Juice Pops

It was difficult for Pepper to make the decision to invite them. She has only met Peter a handful of times before the snap, although she had heard hundreds of her husband’s stories about him.

She knows that Peter was, to all intents and purposes, Tony’s first human child. He had had Harley, but Harley had always been a little more self sufficient, a little more confident in his own abilities, and so their relationship had turned into more like a junior version of the one Tony had with Rhodey, where he would shower Harley with gifts and scholarships and video chat to talk science every few weeks.

With Peter it had been different. Not at first. At the beginning Tony was so hands off he conducted ninety percent of their interaction through the medium of Happy. But later, after Tony had had to step in to help Peter with a couple of scrapes, and then Peter had nearly been killed rescuing a significant chunk of proprietary avengers tech from Toomes, after Peter had chosen to turn down the offer of becoming a full time avenger leading to their impromptu but very welcome engagement: then Tony had started to get involved.

It had started off with weekly debriefings, which later included Rhodey too. Then lab time became a regular thing. She didn’t get to be included often in these bonding times, her schedule at SI was too hectic, but she had sat in on a few meals and she liked the kid.

She ended up spending more time with May Parker, drinking wine and eating low calorie treats as they bonded over the difficulties of being the nearest and dearest of a Superhero.

Peter had been one of the catalysts for Tony to put aside his pride, see a therapist and get his head on straight. With all this, Tony’s hope for a child hadn’t been a surprise at all.

Then came Thanos, retirement and Morgan. The life that Tony had always wanted. It was, on the surface, idyllic, and after Morgan was born Tony became the happiest she had ever seen him.

But those first couple of years, her pregnancy with Tony so conflicted between his excitement, his guilt, and his grief.

They always say the worst loss to bear is that of losing a child, and Pepper had believed it, but she hadn’t understood it until she had to support Tony through his grief.

To her shame she had hated Peter for a while. The sweet kid filled with so much goodness and she had hated him for causing Tony so much grief, for hurting the man she loved so deeply. It wasn’t Peter’s fault, she knew that, and Pepper never once voiced her resentment to Tony, but it was difficult.

She was able to forgive him, later. Peter became a sort of mythical figure, Morgan’s amazing baby brother who would have loved her so much. Tony was always careful not to put the kid on too much of a pedestal, to include stories of his mishaps and mistakes as well. Tony understood the difficulty of being constantly compared to a perfect other with whom he could never compete and he didn’t want to do that to Morgan.

Nonetheless, Morgan had grown up with stories of Peter if not the reality.

Then Tony had gone back in time and saved the world, but died himself in the process. She was wise enough to feel for the kid, but Peter’s emotional openness made it difficult for her to be strong for Morgan, so she has pushed him away, communicated through the occasional email or phone call with May.

Besides, her grief had given her misplaced anger. Tony would not have risked what he had with her and Morgan if Peter had lived. He would have felt guilty about it, he would probably have eventually handed over the solution to Nat and Steve, but he would have kept his distance and not gotten directly involved.

Probably. She didn’t really know. However grief included anger and anger needed a target. She had been angry with Peter that he was now alive when Tony was dead. She had been determined to work through this before being in any proximity to the kid. He was not to blame and didn’t deserve her anger so she would be damned if she let him see it and shoulder even more guilt.

All of those barriers eventually gave way and this weekend had happened. May and Peter had been invited to stay and meet Morgan, and Happy had been invited too as a buffer in case one was needed.

It was going well. She discovered that any animosity she had held towards Peter had no place in her heart when confronted with the real boy. It was joy and pain mixed potently to have him bouncing around the house and playing with Morgan, so similar to Tony yet without so much of his pain.

She had taken a break, retreated to her room for a moment, leaving Happy and Pepper deep in conversation and Peter playing hide and seek with Morgan outside.

She emerged now, only to pause in the kitchen frozen in grief as she came upon a scene she had seen hundreds of times only with Tony instead of Peter.

Peter and Morgan were sitting in the porch. She was perched in his lap babbling on about her day.

They sat together, thick as thieves, as they shared a moment eating juice pops.
