The Kidnapped Spider

Peter & Natasha

"I won't tell them, but you have to promise me that you won't go back there to meet up with the guy," Bucky negotiated.

Peter chewed his lip. "I - yeah...okay," Peter kept his cross fingers behind his back. Bucky gave him a once over with scrutinizing eyes before nodding, satisfied.

The door dinged open and Natasha and May looked up from the communal couch.

"Where have you been?" Natasha demanded and May looked less angry than Natasha sounded but Peter learned quickly that Natasha was more so concerned than angry.

"Ahh, I went to Mr. Delmar's with MJ and Ned," Peter came up with quickly and he noticed Bucky looking at him approvingly. "I lost track of time and I forgot to text you guys. I'm sorry,"

"I found him when he was walking home," Bucky chimed in, walking to the kitchen to kiss Sam on the cheek. "After ah...running into a gang..."

The elevator dinged again and Steve and Tony came out from the lab below.

"I smell bacon!" Tony crowed, pumping his fist in the air. Clint laughed at him and they all sat down to eat. Peter hopped into a seat next to Natasha and next to May. Tony and Steve sat across from him. Pietro, Wanda, and Clint chose to sit sort of off on their own away from the main dining room table. Pepper was sitting next to Natasha. Thor, Bruce, Sam, and Bucky were all nearby as well.

"So while you went out and looked for Peter, you ran into a gang?" Natasha inquired once everyone had started eating.

"Where did Peter go?" Pepper frowned.

"Mr. Delmar's," Peter piped up. He felt a low purring noise and fur against his feet and he grinned, leaning down to scratch Goose's chin. Carol had dropped off her cat a few weeks ago, claiming that the cat didn't want to be around Nick Fury anymore. Goose quickly grew fond of Peter and licked his chin, face, fingers, and hair, while also nuzzling his clothing and under his chin.

Peter's clothes were often covered in cat hair these days.

"Yes," Bucky said suddenly and Peter remembered the conversation that they were having. "Yeah, they were just sort of around the area when..." Bucky paused as if mulling over his story. "Well, Spider-Man showed up."

Peter choked a little while Steve leaned in. "Really? Why? How did he even show up?"

"He was in the area," Bucky shrugged. "But ah, we kind of learned something...interesting." Bucky pursed his lips and Sam frowned.

"Like what?" Bruce asked, voice a little quiet. He was always a little quiet although if he talked about science the man could go on for hours and it was entirely possible for his voice to get louder as well.

"Oh just the fact that the gang had killed Peter's adopted parents and uncle," Bucky got quieter as he went along and stuffed his mouth full of bacon at the end while everyone else at the table went quiet.

May's fork clattered to the table and suddenly she was gone, rushing out of her seat and towards supposedly a bathroom. Peter was tempted to follow but saw Clint watch her and then look at Peter. Peter gave him a small pleading look and Clint nodded, following after May.

Peter turned to look at everyone who all seemed to be deep in thought.

"So," Thor frowned, looking confused. "I must confess I am confused."

"Honestly, so am I," Sam nodded.

"Peter is mine and Tony's son," Natasha explained. "Peter was kidnapped by Richard and Mary Parker who must have been apart of the gang and they took him in before they were killed and Peter was given to May and Ben. Ben died about a year ago."
