Peter laid down with his eyes closed. Aunt May and Uncle Ben peered into his dark room. She wore a magnificent red dress for this charity party and Uncle Ben wore a nice suit, which was great seeing as they all weren't that good in money (not like they were 'poor' or anything. At least not at the time). They had been planning it for a while now. Aunt May scampered in quietly before sweeping Peter's hair up and kissing his forehead gently. Uncle Ben ruffled his hair half-heartedly.

The two believed Peter was already knocked out cold, and wouldn't be awake to talk to Skip when he arrived. But that was not the case. Peter was completely awake. He was pretending. The last time Skip came over, they had been playing a board game, and Peter was close to winning before Skip hurriedly dismissed him off to bed. Peter knew he was just a sore loser and didn't want to lose to a six-year-old.

The next day of school went by in a flash. Peter found himself making cupcakes with Steve by his side, the two sharing their stories about their day. They were going to make at least a dozen cupcakes. (Nani!?)

Peter's eyelashes batted happily as he poured the mix into the tray before popping it into the oven. "Your growing up so quick, son." Peter giggled slightly, helping himself to the empty bowl and licking away at it. "I know, Pop. I know."

Steve couldn't help but ruffle Peter's hair, and Peter quickly sidestepped him with a whine. "Good God, can you guys please stop that?" Steve laughed at that, before going off to wash some dishes in the sink. Peter found himself sitting in front of the oven, his legs crossed as he watched the cupcakes bake in the oven in awe. Tony wandered in and smiled fondly as his husband and son in the kitchen, bonding.

That was all replaced when Tony saw Peter wearing Captain America slippers. Tony marched over, yanking the slippers off easily. Peter looked at Tony expectingly. "Peter, what-what is this?!"
Peter looked at the slippers and squinted back at Tony. "Those would be Captain America slippers."

Tony dropped them to the floor as Steve looked back at him with a soft glare. " Have you lost yo--This is an Ironman household, Peter!" Reaching into his pocket, Tony threw Peter slippers that had the Iron Man mask on it.

Peter reluctantly put them onto his feet before turning back to the oven, his eyes sparkling in fascination. Steve towered over Tony teasingly. "Aw, are you jealous?" Tony snorted violently, stumbling to catch himself against the counter, his face turning a bright red as he wheezed. "Me? Jealous?! Steve, you crack me up sometimes I swear to God."

When the cupcakes finally finished, Peter pulled them out and began to apply the frosting delicately. Steve and Tony looked over Peter's shoulders proudly. "Good job, Pete. Turned out better than the last batch," Steve chuckled as he looked over to the cupcakes that were inside a container. The had been slightly soft and liquidy in the center and had to be put in for another two minutes.

Tony hummed, grabbing one of the finished cupcakes and chewed for a moment before pausing. "Yea-yup! These are amazing, Underoos." Steve shot Tony a look that said 'grab another one and you'll regret it' and Tony simply grinned.

"I'm glad you like it Dad. Pops and I worked really hard on them." Peter helped himself to one, feeling as though he deserved one for being a champ for the past few months.

The fatherly moment passed as soon as Clint and Natasha came marching in. "We have a mission," Natasha informed, already in her suit, same for Clint. Steve happy-go-luck look immediately faded and was replaced with a serious look. "Call everyone for a meeting now."

--Timeskip--

Peter paced outside the door. All the Avengers, including Peter, went to the floor where the meetings were held, this one only being more of an emergency than others. Peter was still kinda pissed when an agent gently escorted him out of the room, saying it was 'adult business'.

Pressing his ear against the door, Peter could only hear Fury's muffled voice, a few times he'd hear Tony's muffled complaint or Natasha giving her own comment on something. Before Peter knew it, the door opened and the Avengers poured out urgently. Peter tagged close behind Tony as they began to leave the building. "So, what's our mission?" Peter bounced excitedly.

Tony glanced at Peter and bit his lip guiltily. "Uh, kid, can you follow me?" Peter frowned for a moment; Tony looked disappointed as he pulled Peter to the side.

He had been expecting to hear this, but it didn't stop it from hurting when Tony said, "You aren't assigned to our mission." Peter gave a slow nod. "How long are you gonna be gone?" Tony waved at Peter in a friendly manner. "Two weeks tops," Tony reassured him. Peter couldn't help but rub his chin.

"Facetime me okay?" Tony laughed at that. "I'll be back before you know it, kid. I mean, you got Happy and Aunt May with you for the next 14 days. You'll be fine."

Peter stepped back, watching as Tony and the rest of the Avengers walked away.

With a soft sigh, Peter went back into the Compound. Aunt May was already in bed, so Peter had no one really to talk to. So he took a quick shower and went straight to bed.

Meanwhile...

Flash and Hannah snickered to themselves as Hannah messed around with the syringe. "You are sure this will work?"

Flash gave her a 'duh' look. "My Uncle is a doctor. I've seen him do it a million times before." Hannah crossed her arms, placing the syringe under Flash's bed. "Flash we aren't trying to kill the kid, remember? Just trying to show him who's boss."

Flash nodded with a sigh. "Of course I know that. If he goes into cardiac arrest we can just call 911 and claim we didn't do shit."

Hannah couldn't help but giggle at his weird logic. "As always, you are right," Hannah sat down on his bed, her back turned to him. "Even if your logic is sick and twisted."

Flash grinned evilly. "That's what makes me, me."

Meanwhile with Wade...

Actually, I'm not even going to say anything. Just watch the video.

Wade was in his bedroom, door closed, a repeating noise coming through.

You be the judge of which one Wade is, lol 
(And no he's not cheating on Peter)
