What if, Tony dusted instead

The next day we started Training Nick decided it would be a good idea to get a head count on fighters, and New Asgard started training as well as Wakanda. The UN pitched the idea but they had some things to work through. Pepper was taking a day off for her doctor's appointment, which Rhodey went with her for moral support. So that left me, Bruce, Yelena, Jane, Thor, Loki, Nick, and Clint. We decided that it would be best to take a week per person to learn each other's fighting tactics, and become better all around that way. Nick trained Abe, the Betty's, Hank, Selvig, and Darcy since they as of right now wouldn't be in the main fight. Through training I noticed the eyes Jane and Thor kept giving each other so I did what any normal person would do. During break he sat with Darcy and Loki and pointed it out, The two shared a knowing smile and made plans to set them back up. Of course Peter didn't help. After training Peter went to shower before heading to his personal lab, Abe went down to the normal lab to work on Clint's arrows under Hank. Betty joined Peter She ran him through some of the web ideas she made him and added he thanked her as they sat talking. He realized that he was starting to feel emotions for her so he said screw it and made a move. She smiled gently as he asked her on a date she said yes. So they were talking about different things. He found out that they both hated peppermint, and olives but they both enjoyed nature, and that she loved Dark chocolate covered Strawberries. She learned he preferred a more neutral taste since his taste buds sometimes over react. Soon Loki joined the grinning as he said "Thor and Jane are dating again!" As they laughed about what happened apparently Jane saved Thor from a rather large spider that came from nowhere. Soon they went to bed. Loki still slept on the couch in Peter's room incase he had a nightmare which happened often, Clint slept in the vent above Peter bed for extra security, all of them knowing they knew he was there, Peter just let them Clint because if he didn't his failure to protect his own kids would bother him to much and Loki because he was like an older brother as was Thor.

A few weeks later Peter and Betty sat curled up on the couch eating some fruit watch Brooklyn 99, Their date went amazing and they we're full on dating now. Training was going great. The wizard said the stones should be ready in around 5 months. Pepper joined them for their lazy day today. Everyone worked non stop The UN final agreed to put their differences aside and show Earth had a united front, each government we're sent a basic design for a spaceship, not Peters he made a new basic one so the could upgrade it how they wanted as most Governments made some kind of space force the started making space crafts. The other branches help out and train. The avengers we're closer than ever. They never needed a team bonding day like the old avengers did. Betty Ross decided to help Pepper with SI, with being pregnant, She was thankful for it. Betty and Bruce started talking again after Loki and Darcy played matchmaker for them as well. With the other scientist a lot of weight came off Peter's shoulders, but they still filled him in on what they do, like reporting to him, he didn't know how to feel about that.

The next day, Peter walked into the shared lab and pulled out his sketchbook. He woke up with a new idea, pulling up the schematics for the compound he started redrawing it. As others entered doing small things around him soon they realized he was invested in whatever he was doing so Hank asked him what that was Peter finally looked up and said "Well, we've been so focused on offense, that I realized this building need some defense, what if they break past our front line and come after the people Here?" As everyone made their way to Peter to look at his sketches Friday pulled it up on a hologram, soon the scientist sat around discussing different ways to protect the building, since it already had shutters that come down making it like a bunker, Peter added roughly 12 machine operated guns on the roof, that could be manually ran from the lab. Jane pitched the idea of adding a few missile launchers which everyone agreed to, so they decided four was enough for that, Hank said they could add an electric fence of sorts surrounding the building, Bruce figured out a way to be able to change the setting in case it wasn't high enough to begin with. Soon they had new defensive systems, so they got to work making them, Selvig and Jane worked on the missile launchers, while Hank and Abe worked on the electric currents, Peter and Bruce worked on the machine gun turrets, while Betty and Clint came up with a more, less lethal, defense mechanism. They pretty much made a protocol, called 'the home alone' protocol, when activated things like running water, oil on the floor, thumb tacks shooting out, floor to the face, would happen to anyone that does not have permission to be inside the building. Loki helped Peter, while Thor helped Jane. Soon they had to attend training, weeks went by as they all worked on their projects and trained.
