Today is the reunion of sorts for the Avengers and friends. This includes the Guardians, Wakandans, and a few extras. The party's being hosted at Tony's lake house, per Satine's request, just so they could all be by the water, instead of being stuck in the same room the whole time.

Satine and Peter decided to drive separately from the other groups, even though they were offered a spot in Nat's car. They just wanted to make sure they were able to leave earlier or later than the rest based on how they're feeling by the end of the night.

The pair is there before the rest, just so she can snatch up Morgan before Nat or Wanda find her. Meanwhile, Peter goes inside to see if Tony needs help setting anything up or just to socialize with him. Though, he doesn't need anything from him, so they both decide to head out back instead.

"When did Morgan become the one you run to, instead of me?" Tony jokes and Satine slowly smiles as Peter scoffs.

"As soon as she was born." He complains and she chuckles teasingly.

"Hi, Dad." She puts her arm out for a tight side-hug.

"Hey, Hun." He presses a kiss to the top of her hat. "What're you doing with this?" He furrows his brows and tries to turn the hat around and she backs away.

"No, it's a flatbill, those look stupid facing forward." She quickly fixes it and he rolls his eyes.

"They look stupid anyway." He walks away and she smiles.

"Go get him." She sets Morgan down. "He's an issue."

She hurries towards him with a giggle and Satine pushes her hands in her back pockets and steps closer to Peter before she turns to look at him as he looks her up and down.

"Peter." She chuckles in disbelief and he looks her in the eyes with an agape smile and deep breath.

"Why can't I look at you?" He shakes his head.

"You keep looking at me like that, like you have for the past few weeks, you're going to get caught and they are going to tear you apart." She gently cups his cheeks with a firmer, but humored voice. "They will kill you, Малыш." She nods softer. "And I'll laugh." She shrugs innocently and he throws his arms.

"I can't believe you." He nods and she puts her hands out in surrender.

"Look, Love, I'm on your side." She turns around to walk away with a nod and he follows. "I always will be, but you have to understand..." She reaches behind her and he grabs her hips for her to hold his hands in place. "I like a good laugh."

"Right." He grins and she turns her head slightly to look at him, smiling, before she turns forward again.

"Always on your side."

"Okay, Малыш, there's no way." Satine shakes her head and hand with an agape smirk.

"I'm serious." Peter chuckles from where he sits right by her, though she stays standing with a few others.

"I don't believe you." She nods surely and he laughs a bit with the rest.

"Why would I lie about this?" He shakes his head with his hand up and a small laugh.

"Because he's not that --" She starts before Tony walks up and she immediately turns around. "Dad, did you seriously call him 'Underoos' when you introduced him to them?" She motions.

"Yeah." He nods once and her jaw falls slightly with wide eyes.

"I told you." Peter chuckles brightly and she turns to him.

"Why have I never been told this before?"

"It's a little embarrassing." He nods and she tilts her head.

"Come on, we've been through embarrassing before." She shrugs. "You know? Like that time --"

"Hey, hey, look." He stands with a fake chuckle and points forward and she slowly smiles. "Look who's here, you like them, right?" He shrugs and she turns before gasping a bit.

"Oh, I do like them." She hurries towards the Guardians spaceship.

"No, no, no, I wanna hear what she has to say." Sam complains panickingly.

"What was she going to say?" Nat challenges with a slow smirk.

"I don't know, but I don't trust her." Peter sits back down, making them all smile.

Satine makes it to the steps as Nebula trudges past her with Drax and Mantis following some ways behind. She waits patiently for Rocket and Groot to pass by before Quill comes down too.

"Hey, Mr. Star Lord." She smiles softly with her hands together in front of her.

"Hey, Spider Girl." He grins before she pulls him down into a gentle hug.

"How have you been doing for the past five years?" She rubs his back as they let go and she holds his arms instead.

"Well, I'm not seeing any of her dopple gangers anymore." He states with a fake hopeful cheer in her voice and her brows wrinkle.

"One step at a time, right?" She pouts a smile.

"Right." He nods.

"Good." She lets go of him. "We have a lot of alcohol over there, if you want some of that." She motions.

"You're a good friend." He pats her shoulder and walks directly towards it, making her slowly smile.

She shakes her head with a sigh and heads back to Peter to take a seat on his lap. He wraps his arm around her to hold her hip and pulls her closer by her thigh.

She goes to cross her legs before her attention is caught by a shuffle from not too far away. Rocket takes off towards his ship, laughing maniacally as he grips Bucky's vibrainium arm in his hold.

"Son of a --" He grits and goes to run after him with Sam.

This is just before a sudden web attaches to Rockets suit and pulls him back through the dirt and grass, roaring, until he stops in place. Bucky comes up and snatches the arm from him as he stays groaning on the ground and swings it back in place.

"Thanks." He nods upwards.

Satine hums with a small grin and sits back against Peter's shoulder, while he, with his head on her chest, holds back a laugh, because he knows, no matter how funny she may think it was, Satine won't approve this time.

Satine and Peter made it back home just a few minutes ago and have already reached their bedroom, where she heads to the closet.

"Hey." She leans her hands on the dresser with a lip-biting grin. "You want to shower together?" She asks and he chuckles.

"Sure." He nods definitely, making her smile before she hurries around him.

He looks back at her as she quickly pulls off her shirt and drops it on the floor. He slowly smirks a smile as his eyes trail along her half-bare body before he rolls around the frame and closes the door behind him.
