The Londoner

Chapter 2 Meeting the Avengers

"It's nice to finally meet you." Tony said to him.
________________

There he was in all his glory. Tony Stark. His father. Now some of you may be wondering how that happened so he'll tell you.

Peter really has no idea.

See before he was born his mom was an employe of SI and I guess Tony took an interest in her. He first heard about her through the leaps and bounds she's made with technology. And one thing led to another. Lily knew Tony was the dad because she didn't hook up with anyone else around the time. She decided both her and her baby needed a fresh start. So she got her papers together and moved to England where she worked for another company similar to SI. Peter didn't know any of this until he read a letter his mom left him though, and to be honest he didn't blame her and was happy with her decision because she thought it was what would be best for herself and her baby.

"Well don't just stand there gawking come sit down." Tony told Peter. Peter snapping out of it shuffled nervously over to the seat that was directly across from Pepper. Tony was at the head with Pepper to his right and Peter to his left. He dropped his backpack down next to him and pulled out the chair before bracing himself on the armrests and sitting down.

Once seated he scooted his chair forward and folded his hands in front of him onto the table.
"Hello Peter." Pepper said to him.
"H-hello Miss Potts." Peter said in greeting. His British accent becoming more pronounced. Pepper gave Tony a look that said 'I like him.'
"Oh please. Pepper is fine." She told him and gave him a smile. He relaxed a bit and returned it.
"Have to say love the accent." Tony told him as he shifted to lean on the table instead of leaning back.

"T-Thank you Mr. Stark." Peter stammered. He's never received a compliment about his british accent before.
"Tony is fine." Mr. Stark told him.
"Ok Mr. Stark." Peter replied with a smile.
"Can I keep him?" Pepper asked Tony. He shot her a glare that said 'back off, he's mine.'
"Alright Pete. We ran a DNA test with the blood and hair you sent over and it matches Tony's so we know you are truly his son. We're going to give Tony a few days to decide if he wants to keep you if that's alright. If he decides not you'll go back to London ok? He can sign the papers anytime he wants but we thought it be best to test the waters first." Pepper explained to the rapt teen.

Peter nodded. He had heard all of this from his lawyer.
"Alright excellent! Why don't you tell us about yourself." Tony said as he leaned onto his hand.
"Umm w-well I grew up in L-London." Peter said. Tony waved his hand.
"We know that. Tell us your interests, hobbies, y'know stuff like that." He said. Pepper looked interested too.
"I- Umm well I like science." Peter said and rubbed the back of his neck. That seemed to peak Tony's interest.
"What kind of science?" The mechanic asked. Then they both watched as Peter's face and sparkling brown eyes lit up with excitement. And they both knew he was here to stay.

"Oh! Everything and anything! I'm especially interested in chemistry right now! I've been doing my own experiments with chemical compounds and formulas! Not to mention I find the chemical engineering field incredibly interesting-." Peter began to ramble which caused both adults to smile.
"Are you a mechanic?" Tony asked Peter after he was done rambling about chemistry.
"I know some basics. Why?" Peter questioned feeling more at ease.

"Wanna come down to the lab with me. Who knows maybe we'll see Bruce Banner." And yet again they watched his whole face light up.
"I already met him! He didn't seem like much of a talker though. I was talking to him about his work but he didn't talk very much about it-." Peter began again.
"Wait wait wait." Tony said stopping Peter. "You talked to him about his work?" He asked incredulously.
"Well yeah." Peter said sheepishly. "I've read all his works on gamma radiation." Both Pepper and Tony stared at him amazed. What was with this kid?
