"Tony we need to go. I talked to T'Challa and he is ready for our arrival. The team knows as well." Wanda walked into the living room where the boys sat.

"Thanks. Is Pete's stuff ready?" Stark looked down at the boy almost asleep but still shaking in his lap. 

"All packed. I grabbed your emergency evac bag so you're all ready too." 

"Alright." He nudged Peter to sit up and the boy obeyed. "Ready kid?" 

The boy's red, puffy eyes stared into Tony's as he nodded. Tony stood up and turned for the door. The QuinnJet was waiting on the roof when they arrived. Stark handed his things to Happy and loaded Peter and himself in the jet with Steve and Wanda trailing behind.

"Halfway there everyone; look out your window for a view." Happy came over the speakers that filled the seating area. Peter was fast asleep with Wanda running her hands through his curls. 

Tony was gazing out the window when his phone buzzed in his hand. He looked down to see PEPPER POTS written across the screen. He sighed and walked towards the bar room in the jet.

"Pepper, thanks for calling." he started. 

"Tony this better be important or I swea-"

"It's Peter. He's in danger." Stark interrupted her.

"W-w-what?" She shuddered in sheer shock. 

"Lars is back. He found Peter and told him about his family. The kid was crushed." Tony fiddled with a napkin as his palms started to sweat.

"That's awful. We said he would never know. He couldn't take it." You could hear the shaking in his voice. 

"It's been a year since we found out and I almost forgot about it all. We are on the jet to Wakanda right now. It's the safest place I could think of. Pepper, Draven has one of the biggest armies we have ever fought. We barely won the first one and I dont know if we can win again. I'm scared Pep." His eyes started to feel hot and he sniffed his nose. 

"Everything will be okay. Is Peter okay right now?"

"Yea," he glanced into the other room and saw the kid dead asleep on Wanda, "he's asleep right now. He was finally getting better. I talked to Ned and MJ and they said he was being social again." The napkin Stark was playing with was now extremely torn up and damp with sweat from his palms.

"MJ and Ned." Pepper mumbled so Tony couldn't understand. "Tony Ill be in Wakanda in the morning. Make sure Shuri texts me when you get there. Stay safe." Pepper finished and hung the phone up. 

Tony looked at the damage he did to the napkin and frowned. He wiped his hands on his shirt and went to sit back down. 

Steve greeted Stark with a drink and didn't question the conversation he was secretly listening in on. 

"Pete," Wanda rubbed the boy's arm to wake him, "you're going to want to see this." She opened the window to reveal the beautiful landscape of Wakanda. Peter blinked a few times and pressed his face against the window.

"This place doesn't look safer than the tower. Not to be rude or anything." He yawned and turned back to Wanda. 

"Keep looking kid, you'll see." Steve grinned as he gazed out the window by his seat. 

"Happy is getting a little close to that mountain." Peter nervously laughed, "Wait, why isn't he stopping. We are gonna crash!" Peter panicked. Happy continued to fly right through the mountain and through the gates of Wakanda. 

The jets and skyscrapers lined the open sky in the border as they flew toward the palace. Peter opened his eyes and pressed his face against the window in amazement.  

Happy landed the jet out front of the palace and started to unload the luggage. T'Challa, Shuri. Okoye and Nakia were waiting for their arrival. Peter walked out of the QuinnJet with his jaw dragging on the ground. Wanda grinned at the sight of the boy. 

"Welcome to Wakanda Peter." T'Challa greeted the group. Tony went ahead and hugged T'Challa and turned to Shuri. She had a huge smile on her face as she sprinted towards him. Shuri jumped into his arms and hugged him. 

"It's been awhile kiddo! How are you?" He grasped the girl in his arms.

"I'm good, slightly upset we have to see each other because of this reason," Shuri spoke as she slid back to the ground. The whole group's expressions dropped slightly.

"It's great to meet you, I'm Nakia. We are glad you are here but sad due to the circumstances. We are ready to protect you at all costs; you are family now Peter." Nakia smiled and walked towards the boy then engulfed him in a hug.

Okoye motioned for the group to come inside, "Dinner is waiting. I hope you all are hungry because it's a lot." She laughed and started inside the massive structure.
