WARNINGS: Slight Violence

Klaus painted quietly outside. The world around him turned into white noise as he focused on the strokes of his brush.


"Mr. Klaus?"


Klaus lifted his eyes to Peter Parker.


"What are you doing here, Peter," Klaus asked, dropping his eyes back to his painting.


"I was hoping you could point me to Stiles? I heard he was coming to visit his siblings," Peter said.


"Inside..."


Klaus glanced over at Peter, examining his project over his shoulder.


"You are really good at this," Peter awed, "I like the different shades of blue."


Klaus smiled at the compliments. Every time he thinks he's done mentally adopting random kids another one comes. Curse his humanity!


"I meant to ask you a while ago. Can I get a picture of you and the family," Peter asked.


"I cannot take pictures, child. It would defeat the whole purpose of hiding my age..."


"Oh, I wasn't going to share it. I have pictures of all my friends and family," Peter corrected.


Friends? Klaus paused as he felt his heart melt. This has to be a secret superpower of his! Or maybe a manipulation tactic!


"Also I keep my photos protected. They'd have to go through a lot of security to get them," Peter smiled.


Peter recalled the password to his safe being 'IronmanSon' but chose to keep that to himself.


"I would have to think about it," Klaus said softly.


"Well when you decide, let me know," Peter said, walking into the Abattoir.


Klaus turned back to his painting and decided to take a break. He could use a snack anyway.


Peter found Dante first. He was currently sitting on the couch, reading while speaking with Rebekah.


"Mr. Demon," Peter said, having never received Dante's actual name.


"Yes, Spider-Child," Dante responded.


"Have you seen Stiles," Peter asked.


"He walked to a nearby store with his siblings," Dante said.


"Thanks."


Peter made his way to the store. Maybe he should've asked which one before walking off.
