As the "Dynamic Six" suited up and finalized their plan, the thrill of mischief hung in the air. Their prank was simple, but with Tony's tech and Steve's heightened instincts, pulling it off would take precise timing and flawless teamwork.

The main idea? Tinker with Tony's hologram tech and modify F.R.I.D.A.Y. to play a series of ridiculous, distracting pranks, all while ensuring Tony and Steve stayed occupied with false alerts.

Once in position, Peter whispered into his communicator, “Alright, Team Mayhem, here’s the sequence. MJ and I will lure them into the conference room. Wade, you trigger the holograms. Harley, get ready to engage F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s ‘prank mode.’ And Morgan? You’re on stealth mode, cueing each distraction.”

They moved like clockwork. As Peter and MJ strolled into the conference room, they found Tony and Steve mid-discussion about a new security update. Peter casually leaned against the table, raising his voice with a smirk, “Hey, we thought you two could use a break.”

Suddenly, the first hologram burst to life, floating between Tony and Steve—a very exaggerated caricature of Tony in a lab coat, wearing bunny ears.

“What the—” Tony blurted, already frowning at the playful intrusion.

“Aw, c’mon, Tony. It’s a good look on you!” Peter said with a grin.

Steve held back a chuckle as the next distraction kicked in. F.R.I.D.A.Y. began playing "Baby Shark" over the speakers, a playful nod to Morgan’s nickname. “Oh, they’re gonna pay for this,” Tony muttered.

Meanwhile, Wade’s holograms went wild, filling the room with bouncing digital farm animals and supervillain disguises. Amidst the chaos, Morgan and Harley sneaked to Tony’s workstation, swapping his security alerts with automated messages that read, ‘Dad, you look great in pink!’

By the time Tony realized what was happening, it was too late. With a burst of laughter, the Dynamic Six dashed out, their prank a resounding success.

Tony and Steve exchanged glances, a mix of disbelief and grudging admiration as they watched the gang bolt from the conference room. Tony crossed his arms, trying to look stern, but the faintest hint of a smirk betrayed his amusement.

“Alright, they got us this time,” he admitted, glancing at Steve. “But you know we’re not letting them get away with it, right?”

Steve chuckled, giving a small nod. “Agreed. Let’s teach these troublemakers that payback’s part of the package.”

Meanwhile, the Dynamic Six huddled in the game room, their faces flushed with the thrill of success. Harley tossed high-fives all around. “Did you see Tony’s face? That was priceless!”

“Absolutely legendary!” Wade added, grinning ear-to-ear. “Best prank ever.”

MJ, however, raised a brow as her laughter simmered down. “You all do realize they’re going to retaliate, right?”

Peter shrugged, smiling mischievously. “Let them try. We’re ready for anything.”

Just as he finished speaking, F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s voice echoed throughout the game room, her tone a tad too cheerful. “Peter Parker, Morgan Stark, and associates, Mr. Stark has a message for you: Payback is inevitable.”

They froze, sharing a look of mutual dread and excitement. Harley was the first to recover, smirking. “Bring it on, F.R.I.D.A.Y.! We’re just getting started.”

But as the group celebrated their victory, the room suddenly went dark, and the familiar hum of Tony’s tech sounded through hidden speakers. The screens around them lit up with Tony’s face, grinning like a villain in a classic movie.

“Oh no,” Ned whispered, eyes wide. “We’re in trouble, aren’t we?”

Tony’s voice filled the room, dripping with mock seriousness. “Did you really think you could prank the Iron Man and get away with it? Meet me in the conference room—all of you. And don’t even think about hiding. F.R.I.D.A.Y.’s tracking every single one of you.”

Peter glanced around, trying to gauge the group’s reaction. Half of them looked ready to bolt, while the others seemed intrigued, almost daring Tony to bring on the consequences.

“Alright, Team Mayhem,” Peter said, standing up with his usual bravado. “Let’s go face the music.”

They entered the conference room, where Tony and Steve stood waiting, arms crossed and looking the picture of authority—until Peter noticed a gleam of mischief in their eyes.

“First off,” Tony began, raising an eyebrow, “I’m impressed. Hacking F.R.I.D.A.Y. and the holograms? Not bad for a bunch of kids.”

Morgan grinned. “So… are we in trouble, or are you impressed?”

Steve exchanged a knowing look with Tony. “Both,” he replied. “But mostly impressed. Still, there’s a lesson to be learned here.”

“Yeah,” Tony added with a smirk. “Never prank a prankster without expecting something in return.”

Before the group could react, the doors locked behind them, and F.R.I.D.A.Y. dimmed the lights again. A series of colorful spotlights swirled around the room, illuminating the gang in embarrassing cartoonish hues. Then, from the speakers, came a chorus of their voices, edited and looped to form a ridiculous song about their “great heist” and “undying love for pranks.”

Peter groaned, covering his face. “Did you record us?”

“Let’s just say I’m always prepared for a little… entertainment,” Tony said, clearly enjoying every moment of their embarrassment.

The group couldn’t help but laugh, half in embarrassment, half in admiration. The prank wars, they all realized, were far from over. And in that moment, surrounded by their makeshift family, Peter felt a warmth he hadn’t felt in ages. They weren’t just friends; they were partners in crime, laughter, and love, sharing moments of mischief and joy that they’d carry forever.
