It was tough being an avenger. Of course Peter knew that when he joined but knowing was way different than actually doing.
It was a day before junior prom, the day he'd marked out in his calendar as the day he would finally ask MJ to be his date. All was going good up until he received a call about a sudden mission the team was to go on.
"We need you now kid!" Tony screamed over the phone. Peter wanted to tell him that he wouldn't be able to make it, that if he didn't choose his personal life today, he might never be able to again. But he couldn't. The rest of them had commitments too, but that didn't stop them from sacrificing everything just to keep the rest of the world safe. Plus he was sure MJ liked him back, he figured she'd wait. And so he went on the mission.

"Parker and Iris will cover the backside of the building. The fire web combination you guys did last time was too destructive but maybe that's exactly what we need today." Steve said as Peter turned his attention to the lady in a white suit.
Iris had decided that she was Peter's older sister the day she saw him. She wanted to protect him like Thor and Loki did her. She lifted a hand up towards him when he shuffled across the plane to sit next to her but he showed no response.
"So the floor's more important than giving me a high-five now?"
Peter was lifted out of his daze. He rubbed his eyes, adjusting to the light in the jet in exchange to the floor. He let out a forced laugh, trying to make himself feel better. He was on a mission but all he could think about was how happy MJ would be about him finally asking her out.
Iris knew exactly what was up with him the second she looked into his eyes. Part of it was her intuition and experience with first loves gone wrong and the other was the power of staring into souls she got from her father. She was a god, sister of Thor and Loki, daughter of Odin, oh so very powerful but she still didn't know how fix the young man's problem.

The mission went rather well or so the rest of the team would say, but Thor's screaming cries begged to differ. The exit strategy didn't go as Cap had planned. Peter was supposed to web the end of the building up and Iris was supposed to set it on fire. The others would have exited through the side of the building, safe away from the fire, only Loki hadn't played a prank on Thor for the longest time now.
Thor was the strongest avenger, thus exiting at the end, making sure everyone was out first, when he heard Loki screaming. It was almost instinct, the speed at which he approached the back of the building. The screaming grew louder as he got closer, getting faster by the second. He could finally see Loki now, a spear through his abdomen. Thor was convinced Loki was hurting yet right before he could reach the wall, Loki disappeared. It all happened so quick. One second Thor was traveling by the speed of light, the other the Mjolnir didn't want to stop. Before he could process what was happening, he was already through the wall, on the other side of which Iris was setting Peter's web on fire. He screamed the second he felt the heat on his head, his hair now starting to burn. Peter through a web around Thor, pulling him out.

"How could you do this Loki?" Thor screamed at the black haired prankster.
