Forgotten and Replaced - Part 1

Harley is in this fanfic. Peter is forgotten. Lots of Angst.

"Hi Mr. Stark, I'm home." Peter called out. He came across the sight of Tony tidying his lab. "What are you doin', Mr. Stark?"

"Hey, kiddo. I've told you to call me Tony." Tony said, distracted. "Harleys coming today. He's staying here remember? In the room across yours."

"Yes, Mr. Stark. I remember." He awkwardly stood at the doorway. "Umm...I'll go work in my lab." 

He was in the middle of creating lightsabers and a revolutionary battery that would be 60% more efficient. He wanted to finish it and show it to Mr. Stark. He hoped it would make him proud.

"Bye," He muttered loud enough for Tony to hear. He got no reply.

As much as Peter wanted to hate Harley, he couldn't. Harley was honestly the smartest, most polite teenager he had ever met. But he had taken away his world.

First Tony started ignoring him, 

"Hey, Mr. Stark. Hey Harley."

"Hi Peter. I'm kinda busy right now." He was talking and fixing his suit with Harley. No 'kid' or 'kiddo'?

"Oh. Ok Mr. Stark" He was waiting for the usual response of, "Call me Tony kid." but it never came. 

Peter left.

_______________

This happened many times. Too many. Tony started calling Harley his 'kid'. Peter was forgotten. Peter was hurt.

________________

Then, the Avengers stopped loving him. His own мама паук forgot him. It hurt more than he would care to admit.

"Hi мама паук, where are you going?" She was slightly dressed up and was disguised.

"Hi Peter, we're going to the movies with Harley."
Ouch, what happened to ребенок паук.

"We're going to see the second part of his favourite movie. The one that came out yesterday."
He flinched slightly. That was his favourite trilogy. He had been rambling about the movie for months. Perhaps he was being selfish.

He waited for his мама паук to invite him. To tell him to get ready. It never came. 

The Avengers knew that he was insecure and needed constant reassurance of their love. They had always given that to him. Until now. 

Natasha just turned around and left. 

She left.

_______________

He sat in his room, ready to come running down to his superfamily once they realised that they were leaving without him. 

With his super hearing, he heard Steve asking if everyone was there. They all replied with a positive. He heard as Steve did a head-count. He heard them enter the elevator. He heard them get in the car. He heard them leave. They left.

They left.

______________

Through first hand experience Peter knew they liked to discuss and make references to the movie afterwards. He refused to let them spoil it for him. He dug out a wad of cash and put on his hoodie. He was going to go and see the movie with or without his super-family.

When he got to the theater, the avengers had already arrived. He bought a ticket and sat down two rows above them. A tear slipped down his face as the movie started. He had wanted to watch the movie with his family.

After the movie ends...

He thought he would have hated the movie without them. He actually enjoyed it a lot. The plot twist was totally unexpected. 

He kept his hood up as the avengers passed him talking and laughing with Harley. He frowned slightly and walked faster.

________________

Peter was there to greet them when they came back. "Hi guys," He greeted them. He was met with an assortment of "Hi". Some straight up ignored him. Harley greeted him with a warm smile and a "Hey Pete." Peter smiled back.

"Soo.." He started, "How was the movie?"

"It was good." Wanda said. "You wouldn't have liked it."

He sent a strained smile their way and left.

He had loved it.

And the worst part? The absolute worst part? 

Harley was the kindest person he had met. Harley, the one who had taken away everything, was his friend.
