Morgan Stark and big brother Peter.
When Morgan Stark is born Peter is 18 years old, just graduated high school and ready to start college life.
Tony and Pepper didn't hesitate to give him the title of Morgan's elder brother and Peter was more than honoured, he cried and hugged Mr Stark and Pepper before holding his sister in his arms for the first time.
She was so tiny, Peter almost started crying again and for a solid minute just stared at her, eyes memorising her light brown hair and face scrunched up in a adorable, peaceful expression. Her heartbeat was normal, and Peter felt connected with her entire being.
He missed the smiles on Tony's and Pepper's face, so entranced by the baby in his hand.
Peter spent a lot of time with baby Morgan and his presence had become a constant in her life that she always knew when he was around. Peter was her favourite person as a baby after her parents.
He babysitted Morgan a lot with Rhodes help sometimes and sometimes when he was alone with her, he would read her stories or listen to songs with her, dancing with her in his hands and loving how she giggled, her tiny arms wrapped around his neck. (Tony and Pepper loved those videos)
Then when Peter went to college, the Stark family realized how constant his presence had become in their life and everyone understood why Morgan would cry about wanting Peter.
But Peter made up every time he came back, spending his entire holidays with them and May, not leaving Morgan's side until the last day and felt the same heart ache when she sobbed in his arms every time he had to go back.
"I'll be back soon, M. I promise" he hugged her close to his chest and looked over her shoulder to look at Tony who looked just as upset and had a pinched look on his face, but once Morgan was in her mother's arms, the man hugged him so tightly and Peter smiled, his throat tight with emotion.
"Stay safe okay? And call us." Pepper brushed his hair away from his face and looked at the 20 year old who smiled down at her and her heart squeezed.
God, how Peter has grown. He was already taller than Tony and he looked older, his baby face was morphing into a handsome man's face and Pepper felt the same emotion she felt when she looked at Morgan.
Then a year later, someone leaked the picture of Pepper, Tony and Peter with Morgan in his arms coming out of a restaurant, Morgan's hands squishing Peter face and Tony grinning at both of them while Pepper looked like she was trying to hide her smile and suddenly the world exploded, theories about Peter being Tony's illegitimate child the top theory but was quickly squished down.
The next day SI released a statement about how they were waiting for the right time to announce it to the world that SI's hire until Morgan is grown up is Peter B Parker, Tony's intern who he has been training for years.
It had been a huge controversy until People meet Peter and obviously they loved how sweet and gentle his nature was and things went back to how they were except Peter was always in the spot light.
After graduating MIT, May and Peter moved to the tower and Peter started learning the trade from Pepper and Tony and Morgan was 5 years old now, who was more than happy that Peter was living with them now.
Tony and Peter became the most talk about topic for a while, seeing how close Peter was to the hero and obviously, when ever they were out Morgan was always with the young adult.
Morgan leaned more towards Peter, his kind and gentle demeanor and happy self was always uplifting and she loved her elder brother. Peter was there to drop her off for her first day of school, he organised her birthdays with mom and dad, he brought her gifts almost every week and he let her be part of his movie nights with his friends, MJ and Ned.
Petey was a protective brother, who would, as kindly as he could, tell the paparazzi to not crowd the 8 year old. Who took care of her when his mom and dad were away. He let her play with his hair and do his make up, let her touch his inventions, toys and was more than happy to bring her with him if she felt lonley.
Then years went by, Morgan was 10 when Peter got married to his highschool Girlfriend / one of the most badass women in the business industry, Michelle Jones and she was the flower girl at his wedding, Tony had literally become Peter's father at this point and no one argued that Peter was not related to the man.
Morgan was 13 when she became an aunt of a young boy, Antony Jones Parker and Morgan still remembers seeing her dad cry and hold his grandson in his arms, choking on sobs.
She thought the baby might replace her in Peter's life but her brother never let that happen. Peter, even when exhausted after a long day at work, always made time for his family, always present for dinner, movie nights, her school functions, playing videogames with her with AJ in his lap and Michelle curled up between them.
Their dad had insisted Peter as secondary guardian in her school after uncle Rhodey and Morgan doesn't think she will ever forget that day in her life.
She went to the same High school as Peter and encountered her first bully who for months had taunted her a lot, a girl name Innana. It was three months into her junior year when Morgan's patience snapped.
Innana commented how she was just a rich brat of a lame hero. How her family was so boring that her brother was not even her real brother.
Usually Morgan ignored her, but Peter made Morgan have always been a team and she was not going to let a jealous bitch say anything about her brother so she snapped and made her thoughts just clear to her bully.
One thing led to another and the two girls were sitting in the office waiting for their parents, Morgan nursing her hand and Innana her almost broken nose.
Innana's parents came first( obviously) and using the skills her dad taught her, she ignored how they screamed at the principal to expel her.
She rolled her eyes and picked her perfect manicured nails, when someone else entered the office and Peter was standing in front of her, in his three piece suit and a amused smile on his face.
"Hey." He kneeled down in front of her, ignoring everone else and she grinned at him.
"Hi." The relief she felt seeing him here.
Principal Morita looked at Peter with a strange sense of emotion, almost looking proud but wiped it of his face when Peter turned to meet his eye.
"Sorry for being late. " He smiled sheepishly at his old principal and sat down next to the girl's parents who were staring at him with wide eyes.
The principal got down to business and both side of the stories were heard. Peter squeezed Morgan's hand when she told them how Innana always bullied her. Obviously Innana's parents didn't believe her and snapped at them.
"Just because your father is Ironman does not mean you can do what ever you want!" The mother glared at Morgan and she was about to say something back when Peter pinned them down with a cold glare.
"I am sorry, but Morgan was clearly provoked. You saw the footage. It was your daughter who attacked my sister first and Morgan had every right to defend herself. If anything, your daughter should be apologizing to my sister." His voice was clam, like Pepper's but the edge in it was like their dad's when he was pissed.
Even though Morgan was suspended for a day and Innana for a week, she knew that Peter would have done more, like going Tony Stark on the girl's parents but stopped when Morgan squeezed his hand hard.
She looked at him, as he drove them back home and Morgan felt tears prick her eyes realising just how much he loved her.
He was literally the best brother in the world, who held her close when she was hurting, who stood by her with their parents when she needed backup.
She thanked her mom and dad for making Peter her brother and smiled when dad looked at her with that soft smile and caressed her cheek.
"He is the best, isn't he?" Murmuring softly, the retired hero looked at Peter who was laying on the couch, playing with little AJ while MJ ran her hands through his hair a smile on their faces and feeling their eyes on him, Peter turned to look at them and grinned.
Morgan loved her brother so much.
