So sorry about taking so long to update. School, ya know. Also I edited this chapter more, so hopefully its better quality.
Chapter 3
It was not all going to be fine. Peter knew this the moment he walked into the Avengers common rooms to find the majority of the Avengers sitting at the table, with Tony standing dramatically up front. This was worrisome for a couple reasons. First off, the members of the team were really rarely all together, even at meals or occasions someone was always off doing something science-y or hero-y. And especially now that the term "avenger" was so loosely thrown around to describe almost any superhero. But it seemed like the bulk of them were here at this moment. At the front was Tony Stark, and next to him, moving clockwise, was Rhodey, then Scott Lang, Natasha Romanoff, Vision, Wanda Maximoff and Sam Wilson. At the other end was Steve Rogers and along the other side was Bucky Barnes, Thor, Clint Barton, Bruce Banner and Pepper Potts.
The second reason Peter was worried was the fact that the moment they saw him walk in, about every hero pretended to be suddenly interested in the room around them. If he hadn't been so nervous about why, Peter might of found it funny that a room full of intergalactic superheroes couldn't keep a poker face. Tony, who was now sitting down looking at his phone, was the first one to say something.
"Hey Pete, how was school?"
"You tell me" Peter retorted, eyes half lidded.
Tony feigned a look of confusion and offense.
"I don't know whatever you mean"
He held up the permission slip, still with a look of annoyance.
"Pete, ya know you're the only one with advanced eyesight" Peter rolled his eyes and walked over to slam the paper on the table in front of him.
"Know anything about this?" Tony read the paper in front of him and then looked over to Pepper looking almost genuinely surprised. Almost.
"I had no idea...Pep did you know Pete's class was coming here for a field trip?"
"No idea" Pepper shrugged.
The rest of the avengers were watching this interaction with looks of poorly hidden glee. They had no doubt been planning every conceivable way they could embarrass him completely in front of his classmates. Peter could only imagine how they were going to react when they saw the way his classmates treated him. Well, not classmates… classmate. Flash (and his posse of can't-do-anything-themselves thugs but they don't really count) we're going to be in for it. Something in the back of Peter's head was sort of excited about that, but it was quickly squashed when he remembered that the avengers would assemble basically to "protect" Peter. And Flash wasn't even that bad anymore! Ned was exaggerating when he said Flash had shoved Peter into the lockers four times that day. It had only been once, and he barely pushed him.
The more he repeated this in his head, the less substantial it felt.
"Ok look" Peter put on his brave face, which to the rest of the avengers resembled an especially angry toddler. "I know what you guys are up to here, but let me make this very clear. You will, under no circumstances, act any different then you normally would around any other group of high schoolers."
"Yes… well I'm not speaking for everyone here, but I don't know too many high schoolers. Should I be researching vines? Reading up on my memes? How many times should I use the word lit?" Clint teased. Peter suddenly felt very sorry for Lila Barton.
"But I promise we definitely won't do anything to embarrass you.''Steve said, looking more sincere than the rest of them. Peter shot him a grateful smile, or the grateful-est smile his anxiety would let him.
"Pete, don't worry I'll keep them in check" Tony assured him. Not that that helped.
"That's what I'm worried about"
"Ouch" Tony put a hand to his chest "do you mean to say I'm not "mature". I own a multi-million dollar company, I might remind you."
"Everyone knows Pepper does everything, Tony." Peter said as he grabbed his stuff to bring to his room. His room. His room that he had in Stark Towers. Every once and a while he was reminded of how crazy it all was. This was not one of those time though.
"He's not grateful of me, after all I've done for him" Tony teased, as Peter walked away. "You give a kid a suit, a room, everything they could possibly need…"
Peter slammed his door and was instantly met with sweet, happy silence.
It's short I know, but I've already started the next. Reviews are always appreciated!
