Pepper picked up Peter from school that day and drove him home. He told her all about his new friends Michelle, who told him to call her MJ and Ned. He didn't tell her about Flash, but it wasn't so bad, at least not as bad as the first day thought Peter. That's why he didn't tell her.

When they reached the Avengers floor, the doors opened to see the Avengers sprawled out watching TV, again. 'Hi' smiled Peter. 'Hey Peter,' 'hi Pete,' 'How was school?'.

'Nice work on that press conference Stark.'

'Thanks Peter.' Was heard through the speaker.

'Where is he?' Asked Pepper to the group.

'Building something.' Said a distracted Clint, in the middle of the 3rd episode of Sherlock.

Pepper just rolled her eyes and left.

While talking to Ned, his new best friend, a very pressing issue can to light.

'It's nearing the end of October.' Said Peter, trying to get a response out of the group.

'And?' Asked Steve, who pretended not to be completely glued to the telly.

'That means that a very special day is coming near!'

'You already had your birthday Peter.' Said Bruce.

'It's nearly Halloween! It's only 2 weeks away and I don't have a costume!'

'Ohh.' Said all the Avengers. They had never really celebrated Halloween. For the last 3 years of Peter's life, they carved one pumpkin, put face paint on Peter and sent him knocking on all the Avengers bedroom doors.

'Can we not do what we do every year?' Asked Steve. After the destruction of SHEILD, he had a lot on his hands.

'No! I mean, can Ned come?'

This had been a question that had stuck to Steve these last few days. As Peter gained friends, he would want them back to the house, and then they would know. It's not like the kid was a safety hazard. He just didn't want Peter to be bombarded at school.

So Steve just stayed silent.

Uncle Clint then rose to the table. 'Ok kid, you are going to have the best Halloween anyone has ever had ok?'

Peter nodded excitedly

'Since we leave smack bang in the middle of New York, there is no real housing places here to Trick or Treat to, so we will do what we did previously and knock on doors.'

Peter's smile drooped a bit.

'But Don't worry, because we will have all, and I mean all the decorations, as well as enough sweets to fill your bedroom!'

Peter's eyes just stared at Clint in awe and wonder.

'And you can have all your friends over! And we will bring all your aunts and uncles! And we will all dress up.'

Peter was now excitedly switching from one foot to another. This sounded awesome.

'Pete.' Said a concerned Steve, getting up and resting a hand on Peter's shoulder, 'how many friends are we talking about?'

'Oh, just Ned and MJ.'

'Sounds good.' Steve had to take a deep breath trying to mentally prepare himself. 'Clint, take the reins.'

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Steve had not mentally prepared himself enough.

The Tower, both outside and in, was now decked with Orange, black, green and purple. Bruce swore a whole pumpkin patch was spaced between the corridors, balcony and living room. Witches, bats, vampires. You name it, Clint and Peter had bought it. The skeleton in the corridor had jump scared everyone, except Natasha, multiple times. Everyone asked for Natasha's secret, her only response, 'when you've had Clint as your partner for this long, nothing shocks you.'
