Just Another Superfamily

2 Dads are better than 1, until 1 Dad is better than none

(A/N: Wow sorry for the long title and for not being active in literal years lmao. Anyway, I just had this idea brewing in my head and I got really bored during school so I put it on paper. I don't have it finished yet so this will story will be in parts.  This first part is really short but hopefully, I'll be able to update slightly more regularly soon. ) 

"Hey, Aunt Tasha..." 

"Is something wrong Peter?" 

"No, not really. Ugh, this is dumb. I should've never called."

"Pete, you know you can always talk to me," Natasha pried. 

"Well, today is the state academic decathlon, but Dad is locked down in his lab again and Ned and MJ are already there..."

"Peter. Are you just asking me for a ride?"

"Yeah... I guess. It's just I kinda thought Dad would want to see me, I thought he might finally care," Peter said, his voice breaking off at the end.

"You know that's unfair, Petey. It's been a hard few months for all of us. But, how about I grab Uncle Clint and we go watch you win this thing?"

Tony groaned as he took his eyes off the piece of machinery and to his phone that had just made a 'ping'. 

We've got Peter @academic decathlon. Time to come out of the lab? 

Tony wanted to see his amazingly genius son. He wanted to see him happy and winning the competition far too easily, but he couldn't. Tony knew the second he stepped out of the lab he would have a glass of whiskey in his hand and then not remember anything. He would wake up only knowing his body was covered in a cold sweat, his face was dry with tears, and his heart was beating far too fast. 

Peter couldn't focus. His head wasn't in the game, and he was about to lose the decathlon for his entire team. He was going to lose for his best friend and his maybe more than friends. He felt a tap on his shoulder, "you ok Peter?  You're looking a little... pale." 

Peter knew the time wasn't right but when was the time ever right? Because then and there, looking at MJ, it felt like such a safe place.

"I feel like when we lost Pops, I lost Dad too. I always thought two dads were better than one, but now I'm not even sure I have one."
