Deception

[03]

After being lazy for about 2 and a half hours he started cleaning so when Aunt May arrived after a long day of work, she wouldn't have to stress over cleaning.

When he finished he texted Ned about being allowed to go.

It was around 12 when Ned arrived at Peter's…They were going to take the train together. The whole ride there Ned was hyperventilating and Peter just laughed at his friends antics.

Yeah sure when Peter first met Mr. Stark he was ‘physically freaking out’, now he just ‘mentally freaks out’. Big difference.

At the moment Ned is still on the ‘physical freak out’ stage even though he has already met and hung out with Mr. Stark a couple of times when he was allowed over with Peter.

A little bit less than an hour later they arrived at the tower. They both entered with a little skip in their step. When the receptionist recognized them she smiled softly and waved at them. They walked towards the elevators but inside of stepping inside they went through a door to the left of the elevators, the stairs.

Peter was terrified of elevators. He couldn't go into one to save his life. He can't remember why exactly he was terrified of them but it didn't matter.

Everytime he comes he takes the stairs. He knew that if the Avengers ever found out about his irrational fear they would laugh at him. Well on second thought there would be one Avenger that wouldn't laugh. Sam. He would probably be proud knowing that Peter isn't neglecting leg day.

Ned was the only one who knew about this fear. But he didn't make fun of Peter's fear. He only lets out the occasional whine of his thighs being ripped apart, but other than that he doesn't seem to mind.

When they finally arrived to the Avengers private floor Ned was ecstatic. It made Peter happy that his best friend is happy.

Once Peter opened the door they spotted almost all of the Avengers in the common either on the couches, the floor, or some sort bean bag looking thing. The only people not present were Vision, Wanda, Rhodey and Tony.

“Hey everyone!” Peter exclaimed happily. Everyone looked towards both of the boys and greeted them.

The first person to properly speak up was Steve.
“Hey Peter, who might this be?”

“Oh right you guys don't know him, this is my best friend Ned” Peter introduced with a smile. The others could tell Peter really cares about Ned.

“Hello Ned, I'm Steve Rogers” giving him what most people would say. The American dream.

“Oh my gosh you're Captain America” All Steve did was laugh as he saw Ned freak out and Peter telling him to calm down.

Everyone else followed, some just didn't care to say anything... Others were respectful, and the rest just wanted to get it over with.

Bucky just stared at him. Which made Ned slightly uncomfortable.

Thor shook his hand, but didn't say a word. Ned didn't seem to happy about that.

Natasha greeted herself properly, "Hello I'm Natasha." But she made no move to shake his hand.

Sam did the same as Natasha but he actually shook his hand.

Clint did the same as Bucky.

While the introductions dragged Ned was starting to get fed up.

Bruce couldn't help but feel bad for him so he stood up, shook his hand and awkwardly smiled at him.

Scott laughed at Bruce and stood up to do the same.

Among all of the commotion Tony entered the room knowing Peter and his friend were here. Friday informed him a few minutes ago.

“Hey kid, oh Ted's here?” Tony said with a slight grin. Tony was obviously joking.

Everyone started laughing and looked over at the three, the only one who didn't seem happy with the nickname was Ned.

“Hey Mr. Stark! What are we going to work on today?” Peter said while looking over at Ned in excitement. Ned looked to be trying to do the same but it seemed forced, everyone expect for Peter seemed to notice.

“We're working on our suits today, I have everything set up… so if you two would follow me”

“Of course! Let's go Ned” Peter turned over to his friend with the biggest smile, everyone in the room wanted to melt at the sight. But their smiles slighted faltered at Ned only returning not even half the excitement.

Once in the lab both Peter and Ned went to work on the Spiderman suit, while Tony made sure to keep an eye on them but still working on his Ironman suit.
