A/N: Hi, I had a lot of fun writing this so I hope you have fun reading it. Also, do let me know if you think the characters should be portrayed in a different way. I don't watch much Marvel I've only really read fanfics so do let me know if there should be any adjustments. Anyways, hope you enjoy!

I don't own MCU.

It moves. Peter freezes in motion and everyone else does to. Thor stops his laughing and looks down at Peter with a smile that reaches his eyes. While he may be slightly perplexed that someone other than himself has moved the hammer, he wouldn't want it to be anyone other than Peter.

Tony notices the silence, specifically the lack of Thor's laughing and looks over to see Peter holding the hammer. His jaw drops and Cap follows his gaze and follows Tony's motion.

They both jump into action swiftly and clear the room of everyone saying that there was an emergency that must be attended to. Nobody bar MJ and Ned noticed that Peter got left behind. They share a confused look before allowing themselves to be escorted out of the room. This leaves just the Avengers and Peter alone in the room. The move around him like a team wolves hunting down their prey.

Peter swallows and looks around the rest of the Avengers. He rests the hammer on the ground and rubs the back of his neck awkwardly, not enjoying the attention that they were giving him.

Tony clears his throat to direct the attention onto himself and waits for everyone to look over at him before speaking.

"Peter, can you try picking it up again."

Peter nods and puts his hands on the hammer again. This time he lifts it with more ease and everyone looks just as gobsmacked as before as their eyes clearly hadn't been deceiving them.

"Um, what does this mean exactly?" Peter asks, his voice a little shaky from surprise.

"It means that you Peter Parker, are a worthy ruler of Asgard" Thor booms happily. He pulls Peter into a bone crushing hug.

"Um, but Thor." Peter squeaks out as Thor begins to dance around happily.

"Yes Peter?" Tony answers, clearly aware that Thor has zoned out.

"I, um I don't think I want to rule Asgard." Peter mumbles quietly.

"Well, he technically doesn't have to, correct. It means that he is a worthy ruler and could rule Asgard." Cap chimes in, much to the delight of Tony.

"Capsicle's right. You don't have to do anything you don't want to Peter." Tony says as he strides over to be on Peter's side, he rests a comforting hand on the boy's shoulder and smiles at him to try and ease his anxiety. Thor wonders back over and looks at Peter with an inquisitive smile.

"You are not forced into anything, young Peter. I only wonder if you would consider shadowing me for a time to investigate if you would consider this new option of yours." Thor says, sympathy in his voice to the young boy who looks fragile and afraid.

"Y-yeah, that sounds cool." Peter whispers out quietly and wonders over to Thor who smiles at him before walking him to the exit.

The Avengers quickly disperse to their respective areas but Tony just stands there, a slightly wounded look on his face.

"Tones, is everything alright?" Steve asks Tony inquisitively.

"I just always thought that Peter would want to shadow me and that he would investigate if he enjoyed working with me. It didn't occur to me that he would be in demand of the other Avengers. Thor's never shown any interest in him before." Tony whines, he blushes at how desperate he sounds.

"Thor hadn't shown any interest in Pop Tarts until I happened to ask if anyone minded if I ate the last one and suddenly, they were his favourite thing." Steve chuckles before continuing "He means well and he's just opening up Peter's options a little. I'm not sure if Peter will be able to handle Thor's energy for more than a day but you'll just have to see won't you."

Tony sighs deeply and leans into Steve, resting his head on Steve's shoulder. Steve wraps his arms around his boyfriend. He didn't enjoy seeing Tony question himself or his abilities to be a father-figure to Peter so he just hopes that he's alleviated some of the man's tension.

"Yeah, you're right. I'm going to check on Peter anyway. He seemed a little agitated in here." Tony mumbles before leaving. Steve sighs deeply and pats his pocket. He smiles as he feels the box sitting in there.

oOo

Peter wonders back to his room with Thor; neither of them speaking but a comfortable silence is between them. Peter looks out a window and takes note of the fact that the sky is a beautiful sunset colour. He makes a mental note to text Steve to let him know as he loves to draw sunsets. Thor waves him goodbye once they reach his room and he opens the door.

He nearly jumps out of his skin when he sees MJ sitting on his bed.

"MJ what are you doing here?" Peter asks, trying to regulate his breathing a little.

"Take a seat." She says, her voice calm and collected. He swallows before sitting down on his chair. She takes the light and shines it in his eyes, he covers his face with his hand and squints slightly.

"What's with the light?" He asks through his fingers.

"You ask a lot of questions Parker. It's time you answered some of mine." She says an evil grin pulling on her lips. He blushes slightly and looks at his lap.

"Unlike our friend Ned, I've suspected something's been up with you for a while now. You always keep your phone on and near you at all times. While that may be normal for the average teenager you don't seem to check your Instagram and Snapchat messages which leads me to believe that you were checking for a message or a call. Then I noticed that whenever certain ringtone played you would always have to leave immediately. While it could be May it once happened while we were there and you suddenly said you weren't feeling well and we had to leave. Next point, you've been acting super weird since we arrived here and you clearly didn't want to come here in the first place which doesn't make sense because you get to miss a week of school and hang around a cool high-tech building which you like. You also didn't seem surprise by the amazing architecture which infers that you've seen it before. Then your panic attack seems to have been triggered by entering the bathroom so something must've happened in a bathroom to force you into such a stressed mode that you passed out. Moving onto today, I saw you pick up Thor's hammer and while the Avengers all looked briefly surprised, they all had a sort of knowing look in their eyes that made it seem like "Yes of course Peter Parker would be the chosen one" which implies that they already knew you. Finally, all of the Avengers appeared to be here except for one." She says very quickly, as the speech goes on Peter's breathing speeds up. He can tell where this is going and he doesn't like it.

"So, Peter Parker, are you Spiderman?"
