Avengers: Infinity War - Fan Fic (Peter Parker's Perspective) Vol. 2

Happy Birthday

May gave him a weak smile.

'Do you want to see what everyone got you?' Natasha asked, breaking the silence. 

'Ok' Peter nodded. 

Natasha went over to the pile of presents and picked up a present wrapped with blue wrapping paper, and a red bow. 

Peter laughed to himself, 'Spider-Man colours' he mumbled to himself. May smiled at the comment.

He carefully unwrapped the box, to reveal a small metal cube. It had a spider emblem on the top. 'Press it' Natasha said.

He hesitantly pressed the spider emblem. He watched as a hologram formed above it. It was a mini hologram of Tony. 'Happy Birthday kid. We're going to battle tomorrow, and I just wanted to say Happy 18th Birthday incase I -uh- I don't make it. I am so proud of you, more than you know. I don't know what's going to happen out there, but just know I'm there with you...'

'...To the end of the line' Steve cut off, as his hologram finished forming. He put his arm around Tony, 'We're with you 'till the end of the line. You had more guts then any of us at your age.' Tony nodded. 'Happy Birthday Peter!' Tony said with a gentle smile, 'Happy Birthday Peter' Steve also said smiling. 'Also. Press the little spider emblem again for your gift.'

Tears were in Peter's eyes. ''til the end of the line' he mumbled to himself. He pressed the emblem again and the cube opened to reveal car keys. Peter sat in shock. 'He didn't...' Peter said looking at May. 'He did' she replied with a smile. 'He went to the dealer and said 'Only the best of the best for my kid''

'Wait! You knew?!' 

'I'm not the only one that can keep secrets' she said with a wink.

Peter looked at the cube, his face filled with pure joy. 

'Me next' May said as she went over to to the table and picked up a white box. 

'You were holding that box that night. That's why you were out' Peter said, realising why the box looked somewhat familiar. 

'Yes. Except, that box was empty. I was on my way to get your gift, that's what that guy threatened me with the gun. But not now. Open it. You're going to like it'

'You really didn't have to get me anything May...' he said as he carefully opened the lid. When he saw what was inside, he dropped the box on the bed. Tears poured down his face, 'Y-You didn't. Is it r-really it? T-T-Thank you so much May' he said giving her a tight hug. 

'Yes it is Peter. Your Dad said that he'd give it to you when you turned 18. He isn't here anymore, so I did'

Inside the box was what looked to be an expensive watch, but that wasn't what Peter loved about it. It was the same watch that his dad was wearing in the picture Peter had in his room. His only family picture, of 4 year old Peter Parker smiling as his Mum and Dad gave a big family group hug. 

'Try it on' May encouraged.

Peter wiped away his tears, and reached inside the box. The watch fit perfectly. 'Your parent would have been so proud of the man you have become' May said as she kissed Peter's forehead. 

Peter continued to unwrap everyone's gifts. 'Group photo!' Wanda shouted as she held up he phone using her powers, so they could all get in. 'Say cheese!'

They ended up having a great day, with other Avengers also arriving to celebrate. After a while, Peter realised Richard was gone, but he saw Michael. 'Hey! Michael!' Michael turned around, 'Why don't you call your brother?' 

'Oh-he is- uh- performing surgery at the moment'.

'Oh ok.' Peter said, but he was suspicious. Now that he thought about it, he never saw Michael and Richard in the same room, but he just shrugged it off. 

Later that day, Peter was discharged. His incredibly fast healing usually made hospital quite a quick trip, except when he was in a coma. As he was walking out he heard someone call him. It was MJ. 'Hey Peter! I heard your feeling better, look I'm so sorry with what happened, James said Richard put you in an induced coma! He was charged today.' 

'What do you mean Richard was charged?'

'After what he did, I thought especially you would agree' 

'MJ. James put me in the induced coma, not Richard.'

'Wait what?!' MJ said alarmed.

'Yeah'

'Peter. James was discharged from the police station. He's with a patient right now! Your old room'

'How did he get discharged?!' Peter said both shocked and confused. 

'He cleared his name, his alibi checked out. No one else was in the room, except him and you at the time'

'There was someone else' Peter said 

'What do you mean? Who?'

'Karen. The AI in my suit. She recorded the whole thing, from the nano-bots' charging station.'

Michelle was in shock, 'Why would he do this?'

'He thought if I was asleep I wouldn't be able to steal you from him. But not right now...' he turned to May, 'I guess I'm going to be in this hospital a little longer' he said. She nodded, hearing the whole conversation. 

Looking around he saw no public, he took of his jacket and tapped the spider emblem on his chest twice. The iron spider suit quickly formed around his body. 'Peter! You're Sp-'

'You were going to find out eventually!' he called, cutting her off as he swung in a hurry to his old room.
