A/N: Howdy! Thanks for reading! This is the same universe as my last story "Lost Spider" but if you haven't read it thats fine this can also be considered a stand alone story as well! Hope you enjoy!
Disclaimer: I do not own Marvel or Spider-Man this is just for fun.
"Hey Underoo! On you left!" Tony Stark yelled, as he blocked another blow from Steve Rogers.
"Never take your eye off your opponent kid," Bucky Barnes warned, throwing a jab at Peter. Peter was just fast enough to dodge by falling back onto the mat, rolling and jumping back to his feet.
"Who said I took my eye off you Mr. Bucky," Pete told him, he was breathing heavily and trying to hide the fact that he was getting tired.
"Good dodge kid," Bucky praised, "But you really shouldn't fall on the ground to dodge, it leaves you open."
"Yeah, that was my bad," Peter told him, as he ran a hand through his hair.
"Good match," Steve said, calling it.
Peter had been training every week with the Avengers for almost a year now. It had almost become a normal routine to train, get dinner and go back to Stark Tower with Tony. Peter had started to feel more a part of the team and welcomed. He had started to get personal relationships with each of them, and when they started to come and hang out with him at the Tower, which he couldn't believe still.
"Good job today Peter," Steve told him, handing him a towel, "You've gotten a lot better."
"Still a little rough around the edges, but I knew a kid just like you when he was your age," Bucky cut in, elbowing Steve's arm.
"Sorry Mr. Bucky, but I can't believe that Captain America was ever like me," Pete told them.
"Well it's true, almost wasn't even able to join the military because I was so small," Steve told him.
The two older men laughed at Peter's reaction as Peter was visibly in disbelief at that.
"I think what these two old men are trying to say is that you are doing a good job and just because you're rough around the edges doesn't mean you wont be great one day," Tony said coming over to the group.
Peter blushed and looked down in an attempt to hide his face. He was still not used to getting compliments.
"Okay, let's hit the showers guys," Steve cut in knowing Peter was feeling shy with all the attention.
Peter was finally on summer vacation so he did not need to go home as early to get his homework done. This also meant he got to stay over at Stark Tower and work on projects with Tony, Bruce and occasionally . Each member he got to work with he gave his all to learn as much as he could from each person. Tony of course gave him gadgets to tinker with, Bruce showed him more projects that he was working on as well as some of his philanthropic projects he was funding, while Dr. Strange would bring different multidimensional problems and puzzles to test the young spider.
After their showers, the four reconvened in the living area in which Clint Barton and Natasha Romanoff were already waiting for them.
"Hey Kid, how'd training go?" Clint asked, "You kick Bucky's butt or what?"
"It went well, I don't think I could kick any of your butts Mr. Barton," Peter told him, coming to sit down next to him on the couch.
"I wouldn't be so sure Pete, I have $20 on you beating Tony," Natasha told him, with a devilish smile at Tony.
"I have $15 on you flipping Bucky," Clint added.
"I have $25 on you knocking Steve on the mat again," Bucky chimed in.
Steve gave Bucky a look while Tony glared at Natasha and Clint.
"That was just a fluke. There was an alien parasite controlling me," Peter told them, he still felt embarrassed about the trouble he had caused.
"Well I think you could do it kid," Nat encouraged him, as she reached over and gave his arm a small squeeze.
"Now what's for dinner?" Clint asked, changing the subject.
"Happy said that Pepper is coming with chinese," Tony answered, standing by the kitchen bar grabbing a glass of juice from the fridge.
"Perfect," Steve said, sitting on the bar stool next to Bucky.
No sooner had it been announced had Pepper Potts and Happy Hogan come off the elevator and into the room wafting the smell of food into the room. They all stood to help carry in food as Peter received a text message from an unsaved number.
"Hey Pete, this is Harry Osborn," The text read. Peter couldn't believe his eyes he had to reread the text three times before replying.
"Harry! Oh my god dude how have you been?" Peter texted back completely ignoring the food in front of him.
"I've been good, do you have a moment to speak?" Harry texted. Peter didn't even look at the curious eyes around him as he got up and walked down the hall dialing the number.
"Hey Harry! I-" Peter could be heard saying before he closed the door to the terrace.
"Harry?" Bucky asked no one in particular.
"Not sure, must be someone from school?" Tony said more as a question toward Happy.
"I haven't heard Peter say that name before, the only 3 names I hear are MJ, Ned and this kid Flash," Happy told them.
"Stop snooping you guys, if you want to know just ask Peter when he comes back," Pepper reprimanded.
"Come on Pep, you can't say you aren't a bit curious," Tony pushed, pointing the fork with teriyaki chicken on it at her before taking a bite.
"Tony he can have friends you know, " Natasha told him, sticking up for Pepper.
"You're right okay I'll drop it," Tony announced.
Outside on the phone Peter was ecstatic.
"Harry, I'm so happy to hear from you!" Peter told him.
"Not as happy as I am!" Harry told him, "Sounds like you haven't changed."
"Not at all!" Pete laughed, "Hey, don't take this wrong but how did you get my number?"
"Actually, Dad and I ran into your Aunt May at the hospital. Dad was running a donation even there and she recognized us right away and I asked for your number," Harry explained.
"You're in town?" Pete asked.
"Yeah! Dad and I just got in about 2 weeks ago but I didn't know if you, Ned or MJ even lived here anymore," Harry admitted.
"Actually we're all here. Well technically Ned isn't here right now he's at camp in Florida and I think MJ is on vacation for 2 weeks with her parents. But I mean yes we all live here still," Peter rambled, he was just so excited to hear from his friend.
"That's awesome," Harry laughed at Peter rambling, "Well I was hoping we could hang out?"
"Of course I want to hang out. When were you thinking?" Pete asked excitedly.
"Well if you're free tomorrow dad and I are touring the factory here if you wanna come?" Harry offered.
"Yes! I would love to. What time?" Pete inquired.
"How about 8am? We can come pick you up?" Harry told him, " Same place you and May lived before?"
"Well yes, but I won't be there. I'll be at Stark towers if you want to pick me up from there?" Pete told him.
"Stark towers?" Harry whistled, "Wow, what are you doing there?"
"I actually have an internship with Mr. Stark," Pete answered.
"That awesome Peter! I'll let dad know. I hope he doesn't show off, you know Stark Industries is our biggest competitor," Harry said.
"Oh, I guess I didn't realize Harry," Pete said suddenly feeling awkward.
"Don't worry about it, we knew you first," Harry teased, "Maybe we will steal you from Stark industries and you come work for Oscorp."
Pete laughed, " Don't tell Mr. Stark that he may have a heart attack."
"Well maybe he will give you a raise!" Harry laughed, "Anyways Pete, it was good to catch up. I can't wait to see you tomorrow."
"I know! It's been so long I can't wait! I'll talk to you tomorrow then Harry," Peter agreed.
"See ya then," Harry hung up.
Peter was so happy he had the biggest grin on his face walking back in as he texted May a thank you for giving Harry his number and that he would see the Osbournes tomorrow.
"What's with the smile Pete, got a hot date?" Bucky teased.
Suddenly he was extremely aware all eyes were on him. He quickly put his phone in his pocket and sat down at the table.
"No hot date, that was just an old friend. He and I are hanging out tomorrow," Peter explained, still turning a shade of pink.
"Do you need a ride?" Happy asked.
"No, he said he and his dad were going to pick me up at Stark tower tomorrow morning," Peter explained, grabbing some food for his plate.
"This friend have a name?" Tony asked.
"Tony," Pepper reprimanded.
"What?" Tony asked, "it's just a question."
"Yeah, his name is Harry. Ned Harry and Mj were all my closest friends growing up and with Harry's dad's work he had to move away. It's been a few years since anyones heard from him but I'm glad he's back and we can catch up," Peter told them.
"That's wonderful Peter," Pepper told him.
"Do you know if he's going to stay?" Steve asked.
"Oh, no I didn't think to ask," Peter admitted, "He said he's been here about 2 weeks so far."
"Well, next time I can drive you guys," Happy suggested.
"Thank you, Happy. I'd like that. He always used to drive me around when we were younger" Peter told him.
"Well after your catch up I call dibs on you underoo, I want you to take a look at some schematics I drew up," Tony told him.
"Of course Mr. Stark, I can't wait!" Peter told them, grabbing another bite of food. He couldn't wait for tomorrow. His best friend was back.
