*(This entire chapter)

Peter woke up, not really wanting to get up he told Friday to tell Tony he didn't feel good. He pulled out his phone and text May, they had planned for him to go home and watch movies then got to Ben grave for his birthday.

P: Hey May, how are you?

M: Not great, just missing him that's all, you?

P: Miss him like crazy, can't believe it has been this long.

M: Yeah, but he wouldn't want us to stop life for him

P; Yeah I know, I'm heading over in like 30 minutes, just got to get ready

M: Okay, I'm going for a shower, I'll be ready for you. Love you Peter x

P: Love you too May xx

Peter headed for a shower and brought his clothes, he finished quickly and packed a bag of clothes and threw in a packer, binder, jeans, shirt and jumper. He didn't pack his spidey suit cause he told the team he needed a day off from it.

Leaving his room with his bag he walked into the living room and found Tony and Steve talking quietly about a mission when they saw Peter enter Tony looked at him sadly, May had warned him that he would try and act happy but he wasn't. Watching the kid get a drink of milk and make himself toast Tony saw himself on the kid. He lost his father figure at around the same age Tony lost his father.

"Kid come here, please," Tony asked Peter who looked at the two on the couch. Making his way over to them he sat down and looked between the two. Tony watched him sadly, "You wanna talk about it kid?" Peter almost broke down at that, no one asked if He wanted to talk about it, only if May did. Seeing the reaction he got Tony brought the kid into an awkward side hug but Peter fixed that when he hugged back, unable to hold it back he started crying.

He missed Ben so much and Tony knew what it felt like to lose a dad, so did Steve so he patted the boy's shoulder gently. After a good cry for a few moments, Peter moved away and looked at the two.

"Thanks, I just miss him so much, he was the one th-" Peter stopped himself there as Tony didn't know about him being Trans, he wanted to tell Tony because like 3 people have told him about Tony not caring about the community he was part of. Peter had a great plan to tell everyone on the team soon but he couldnt do it today maybe in a few weeks.

"Yeah, I know how it feels to lose someone at your age, But he would want you to live life and not stay upset for him I'm sure," Tony said as he smiled the younger one. Peter nodded and smiled along, the exact same thing May said earlier.

Steve nodded along not really knowing who Peter lost but knowing the pain of losing a loved one.

"Thank you, I'm going back home to be with May today and staying over till tomorrow night so I won't be here," Steve and Tony nodded at this and let the boy stand up.

"You know where we are and if you want you can always come back here with May if it's too hard to deal alone," Tony looked at the small kid, was he smaller? or did he just look a bit ill? Maybe he should get Bruce to check him quickly.

"Yeah thank you guys, I'm gonna go, Mays waiting on me, Bye" Peter grabbed his back and went to the lift, waving a quick bye to the two on the couch, In the elevator, Peter started crying again but hid it really well.

Heading out to the subway he got on and headed out home. Once home he walked in and found May in tears on the couch, she was wearing one of Bens jumpers and hugged their wedding photos. Peter ran to her an hugged her, tears sprouting out his eyes as he looked at the photos.

Putting a movie on in the background they hugged and cried for a while before deciding to go and visit Ben. They grabbed their gifts and cards they had him and headed out to the graveyard. Peter held onto May as they got there.

Sitting down Peter held out the note he had brought along, the last time he had been there was the years anniversary of his death. Peter felt guilty for not coming but May kept saying they had to live their lives.

Dear Uncle Ben,

Hey, it's been a while, hasn't it? Well, that just means a lot has happened. You remember those super powers I had? and how I went out and saved people? yeah, Tony Stark found me and offered me a space on the team!! The Avengers! Like what! Obviously, Aunt May told me to go but she visits a lot, and Ned and MJ have too. You would have loved them, especially Steve, Captain America. He's all for being the best you can and not listening to bullies. And he is going out with Bucky Barnes, who is pretty amazing.

Another thing, I told a few people there about me being trans and they were cool. Nat and Wanda worked it out and asked me about it but they were so nice. Bruce, the doctor, found out after a fight but he was fine with me and I told Steve myself who asked me what it was but was totally fine with it. I have an idea to tell the rest of the group but I need to plan it with a few others. But I'll tell you when I do it. There is so much more to tell you but ill leave it till next time.

Love you, Uncle Ben,

Peter.

As he read over it again Peter brought it close to the candle and dropped it in, he watched as it burned up and looked at the writing on the grave.

Benjamin Parker

Aged 34

Beloved husband, Father, Brother, Uncle and Son

'With great power comes great responsibility'

1981-2015

Tearing up he touched it then stood up, letting May have the time he wandered over to a bench and sat down, out of the corner of his eye he spotted Tony Stark dressed in black carrying a box and card. Walking over to him Tony nodded and stood to watch the boy. Peter now standing in front of Tony nodded slightly in response.

Tony handed Peter the card for him to read and Peter teared up reading it,

Dear Ben,

You raised an amazing kid, Thank you for being there for Peter when we weren't. Although we didn't meet I know the team would have loved you.

Thank you from.

Tony              Clint                           Bruce                            Sam

Natasha      Wanda               Happy                 Rhodey

Steve                        Bucky                      Thor                  Pepper

The entire team signed it and Peter loved it, Carefully pocketing the card Peter hugged Tony who actually hugged back. In the black box, Tony held was a watch engraved with the name Benjamin, The Best Hero.

Peter thanked Tony and walked over to May after saying bye to him, May hugged him and the two-headed home to watch movies. That night the two watched home movies Ben had made and ate ice cream, Peter missed Ben so much but knew he had to keep going in life.
