So I know I did something on my conversations thing for the veterans but I wanted to do something else as well.

Peter woke up with a groan.
"What time is it Fri?" Peter asked groggily getting up to go to the bathroom.
It is currently 3:39 am Peter.
"Is anyone up?"
No
"Thank you" Peter finished his business in the bathroom and walked out of his room quietly. He went to the stairs and started walking up to the roof. It was November 12th. Veterans Day. The day WW1 ended. Every year on this day him May and Ben would sit on a roof they could get access to and watch the sun rise. Now that there both gone Peter still does it but alone. He opened the door and listened to the, surprisingly, silent night and went to the edge and sat. He stared at the still night and started singing.
(Start the music)
Yo, shout to everybody
Who's been on this trip with me
You don't have to, agree
But if you feel like me
Someone get this Aryan a sheet
Time to bury him, so tell him to prepare to get impeached
Everybody on your feet
This is where terrorism and heroism meet, square off in the street
This chump barely even sleeps
All he does is watch Fox News like a parrot and repeats
While he looks like a canary with a beak
Why you think he banned transgenders from the military with a tweet?
He's tryin' to divide us, this shit's like a cult
But like Johnny he'll only unite us
'Cause nothin' inside us drives us like this fight does
Similar to when two cars collide 'cause
Our spirit's crushed, and this spot's a tight one
But here the jaws of life come
To pull us from the wreckage, that's what we get pride from
When we can't from our stars and stripes cause
This type of pickle that we're in is hard to deal
But there's always tomorrow still
If we start from scratch like a scab, get the scars to heal
And band together for Charlottesville
And for Heather, fallen heroes, fill this wall with murals
Nevada get up, hit the damn resetter
Let's start from zero, this is our renewal
Spray tan, get rid of, get a brand new, better
America, and here's to where it all
And here's to where we all began, all began (stand up!)
Here's to the land that made me
And made me who I am, who I am (hands up!)
Here's to the land that raised me
This one for the only place that really knows me
From the cracks in the road that drove me
There's no place like home
Didn't wanna piss your base off, did ya?
Can't denounce the Klan, 'cause they play golf with ya
You stay on Twitter, way to get your hate off
Nazi, I do not see a way y'all differ
And all you got are race cards, bigot
The swastika with your name carved in it
Should be your trademark, 'cause hate's all you played off
And you just lick the plate off
So I guess it pays to feed off of chaos
So basically, you ate off Hitler!
But you ain't ruinin' our country, punk
Or takin' our pride from us, you won't define us
'Cause like a dictionary, things are lookin' up
So much, got a sprained neck, know we would rise up
Against this train wreck and take a stand
Even if it means sittin' when they raise the flag
To sing "The Star-Spangled Banner"
This man just praised a statue of General Lee
'Cause he generally hates the black people, degrades hispanics
Take it back to the Shady national convention
Wish I woulda spit on it before I went to shake his hand
At the event or maybe had the wherewithal
To know that he was gonna try to tear apart
Our sacred land we cherish and stand for
So, hands in the air, let's hear it for
The start of a brand new America
Without him and be proud of where we're from
And here's to where we all
And here's to where we all began, all began (stand up!)
Here's to the land that made me
And made me who I am, who I am (hands up!)
Here's to the land that raised me
This one for the only place that really knows me
From the cracks in the road that drove me
There's no place like home
I won't give up
I won't give up on my home, that so many died for
You already know that I won't give up
I won't give up on my home, that so many died for
You already know
There's no place like home, no place like home
Wherever I go, no place like home
No place like home, no place like home
Wherever I go (yeah)
Here's to where we all began, all began (stand up!)
Here's to the land that made me
And made me who I am, who I am (hands up!)
Here's to the land that raised me
This one for the only place that really knows me
From the cracks in the road that drove me
There's no place like home
"You have a nice voice" Peter jumped slipping off of the tower. The person quickly caught his arm an apologized. He looked up to see Steve's concerned face. He pulled Peter up who took a deep breath, than let a deep throaty laugh.
"Scare me like that again and I might punch you but thank you." Peter said with a smile. Steve smiled and sat next to Peter.
"What are you doing up so early err or late?" Steve asked after a few minutes of silence. After the accords where dismissed the Avengers became a thing again. Spider-Man also joined and so did Ant-man and a few others. But Peter was only known as Tony's personal intern who lives at the Tower.
"It's Veterans Day. When my parents were still alive we would visit WW1 graves with flowers as a thank you. Than when they died I did it with my aunt and uncle. Than it was just me and my aunt. Now it's just me. I sing the song every time and I still visit the graves. Every year I would visit someone different. Or a multiple different people seeing as there is a lot of Veterans who lost their lives fighting for us." Peter finished. A stray tear rolling down his face, laying there. Steve looked at the kid shocked. He and Peter never really got along seeing as how Peter was so over protective of Tony and literally broke his nose the first time they met. Yet here he was. Telling him something personal. He smiled. They were getting somewhere.
"I always thought I would spend this day alone. Fighting in a war is scary, and seeing as I fought in the Second World War, it was scary you know. I always thought I would die with the Howling Commandos but here I am, 100 something looking like a 25 year old." Steve said after a few moments of silence
"At least you're still protecting people from dangers. Maybe not with your first team, but you have the Avengers now, you were given a second chance to a family. And with Bucky too. I'd say you're lucky. Many would wish to look like you at age 100." Peter said chuckling at the end. They watched the sun rise in silence.
"Well I've got to go it's 4:30 and I have to get ready for my run. Don't stay out to long, it will get cold" Steve said, realizing the boy was just in shorts and a tank top. Peter just hummed in acknowledgement.
Once Peter was sure Steve left he got up and went to his room, grabbing a bunch of cash, got changed into some black pants and a black hoodie that had a small black and grey rose on the left peck. He grabbed a black mask that would cover his mouth and shoved it into his hoodie pocket along with the money. He left the building slowly and went to the nearest shop that was opening. The cashier smiled, knowing Peter and went to get 100 roses.
"Can you also give me 12 more roses. I also want to go see the howling commandos and my family." Peter said with a light smile. Daisy, the cashier, smiled and nodded.
"Thank you Daisy."
"Of course Peter. How it at the Tower, Stark treating you good?" Daisy asked with a hint of worry. She knew about Stark adopting Peter and was wary of it at first but when she saw how much Tony loved Peter she was glad he adopted Peter.
"Always good. Did my usual and watched the sun and sang Eminem's Like home song and now I'm here. Thank you here." He handed Daisy the money. She started getting out the change, but Peter stopped her. He knew he gave her 2 hundred dollars extra.
"Keep the change. Get yourself something. See you later Daisy." Daisy smiled at Peter and put the change in her pocket. She knew she wouldn't be able to get him to take it back, so she stopped trying and took it. She waved at him as he left. He waved back before walking out. Once he was a block out he put his mask on in a dark alley way and kept walking, roses in hand to the cemetery. He did his usual round of 100 than left that cemetery to go to where his family was buried. He stopped at his mom's grave first and put a flower on it. He kissed the top of the gravestone before doing the same with his dad Ben and May.
"I miss you guys. I went to the cemetery and gave 100 soldiers flowers like how we used to do every year. I'm going to also visit the Howling Commandos today. I'm going to try to get/understand Steve and Bucky better but I can't promise anything. I have to go before the cemetery gets people but I love you guys. Good bye." Peter Pulled up his mask, having had to pull it down to kiss the gravestones, and walked out with the remaining flowers. It was 5:05 which wasn't bad. Try giving 100 gravestones flowers in record time. He stopped once he realized he was standing in front of the graves. There was even a grave for Bucky and Steve when they were presumed dead. He later found out that Steve and Bucky where not going to get buried there when they did die. He placed the flowers but kept Steve's and Bucky's and one more that was meant for Sam.
"Thank you for your services........ Bucky and Steve are still alive. They fight every now and then but, I swear you could cut the sexual tension between the 2 with a knife....... they miss you guys, and they don't stop talking about you guys. Their always like, don't you remember the good old days with the boys. Man those where the days'- Peter said impersonating an impression of Steve and Bucky, and nailing it perfectly. He chuckled. - Steve's going to bring Bucky over soon so I have to go but thank you, again." Peter smiled at the graves, even though the mask covered his face and left. He saw Bucky, Steve and Sam running so he dodged them easily and got into the Tower, and his room, unnoticed. He climbed into the vents and dropped into Steve's room. He took a moment to look around.
His bed is in the middle of the room, 2 cabinets each side. Paintings hung up. Room painted light blue. A desk in the corner with a sketch book open on the top. He smiled before putting the flower in the middle of the bed and jumping back into the vents again and crawled to Bucky's room. He jumped down and looked at the room. It was painted a light grey with a bunch of pictures hanging up. A lot of the team but most of Bucky and Steve. Bucky's bed was in the corner with a cabinet next to it with a few empty water bottles. He chuckled, such a Bucky move. He decided not to invade on the man's privacy anymore and dropped the flower in the middle of the bed, just like Steve's, and left quickly as he heard the door opening. Last he crawled to Sam's room and plopped the flower on his bed and left not wanting to invade his privacy. He climbed back up.
He got to his room record time and changed. He looked at the clock and saw it said 6:00 am. He smiled as he walked out his room to the kitchen to see Sam and Steve chatting. They stopped when Peter walked in and smiled at him.
"Why you awake so early kid" Sam asked. Peter shrugged as he decided he'd make breakfast for him Bucky, Steve, and Sam. He made some simple eggs with bacon and set them a plate, leaving a plate for Bucky as well before going to the living room and turning on the news. He got 2 thanks you. He just hummed in response.
"Damn kid these are good! I didn't know you could cook" Sam exclaimed happily. Steve nodded his head. Peter just laughed.
"You don't know a lot of things about me." He said he turned to the news. It was just James Jameson bashing Spider-Man again. He rolled his eyes as he started eating his food. Bucky walked in 2 minutes later with the rose in his metal hand confused.
"Ok so I went to my room and I found this rose on my bed. How the hell did this get to my bed?" He asked Sam and Steve, not realizing Peter was there.
"Don't know but here's breakfast, Peter made it." Steve said. Bucky's head snapped to Peter with a sheepish grin.
"Morning Peter, and thank you."
"Anytime but that flower, it could be the black flower. At least that's what People call him or her." Peter said non-chantingly. The others gave him questioning looks as if to continue. He Sighed and put his finished and dirty dish in the sink. He washed his hands quickly before turning to them and sitting on the counter.
"Every year for a long time a family and a little kid would get 100 roses on Veterans Day and choose 100 different Veterans to put roses on gravestones to. Eventually 2 of the parents stopped and it was just 2 people and the kid. Then eventually just the kid. No one knew who it was seeing as they wore a black mask either covering their full face, their eyes, or mouth. The Black flower family is what they were called till The parents stopped coming and it was just the kid, that had grown a lot. The kid was called the Black Flower. The kid wear's a black mask that covers their face, black jeans and a black hoodie that has a black and grey rose on the left pec. It could be them or someone else." Peter said with a smirk as he looked at Steve who started turned beat red. Bucky's face turned red as Sam laughed. Peter smiled and jumped off the counter.
"But no one knows for sure. They believe their a myth but seeing as People have gotten pictures and videos of them people know they exist. But hey whatever you want to believe." He smiled as he started making the others breakfast and put it in the table. He got FRIDAY to call the others down for breakfast, seeing as it was 7:45 now and Tony had a meeting to get to in 2 hours. 1 by 1 everyone, but Sam, Bucky, Steve, and Peter seeing as they were already there, poured in tired but ready for breakfast. Peter walked out and sat on the couch the TV catching his attention. It read, The Black Flower strikes again.
"Hey Peter can you higher that." Steve asked, a bit too loudly. This caught everyone's attention. Peter sighed before higher-ing the volume.
"And today November 12th aka Veterans Day the Black Flower strikes yet again. Leaving another different 100 veterans flowers. Here is some footage someone was able to catch of the Black Flower leaving flowers on the graves. - the footage cuts to a man with a black hoodie on, hood up, black jeans, shoes and mask that covers his face leaving flowers on the graves. He turns around and looks at the camera man and winks before putting a finger up to his mask, as in a shush gesture, before leaving with a few flowers. The footage stops there- not many believe that The Black Flower exists but we have live footage here that proves he does in fact exist. Even though no one knows who it is, many have theories. Now for the-" Peter switched the channel before getting up and giving Bucky a look that said, see, and left to his room. No one knew who he was and he was glad. Well other than probably Steve since their talk but he won't talk, Peter knows it's not in Steve's nature. He smirked, the Black Flower Strikes another year, and another year goes as people come up with crazier and crazier theories. He laughed.
