A Second Family

-Chapter 15-

  EDITED
A few days later, while Peter was trapped in school, Tony Stark drove up to the hospital. It was time for May to be released from the hospital and Peter was ecstatic, but alas, he had to learn. It had been decided that May would stay with all of the Avengers as well, actually, there wasn't much of a question about it. Since Peter and May still had no where to stay by themselves, what was the harm in having one more stay in the gigantic place?

  Even though things seemed to be quite normal now for everyone for a few days, Peter hadn't been feeling so good...

...

...he still was in pain from the sequel to Spider-Man being crushed by a building, despite his miraculous healing ability. There was a nasty bruise coloring the skin over the right half of his ribs that refused to go away.

  Why the kid hasn't told anyone? Well that's an easy question with a more complicated answer.

  Everyday, Peter Parker would come to the compound from school to find the Avengers all overly joyous. There was absolutely nothing wrong with that, Peter just never wanted to ruin that with his problem.

  A huge weight was lifted off the Avengers when Alicia Vanette, the girl whom was taken prisoner only days ago, was taken into custody of S.H.I.E.L.D. when they somehow found out like they always do. Yet, none of them could uncover the identity of Spider-Man.

  Anyways, as Peter was making his way down the hall by himself, he was suddenly knocked into the lockers that lined the hallway, followed by everyone's favorite, Flash Thompson, laughing at his small victory. Sure, after the bully's previous beating outside of school, no other fist fights had occurred between the two, but the teasing never stopped.

  Peter felt eyes on him as he winced, pushing himself off the lockers and picked up the few things he had dropped in the collision. All he wanted to do was leave, not have his somewhat good mood ruined by an idiot like Flash.

  When the kid finally made it to his locker to put his stuff away to go home, he heard someone say his name. When he turned around he saw Michelle Jones, or MJ as she liked to be called. "Nice job defending yourself back there," she snickered. "You really showed him!"

  Instead of responding, Parker just turned his attention back to his belongings with an eye roll as MJ went on to mock someone else.

Peter slug his backpack over his shoulder as he exited the school and approached Happy and the car he was driving. The kid lazily slung his bag onto the back seat and plopped himself down next to it. "Bad day?" Happy glanced back at Parker before starting the car again.

"I've had worse," he shrugged. Peter wasn't in the mood for talking. He just wanted the get home and sleep on his oh so comfy bed. But May was more than likely already at the tower, so that was something to look forward to.

The kid rested his head on the window and closed his eyes as the car drove through the city.

He didn't open his eyes again until he heard, "Peter, Peter hunny, are you okay?" He lazily sat up and looked around the car, and looking through the open window at the kid, was his Aunt May, finally home from the hospital.

  "May!" He reached through the small car window and pulled his Aunt into a hug. "I'm so happy you're here!"

  "Me too Peter!" She tugged open the car door to let the boy out. "Tony Stark said that I could wait down here for you to get home, you must've had a very eventful day at school if it caused you to fall asleep in the car."

  They walked into the building, and as they did, May tried really hard to pretend that she didn't notice the large gape in the floor, surrounded by caution tape.

  "Yeah I guess you could say that," Peter shrugged, once again, tiredly. "I guess it's been a busy couple of months while you were away."

  "Well I'm back now," she smiled at her nephew and put her arm around his shoulder. "And I promise I'm not going anywhere anytime soon!"
