Twenty-Two: Children Laughter

Avenger's Tower

"Peter, where are you?" Steve asked but he was smiling. He could hear laughing in the other end of the couch.

'Giggle,' Peter hid behind the couch hoping not to get found.

"Found you," he screamed at seeing Tony standing there and getting him.

"No, fair," Peter said. "Jarvis, helped,"

"Hey kid, you doubt my sight," Tony said with a smile. It had been two months and SHIELD had been trying to find another family that were related to Peter. It seemed they were not having luck and to the surprise of many both Steve and Tony had been taking care of Peter for everything. They had also been speaking behind the scenes and SHIELD did not know.

"Captain Rogers?"

"Yes, Jarvis what is it?" Steve asked.

"Agent Coulson is coming up it seems that he has some news," Jarvis told him. Steve and Tony looked at each other and tried not to be disappointed. Tony held Peter a little bit closer to him.

"Come on buddy, we are about to see Agent," Tony said with a smile, but it didn't reach his eyes.

"Agent," Peter repeated. Coulson was waiting for them and with them was woman.

"Agent Coulson?" Steve asked.

"Captain, Mr. Stark, may I present you Mrs. Walters she is the current case worker for Peter," he said.

"How can we help you?" Tony asked.

"Well I have come to take Peter," she told them with a soft smile.

"What?" Steve asked.

"Did you not tell them Phil?" she asked him.

"I was getting to it," Phil told her annoyed that she was incredibly blunt in telling them. It surprised him, as this was not something she normally did.

"Jarvis, can you call Darcy to come and pick up Peter," Tony said.

"Actually..." Mrs. Walters began to speak but stopped when Steve looked at her. They didn't have to wait long before Darcy appeared.

"Hey Peter," Darcy said coming to get him from Tony. Peter looked at Steve and Tony and waved bye. Once they were alone Tony turned and basically exploded.

"What is your problem lady?" Tony snapped.

"I have no problem," She said but they all knew that there was a problem.

"There obviously is if you just told us about this in front of Peter," Tony said.

"Phil, did you just come in to take Peter,"

"No…Yes," Phil and Mrs. Walters both responded.

"What do you mean?" Steve asked.

"I actually came to let you know that we couldn't find any other family members for Peter," Phil told them.

"Phil is also aware that since no family members could be found the young boy needs to come with me," Mrs. Walters told them.

"I'm sorry," Phil told them.

"Are you?" Tony asked. Steve touched his shoulder trying to calm him down., as they had an Ace on their sleeve.

"Tony," Phil said. "He wasn't going to stay forever,"

"Please bring Mr. Parker back and gets his suitcase ready," Mrs. Walters said with a smile and Phil was annoyed.

"Actually Mrs. Walters, we both looked into this actually happening," Steve told her with a soft smile.

"What do you mean?" Mrs. Walters asked.

"Well we knew that this might happen," Tony said with a smirk. "We also know that we wanted to keep Peter in our lives,"

"Is that so," Mrs. Walters asked them.

Gotham City

Clark arrived homed and he didn't hear anyone in the Manor except for Alfred, but he knew that was normal from Bruce.

"Master Clark you are home?" Alfred said with a smile.

"Alfred, where is Bruce?" Clark asked.

"He went to visit someone," Alfred told him.

"Who?" Clark asked suddenly worried.

"I believe he needs to tell you," Alfred said. He left Clark standing there and he began to get more worried. At that moment he heard laughter it was a young boy, he began to walk until he got to the main room and still heard the laughter, and he looked up and saw a little boy on the chandelier.

"Oh, my Rao!" He said. The little boy stopped and looked at him in shock and he let go falling from the chandelier. Clark reacted automatically and went to catch him., he was suddenly assaulted by a crying little boy.

"Richard!" Clark looked down to see Bruce standing there. The little boy had his eyes close and he was shaking.

"Shh…your alright," Clark said calmly rubbing his back.

"Your home," Bruce said with a smile but worried about Richard at the same time.

"I am," Clark said with a smile that he returned. "I arrived to a little boy in our chandelier,"

"Yes, Richard likes high places," Bruce says with a smile. "Richard, this is my husband Clark," Bruce says. Clarks looked at the little boy who is looking at him through his fingers.

"Hello," Clark said. Richard looked over to Bruce and back to Clark.

"Hi," He said before covering his face again. Bruce open his arms and Clark switch Richard over to him.

"Do you want to go make dessert with Alfred?" Bruce asked.

"Okay," Richard said. They both saw Richard go with Alfred.

"Alright, what happened?" Clark asked. "Because unless we had a child in the two months I was gone,"

"There was an accident and Richard was in danger, I volunteered to let him stay," Bruce told him.

"What do you mean?"

"Come on," Bruce said and began to walk toward his office.

Clark was in shock after Bruce showed him everything that had happened with him gone.

"Did you capture him already?" Clark asked.

"No, he seems to have gone underground," Bruce said annoyed.

"I will help than," Clark told him.

"Are you…"

"Yes, it isn't right Bruce and I know from you that its terrible if he doesn't get justice," Clark told him.

"Very well,"

"Does he know?" Clark asked.

"About our life, I didn't want to find out, but he is a curious child," Bruce told him.

"We will help him, but do you want to keep him?" Clark asked. Bruce looked at him with wide eyes.

'What do you mean?"

"You know, we already opened the doors for him, it would be easier if we opened the doors completely to him,"

"Do you want to?" Bruce asked.

"I know that you want to and as long as we do it together, he will be happy,"
