THE RED WIDOW// peter parker x reader

TWELVE

May is gonna kill him.
Tony's gonna smack his head, probably.
Ned is gonna be more excited than anything.

Peter was petrified.

He wasn't worried about the pain, he probably won't even feel anything because of his powers. He wasn't worried about it turning ugly. He saw Sam's sketches.
He was worried about how real everything got.
One moment, it's just talking about a mission and a second after he's sitting next to Sam's bed, resting his elbow on a small table while she sterilizes his forearm with a wet cloth.

"I remember when I got my tattoo," Tommy said as she kneeled down to sit on the floor, leaning over to get a better view on sam "I was so scared Sam's gonna screw it up" she joked, getting a nudge from Sam back.

"My baby too talented to fuck up" jojo said proudly, lifting her chin slightly up as she looked at her own arm now, watching her official 'gang' tattoo, that was basically a black spider with an empty body and the letters 'R.W' inside it.

Peter gulped down thickly and licked his lips. "What does that stand for again?" He asked quietly, hoping they couldn't hear his voice cracking slightly.

"Red widows," caleb joined the conversion "we know none of us are literal widows, but it's y/n's tattoos that we kind of stole from her and made it everyone's thing" he nodded slightly before getting a sharp pinch from his girlfriend before she leaned and whisperes something in his ear. Peter assumed that caleb should've stayed quiet because he quickly turned pale and cleared his throat. "You did not hear what I said."

Peter clenched his jaw and took in a deep breath when he felt the needle on his skin, and like he assumed, he felt absolutely no pain. It even tickled him a bit. He immediately felt his shoulder relax, but his mind kept running.

He's officially part of a gang.
THE gang.

But only when sam was halfway done with the tattoo, he realized what caleb said.
Red widow.
He knew about black widows, obviously, Natasha being one, but he never knew about Red widows, nor was that a thing.
We're they the same just in red? Does Natasha know about them? She must know you then, no?

Were you a red widow?

Whatever it meant peter was smart enough to understand that he's in a bigger hole than he thought he was, and if anyone accidentally assumed this mission is going to be easy and quick, it just keeps getting more and more complicated.

Peter's life were very boring to say the least. Of course, he enjoyed the company of the new friends he unpurposely made, and you woke him up everyday at 6 am for training to make sure he won't rest for a second. But it's different. He's so used to going out every night, saving people, fighting bad guys, talking to Ned and MJ..
God he missed it.
He wished he could go back. 

While peter was busy in his thoughts, sam was finishing up his tattoo, wrapping petets arm with wrapping paper before flicking his ear, making him jump slightly "all done mutant"

Yeah that's also a new thing.
Some of the guys started to call him that since he's not entirely human.
Fun.

While everyone were busy with peter, you took some time for yourself, running over some last details of the mission you have next week. Rechecking with Joan, your 'inside guy' well, girl.
Joan has been helping you since you're giving her a not so shameful cut from what you're hoping to make, but since she's trustable you don't mind giving her more than she deserves.

The plan wasn't anything new to you.
There's a big engagement party for one of the richest people in New York, and like the last party you attended to, you're going to follow the same plan.
You and Noah as the entertainment, Josh was the charming bell boy that was set to makeout with the future bride who has a suspicious past of affairs to make a distraction while sam and caleb will pretend to be waiters. Jojo will be in charge on the lights to make sure to dramatically turn them off so noah, sam and caleb could snatch anything they can into the car and replace it with extra cheap duplicates you'll bring along with you, and for the unfortunate people who won't win a duplicate, you'll leave a thank you card, from the ghost of course, to make sure they know who they mess with.
Easy bissy.
Sure, they can all recognize you from past parties, but thanks to Tommy's and Noah's makeup skills, you'll all look like completely different people.

*** meanwhile in the Avengers compound***

To say that Tony was stressed out of his mind would be an understatement.
Since Tony first met peter, he was always involved. Whether it was making his suit, tracking him 24/7 or helping him with school work and coming over for dinners at his place.

And now. For the first time in four years, Tony had no idea what's going on with Peter's life.
And the fact that May was nagging him for Information all day everyday wasn't really helping.

"You said it would take a few weeks maximum! You can't tell me you're leaving a child without knowing where he is and if-"

Tony quickly waved off May with one of his hands while the other is pinching his nose slightly. He needed to take a deep deep breath before he talks or else...
"Listen, I know you're worried about your kid, and I understand. But I know as much as you do and it's only been two weeks. I trust Peter and i know he's not fooling around with a bunch of criminals."

May almost ripped her own hair as she walked around the office, turning around herself now in frustration "Oh mio Dio, che uomo stupido, a dirmi di non preoccuparmi per il figlio di mia sorella. il mio bambino. Stupido moccioso! Voglio strangolarlo e uccidere lui e tutti e due!"

Well if Tony didn't know he's fucked before, he definitely knows now that May started speaking Italian. He looked over at happy desperately, asking him to get in between and save his life from a worrying woman who would rip them both lime by limb just out of stress.
Happy, who was even more afraid than all, considering he had to deal with most of the consequences, cleared his throat and reached out to May, playing his hand of her shoulder gently "Listen, I know you're worried but you know peter, he's such a good kid and-"

"YEAH HES JUST A KID" May yelled and slapped happy's hand away from her, grumbling again now "none of you understand. And I know he needs to do it but it's the longest time we've been apart since..-" May dropped down on a chair, holding her head in her hands as her voice trailed off.
Both Tony and Happy knew what she's referring to.
Since Thanos, since they lost Vision and Loki, eveyone were all shocked and careful.
And even when Tony knew he understood more than anyone else, that Peter was like a son to him and he worried just as much, he stayed quiet and gave May some space to let it all out.

"I can't promise you anything about Peter, but what I can promise is that we're ready to jump in at any moment."
