"Did Peter tell you he's bringing a friend over?" Steve asked Tony as Steve washed some dishes in the kitchen. Tony was watching as he had some robot arms hanging some tinsel in spots he couldn't reach.
"Uh, no?" He said, making a shrugging motion as he almost spilt his drink he held.
"Is that even allowed?" Bruce asked from the table holding a newspaper. "I mean Peter's just a kid, meaning this kid is probably just a kid too."
"I talked to him about it the other day." Steve said.
"Well I didn't hear anything about it." Tony said
"About what?" Natasha had now joined in on the conversation. Just walking into the kitchen and grabbing a small tub on ice cream.
"I let Peter bring his friend over. And it really means a lot to him, so this is happening." Steve said, now facing everyone else instead of having his back turned to them. "Peter said that the kid had been through some stuff, wouldn't specify what though."
"I have no problem with it. As long as I don't have to get an extra present." Tony said
Steve didn't actually think of that. He had no clue if he should get the boy a present. He figured it'd be okay, seeing as they barely knew the boy.
"Or as long as he isn't some secret kid spy or some shit." Natasha added.
"Please be nice to him." Steve said, crossing his arms and giving his 'I'm not mad I'm just disappointed' face. Meaning shit is serious.
"Of course. We'll be good." Natasha smirked. Thinking it was funny Steve thought she'd actually be cruel to a teenager.

Aiden had browsed multiple shops by three o'clock. He didn't know why finding a present would be this difficult. But he wanted it to be something special.
He did find a police radio, which he thought could help Peter on his patrols of the city.
He wondered what Peter got him for his present. If it was personal, or just something Peter thought Aiden would like.
He tossed thoughtful out the window as he was running out of time.
After about an hour more of searching he'd found a Star Wars dvd box set. In order, which he knew is the way he lived by watching it. It was some kind of special edition, the art on the cover being silver. The picture that shown the over discs were silver, with cover art contributing to the movie. It even said it came with a poster.
Aiden paid, using the money John and Rebecca gave him. Which was true this time, he didn't steal. Something he'd shown he wasn't above doing. But he was turning a new leaf.
"That'll be 25.99, please." The old cashier lady said politely.
Aiden smiled, hand her the cash he had.
