"Sir, the King has arrived," F.R.I.D.A.Y.'s voice chimes through the living room alerting the rest of the Avengers to the King's presence.

"Thanks, Fri. Send him up."

Peter glances at Tony with a frown on his face before looking over the rest of the team.

"If you don't mind me asking, Mr. Stark, why is one of the men who tried to kill us requesting to meet with you?"

"Kid, if I didn't allow people who tried to kill me into the Tower, there wouldn't be anyone in here including me."

"True," Steve winces guiltily.

"Can't say I haven't tried it," Clint shrugs. "I blame Loki for that one though."

"We've had our differences," Nat shoots Tony a lopsided grin.

"The Winter Soldier hated your guts," Bucky adds.

"The Hulk may have tried to kill everyone on the helicarrier that one time," Bruce frowns at the memory. "But human me has never tried to kill you."

"Mr. Stark, I've never once tried to kill you!" Peter scoffs and looks around the room in disbelief. "And maybe you should get some new friends? Are you okay?"

"You may have never tried to kill me but you'll for sure be the death of me," Tony sighs at the spiderboy fondly before turning his attention to the opening elevator. "If it isn't the King of Wakanda himself! Glad you could join us."

"I cannot say that it's always been a pleasure, Stark, but I thank you for the invitation," T'Challa smirks as he shakes Tony's hand, the two of them apparently all good as they pat each other on the back. Peter finds himself staring at the King a little too long, frowning when they make eye contact. "Captain, it is great to see you again. James, always a pleasure. Yes your goats are doing well— Shuri makes sure they are protected."

Does this man know everyone?

"Agent Romanoff, Agent Barton, Dr. Banner," T'Challa shakes everyone's hands formerly but in a friendly manner, stopping when he gets to Peter with a curious smile on his lips.

Despite the fact that he's really never done anything to Peter— except fighting on the opposite team as him during the whole Civil War fiasco (though everyone tries to ignore that time period)— Peter still finds himself hesitant to shake the man's outstretched hand.

"And you would be the infamous Spider-man I suppose."

"And you must be the Black Panther." A showdown between a cat and an insect. Interesting. "So King, if you don't mind me asking, what's your deal anyways?"

Bucky and Clint suppress laughter while Nat simply smirks at the young boy's bluntness. Steve seems shocked as though he wants to scold Peter on manners and proper etiquette but doesn't exactly know what to say while Tony seems surprised but still looks amused.

"Peter, you can't just go around asking people what their deal is," Tony shakes his head with an eye roll making Peter shrug innocently.

"True, that's how Steve always got beat up when we were younger," Bucky grins earning a glare from the blonde super-soldier.
