I climb up off the ground to find Morgan clingy to a nerdish looking guy. He definitely looked more confident and sassy than Peter did. As soon as I stood up Peter noticed me and waved.

"Hey AJ! How's the knee cap?"

I crutch over to them, "Better. Thanks."

The guy, Harley, and I stare at each other as Peter says, "Well AJ, this is Harley Keener. Harley, this is AJ Diaz."

"Hey it's nice to meet you Harley," I say as I stick my hand out for him to shake it.

"Likewise. Thanks by the way for making sure Morgan got home safely."

"It was no problem. She practically got home by herself."

"Yeah, I did!" Morgan interrupted proudly, "Can we eat now?"

All three of us chuckled and Harley nodded as he picked her up, "Yep! Happy and May are waiting for us. We also brought a surprise guest with us!"

"Oh yeah," Peter says as he smiles.

Upon hearing those words I immediately start to sweat. I was prepared to meet Harley and May today. Another person might kill me. Although some part of me wishes it was Captain America.

"Really who is it?!" Morgan asks excitedly.

"Can't tell. Want to go see?"

She nods and all of us begin walking back to the house with Morgan asks a million questions per minute.

Peter notices my apparent nervousness and gives me a smile, "Everybody will love you. You have nothing to be nervous about."

I nod, "I know. That doesn't make me less nervous."

As we near the house I see Tony talking on the porch with a man and a woman. The woman I'm assuming is Peter's aunt. She's a lot younger than I was expecting. She's standing close to Happy who seems kind over nervous around her. I bet he likes her. The man is talking animatedly to Tony about something. They have equally serious and amused looks on their faces.

As soon as we're close enough to enter the porch Morgan sees the man and shouts, "Uncle Rhodey!"

She jumps out of Harley's arms and runs to give her uncle a hug. The name Rhodey sounds familiar.

I give Peter a questioning look and he whispers, "Colonel James Rhodes. Tony's best friend and-"

"-and War Machine," I finished.

Peter nods as the other adults turn to face us.

Tony grins, "Well I see you've already met AJ, Harley. Not that I had an introduction planned or anything."

Harley rolled his eyes, "You know I like stealing your thunder."

"Yeah a little too much," Tony says with a fake smile plastered on his face. Harley sticks his tongue out at him. Tony turns away from Harley and gestures towards Peter's aunt.

"May, this is AJ Diaz. AJ this is May, Peter's aunt."

I shake her hand and say, "Nice to meet you Ms. May. I heard you make wonderful walnut date loaf. I can't wait to try it."

She smiles back genuinely, "It's nice to meet you as well. You are a very charming young man."

Tony rolls his eyes, "He's charming with everyone but me and Pepper. All he said when he met me was "um...hi"! I didn't get any compliments"

"I told you I was in shock when I met you. Plus I would've complimented Pepper. I told you she's my personal hero."

He glared, "Continuing," he said as he waved Rhodey over, "AJ this is Rhodey. Rhodey AJ."

I shake his hand, "Nice to meet you Colonel. I'm a huge War Machine fan. Your work with the military before and after the suit is inspiring. Especially since you were severely injured a couple years ago."

He chuckles, "I always love a fan. And please, call me Rhodey. Are you a bigger fan of mine than Iron Man?"

I smirk and watch Tony's face as I answer, "Well yeah. Who wouldn't like the next version of something? Tony's the original right?"

Harley, Peter, and Rhodey burst out laughing. Happy cracked a smile and May tried to hide her giggles behind her hand. Tony looked shocked that someone would say that about him. He just stood still looking horrified.

"Plus you have a bigger gun."

Rhodey clapped me on the shoulder, "Tones, I like this kid."

Tony had recovered and had a grin on his face, "Yeah he's alright."

At that moment Pepper makes her appearance, "If you guys are done with introductions breakfast is ready."

May's eyebrows raise in surprise, "Really? There are no last minute tasks for me to help you with?"

Pepper shakes her head no. "AJ helped me cook this morning. We can eat on time for once."

Harley gives a whoop at that and Pepper shoots him a play glare.

He grins back and says, "Hey I'm hungry. I'm a growing boy."

"Really cause I thought you stopped growing a while go Harls," Peter quips as he follows Pepper and May into the house.

Harley glares and I hear a small verbal fight stat as the two enter the house. Morgan runs over to me and grabs my hand to drag me after he brothers.

"Come on! You can sit next to me!"

I chuckle, "Ok Half-Pint. I'm coming."

The rest of us walk into the dining room where the table is set. Honestly, I've been here for almost a week and have never eaten in this room once. The entire table is set with pancakes, waffles, fruit, and other baked goods. The spread looks delicious.

Morgan drags me over to the table and points to a seat that's next to hers, "You sit there."

I dutifully sit as everyone else files in. Harley takes the sit next to me and Peter sits next to Morgan. The adults sat across from us except for Tony who sat at the head of the table. He gestured for us to start eating an we dug in.

After listening for a few minutes as the family caught up, May turned towards me.

"So AJ, I hear you enjoy art."

I nod.

"What's your favorite material to work with?"

I shrug, "I like to paint and draw mostly."

"He's really good," Morgan pipes in.

I blush at her compliment and she continues, "He drew me this morning. Can I show them?"

I nod slightly and she scrambles down from her chair to go grab the drawing I had given her earlier. When she returns she proudly shows off my work to everyone at the table. They all had looks of surprise of their faces. Peter points to the drawing.

"This is amazing! How long did it take you?"

"Maybe an hour."

"An hour?!" Harley asks surprised.

I shrug, "I draw a lot."

Morgan nods, "It's true. I always find him drawing in his room."

Tony smiles proudly, "Told you he was good Happy."

Happy shakes his head, "When you said he was good and I didn't think you meant this good. It's like an exact replica of your daughter!"

"What do you think I meant when I said good?"

"I thought you meant it like 'Its-My-Kids-So-It's-Automatically-Good' kind of way."

"When have I ever done something like that?"

Happy gives a pointed glance at Morgan who was busy trying to finish her waffles.

"Ok but never with the boys and anything my princess does is good."

"See!" Happy shouts as the rest of us laugh.

"Tony I told you she had you wrapped around her little finger," Rhodey says while shaking his head.

"She has all of you wrapped around her finger," Pepper says.

No one in the room denies it. We finish the meal off and Pepper assigns Peter and Harley to the dishes.

Harley points at me, "How come AJ isn't being forced to do the dishes?"

"Because he cooked. Have you ever cooked while you stayed here?"

Both boys wordlessly go to the kitchen to wash and put away the dishes.

Rhodey stands up and says, "Well Tony, thanks for breakfast but I got a meeting that I need to get ready for. I'll call you and let you know the next time I'm in town alright?"

Tony stands to give Rhodey a goodbye hug, "Ok Rhodey. You know you are welcome anytime."

Happy and May also stand. Happy speaks, "We better get going to. You want a ride back Rhodey?"

Rhodey nods as he says goodbye to Morgan and Pepper. He turns to me as he leaves the room, "It's nice to meet you AJ. I hope to see more of you."

"You too Rhodey."

Happy and May also leave. As soon as their out the door Morgan turns to me, "We got to go see if Petey and Harley are done so we can play."

"What are we playing?"

Her smirk is identical to her father's as she says, "I can't tell you unless Petey and Harley are here."

"Fine," I say as I follow her into the kitchen. I hope whatever it is that it does not involve dolls.
