Day 24 & 25: Creator Choice: Beach Day & Confessions (Febufluff/platonic) - MCU

Summary: After a few months of living with Tony and Pepper Peter and Grace decide to reveal their greatest secret.

Was it the slightly-after but basically the middle of winter? Yes, yes it one hundred percent was. Were you chilling at the beach with your adoptive parents because you had to tell them something, but needed other people not to notice, but didn't want other people to not notice? Yes, though that sentence makes almost no sense though so I might as well give a better explanation. So...

My parents, adoptive parents, are Tony and Pepper Stark. Though Pepper still goes by Mrs. Potts pretty often. I need to tell them something, but I can't have Friday recording it, though Tony still had some of his stupidly, not stupidly, high-tech stuff on him so I really couldn't fully escape it. With it being the middle of winter we didn't have to worry about other people being here, which was a relief. Though I needed Tony and Pepper to not be distracted by tech or work or whatever. Ugh, this still makes no sense.

To put this the simplest way I can, Peter and I have decided to tell Tony and Pepper that we are Alpha Moon and Spider-Man. This was a hard thought decision, but we decided nothing bad could happen. Right? Not like we could be hunted down and I would have to live my life as a dog, right? I'm overthinking this. I have to just get it over with. Everything will be fine.

I went over to Peter, where he was sitting on the sand listening to the waves crash while reading a book. I tapped on his shoulder. "Hey, it's time." Peter looked at me, and I noticed him steeling himself for the conversation. He was preparing for the worst, which makes sense. "It's going to be fine." I threw as much as my convincing voice into my voice to reassure him. He definitely noticed the strain at least a little, but some of his tenseness left, which reassured me as well.

He got up from the ground, tucking his book under his arm and brushing off the sand. "Are... are you sure?" Peter asked with innocence and child-like nervousness in his voice. I nodded, smiling at how he was acting. I put my hand on his shoulder, a reassuring touch. We walked towards where Tony and Pepper were chilling. I skipped closer to where they were before my nerves could get the best of me. My nerves have got the best of me before so it's important I do this fast.

"Hey Tony, P-Pepper." Dang it! I stammered! I need to be serious about this. "Can we talk to you for a second?" Tony pulled down his sunglasses and gave us a look that screamed 'are you kidding me' though it was very fake and quickly turned to a smile.

"'Course!" Tony said. He pulled his sunglasses off fully and relaxed in his chair. Pepper nodded which caused me to shift a little on my feet. Peter and I had greed that I would do the talking since I tend to have a slightly more silver tongue when the conversation is in my favor. Peter is such a puppy and just blunts out the truth sometimes.

"Well, there is a secret we've been keeping from you since we adopted us. A large secret that most of our friends at school don't know either. This secret is something you might get mad at us for, so please hear us out first." I paused to gauge their reactions. So far they only looked intrigued, not mad for us keeping a secret so I cleared my throat. "So," time to be blunt, "Peter and I are Spider-Man and Alpha Moon."

Peter nodded as they processed the words I had just said. Pepper was the first to show a reaction. She started with a confused expression, then surprised, then a 'that makes total sense' expression. She smiled and I could tell she was ok with it, which was a ton of a relief. So, now to see how Tony reacted. He seemed confused, and I could tell he was trying to put together a mask to hide what was happening. Experience from years of dealing with the press. "You two are the superheroes we've been chasing for months? You're not even adults yet! Wait, no, I- I need proof."

I had guessed that Tony would be more confused. I saw Pepper preparing to leap in and help if needed, but Peter and I had prepared for this. I looked over to him and he nodded. He pulled back his sleeves to reveal his web shooters while I did the most discreet thing I could. I let my wolf come forth and my eyes turned yellow and my claws came out. I couldn't do my ears and tail since technically people still could see. "Here's our proof!" Peter said.

Tony was obviously at a loss for words because his children were superheroes and hid it from him. Tony, after five minutes, finally pieced himself back together. "So that's why you guys wanted us to come to the beach in the middle not-middle of winter, and why you would randomly disappear from your rooms. The security footage sometimes just didn't add up."

"Dang, I thought you two would have a very different reaction..." We smiled and I let my wolf side fade away while Peter rolled his sleeves back up over his web shooters. "Thanks Mom. Thanks Dad." It was my first time calling them that, and though it seemed fast it was right. In that unexplainable way. I walked closer and enveloped them in a hug. Pepper was quick to hug back, and Tony took a little longer. After a few seconds Peter joined the hug. A big group hug with all of the family.

Finally we pulled away so the hug wouldn't get awkward. We spent a little longer there before we decided it was time to go back to the tower to do whatever. Tinkering in the lab for Tony, filling out paperwork for Pepper, tinkering in the lab for Peter, and changing into my suit for patrol for me. Wait...

"You're not going to stop us from being superheroes... right?"
