AN: Thank you so much for the kind reviews, you have no idea how happy they have made me! Sorry for the wait, I still don't feel this is my best work, but I need to put something up, please review, your kind reviews are what keeps me writing!

AN: Btw far from home was incredible! I saw it the day it came out. No spoilers here, go and watch it!

For the second time in a row Peter was pulled from his sleep early in the morning by the ringing of a phone.

He nervously picked up his phone, glancing at the caller ID, before relaxing. However, that relaxing feeling was soon washed over by one of confusion.

''Mj?'' Why was Mj calling him? Last he checked they didn't have decathlon over the summer, and that was the only reason she had ever called him.

''Yeah, what are you doing weirdo?'' She answered calmly.

Peter smiled. It was nice to hear a familiar voice.

''Um it's currently four AM, so... nothing?'' Peter replied, still confused on why she had called him.

''Ok, so then what's up?'' She asked, sounding bored as usual.

''What do you mean? You called me?'' Maybe she didn't mean to call me?

''Did I though?'' She replied instantly.

''Yes, Mj you did, if you don't need anything, then I'm going to go back to bed-''

''Wait! No, don't go, I actually wanted to talk to you.'' She said desperately.

Peter's heart skipped a beat. Why did she want to talk to him so bad? While it was probably just something about school, he couldn't help but hope that maybe...

Peter waited a few seconds for her to continue, but she was silent. ''Ok, um, are, are you gonna, talk? It's just I kind of-''

''I like you Peter.'' She said suddenly.

''I, what?'' Woah, woah, woah, wait. He had to be hearing things.

''I like you. I know, I just wanted you to know, even if the feeling isn't mutual and teen romance is basically stupid and pointless, and I'm probably going to regret this-''

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh. Peter's heart was thumping faster than ever. His crush just admitted that she liked him back!

''Peter? I knew I shouldn't have said anything.''

''No, I, you should have! I mean I'm glad you did, because I like you too.'' Peter cringed at his choice of words.

They both sat in silence, neither knowing what to say, when Mj finally cleared her throat. ''So, I'm not really sure how this works, but I think you're supposed to ask me something.''

Peter blushed and sat up in his new bed. ''Right um, you wanna like hangout sometime?'' Was that what he was supposed to say? Gosh, he really didn't know what he was doing.

''Yes! I mean, yeah sure. I actually wanted to know if you wanted to do something tonight?'' She asked hopefully.

Tonight. That was like, soon. What about Tony? It's only been one day, since he had arrived at the tower. What if Tony wanted him here? So, much had happened the previous day, could he handle this, so... soon?

''Ok, so that's a no?'' Mj said, taking Peter's silence as a sign of rejection.

''I really want too. I just, a lot is happening right now.'' Peter replied, not sure if he should tell her about May.

''Oh ok, so get back to me on a time and place?'' She quizzed.

''Yeah, yeah definitely.'' He nodded, mentally reminding himself to talk to Tony.

''Ok, sorry for waking you up.'' Mj laughed.

She had the prettiest laugh...

''Totally worth it, although I'm awake now, and I doubt I'm going back to sleep, so what have you been up too?''

They continued to talk, for hours, finally agreeing to get some sleep at 6 AM.

…...

Tony:

Tony watched as his mug filled up with a fresh brew of hot steaming coffee.

''Morning.''

Tony looked back and found Steve standing by the stove.

''What are you doing here?'' Tony asked, dazed.

''You seem to forget that you aren't the only one living here.'' Steve replied, while getting out a pan. The kitchen was soon filled with the familiar smell of sizzling bacon.

''In my defense, I haven't had any coffee yet.'' Tony grabbed the hot mug, and took a sip, sighing dramatically. ''Give it about thirty minutes to kick in, then talk to me.'' He joked.

''Peter up yet?'' Steve questioned.

''Nah, he'll probably sleep in.'' Tony answered, remembering the previous night. He hoped the kid ended up falling back to sleep.

Steve set the bacon onto a plate and turned toward Tony. ''Rough night?''

Tony just nodded, wondering if he should tell Steve what had happened. If anyone he could trust Cap. Plus, he might even have advice. ''Yeah, he kind of had a panic attack.''

''What happened?''

Tony choked on a sip of coffee. ''Shoot! I didn't ask. I was so focused on calming him down, I guess I didn't even think about that.'' Tony sighed, scratched the back of his neck and looked back up at Steve with tired eyes. '' Just when I think I'm doing okay.''

''Hey, you are doing great! Don't say that Tony. This isn't an easy job. You've already calmed him down, now you just have to talk to him.'' Steve assured.

''Yeah ok, I'll go see if he's awake.'' Tony set down his now empty mug and headed up to Peter's room.

''Hey, you awake?'' He said quietly. Peter rolled over to face him, revealing the dark circles around his eyes.

''No, I just fell asleep, is it time to get up?'' He asked, clearly not fully awake.

''You just fell asleep? Peter it's eight am.'' Tony looked at him with concern.

Peter:

''No, I mean yes, well I fell asleep after you left but then... I woke up again'' Peter wasn't sure if he wanted tell Tony about the phone call. Then again, he would have to sooner or later, if he wanted to hang out with Mj any time soon. Plus, Tony was starting to look worried. He took a deep breath and explained. ''I got a phone call last night from... a friend.''

''Ned?'' He asked while sitting down on the end of the bed.

''No um actually it was Mj.''

''Oh? Is she ok?'' Tony asked, knowing that Mj rarely called.

''Yeah, yeah she's um, she's great.''

Tony raised an eyebrow at that. ''What did she want? It must have been urgent if she was calling you that early.''

''Just to tell me that she likes me.'' Peter explained.

Tony gave a knowing smile. Peter may have let it slip a few times that he had a thing for her, while working with Tony. ''Well that's good, isn't it?

''Yeah, it's great.'' Peter nodded.

''What did you say?'' Tony coaxed.

''Well I just, I told her that I liked her too.'' Peter was surprised to find talking to Tony easier than he expected.

Tony sighed and shake his head. ''My little nerd is all grown up.''

''Hey!'' Peter laughed, playfully throwing a pillow him.

Tony grinned, happy to see Peter laughing again.

''She wanted to go out tonight.'' Peter continued, still smiling.

''Like on a date?'' Tony waggled his eyebrows, making Peter laugh again.

''Yeah, but I don't know if I should. I mean with everything that's going on, it just feels...''

''Wrong?'' Tony finished.

Peter nodded. ''Yes, it just doesn't seem right that I get adopted by a billionaire, get to live with the Avengers, and get to go out with the girl I like.''

''You lose, and you gain.'' Was all the genius said.

''What?'' Peter asked confused.

''Come on you're a smart kid, it's not that complicated. You lose, and you gain. You lost someone very important to you and it takes a lot to even partially fill in that gap.'' Tony replied.

''So, you're saying that I lost May, but I gained...'' Peter stopped waiting Tony to finish again.

''A whole new family. You've got all the avengers, Pepper and myself looking after you now. Plus, that new girlfriend of yours I suppose.''

''Not my girlfriend. We haven't even gone on a date yet.'' Peter corrected.

''My point is, you don't need to feel bad, you've had a hard life, and that's to say the least. This is just the universes way of giving back to you.'' Stark explained.

It's your fault. Your life was only hard because of your pathetic mistakes. If it weren't for you, they would still be alive. You don't deserve this. There must be a catch, there must.

''Peter?'' Tony spoke suddenly, rescuing Peter from his thoughts. For now. 'You okay?''

Peter just nodded his head, as he blinked back tears.

''No, you're not. Come here.'' Tony gently pulled Peter into a hug. ''You wanna tell me what happened last night?''

Peter knew he was talking about the panic attack. The nightmare. That was what started it all. A silly dream. ''Nothing.'' He said flatly, pulling away from Tony's warm embrace.

''That is not going to work for me buddy. I guarantee whatever it is I can help, but I need you to talk to me. So please for your sake, tell me what happened.'' Tony voice was sterner, but still softer than usual.

Peter swallowed and took a deep breath. There was no getting out of this one. ''It was just a stupid dream. It's fine, and before you ask, no I do not want to talk about it.''

Tony hesitated, clearly having been about to ask that question. ''Ok, that's fine, we'll talk about it another time. Just promise me that if it happens again, you'll come get me?''

''Yeah okay.''

''Good. Now about this girl, you definitely don't want to hang with her tonight?'' He quizzed.

Peter shook his head slowly.

''Alright, why don't we go get you something to eat, all you ate in the last twenty-four hours was what, like a handful of popcorn?''

''Mr. Stark I'm really not hungry.'' Peter protested. He really didn't feel hungry, just simply exhausted.

Tony raised his eye brows at the Mr. Stark but brushed it off just this once. ''Yeah right, with your metabolism you're probably about to pass out.'' He scoffed.

Come to think of it, Peter was feeling kind of sick, but he thought he was just tired. ''I'm not about to pass out, I'm fine.'' He argued, rolling his eyes.

''Stand up and walk to your door and back.'' Stark ordered.

''What? Um, why?''

''Do it.'' Tony instructed, louder this time

''Ok, ok.'' Peter stood up quickly, dizziness washing over his and he rose to his feet. Oh boy. He took a few shaky steps forward and barely made it to the door before sinking to his knees. Yep, he was low.

Tony:

Tony rushed over to helped him up. ''Jeez I was joking about the passing out part, didn't think you'd actually collapse like that.''

Peter looked up at his mentor, but his eyes were focused elsewhere. ''I'm gonna pass out.'' He warned, his voice sounding scared and far away.

''You're okay, I got you, relax you're fine.'' Tony comforted.

He watched in horror as Peter's eyes rolled back in his head, and his body came forward. He managed to grasp beneath his shoulders and laid him down. ''Friday read vitals.''

''Mr Parker has dangerously low blood sugar should I call someone to assist him?''

''Is Clint up?'' He asked, since Clint was very experienced with low blood sugar.

AN: Clint is diabetic in this just because it helps with the story.

''He appears to be still sleeping, shall I wake him?''

''Yes and tell him to hurry.'' Tony instructed.

''I have informed him of the situation, he is on his way.''

Tony let out a breath. Peter's going to be fine, it's just low blood sugar. He told himself.

Minutes later Clint arrived, in tank top and black sweatpants.

''Morning.'' He said glumly, before taking out a black bag, and pricking Peter's finger with a small device.

''How bad?'' Tony asked.

''He's pretty low, when was the last time he ate something?'' Clint asked.

Tony looked down at the kid, sprawled out across the floor. 'Last night, but it wasn't much. Anything I can do?''

''Get Steve up here with one of those super powered energy drinks.'' Clint replied, not looking up from the kid.

Anyone could tell that the kid was already growing on everyone.

Steve arrived in minutes, energy drinks in hand, and was kneeling beside the teen along with Clint and Tony.

Clint was gently tapping Peter, when his eyes finally fluttered open.

''Hey welcome back kiddo.'' Tony murmured, while opening one of Cap's drinks.

''What's happening?'' Peter whispered helplessly, trying to sit up.

Clint helped him so that he was now leaning against the wall, with Steve and Tony on either side of him.

''You're alright can you drink this for me?'' Steve asked, holding the drink to his lips.

Peter's eyes threatened to close again, but he managed to grip the drink and take a few sips.

''There we go, this stuff is pretty strong, he probably doesn't even have to drink the whole thing.'' Steve explained.

Clint pulled the device back out, but Peter pulled his hand away before Clint could even try to grab it.

''Guess his senses are working.'' Cap smirked.

''He doesn't like needles.'' Tony explained quietly.

Clint nodded. ''Hey, I'm just going to check your blood sugar, it only hurt for a second, it's not like a shot or anything.''

Peter stayed still while Clint pricked his finger.

''Wow those things work pretty fast, he's all good now. Might wanna take it easy today though.'' Clint advised.

''No problem, thanks for helping out.''

''No problem.'' Clint and Steve said in unison.

''Now that I'm awake might as well get some breakfast myself.'' Clint grunted, before popping open a vent and reaching in. Seconds later he came out with a handful of trail mix.

Peter, Steve, and Tony just stared at him with matching looks of confusion.

''What, did you want some?'' He asked, clearly amused.

''Why the hell do you have trail mix in my vent?'' Tony finally asked. Why did this even surprise him?

''Um I believe the question is, why wasn't it already in there? I had to buy this with my own money and put it in there myself!'' He complained, with his mouth full of nuts.

''Right sorry, my bad, I'll make sure to have the vents stocked with trail mix from now on.'' Tony replied, grinning at Peter, who was finally starting to regain energy.

Clint smirked. ''Good, and don't get the kind with raisins, I hate raisins.''

''Extra raisins it is.'' Tony smirked back.

Clint glared at Tony, who smiled back.

There was a loud thumping sound, and suddenly Thor shot out of the tiny vent.

Everyone but Peter jumped.

''Thor what the hell are you doing!'' Tony practically screamed.

''Man, of Iron, I am very sorry about this, I was on an important mission.

''What kind of mission involves using a hammer to shoot yourself up my vent!''

''Ah, yes, allow me to explain, it has come to my attention that the cheery pop-tarts have mysteriously disappeared. I couldn't help but wonder if the man of arrows has been hiding all of the cheery pop tarts in these secret tunnels!'' Thor explained.

''No, you fart knocker! You ate them all!'' Clint yelled.

Tony, Steve, and Peter sniggered in the background.

''What, I'm trying not to swear!'' Clint exclaimed!

That was it. Peter burst into laughter, and the rest soon joined in.

Never a dull moment when you're living with the Avengers.
