Peter walked into the lab and saw Tony leaning over his current Spiderman suit adjusting the software again.
"Hey Tony I thought you finished the suit yesterday" Peter said with a grin.
"Hey Pete, I thought I did but I forgot to double check all the sensors and new systems" Tony said shrugging.
"Yes you did Tony yesterday I saw you, relax come on let's go do something fun" Peter said grabbing Tony's arm pulling him away from the work bench.
"Okay kid what do have in mind? Movie or something?" Tony asked following him out of the lab.
"Hmm that's a possibility but I was kind of hungry" Peter said.
"Okay kiddo, let's go grab a bite to eat. Just let me change real quick and then we can go"
"Okay but afterwards, we are watching a movie" Peter said chuckling.
"Anything for you Pete" Tony said with a smile.
Tony started walking to his room when Friday grabbed his attention.
"Colonel Rhodes is asking for you boss, he said he's in your lab" Friday stated.
"Of course he shows up there after I walk out" Tony said chuckling to himself.
"Oh is Rhodey here? That's okay Tony, we can hang out later." Peter said indifferently.
"Come on kid, let's see what Platypus needs" Tony said pushing Peter forward towards the elevator.
As they entered, they saw Rhodey sitting on the couch Tony put in the lab for Peter.
"Tones, I'm shocked when I arrived that you weren't in here tinkering like usual" Rhodey said smirking.
"Well I was until like 5 minutes ago when the kid forced me out, you probably showed up probably right after I got to my floor." Tony said laughing.
"Wow, the kid can get you to stop working. He must be a miracle worker." Rhodey said with a chuckle.
"Hey so can Pepper." Tony said sticking his tongue out at Rhodey.
"Not helping your case Tones, Pepper is like the definition of a miracle worker" Rhodey was laughing hard.
Peter was grinning at the exchange.
"Okay shush Platypus. What is it you need? The kid and I were about to grab a bite" Tony said.
"Of course you were. God, you became a dad real quick." Rhodey said giggling. "I came cause I wanted you to look at my armor before the next mission but it doesn't have to be right now" Rhodey said glancing at Peter while smiling.
"No problem I'll look at it later tonight" Tony said.
"Okay Pete, now I'm going to change. I'll be back in a few minutes. Rhodey don't corrupt him in that time" Tony said grinning.
"No promises Tony" Rhodey said laughing.
Tony rolled his eyes and walked out of the lab. Peter was laughing.
"So Peter, you think I'm going to corrupt you?" Rhodey said with a smirk.
"uh I really don't know how you could, but again I've only met you like twice so not sure but pretty sure Tony is probably the corrupter of you two?" Peter said shrugging.
"Well sorry I haven't been around as much as the other Avengers needed me in DC a lot to deal with the damage control after the snap, but I have heard plenty from Tony and Pepper about you. Hopefully I should be coming around a lot more." Rhodey said grinning. "You would think right" Rhodey added.
"That would be cool. You and Tony seem very close" Peter said with a smile.
"Since M.I.T so I got a bunch of embarrassing stories if you ever want to know."
Peter nodded excitedly.
"He will not tell you. I told you no corrupting Platypus" Tony said entering the room changed with his keys in hand.
"Oh come on Tones you've embarrassed the kid enough, why can't I tell him a story?" Rhodey said with a grin.
"Hmm let me think, Pete don't get me wrong I love you and all but you are terrible at secret. The moment Rhodey tells you something by tomorrow the rest of the Avengers will know and by next week it will be in the tabloids. I'm honestly amazed you can keep you identity a secret sometimes." Tony said shrugging.
"I'm not that bad at keeping secrets Tony" Peter said crossing his arms.
"Kid even I know you're bad at them" Rhodey said chuckling winking at Peter.
"Whatever Pete but come on, weren't you hungry? Let's get some food" Tony said pushing Peter out of the lab.
"Can Rhodey come along? You haven't seen him in a while and I'd like to get to know him more. I promise I won't ask about anything embarrassing." Peter begged.
"Curse your puppy dog eyes kiddo" Tony said sighing "Hey Rhodey, you hungry? The kid wants to invite you along"
"Oh you would think my best friend would want me to come, wouldn't you?" Rhodey said raising an eyebrow.
"Move your butt Rhodes, we're leaving" Tony said while walking to the elevator with Peter behind him. Rhodey caught up to Peter and whispered.
"Thanks kid. Whenever you want to know the embarrassing stuff, just let me know if dad's not around then it's story time."
Peter smiled widely as he joined Tony and Rhodey on the elevator.
Tony let Peter pick the food and of course he picked Thai. Rhodey didn't object so they found a restaurant soon enough.
Whatever dish Tony ordered came out with a very unique smell which made Rhodey comment "So that's why they call you Tony Stank?" he said laughing.
Peter was in the middle of chewing his food and nearly choked from laughing.
Tony patted his back "Breathe kid, a bad joke isn't worth dying for" Tony said.
"I'm fine" Peter said catching his breath "Who calls him that Rhodey?"
Tony looked annoyed at Rhodey but didn't stop him.
"Well a few years ago after the avengers first split, probably around when you first met Tony. Tony and I were working on my braces for my legs and discussing the accords slightly. We were interrupted by a knock on the window and we looked up and saw a delivery man with a package. Either he read the name wrong or it was written wrong, not really sure but the guy asked for Tony Stank, I lost it laughing, said he had a table for one by the bathroom" Rhodey said chuckling.
"Oh that's funny" Peter said laughing.
"Oh great now I get to be ganged up by Peter and Pepper or Peter and Rhodey" Tony said sighing.
"Tony relax even you admitted that it was funny" Rhodey said.
"Yeah but you two better not gang up on me too much, dealing with it at home is enough" Tony said sighing.
"Well we wouldn't gang up against you if you didn't take the wrong side Tony, you know Pepper is always right especially now" Peter said grinning.
"Yeah, yeah I know. Still would be nice for you to take my side sometimes" Tony said smirking.
"We do tony, relax" Rhodey said patting Tony on the back reassuringly.
"Yeah we just like messing with you" Peter said
"Kiddo you wouldn't want a taste of my revenge, it can be deadly" Tony said laughing.
They finished eating then paid and headed back to the compound. Rhodey decided to join them for their movie where Peter picked the Disney movie Mulan to which neither Tony nor Rhodey objected. Tony knew the kid loved Disney movies but when he glanced over and saw him singing along to the songs, he couldn't help but chuckle as he glanced at Rhodey who seemed to be thinking the same idea. He made a mental note to himself to record the next time Peter watched a Disney movie, he needed blackmail material in case Rhodey got any ideas.
