A/N: Hi all, sorry I haven't posted in a while. I'm on holiday at the moment so it might be a little slow. Anyway, hope y'all enjoy it regardless!
I do not own MCU.
Peter rests his head back on his pillow, thinking deeply about today's events. Does he want the extra pressure of now having to be mentored by Thor?
Not to mention the fact that MJ now knows his deepest darkest secret.
Maybe he should tell Tony but what if he wants to get her memory erased. This is no Incredibles moment but what if Tony erases her memory and he can no longer remember her like Violet and Tony he thinks.
He shakes the thought from his head, it doesn't have to be like that if he doesn't mention it right.
He sits up and walks into his bathroom. He splashes a little water on his face before staring at himself in the mirror.
"I'm Spiderman. I am a superhero. I deserve to be happy." He says to himself seriously.
"You sure do deserve to be happy Spiderling." A voice says, Peter jumps up before turning around and seeing Tony leaning against the wall. He pushes himself off the wall and steps closer to Peter, looking him straight in the eye.
"What's up kid?" Tony asks, his voice laced with concern.
"Um, it's nothing. Don't worry about it." Peter brushes off the question, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Seriously Peter, I'm worried about you. You've been off since you arrived here, then you had the panic attack and now Thor's pressuring you into being his mentee. I don't want you to feel stressed by everything that's being put on your plate. You've got three more days of your trip left so I think you should make the most of it." Tony says gently, he rests an arm on Peter's shoulder. He senses him tense slightly before relaxing into the feeling.
"I don't feel overwhelmed with the opportunity. Plus, Thor's just excited at the idea of being a mentor. I'm sure his enthusiasm will blow over in a few days. I plan on making the most of this trip I can assure you." Peter replies before sighing a relaxed sigh.
"Well, I want you to enjoy the rest of your time here but I do think it would be good if you start seeing a therapist from now on. I know it's a bit prompted but I've found one for you. She's been cleared with S.H.I.E.L.D so you can talk openly about your problems. You can see her whenever you want but, now this is just a recommendation, maybe you can see her while you're here." Tony says with nervous hints in his voice. He's twisting his hands before Peter smiles up at him.
"Okay, I'm free now so I'll go drop her a visit. I just wanna go speak to someone first." Peter declares happily. Tony raises his eyebrows slightly before following Peter out of the room.
"Who do you wanna speak to?" He asks, trying to sound casual but failing.
"MJ," Peter responds simply. Tony tries to hide his intrigue but continues his interrogation.
"Oh, so you like this MJ then."
"Yeah, yeah she's really funny. She's nice in her own way."
"What do you mean by 'nice in her own way' is that code for something else?"
"No, it just means that she puts up a guarded front and uses sarcasm as a defense mechanism but once you get past that she's very… truthful to herself if you get what I'm saying."
"I think so. So, once you get past her walls, she releases herself."
"Yeah, yeah. Anyway, she's worried about me so I wanna tell her I'm gonna get help."
Tony ponders over this for a while as they move through corridors. At some point he sees Cap walking in the opposite direction but grabs his arm to pull him in their direction. He winks at him before going for a new line of questioning.
"So, could you envision yourself in a relationship with MJ." He asks, Peter looks up at him with an alarmed expression and Cap hits his shoulder lightly.
"Tony, that's personal! Feel free not to answer that, Peter." Cap exclaims shooting Tony a dirty look.
"No, no it's okay Cap. Um, well she is nice and sweet even if she doesn't always seem it. But yeah, I might like her but I don't wanna put that on here so let's forget about it please." Peter replies, getting more flustered by each word.
Tony nods his head approvingly whilst stroking his beard thoughtfully. Cap tugs his arm lightly and he stops whilst Peter continues walking to MJ's room.
"Tones, what is your plan here?" Steve whispers to him.
"Well, Peter isn't gonna do anything about it is he. So, I think it's time Cupid took some action." He replies mischievously.
"Tony, come on. Be careful, she might not like him and then you're just setting him up for heartbreak." Cap says with an exasperated tone.
"It'll be fine Steve. I went to check on him the other night and they were snuggled up on the floor so I think it's safe to say she likes him too." Tony replies before kissing Steve's cheek and walking off.
Steve sighs a long sigh before continuing in the direction he was traveling in the first place.
