peter meets morgan

it had been a week since tony's funeral. pepper had called and invited him to dinner with some of the avengers. she said morgan wanted to meet her dad's friends; so he went.

"spider-man!" someone grabbed his leg, making him jump back. he looked down to see a little girl.
he grinned, "are you morgan?"
she nodded, "yes! and you're spider-man!"
"i am."
she lifted her arms. "will you hold me?"
he tilted his head. "sure." he picked her up. "so what are you doing?"
"mommy was showing me pictures of daddy and you!"
"oh yeah?"
"he loved you."
"i loved him too."
"mommy said he's going to be gone for a while."
he sighed. "he is. but you have me."
she kissed his cheek, making him chuckle. he was carrying her to the kitchen. "you're my best friend, peter!"
he sat her on the chair. "you're mine, too."
pepper hugged him. "thanks for coming, peter."
he relaxed into her, she smelled a bit like tony. like home. "of course."
morgan got down and grabbed his hand. "come look at my room, peter!"
he followed after her, thinking about how great it would be if tony was here. how lucky he was to have a "sister" now.

they were inseparable the whole day.
when everyone went swimming in the pool, morgan and peter stayed side by side. when they ate, they sat together at the table. when they played games, they were on the same team.
after he left, morgan called him with pepper's phone and told him she missed him.

—>two weeks later<—
peter showed up at pepper's house in his spider-man suit.
morgan ran to the door, wearing pink flower shorts and a white t-shirt.
"ready to go, kiddo?"
"yes!"
"please be careful, peter."
"always, miss potts."
she smiled and waved. "have fun, you two."
morgan latched on to peter's hip and he started swinging around. mr. stark had lived practically in the middle of nowhere, but at least he could swing off of the trees.
morgan giggled wildly as they landed in a tree. "having fun?" he smiled at her.
"so much fun!"
"good." he kissed her head. "ready to go back?"
she nodded, so peter took her home.
for the next couple months, he came every other week to swing around with her.
