The Horrible, No Good, Very Bad, Avenger Clad Field Trip

Pepper Knows

Tony Stark walked purposefully toward his office, striding confidently (as one who is a genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist would) while furiously typing on his stark phone. 

"My love?" Pepper said, catching a glimpse of him stalking the halls as she was talking with an employee. Unfortunately for her, Tony did not hear her. Upon this realization, Pepper quickly ended her conversation with the employee and rushed after her husband knowing how he can get when he is in one of these moods. 

"No, I want this kid to weep with fear. I want to see his face melt--" Tony was saying just as Pepper entered the room. 

"Excuse me?!" Pepper shrieked upon hearing what her supposedly kind-hearted, child-loving husband was spewing from his mouth. 

Tony stopped talking immediately, looked over at her, and sighed. Now he would have to tell his wife what that delinquent boy was saying to and about their son. Her precious, kind, loving, and joy to be around son that they spent all these years trying to ensure that he was never given any hardships, that he was safe, and that he had a normal life so that they could protect him from every possible threat. And yet no matter how much they tried and prepared and fought, they would never have been able to foresee this and they never knew because Peter kept it quiet all these years from not only May but from them as well. 

"Uhhh...Pep...there is something that I need to tell you." Tony said, breathing deeply and leaning up against the large window in his office. 

"Tony, you're scaring me."

"Don't freak out but there is something that I need to tell you about Peter."

"Okay, why would I freak out?" Pepper demanded, cocking her head to the side and placing a hand on her hip, glaring at him through slits for eyes. 

Tony took another deep breath, steadied himself, and began the story about what he just witnessed. As he told the story, Pepper slowly descended into a chair and listened to what he said rampantly. She quickly became more and more irate about it all and was trying to take deep breaths to calm herself. 

"So, what you're telling me is that our son, our sweet, innocent, kind son is being bullied by this Flash kid?" 

"Yes, and evidently it has--"

"Don't you tell me that it's been going on more than two weeks!" Pepper snapped at him.

"Honey, I'm so sorry but it's been going on for years now."

Pepper stood up, pulled her hair up into a tight bun, spun on her feet, and started marching out of the office. "Right, we'll see how much longer this goes on for." She said as she whipped open the door to his office. 

"No, Pep don't embarrass him!" Tony called out, chasing after her.

Pepper however was running quickly as she decided to kick off her Louis Vuitton heels and unfortunately for her, her skin was burning so intensely from the left over Extremis in Pepper's system her tights were starting to melt off her skin. 

Tony took one look at her, blanched, and started running full speed after her. "Pepper!! Pep! Stop!! Wait!"

Pepper spun around on her heels and snapped, "What?!" 

"You can't run off after this kid! He is a highschooler! And you're literally on fire right now." Tony said gesturing to Pepper's body as it was still inflamed and was still melting clothing off of her body. 

"Well, so what if he's a freaking minor?! He decided to mess with my child! He made the adult decision to hurt our son, ANTHONY!"

"I'm well aware! You heard what I was saying on the phone when you entered the office but, after explaining things to you I became calmer and more in touch with my emotions. I started to breathe and I used you to ground me."

"I don't want to be grounded! I want to hurt the piece of crap that hurt my son!" Pepper said, the intensity of her clothing melting switched to burning with pieces falling to the ground like embers. 

"I know, my love. I know." Tony said, reaching a hand out to her. Pepper started to calm down and breathed deeply in. "Tony, I just get so over protective of Peter..." "I know, my dear."

They both started to regulate each other, breathed deeply in and out, and both of them returned slowly to Tony's office where they began their more legal, and of course, flamboyant revenge on Flash possible.

"But you don't understand, Ned. I can literally feel the rage that is rolling off of my mother right now." Peter said distressed. 

"I get that, I do by honestly what is your mother going to let your father do that is illegal in any form?" Ned countered pointedly.

"You're right, you're right. I know that they won't go over the law or anything since not only is my Mother there but also my dad can't be that stupid considering the literal empire he built. I'm just worried since they're pissed off beyond belief."

"Yeah, I get that, Spiderling." MJ said, rubbing the back of Peter's hand. 

"Well, I'm just going to have to see how this goes, I'm just scared to see what they could possibly have in store for not only Flash but for me as well." Peter sighed, dropping his head down. 

MJ and Ned shared a knowing look and both sighed together as they comforted their best friend. It truly was a rock and a hard place that Pete was stuck between. 

"We're here for you, and we're going to see how this pans out together. However, we do just want to let you know that if it's funny we're gonna have FRIDAY ensure that their is some kind of video on file for not only our viewing pleasure but also yours." MJ smirked. 

Peter glared at MJ and said "Well, looks like my life is just some kind of comedy show to you two, huh?"

MJ and Ned laughed hard and soon Peter joined in with them. Come what may they had each other and of course, the Avengers had them too.
