AVENGER TOWER:
"Hey kid, you ok?" Tony said to the teen boy waking up from unconsciousness.
"What? What happened? I was trying to cheer Zhora up" Peter said slowing sitting up from a medical table, head foggy.
"Yeah, Sorry kid I forgot to tell you about the new security features on the tower. You knock on her window and you were zapped with a shock just enough to render intrudes unconscious. Zhora noticed you falling to the ground and got me, you were out all night." Tony explained.
"What! Last night was just a dream?!" Peter looked at Tony in shock. Tony nodded looking at the kid now leaning on the wall of the room.
"I'm guessing by your shock and jumping, your fine. Though kid, you should know you talk in your sleep 'My Peter'" Tony teased the last part as he walked out of the room leaving the teen red faced, before Peter had a chance to even get his thoughts straight when Zhora ran in.
"Peter the Parker are you ok?" She asked while she stopped by his bed side. Peter's head was still spinning from the fogginess and the embarrassment of his dream and the fact Mr. Stark knew.
"I got you to leave you room" Peter said with the same rambling like always, Zhora looked at him for a second and laughed at his awkwardness.
"I guess you did" she smiled at him. Peter's eyes met her shining purple ones for a moment and the dream flooded back to him mind. Making his face turn redder than she ever seen it, making her worry thinking that he is still hurt from last night making her call out for Tony before Peter could get a word out.
"He's just fine Zhora, but I do need to talk to him in private though." Tony said walking back into the room giving Zhora's dark green hair a small pat, turning to Peter. Zhora looked between Peter and Tony unsure what was happening, but walked out the door closing the door behind herself.
"Ok Kid, we need to have a serious talk" Tony said standing in Peter's view as Peter throws his legs over the side of the bed sitting properly.
"I know I should have been able to sense the new security" Peter said looking down at his blue spider-man boots.
"not that kid, well yes you should have but that's not the thing" Tony said talking his glasses off and holding them in his hand. Peter looked up at Mr. Stark waiting for him to continue.
"You like Zhora that much is obvious" Tony said, Peter was going to say an embarrassed no, but Tony put his hand up to stop the teen's excuse.
"Look Peter their nothing wrong with liking her, but she's only been on earth for a little over a month. She's been though hell, her race is being hunted down and killed. Just take things slow she needs a friend right now, not a love sick puppy drooling all over her." Tony said in his best dad voice to tell his 'Son' advice.
"yeah I understand Mr. Stark" Peter said looking at Tony for a moment longer before standing to his feet to leave.
"When or if you do decide to pursue her just be very sure, I don't think she could handle losing you as her friend" Tony said to Peter as he was leaving. Knowing the spider kid need time to think he let him go without another word. Peter walked into the commons room where Zhora was sitting and wait talking to Pepper. Her and Pepper looked up at Peter who walked in the room.
"Umm… I'm just going to head home May probably worried" Peter said awkwardly rubbing the back of his head.
"Ok, I'll give your communication device a word message later" Zhora said a bit confused by Peter behavior, as Pepper nodded at Peter's statement. Peter put on his mask and walked out the door and swung away on webs.
"What was wrong with Peter?" Zhora asked Pepper who took a second to think of words to explain.
"he's most likely just tired from getting shocked last night" Pepper said to Zhora to get her not to worry about her friend too much. She just ate for the first time in 4 days after locking herself in her room from grief of losing her father, the poor girl need a break Pepper though to herself.
"well I'm going to my room and watch some movies that friend Ned recommended, he said all humans have watched them" Zhora said standing after giving Pepper a hug. Pepper let out a small laugh.
"What Movies are those?" She questioned in amusement.
"Something called Star Wars, and Happy said he'd show me how to watch them on the Net of Flixs" Zhora said leaving the room as Tony entered the room. Tony patted Zhora head as he does as his average greeting to her, she just smiled up at him as she walked past. Leaving Pepper and Tony alone. Tony walked over to couch where Pepper was and sat next to her with a sigh.
"what are we going to do with these kids of ours " Tony said looking over a Pepper. Pepper just smiled amused.
"our Kids?" Pepper joked back.
"Yes our kids, Mama" Tony laughed, leaning over and gave Pepper a small kiss on the lips.
