Family

Chapter 4

I be Loki.

"So Peter, I'm gonna drop you off at the tower and you're gonna hang out with Uncle Bucky and his friends while I meet your teacher."
Wanda said on Tuesday night.

"Ok Mama."
Peter got his school work so that he could work on it at the tower.

~~~

"It shouldn't be too long so be good."
Wanda said, kissing Peter's head.

"No sugar."
Wanda warned Bucky.

"Got it! No sugar but I made some more cookies."

"One cookie and no more."
Wanda said before leaving.

"So Peter, what do you want to do?"
Bucky asked Peter.

"I've got school work to do."
Peter said, holding up his bag.

"Any science stuff?"

"Yeah!"

~~~

"Hi Miss Maximoff, I'm Mr Harris, Peter's new teacher after Miss Webster left."
Mr Harris said, shaking Wandas hand.

"Nice to meet you sir."
Wanda said, siting in front of the desk.

"Well I'm sure you're wondering what this meeting is for?"

"I am, yes."

"Well I'm just meeting all of the pupils parents or guardians and establishing a safe environment so that the parents and guardians feel like their children are safe in school."

"Yeah that makes sense."
Wanda said.

"So, I'm sure you are aware of how smart Peter is I assume?"

"Yeah, he tells me stuff that he's learned in school, primarily science related stuff and I need to ask my friends what it means because I didn't get much of an education."

"Yes and I understand that Miss Maximoff and I would just like to say that you are an amazing role model to young girls all around the world."

"Thank you Mr Harris."

"So I will meet you again for parents evening next term."
Wanda stood up and shook Mr Harris's outstretched hand.

~~~

"Did you guys have fun?"
Wanda asked.

"Yeah! We did science stuff!"
Peter said excitedly.

"Yeah!"
Bucky said.

"Did you guys have sugar?"
Wanda asked.

"No."
They both said.

"Steve! Your boyfriend had sugar again!"
Wanda shouted.

"Steve's not my boyfriend! We're just best friends!"
Bucky complained and Peter giggled.

"Why are you shouting me Wanda?"
Steve asked.

"Your boyfriend had sugar."

"Bucky! It's past 8pm and you always get hyper if you have sugar after 7:30!"

"Knew it."
Wanda said.

During the whole thing, Peter was giggling softly at the adults.

"Come on Peter. You've got school tomorrow and Barnes please don't break into our house with more cookies."

"Buck! Why do you keep breaking into people's homes! First it was Sam's with all of those bugs and then it was Scott's-"
The argument drowned down as the Maximoffs left the room.

~~~

"Hey MJ!"
Peter cheered happily when he saw his best friend.

"Hey loser."
MJ said, less happily than she usually was.

"Are you ok?"

"Yeah. I'm fine."
MJ lied.

"Ok. Well Uncle Bucky gave me more cookies last night!"

"Cool. What kind?"

"They've got marshmallows and chocolate chips and fudge!"

"That sounds so nice!"

"It tastes really really nice as well! I had so many last night!"

~~~

"Hey freaks."
The two boys were back again.

Peter stood up and punched the boys in the stomach. He grabbed MJs hand and they ran away.

~~~

"That was so cool!"
Peter cheered.

"Where did you learn that?"
MJ asked.

"Uncle Bucky told me to do that if the two boys came back."
Peter and MJ sat down in front of the tree and took their lunch out.

Peter handed one of the cookies to MJ and when she bit into it her face lit up.

"These are so nice!"
She said after swallowing the bite.

"I'll tell Uncle Bucky that and I'm sure he'll be happy to hear that!"

~~~

"Bye Peter!"
MJ said, in a much better mood than she was that morning.

And she nearly forgot about what happened. Nearly.

She got adopted. And most people would be happy about that but not MJ. That meant that she had to move across the city and go to a different school. And she wouldn't have her best friend with her.

MJs grin disappeared when she remembered and was happy that the last day she had with Peter was a good day.

~~~

When Peter arrived the next day, he was confused as to why MJ wasn't there, she didn't usually take days off because she rarely got sick.

"Now class, I have a really sad announcement to make."
Mr Harris said.

"Michelle, or MJ, moved away so she is no longer going to be in our class."
Peter's heart broke. His best friend and only friend went away.

~~~

"Hey baby. What's wrong?"
Wanda asked when she picked Peter up.

"MJs not coming back to school. She moved away."
Peter said sadly.

"Well I'm sure you will meet up with her again and I've got something that might cheer you up."

"I don't want Uncle Buckys cookies Mama. I won't be able to share them with MJ again."
Peter said.

"Ok baby let's go home."

So MJ got adopted! I will be going straight (more like bi) to when Peter is 14 and gets bitten by that bloody spider.
