Family as tough as Iron

Chapter 29 School Drop-off

"Are you sure about this, Morgan?" Peter asked, "Wouldn't that raise suspicion?"

"Why?" Morgan asked, taking a bite of her omelet. "Isn't it about time the world found out about you?"

"She's right, Pete." May sighs, "People should know about the firstborn of Tony Stark."

"Maybe?" Peter took a sip of his cappuccino and stood up, "Anyway, you'll be late, let's go!"

"Shoot!" Morgan exclaimed as she stood up, placed her dish in the dishwasher, and called out, "Friday! Start the dishwasher for a plate, a fork, and a cup. Thanks!"

"Right away, Morgan." the ai replied as the machine started washing the dishes.

"Thanks, mom!" both Peter and Morgan called out as they rushed towards the door.

May leans toward the table, "Feels nice, doesn't it?"

Pepper's grin formed unconsciously on her face, "Huh?"

"Peter calling you, mom?" May clarifies, "It feels nice."

Pepper nods, but then a feeling of guilt washes over her, "Sorry."

"Don't be," May reassures, "you are his mom."

Meanwhile, Peter drove into a driveway where Tess waited for them frowning. "Finally!" she exasperated as she entered the car, "I see you're still employed." she sneered at Peter.

Peter ignores her; Morgan, on the other hand, starts, "What the fuck is your problem?! Do you think it's cool to disrespect people?!"

"I..." Tess stutters, not use to Morgan standing up for herself, much less other people. "He's just the help." Tess smugly retorted.

"He is not the help," Morgan explained, "he is my brother. Even he wasn't he deserves respect! You know what? You can walk."

"What?" Tess questioned.

"Get your privilege ass out of this car and walk to school!" Morgan shoved Tess out of the car.

At the school drop-off, Peter turns around to talk to Morgan, "You didn't have to do that, I could have handled it."

"I know," Morgan responded, "but you don't have to."
