Stephen smiled at Tony as he entered the room, "You were gone too long. Is Peter okay? That new villain seems unstable."

"Pete's fine, a little shaken up though. Did you know that he hangs out with Deadpool now? How scandalous!" Tony let out a fake gasp before joining his boyfriend on the sofa that was in the lab.

"Are you sure that's a good idea? Letting Peter hang out with Deadpool that is." The former doctor questioned, allowing the smaller male to cuddle up next to him.

Tony shrugged and wrapped a blanket around their bodies. "If I banned him from seeing Deadpool, he'll just do it behind my back. Until Deadpool does something that puts Peter in danger I can't say anything."

Strange hummed with a teasing smile, "Are you sure that you're the same man from a few days ago?"
Tony shot the man a look, "What does that mean?"

"Remember last week? When you said that you'll go to school with Peter and threaten the students so that everyone would stop picking on him? And how you were going to sue the school because the food was bad?"

"What if he gets food poison?" Tony defended.
Stephen shrugged, "I mean to be fair, the school food is nasty."

"See!" Tony threw his hands up in the air.

Strange shook his head fondly and pulled his boyfriend in closer, "Honey your too overprotective. But, I guess you're right in that sense. I trust yours and Peter's judgment."

Tony smiled softly and pressed a quick kiss against the sorcerer's cheek, "You're amazing you know that."

"So I've been told a few times, feel free to keep talking about the subject though. I do adore your input dear." The man winked.

Tony let out a laugh and playfully swatted Stephen's hand, "You ass!"

"So, you fought some ninja's?" Ned questioned his friend excitedly.

"Yeah, in this video game!" Peter smiled at a group of his classmates passing by in the hall. As soon as the group passed by, Peter tugged Ned into the nearest janitors closet.

"Dude! Keep your voice down about that stuff!" The taller teen exclaimed, his eyes wide with panic.
"It's fine Peter! No one pays attention to us anyways." Ned explained, trying to calm his friend down.

"There's always someone listening! Please, Ned we have to keep this quiet." Peter begged his friend.

"Alright! I'm sorry! I should've been more careful. I won't talk about your after-school activities anymore. At least not when people are around." Ned added.

Peter sighed in relief, "Thank you."

"Did you become a stripper overnight?" A female voice questioned.

Ned jumped at the voice while Peter let out a shriek of freight. The voice let out a laugh and some shifting was heard before MJ stepped out from her hideout.

"What? What are you doing here?" Peter gawked at the other teenager?

MJ smirked, "What are you two doing here? Something going on between the two of you that I should know about?"

Peter flushed red and Ned proceed to laugh so hard that tears started falling from his eyes.

"Why would be become a stripper? Who would like that?" Ned asked?

MJ rolled her eyes and opened the closet door, "Well, I'll find out what your hiding eventually. See you later, Stark, Leeds."

The duo wanted as she left, the door closing behind her. Peter just scared after her, his face in shock.

Ned clapped a hand on Peter's back, "Someone's always watching." He repeated the words with a smile.

The janitor's door opened again and the two teenagers were met with the angry scowl of their principal.
"Peter! Ned! Detention!" He shouted before pointing out, "Get to class!"

"Dude, this is so cool!" Ned exclaimed joyfully.

Currently, Spiderman was webbing his way across New York with a fellow teenager draped across his back. Peter grinned and made his movements more fluid, so Ned wouldn't be falling off anytime soon. The hero swung them into an alley and gently lowered his friend onto the ground.

"Do you think I could be Spiderman?" Ned asked with bright eyes once he was safely off of Peter's back.
The doe-eyed teen laughed, "Who knows? But you're not borrowing my costume to find out."

"Wow, some friend Stark!" Ned jeered playfully.

The teenagers shared a laugh which was interrupted by a loud crashing sound. Immediately Peter stepped in front of Ned and narrowed his eyes at the potential threat.

"Wowized! Didn't think the fall would work so well for my gluts!" Deadpool shouted in happiness.

"What the actual fuck." Ned breathed in shock.

Peter lightly cleared his throat and turned to Ned, "Don't worry citizen! You are safe now! Hurry home."

Ned who caught on fast nodded, "Thank you for your help Spiderman!" The teen smiled at the hero before bolting out of the alley.

"And what was that for? I was hoping to make some more friends!" Deadpool pouted, from his place on the ground.

Peter watched as blood started to seep from the man's costume. "Right. Stop scaring my people Deadpool."

"He said my name, " Deadpool sighed dreamily.

"Deadpool really, you can't be jumping off of buildings whenever you feel like it. You're going to give someone a heart attack." Spiderman scolded the anti-hero.

"Sounds like a you problem, " Wade whistled.

Peter rolled his eyes, "C'mon work with me here! Why are you even here? Are you following me?" The teen asked squinting his eyes at the other male.

Wade gasped, "I would never do that to you Spider-babe! I love you too much!"
"Uh-huh, I'm going to go now. Got patrol and stuff."

"Let me go with you!" Deadpool cried out.
"No." Spiderman deadpanned.

"Please! Oh pretty please with my nudes on top!" Deadpool clasped his hands together, begging.

"No, go away. Go do whatever you do when I'm not around." Peter said offhandedly.
"Okay I lied, I do follow you around when I'm bored." Deadpool said getting up.

Spiderman sighed and mentally prepared himself for a horrible patrol that was about to happen.
