"We're out of miiiiiiilk!" Peter called into the apartment.

There was an annoyed grumble from the bathroom followed by, "Anything else or just milk!?".

Peter did a once-over through the pantry and the fridge before yelling back "Bread, eggs, flour and sugar, I'd like more juice, and I think we're out of laundry sauce!".

"Of fucking what?" May called back as the bathroom door opened and she walked out and made her way to the kitchen to meet Peter.

"Oop- I meant laundry detergent and softener." Peter said with a goofy grin.

May rolled her eyes at him "I'll never understand your generation.". She smiled, ruffled his hair, and grabbed her keys from the counter. "Ready?".

"Only if you are." Peter said as he opened the door for May.

May and Peter were halfway to Wal-Mart when May asked "Does Tony need anything?".

"What?"

"Tony. Does he need anything? Y'know, 'Mr. Stark'?" She said and took her eyes off the road for a second to look at Peter as if her intentions were clear.

"I know who he is, why are you asking me if he needs anything? Why are you asking if he needs anything at all?" Peter asked, finding no reason for her question.

"Well, he's always helping us. I mean he did buy you a whole new room after all. Getting his groceries would be the least I could do." She said with a shrug, turning into the Wal-Mart parking lot.

Peter blinked. She was right. Tony does do a lot for them. "I'll text him.".

By the time Peter and May got into the store, Tony replied:

From: Tiny Stork
|Omw|

Peter stopped dead in his tracks in the middle of the aisle, eyes glued to his screen, mouth open, questions circling. "What." He said out loud.

He looked up at May, who was putting boxes of cereal into the shopping cart, and said "Honey you've got a big storm comin'".

May turned to Peter with confusion clear on her face, "What?".

"Tony's coming."

"What?"

"He just texted me 'omw'."

Before May could say anything Peter got another text from Tony.

From: Tiny Stork
|Im here|

From: You
|how did you get here so fats?|
From: You

"Kid, I'm Ironman.".

Peter jumped at the sudden voice behind him, but recognised it as Tony's so he turned around to say something but May beat him to it .

"Y'know, I was tryna do something nice for you. You didn't have to come all this way.".

Tony smiled and walked around Peter to stand with May. "I appreciate that May, but I can't stand the thought of you running around doing things that, well, not to sound like a rich asshole, but, that I have people for.".

Peter walked up to Tony and May, he looked Tony directly in the eyes and said "I know you Mr. Stark." Peter puased ti swallow the lump in this throat. "Who else did you bring?".
