You Can Let Go Now Daddy

Halloween

A/N: Do you guys like that I do it in one shots of random snapshots in their life? I think it makes it seem a whole lot more cute.
I'm going to update once or twice every month because school is annoying. But I hope you all enjoy this and I hope you all are just as excited for Halloween as I am.

Halloween.
Peter had never been allowed to go trick or treating at his old home. The older kids were because they could go by themselves. But dragging a small child everywhere was annoying so he was left behind. He didn't even get to dress up.

So when Tony announced Halloween was coming up, he felt that familiar feeling of dread swirl in his stomach. Not Halloween.

"What do you want to be this year?" Pepper asked him, sipping her coffee. Peter felt both pairs of eyes settle on him and he squirmed. What did he want to be? He'd never made this decision before.

"If you could be anything in the world, what would you be?" Tony asked, kneeling beside his son. Peter tilted his head. Anything?

"Spiderman. Iron Man's sidekick." He grinned excitedly, remembering his pajamas. Pepper chuckled and Tony smiled, ruffling his hair.
"Then Spiderman it is."

The dread of Halloween had now totally faded. It was October 30th and Peter was excited to head to bed. Tony had gone all out this year. He had helped Peter carve out 3 pumpkins, decorated the whole compound in decorations and they'd watched a Halloween movie every night. The next day, he planned on driving Peter up to one of the richer neighbourhoods and helping him trick or treat.
With a little help from a friend, of course.

Scott Lang and his daughter Cassie were coming to keep Tony out of trouble because Pepper couldn't be there and also to try and get Peter to bond with someone his own age.
Tony smiled down at the sleeping boy. The perfect Halloween for his perfect son.

Tony had made Peter a real Spiderman suit. And Peter loved it. He could stick to walls and shoot stuff and it lit up. 'I'm going to have the coolest costume out there.' He happily thought as he watched his Daddy walk around, talking to Mr. Lang on the phone.
"They'll be here any minute." He promised as he hung up.

Cassie dressed up as a pumpkin and Peter immediately took a liking to her. She taught him what to say to the people in the houses as they drove and she promised she wouldn't walk too fast so he could keep up.
Most of the night went without incident and Tony was almost ready to call it a night because they had two big bags of candy and he was cold, when he noticed a group of teenage boys approaching.

Scott was immediately on high alert, watching his daughter and Tony followed suit. One of the boys, one that Tony shockingly recognized from the foster home he'd taken Peter from, began to heckle Peter.

"Hey, look! It's Peter and his free bag of candy." He pointed to the bag that Peter held. Cassie saw her friend tense up. She looked back to her father with a worried expression as the boys began to grab at his bag. Peter let out a startled yell and fell watching his bag be picked up by the boy.

The toddler was furious. This was his night, his daddy had said so, and they wanted to take it from him just like before. 'We still have two bags in daddy's hands' he thought. But it wasn't enough. He raised his wrist and shot the sticky substance in his blasters at the boys. Caught off guard, they dropped the bag and Peter swiped it before someone else did. He retreated to his stunned father's side.

"Like father, like son. He clearly doesn't take crap from anybody." Scott snorted as they walked back to the vehicle.
"Especially when it comes to food." He added and Tony had to agree.

As much as he hated unnecessary violence and he knew he was going to get in trouble for arming his son, he couldn't help but think they deserved it.
And now they had three bags of candy for Peter to share with Thor (who was definitely not going to pass up a chance to get sugar high with his nephew.)
