Since moving out of the Compound Tony still was a frequent visitor. The team needed him in some way or another it seemed like once a week. He had promised Pepper once Morgan was born that he was done as Iron Man unless they absolutely needed him, so he wanted to make sure they had all the equipment they needed so he wouldn't be needed in the field. About a month after Morgan was born, tony was planning on spending the weekend with peter, tony was about to head out the door to pick him up when he received a call from Steve.
"Hey Tony, its Steve"
"I know I have a little thing called caller ID what can I do for you capsicle?"
"Well Tony we received a call a few days ago from King T'Challa he planning on coming to New York for a few days we didn't mention it since I thought he was just going to be in the compound and I know your basically retired but he planning on bringing Shuri with him as you know she's in charge of all of Wakanda's tech so I know she'll want see your workshop and I rather you not bite my head off for breaking anything so would you mind coming by T'Challa may want to talk to you as well I'm not sure but it be nice to have you around while there here."
Tony sighed "I was just on my way to pick up peter for the weekend Steve let me tell him the change of plans"
"Tony don't cancel on peter because of this; ask him if he wants to come with Shuri is around his age I'm sure they'll get along great"
"I guess let me call peter and let him know see you in a bit"
Tony said bye to Steve then quickly dialed peter's number while getting into his car.
"Hey Tony"
"Hey Pete change of plans for this weekend"
"Oh I understand if we can't hang out this weekend, you're busy" tony could hear the disappointment in his voice.
"Pete relax I'm on my way to get you now. The change of plans is we're going to be at the compound this weekend"
"Why do they need you at the compound tony?"
"T'Challa the King of Wakanda and his sister Shuri are coming by and they want me there to show off my tech I believe and I didn't want to cancel on you kiddo so I thought we have fun with the avengers like old times plus you get a chance to meet T'Challa and Shuri, Shuri is about your age so I'm sure you'll get along well."
"Well sounds fun tony I'll see you in a bit" peter said smiling
"By the way Pete don't worry pep is bringing Morgan by tomorrow so you'll be seeing your sister this weekend" tony said grinning
"Good I miss that girl"
"Only her not me?"
"Debatable"
"Your such a brat, I'll be at your place in like a minute so you better be ready"
"I am ready tony, stop talking to me and drive"
"Ok I will"
Tony hung up his phone grinning he had been looking forward to seeing peter all week. Tony pulled up in front of peter's apartment building and honked his horn twice.
Not even a minute later peter came running out of the building his bag over his shoulder. He opened the cars passenger door and hopped in.
"You got everything you need kiddo?"
"Yeah it's all here" peter said showing tony his bag
"Ok good let's get to the compound can't keep royalty waiting too long" tony said chuckling
Peter grinned back at tony
As they drove peter thought he couldn't believe he was about to meet royalty well he has met Thor who was technically royally but he was for another realm so he didn't really act like royalty so it wasn't really nervous around him. Meeting the king and princess of Wakanda made him slightly nervous.
Once they arrived at the compound tony had to snap peter out of his daze
"Kiddo come on were here" tony said stepping out of the car
Peter quickly followed tony inside.
"Welcome back boss, welcome back peter" FRIDAY said as they enter the elevator
"Hey Fri you miss us here? Are the others playing nice with you?" tony quipped
"Its definitely more quiet without you here boss but I am installed in your home as well so it's not like your without me and the others are as well behaved as they always are" the AI quipped making tony grin
"Well can you please take us to the common room FRI?" tony asked
"Right away boss" FRIDAY responded moving the elevator up
As they stepped of the elevator into the common room peter and tony saw Steve, Rhodey, Natasha, and Sam on all the couches talking. With the sound of the elevator closing they all looked up and smiled
"Hey Tony glad you could make it" Steve said then glanced at peter
"Hey Pete how you've been?"
"I've been good you?" peter replied
"No complaints sorry we high jacked your weekend with tony" Steve said
"It's alright it not like it's not fun here anyways was starting to miss seeing your faces on a regular basis" peter said chuckling
Everyone started giggling before Sam interrupted the laughter
"Ok kid are you sure you're not Stark's long lost son you always act just like him"
Peter just shrugged and sat next to Rhodey.
"When is T'Challa expected to arrive?" tony asked
"Within the hour I believe they left Wakanda this morning FRIDAY will announce their arrival" Steve said
"Ok what should we do in the meantime?" tony asked
"I have an idea" peter said eyeing both Tony and Sam mischievously
"What idea is it you got Pete?" tony asked
"Mario Kart?" peter said shrugging then smiled
"Oh god not again" Sam responded covering his face
The others looked at him confused but chuckled.
"I've never played it, is it fun?" Steve said
Peter's mouth dropped open "oh my god how have you never played Mario kart?"
"kid you shouldn't be surprised if he hasn't seen an movies he definitely hasn't played games just go grab the game and well play ok?" tony said laughing
Peter jumped off the couch and ran into the media room and grabbed the game and ran back. Peter asked Friday to play it.
He handed a controller to tony, Steve, Sam, offered one to Rhodey but he declined
"Kid just watching will be entertainment enough"
"Pete I'll play winner" Nat said grinning and gave him a wink
Peter picked up his controller and quickly picked Bowser before Tony could.
"Hey no fair kid I'm always Bowser" tony said pouting
"Too bad be peach" peter said sticking his tongue out at tony, making tony roll his eyes.
Tony picked Yoshi, Steve picked Mario and Sam picked Donkey Kong.
Before the first race peter quickly showed Steve how to use the controller what buttons to push etc. he seemed to understand but the moment the race started Steve was in dead last.
"What button is go again?" Steve asked
Tony rolled his eyes at Steve trying to catch up to peter who was in first place.
Sam was somewhere in between.
Peter won the first race but after a few Steve started to get the hang of it he hit tony with a red shell.
"God damn it Rogers" tony nearly shouted "I was about to beat the kid"
Tony ended up finishing in 3rd because of Steve.
The last race was rainbow road. Tony was determined to beat peter. Sam practically gave up during the second race not even trying anymore. Steve had totally got the hang of the game by the finally race he had hit Sam and tony with multiple red and green shells making both nearly cuss him out. Peter was currently in first with Steve in 2nd and tony in 3rd when tony got the blue shell and grinned. He smile and he launched the shell knocking peter out of first right out of the end of the race. Meaning Steve won rainbow road.
"Never thought Steve would be the one to win rainbow road" Nat said laughing
"I'm pretty sure that took everyone by surprise Nat" tony quipped
Steve was about to fire back when FRIDAY interrupted him.
"Boss it appears King T'Challa and Princess Shuri have arrived" the AI stated
"Thanks Fri"
"Alright I guess we should go welcome our guests shouldn't we?" tony said standing to his feet "come on Pete" Tony helped peter to his feet. Then glanced at the others "is peter and me the welcoming committee or are you guys joining us?" tony quipped
We're coming Tones hold your horses" Rhodey responded getting to his feet.
The other avengers followed Tony and peter to the Elevator. As they traveled down tony could sense peter growing nervous. In response tony put his arm on peter's shoulder and smiled at him. Once the elevator stopped and opened the others started walking out down the hallway peter and tony stepped off the elevator and before peter started following the others tony stopped him. Tony stood in front of him and gave a warm smile.
"Pete I can tell your nervous about meeting them because they're royalty but trust me they act no different than you or me, like I said before I know you'll get along great with Shuri she's practically a female you once you meet her you'll know what I mean. But there's no use stressing over nothing it's just give you pointless grief" tony said running his hand through peter's curls
"Thanks Tony, let's go see T'Challa and Shuri Now" peter said smiling.
"Yeah lets" tony said smiling directing peter towards the door.
