Peter wandered into Stark tower, having changed out of his suit two blocks back, in deep thought, not bothering with the secretary as she knew full well who he was and his right to be there.

Why had he done that? Why had he kissed Wade? It was an instantaneous decision, but what brought it on? The college student pondered this as he hit the elevator button. He had thought about that all the way home and all threads of ideas lead to the general same conclusion, he liked Deadpool.

"Welcome home, young sir," came a slightly computerized but still pleasant voice.

"Hey J.A.R.V.I.S." Perter greeted in return absentmindedly, his thoughts still focused on prior events.

When had it started, how had this relationship turn from annoying acquaintances to possible boyfriends? Peter didn't know. What he did know was that he felt like he was on cloud nine. This odd, bubbly, giddy feeling had stuck with him since the kiss, making him feel like some love struck high school girl, but he didn't fight it. Sure it was a little embarrassing, but it felt amazing and the brunette wasn't about to push away such a pleasant sensation.

Surprisingly enough, the fact that he had feelings towards another man was not a concern to the college student at all. Most young men would probably be scared or worried at having such affection, especially considering Spidey had dated, and honestly enjoyed his time with, a couple of women. However, with his family being the way it was, he wasn't particularly surprised that accepting such feelings came easily. Wait... oh shit!

Peter began to slam the elevator buttons, desperate to get off on any floor but the one he had originally selected, but it was too late. The elevator dinged and the doors opened.

"Where have you been!?" Tony demanded, as he stood before the anxious young man slowly stepping out of the elevator. Steve stood beside his husband with a concerned yet obviously confused expression, allowing Peter to piece together what had probably happened.

Steve had successfully hidden his son's escape from Tony, but most likely J.A.R.V.I.S, having noticed the college student's return to the building, had informed his creator that the young man was home. How could Peter have been so stupid, he was usually much better at the whole sneaking in thing.

"Hey!" Tony yelled again, bringing the younger man's attention back to the present. "I said, where, have, you, been?"

"None of your business," Peter mumbled, and instantly regretted it.

"Excuse me!?" Why did Peter even try to fight? He wasn't going to win against his father.

"I've been with Wade okay?"

"Deadpool again. What have we told you about him?"

"Tony calm down."

"No, Steve," Tony countered, batting away the blond's hand that was laid on his shoulder. "Peter continually disobeys us and has the nerve to continue spending time with that... psycho!"

"He's not a psycho!" Peter argued, his hands curling into fists again as he looked at the ground, not wanting to meet his father's stern gaze.

Despite how it would appear, Peter knew Tony hated fighting, and he hated fighting with his father, but Tony's response to anger and worry was more anger. Now, the younger man understood where his father was coming from, but he also knew that he needed his independence to grow and learn, and letting his parents choose what was and was not acceptable for him to do wouldn't teach him that. Peter had started to straining against his parents' bubble-wrapping nature shortly after being bitten by that spider and gaining his powers, trying to push for independence. However, it always seemed to lead to Tony screaming over exaggerated issues and Peter running or being sent way.

"A-and he makes me happy" the college student informed his fathers, not quite ready to tell his parents that he might possibly start dating the man they disliked so much. "At least he actually believes I am capable of something, unlike you two."

"Peter, he's a burden on society. He's a paid assassin, a murderer for money."

"I know." That was one thing that the younger man didn't like about Wade, how he got his income, but he was getting better. He had been taking fewer and fewer assassination jobs and more that simply required that a target be apprehended. Sure he wasn't perfect, but he was getting there.

Tony let out an exasperated sigh as he closed his eyes, beginning to rub his temples with his thumb and middle finger.

"I don't want to talk about this anymore. Go to your room. You're grounded till I decide you've learned your lesson," Tony decided, pointing in the direction of his son's room. Peter stood stationary for a moment, glaring at his father, then glancing at Steve who wore an apologetic expression, before doing as ordered. "And J.A.R.V.I.S!"

"Yes Sir?"

"Once he gets in there, lock all the doors and windows. And block all internet and phone signals in there too." Peter growled inwardly as he opened the door to his bedroom.

This night had been so hectic, first another failed attempt at convincing his fathers he was capable of being in the Avengers, then an unexpected trip to cloud nine, only to come crashing back down to earth because he was stupid and forgot to sneak in. God he needed sleep.


I know this one is small, sorry, but the next part is rather long so don't worry.

You might have notice that I never say Tony, Peter, or Steve's last name. That is because being married, and the adopted son, they would all have the same last name, but I couldn't pick one. So you guys and gals can choose which last name they use. Some may say that I point out that their home is the Stark Tower, but I like to think that the Stark in Stark Tower is not just for Tony, but the company and his father. I do also call Tony, Tony Stark, but this is when I'm referencing him at a time when he and Steve weren't marred.

Some might be confused why Peter is getting grounded despite being a legal adult and in college. Well he does live under his parents' roof still and he can't afford a place of his own. Even if he could, being the son of the rich Tony/Iron Man means he would be a target of people who might try to hold Peter for ransom and get a boat load of cash. Sure, as Spider-man he could protect himself, but it would wear him down after a while and of course worry his parents to no end.
