Hello gentlemen and ladies

So, this is my reaction fic for these ridiculous MCU fics that have Peter getting adopted by the Avengers. With usually shows Peter needing to be protected since is so fragile or some such crap like that.

I've been a Spider-Man fan for years, who is one of my top favorites.

Meaning I find this treatment of Peter to be insulting so I'm just not going after IronDad, but this whole Avengers family mess. Because Peter should be an equal, not some sidekick.

I'm having this as post-Homecoming AU with Peter after talking with Aunt May realized how badly Stark treated him so sends the suit back altogether. Now Peter is wearing his homemade classic suit from NWH.

Onwards.


Harlem construction yard

Letting out a groan of pain upon getting punched right through a concrete wall by Rhino, Spider-Man staggers to his feet facing the man whose inside a mechanized suit, that is well named following the animal of choice.

"Come on, you're an endangered species I would hate to reduce your population" Spider-Man quips.

"Don't you ever shut up? Big man will make you shut up" Rhino snarls.

"Nah that's kind of my specialty, I like talking" Spider-Man quips "At least I'm funny, unlike the late-night talk shows. Man, I miss Jay Lento and I wasn't even alive when he was on the air."

"Quiet" Rhino yells.

The man charges towards the super-powered teenager Spider-Man effortlessly leaps away with attempting a kick only Rhino grabs his leg pulling him off balance before throwing him hard into the dirty ground. Letting out a yell of agony Peter manages to roll out of the way from getting his head stomped in, while feeling his back is going to be massively bruised with maybe more cracked ribs, and/or knee.

"Aleksei the last time we met you were a low-level mercenary floating around only now you've got a serious upgrade that's way beyond you. I mean you're a perfect example of a bully who brags about how life's unfair. Never mind needing somebody else to think for you" Spider-Man says mockingly.

"Shut up! I'm not an idiot, Mr. Big Man recognizes my potential" Rhino yells.

Only bullets strike Rhino's armor getting Sytsevich's attention as two blasts hit his suit as well causing the man to turn towards the danger. Across the yard is Iron Man in his suit, alongside Captain America and Hawkeye while Black Widow quietly lands behind him heading for Spider-Man.

"Come on gray head take on an actual threat worth your glory and ours" Tony quips.

Rhino runs towards the Avengers while Peter gets to his feet in frustration. Black Widow approaches Spider-Man extending her arm to help. After all, he is an untrained kid in way over his head.

"Let's get you away from here," Natasha says.

"No, and no you guys couldn't have showed up at the worst possible time" Peter replies briskly.

"Worst time? We just saved your life" Natasha snaps.

Spider-Man not even bothering arguing runs forward ignoring the pain throughout his body due to getting smacked around by an overgrown Rhino leaps up firing a web to swing around to face the brute some feet away.

"Can we please just go back to our conversation, ignore the Avengers and you wanted to tell me something before killing me?" Spider-Man asks rhetorically.

"No" Rhino yells.

Keeping quiet Spider-Man lets his spider-sense guide his movements for dodging Rhino's charge by expertly backflipping onto the back of Sytsevich's monstrous suit. Removing a small box-shaped device attached with tape to his stomach underneath the top part of his outfit, Peter jams it into Aleksei's back. Leaping off Peter lands on the ground gracefully while Rhino yells as his suit dissolves into goo.

Letting out an unseen grin due to the mask Spider-Man dashes over punching Aleksei in his face rendering him unconscious with quickly webbing him to the ground. Normally it would be only to keep him secure, but frankly, Peter notes is also for rather dislike see certain areas given Sytsevich's lack of clothes.

Looking around at all the Avengers "You know maybe months ago I would have been in massive joy over meeting you guys, and us not fighting but frankly can you please just go somewhere else? You've ruined plenty of my time, not to mention wasting a gadget I cobbled together out of Tinker's devices" Spider-Man says angrily.

"We saved your life son" Captain America replies.

"No, no, and no. I was letting Sytsevich beat me up so I could get the thug to hopefully tell me who this big man of crime is. The one who has been running protection rackets disguised as Rhino rampages" Spider-Man says, "Now I can't get that info from him."

"Listen I get you're upset, but you're a kid you need to be in school. The biggest priority should be your social life and aunt, let us worry about the stuff like this" Hawkeye replies.

Glaring "I'm not surprised you told them who I am sparky and I'm guessing upon learning this CA decided I needed training? However, let me guess none of you even know about the fact of a new crime lord, or even Rhino being Aleksei? Never mind I busted Rhino originally in a good old fashion planned mugging into murder all cause some idiots pooled together some savings since they didn't like a coworker not letting them get away with hypocritical bullying. Now those same people are rotting in jail. I mean you guys handle alien threats, and I handle the city" Spider-Man says, "Just leave me in peace."

"Yes," Steve Rogers says regrettably, "And son you're a teenager, let us help you."

"Cause my experiences with you guys have been so great on getting blackmailed into fighting in your dumb Avengers Civil War" Peter quips in bitter sarcasm "I don't need your help, nor do I desire it."

"If the spider kid wants to get himself killed then I'd say let's go and have him come back to us. After all, I found tough love usually works the best for when he's being a misbehaving kid" Tony says.

"Enough with the insults, and that goes for the both of you," Natasha says.

"Listen I'm not your kid Stark. In fact, coming to you guys for help? Like Tony would be my dad, Captain America as another father role? Hawkeye over there as an uncle with Widow for a mother or aunt role? Then various uncles and aunts for the rest of the Avengers, maybe a sister for Scarlett Witch or something? Like a big happy Avengers family just all adopting the poor, little precious spider kid?" Peter asks mockingly.

"Well, I was kind of hoping for something like that" Tony says.

"I have a family including parents. They might have died alongside my uncle, but they were still mine. I'm not looking for replacements. Like seriously joining you guys being this big Avengers family and being a kid needing constant comfort is ridiculous" Peter replies scathingly.

"Listen kid" Clint starts but gets cut off.

"When there's another alien invasion, I'll help but otherwise bye. I've got enough of my own issues to deal with" Peter replies.

Anything else besides some pointless shouts of waiting Spider-Man turns firing off a web and swinging away leaving the Avengers behind.


Later at the Parker Household

Now wearing a gray T-shirt and blue jeans with bare feet Peter heading down the staircase momentarily considers scaling the ceiling, yet decides against it for not aggravating his ribs or back further, with reaching the kitchen area.

Standing at a counter May mixing ingredients inside a bowl. On the opposite side is Ned Leeds working on a laptop as Michelle Jones is sketching on a pad.

"Hey, your off from FEAST?" Peter inquiries in surprise.

"Apparently I've been working too hard according to Mr. Li so taking some time off," May says "Not that this is a hardship."

"Isn't your aunt the best, and good cookies too" Ned says goes reaching for the batter.

Swatting Leed's hand May lightly glares in his direction while Peter laughs, and Michelle smiles. Journeying around the counter Peter leans over sharing a casual kiss on MJ's lips who returns it while hiding the sketch pad, however briefly.

"Hey, welcome back," Michelle says warmly.

"Thanks," Peter says.

Making a gagging face "You know I'm reminded of a married couple watching you both. Plus doing this in front of your aunt well my parents would rip me a new one" Ned says in displeasure.

"Doesn't bother me, however, what does is the fact ever since you've come in you've been on the computer, and I highly doubt it's schoolwork" May says.

"Sorry," Ned says closing the lid "Though you have not gotten onto MJ drawing."

"It's not shoving your face in social media. I can still have a conversation" Michelle replies.

"Yeah, me too," Ned says.

Glancing down at the drawing "So, what are you working on?" Peter asks.

"You'll see in a moment" Michelle replies.

"Fair enough," Peter says glancing over to Ned "Hey, man what's up?"

"Not much besides getting tag-teamed. I heard on the Avengers showing up, how did that go?" Ned inquiries.

"They screwed up my planning, and made me an offer to join… again," Peter says.

"Did you agree?" Ned asks excitedly.

"Nope" Peter replies cheerfully "I refused."

"You're stronger than me. I mean the Avengers are awesome" Ned says.

"Eh… I don't desire exposing my identity, which may be outdated for the rest but not for me. Besides I like sticking to home base" Peter says.

"Speaking of Gloria is doing well since arriving last week after you helped her out, and Howard finally got his pigeons moved to FEAST's roof," May says.

Nodding "Good" Peter replies.

"Well anyway they finally got Red Dead Redemption Two out," Ned says.

"Sweet I'll chip in to help cover the costs," Peter says.

"You don't have to do that, man," Ned says.

"I know, but I want to" Peter replies.

"Okay, thanks man," Ned says.

"Not a problem," Peter says.

"Hey dork," Michelle says teasingly, "I think you'll like this."

Peter takes the pad looking on captivated. Because it is a colored drawing of Spider-Man fighting the Avengers, and winning with Rhino out cold in the background. Peter shows it to Ned then Aunt May.

"Wow that is impressive," Peter says.

"Yes, I agree with my nephew, you do have a real talent," May says.

"Thanks," Michelle says lightly flustered.

"Yeah, I'm in agreement with them," Ned says.

Glancing at them while the conversation begins again Peter places an arm around MJ knows for having all the family he needs right here.


Hope you all got enjoyment and any hate mail I will delete or ignore.

I kind of like exploring in general the differences between the Avengers world saving compared to guys like Spider-Man who are handling street work, almost nightly.

Yeah, I have Peter and Michelle together far earlier.

Oh, regarding early I know RDR2 doesn't come out until later 2018, but eh let's just say it does.

Until next time
