Peter's P.O.V.

"Peter Parker, Level 5, Gold. Welcome back Peter"

If I would've been allowed to disappear in the hood of Wade's oversized hoodie I'm wearing, I would've. As I walk through security, the entire group is whispering and pointing at me. They seem to have forgotten about Ned, MJ and Wade also getting a much higher level, which I'm glad about. I get my badge from the printer right after I get through the gate, pin it on my shirt, and walk over to where Wade and my friends are standing next to Harley. Neither my friends nor Harley seem confused, so I'm guessing Pepper must've told Harley I was coming.

Suddenly, I remember that I've met Harley before. It was on the first day of the summer break the year before the whole Thanos situation happened, and I was with Tony in the lab when he introduced me to a guy named Harley. I had seen a picture of the guy in the penthouse before, but I never really asked Tony who that was. On the day I met Harley, they told me the story of how they met, how Harley had helped Tony after the battle of New York, and how they had always kept in touch. Apparently Harley always stayed in the tower over the summer, and I guess Harley's old enough now that he started working at SI, and started giving tours. Or maybe we are the first and last tour he's giving. I don't know and I don't really care anymore when I hide my face in Wade's neck, hiding from the looks from my classmates.

"It'll be okay baby, just wait"

I don't know what he means with 'just wait', but I'm not sure if I want to know either. Before I can decide if I want to ask Wade what the hell he meant, the doors from the elevator furthest to the right open. I look up, and sigh when I see who it is. I look at Wade, who nods and nudges me in her direction. My eyes meet hers and she smiles, and I start walking faster and faster in her direction. Just seconds later I'm, for the first time in years, in Peppers arms.

"Hey Peter, I missed you" she whispers, and I can't hold back the few tears that gathered in the corner of my eyes.

"I missed you too, Pep"

She lets go of me, cleans the tears of my face with her thumbs, and kisses my forehead briefly before turning to the group.

"Hello guys, can you please come stand a little closer?" She smiles as the group walks up to us, Harley moves to stand next to Pepper, and I walk to my friends at the edge of the group, intertwining Wade's fingers with mine. "For the people who don't know me, my name is Pepper Stark. After Tony's death I became the owner of Stark Industries, and I am here today to, with the help of Harley, give you a tour of the place"

The group immediately starts muttering, but stops when they see Mr.Harrison look at them like he's going to kill them. He turns to Pepper, still smiling, and ask what we'll be doing today.

"First, we are going to the so-called 'Avengers Museum' on the 17th floor, and you won't know what's next until it's time to go to that specific place."

And with that Pepper turns around, and tells us all to follow either her or Harley into one of the elevators. MJ, Ned, Wade and I make sure we are with Pepper, and my anxiety level rises as soon as the doors close. I don't know if I can deal with the museum, and nobody noticed that I sneaked my earbuds under my seat in the bus.
