Author's Note:

Okay so I kind of forgot to say this, but in this universe it's after Civil War and Homecoming but before Infinity War but all of the Avengers have made up and live in the Avengers Compound. None of the other Avengers know about Peter but they know about Spider-Man from the fight in Civil War and Peter is 16 in this. Also, I was expecting like nobody to read this but the favorites and follows and reviews make me so happy please don't stop every review adds a year onto my life thanks so much y'all!

"Pete? You wanna tell me what's going on?" Tony asked as soon as he and Peter were safely away from the team in Tony's lab. Tony was holding Peter by the shoulders and standing across from him.

"I, I'm sorry I totally forgot about the Avengers I wasn't thinking at all I'll just go I didn't know please don't take my suit away I can go home I won't bother you again I promise-" Peter started rambling as soon as he opened his mouth.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa! First of all, slow down, second of all, I'm not going to take away your suit, third of all, I'm not mad and I don't mind if you came if you need help, kid. No need to apologize." Tony reassured.

"O-Okay. Um, Mr. Stark, I need your help. I-I'm sorry, I don't know what to do, I can't do this-" Just thinking about May made Peter nauseous and he gripped the lab table next to him. It was hard to control his upper strength in his mental state right now, and the metal started to bend and crack under his hand.

"Alright, kid, steady. Just sit down and breathe. Tell me what's up." Tony gestured for Peter to follow him to a seat that he could sit in.

As soon as Peter was sitting, he took a deep breath. "Um, I came here because… because May…" Peter already had tears welling in his eyes and a lump forming in his throat. "Sh-She got in a car accident. Just e-earlier today. And, uh…" Peter did his best to stay stable in front of his mentor and role model.

Tony already knew what was coming, but he couldn't believe it. "What happened, Pete?"

"She didn't make it," He quickly choked out before his tears started to fall. "And-and I don't know what to do. I don't have any relatives left and I don't have anywhere to live and I'm not old enough to live by myself and she was the last thing I had and I miss her so much already please help me Mr. Stark," Peter said panickedly at the speed of light.

"Oh, Pete." Tony saw Peter suffering and even though he wasn't used to emotions, he mustered up the courage to wrap Peter in an embrace as the 16-year-old kid sobbed.

"Kid, I'll figure something out. Don't worry." Peter wiped his tears hastily and took a deep shaky breath as he pulled out of the hug.

"Okay… But, um, what are we gonna do about the Avengers?" Peter questioned

"Shit…" In the midst of this chaos, Tony had forgotten that all of the Avengers thought he was making a suit with an intern, not handling a grieving super kid. "I don't know. I'll think of something, don't worry about it Pete." Tony plastered a half-smile on his face.

"Also, uh…" Peter nervously started.

"Yeah, kid? What's wrong?"

"I… I can't go into the foster system, Mr. Stark. I-I just can't. Since I'm Spider-Man, you know, it's gonna be way too hard if I have to share rooms with other kids and I have my metabolism, you know? It's gonna be suspicious if I eat that much. And I can't be too far from Midtown Tech. I already take the subway every day to school and I can't be that much farther and plus I don't even know if the family is gonna even pay for it, right? I mean, why would they, you know?"

"Yeah, yeah of course kid! Here, for now you can stay with me. You already have your room from when you stay over sometimes. Happy can drive you to school. You keep up your Spidey-ing, and I won't have a problem with paying for Midtown or any of that. Okay? Or you could stay at Stark Tower, I could always just re-buy it, and I probably wouldn't be there a lot but Pepper would be. Whatever you want, kid."

"Oh my God, really/" Peter said. "I, I mean, I'll… I'd like to stay here if that's alright. I, um, think just I'm gonna go to my room now. If that's okay. I kinda need to be alone, this is a lot to process. Thanks so much, though, Mr. Stark. You can tell me to leave if I get too annoying or whatever, I can stay with my friend Ned if you want I just don't wanna be a burden or anything-"

"No, Pete, you're fine! It's fine if you stay here." Tony almost laughed. Peter's selflessness can be so overwhelming at times. God, the kid was so young and innocent.

"Okay, Mr. Stark. Thanks. I'm just, uh, gonna take the elevator, to avoid the Avengers and all." Peter didn't mention that walking was also a huge effort after all of the events of today. His aunt was dead and he was an orphan. An orphan living with The Avengers. Holy shit, Ned's gonna flip out when he hears about this.

Note: Another thing I forgot to mention is that the Avengers consists of Tony, Steve, Nat, Clint, Bruce, Thor, Wanda, Vision, and Sam, and Bucky and Loki live in the Compound too but they're not Avengers I just love them both too much to not include them. Please leave a review and constructive criticism if you have any!
