Peters background— nobody's POV:
When Peter was 7 his parents got into a plane crash and his aunt May and uncle Ben took him in. When Peter was 12 he got bit by a radio active spider which gave him spider like abilities. A few months later he was 13 and his uncle was shot on the streets and bleed out into Peters arms. He promised his uncle he would take care of aunt May. He than started using his powers for good doing his best to prevent tragedies from happening. When he was 14 he got home and the room was filled with people with badges that said H.Y.D.R.A on it. They had a gun held to her head and before the badges people said anything, May quickly said "Keep on smiling, dong let this ruin you—" than the shot her in the head and she died instantly. They dragged his body that felt numb from shock. He was took to their facility and was tortured for a year than a random woman helped him escaped. She dropped him off at the city which was all she could do for him. He was different, he had scars that covered his body and had PTSD but he remembered what his aunt told him which was to keep smiling, even though it was just for show that's exactly what he did. He never told anybody, not even the cops that he was kidnapped or how his aunt really died, he couldn't bring himself to do it. He stayed at a foster home that didn't care for him but only had him for the money that came in from the government. When he returned to school after disappearing for a year he was uncomfortable but did his best. Ned, his bestfriend before he was kidnapped had moved away and MJ had the pleasure of traveling the world with his parents. Flash picked on him here and there but didn't get physical like he used to. Peter has been back for almost 2 months but didn't come back as spider-man, he was terrified at even the thought so he thought that for now he would focus on being Peter Parker and not Spider-man for now.

Now: Nobody's POV:
Peter is now 15 and was sitting on a bench reading and filling out a book he just previously got from the library. Peter looked up to see a group of people grabbing ice cream from the little ice cream tent at the park. He looked back down and continued solving each formula and equation in the book. Tony looked behind him while he went to grab ice cream with the team and saw a young teen boy sitting on a bench while writing in what seems to be his and Bruce's book.
"Bruce, look at that kid" Tony said and nodded at Peter who was filling out their book.
"That's... interesting? How old do you think he is?" Bruce looked at the boy up and down.
"What are we talking about" Clint intruded.
"That boy over there, he is writing in our book" Clint looked at the boy after Tony pointed him out.
"Wow smart kid" Natasha said.
"Why don't we go over there?" Tony asked them.
"Why?" Steve was confused.
"This kid is reading and apparently filling out Bruce's and I's book, we should talk to him?" Tony said directing to Bruce.
"Let's go than" Bruce said and they all walked over to Peter. Peter felt them coming, he wasn't much of a social person after H.Y.D.R.A. For a year he barley talked. When he was left in the cell nobody talked to him. When they came and gathered him for torture they still didn't talk to him. So he didn't talk much. They walked up to him and Peter looked at them and looked back at his book.
"Hey kid, I see you have my book there" Tony said.
"Our book" Bruce shot Tony a look.
"Sorry, our book" Peter looked at the cover and smiled at them than went back to his book.
"What are you doing to the book?" Bruce asked.
"Filling it out and fixing the formulas" Peter said still looking at his book.
"burnnn" Sam coughed up. Tony gave him a glare.
"What do you mean 'fixing the formulas' kid?" Tony asked Peter.
"You messes some of them up and there are some that could be improved" Tony felt insulted by Peters comment.
"oh really" Tony said.
"Can I see it?" Bruce asked putting out a hand for the book. Peter looked at his lap and handed him the book. Bruce grabbed it and him and Bruce looked through it. Everything was right and the formulas he fixed where better.
"How do you know this stuff, most adults can't even do this?" Tony asked.
"My dad was a scientist" He looked up and gave him a smile and looked back at his hand.
"Hey how old are you?" Bruce asked. He looked at Tony, they wanted him to work at the lab.
"I'm 15" Steve was surprised because he knew bruce and tony where smart than Peter was super smart.
"Do you think we can talk to your parents about you getting a job at Stark industries?" Tony asked.
"My parents are dead" He said doing his best to show no emotion with a small smile.
"oh" Bruce said. Tony looked to his feet than back to Peter.
"Who took you in after?" Tony asked.
"My aunt May and uncle Ben" showing the same emotion on his face.
"Oh ok, can we talk to them?" Bruce asked.
"Oh, their um... dead too" Peter said, he never got to grieve over his aunt Mays passing so he wasn't at peace with it. They all looked at their feet feeling guilty. Peter saw that they where feeling guilty and he didn't like people not having a smile on their face.
"I'm ok, don't be upset" He said lying but with a fake smile.
"Well, who do you stay with?" Tony asked.
"That's a tough question. I take care of myself but my 'home' is the orphanage" Peter said. Tony thought that he should need a job if he was taking care of himself.
"How about a job at the stark industries kid?" Tony said confidently.
"nope, can't have my name anywhere on papers or what not" Peter said but didn't realize he said that out loud.
"why did i say that" Peter whispered loud enough for them to hear.
"What do you mean kid?" Steve asked.
"it's... nothing" Peter said again lying through his teeth. Peter ran away from H.Y.D.R.A., he can't have his name on legal documents that will go in the system, they will find him and take him again and do their worse to him.
"What is it?" Natasha asked. Peter started tearing up a little from the thought but shook it off.
"It's uh... nothing. I gotta go" he grabbed his things and ran away.
"What's up with him?" Wanda asked.
"We will find out, let's go back to the tower and search him up" Tony said and started walking towards the tower and the rest followed.

   After 20 minutes of walking they arrived at the tower. They all followed Tony down to the lab. Tony day at his desk and the other circled around him.
"ok, Peter Parker" he said and typed.
"Ok, here is his file. His mom and dad died of a plane crash. Uncle died of a gun shot from a robber and his aunt was also shot by a robber" Tony read allowed and paused for a second.
"Ok, and here it says he goes to midtown high school. But he disappeared for a year but it doesn't say where or why. He came back to school a month ago" he read aloud for the avengers to hear.
"Where could he go for a year?" Clint asked.
"I don't know but it was the day of his aunts passing" Tony said studying the machine.
