"the avengers want me?" i asked in shock. aunt may looked at me with a smile and wide eyes. tony was sitting next to her, also smiling at me.

"yes. you'll see may for a couple hours after school and then stay with us at night and on the weekends. if she wants to workout days to spend with you on the weekends i'd be happy to arrange that whenever she pleases." tony said smiling.

"may, you're ok with this? i don't wanna leave you alone." i said to her, which was me trying to say 'i don't know how to survive without you this is a horrible idea'.

"peter, i think this is good for you! you need some time away from me to learn how to deal with everything by yourself." she said, insisting i go and take the offer.

"ok, i'll go." i said.

"perfect! i already have a room ready for you, just pack some clothes to keep there and i'll be waiting outside." tony said, standing up and walking around to me.

"wait, im coming now?"

"yup. don't take long, kid."

"o-ok mr.stark." i said. he left and it was just me and may.

i walked to my room and may followed.

"i can't do this. what if they figure out im, you know, not what they think? i've never even put in my testosterone without you."

she sat down on my small twin sized bed and i sat next to her.

"peter. you'll be fine without me. besides, you need to learn how to do all this stuff without me." she said.

"i guess you're right. i should get to packing, mr.stark can be a little impatient." i said. may smiled and rubbed my shoulder before exiting the room

i shoved some clothes into a duffel bag along with my other binder and my testosterone. i left my room and hugged may goodbye before going downstairs and getting in the car with mr.stark.

"ready kid?" he asked.

"ready as i'll ever be, i guess."

we got back to the facility and tony lead me to my room. in it there was a full sized bed, a dresser, and a desk with a computer on it. there were two doors in the room besides the one to get in and out.

"that leads to your bathroom," he said, pointing to one of the doors. he pointed to the other and said, "that one leads to your closet."

i have a walk in closet? this is more than i could expect. then again, i am staying with tony stark

there was also a full length mirror on the wall, which i kinda wish wasn't there.

"i'll let you get settled in. come downstairs when you're done, its game night." mr.stark said, leaving the room right after.

i unzipped my bag and put my clothes and such away. then i put my other binder under my bed to ensure no one would find it. i walked into the bathroom and put my syringe and testosterone in the cabinet behind the mirror over the sink.

after i put everything into the right place, i decided to get comfy. i took off my pants and put on some sweats. then i took off my shirt and put a bigger and baggier one on over my binder.

i didn't feel comfortable taking off my binder around them yet. they didn't know i was trans and if they figured it out because they saw a little extra stuff on my chest, i don't think i could ever overcome something as humiliating as that.

i left my room and walked around until i found where the others were sat around on a couch, two chairs, and crisscrossed on a carpet, surrounding a coffee table with two closed board games on it.

"oh, hey kid." tony said as i walked in. there was a small spot next to clint on the floor that i sat in.

"everybody, this is peter. aka, spiderman." he said.

"hi." i said awkwardly, putting my hand up as a small wave hello. why do people trust me is social situations?

"i saw what you did to that vulture guy, you're pretty good." bruce said.

"yeah, but how old are you? you look a little young to have done that." wanda asked. they all looked at me with sheer curiosity.

"i'm 16." i said, again, awkwardly. they looked surprised.

"thats some pretty intense stuff for a 16 year old." steve said.

"zip it, grandpa. new kid chooses the game." natasha said.

on the table lied two games: monopoly and clue.

"um... clue." i said, pointing to the game. vision leaned over and took monopoly off the table while clint set up clue.

i guess it wasn't too bad here.
