Hey guys I'm sorry for my lack of updating on my other story, but I'm having serious writer's block and it's quite frustrating. This idea came into my mind and so I've decided to write this one shot to get the creative juices flowing. Maybe by writing something else I'll get back into the writer mojo and find inspiration for the next chapter of You May have Saved Me. I hope you guys enjoy this little fanfic :)
Disclaimer: I don't own the Avengers or Spider-man no matter how many times I wish it so.

The first basically just follows the script until after Cap lifts the hammer (so definitely do not own)- after, that's when my twist comes in haha :)
"Whatever man, it's a trick." Clint said, twirling a drumstick.
Thor laughs and invites him to try, "Please be my guest."
"Really?" Clint asks as he walks up to the hammer, determined.
"Clint, you've had a tough week. We won't hold it against you if you can't get it up." Tony jests and the others jeer.
"You know I've seen this before right?" Clint tells Thor right before he tries to lift the hammer and can't, but just laughs it off and praises Thor. He challenges Tony when he laughs, who steps right up, since he doesn't step down from an honest challenge.
"It's physics. If I lift it, do I get to rule Asgard?"
"Yes, of course." Thor replied, sounding confident because he knew Tony wouldn't be able to lift Mjolnir.
"I will be fair, but firmly cruel." Tony haughtily replies.
"No, I'm sure."
No surprise to Thor, Tony can't lift the hammer. Tony goes to get the glove of his suit, which doesn't do anything to help at all. When Iron Patriot comes to help nothing changes.
"Are you even pulling?" Rhodes asked Tony when the two of them couldn't lift it.
"Are you on my team?"
"Just represent, pull."
"Alright, let's go."
Thor just laughed at their futile attempts.
Bruce made a joke out of it and pretended to scare everyone by fake hulking out. Everyone just looked at him and he slowly lowered his hands.
Steve walked up to the hammer, rolling up his sleeves.
Thor's smile vanished from his face when the hammer moved a little, but it came back, albeit a little troubled looking, when Steve couldn't in the end.
'Sir, Parker has entered the building and is heading to his lab now.' Jarvis informed Tony.
"Parker?" Natasha raised an eyebrow.
"Peter Parker. Smart kid. He's been working for me about six months now. He reminds me of myself at that age." Tony laughed thinking about the similarities he and Peter possessed. "Jarvis, bring him here. You guys will love him."
"Do you think that's a good idea Tony? I mean…" Bruce sounded unsure as he gestured to him and the others in the room.
The elevator dinged signaling its arrival.
"Well too late now." Tony said with a smile on his face.
Peter walked out of the elevator with his head down looking at some new models for his web shooters. He often came to the tower at night to work; Tony had given him a badge that let him in at all hours of the day.
Tony laughed as he saw Peter get off the elevator looking down, oblivious to his surroundings.
"Whatcha looking at kid?"
Peter jumped and had to resist sticking the ceiling and hanging like a spider. He looked around and noticed for the first time that he was definitely not in his lab.
"Uh… I'm sorry Tony. I told Jarvis to take me to the lab, I don't know why he…" Peter stopped and looked Tony right in the eye and saw a twinkle there. Tony had done this, of course.
"Surprise! You're just in time! We're seeing if anyone can lift Thor's hammer. Come give it a try." Tony goaded Peter as he beckoned him over.
"I don't want to intrude. It looks like you're trying to have a relaxing time with some friends. I'm sure you don't want some twenty year old kid crashing." Peter said as he backpedaled to the elevator.
"Nonsense good friend! Join the fun and try to lift Mjlonir!" Thor said enthusiastically with a smile on his face.
"I uh…." Peter was at a loss as to what to do.
"Just humor the guy will you." Natasha said with an encouraging smile.
Peter looked around nervously, but saw smiles on on everyone's face so he stepped up.
"So what you just want me to lift the hammer? What exactly is this going to do?" Peter asked, confused as to why they were all eager for him to try.
Peter grasped the handle of the hammer and prepared for it to be heavy. He was not expecting the hammer to feel so light as he slowly lifted the hammer up.
"Okay I lifted the hammer up, is there anything else you wanted me to do for no reason before I go to the lab?" Peter didn't mean to sound snooty, but he was a little annoyed that there was this build up and in the end it was just a joke.
Peter looked up when he had not gotten a reply and found everyone in the room staring at him with their jaws to the floor.
"Uh… Is something wrong?" Peter began to worry and set the hammer down.
"You lifted the hammer…" Tony sounded awestruck.
"Yeah, you asked me to…" Peter still didn't understand.
"Whosoever holds this hammer, if he be worthy, shall possess the power of Thor." Bruce said, looking at Peter in a new light.
"I've never seen anyone lift this other than myself. My father will most certainly be shocked to hear that there is a mortal worthy of my power." Thor mused, trying to hide how scared he was at learning there was someone else worthy of his power.
"Oh I... uh... I'm sorry." Peter wasn't really sure how he should react in this situation. It's not everyday that you're told you are worthy to possess the power of Thor, a god. "I'm sure it made a mistake."
"Why doubt yourself?" Bruce asked, smiling because that comment just made Peter even more worthy in his eyes.
Natasha smiled a shook her head and whispered to herself, "Of course someone who can lift Thor's hammer is somehow connected to us."
Peter just looked at the ground, blushing, in response to Bruce's question. He certainly wasn't worthy. He let two of the most important people in his life die, how does that amount to him be worthy of the power of Thor. He can't even protect those close to him.
"I've made mistakes, big ones at that, and those make me unworthy." Peter said, so sure.
"Kid, everyone makes mistakes, it's human nature to." Clint piped up from sitting on the floor.
"Not when you're mistakes cost people their lives." Peter said solemnly.
"Look you know I'm not the comforting type…" Tony started.
"Ain't that the truth." Steve said which made him receive a glare.
"As I was saying, I'm not the comforting type, but I know you and you're a good kid. I'm sure that there was nothing you could do. It is not your fault that people died kid, you're only human. As long as you know that you tried your hardest and gave it your all, then you have succeeded. I'm sure those who died don't blame you at all." Tony consoled Peter and shocked everyone with his sentimental words.
Before Pepper could comment about the beautiful words spoken by Tony there was a blast from the wall.
"Wasn't that cute." Came an eerie voice from the destroyed body of a robot.
Well I hope you guys liked this! It has been in my mind for some time now. I think since I have gotten this idea down I can finally focus my attention back on my other story and try to complete it :)
