Harley - 15 / Peter - 14 | TonyxPepper
Description - Hi all! This is a request again, where Tony takes Peter and Harley to meet Clint's family. Peter and Harley quickly befriend his eldest, Cooper. This is an overly wholesome chapter which is a nice break from the angst train this book is!
Tony was woken up harshly by Pepper's pillow. He took a moment to get his bearings before looking to Pepper, who was dressed and ready to run a business, stood next to the bed,
"You have places to be, the boys are eating breakfast, hurry up." Pepper wasted no time before leaving the room, a meeting or some contracts needing her attention. Tony turned back to face his pillow, he hardly went anywhere in recent times, he much preferred having no schedule and being able to tinker in the lab with his sons whenever he wanted and so was almost completely confused about where he was meant to go today.
Almost.
A second later and two figures bundled into the room and tackled Tony,
"Dad! Get up!" Harley yelled
"Tony! Come on were gonna be late!" Peter whined while hitting him lightly, which, coming from Peter was actually relatively painful but, not wanting to upset the kid who had only gotten his powers a few months ago, ignored it.
Groaning, Tony swatted at the boys before they fell next to him, "Alright, I'm up, where are we going again?" Tony asked while rubbing his eyes,
"Clint's" Harley supplied, pushing Peter, who had fallen on top of him when Tony had pushed them, off. Tony inwardly groaned, he had to see Katniss enough as it was when he came in for briefings or missions at least once a month.
"Fine, get out," Tony said. Peter and Harley scampered out. They liked to play with Clint when he came round and were excited to go to his.
Tony came out into the living room about 5 minutes later, now fully dressed. Peter was on sat on the ceiling and Harley was jumping trying to grab something that Peter clearly had, "come on you two, jets waiting," Tony said, making his presence known. Peter jumped down and Harley grabbed his bag off the sofa, following Tony to the jet. Peter running to catch up a few moments later.
It took less than 10 minutes to get them airborne. Both boys still were still slightly anxious over flying seeing as neither had been on a plane for the first 10+ years of their lives. Peter was understandably slightly more anxious considering how his parents died in a plane. Tony held the boys' hands, Harley, from over the table and Peter's who was sat next to him over the small walkway. After they were safely airborne both boys seemed to calm down and started to play Mario Kart together on the switch Peter had bought, Tony smiled watching them before grabbing his stark tablet and messing with some blueprints.
A couple of hours passed, the boys alternated between games and talking and Tony slept, catching up on his interrupted sleep from the morning. The plane descended onto the farm at just past noon, the sun beaming while the Barton family emerged from their home, Clint and his son Cooper leaving Lila and Laura, holding Nathaniel, on the deck while they ran to greet the arrivals.
Peter and Harley were the first off the jet, Harley pushing Peter slightly to get off first. Peter getting his own back by webbing Harley's bag, pulling him back a bit so he could catch up. The two boys bickering slightly as they walked forward,
"Boys," Tony warned as he pulled himself off the jet, flashing a quick smile at Clint and Cooper. Harley glared playfully at Peter before standing still and waiting for his father, seemingly oblivious to the two people stood meters away. Peter also stopped but had clocked the archer and son.
Tony caught up with the boys a second later and pushed Harley forward a bit to face Clint, Harley's face dropped before breaking out into a grin,
"Boys, meet Clint Barton and his son... Carlos?"
"Cooper," Cooper corrected,
"Sorry, anyway this is Harley Keener, son 1, an engineer in the making and a pain in my ass," Harley grunted in protest, "And this is Peter Parker, son 2, also a pain in my ass and-"
"Spider-Man," Clint cut Tony off, stepping forward and shaking Peter's hand," Peter looked surprised and slightly dumbstruck as he let his hand be shook, " I saw you web the bag kid," Clint laughed, Peter relaxed slightly and offered a small smile before Clint stepped away to talk to Tony, leaving the kids together,
"Hi I'm Cooper," Cooper supplied again,
"Harley."
"Peter."
"So your actually Spider-Man?" Cooper couldn't help but pry, he was so fascinated by the avengers and since his dad had retired he had been craving more modern tales of heroism and although he would never tell his dad, Thor was his favourite avenger and Spider-Man was his second.
"Yeah, bout 2 years now,"
"Awesome," the conversation sagged slightly as Cooper thought, "Hey come on I have an idea," Cooper said before running off, Harley and Peter shrugged at each other before taking off after the 13 year old,
"Hey you kids don't be causing any trouble," Clint yelled,
"Yeah and if you break something I'll tell Pepper!" Tony yelled after.
The boys ran all the way into the house, Harley and Peter stopping on the deck,
"Hi I'm Harley and this is Peter," Harley greeted Laura, Lila and Nathaniel who was a toddler but wiggled around enthusiastically in Laura's arms,"
"Hi," Laura replied, smiling at the two boys before Cooper ran back, only just realising the two weren't with him,
"Cmon!" He moaned, tugging Harley's sleeve, he looked to Lila slightly, "You can come too if you want," He mentioned before running off again, this time with Harley, Peter and Lila in tow. Cooper led the three to his and Lila's shared bedroom, "Pranks." Cooper blurted as soon as they entered the room,
"What?" Harley asked, confused if he'd heard him or not,
"Pranks! Don't tell me you've never pulled any?!" Cooper exclaimed, pulling a box out from under his bed,
"Oh for god sake," Lila rolled her eyes
"Oh hell yeah!" Harley exclaimed, diving to the box,
"Would Clint get annoyed, I don't want to piss him off as soon as we arrive," Peter hesitantly asked, he'd never been as extroverted as Harley, at least when he was just Peter.
"Oh yeah, Dad's cool with pranks, we have prank wars weekly, whoever wins at the end of the week gets to decide the takeout," Cooper beamed as Harley pulled out a large bottle of glue, and Peter grinned, coming to also look in the box.
"Hey you know what could be really useful in pranks?" Harley mused, the two other boys shrugged, "Spider webs." Cooper immediately burst out grinning and turned to Peter,
"Oh if you lot are pulling pranks I don't want to be involved," Lila groaned before turning to walk out the room,
"You wont snitch right Lil?" Cooper asked,
"Only as long as I'm not the target," Lila responded before walking downstairs. The boys formulated many ideas and mechanisms before narrowing down the best pranks and starting prep for them.
An hour passed of diligent working, Harley was engineering a simple mechanism while Cooper was planning out exactly how the prank would go and Peter was fiddling with his webshooters. It wasn't long before operation GLTR was ago.
The first step was to ensure everyone was outside which was easy as it was a nice day and everyone was already outside. It was Cooper and Peter's job to keep them there while Harley set up, they had decided that they wouldn't interfere unless someone decided to go inside the house. The two decided to spend the time with Peter teaching Cooper some combat and agility moves.
They started with a simple disarming with Peter being the attacker. Cooper quickly learnt how to do the move and within 10 minutes was efficiently disarming Peter who had a stick, they then moved onto getting out of an attackers hold when Clint stood up to go to the bathroom. Panicked the boys looked at each other,
"Fall to the floor and pretend you've hurt your arm," Peter whispered quickly, confused Cooper looked at Peter before Peter quickly pushed him down. Cooper quickly caught on and let out a fake cry of pain, effectively getting the attention of the adults. Tony and Clint rushed over,
"Coop you ok?" Clint asked, worried,
"Yeah, I just got mixed up and fell, " Cooper said,
"Does anything hurt?" Clint asked, Peter very subvertly nudging Cooper,
"Uh my arm hurts a bit, I'm sure its nothing," Cooper said, assuming that's what Peter meant,
"Cmon lets go sit down for a minute, let the bruise come out or just calm down for a minute," Clint lead Cooper over and left Tony and Peter,
"What happened Pete?" Tony prodded,
"I was just teaching him a move and he went the wrong way and twisted his arm a bit and fell," Peter supplied,
"What move?"
"Just a little escape move, it wasn't anything major," Peter said
"You need to try being more careful Pete, you know you should use mats for moves like that anyway," Peter nodded and came and sat down next to Cooper who was sat by his dad,
"Distracted him from whatever he was going in for," Cooper whispered,
"Good, Harley should be done soon," Peter replied, slipping his phone from his pocket to show Cooper a video of a dog celebrating its 10th birthday.
5 minutes passed when Peter's phone dinged. It was Harley, the prank was ready and setup. Smirking Peter and Cooper stood up and went inside, claiming they were too warm in the sun. Harley was waiting in the hallway,
"Ok so we need to be over there, its tipped to set off 5 seconds after they trigger that door," Harley rattled off.
"Ok so if we get in position and then we shout?" Cooper asked,
"Sounds good," Harley answered,
"Yea let me just pre aim," Peter said as the three huddled behind the sofa,
"Ok.. 3, 2, 1,"
"DAD!",
"DAD!",
"TONY!"
The trio heard shouts and rushing before the door opened, Peter was precise in his aim as he shot the feet of a Mr Hawkeye and Iron Man, effectively trapping the to the floor. The three then stood up as 2 glitter bombs popped above the heroes, showering them in purple and pink glitter.
The two stood dumbstruck for a few seconds as the boys did their best to hold in their laughs and were joined in the struggle as Lila and Laura joined them with Nathaniel in her arms,
"Sparkle!" Nathaniel yelled, clapping his hands. This made everyone break into laughs as the two men stood in the middle, Harley taking photos in between wheezes.
A few minutes passed and the laughs died down, Peter stepped forward and flicked out a little blade embedded in his webshooters and cut away at the webs,
"Well if you all think its so funny you wouldn't mind a hug would you?" Tony smirked as Peter straightened up from cutting away the last of the webs,
"You wouldn't dare..." Peter said as Tony eyed him up,
"Stay where you are," Cooper warned as Clint also made eye contact,
"No!" Clint yelled as the two older men ran forward, Tony grabbing Peter and enveloping him in a glitter hug,
"No!" Peter squealed in protest while Clint grabbed Cooper. Both of the older men pulling away after a few minutes of transferring glitter,
"Hey Harles," Peter grinned,
"No, No, NO!" Harley yelled as Clint, Cooper, Peter and Tony advanced before grabbing him in a big group hug. All men now coated in glitter that would take years to get out.
"Boys..." Lila commented as Laura stroked her hair.
The boys all washed quickly, Tony, Peter and Harley having to get back into glitter coated clothes but not minding too much as everyone headed back outside to enjoy the last hour or so before they had to leave. Cooper, Peter and Harley decided to spend the last of the time playing stuck in the mud to which Lila joined in. The four played breathlessly for a while before Tony and Clint joined in.
At early evening Tony called the game, no one had managed to get a perfect game but no one really cared as they beamed and ran or shouted at someone to unfreeze them. It was time for them to go home and neither Peter nor Harley wanted to go, they had had a very good day and didn't want to go back to the frankly rather boring compound,
"Cmon Harles, Pete," Tony spurred as he said goodbye to Clint and Laura,"
"Coming," Harley replied quietly as he had a group hug with Peter and Cooper. The three had exchanged numbers and promised to stay in touch before Harley and Peter ran to follow their dad to the jet, shouting bye to Lila, Clint, Laura and Nathaniel as they caught up to Tony.
It was less than 5 minuites later and they were airbourne, Harley and Peter both fast asleep.
The boys slept the entire time, until decent when Peter woke up. Tony shushed him and told him to go back to sleep but once they had landed Tony saw no point. He had called ahead for Pepper to meet them at the landing site and so wasn't surprised when she came into the jet,
"Can you help Pete up to bed, he's just woke up, Ill carry Harley," Tony whispered to Pepper who smirked and nodded, wrapping an arm around Peter and half dragging half helping him to get off the plane. Tony wrapping his arms around Harley and carrying him bridal style off the plane and to his room before going to change himself out of his glitter stained clothes and getting into bed with Pepper,
"Care to explain why our boys are coated in pink glitter?" Pepper asked, smiling she picked a bit of glitter out of Tony's beard.
"Glitter bomb," was all Tony could muster up the energy to explain as he lead down and nuzzled his head into the mattress. Pepper didn't pry further and instead turned the light off and shuffled down too, she'd find out in the morning.
Right. Hello. It's been a while, I am SO sorry but I have had very little time and the time I've had I haven't felt up to writing. I know that's no excuse especially because I have quite a few requests which I have accepted and I am SO SORRY to the people who I've accepted but not delivered on. Again I know it's no excuse but I am at a stage of life right now that's very busy and with this pandemic going on it isn't making it any easier, I am very sorry and I will really try to be better and update this more than twice a year because I really don't want to abandon this one shot book because sometimes I do really get the motivation to write this book.
