-Hello stranger.




Steve smiled, and looked up at Tony, who sat next to him on the park bench.


"Hey, how are you?" He asked, adjusting his sunglasses.







Before Steve could continue, Tony's phone rang, and he looked at the screen in confusion, then surprise.



—It's... from  PETER's school...






...

Peter turned to look nervously at his parents when both of them, looking serious, entered the principal's office.



"Mr. Rogers, Mr. Stark, thank you for coming." The woman said while Steve and Tony sat on either side of Peter in front of the director's desk.




—Pete! But what happened to you?! Tony exclaimed, gasping as he took Peter's face in his arms, seeing that he had a black eye. Peter tried to look away.



—Who did this to you?!—Steve exclaimed angrily as he quickly got up from the chair, and saw the director, who seemed nervous to see the patient and kind Captain America so angry.



-It doesn't matter. Please, let's just go...—Peter murmured noticeably saddened.





—Who did this to my son?!—Tony exclaimed, angry. —I demand that they be expelled!



The director cleared her throat.


—Mr. Stark, Mr. Rogers, I assure you that the young men Peter fought with are receiving the necessary punishment. They have been suspended for five days. But the reason I wanted to talk to you is because I'm afraid Peter will have to be suspended as well.


Steve and Tony gasped helplessly, and looked at Peter, who pulled the drawstrings on the hood of his sweatshirt to hide his face and hugged his legs to his chest.



"Why?" Tony growled. "My son is the one with a black eye!" Because none of those kids have a scratch!



"Why are they suspending Peter too?" Steve asked, sounding a little calmer, but still looking angry, with his arms crossed and his eyes cold.

—Because when I came to stop the fight between Peter and the other young people he was hitting one of them.—The director responded firmly.


—It was self-defense! "Right, Pete?" Tony looked at Peter, who didn't respond, still hiding behind his hood.



—I'm sorry, Mr. Stark and Mr. Rogers, but there are also several students who claim that it was Peter who started the fight.


Steve and Tony looked genuinely surprised, and looked at Peter and couldn't help but feel disappointed.



The parents finished speaking with the principal and left the office. Outside Steve, Tony and Peter, the latter still with his hood up and keeping his eyes down while pressing an ice pack against his eye,picking up morgan who was sitting waiting for them.




they walked through the hallways of the school so they could leave, noticing the students who were peeking out from the classrooms looking at the two heroes in amazement. When the family got into Steve's car, Tony took off his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "Look, Petey, we're not mad at you..."



"Just... surprised..." Steve sighed. "Just... tell us: how did it start?"



—They... called me by  names... and they didn't stop insulting me...



Steve and Tony looked at each other worriedly, and turned to look at Peter.




—Pete, we know it's been difficult , but... we've taught you not to listen to others. What they say doesn't matter...



—We are your family, we love you and support you, and that is the important thing...



—But it wasn't just that they insulted me ...—Peter seemed on the verge of tears.—They started insulting you both...

Steve and Tony looked surprised. The two men sighed.


"It's okay, Pete," Tony assured him. "We're not mad at you..."


"But we still have to punish you for getting into a fight," Steve said firmly but compassionately. Peter sighed.


-I understand...



"Hey..." Tony showed them a smile. "What if I see if  we all go out for ice cream?"


Steve and Peter smiled THE DIFFERENCE THAT PETER WAS ONLY SMILING A BIT WHILE ESTEVE WAS SMILING NORMALLY



"Should you really come with us?" He asked with crossed arms. Peter flinched, Steve and Tony looked at him in surprise.




—your dad and sister are part of the family.



Tony smiled, his eyes shining, looking at Steve.
