You're On Speaker - Pepper
Disclaimer ~ I do not own Avengers
*The one where Pepper calls Peter in the middle of his class*
This time, Peter received the phone call when he was on the bus ride home from a Decathlon competition. It was one of the rare occasions that everything went like expected during the trip. They arrived, competed, won, and went home without any crimes or unexpected happenings. Just your average field trip with a bunch of science geeks.
Peter was still riding the high of their victory, chatting eagerly about it with Ned. So when he got the call, he was only too happy to answer. Nothing (except maybe the end of the world) could ruin his good mood.
"Hey Pepper! You're on speaker," Peter said.
"Hi Peter! Congrats on winning your meet," Pepper's voice said. Peter could hear how proud she was and smiled wider (if such a thing was possible).
"Thanks! But uhh. How did you know? I haven't had the chance to tell anyone yet," Peter asked confused. Pepper huffed in amusement.
"Tony sent a drone to watch. Everyone was watching in the lounge," Pepper explained. Peter sighed. That was definitely something Tony would do. He really wasn't surprised.
"By everyone you mean?" Peter held onto the thin thread of hope that it meant a lot less people then he suspected. Pepper knew exactly what he was thinking as she replied.
"Sorry sweetie. I mean everyone. You didn't hear this from me but they're planning a surprise party to celebrate," Pepper told him.
"Thanks for the warning," Peter said.
"You're welcome," Pepper said laughing. There was a pause for a second before she continued. "I hate to ask this but could you babysit Morgan for me this weekend? I have to attend a conference," she said.
"Of course I'll watch Morgan. But what about Tony? Is he going with you?" Peter asked curiously.
"I was actually hoping you'd watch him too? He has a new project and we both know how he gets," Pepper said. Peter chuckled. That made more sense.
"Yeah I'll watch him too. Dinner at seven. In bed by eleven," Peter said. Pepper laughed.
"Thanks Peter. I really appreciate it," Pepper told him. Peter couldn't help but smile.
"I should be thanking you. I need any excuse I can get to steal Morgan away from Happy," Peter joked, earning another laugh from Pepper.
"I'll call you again later to check in. Keep me updated if anything happens," Pepper said.
"Of course. Love you," Peter said.
"Love you too sweetie. I'll see you Sunday night at the latest," Pepper said before she hung up. Peter our the phone away and returned to the conversation he was having with Ned and MJ. Now he just had to act surprised for his party.
It took me a bit longer than planned to finish this chapter, but in my defense I've been working/planning some other chapters. And I keep finding characters to add to my list of phone calls. Whoops.
I have no idea who I'm gonna have call next, but I'm thinking the next chapter is going to be a normal oneshot. I've been trying to finish it forever and I think I finally hit a breakthrough. I planned it out, so all that's left is to finish writing it. That'll be my next project for now.
I hope you all enjoyed this chapter as well! Please continue to Review, Favorite, and Follow! I'll try to have the next update ready soon!
