Hey guys! Sorry i have been taking forever to update! This chapter has nothing to do with the plot, but I just had an idea of Michelle meeting the Avengers, and being the absolute amazing person that she is, completely destroying and embarrassing Peter in the process. I think I'm placing this around and possibly before Infinity War, so MJ and Peter aren't a thing yet. If you want, Infinity War never happened. Everyone is just family! Please enjoy and tell me what you think!
P.S. Artwork above is not mine but I just love it so much!

Peter didn't intend to have his friend meeting the Avengers, who were practically family. He also didn't expect for this friend to find out he was Spider-man.
But in case you're wondering how it all went, here's everything you need to know...
________Time skip: His name is Skipper. Get it? No? Okay........______________________
It had been a calm Sunday afternoon. Peter had been up in the Avengers tower tinkering on his suit in Mr. Stark's lab. He had been trying to figure out he could get extra velocity for when he shot a web so it would be strong enough to not be blown over by the wind or natural elements. But so far, every test he's done has ended up with him on his back or colliding with a table, which doesn't seem like much, but in the streets of New York, it's not particularly fun to be knocked over onto solid concrete.
He had been testing for over an hour, but every time, he couldn't stop himself from being propelled backward by the force. He must have been completely losing it because when Mr. Stark came into the room coming to check on him, he had scolded him and grabbed the web shooters off of his arms and stuffed them in the closet.
"Come on Pete. I think you've had enough practice for today. Have you finished all of your homework?"
Peter gave him a small shake of his head and Tony sighed.
"Well, I guess you better get to it. Happy's going to drop you off at May's in half an hour."
That got Peter's attention. He turned to stare at his watch and saw that it was already 6:30 pm. He was supposed to be home by 7, when May's shift at the hospital end.
Peter yelled a "Thanks Mr. Stark" over his shoulder as he bolted down the hallway, earning a grumble from Tony in response.
He passed the kitchen as he ran towards the elevator and he could spot Bucky, Steve, and Wanda sitting at the dining room table, heads bent forward in conversation. Peter gave an awkward wave and he was surprised to hear Bucky call out from the group.
"Hey, Peter!"
Peter turned around. He would never get over the fact that they knew him know. They were all so close, but they still hadn't realized he was Spider-man. Except for Natasha. She knew everything.
And that definitely didn't scare him. Not even a little bit.
"What's up?"
The three of them looked at each other and then back at Peter.
"Who's MJ?"
Peter froze. There was no way. They didn't-they wouldn't...
"W-What? Did-did you guys..You didn't put a target on her back or anything, right?"
The three Avengers stared at him in shock.
"No," Steve answered, his calm demeanor sending a rush of relief through Peter.
"We just heard you talking about her while you were humming to "She's Always a Woman" by Billy Joel," Wanda cut in.
Peter watched as the three of them locked eyes with him. They wanted answers, and they weren't going to let him get away with out providing any.
"She's my friend at school," Peter answered.
They didn't look satisfied.
"Fine. She's my best friend."
They didn't budge.
"Who I might have a crush on," Peter finally relented.
Wanda squealed in delight as Bucky and Steve nodded in approval.
"What's she like?" Steve inquired.
Peter shifted awkwardly on his two feet.
"Well, she's really smart. And funny. But it's like a dark sense of humor, which I don't mind. She used to just sit with me and Ned at lunch-"
"Ned and I," Steve corrected.
"Ned and I, " Peter grumbled, " but now she hangs out with us all the time. She's nice, but she would never let me say that in front of you or she would kill me. She's just...really awesome and she doesn't give a crap about what everybody else thinks."
He smiled thinking about her, and he was so caught up in a daze he didn't notice Clint and Natasha enter from behind.
"What's gotten into him?" Natasha nodded towards Peter while Clint jogged over a grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge.
"Peter has a crush on a girl named MJ!" Wanda practically screamed, her voice piercing Peter's ears and he instinctively reached up to cover them. Steve and Bucky gave him puzzled looks but said nothing.
"Is that so?" Clint asked out of breath, leaning over the counter.
It was clear he and Natasha had just come back from sparring with one another in the gym. He could hear each of the breathing heavily and Clint was dripping with sweat.
Natasha still looked like she hadn't even stood up, let alone sparred for an hour against a trained spy. But that's just Natasha for you.
"I bet Peter would love to give you all the details, but it looks like he has somewhere to be. Isn't that right, Peter?"
Peter nodded towards the Captain, thankful for the excuse out of the awkward situation. He gave them all a quick wave before he rushed towards the elevator. But before he could press the button, Bucky called from behind.
"Peter?"
Peter slowly turned around before he locked eyes with the super soldier.
"Why don't you invite her over for dinner? We're having a huge meet-up next Saturday with everyone, so that way we can all meet her."
All Peter could do was nod as he backed into the open elevator in complete and utter shock.
What the hell was he supposed to tell MJ?
----------------------------------This is Jasper, Skipper's twice removed cousin----------------------
So that's how he ended up in the elevator, heading straight to the 92nd floor at top speed, some jazz song playing in the background.
"So," MJ's voice broke the silence, "you live here?"
When Peter had given her the news for coming along to the Avenger's tower, first she had slapped him.
And then she hugged him once he convinced her he wasn't kidding.
He had arrived at her house in a casual dress shirt and pair of jeans. MJ, being the amazing, not-taking-any-of-this-generation's-stereotype-sh*t boss that she is, was wearing a bright red pantsuit with a pair of red heels to match. Her hair hung around her head in curly, chocolate waves and Peter was absolutely blown away when he saw her sporting a shade of bright red lipstick.
MJ almost never wore makeup, especially to school, because she said "that she shouldn't be entitled to make herself the standard of beautiful society has created".
But when he saw her walking down the steps to the car, he wished she would look like that every day.
Okay, maybe he wasn't helping out with the fact that he had a crush on her.
The ride to the tower had been quick and quiet, but now the silence in the elevator seemed to swallow them whole. He didn't like having this unnatural tension between them. So when MJ broke the silence,he was glad to have an opening to talk.
"Well, no. I spend a lot of time here, but I don't live here. It's not like I'm an Avenger or anything. I'm-"
"Spider-man?" She cut him off, her voice determined.
"W-what? No! Why would you-when did you-"
"I had my suspicions back in Washington. Your reaction just proved it," she finished, leaning back against the wall of the elevator.
For a split second, as they continued to climb at over 20 mph, he wondered how she didn't fall over in those heels.
And then he snapped back to reality.
"Well, I-yeah. Do you want to say anything?"
"What?" She sounded hurt.
"Do you want to scold me? Yell at me? Tell me I'm being an idiot for doing this?"
"You're already an idiot," she stated, and Peter let out a small chuckle.
"But no. I'm not. What you're doing is amazing Peter. That's why I didn't address it sooner. I didn't want to make you second guess yourself and my safety if I knew. You have a serious guilt complex. You would never let me out of your sight if you knew that I knew your identity when the whole heist was going on."
Peter wanted to argue, but she was right. He would have killed himself if something happened to her because of his identity. He would be the same for Ned.
There was reason they called it a secret identity.
"Peter."
Peter forced himself to look into her eyes and he couldn't help but be drawn to her.
"I'm proud of you. Please know that. But just don't hurt yourself too much, okay?"
He could tell that she was trying not to get emotional. It wasn't particularly her strong suit. But he appreciated her words anyway, letting them flow through him like a new sense of energy.
He heard her mumble something like "don't let it get to your head" before the elevator dinged and F.R.I.D.A.Y announced their arrival and opened the doors.
-----------------------This is Jennifer. She is Jasper's twin sister------------------------------
Peter had been hoping to have a calm, pleasant evening with MJ that could show off his brilliance without it seeming like showing off and possibly having her leave thinking he was in over his head.
That's what he was hoping for.
Instead he got Pepper Potts, or Pepper Stark if you will, to greet them at the door and MJ looked like she could die happy.
"Hello MJ. I'm Pepper. We are so happy to have you!"
"The pleasure is all mine," MJ responded, barely keeping it together as she continues to stare at her idol.
"Everyone is so excited to meet you. Peter has told us all about you," Pepper continued on, winking at Peter who mentally face-palmed.
MJ couldn't even respond as they stepped out of a hallway and into the living area for the Avengers. Everyone looked up at the sound of Pepper's heels clicking across the floors, and they all looked at Peter with the same smirk.
Tony jumped out from his spot on the couch and ran to place his arm around Pepper.
"Hello MJ! I'm Tony Stark. So happy to have you over!"
He stretched out his hand but she didn't flinch. Instead she looked him dead in the eye before opening her mouth to speak.
"No offense, Anthony, but I have no idea where your hands have been and as far as I know, you haven't bothered to wash them either."
The room went silent and Tony and Peter mouths hung open in shock. Pepper beamed as she looked at the girl. Peter looked at Sam and Bucky who were trying to hold back laughter. Natasha was grinning wickedly.
But that's just Natasha in a nutshell.
Tony cleared his throat as MJ moved over to sit on one of the chairs across from the rest of the Avengers. Among the regular mix, in all there was Tony, Pepper, Natasha, Steve, Clint, Bucky, Wanda, Vision, Sam, Bruce and Thor who had been able to visit while Valkyrie took over for the day.
"So," MJ asked the room, clearly over her starstruck phase, "how did Peter start working for you guys?"
"I don't-"
"He doesn't work for us," Steve answered. "He's Tony's personal intern but we see him around the building sometimes."
"The first time they saw me, they tried to kill me. They thought I was an intruder," Peter included.
"Well.." Sam started but Bucky smacked him behind the head.
"He grew on us, and he's clearly grown on you," Clint pointed out.
"Yes, Mr. Parker seems to have an infatuation with you," Vision answered from beside Wanda.
"Really?" MJ turned towards Peter who turned at least 10 shades of red.
He was just about to respond when F.R.I.D.A.Y's voice filled the room.
"Boss, Happy is at the door and he seems to be struggling."
"Is he okay?" Peter's voice called out, and everyone in the room couldn't help but melt at his concern for the bodyguard.
"He does not seem to be in immediate distress but he is clearly having trouble trying to open the elevator."
"I'll be right down," Peter called out again, nodding to Mr. Stark and give MJ a soft smile before he turned the corner and out of sight.
Almost immediately, the room erupted in chaos.
"Oh my god! He has it so bad!"
"Tony, she threw you under a fricking bus!"
"Are we just going to ignore the fact Peter just-"
"It is clear that the Son of Spiders is in a relationship with Lady MJ. Whether it is romantic or not, has not been determined," Thor bellowed from the other end of the room.
"But we all know what he wants it to be," Sam muttered before Bucky elbowed him in the chest.
"I don't think my relationship with Peter is going to be anywhere close to platonic after this meeting. But, that doesn't mean that he is just going to get a quick kiss and shut up about it. Peter is smart and I know that for a fact, he is scared of me. He'll let me take the reins for this and so should you."
The Avengers all stared at the girl in complete shock.
"I like her," Wanda whispered to Natasha, and Natasha nodded in agreement.
The elevator dinged again and Peter and Happy walked in with stacks upon stacks of pizza boxes in their hands.
Well, Peter was carrying most of them while Happy was making sure they didn't collapse onto the floor.
"Mr. Stark," Peter called out, "I didn't know you ordered pizza!"
"Well, you know, you eat a lot more than a normal human so I ordered at least a couple extra for you, Spangles, and the Manchurian Candidate over here."
He stopped short and turned to MJ who seemed unfazed by his comment.
"Oh, she knows!" Peter hollered from the other side of the room as he set the boxes down on the dining room table.
"You know," he rambled on," I'm surprised I didn't find out sooner. MJ is one of the smartest girls I know, and that's saying something for a school full of smart kids. She's practically the only one beside Ned who can keep up with me. She is just awesome, and now that I think about it, I have no idea how I haven't told you guys about her earlier on. But here we are so..."
He shrugged in their direction, and no one noticed that MJ had gotten up and had creeped behind him. It was only when she spoke did Peter jump and accidentally get stuck to the ceiling.
"Peter Benjamin Parker. I swear to god I will haunt you in the afterlife if you-"
"I meant it," Peter interrupted, floating down from the ceiling as he came face to face with MJ, him flipped upside down and her standing on the floor.
They were all caught by surprise when MJ placed her lips on Peter's who immediately put his hand around her neck and leaned in.
Steve gave a solemn smile, Tony whistled, Wanda, Pepper, and Natasha clapped approvingly, while Sam and Bucky hollered with their fists pumped into the air.
"Get a room!" Clint shouted as MJ and Peter pulled apart, both of their faces flushed.
Tony just smiled as he turned towards the Avengers in the living room.
"Let's eat, shall we?"
