Wow I'm glad people actually like this! :D I always get shocked when people review or favorite one of my stories because I don't think they are really good, but it seems some people do. SO thank you all! : D

Peter racked his brain for some excuse that would seem plausible. Being in front of someone he admired made his brain turn to mush and it was hard to come up with something. He had an idea in mind, but it was a little weary and probably wouldn't fool Tony. It was worth a shot though.

"Sleepwalking." Peter said, disturbing the awkward silence.

"Really kid?" Tony asked in udder disbelief.

"I have a pretty extreme case. My doctor said I have the most extreme case he has every seen. I mean if this is nothing to prove by it. I guess my Aunt forgot to lock the door." Peter said with a surprisingly unwavering voice.

"Cut the bullshit." Tony demanded, clearly not in the mood.

"I'm serious! I've actually had to go to the hospital on multiple occasions because I have gotten hurt while sleepwalking." Peter didn't know where these lies kept coming from, but they sounded good to him.

"Kid I know what sleepwalking looks like and you most certainly don't suffer from it." Tony sighed.

"Well you might want to tell my doctor that." Peter retorted, not giving up his facade.

"I have security cameras all over the place. Should we watch the tape?" Tony challenged.

Peter froze. He knew he was busted and there was no escaping from telling the truth. Honestly he wasn't scared about Tony finding out about him being Spider-Man, but he didn't want to remind himself what a failure he was. He couldn't even kill himself properly…

"Fine. It was what it looked like so I'll just be getting back to it." Peter sighed. He knew Tony would never let him go, but might as well try.

"Oh no kid you're not going anywhere." Tony grabbed him by the wrist and ushered him inside.

Peter was not expecting to see all the Avengers lounging on a giant couch that stretched for miles.

"Finally decide to come back to the land of the living eh Stark?" Clint asked glancing over towards the door. "And somehow you go out alone and come in with another person…"

As Clint said that everyone turned towards them and looked straight at Peter. Peter shifted around, uncomfortable with having all the attention on himself.

"I was actually just leaving…" Peter trailed off heading towards the elevator that he spotted as soon as he stepped into the room.

"Not happening kid. We have to talk about your little escapade." Tony sounded serious so the others knew it must be big.

"What he do? Try to sneak into the building? That wouldn't be a first, but then again you never brought any of the other people up here so that's not it. Did he video tape you lounging outside? Oh boy that's got to be it!" Clint gave off rapid fire suggestions.

"Neither! Now shut up Clint!" Tony yelled with a roll of his eyes. Clint huffed and crossed his arms.

"There is nothing to talk about! I just want to go home now so I'm leaving!" Peter shouted and stalked over to the stairs because he knew they would be faster to get away than the elevator.

"Oh no you're not!" Tony ran and caught Peter's arm in a tight grip which wasn't a match for Peter's strength. "Thor you're up buddy!"

Thor got up from the couch quickly and easily subdued Peter, who he caught up to two flights down. Peter struggled in Thor's grip even though his strength was nothing compared the Thor from Norse mythology.

"Put me down!" Peter yelled while twisting and kicking his dangling legs.

"I'm sorry child, but the Man of Iron sounds serious so something big must have happened. I can't let you go." Thor talked in a soothing voice hoping to lull the kid into a calmer state, but it was still loud.

Thor brought Peter back into the main room where the rest of the Avengers were waiting for them. They were all looking at him curiously, minus Tony, as though they were trying to figure out what was wrong. Peter didn't meet any of their eyes and decided to stare off into space.

"I'm just trying to help you. Please let me- let us help you." Tony pleaded.

"I don't need any help. I knew what I was doing! I was finally going to be happy again, but you ruined it!" Peter yelled, still in Thor's arms. He could feel tears leaking down his face, but he couldn't wipe them away since his arms were restrained. Peter started to feel exhausted so he laid his head on Thor's shoulder and was out in seconds.

"Uh… the child fell asleep." Thor stated so he went over to the couch and laid the child on the couch and made sure he had a pillow and blanket.

"What exactly did you find him doing Tony?" Bruce asked quietly. Bruce had a good idea in mind from the pieces of conversation, but he hoped he was wrong.

"He was…" Tony actually choked up a little. "He was trying to kill himself."

Everyone froze at that and Bruce just looked sadly at the kid, wondering what drove him to this point.

"Why don't we go to bed and take turns keeping watch?" Thor suggested from the back.

"Sounds good. I'll take first watch." Tony sighed as he sat down next to Peter on the long couch. He unconsciously started to weave his fingers through the boys hair. "You know I just realized that we don't even know the kids name."

"That will be the first thing we ask tomorrow. I'll take second watch." Steve spoke barely above a whisper and nodded to everyone.

They each made their way to their rooms while Tony sat on the couch still running his hands through the tousled brown hair of the kid he was going to save.

Well there ya go : D I hope you guys liked it! :) OKAT SO I CHANGED IT TO THOR because people brought to my attention that Spider-Man is stronger than Steve so :P
