with his fists, "they would play "games" and he would rape Peter, do other horrible and inappropriate things. I think Peter tried to tell someone once, but they brushed it off saying he was too sweet to do such a thing. It wasn't actually reported until he was either caught in the act or I think by cameras. I think he was either 8 or 6 when it started, and actually went on for a few years. He would always call Peter 'Einstein' and now that's a one of his triggers for PTSD."

He collapsed against the back of the chair, mentally exhausted, and heard Nat growl and take out a knife, "That won't do any good." He said, "I already downgraded him to rotting in the raft. Turns out he did it to other children too, not just Peter."

Bucky spoke up for the first time since he got there, "I feel bad for the kid. Nobody deserves to go through any much less all of that, and based off a few small bruises on his arms and chin, he's bullied at school too." All of the rouges nodded in agreement, and Tony started, the walked over to phone the school, remembering faint complaints of an idiot named Eugene 'Flash' Thompson.

That day, all the rouges made a silent pact to protect Peter at all costs.
