"Tony!" I called through the house, looking for him. Wolverine was on the phone and he said Peter was out at the school with some other kids. I think he mentioned Deadpool. I had been working on the bills and going through mail with Pepper when I'd gotten the call.

"Sir, Mr. Stark is currently in his lab." Jarvis informed me.

"Thanks Jarvis." I told him as I headed downstairs. I saw Tony doing target practice. When I entered he'd moved over to his computer and started typing away about something. "Tony, Wolverine called-"

"I don't speak animal and I'm busy right now." He said, not even bothering to look at me.

"James, from the X Men, is on the phone and he says that Peter is at the school. He wants to wait there until someone comes and picks him up." At the mention of Peter's name, Tony finally looked at me.

"Peter got busted for sneaking out some time ago. He'd not do it again, especially so soon Steve. He's obviously lying." Anthony can be a really stubborn man at times. I however translated his words into something nicer for Wolverine.

"Logan, can you provide proof that Peter's there, perhaps put him on the phone?"

"Sure. Come here kid." Logan demanded and a few seconds later Peter was on the line. I put the phone on speaker.

"Steve?" Peter asked hesitantly. Tony rolled his eyes.

"Jarvis, tell Steve that Peter's in his room doing homework or sleeping."

"I wish I could sir." Tony frowned.

"What do you mean you wish you could? Just tell him." He ordered.

"But sir, Peter is not in the house." Tony finally relented.

"Thank you Peter. That will be all. Put Logan back on the phone. Tony, I want you to go get Peter." I told him, taking my phone off speaker. He shook his head.

"I was the bad guy last time. You go get him this time."

"What are you talking about?"

"I punished him last time. You didn't."

"If I go get him, it'll take longer."

"It's not my fault that you wanted to be involved with his upbringing." Tony was trying to talk his way out of doing what I asked him. I knew he didn't mean it as an insult or anything. I covered my mouth with my hand, exasperated that he was using that as an excuse though.

"If I just left you to- forget it Anthony. I'm not going to argue with you. We'll talk about this later." I told him. "Go help Pepper with your mail while I go get Peter." He rolled his eyes, sighing.

"I didn't ask you to do that, you know." He said. "Jarvis, keep this on record. I'm finished for today." He said and headed toward the stairs and I headed up too, to go get Peter.

(Peter)

I waited hoping my parents wouldn't be too angry. I didn't even get to say a word about what I did, Steve didn't even talk to me… I'm so dead. What did I get out of this? Nothing! I watched Deadpool trying to have fun by pretending to fight something. However, Logan kept throwing him back on the ground when he brought out his guns. Can't he see what situation he's in? What situation we're all in?

I heard a car pull up and saw Steve walk out. I hurried over to him. Wade smiled over at me, waving. "Bye friend!"

"We're not friends!" I shouted at him. He frowned.

"Aw. Don't be like that. Our friendship should be known! It's not like we're gay." He replied. "Hey Captain USA!"

"Shut up!" Logan yelled. I heard Wade begin to argue with Logan as Steve led me into the car and then he went back around to the driver's side. He drove the car towards the house. The ride was silent. Until we parked in the garage.

"Peter? What were you doing over there?" He asked.

"I was with Deadpool and the other X kids." I don't want to tell him about the grades thing but I don't want to lie either!

"What was Deadpool doing?" He asked. I looked at him quickly. "Yes, I'm going to have to tell Fury about what happened there but first I need you to tell me what happened." Then an idea came to me. It was practically what we were doing.

"Deadpool wasn't doing anything dangerous, he was just trying to see if he could enter the school system without being caught."

"So breaking and entering. And you joined him?"

"I was trying to stop him!"

"Even so, you still left after curfew… a day after you were disciplined for doing so." I gulped as we entered my room. "Before we decide on doing anything, I know you know you shouldn't leave after curfew because it's one of our rules but do you know why it's dangerous to leave after curfew?"

"… I don't see why it's dangerous. I'm supposed to fight crime and crime is the only thing dangerous out there."

"Actually, accidents happen. You could have been hurt. And some of those crime starters are super villains and the ones you're not familiar with could kill you. We all remember that Doom bot mistake." I blushed.

"That wasn't my fault! Nova wanted to prove we were real superheroes!" I defended.

"Maybe you should be learning how to say no to peer pressure. I noticed Edward Brock and Harry Osborn weren't there."

"Yeah."

"Do you understand why I have to punish you?" I nodded, looking down. He used his index finger to make me look at him. "Do you understand that I love you and don't want you to get hurt?" I nodded. "Good. Just because Tony and I punish you doesn't mean we don't love you any less." I nodded again and he gently pulled me over his lap and pulled down my pants. "Since it was only yesterday that you were caught out after curfew I want to make sure it gets through to you."

"I understand." I told him. I felt the first smack a few seconds later and jolted. That hurt! Of course it does. He delivered another swat and I yelped and then he started up a rhythm. I bit my lip to try to keep quiet but as he finished my bottom and started on my sit spots it got harder and harder to keep quiet until I started yelping at every swat.

"Peter, tell me why you shouldn't break your curfew."

"Because I might encounter a super villain I'm not familiar with!" I yelped between cries of pain.

"Can you tell me when you're curfew is?"

"Eight!" I cried, kicking involuntarily.

"Will you cut curfew again?" He asked. I shook my head vigorously. "I want a verbal answer Peter." He warned.

"No sir!" I sobbed. He delivered a few more swats before stopping. He gently pulled my pants back up before sitting me in his lap as comfortable as possible. I heard the door open again and looked over to see Tony walking in. He started rubbing my back and Steve was hugging me.

A while later I'd been put into bed, tucked in by Steve and Tony, and Steve and Tony were talking about what they might tell Fury about today. A few minutes later Tony looked at me.

"Hey kid. Tomorrow's Saturday. That means you don't have a curfew. So… I was wondering if you might want to spend the day with me. I'm building you a spider suit. It's like my Iron Man suit but it's being built for you. I need a fitting done. What do you say?" He asked. I grinned, nodding my head.

"I would love to spend the day with you guys." I replied.
