"I'm sorry, what?" Sam said, clearly voicing what everyone else was thinking.

Peter on the other hand sat there in shock. His face had paled rapidly and he seemed to be frozen in one position, hands shaking slightly.

"G-god parents?" He managed stutter out. What did Happy mean? May...May was his last relative.

"They had records, your parents chose them to look after if anything happened to them." Happy evaluated, shifting uncomfortabely at all the attention on him.

"So why was May given custody?" Loki asked.

"They were away at the time, travelling abroad and it would have taken too long for them to get back, so ultimately May stepped in."

"So why did I never get to meet them?" Peter spoke up for the first time, looking at him intently while fiddling with his the hem of his shirt.

"I don't know-"

"Even if they couldn't meet me why did no one tell me?" The boy asked in a small voice. They were his family he deserved to know, so why didn't he?

"Wait a minute, wait a minute. So why is this important?" Steve stepped in.

"Look there's no easy way to put this," Happy sighed, "Tony was Peter's Father, and since his passing he doesn't have a legal guardian."

He looked at all the confused faces before rolling his eyes and continuing.

"So naturally one of you guys would take over that role. However...with Peter's God parents, its different." Happy said.

"How so?" Bucky replied.

"Well, if the God parents wanted custody of Peter and to adopt him they could. And since they were chosen by Peter's parents they would be at the top of the list."

"So you're saying.."

"That if it were between you and them, with Peter's input of course, they would win."

A heavy silence filled the room as Happy let the words settle in for all of them. But he was mostly focused on Peter, the boy was sat still. His head was spiralling with different thoughts and nothing was fitting together.

He had family? But then..the Avengers were his family too. And if these people took him away, would he ever see them again? What if he didn't like them or worse, they didn't like him? But then what..what about, Tony? Oh God he would be-

"Kid kid, hey, hey look at me." Peter's eye darted to meet Bruce's when he realised his breathing wasn't even anymore and his hands had begun to shake again. "Don't worry, we'll figure this all out."

But his voice didn't sound as reassuring as Peter guessed he had hoped, and that made the boy panic even more.

"Let's just, focus here. Happy can you call them again?" Steve asked, standing up to pace.

"They said they would give you call but I thought a heads up would be nice."

Steve just nodded as he continued to pace backwards and forwards. He clenched his fists in anger as he thought of someone taking away Peter.

The silence was broken by the sound of his phone ringing, he hurriedly pulled it out his pocket and stared at the unknown number. Steve looked around at them all before answering the phone and leaving the room.

Peter could feel the anxiety beginning to claw at his heart; the fear paralyze his body. He didn't want to leave, not after everything, he couldn't deal with loosing anymore people.

"It will be okay, don't worry." They kept telling him but nothing would calm him, not until everything was figured out.
