Unexpected

Everyone's on good terms!

Peter smiled happily as he finished his spider bot. "Mr. Stark I think I did it!" Peter jumped up and down.

Tony looked at him with a 'so show me.' look on his face. "Karen. Turn in the spider bot." Peter said and the little bug turned on. And Peter could only stare in amazement.

It worked.

It worked!

It worked!

"It's on!" He laughed and threw his fist in the air.

"Impressive kid." Tony said and patted Peters back.

Peter smiled at him and Tony couldn't help but smile back. Gods. That kid is gonna be his ruin. The way he looked up at Tony with such affection and excitement. Every time made his heart melt a little more.

Peter, ever since the vulture incident, has become a much more significant part of his life. Peter was so smart. And brave. And incredibly funny. So sarcastic that it made Tony hurt. Tony. The king of sarcasm.

Anyway. Peter would now, when not patrolling or schooling, spend time in Tony's lab with him. Whether he was tinkering or directly helping Tony he was always a joy to have around.

Ever since Peter had entered Tony's life, Tony's life took a turn for the better. Tony had suddenly stopped drinking. Well not entirely, but mostly. He now drank just as much as normal people. Maybe two or three a week.

Tony also was much more responsible. Which scared the hell out of the rouge Avengers when they came back, about a week ago. He now thought things out and was much more logical.

Tony had planned on having Peter over that day and that night introduced him professionally to the Avengers. But that plan was squashed when half of the team couldn't show up.

Only the original Avengers could come. And as much as he liked them, he wanted to introduce Peter to them all.

Peter was so nervous. He was going to meet the Avengers. The official Avengers.

Well, like half of them. But still! That's amazing. Peter had already met Black Widow... but only briefly. Before they went into battle, but still they had met. And that made him feel slightly better.

Yes, he was about meeting Clint, and Steve, and Thor. But he was most excited about meeting Bruce Banner.

Bruce Banner. The man that got him into science. Peter had been a fan of Banner before he even became the hulk.

"Sir? Mr. Bratson, Ms. Romanof, Dr. Banner, and Captain Rogers have all arrived. Shall I let them into the penthouse?" FRIDAY asked.

Peter felt his stomach drop. He could hear Mr. Stark's faint, "Yes let them in. And tell them to get comfy."

"Kid you ready?" Tony asked Peter, who looked on the verge of hyperventilating.

"What if they don't like me?" He blurted out.

"I'm sure they'll adore you kid. Especially Bruce." Tony said pulling Peter out of the lab.
