"Look at all these chickens-OW! TESSA NO-NO BITING YOU LITTLE SHIT." I yelp when she nipped at my ankle once more.
"Tessa!"I hear Tony laugh and get on the ceiling."That hurts Tessa!" I say she barks at me. I walk to the living room and drop to the floor.
"So Peter is allowed to climb on the ceiling but I can't walk through doors.
"He's not invading anyone's privacy that's why "Pepper says in a teasing tone.
"I suppose. Peter are you excited about school?"I shake my head. I barely started talking to Ned and Mj again yesterday. Thankfully we're pretty understanding, I haven't told them what's going on yet. The only person my age I've talked to was Adrian he was freed on Sunday. Tessa runs over to the couch I'm on. "you stay away you blue gremlin."
"I thought she was grey?"Tony says
"No, her coat is called blue."I pick her upsetting her on my lap. "No biting."She gives me a small growl. this little asshole.
"So Pete, "Pepper says I turn my attention to her. "I and Tony have something to talk to you about." They exchange a look.
"What's up?" Clint grins at Tony and walks out.
"So how do you like living here?"Tony asks. Oh we're having that talk...are they kicking me out? Maybe I overstayed. They've done so much I can't even get mad.
"It is great. I appreciate everything you guys have done." Pepper smiles.
"Of course bud. But um you know you've been under our care a little over a month now. And social services were wondering what we wanted to do with you." I feel my heart drop."All honesty Pete I don't want you to go. We all love having you here."Tony says. Holy shit.
"And this is completely up to you Peter, "Pepper says handing me some papers. I skim through and quickly see their adoption Papers.
Dudeholyshit!"So your not kicking me out?"I say my eyes are heating up now.
"Kick you out? Bud, I don't even like it when you leave for a grocery trip I don't wanna kick you out."I smile."And this has nothing to do with spider-man because I don't like the superhero life it makes me nervous. We want you as in Peter Parker."
Pepper says."What do you say kiddo?"
"Y-yes," I say trying not to cry. Tony smiles and I hug him, Pepper then hugs me.
