Tony watched Natasha take the food to Peter's room; he wanted to go as well but knew that Peter needed Natasha right now. Besides, he still had to explain as much as he could to the rest of the guys. However, Pyotr having recovered from seeing Barnes started to explain.
Pyotr explained what the multi-verse is and how there are many different spider-people, though most of them are either Peter Parker or affiliated with him. He told them a little about some of the different spider-people like Penni, and Peter B Parker who seem to be the original spider-man. It was not until they asked him about himself, and why he was here, that he began to falter.
Tony took up the explaining, "So, spiderling here, his mom was Natasha, I'm guessing you might have figured it out. Their version of the war with Thanos and the infinite gauntlet went badly. I was killed and his mom in a last ditch effort to save everyone put on the gauntlet and killed Thanos and his army but it was too much for her." He could see that Pyotr was hurting, as he instinctively reached out to hug him; he found that Barnes was doing the same thing. Instead of pulling back or making a snide comment, he continued to support Pyotr by placing a hand on his shoulder as Barnes did the same thing. Tony ignored the way Steve had a sad smile, knowing that through Peter Parker and maybe another version of him. He and Barnes might be able to co-exist peacefully. To Tony, Peter Parker was maybe the only one that could make it happen. He knows that Barnes... Bucky cares just as much for Peter as he does, and if that helps to bridge the divided then so be it.
Bucky is surprised by Stark's lack of fight when he sees that both of them are reaching to comfort Pyotr. He always knew that Peter would help to heal this team completely. Even though it has been several years since the team had imploded, they are slowly learning to trust each other again. On the field is one thing, that happened pretty quickly but there was still times that during battles you could see remnants of team cap and team Ironman in the way they paired up. He had noticed that both Natasha and Peter, when he is around, would try to bridge the gaps by purposely teaming up with the others. It slowly worked, but off the field in the downtime, it still seems at times that no progress had ever been made. Those that were on Steve's side only hung out with each other and those on Stark's side did the same. It was harder whenever Peter is gone either for school or to spend time with his Aunt. Peter truly does not hold a grudge and cannot rest if he sees everyone 'taking sides'. He enlists Natasha and even Pepper to help him, get everyone together for dinner, or a movie night or something, anything outside of fighting that they can do together. He knows that until Steve and Stark lower their defense and try to be the friends and brothers they were on their way to being, it would be one-step forward and two steps back. Bucky knows a major source of the problem is Bucky himself, to which he completely understands, he is not sure how he would feel if the man who had murdered his parents was living in his home... No matter how many times he tries to explain this to Steve, that Stark... Tony has every right to feel the way he does, but Steve does not see it that way. Bucky loves Steve but sometimes he wants to beat him with his own shield... sometimes he thinks about doing it, if anything
Tony might enjoy it and it would help this divide, but they never had that good of luck. Therefore, for now he will hope that their mutual love and caring for Peter will help to heal this team. Bucky feels guilty a boy... young man like Peter should not have the burden or have to handle the pressure of healing a team of adults, who should know better. Peter does not see it as pressure or a burden, he would do it even if it had no chance of seceding, but thankfully, he is doing it. Bucky can see that Clint wanted to also, do something, not just, because he is only one of them in the room that is an actual father. In addition, he cares about Natasha and the pain he felt when Tony explained about Pyotr's mom was not something he could hide.
Clint having recovered from seeing the younger, not quite Peter, or Pyotr here and finding out about other complete universes. However, when he found out about what happened to Nat... He had to sit down, as a SHIELD agent and then as an avenger, the possibility that you may not make it back is very real. So many close calls for both Nat and himself over the years, but one of his deepest darkest fears... isn't that he could be killed, but that his wife and kids will not have him there anymore, to hear Pyotr's story, to see the heart-wrenching pain on his face when Stark tells the story... it hit too close to home. He notices that both Stark and Bucky are putting aside their anger and distrust to provide support to the young man whose 'brother' has done so much to help heal this team... a job that he himself he's ashamed to say he's not done as much to help as he could. He needs to let go of his misplaced anger for Stark. He will always be grateful, when he made the decision to join Cap's side and ended up first in prison, then on the run, Stark protected, and provided for his family when he was not able. It had cause no shortage of guilt which translated in to hate for Stark... he needs to let go of the past and move forward, Nat has been pushing him to do so for a long time now, maybe it was time. He knows how to start. He gets up and walks over Pyotr he puts one arm on Bucky and the other on Stark and pulls them in to surround Pyotr in a supporting hug. It is so painfully awkward at first, but eventually Stark relaxes and Bucky tentatively puts an arm on Stark's shoulder moving slowly so as not to scare him. Thankfully, Pyotr does not seem to notice the tension... or if he does, he does not mention it. When he glances over to Steve, he is surprised to see the utter loss of what to do written all over his face. He removes his arm from around Bucky and invites Steve to join the hug, he sees a look of relieve and thankfulness as he steps closer and puts his arm around both Clint and Bucky.
Steve was completely at a loss for what to do. In fact he pretty much felt that way since he walked off the elevator, and walked in on what at first, was a twilight zone situation but as things were explained he was no less confused but it was something he could handle... until he found out about what happened to the boy's... to Pyotr's mother. Steve has been a soldier most of his adult life. He is used to dealing with losing people he cares about, friends, fellow soldiers... but Natasha, she is the soul of this team, if it had not been for her, and this team would have fallen apart a long time ago. To hear Tony explain what happened, and see the pain on that young man's face, He can see that Pyotr is reliving the memories in his mind's eye... He sees Clint sit down hard on the couch, a move he is thinking about doing as well. Then he sees both Bucky and Tony move to support Pyotr, there is a hesitation on both parts when they notice the other, but the protective feelings that both of them have for Peter help them set aside their differences in Pyotr's time of need. Steve is not stupid, he knows that Tony has a valid reason to feel the way he feels. Except every time he thinks about what he should do, he recalls all the times that Bucky had looked out for him, and he while he may not be stupid he is well aware he is stubborn as a mule, same as Tony, at times. He cannot let go of his friend, to many times 'I am with you 'til the end' was the only thing that got him through the situation. He sees a look of determination come over Clint's face as he suddenly stands up and walks over to Pyotr he puts an arm around both Bucky and Tony and pull them in to some kind of weird group hug with Pyotr in the middle. To the surprise of the men in the room, when Bucky slowly brings up his other arm to rest it on Tony's shoulder, Tony doesn't flinch or pull away, he looks at Bucky, and some expression flashes across his face, Steve isn't sure what to make of it. He is once more at a complete lose of what to do, does he walk over to join, does he sit down, does it go away. Thankfully he is spared this dilemma when Clint looks over to him and invites him to join, thankful he joins in and experiences what has to be the most awkward group hug he's ever experienced.
