Peter wanders down the packed sidewalk of downtown New York, doing some personal errands when he was suddenly swarmed with a flurry of texts within the span of 5 minutes.

'Peter, you need to come home. Your dad and I have to talk to you.' came Steve's first, followed by Tony.

'What the hell is this!? Get your ass home right now! You have some explaining to do.'

'Is it true Peter?' came a text from his friend and ex Mary Jane.

'Petey, baby, what are we gonna do?' came Wade's. Several other texts came, some from other Avengers members, some from fellow heroes, all holding a sense of surprise and/or concern. The brunette became more and more worried as he read each one, though none explained what the supposed issue was. As quick as he could, Peter text them all back with various versions of 'what's going on?' Mary Jane was the first to supply an answer.

'Have you seen the news this morning? It's on all the channels and in the paper, Spider-man and Deadpool where caught kissing in some back alley.' The college student felt like a stone had been dropped in his stomach. He stalled for a moment, fear, confusion, realization, and several other emotions rushed through him before he finally moved, dashing to the closest retailer that had newspapers. Once there, he was sad to find himself and Deadpool, front page, sucking face.

After returning the newspaper to its place, Peter immediately called his boyfriend, ignoring the texts he had received from others.

"Baby?" Deadpool answered.

"Wade... what are we going to do?" The brunette asked as he slipped into an alley and slumped against a building.

"I have no idea. I should let you know though that they already contacted me. I must say, Tony can be quite gruesome. But I haven't replied, didn't want to until I heard from you." Peter sighed as he rubbed his hand along his face in thought. The mercenary waited patiently, trying his best to block out his voices' suggestions so he could listen to the younger man.

{I say we go to Stark Tower and show them what for!}

[You're joking right? They would kick out rears into next week. You did hear those phone messages right?]

{True, alright, new plan. Grab Spidey and make a run for the border. I say we head back north, they have full gay rights up in Canada don't they?}

"I have to tell them the truth." Peter accepted with a sigh.

"You sure? I may be over exaggerating but when a parent sends their son's boyfriend threats, I think that means they don't like him."

"Not much choice is there, no point in trying to hide it now." the younger man said, deciding to ignore the supposed threats. "We could just break-"

"NO!" Wade shot back causing Peter to chuckle softly at the older man's predictable response, before asking in a light tone.

"Wade?"

"Yeah honey?"

"Will you come with me, to talk to my dads?" The brunette could hear his boyfriend take in a sharp breath, like a hiss.

"I don't know, I'm not good with family talk, and your dads might just be more upset if I'm there."

"Probably. They're gonna try to get me to break up with you, or maybe try to pay you off." Both men knew this but the thought still stung. "But I'm going to fight back. They may have the power to ground me, not let me join the Avengers, but not this. I'm not going to let them take you from me." Wade's heart fluttered at this. It was the first time in far too many years that the mercenary felt like he truly meant something to someone. "But I can't do it alone, I need your support in this. I guess I don't have enough of a back bone," Peter joked with a sad chuckle, before drifting into silence.

"Don't worry," Wade assured after a short pause. "I'll be there for you."

*Time Skip*

The two obviously nervous men stepped into the elevator of Stark Tower. The older man looked down at the college student, who was taking long, slow breaths. Taking advantage of the calm before the storm, Wade reached out and intertwined his fingers with the younger man's. Peter looked up at the mercenary, who gave him a gentle smile. He could actually see it this time, as he had convinced the mercenary to come in jeans, a hoodie, and a t-shirt.

"It'll be okay," the merc with a mouth whispered, as if worried that his voice might frighten the other man. Peter gave him a wary smile, and Wade couldn't help but lean over and place a kiss atop his boyfriend's head, which the shorter man leaned into, as he squeezed the older man's hand. "And don't worry, I'll keep my mouth shut." The brunette couldn't hold in his laughter, making Wade's smile grow in satisfaction at successfully lightening the mood. Before the college student could say anything in return, however, the elevator doors opened and they were "greeted" by Tony.

"What is he doing here?!" Peter flinched at the sudden yell.

"This is half about him isn't it?" the college student asked, as he stepped out of the elevator, Wade in tow.

"So it's true?" Steve asked, stepping up beside his husband. Peter didn't answer, he simply pulled the taller man closer, who quietly obliged.

"How many times have we told you-"

"I know!" Peter quickly cut in. "I know you don't like him but I do. He makes me happy."

"That again? Wait, don't tell me that when you said that three weeks back, you meant this. You've been together since that night?"

"Yeah, pretty much." It was technically the next morning but Peter assumed his parents didn't care so much for the details.

"Look Peter, just drop this stupid, rebellious act," Tony demanded, receiving confused expressions from all the others. "I know you're only doing this to get back at us and try to show your 'independence.'" Tony continued, using his fingers as quotation marks.

"What? That's not what this is at all," Peter argued, offended that his own father would think he'd stoop so low as to date someone just to piss off his parents.

"Yes it is," Tony said with and aggravated chuckle, as if it was an obvious fact. Peter was about to say something but was cut off by the Captain.

"Whatever the reason," the blond started, sending a warning glare his husbands way. "We have talked about this before and you know our... concerns," Steve said, not really wanting to bring up their distrust of Deadpool in front of him.

"Yes, and I've told you there's nothing to be concerned about. I know and trust Wade wholeheartedly," Peter said as he stepped closer to his boyfriend, who remained silent as promised, courage and anger beginning to build up in him.

"Peter!" Tony shouted, his own anger rising as his son stood his ground. "You get away from that self-destructive time bomb right now!"

"No!" The college student emphatically declined, making his parents mentally stumble ever so slightly, causing his lips to twitch up into a momentary smirk. He was doing it, standing up to his father. "I'm not your puppet. I can date and be with whoever I want."

"That's fine, just anyone but him." Tony said, pointing a finger at the mercenary who continued to shift his glance between the family members.

"HE's the one I want," Peter said, a grin growing as he watched his father's firm stance begin to crumble. The college student squeezed Wade's hand in excitement.

"No Peter. You can have anyone, anything you want, just not him." Tony said, an undoubtable shake in his voice as his concern started break through.

"Fine, let me join the Avengers." The room when silent as all eye's widened and turned to the college student with the triumphant knowing grin. Peter laughed inwardly at the almost horrified expressions on his father's faces. Finally, after all these years, he'd won. Whether they liked it or not they had to let the brunette date Wade, since his parents would never let him join the Avengers.

"Fine." Tony said in a sigh, instantly smashing the younger man's confidence. "You can join the Avengers." All eyes then went to Tony.

"W-what?"

"I'd rather have you fight with us by your side then be alone and defenseless with this... man." Tony explained, obviously not happy with his decision of the lesser of two horrible choices. Peter stood frozen, mind beginning to race.

"No, this wasn't supposed to happen, he wasn't supposed to agree. The Avengers... I can actually be in the Avengers?! But Wade, I can't just ditch him." The brunette's mind bounced between his almost life-long dream and the man that had stuck with him, waiting so long for this relationship. He was so deep in thought that he almost missed when Deadpool spoke.

"Are you serious?" he asked as he stepped forwards. "No take-backsies?" Tony groaned at the childish phrase but nodded.

"Yes." Then came a loud pat to Spidey's back from Deadpool, having released the other's hand. "Congrats buddy, I knew you'd get in! Didn't expect it to be like this, but hey, you go kick butt out there." The veteran said in his usual cheery voice as he began to retreat back to the elevator. Peter stood stationary for a moment as he processed what was happening before turning to the merc and reaching out to him, successfully grabbing the older man's arm.

"Wait, I haven't agreed to anything." Before the mentally disoriented young man could say another word, Deadpool linked their arms and began to pull him aside.

"Excuse us, you know how some ex's can be sooo clingy," the merc with a mouth said to the fathers as he pulled the brunette into the nearest room, which turned out be to a bathroom. He didn't register the thump of Steve's fist connecting with Tony's shoulder as they turned away.

"What was that?" Steve criticized. "That's a little extreme don't you think?"

"Do you have a better idea?"

Peter's POV

"Wade, what are you doing?" I asked as the door closed.

"Stopping you from making a horrible mistake. Look, Petey, this is your life-long dream, you've been working so hard for this." Wade said as he placed both his hands on my shoulders.

"Yeah but-"

"But nothing," Wade cut me off. "This chance won't come again, take it while you can."

"This isn't fair though, especially not to you." I argued as the sinking feeling in my heart began to worsen.

"It's all good. It hasn't even been a month and we've barely got past second base, you'll forget me in no time. And I am getting something out of it, the joy of knowing that you finally achieved your childhood dream. I couldn't live with my guilt if I took that from you," Wade said, making me just want to stay with him more, as his expression slipped to a not-so-joyous one. Most likely in an attempt to hide the growing grief in his expression from me, he pulled me into a hug. However, I turned my head towards the bathroom mirror and was able to see Wade's face. Sadness, hurt, and all the other emotions that the mercenary was feeling were clearly expressed. They were the feelings that you get when you choose the more painful option, knowing it will benefit another, and futilely trying to convince yourself that you're 100% okay with it.

I could practically feel my heart shatter at that expression, almost as badly as Wade's probably was, but I was getting what I had dreamed of for years, so I should he happy right?

Wade finally pulled away, flashing a grin which it was painfully obvious he had to force. At least it was obvious to me.

"Well, better get going."

I feel this ball of guilt growing in my chest like I just betrayed my only ally.

Wade turned quickly and left, and I followed behind slowly.

This isn't fair. He's going through such pain for my dream. What does he get out of it? Nothing, I don't care what he says. Seeing someone reach their dream isn't worth crushing a relationship you've waited years for.

"See you around Cap, Tin man." Wade said with an exaggerated wave to my parents who watched him with raised brows.

He's waited so long, trying so hard to get my attention and I'm just going to throw him aside like this?

The elevator dinged as it opened and Wade quickly slipped in.

I have to stop him, tell him I want him with me.

The doors slid closed and he was gone, cementing the discussion.

I wanted to stop him... but I knew he was right. There were no promises that we would stay together, so it didn't make sense to give up my one shot at my childhood dream for something that might not last. Not only that, but if I did choose Wade, I would be giving up on my chance at the Avengers, and I might have lost my family. Steve would probably still see me, try to convince me that I should take back my mistake, but Tony could hold a grudge.

This is the most logical choice, but that doesn't stop the pain and guilt I feel.

"Peter..." I hear Steve call quietly but I don't look up.

"I'm going to bed, don't bother with dinner." I announced in a monotone voice before heading to my room. Thankfully neither of my parents disturbed me for the rest of the night, only J.A.R.V.I.S. popping in every few hours to see if I need anything, but I never do. I just needed time to calm myself, to stop the tears, time to try and will my heart to knit itself back together.


This chapter is why this entire story exists. I was slowly getting interested in the Super Family thing and there was this one fan art, which I will link to below, with Peter asking to join the Avengers and his dads saying no so Peter says he's going to Wade's hose in which Tony and Steve stop him. That sparked the idea that, what if Peter had to choose between the Avengers and Deadpool, then it grew and grew to be this! So I guess this story is dedicated to that art in a way, thanks for the inspiration who ever you are that made that!

The art that made this story: /post/tony-stark-steve-rogers-peter-parker-superfamily-mlart-oops-did-i-sneak-spideypo/26876667019
Also, I started writing this story before I knew what Peter's answer was going to be to Tony's offer, but I figured it out as you can see. ^^

I hope I didn't make Tony into too much of an ass here, hopefully you kind of get where he's coming from.
