Peter Stark: Life After Civil War

Part 10

"You look a little young to be here?" I heard someone ask behind me, he was wearing a typical business suit, but he looked arrogant

"Yes. I'm only 14, but I'm just an intern" I told him sipping my soda

"Who do you intern for?" I didn't really want to talk to this guy, but I didn't want to be rude

"Tony Stark"

"You're just a kid? How did you get a job as Starks intern? Clearly you must have done something to move up in the ranks" He said laughing, and I started to get really mad

He better not have just implied what I think he did.

"Excuse me? Is there a reason you're bothering my friend and Starks personal intern?" I looked over to see Wanda standing right behind him, and she looked mad

"Don't worry. We're just talking Miss...."

"Scarlet Witch. You know one of the avengers begin honored here tonight, also known for the ability to read minds and make people see nothing but their worst nightmares" She introduces herself as, I could see her eyes starting to turn red.

Without another word, the guy ran off.

"He was being an asshole. Your mom is about to make the speech introducing everyone and she wants you on the stage next to Happy" She grabbed my hand and she walked me through the crowd and over to the side of the stage where Happy was standing.

Perfect timing because Mom walked up to the podium and started speaking.

"Hello everyone and welcome to our brand new avengers museum. It has been a rough year for everyone, so this is a celebration to honor earths mightiest heroes. We are not just a team of superheroes, but a team of friends and family. We are honored here tonight to have the whole team, with exception of those who are stuck on another planet or in another country. Now please welcome my husband and owner of Stark Industries, Tony Stark!" Mom said into the microphone

Dad smiled at me before taking to the podium where the press was flashing their cameras and yelling out questions.

"Now please help me welcome our avengers. There are definitely too many of them, so please forgive me for not saying each one by name. You should know them all very well, including myself"

Steve, Natasha, Bruce, and Clint walked out on stage side by side and waved to the cameras as everyone started clapping and cheering. Dad took a moment to join them and take a few pictures. He also honored Thor who could not be here tonight because he was on Asgard.

"You know everyone here, but I would like to introduce a few new people that I am very happy to have joining our team....please welcome Wanda Maximoff, also known as Scarlet Witch, Bucky Barnes aka The Winter Soldier, and Falcon himself Sam Wilson" I clapped loudly as Wanda, Sam, and Bucky joined them on stage.

"Now before we all continue the rest of the celebration....I would like to take the time to talk about another person who was unable to make it here tonight. He is brand new to the crime fighting game, but we decided to honor him as well for everything he has done not only for New York, but for his own city. He is not a full time member yet, but please let's give a round of applause in honor of Queens very own Spider Man!" Dad yelled into the mic

I felt my whole body go into a panic. I looked out past the stage only to see a Spider-Man display. The display lights were shining on it and everyone was taking pictures. It had my old suit and pictures of me fighting. I looked out to my parents and they were smiling and clapping. I wiped the tears from my eyes and started clapping as I felt Happy pat my back.

Once he was done with the speeches and everyone went back to celebrating, my mom and dad came backstage.

"Thank you so much! I love you guys" I hugged them tightly

"You deserve it sweetie. And when your ready to become the superhero we know you are, the world will be ready" Mom said hugging back even tighter

I hugged them one more time before walking off the stage and making my ways through the crowd. I walked over to my display to see Wanda, Steve, Sam and Bucky looking at it.

"That Spider-Man is kind of an asshole who doesn't know how to shut up" Sam said

"You're just bitter because he was totally beating you in Germany" Wanda said laughing

"Yeah maybe I am" He said angrily

"He caught my arm. He must be strong" Bucky said and I swear he had a smile on his face

"The kid got heart"

I couldn't help but smile as they argued about my alter ego. I eventually walked away and talked to a few other people and told them about my internship. The night finally ended and we all made our way back upstairs to our own floors.

What a night.
