What Tangled Webs We Weave

Chapter Twenty-Six

"Dad, stop! You're embarrassing me!"

Tony smiled faintly, tears beginning to brim in his eyes. He didn't even look up when Steve walked into the Tv room until he called Tony's name.

"Tony, what are you doing?" Steve went up to Tony, who motioned for him to sit down.  Tony paused it as Steve did so.

"Some videos I found - from Peter's suit, from the tower database - everywhere."  Tony wrapped an arm around him.  "I found as many as I could and compiled them all together."

"Tony-"

"Come on, Steve.  Watch.  Please."

Steve hesitated before nodding.  He looked at the screen as Tony turned it back on.

"What? You too old to have your parents drop you off on your first day of middle school and love you?" Steve chuckled on the video Tony had set up on the Tv.

"No, I just don't want kids to see me getting hugged and kissed by my parents." Peter shuddered. "Every kids worst nightmare. And did you have to bring the camera?"

"Uh, duh!" Tony said behind the camera, causing Peter to roll his eyes.  Tony kissed Peter's forehead, making Peter laugh.

"Whatever," Peter said with a smile. "I love you guys, but I've gotta go!" He hugged them both before running up the block.

"Love you! Good luck!" Tony yelled, sighing softly. "He's growing up, isn't he?"

"A little too fast for my liking."

The video changed.

"I'm gonna find youuuuuu!" Natasha's voice came from the screen, running through the halls of Avengers tower.

"No you won't!" Called a muffled voice from the closet.

"Oh really now?" Natasha grinned and opened up the closet door. "I think I just did!"

Little seven year old Peter squealed and tried to run off before getting scooped up off of his feet by Natasha, who tickled him all over.

"Auntie Nat!! Stop!! It- it- tickles!" He giggled and wriggled around.

Someone sat beside Steve, who looked over and saw none other than Natasha, tears beginning to prick at her eyes. Bruce sat beside her, Sasha in his arms.

"You're the best," Peter giggled as soon as Natasha set him down. "I love playing this with you."

"Me too, Pete."

The video changed again.

"You want to tell us what you did, Pete?"

"Well, technically, it was Uncle Clint-"

"What'd you do?"

"So we might or might not have gotten carried away while cooking up a prank cake and might or might not have set the kitchen on fire - but to be fair! Clint was the one who burned the cake, so..."

"Ah, I remember that too well." Clint leapt over the arm of a chair and sat down, Chinese takeout in his hands. "Even at 13 that kid was trying to pin everything on me."

Vision and Wanda followed after Clint, the pair sitting on the couch opposite of him. Wanda smiled softly at the videos as Vision seemed to reminisce.

"I heard that, Pete!"  Clint said from off screen.

The video changed again.

"Whatcha doing in the lab, Pete?" Tony asked.
