After they had fought Thanos off - even if that meant they had to twist and turn time to win - there were several days of celebration. After that each Avenger was granted a break and most of them could happily live with that. They were all proud of what they had reached and everyone seemed so fine with resting for a little bit... except Tony.

He wasn’t chilling in Malibu. Instead he had met Peter in a restaurant which Peter had picked. Of course the meal was all on Tony. He didn’t mind junkfood... he just wanted Peter to be happy and... they had to talk.

He didn’t know how to start this topic. He had turned back time to save Peter’s life so naturally Peter had absolutely no memory of that... dying, in his arms on planet Titan. For Peter that fate had never come and yet Tony had witnessed it all. In the moment he had lost him he had remembered all the things which he had never told him... how proud he was, actually, and how Peter had made his life so much better. It was the reason why they were sitting here now, Peter happily diving into his dinner and Tony - despite having food in front of him, too - unable to eat.

“Peter...” he finally said, looking at his food but really looking into the void. “We’ve gone through... a lot, haven’t we... and... there are a couple things you... you probably should know.”

        Peter laughed. It was a nice way of being caught off guard. He wrapped his arms around Gwen to spin her around, then held her close to his chest.

       ❝ What’s up, angel? ❞

She’d SQUEALED when he’d taken her up into his arms, giggling when he spun her around, a little out of breath when he’d stopped, arms wrapping around his neck. “I’ve just MISSED you, is all,” she beamed. “-- come bake with me?”

There had been a lot of things Steve was not ready for. However, there was a short list, one that Steve really couldn’t put into words; how not prepared he was.

Becoming Captain america had been one, putting up with his spouse Tony had been another, running the Avengers, losing then finding Bucky-- but, at the top of that short list had been this, this moment here. Steve was really truly not prepared to teach Peter how to drive.  How he got stuck with it he wouldn’t know (that was a lie he did know. Tony had insisted that Happy could drive Peter around forever. Steve had argued that it wasn’t practical which lead to Tony building a car that would drive it’s self. Steve wasn’t having any of it. Peter needed to know how to drive, by himself in a car like an adult). But, that doesn’t change the facts, they were driving down a neighborhood (slowly). 

Steve is nearly panicking in the seat next to Peter but trying hard to be supportive. “Stay closer to the middle of the road kiddo, you’re going to hit something. “ Steve warns the boy. “Peter!” Steve warns again, but Peter is too happily cruising down too close to the curb, the mailbox is taken out by the side view mirror. Steve grips the door handle. “Pull over, Peter-” The boy pounds on the breaks and the car lunges to a horrible stop. 

“The middle of the road kiddo,” Steve nearly groans.

@arachnidheart liked for a starter

“Steve said you’re from Queens.”

He can’t deny that he’s curious about the kid. Sure, there was very little that surprised him anymore but that didn’t change the fact that this guy has pretty fascinating abilities, presumably without being subjected to experimentation or being an alien from another realm.

Plus the kid’s from Queens, so he can’t be that bad.

“Has Tony hired you to clean the building now? You seem to be spending more and more time with us.”

Not that Vision was trying to interrogate Peter or anything. But he was curious as to why Stark had seemed so increasingly reliant on the younger man being generally ‘around’. 

Though he didn’t actually expect Stark to actually be using Parker to clean the building... But... 

His idea of a ‘joke’.

      ‘ i don’t know, i’d rather listen to people talk about prom then go on some trip to a building i’ve been to 6 times. ‘ as much as the trip seems like it’d be a good idea to get out of school, harry doesn’t particularly want to spend an hour on a bus. listening to ned was entertaining, but only for a short period ‘ ----- plus, i have like 6 shifts to work over the next week. ‘

[general starter call: steve rogers for @arachnidheart]

In truth, he was a bit wary of the kid.  Sure, Peter had proven himself a damn good fighter (having heart and stubbornness could carry a person a long way) but he was still a kid.  At least in comparison to Steve --- one could argue most of them were kids around him.

It was only natural for him to want ensure that Peter didn’t end up in over his head.  Steve moved towards him and gave him a bit of a smile.  “So --- when Tony roped you into all this, just what did he tell you to expect?”  He wondered if Tony had been honest or so in need of an ally that he glossed over some of the important facts.

“Yeah, I don’t know. I might come to regret that come Monday.” Steve looked at the other boy and shrugged, cradling his throbbing right hand in his left as he spoke. He really needed to stop getting into fights -- but then again, people really needed to stop being idiots. 

Steve had walked out onto his back porch to see Tommy harassing the new kid, Peter. Sure, Peter seemed a little strange, but then again that just might be rumors surrounding him and his arrival in Hawkins rather than Peter himself. Someone had spread the idea that he had moved all the way out here from New York City because he had committed a heinous crime. The actual crime varied depending on who you talked to, though the most popular one was that he had pummeled one of his classmates to death for talking shit about his dead mom and dad. That rumor had likely stemmed from the principal’s daughter, someone who was known to embellish in her gossip.

One would think that this rumor in particular would brand Peter with a mark of alienation like in The Scarlet Letter, which Steve kind of half-skimmed in last year’s English class, but apparently not, given Tommy’s behavior. If asked, Steve would admit that he too had found Peter a little too weird and enigmatic -- but that was before Steve had happened upon this situation. He walked up to the two boys and asked what was going on, only for Tommy to shove him and tell him to fuck off. This was a mistake, as Steve had decided after his run-in with Billy that he was no longer going to take any shit from any other asshole. Intending to honor his promise, Steve proceeded to deck Tommy square in the jaw, nearly knocking the other teen over with the force. While Tommy recovered from the blow, Steve made it clear that he no longer wanted him at his party -- and thankfully, Tommy left.

“But you know. It’s my fucking party; I can cry if I want to. Or, you know.” Punch out assholes. “You okay?”
