When Peter steps in he's greeted by Thor's booming laughter. It makes him smile slightly, while he hadn't missed Stark Industries, he had definitely missed the Avengers.
MJ looks over at him and smiles slightly before blushing ever so slightly. She hangs her head to allow her hair to hide her blush. She curses him on the inside for making her body react in such away.
"Ah, Peter, MJ, nice of you to join us. We're just gonna listen to the talk that they were going to give us. Come and sit down." Mr Harrington says as he gestures MJ and Peter over towards him.
They follow him and take a seat on the floor like young kids and stare up to the Avengers with the same amazed expressions as young kids. The Avengers beam down at them, they will never get used to the smiles on peoples faces when they get to meet the Avengers.
Thor grins at all of the kids who smile up at him. He'd always wanted kids of his own, he'd always liked the idea of his kids worshipping him in the way that kids worshipped their parents when they're young.
oOo
About an hour into the talk Thor had steadily gotten bored of the speech that Cap had been giving for the past ten minutes. He could also tell that he was losing the kids interest as well as many of the Avengers.
The only Avenger who seemed remotely interested in what Cap has to say is Tony but then again, he could just be staring at him in the same way you stare at someone that you love. Yes, Nat had spilled the bean but only because they'd all been making bets and surprise, surprise Nat had been right.
He waits for a break in the man's speech patter before interrupting.
"Alright offspring, who wants to try and lift up the hammer?" He buts in, Cap looks offended however everyone else just looks grateful from being freed from a speech about God knows what. Everyone cheers at this and stands up, stretching their legs as they go.
"Everyone, line up in single file and you can do this true test of morality. Only those that are worthy can lift up my fine hammer." He booms out to the hall and majority of people jump. He just laughs ever so slightly before picking up his hammer and placing it in the middle of the room. The steady line of kids come and go; each trying their hardest to get the hammer to move even a smidgin.
oOo
Peter stands with MJ and Ned in the queue. Ned bounces on the balls of his feet from excitement, Peter looks slightly anxious but by now people confuse it for his resting face, MJ looks bored as ever and silently picks at her nails.
"What do you think happens if you pick up the hammer?" Ned asks eagerly to MJ and Peter.
"The Avenger's will probably kidnap and take you to their secret lair and do tests on you." MJ says before grinning at Ned's horrified face and cackling evilly.
"I don't think anything will change Ned. A pat on the back I s'pose." Peter says to Ned calmly, ignoring MJ's huffs of protest at ruining her fun at messing with him. Ned steps up to try and pick it up, he tries and it doesn't shift at all. He steps away and waits for Peter and MJ. MJ steps up and barely even tries and it doesn't move at all.
Peter steps up and places both his hands on the handle. He shifts slightly and attempts to lift it. It doesn't budge and so he tries again. This time it moves.
