Peter woke up to his alarm blaring the radio's choice of music for the day. He groaned, slamming his hand onto the 'stop' button. "F.R.I.D.A.Y, what's the weather?" He always asked the AI the same question every morning. Especially in the winter.

"It is twenty degrees outside, with a high of twenty-two and a low of thirteen degrees. There is a one-hundred percent chance of snow, with many cancellations and delays throughout the city."


His head bolted up with that. "Fri, can you check Midtown Tech?" He crossed his fingers, hoping beyond hope that school wouldn't happen.

"There is no school today or tomorrow, due to a snow emergency across the state." The AI sounded amused.

"YES!!!!!!!!" Peter yelled, jumping onto the ceiling in his excitement. Just then, his door creaked open, revealing a very startled Tony Stark, who jumped in shock at the sight of Peter on the ceiling.

"Pete, what the he-"

"SCHOOL'S CANCELLED MR. STARK!" He let go of the ceiling and dropped cross legged onto his bed. Tony sighed, smiling.

"Alright kid. Is it just today?"

"Nope! Today and tomorrow, meaning four day weekend!!!!" Peter grinned, bouncing a little when he said that.

"I'll make some breakfast then!" Tony clapped his hands together. As he walked down the hall, Peter heard him shouting, "EVERYBODY UP! UNDEROOS HAS THE DAY OFF! WE'RE TRAINING!"

Peter rolled his eyes. Then again, he kind of loved training.

Now dressed for the day, Peter walked out of his room, shutting the door behind him. He ran a hand through his still messy hair, straightening it out a little bit. Chatter from the nearby kitchen flowed through the hallways, along with the delicious smell of Tony's

omelets. Suddenly, another door shut behind him.

Peter jumped, turning around to see who it was. Shuri smirked at him from down the hall. "Did I scare you, sleepyhead?"


He narrowed his eyes in fake anger and mockery. "Yeah, sure."


She laughed. "So, snowday, huh? We never had those back home."

They chatted all the way down to the kitchen. Arriving inside, they saw literally everyone else there.

"So, you finally woke up?" Natasha said, sipping a mug of tea with a scarily serious expression on her face.

"Y-yeah...." Peter said nervously. Scanning the kitchen, he saw Tony taking to Steve while cooking omelets. Clint was sitting next to Nat, Wanda was next to Sam and Bucky, and T'Challa was drinking a cup of coffee with a disgruntled expression. Thor and Loki

were in the living room, reading (surprisingly) the Harry Potter series.

"SH-" Tony started, only to be interrupted by Nat. "Language, Stark! Steve is right there!"

Shuri laughed, obviously having heard the story behind the joke.

"It never stops!" Steve said in mock indignation, shaking his head comically.

"Hello young spider." Loki's smooth voice drifted across the room. "How are you? I heard you'll be staying here the entire day."

"I'm good Mr. Loki, happy that school's canceled."

Loki nodded, taking a drink of his latte. Yes, Loki liked Starbucks. It was as surprising to Peter as it was to everyone else.

Suddenly, Thor let out a strangled noise. "NO!"
