Hey everyone! So yesterday my parents went to a store and got a load of chocolate.

So quickly, what's your opinion on mint chocolate?

Enjoy!

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

The 'proposition' was a large joke that Harley wanted to pull on the Avengers.

Also, the kid's name was Harley. From Tennessee and Tony apparently did break into his garage. The prank was Harley wanted to pretend they were cousins.

They gave each other their number and made contact pictures. He had, what he guessed, a picture of Harley maybe 2 or 3 years younger and he had Aunt May send him a picture of him in middle school.

"We should find one of those tourist spots and get those ridiculous matching wristbands." Harley laughed.

An idea popped up. He had a matching wrist band with Harry before Ned and when Harry left, he gave the wrist band to him because Harry was afraid something would happen to it.

Now that he looks back, he thinks Harry knew his father would get rid of it. It just had the letter of their first name.

P and H

He could use that and say the H is for Harley.

"I got the perfect old wristbands; it'll have the worn-out look." He said and Harley perked up.

"This will be so good." Harley said and he swung to his apartment quick. He texted Harley a picture of them and he got a thumbs up back.

He got back and handed it to Harley.

"Don't. lose.it." He warned Harley. This was one of the few things he had of Harry's, and he'll be damned if this kid loses it. Harley nodded and took the wristband and put it on with care.

"It'll be hard to make them believe us without pictures" Harley brought up. He started thinking when he decided to ask Karen.

"Hey Karen, how good are you at photoshop?" He asked a little humor in his voice

"Flawlessly" Karen responded confidently. He laughed.

"You got any pictures?" He asked looking at Harley. Harley pulled out his phone and scrolled and he did the same. They picked three pictures and chose two of Harley's backgrounds. Places in Tennessee like the Great Smokey Mountains. And one background of New York.

He sent the photos to his computer at home and Karen got to work.

"So why did you decide to do this?" he asked

"I felt like I should spice the visit up. Shake up the old man a bit." Harley laughed.

"So, are they waiting at the airport?" He asked.

"Yeah, I should get there before the supposed flight I'm on lands." Harley got up and went to the fire escape.

"I can swing you halfway there." He offered. Harley grinned.

Now Harley was on his back shouting as they fell again.

"Holy shit how do you do this!" Harley shouted with excitement and fear for his life.

"Swing or die I guess; I need it during battles." he explained. Use the webs or probably die.

He got Harley closer, but he couldn't go too far as the buildings slowly decreased in height. Can't really swing.

"You need to get to the tower now. Can't wait to 'meet' you" Harley said getting an Uber.

"You saved me 10 bucks." Harley laughed.

He started swinging to the tower. He did stop a mugging but otherwise nothing big happened.

He got into his room and waited. He was antsy and nervous. What if he couldn't stop smiling.

His phone buzzed. He picked it up and saw a text

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Harles

I mentioned I should visit my cousin while I'm in NYC.

PeterPumpkinEater

Nice

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ok he'll admit Harley's nickname is 100 times better. But he didn't have time to come up with a good one, he was swinging to the tower while Harley was in an uber.

"Hey Karen, do you have the pictures?" He asked and Karen sent him the photos. And as Karen said. Her work was flawless. She even made the background grainier to match the quality of their photos.

He was smiling to himself thinking about it.

Friday then informed him of the Avenger's arrival.

Here it goes.

He waited to be called.

"Boss is requesting you." Friday alerted him. He nodded and started walking to the main area.

"Peter?" Harley faked ignorance.

"The person I want you to meet." He heard Tony's voice.

He turned the corner and then put up his act.

"Harley? Harley!" He said and rushed to Harley.

"What're you doing here?" He asked focusing on Harley or else he'd probably break the act.

"I could ask the same thing! So what, was this a prank? Find my cousin?" Harley laughed looking around. He spared a glance around to see the others shocked.

"You're.. cousins?" Tony asked looking in between the two.

"Yeah, my father, the one who left was Peter's father's cousin. We're second cousins but we just say cousins." Harley explained. Tony's forehead creased.

"We visited the Great Rocky Mountains together like 3 years ago." Harley pulled out his phone and opened his gallery.

"Holy shit" Tony whispered.

"Language" Steve whispered.

Harley then scrolled to the other photo. The New York one. Statue of Liberty.

"This is when I visited him here for the first time." Harley smiled. Then Harley suddenly turned to him.

"Hey, do you have the wristband?" And Harley lifted his sleeve to show Harry's wristband. He widened his eyes.

"Yeah! I usually keep it in my schoolbag." He said and rushed to his room. He could hear the avengers talking with Harley.

"You two are related?? Why didn't you mention you had a cousin??" Tony asked.

"I didn't tell you my grandparents why should I tell you my family tree" Harley joked.

"I can't fucking believe it." Clint laughed.

"Language." Steve said.

"Here's another photo of us in Tennessee." Harley showed them the last photo.

He was laughing quietly as he retrieved the band. He regained his composure before he came back.

"Got it!" He said and showed the matching bands. And that must've sealed the deal because all of them noticed the initials on the bands.

But now he thought, how long would they keep this up.

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

So... I'm unsure of this chapter. Seems a bit preposterous. But then again this is a world with aliens gods and superheroes so pretending to be cousins isn't insane.

But anyhow I hope you all Enjoyed and thanks for reading!
