Not What You'd Expect

Chapter 1 The Visit

Tony sprawled his body across the kitchen island and groaned, he didn't want to pick the kid up! He looked up through his lashes at Steve who was laughing at him. How dare he! Tony jumped up and pointed a finger at Steve, who went wide-eyed at the sudden movement. 

"Hey! Don't you dare or I'll make you come with me!" He declared this with such a grin on his face that when he saw Steve's face go ashen he laughed, he didn't wanna do it either. He lowered his arm and looked at the time before sighing, he has to go now or never. Picking up his coat he tells Steve that he's leaving now and will see him later. 

As he descends in the elevator he thinks about the kid and how he's like, his file said he's 19, poor kid. I walk out to the car and tell Happy where to go, it's a bit of a drive, I mean the kid lives in queens for Christ's sake. 

Happy stops the car jolting Tony out of his thoughts, he releases one last breath before getting out, putting on his sunglasses he goes inside the apartment building. He asks the front desk where to find Peter's room, he goes in that direction only to huff at the fact that there are stairs. He FINALLY got to Peter's floor and door, he knocked on the door in a fast tap-tap-tap, letting his arm fall he thinks, I hope this goes well. 

He waits for a few minutes before knocking again, this time he feels heavy footsteps thumping towards the door. A few locks unlock, the door jingles a little bit then opens, ah did he get the wrong room? The man in front of him is tall, damn near 6'6 tall, he's broad, well-built that's obvious seeing as how he's shirtless in just pajama pants. He has short black hair, bright green eyes, and cheekbones for days. The one thing that stands out the most is the scar cascading down his face, starting at his forehead, going across his right eye, down to his cheek almost like lightning. 

The man clears his throat, Tony jumps causing him to blush, "Is there a Peter Parker living here?" The man looks him up and down before nodding and motioning Tony to come inside. The man closes the door so Tony looks around at the room they're in. It's nice for a one-bedroom apartment, the living room is decorated with a big couch covered in plush green and red pillows with a wooden table in front of it, facing a flat-screen tv. Next to the table is a deep black armchair accented with, it looks like snakes?  The man walks off of the living into the kitchen, which is equally well decorated, the man points at a chair so Tony raises his eyebrow and sits in it. 

The man leans up against the counter opposite Tony, "What do you want with Peter Mr.Stark?" 

The deep voice that he hears for the first time doesn't surprise Tony, it was expected. He always hated the explanation, "And please don't spare any details, I know everything about Peter and you, so" The man makes a waving motion with his hand as if to hurry him up. Oh, he knew everything, did he? It's beside the point Tony won't tell him anything anyway, "I'm not here for you, no offense, I'm here for Peter so I'll tell him, not you." Tony finishes with a smirk on his face, looking over at the man, said man has a crooked smile on his face that made him ten times more attractive than before. 

"Ah well, you see-" The man is cut-off by the bedroom door opening, and out steps the man of the hour, wearing briefs and an oversized shirt. Tony immediately made the connection, ah... he thinks, makes sense. "Hades? What's going on?" Was the first thing Peter said not, 'OhMyGod it's Tony Stark!' 'AHH!' None of that, instead he's cautious, smart kid. 

The man, Peter said his name was Hades? Cool name. He went over to Peter and kissed his forehead, "Goodmorning baby, Mr.Stark wants to talk to you about something." Peter is immediately alert and peering around his shoulder to look at Tony, "that's tony stark!" he whisper-shouted. The man's shoulder shook up and down with a chuckle, he nodded and there were some hushed whispers between them. Peter was suddenly pushed into the kitchen in front of Tony who had amusement in his eyes seeing the interaction. 

"What do you need of me, Mr.Stark?" With Peter now standing in front of him Tony could see him fully, his tousled brown hair, the shirt that is way too big for him exposing a shoulder, the little scars littering his arms and hands, I don't want to take this kid's innocence from him, Tony thinks. He leans back in his chair and looks Peter in the eyes, "We want you to join the Avengers Initiative." 

Peter gasped his hand rushing to cover his mouth, his head whipped to Hades who had a small smile on his face, "What do you think Hades? Should I join?" It was silent for a few seconds before a sigh left the taller male's mouth, "Yes, I think that'll be good for you, and for me, I won't have to worry about your slow ass when we're on patrol anymore", he finished It off with a chuckle. 

"What! I am not slow! It's you! Who is too fast!" The Spider shot back, "Sure, sure, always the same excuse," Peter stuck his tongue out at him for that one. Peter laughs and turns towards Tony who has a shocked look on his face, "I'll join Mr.Stark, what will I have to do?" He looks at both of them before laying it on them, "I need to know the extent of your relationship in the case that your partner needs to be protected. You will also be required to move into the Avengers Tower with the rest of the team." There, he said it. 

"If we move in, can we keep the apartment?" The question was asked by the silent brood, with Tony's nod they release a breath of relief. "Well, we're married, Hades doesn't need to be protected and we'll move in, what's our time limit?" The question flew over Tony's head because THEY'RE MARRIED! He is still in the aftershock, that he doesn't hear them trying to snap him out of it. It takes a poke to his cheek for his mind to clear, "You guys are married?" The two in question nod and hold out their left hands, and sitting there are two gold bands, Peter with the exception of having a rock of an engagement ring sitting atop his wedding band. 

"I see, well why won't he need to be protected I mean sorry for stating the obvious but other than being built like a brick shit house, I don't see how you can protect yourself." This causes the two to laugh at the blunt comment and the question. If nobody already knows or hasn't figured it out, Hades is Hadrian James Potter, Boy-Who-Lived, Master of Death, blah blah blah, so he doesn't need to be protected. But what will our two loves say without giving away Hades's big secret? They might have to, read on to find out.
