Here We Go Again

26: Dude, Shut Up

"Okay, hear me out. Surprise wedding ceremony!"

"What the fuck, Wade," Tony sighed, shaking his head.

"It's such a good idea! He'll never see it coming and it'll be so romantic and fun!"

"No."

"Why not?"

"Because I said so."

"You're not even my dad! You can't do that."

"I'm not your dad but I am his dad, and I'm saying no." Wade sighed and crossed his arms. "Look, kid, you love him and all that shit but if he doesn't get to pick the flowers, he'll loose his mind. A proposal is one thing; a wedding, though? You can't just spring that on him without warning."

"Even if I love him so much and it'll be perfect?"

"Especially if you love him so much and it'll be perfect."

"Hey guys, what are we talkin' about?" wondered Peter, walking in drinking a juice box.

"Since when do we have juice boxes?" asked Tony.

"Bruce bought them for me."

"Of course he did."

"Oh, hey, Bucky told me to tell you that Rocket broke into your lab."

"WHAT." Tony tapped his chest piece and took off toward the stairs, nanoparticles surrounding him, pretty much creating the Iron Man suit out of thin air. He got through the door and instantly jumped over the railing, flying down to his lab.

"Did Rocket really break into the lab?"

"Yeah, but only because I let him in," Peter shrugged.

"Why did you let him in?"

"Bucky and Sam wanted to go on a date but Rocket kept trying to take his arm and wouldn't let up so I told him he could go in the lab if he left them alone." Then he added, "and I made him promise not to tell my dad I let him in."

"You're a genius."

Peter grinned. "Thanks!"

"Hey, when do you wanna have the wedding?"

"Uhhhhh... I dunno." He took another sip of his juice box. "Do you wanna do it soon?"

"Yeah. I mean, usually a proposal means you get married shortly after that, right?"

"I dunno, I've never been married before."

"Yeah, that's true. Who could we ask? Who's been married?"

"Pietro and Clint?"

"They're still on their honeymoon though, right?"

"Oh fuck, I think so."

"Hmmmmm... Oh man, your dad would know, right? He got married."

"Yeah! Which one though?"

"Well they both got married, so I think we could ask either one."

Just then, Tony burst through the stairwell door, holding Rocket by the scruff of his neck. He did not look happy.

"You LET him into my lab? He openly admitted he's a thief!! You're so grounded, kid."

"Rocket, what the fuck! You promised you wouldn't say anything," Peter frowned.

"Dude, I'm a liar. Sorry."

"Bucky made me do it!" Peter defended himself.

"How?"

"I was tryna take his beautiful fuckin' arm and he made the kid let me in so I'd leave him alone," Rocket explained, wiggling himself out of Tony's grasp. Tony dropped him and Rocket swore under his breath, pushing himself up. "I've been here for like three fuckin' days and I've been dropped so many goddamn times. Does nobody have any respect for people anymore?"
