(This is all fluff)
Later that evening when Peter's injuries were slowly healing. His teacher had done more damage than he had originally thought. The teenager had several broken ribs, a cracked cheekbone, a badly bruised ankle and a small concussion. Tony was not happy when he heard this news and almost went hunting the teacher down and kill him in cold blood. But Peter stopped him before he could.
The boy has currently sat in the living room the rest of the Avengers as well as Pepper surrounding him. It was time for him to explain why he didn't tell anyone. But Peter wasn't as embarrassed as he once was. He saw with his own eyes the length these people would go to protect him. Even if he did have spider powers.
"Care to explain why you didn't tell us you were being bullied by your classmates?" Steve asked who had been a witness to Peter being pushed around in a place where he should be allowed to be who he is.
Peter shrugged his shoulders "I wasn't that big of a deal. Flash just calls me dumb names and didn't believe that I interned here. He is the 'cool' one in school so he managed to get people following his theory that I bribed you all into knowing me today. But I honestly had it under control." Peter said as he leaned further into Tony's side the man welcoming the teenager with an arm around his shoulder.
"You seemed pretty upset when I heard him call you those names. Every word that boy said got inside your head. Don't deny it, Hun." Pepper spoke in her mother's voice. The woman like Tony had practically adopted the boy and she often filled the mother role in his life ever since he moved into the tower after May moved to explore more options for herself.
"Well yeah. Having all the school only know you by the name Penis Parker isn't the best for one's self-esteem. But I have Ned and MJ I don't really need anyone else." Peter said.
"Why didn't you tell us kiddo? We could have had this handled in an instant. Don't get started on the 'you had it handled crap' because I don't care. I don't want you being bullied at all." Tony asked the teenager who felt so small wrapped under his arm.
"I didn't want any attention from people who would try and use me to get to you. Even though I told them I had an internship. I didn't want that to be all I was liked for." Peter spoke honestly. He really didn't want attention from anyone. He just wanted his class to understand that the one thing he isn't is a liar. Sure he is great at dodging the truth and changing the question but he doesn't lie. Except if people ask him if he is spider-man which no one does. He would totally lie then but he likes to think it would be for there own good.
"We could have figured out something. But none of those kids minus your two buddies will think they are innocent in this. They all stood by and watched you get hurt." Tony said and Peter sighed and looked up at his mentor.
"Better me than them," Peter said softly as he looked at the man whose eyes softened at the response. This kids heart was truly going to get him killed.
"No its not! You don't deserve any harm that ever comes too you. From now on if anyone that's not a villain ever hurts you. You tell us okay. We won't do anything it's just to make sure you are alright. You aren't alone any more kidda. Get that in that brain of yours." The billionaire said as he looked into the boys chocolate orbs that screamed innocence and made Tony want to wrap the kid up in bubble wrap.
"Okay. I promise. I will come to you guys. I'm sorry I didn't I really wanted too but I didn't want you guys going to jail for killing a group of teenagers." Peter smirked as he looked at Clint who smiled back at the boy and took him out of Tony's protective arm and into his own where he pressed a kiss to the boy's hair.
"I'd kill anyone for you. No matter where it got me." Clint spoke and the rest of the team nodded even Bruce in agreement.
"I'd have the green guy do it," Bruce smirked making the boy crack a smile which eventually turned into a yawn.
"Alright, underoos bedtime for you. Sleep as long as you want no school for you tomorrow." Tony said as he plucked the boy off the couch being careful with the ankle that still hurt when too much pressure was added too it.
Peter was scrolling his phone reading about his teacher who had made the news with his actions. Peter's name wasn't in the article so he didn't panic much. He actually smiled a bit as he watched his teacher be shoved into the back of a police car as students watched. One less demon to worry about.
"Hey, Pete you awake kid?" Peter heard a muffled voice come from the vents that lead into his room. That was Clint's preferred way of entry.
"Uncle Clint?" Peter questioned as he watched the man jump down from the vents and walk over to the bed motioning for Peter to scoot over. The boy obliged and his uncle sat down on the bed next to him.
"I'm sorry if I embarrassed you earlier today," Clint said sincerely. "I just lost all control when I saw him hit you. I just imagined all the other brilliant kids he has probably done that too. Then I imagined my kids being beat by a teacher. I didn't mean to do that in front of everyone." Clint spoke and Peter lied his head on the older man's shoulder.
"I wasn't embarrassed. I was honestly more worried that you were going to kill someone and end up in jail. I need you here." Peter said. His relationship with Clint was special to him. The archer was truly his uncle and someone who he looked up to deeply. The pair spent so much time together whether it be training, playing video games or even going to get ice cream. The two also had a similar sense of humor where they were able to joke about each other without the other being offended.
"I would never leave you. You wormed your way into my jet black heart and got stuck in there. Forever." Clint said pulling the 15-year-old closer to him. Gosh, Clint forgets how young Peter is.
"Mr. Barton. Why must you corrupt my child from getting his much-needed sleep?" The pair looked up to see Tony standing in the door frame. His tone was humorous but as he got closer you could see the concern in his eyes. It was clear he had also come to check up on Peter. The genius sat on the other side of the big bed leaving Peter in the middle.
"Shut it Stark. Kids not asleep until around 2 every night. Just lays in bed talking to his little friends who are also never asleep." Clint said and Peter punched him in the shoulder.
"Uncle Clint! How dare you expose me like that!" Peter shouted and Clint only rolled his eyes.
"Well guess I better make a new protocol for you huh? What should we call this one?" Tony said moving his hand to ruffle the boy's messy hair.
"Just nothing embarrassing like baby monitor protocol. Mr. Stark, what were you thinking?" Peter shook his head with a small laugh at the man he looked up to so much.
Clint let out a laugh and Tony shot him a dirty look.
"I should make one for you bird brain I should call it 'get your fat ass out of the fucking vents'" Tony smirked as he eyed the archer who glared at him.
"Real funny," Clint said dryly.
"Mr. Stark? Why did you come in here? Not that I don't want to see you it's just I thought you thought I was asleep and you never come in my room when you think im sleeping." Peter rambled slightly and was about to continue until Tony held up his hand to silence the boy. His heart shattered when he saw the young boy's eyes widen in fear when he saw the man raise his hand. The boy didn't think Tony was going to hit him, did he? Tony felt a bolt of anger surge through his body. Bloody teacher.
"Relax kiddo. I knew you weren't asleep when I heard this idiot crash onto the floor." Tony said as he flicked Clint in the head not so lightly.
"Oh okay. Peter giggled as Clint held a dramatic hand to his head.
"I just had to make sure. Your teacher has never laid a hand on you before this correct? Because if he did then Peter we need to do more about this." Tony asked seriously as he took Peters chin and made the boy look at him.
"No. He never hit me before. But he would always insult me and he would laugh at the jokes Flash made about me and would sometimes make his own." Peter said. The teen felt tears leak into his eyes as he remembered all the times that man humiliated him in front of the entire class. Peter began to wonder if any of the other teachers felt this way about him. Did his other teachers complain about him? He sure hoped not.
"Hey, talk to us squirt. It's just us." Clint said using the nickname he gave Peter when the two had first met.
Tony used his thumb to wipe a tear that leaked out the poor boy's eye as Peter began to speak. "I was just thinking about if the other teachers hate me or if they ever talk about me behind my back or if I ever miss school they talk about me oh gosh what if Ned joins in he must be so tired of dealing with my crap! What i-" Peter was cut off when Tony pulled the now hysterical boy into this arms rocking him slowly. Tony was no stranger to panic attacks and knows Clint has had his share of them as well.
"Relax small bug. We are going to make sure no at that school hurts you. We told you. You are our family and family is forever and you need to do everything to protect it." Clint spoke his tone surprisingly soft though he didn't treat Peter like a broken child which Peter appreciated.
"Ned doesn't talk about you and he never will. Don't let go of that friendship, Pete." Tony added as he let go of the small teen who laid his head back on Clint's shoulder.
"Alright bird face. Let's go leave my child to rest in peace." Tony said as he got up pulling the archer with him.
"Watch it iron face," Clint said as he exited the room jumping back up into the vents where he would keep an eye on his nephew.
Tony rolled his eyes as he turned back to the small boy who was curled up on the bed.
"Everything is going to work out buddy. Trust me okay. You will be back giving me heart attacks in no time but for now, let's say we work on you." Tony said as he tucked Peter into bed pulling the covers up to his chin.
Peter nodded as he felt himself drifting to sleep. He felt a pair of lips press to his hair before hearing a faint.
"Night kiddo," Tony said as he moved to exit the door and before he shut the door he heard a whisper he would have missed if it wasn't so quiet.
"Night dad. Love you." The sleepy boy mumbled and Tony felt his heart melt.
Nothing bad was going to happen to his kid and Tony would be damned if he let another demon torture his son.
I just want to put an explanation as to why I chose the teacher to be a bully and it is because a few years back our teacher was just like Mr. lake (never hit anyone don't worry) but he always put student who did there work and tried hard in class down and would let the people to slacked off and often supported them. It was ridiculous. He also hated my white ass so love that.
