Peter woke wrapped up in Tony's arms. Tony was snoring softly in his curls and Peter smiled. Everything he went through was worth it. Tony was safe. His dad was safe. Peter got a better look at his face. Tony definitely looked a lot better after some sleep but Peter was still worried. Peter slowly got out of bed careful not to wake his dad. He tucked Tony into the covers and placed a light kiss on his cheek. He loved Tony so much it hurt.
"Peter. You're not supposed to be out of bed sweetie." Pepper says walking into the room.
Peter puts a finger to his lips and points at Tony. Pepper nods and they walk into another room.
"I'm fine Pepper. Really!" Peter insists. It was true. Peter felt much better. Almost all his injuries were healed. He only had a few scars littered on his face and body but they would fade in a matter of days.
"Ok honey. Tony's going to kill me." Pepper sighs. Peter giggles and Pepper smiles.
"I've been meaning to tell you, the rest of the team is freaking out about you." Pepper says with a grin.
"What! I didn't mean for them to worry." Peter tells her.
"We can go visit them right now if you're feeling up to it." she says.
"Yeah!" Peter says enthusiastically. He really wants to get out of the med bay.
"FRIDAY? Can you inform everyone that Peter is coming to the common room?" Pepper asks the AI.
"Of course Mrs. Potts." FRIDAY says.
"FRIDAY can you tell me if Tony wakes up too? I don't want him to worry." Peter requests.
"Sure Peter." the pleasant voice tells him. Pepper smiles at the teen. He was so adorable and caring and he loves Tony so much. She wouldn't be surprised if the teen loved Tony more than she did, and that was saying a lot.
"Let's go Pete." she tells him. Peter smiles adoringly at her and they head into the elevator.
.
.
.
They walk into a nervous babble of talking.
"Peter!" everyone says at the same time.
"Hey guys." he says smiling.
They surround him but give him space to breathe.
"Are you ok паук малыш?" Natasha asks.
"I'm fine Nat. Really guys. I think it's Tony that you should be worried about." Peter tells them.
The whole team gives him a look of disbelief.
"Seriously. The kid was kidnapped and he's saying he's fine." Sam says incredulously.
"Welcome to crazy town." Steve sighs.
"Jeez, kid. You gave each and every one of us several heart attacks." Clint remarks.
Peter smiles and turns to the kitchen. "I'm starving." he says.
"Hey, the kid wants food. So get him food." Rhodey calls.
"Would you like me to order from the boss's default breakfast place?" FRIDAY asks.
"Yes! That's the best!" Peter exclaims.
Steve puts a hand to his chest dramatically. "How dare you! My breakfasts are way better than that trash." Steve says pulling Peter in and ruffling his hair.
"Heyyy. Steeeve." Peter complains, giggling.
"Cap your breakfasts suck." Clint smirks.
"Shut it Katniss." Steve says, sticking his tongue out at Clint.
"Real mature guys." Wanda says rolling her eyes.
Pepper smiles at the team's antics. She can tell the team loves the teen a lot.
"Peter. Boss is showing signs of waking up." FRIDAY says from above.
"Ok, thanks FRIDAY." Peter says. He turns to Pepper.
"I'll get him. You can stay here." he says. Pepper nods.
"Ok honey." she says.
Peter smiles and walks toward the elevator.

Tony is cuffed to a chair. He's in that dreaded basement. He sees Peter strapped to the wall, a frightened expression on his face.
"Peter!" Tony yells.
Hammer walks in the room and Tony snarls at him.
"I will break you slowly and painfully." Hammer whispers in his ear. Tony struggles against his bonds as Hammer turns the machine on. Peter's agonizing screams fill the room and Tony thrashes against his bonds.
"NO! PETER!" Tony screams.
Hammer takes out a wickedly sharp knife and plunges it into Peter's stomach. Tony screams and cries desperately trying to get to his son.
"Say goodbye Stark." Hammer says gleefully. He slashes the knife against Peter's throat and the light leaves Peter's eyes.
"PETER!"
.
.
.
Peter moves to Tony's side and immediately tenses. Tony is thrashing out calling his name.
"Tony. Wake up." Peter mumbles, shaking his shoulders.
"No. No. Peter. No." Tony mumbles.
"Tony. Wake up. It's just a dream. Wake up." Peter tries a little harder.
Suddenly, Tony is thrashing more in his bed, screaming his name.
"Tony! Please wake up! It's not real!" Peter yells.
"NO!" Tony screams, bolting up off his pillow.
"Dad. I'm right here. I'm ok." Peter soothes as Tony did for him when he had nightmares.
"Peter! No..no..no." he cries, tears trailing down his cheeks.
"Dad. Look at me. I'm real. I'm ok I promise. Look at me." Peter commands.
Tony looks up and gasps for air.
"Panic atta-ck." he wheezes.
"Tony. You have to breathe. Follow me. In and out." Peter tells him, freaking out a bit.
Tony follows him, tears still streaming down his cheeks.
Once his breathing was under control, Peter climbed into the covers and leaned into Tony's chest mumbling words of support.
Tony just looked down at Peter, carding his fingers through his kid's brown locks and memorizing every part of his face.
"I'm sorry." Tony whispers. He was supposed to be supporting Peter, not the other way around.
Peter looks at Tony with a bit of anger. "If you apologize to me one more time, I'm leaving." he says sternly.
Tony clutches Peter to his chest tightly, refusing to let go. Afraid that someone will take him away.
"Hey. I'm ok. Ok? I'm fine." Peter tells him gently. Tony examines Peter's face. Almost all evidence of his ordeal was gone. The purple and yellow bruises were completely healed. The lashes and cuts had faded into light scars which were already beginning to fade.
"Oh my God." Tony whispers. He had his kid back. Tony had his kid back. Peter was safe and in his arms.
"Thank you for finding me." Peter mumbles.
"Always." Tony says, looking into his kid's Bambi eyes.
Peter gets up off the bed and brings in a wet cloth. "You look like shit." Peter says, smiling a bit.
"Language." Tony says, imitating Steve.
Peter giggles and walks over to the bed with the cloth. Tony reaches out for it but Peter dodges and sits down next to Tony. Peter gently begins to wipe away the week of grime, tears, and everything else from Tony's face. The look on Peter's face is so full of love and trust like it's helping him more than it's helping Tony. After he's done, Tony pulls Peter into his chest again.
"I love you so much kiddo." he whispers, tears pricking the back of his eyes.
"I love you more." Peter mumbles into Tony's chest.
Tony's chest swells with a kind of love he didn't think he could feel again after his crappy life.
I love you most.

"Tony. I need you to call for a team meeting." Pepper tells him.
"What? Why?" Tony asks softly from the bed, careful not to wake Peter up.
"Thor's people are settled in Wakanda and he wants to see us and discuss the situation." Pepper says.
"Ok fine. FRIDAY call for a team meeting in 20 minutes." Tony groans.
"Ok boss." the AI says.
"I'm going to go change. And Peter's going to pout if he's not a part of this so you might want to wake him up." Pepper says walking out of the room.
Tony sighs. The last thing he wants to do is wake Peter up. He looks so peaceful in Tony's arms and Tony wants to keep it that way forever. But, Peter would whine till his ears fell off if he left Peter out of the meeting, especially if it was about Thor. Peter has always loved Thor and he would totally geek out over Loki. Something that Tony was definitely not looking forward to. Tony got up and headed to the bathroom. He would get ready and wake Peter up in 10 minutes.
.

"Pete. It's time to wake up buddy." Tony calls walking into the room. Tony freezes. Peter jerking on the bed, murmuring pleas. "Hey, buddy. You have to wake up." Tony says, shaking his kid.
"No...no...no please...stop." Peter mumbles.
Tony's heart breaks and he continues to try and wake Peter up.
"Help...no...stop!" Peter yells and wakes up with a jolt.
Peter starts to breathe heavily and Tony puts his hands on Peter's shoulders.
"It was just a dream Pete. Your ok squirt." Tony tells him, trying to calm the trembling boy down.
"I'm sorry. I-I'm sorry Tony." Peter whispers.
"It's not your fault buddy. Don't apologize. It's ok." Tony soothes.
Peter calms down after a few minutes in Tony's arms.
"Did...did I wake you up?" Peter asks quietly.
"No bud. We're having a team meeting and I thought you wouldn't want to miss it." Tony tells him grinning.
"Let's go." Peter says, jumping out of bed.
.
.
.
Everyone files into the meeting room looking confused.
"Hi everyone. Please sit, this shouldn't take too long." Pepper tells them.
Everyone turns their full attention onto Pepper.
"You all know that Thor and his brother, Loki, are in Wakanda right now. Due to recent events, I asked them if they could stay in Wakanda for a little while longer." Pepper says pausing momentarily.
Everyone nods.
"Thor has vouched for his brother. He says his brother means no harm to us. Is everyone ok with them moving into the tower for a while?" Pepper asks.
"I trust Thor. As long as Loki behaves, I don't see why it wouldn't be ok." Steve says.
Everyone agrees.
"Ok. But the minute he starts doing something suspicious, we're booting him out, right?" Sam asks.
"Yeah." Tony tells them.
"Ok. I'll let them know. They'll move in tomorrow." Pepper tells them.
"If this is done, movie night! I call picking the movie!" Clint calls.
"No! I want to pick the movie!" Peter says.
"No way spider-baby! I called it!" Clint sings.
"The kid's picking the movie, Katniss. Someone order some Chinese food!" Natasha calls.
.
.

"It's ok kid. You're ok." Tony soothes.
"I'm sorry for waking you up." Peter sniffles.
"It's already 8 AM kid. You didn't wake me up. Don't apologize." Tony tells him. Peter nods.
"Thor and Loki are coming today remember? You were super excited about that? Tony asks.
"I am! I can't wait!" Peter says enthusiastically, thankful for the distraction.
"They'll be here in a few hours. And for my sake, don't get too close to Loki please." Tony sighs.
"But dad!" Peter whines. He suddenly realizes what he said and looks at Tony with wide eyes.
"Um sorry. I-I wasn't thinking…" Peter trailers off.
Tony gathers Peter up in his arms.
"Pete. I'm honored that you think of me as a father. You have to stop looking at me like a deer in headlights like that. I love you and you can call me whatever you want...well you know what I mean." Tony finishes before Peter can say anything snarky like the smart alec he is.
"Ok." Peter gulps, swallowing the lump in his throat.
"Great. Let's go down and beat the crap out of Clint and Steve in Mario kart." Tony grins, ruffling Peter's hair.
"They're going down." Peter giggles, running to the elevator.
Tony smiles and takes off after him.
.
.
.
Thor and Loki arrive after a few hours of Peter beating the Avengers in Mario kart. ( Que Clint's complaining )
"Hey, Thor. It's good to see you again." Bruce says, shaking the Asgardian's hand.
"It's nice to see you as well." Thor tells him, nodding to the other Avengers. Loki stays silent, knowing his place.
"Thank you for allowing my brother and I to stay here." Thor tells Tony with a smile.
"No problem Point break. By the way, this is my son. Peter. He is Spiderman." Tony says.
Tony smiles down at Peter and Peter stares at him in wonder.
"N-nice to meet you, Mr. Thor." Peter stammers.
Thor laughs. "I don't think Mr. is necessary. Nice to meet you too, little one. How old are you?" Thor asks.
"Umm 16." Peter answers.
"You should be baby of spiders, not man of spiders." Thor smiles.
Peter blushes. "Wow! That's Mr. Loki! He was the one who tried to blow up New York right?" Peter says excitedly.
Loki is taken aback. No one is ever more excited to meet him than his brother. Loki manages a half-smile.
"But you're good now, right?" Peter asks naively.
"For now." Loki answers. He can't help but like this child just a little bit.
"Let's go inside, shall we? We have a lot to discuss." Rhodey says, ushering them inside.
.
.
.
The Avengers catch up with Thor. Peter gets bored after an hour and quietly slips out of the room after telling Tony that he's leaving. Peter walks into the common room and is surprised to see Loki there. Peter didn't notice Loki wasn't in the meeting room.
"Hi Mr. Loki. Umm do you mind if I sit here?" Peter asks, pointing to the opposite couch.
"I guess not. A little company would not go amiss." Loki tells him. Normally, Loki would snap at anyone that asks to keep him company, but there was something about this young child that Loki liked.
Peter sits down silently.
Loki studies Peter carefully. "Shouldn't you hate me? I did attack your home." Loki asks tentatively.
"Tony says he trusts Thor and Thor vouched for you. I trust Tony. But also, you're super cool, so I probably couldn't hate you if I tried!" Peter says geekily.
"That's a first. Usually, most of the attention goes to my brother." Loki says in spite of himself. Why is he talking to this child again?
"Well Thor is awesomely cool and all but to be honest your magic powers are just as cool. Don't tell him but maybe even cooler." Peter says honestly.
Loki smiles genuinely. He definitely liked this child. No one ever liked him over his brother. Loki loved his brother, though he would never admit it, but being outshined your whole life is not exactly a great time.
"You are an interesting child." Loki tells him thoughtfully.
"Not as interesting as you. I mean you're a God!" Peter says excitedly.
Loki shrugs.
"Can you do some magic?" Peter asks, looking at him with an amazed expression.
Loki rolled his eyes, secretly pleased, and snapped his fingers. In a glow of green light, a dagger appeared in Peter's hand.
"Wow! That was awesome! Can Thor do that?" Peter asks as Loki snaps his fingers again and the dagger disappears.
"No. He has the power of wielding lightning and Mjölnir. I have sorcery and magic." Loki explains.
"Well making whatever you want, appear, is sooo cool! Even cooler than lightning!" Peter tells him.
Peter pales. "Don't tell Thor I said that." he pleads.
Loki nods. "I doubt my brother would mind. Everyone is always drooling over him. I don't get much attention. I also don't know why I'm telling all this to a child I just met." Loki says shaking his head.
"Well, I for one think you deserve more credit." Peter tells him honestly.
"You don't know what you're talking about little one. I've done many terrible things that I do regret." Loki says bitterly.
"Everyone can change. I think you're a good person. You just had a rough beginning...a little like me." Peter says.
Loki blinks. This boy could see past all the countless mental walls and barriers he had put up.
"And why do you think that child?" Loki asks the boy.
"I don't know. Just a hunch." Peter shrugs.
Loki laughs a little. "What?" Peter asks self-consciously.
"I think I can tolerate you. That is a compliment as I cannot tolerate most people." Loki says genuinely.
"Thanks? I guess?" Peter says confused.
Loki smirks and the Avengers fill into the common room.
.
.
"Are you corrupting my kid?" Tony asks, more than slightly suspicious.
"I don't think anyone can corrupt this child Stark. He is too good for his own good." Loki tells him, rolling his eyes.
"Damn right. Stay away from him." Tony says, glaring at Loki.
"Loki, stay away from the kid if you know what's good for you." Natasha tells him, her tone steely and defensive.
"Guys. You're not even giving him a chance. Everyone deserves a second chance and that includes Loki. And plus, Loki's really nice." Peter insists.
Thor smiles at Peter and Loki looks away. He wasn't used to anyone defending him.
The Avengers look down sheepishly.
"The kid's right. Let's give him a break." Steve says kindly.
"I appreciate it. I swear that I will not cause you all any trouble." Loki says sincerely.
They nod and sit down in front of the T.V.
.
.
.
After watching a few movies, everyone starts to fall in for the night.
"Kid. You want to come to my room tonight?" Tony asks, noticing his kid's scared expression.
"You don't have to Tony-" Peter starts.
"I want to. The bed's bigger than a King and Pepper thinks of you as her son anyway. Your coming." Tony says.
"Ok." Peter says happily.
Tony and Peter direct Thor and Loki to their rooms ( which are next to each other ) then bade them goodnight as they head to Tony's bedroom.
"I like that child." Thor and Loki say at the same time.
Thor smiles and Loki offers him a half-grin as they head in for the night in their new home.
Yes, Loki's going to be all protective over Peter as their relationship grows! Omg it's soo cute!
