Everyone Loves a Trip to the Park

Peter slid off his his bed, wandering out to the kitchen where he found Bucky and Steve making breakfast.

"Your plate's on the counter." Bucky said from beside Steve who was flipping pancakes, his back to Peter as he scrambled eggs in a skillet, though he tilted his head in the general direction of the kitchen island. Peter slid onto a bar stool and Steve turned away from the stove and slid a pancake onto Peter's plate.

"Don't eat that yet." He said as he turned back to the stove, making a second, and then a third, sliding each onto the boy's plate before passing a bottle of syrup and some butter to him, flashing a smile.

"Fanks." Peter mumbled around a massive bite of pancake, already shoveling them into his mouth.

Bucky heaped some eggs and four strips of bacon onto his plate not long after, knowing the boy would need something to hold him out while Steve made some more pancakes.

Peter practically inhaled the food on his plate, eating four more pancakes and another helping of eggs as the rest of the team ambled into the kitchen. When the teen felt full, he put his plate in the sink before grabbing a glass out of the cupboard and pouring himself some orange juice. He pulled the cartons of juice, milk, and the water pitcher out and set them down on the island as he returned to his spot, smiling in return at Steve when he grinned at the boy in thanks. He also passed everyone a cup.

Peter sat back down in his original seat, now between Loki and Clint, who seemed to visibly untense when Peter took the seat between him and the god. The dark haired man was slowly chewing bacon as he eyed the boy with slight curiosity. "You've had seven pancakes and two helpings of eggs and you don't even feel stuffed?" He asked.

"That's your second piece of bacon and you don't feel hungry?" Peter shot back.

"I don't eat much." The man shrugged.

Meanwhile, on Peter's other side, Clint was scarfing down four pancakes and a mountain of eggs. He paused mid-shovel to blink at Peter. "Wuht?" He garbled around his stuffed mouth.

Natasha slapped the back of Clint's head, who winced.

"Wuht wah 'at for?" He asked, mouth still full of pancake.

"Don't talk with your mouth full." Natasha said, smacking him across the head again.

Clint flinched once more before turning to the woman behind him, holding a finger up to tell her to wait as he closed his eyes and chewed. He opened his eyes again, swallowed, and put his finger down, pausing for emphasis before finally saying, "Bitch."

Peter choked on his gulp of orange juice, feeling the citrus drink rise in his sinuses. Loki snickered under his breath beside him, Thor and Sam were laughing loudly, and Bruce looked like he didn't want to be there. "He's got you there." Tony commented. Rocket, Groot, and Quill looked like they were trying to explain why it was funny to Gamora, and Mantis who looked vaguely amused. T'challa smiled broadly and Hill chuckled under her breath beside a Fury who offered only a small smile. Steve's mouth split in a grin beside Bucky whose shoulders shook gently with silent laughter as he tended to his eggs and bacon.

Breakfast went well, and Peter pitched a trip to central park to the rest of the team. Quill, whose face lit up like a kid in a candy store, admitting he'd never been, convinced Gamora, and Groot said something probably along the lines of the importance of fresh air to Rocket. Thor attempted to compel an unwilling Loki, who only relented when Peter gave him his puppy eyes. The rest of the group agreed easily, including Pepper who had come in halfway through breakfast after making a few business calls and Wanda and Vision who had slept in.

"Hey Cap you could throw the shield around with the Snow Queen over here and teach him some frisbee." Tony pitched to Steve. Peter found it vaguely confusing they were getting along, though he assumed five years of grieving for their lost ones might have brought them closer.
