Chapter 3
Oh my god! I feel so bad about not updating. But here's the next chapter so I hope you enjoy it (even though it sucks) :)
WARNING: AOU SPOILERS
Disclaimer: I don't own anything if I did Peter would've been in AOU and Superfamily would be canon.
Peter was on the couch watching TV when he heard the elevator door open with its usual ping. He turned his head around to the Avengers walking, some limping, out of the elevator. Peter jumped up and went towards his dads.
"Thank God you two are alright." Peter said happily and he hugged them.
"Um, excuse me I got hurt and you're hugging your dads?" Clint exclaimed. "I should be the one getting hugged."
Peter laughed and went towards his uncle and gave him a hug that lasted a couple seconds. "I'm happy that you're not dead, Katniss."
Clint smiled at Peter as Peter went to hug the rest of the Avengers.
"So, what happened?" Peter asked as they all sat down on the couch.
"We got the tesseract but there were some weird things going on over there." Tony said.
"Weird?" Peter asked.
"There was this one girl that controlled my mind and I saw all of you dead." Tony said.
"And there was this one guy who can run really fast." Natasha added.
"You did not see that coming?" Clint said in a Russian accent.
Peter gave him a questioning glace.
"That's what the fast guy said after he nearly murdered me."
"Ah." Peter said. "Well, I'm happy that you guys are alright."
Steve smiled. "We are too. Let's have a family movie night tonight. Sound good?"
Peter nodded. "But I still want to hear more about that mission."
"There's not much to tell kid, besides the fact of those two people having weird powers." Tony said.
"Are you guys not worried about this? They could be a major threat!" Peter exclaimed.
"They're nothing that we can't handle." Bruce said.
"They're nothing you can't handle until you know more about them." Peter said. "Shouldn't you guys be doing more research on these people?"
"Peter's right." Steve said.
"Okay, I'll do it…after this movie." Tony said.
"The movie can wait." Steve said.
Tony rolled his eyes at his husband but got up anyway.
"Pietro and Wanda Maximoff." Tony said as he walked into the room. "They're twins who were orphaned and are now known as quicksilver and the Scarlet Witch. He's super-fast and she's really weird." Steve nodded in response.
"Can we watch the movie now?" Tony asked, sounding like a five year old.
Steve laughed, "Sure."
"No Wizard of Oz!" Clint exclaimed.
"Pops you got to get over the fact that movies are in colour now." Peter advised him.
"Alright fine, what movie do you guys want to watch?"
They ended up picking the Hunger Games because Clint wouldn't stand for anything else. After the movie was over everyone was asleep. Peter was asleep between Steve and Tony. Clint was asleep on Natasha's legs. Natasha was asleep on Bruce's chest and Bruce was asleep on Thor's shoulder.
The next morning they were all sitting at the table eating and throwing food at each other.
"You know I really wished I could've gone." Peter said.
Steve sighed. "Pete, honey, we've been over this. You're way too young to go on missions with us."
"I'm fully trained. My training with Natasha ended a couple weeks ago." Peter pointed out.
"I know it did and maybe when you're of age you can. But right now? Just stick to being a teenager. You'll miss it when you're older." Steve said.
Peter sighed and went back to his eggs.
"How are your exams going, Pete?" Tony asked.
School was almost over for this year. There were only a couple weeks until his final exams were over and summer would be here.
"Great." Peter replied. "I know I aced my AP Chem exam and I think I did pretty well on my math. English and Socials sucked though but I know I passed."
"Well it's a good thing you're going into sciences." Bruce said.
"I'm not that bad at English." Peter told his uncle.
"I never said you were." Bruce told him.
"But you implied it."
"I did no such thing."
Peter laughed. "Alright, Uncle Bruce, you win."
Peter woke up early that morning. He groaned and rubbed the sleep out of his eyes and went quietly downstairs, careful not to wake anyone up.
When he got to the kitchen he heard voices. Peter stopped in his tracks and hid behind a corner. He didn't know why but he felt like he shouldn't be hearing this conversation.
"Artificial intelligence," Peter heard Bruce say.
"It's the bigger and better Jarvis, Bruce. It will create world peace." He heard his dad say. "You gotta help me on this." Tony basically begged.
"Tony, I don't know about this." Bruce said, sounding skeptical.
This is bogus. Peter thought. First he didn't get invited to go on the mission with the Avengers and now he's not allowed to get in on his dads science experiments. Peter didn't mean to be cocky but he was mid towns best a brightest, except for maybe Gwen.
Peter chose this time to walk into the kitchen to get something to eat. As his dad and uncle spotted him they quickly shut their mouths and turned their attention to Peter as if nothing had happened.
"Morning, Pete!" His dad said in a cheery voice.
Peter smiled in response.
"Do you have your outfit ready for the party tonight?" Tony asked.
"Uh, I was planning on just wearing a t-shirt and jeans." Peter said wondering if he should ask about this bigger and better Jarvis.
"Aw come one Pete. You gotta be more formal then that." Tony said.
"Fine I'll wear a dress shirt and jeans." Peter sighed.
"You okay Peter?" Bruce questioned.
Peter ignored his question. "So what's up with this new AI?" he asked.
"You overheard us didn't you?" Tony said.
"Yes." Peter snapped. "And I want some answers as well. I thought I was supposed to help you out on these things. I mean first it's not being allowed to go on the mission and now you're hiding things from me? You know I can help you out with this thing that you're doing."
"I know you can Pete but I don't think you should…maybe when you're older." Tony said biting into a piece of toast that was in his hand.
Peter scoffed. "That's everyone's excuses every time. Oh you're too young." Peter mocked.
Tony sighed. "Peter, this isn't something we're going to fight about. Just go get some breakfast and go back to your room."
Peter glared at his dad. "Fine." He snapped and grabbed the toast out of his dad's hand and went back up stairs.
Peter looked at his clock which read seven fourty-five. He had been shut in his room the entire day. His Pops came up a couple of times to check on him to ask if he was okay and if he wanted to talk about it. Peter told him to leave him alone every time. Sure he might be over reacting but there's only so much he could take. All he wanted was to feel equal among his family, but clearly he wasn't.
The party started at eight so he decided it was probably a good time to start getting ready. He stripped out of his pyjamas and into a pair of black skinny jeans and a black button up shirt. He kept the shirt untucked and the top buttons undone. He jelled up his hair and put his web shooters on just in case. He then went over to his closet and took out a pair of messed up black converse.
He took a look at himself in the mirror and thought he realised he was looking a bit Goth. He shrugged and glanced at the clock behind him. It read eight ten. Realizing that he was late he rushed down stairs to the party.
He walked down the stairs and looked around for someone he knew. He then spotted his dads and quickly headed over to them.
"Hey." He muttered as he got closer to them. He turned to his dad and said, "Sorry about this morning. I'm just so sick and tired of everyone saying I'm too young."
"It's okay Pete. Tell you what I'll take you out to a Yankees game this weekend." Tony told him.
Peter didn't have the heart to tell him that he didn't want to go so he agreed.
"Looking a little…dark there Peter." Clint said from behind him.
Peter shrugged. "Just be thankful I'm not wearing guy liner."
"No, no. I like this look on you. It's dark…like your soul." Clint said laughing at his own, terrible, joke.
Peter gave Clint a look that said why? "I think you've had a bit too much to drink." He laughed.
"What? No I-″ Clint was cut off when he tried to walk forward but failed as he tripped over his own feet and fell on his face. "Okay maybe a little."
Steve came over and replaced Clint's scotch with some water. Peter glanced at the bar to the right of him and saw Bruce and Natasha talking. He did a double take as he saw Bruce's cheeks change a shade brighter.
"No way." Peter breathed. Nat and Bruce were flirting! Peter gave a slight laugh and Steve looked at him questionably. Peter waved him off and headed towards his aunt and uncle.
Now, Peter has always been a cockblock. It's sort of been a hobby of his. He did it all the time with his parents an once or twice with Thor and Jane. Peter smirked as he got closer to them. They were definitely flirting.
"Hey guys!" Peter exclaimed in a cheery voice.
Bruce cleared his throat. "Peter!" he exclaimed.
Peter had to suppress a chuckle. "Yup that's my name." He said. He glanced over at Natasha who rolled her eyes, clearly knowing what he was doing.
Bruce began to get all flustered. "Are you okay? After what happened this morning?" He asked.
This time Peter did laugh. "Yeah I'm fine don't worry. How about you Bruce? You're looking a bit flustered there." He smirked.
"I'm uh fine. Thanks." Bruce said.
Peter nodded in response. "Okay good."
"I'm just going to go now."
Peter laughed as he watched his uncle leave. He then turned quickly to Natasha. "What's going on between you and Bruce?" He asked. Peter then gasped in a dramatic way. "Do you loooove him?" He drawled out.
Natasha rolled her eyes and shut that question down right away.
After a couple of hours all the guests began to trickle out of the tower until it was just him, the avengers, Rhodey, and agent Hill. They were all sitting around a coffee table and seeing who could pick up Mjolnir, Thor's hammer. Clint was complaining about how it was a trick and that it was stupid but went to pick it up anyways, of course he failed. Then his dad and Rhodey tried and failed after multiple attempts, Bruce tried and did some weird Hulk thing at the end that got everyone looking at him like he was crazy, and Natasha shut down the idea of her trying right away. Then his Pops tried and Mjolnir moved a little bit to everyone's surprise but not as shocked as Thor. Peter burst out laughing at the sight of Thor's face. Finally, it was Peter's turn to pick up the hammer.
Peter walked over to the hammer and rolled back his shoulders. "I got this." He said out loud before he grabbed the hilt of the hammer and pulled with all his might, of course, nothing happened. "I don't got this." He said as he sat down back on the couch. "I totally agree with Clint. This is definitely a trick."
Thor shrugged his shoulders and replied. "That's a very interesting theory but I have a better one. Your all not worthy." He said as he picked it up.
Peter and the rest of the group rolled their eyes at Thor. Peter went for a glass of who knows what on the coffee table but Steve quickly got to it before him and snatched it from the table. He gave Peter a look that said really? and Peter shrugged back.
Just then the lights began to flicker and a high pitch noise filled the room. Peter's hands flew towards his ears and he looked around with a puzzling look of his face. He opened his mouth to ask what that was but quickly closed it as a broken looking robot came stumbling through the hallway towards them.
"How could you be worthy?" The robot asked. "You're all puppets…tangled in…strings." The robot said in a creepy voice. "Strings." The robot repeated.
"Ultron." He heard Bruce state to the left of him.
Steve and Tony both stood up and stood in front of Peter who sat there, shocked.
"Tony…what is going on?" Steve muttered to his husband.
All of a sudden more robots that Tony designed flew through the air and went towards the team.
"Peter!" Steve exclaimed. "Go! Run!"
Peter refused. "No! I can help!"
"Peter now is not the time." Steve said in his Captain America voice.
Peter decided to ignore that comment and shot one of his webs at a flying robot and smashed it to the ground with all his might. The robot smashed into pieces on the ground.
He turned to smirk at his dads. Steve sighed and nodded. "Just be careful…okay?" and with that Steve was off in Captain America mode, fighting his heart out. Peter gave a satisfied smile and went to fight some more robots.
After getting a few of them one of them attacked him and sent Peter flying across the room. Peter landed as a heap on the ground and groaned.
"Peter!" He heard his dads yell. Natasha was closest to him and quickly killed he robot. She bolted over to Peter and helped him up.
"I'm fine." Peter assured her and his parents who were there. "Just a little hit to the head."
"Oh god you could have died!" Steve exclaimed.
Peter rolled his eyes. "Come on I've had worse things done to me by Flash. I'm fine."
Soon enough all the robots were destroyed and the only one left was the one named, as Bruce said, Ultron.
"I've realised," He began. "To destroy the Avengers I need to find their greatest weakness and I believe I've already found it…or should I say him." Ultron lifted a metal finger and pointed at Peter. Peter's heart sped up to a number that was probably not healthy. He felt Steve's hand grab his arm and pull him behind him.
"If you touch a hair on his head I swear-″ Tony never got to finish because Thor had destroyed Ultron with a bolt of lightning. Or he thought he destroyed it. Peter watched as Ultron's eyes came back alive and heard:
"I had strings but now I'm free."
AN: Alright so there's Chapter 3. I'm sorry that it sucked but at least I updated, right? Anyways, I'll try to update ASAP. Thanks for reading!
