Chapter 16

3rd Person POV-

The meeting took too long in Tony's head. All he wanted to do was get home and finish prepare for the party. It wasn't a surprise anymore, but he still wanted it to be the best party Peter has ever been to. 

---

Currently Peter was out with Ned, MJ, and Wade. They were taking him shopping and getting him used to walking on his new prosthetic leg. It was odd to say the least. Peter had to lean on Wade very heavily. Ned and MJ were just glad to have Peter back. They were even warming up to Wade. Overall, today was going really well for everyone. The teenagers had gone into, at least, 50 different stores, and all of them got clothes, courtesy of Mr. Stark. 

They had just walked into a new store when there was a man staring at them. The man kept glancing down at Peter's leg, or lack there of. He was balding horribly and wasn't much taller than Peter. Wade and MJ seemed to notice, but Peter and Ned were oblivious to the continuous looks. Wade and MJ made eye contact before taking a defensive stance next to Peter. When the man began to walk over they tensed. Ned had realized at this point what was going to happen. They had been approached one too many times today. Peter was still rambling on about what Star Wars shirt he was going to get. 

"Hi, ummm, excuse me?" Peter turned and smiled awkwardly. He also gave a small wave. MJ and Wade were glaring at the man. They didn't want to hear what he had to say. "Yes, umm, I was just wondering if you were that kid from the news." Peter wasn't really surprised. He was annoyed though. All the kids wanted to do was shop in piece. As Peter was about to answer, MJ beat him to it.

"Turn around and walk away, sir." The guy looked surprised she spoke, like he hadn't even seen her standing there.

"Who gave you permission to talk to me, bitch?" Ned's jaw dropped, Peter looked like he wanted to punch something, and Wade moved to stand in front of MJ. She didn't let him though. She stepped forward and look the man square in the eyes. Her confidence never wavered. 

"I don't need anyone's permission. You however, should have asked if you can speak to my friend. He doesn't need assholes like you to bother him. Nor does anyone else. I suggest you shut your mouth, before it gets you in trouble." Then she turned and walked away like the queen she is. 

Peter and Ned were basically rolling on the floor laughing while Wade chuckled quietly. 

"Did you see his face?" "He looked like he was going to cry!" Ned was doubled over and Peter was sitting on a bench they found after they left the store.   

The teens ended up leaving shorty after the incident to get ready for the party. They had all picked up a fancy-ish outfit to wear.

Peter's POV

I've been standing in front of my mirror for 20 minutes now. I had on a black tux and as much as I tried my hair was still a mess. I still think I look too thin and my prosthetic leg is odd, too. You can see the shiny metal ankle from below my pant leg. That's just something I'll have to get used to, though. I can't change that. 

A light knock on the door interrupted my thoughts. I rushed to get in the earbuds, so I was ready to go. "The guests are waiting for you." I recognized that voice, but from where? I jogged to the door and yanked it open. Standing before me was Loki! I had been asking to meet him since I met all the other Avengers. Mr. Stark always said 'He's too dangerous' or 'He's busy'. My eyes widened considerably and a smile spread across my face. The taller man just gazed down at me. His mouth twitched into a smile for a fraction of a second before it was gone. 

"Hi Mr. Loki sir." He looked down at me and couldn't help but smile. 

"Hello child. I'm supposed to escort you to the party." I nodded and began to walk. He appeared in front of me and I stopped abruptly. "You can't walk. You have to enter in style." I scrunched my face up in confusion when he whistled. After a few second I heard the sound of Dr. Strange's magic. I peaked over Loki's shoulder and saw a portal. 

"Cool."

"Yes, it is. Now come." Fog began to spread across the floor as Loki stepped though. I followed him lead but at this point I couldn't see him though the wall of gray. I stepped through and cheer erupted from a crowd of my friends and family. Pietro ran up to me and picked me up. He ran we over to Mr. Stark and Mrs. Potts. I stood before my new parents while they just looked at me and smiled. After a few seconds, they grabbed me in a large group hug. I felt safe. I felt like I had a family. 

After the hug broke, music began to play. Peter was dragged to the dance floor by some red air. He danced with his friends and family. Everyone at the party said at least a little something before they went back to enjoying it. It wasn't very big, 50 people at most. It was just enough in Peter's opinion. He had a great night. 

{A/N-i just thought i would tell you that you have a choice now. you will be able to choose a happy ending or a sad ending. you can also choose both, idc. a warning though, both will be rather short.
