An-Nick introduces Peter to the team for fun (Peter's fifteen, no spiderman)

---------------

"Why did you go to the dentist again?" Nick's voice filtered into the meeting room through the closed door, they all cocked an eyebrow when Nick opened the door for a teenage boy, who was holding a stack of papers in his hands, waving them animatedly.

"I got a new wire on my braces, it's thicker than the last one." The boy said, he had a slight lisp, mostly caused by his braces, which had bright red bands on them. He had curly brown hair falling over his forehead, and he was in baggy jeans and an oversize jumper.

"How long do you have them on for again?" Nick asked, closing the door behind them.

"Only a couple more months." The boy shrugged, riffling through his stack of papers for something.

"You excited to get them off?" Nick said with a smirk, Peter nodded excitedly.

"You have no idea, I can't wait, literally. I'm so sick of Flash making fun of my lisp." Peter said, looking back up at Nick, who was leaning on the closed door.

"I keep telling you I'm happy to take care of that Flash kid," Fury said, Peter rolled his eyes.

"And I keep telling you I can handle it," Peter said, pulling out one of the papers.

"Pete, he broke your nose. I'm fine with hiding from May, god knows that woman's scary when she's angry, but I'm not gonna let it slid if it happens again." Fury said, Peter rolled his eyes again and finally turned toward the team, freezing instantly. His stack of papers fell from his hands, flying around the room. He blinked briefly, before blushing darkly.

"Aw man, my drafts." He muttered, bending down to pick them up and put them back in order, Natasha bent down to pick up a couple of the papers. Peter blinked when she went to hand them to him but quickly blinked away his shock, "Thanks, Miss Romanoff." He muttered, taking the papers. He stood back up and pressed the papers to his chest, staring at them. Fury was laughing up a storm behind him.

"You okay Pete?" Fury asked. Peter nodded weakly.

"I have to tell Ned about this." Peter breathed. This made the team break into laugher at his face, "Wow, I'm, I'm Peter B Parker." He said, recovering from his shock and smiling brightly, they all basically melted at the sight, he was adorable.

"Well hi, Peter, what's the B for?" Clint asked, Peter blushed, he should really stop saying that, but if the person was right they caught the reference.

"Benjamin, I was named after my gramps and my uncle," Peter said.

"Which part?" Pietro asked, leaning forward over the table.

"Peter's my gramps, Benjamin's my uncle," Peter said tensely, holding his papers tighter to his chest. Fury stepped forward, clapping Peter on the upper back, making him jolt slightly.

"Peter here is my godson, he lives with me but visits his aunt every second weekend." He said, shaking Peter slightly. The team nodded, curious about who Peter was.

"What're the papers for?" Bruce asked, Peter almost fainted when he saw him, he decided to keep his fanboy tendencies to himself.

"Oh um draft papers for an essay competition. I'm applying early to MIT." He said nervously, he'd only really talked about it with Nick, who was practically his dad.

"Cool! What's the theme this year?" Tony said finally interested in this kid. Peter's eyes lit up, Nick was sick of his essay and no one else except Ned wanted to hear it.

"A protest or march that has changed the course of your history." Peter said, pausing briefly to find the criteria, "I had to write about something that had it not happened would have changed my life. I chose the Stonewall riots." Peter said, handing Tony to criteria.

"You're like twelve, why the hell are you writing about Stonewall," Sam said, making Peter blush darkly.

"I'm fifteen actually, and um, well you see I'm kind of gay?" He said, his palms sweating profusely.

"Got a boyfriend?" Wanda asked teasingly, Peter paled slightly.

"Maybe." He said, blush creeping down his neck. Fury laughed at his face, slapping him on the back repeatedly.

"Of course he does, was his best friend for years before Peter made a move." Fury said. Peter blushed darker, blinking rapidly.

"Shut up Nicky." Peter seethed.

"What? You were hilarious, you had been pinning for him since you were twelve." Fury said, Peter frowned at him.

"What was I supposed to do, he was my best friend since I was five," Peter said, narrowing his eyes.

"I dunno maybe be more smooth." Fury said, making Peter scowl.

"Please, please tell me how you found out," Bucky begged, he was enjoying teasing Peter.

"I walked in on them making out in Peter's room." Fury said, making several gagging noises, Peter hit him over the head with the stack of papers.

"Nicky!" He shouted. Fury continued laughing.

"You couldn't hurt me if you tired kid." Fury cackled, Peter narrowed his eyes.

"I so could, I've been doing jujitsu since I was five," Peter growled.

"Sorry to interrupt, but why are you introducing us to Peter? Not that he's not interesting or anything, I'm just confused." Sam said.

"Peter has a tendency to sneak into places he shouldn't. I had no doubt he'd accidentally make his way into the common rooms. He got grounded a couple of months ago because he dropped out of the ceiling into a confidential SHIELD meeting. And he got grounded before that because he hacked into SHIELD. And before that, because he managed to get into FRIDAY and-" Peter cut him off with a hand covering his mouth.

"So you're the one who changed all of our names!" Tony said, pointing an accusing finger at Peter, who nodded sheepishly. They all smiled when the StarWars theme started blaring out of Peter's phone. Peter smiled wide and quickly shoved the papers into Fury's chest to pull his phone out of his pocket.

"It's Ned! I'm gonna go outside for a minute." Peter said, already picking up the call and walking out of the room, "Neddie, Baby, Honey, you are never going to believe who I just met!" He said excitedly as he closed the door, they faintly heard him talking outside of the room.

"Don't feel insulted, that boyfriend of his comes above anything and everything. He's loved you guys since he was like five." Fury said, "The real reason I wanted to introduce you guys is that Peter's been having trouble with a couple of kids in his class since he came out. It's not right that he's been getting picked on because he's gay. He deserves to love who he wants.

"I promised his parents I'd keep him safe, all I want is for you guys to have a nice friendly chat with the kid and his parents." Fury said. The team instantly leaned forward, in the few minutes they'd known Peter they were already attached. How could you not be? He was like an adorable puppy, braces just added to it.

"We'd be happy to," Bucky said, cracking his knuckles.

"I'll wire in the information, but don't tell Pete, he's too good to everyone. Won't even let me email the school." Fury said, he turned when Peter slammed open the door.

"Dad! There's a new exhibit at the science museum! Can I go with Ned on the weekend?" He asked, using his famous puppy dog eyes.

"Fine, but no funny business." Fury said, if he was honest he melted every time Peter called him that, he barely ever did.

"I promise! I owe you one!" Peter said picking back up his papers and making to leave the room again.

"Where are you going?" Tony said, he wanted to ask the kid more about MIT.

"To get flowers! He got them for me last time we went out." Peter said, running out of the room.

"How often do they go out?" Natasha said, eyebrow raised. Fury rolled his eyes in exasperation.

"Basically every weekend." He grumbled, "Don't worry, the shock will set in that he met the Avengers and he'll send me a flood of texts." As if on cue his phone started dinging.

The team snickered as the messages kept flooding in, he kept sending several crying cat memes. The team were laughing as he kept questioning his sanity.

"This kid is great Nick." Clint snickered.

"Wait, you let him call you Nicky?!" Tony exclaimed. Fury just narrowed his eyes at him.

"If you tell anyone, they'll never believe you."
