WHEN PETER PARKER entered the main floor, alexa had beaten tony to him, embracing the younger boy who she saw as the younger brother she had always wanted. peter blushed a bright red, yet he hugged her back.

"it's nice to see you too lex." the sixteen year old boy said, alexa ruffling his brown curls. arm draped across her shoulder, they walked towards the others, tony smiling widely at the kid he looked at as his son.

"hey micheals, nice hight difference." alexa shot a glare at rhodey, sam snickering. peter released alexa from his grip as tony brought him into a hug. tony's head was buried into peters head, seeing how tony de-stressed as he hugged peter made the team smile.

"hey kiddo." he mumbled as his face was smushed into his curls, causing a smile to form on peter's face. tony's hand ran up and down peter's back, causing a grin to form on the team's face. alexa took her spot next to natasha, them smirking at each other at the fact that THE tony stark, has gone soft for sixteen year old peter parker.

nobody could blame tony though, peter is the sweetest and nicest kid they've ever met, especially for being a superhero and all.

"hi mister stark." the two released their hug, joining the others on the couch.

"how was school pete?" peter smiled, slipping his hoodie off to reveal his science pun tee shirt.

"good, nothing new; took a few tests, decathlon practice, the usual." a smile laid on alexa's face when she saw peter realize that there was a metal armed man on the other end of the couch.

"buck, this is the boy i was talking about. peter, this is bucky. bucky, this is peter." alexa introduced. peter tried speaking, but only air came out.

"mister barnes sir, it's great to meet you." bucky let out a laugh, sticking out his hand as peter got up to shake it.

"you can call me bucky peter. it's nice to meet you too." peter grasped bucky's hand, shaking it. peter's iron grip shocked bucky, his eyes widening.

"you got a hell of a grip kid." peter turned a light red, releasing bucky's hand from his own. he scratched the back of his neck, his head going down.

"i was bit, by a radioactive spider. it's um, kinda hard to explain, but it gave me powers, super strength being one of them." peter said, bucky slowly nodding his head.

"that has to be the craziest thing i've ever heard." bucky said, everyone chuckling.

"see you're the oldest one here at the moment cause thor is who knows where so i'd like to believe you've heard crazier things then that."

bucky found alexa in the gym, punching the punching bag relentlessly. bucky placed his water down, walking towards her. he held the punching bag, not being fazed by his sudden presence.

"i'm an assassin buck," she grunted, giving the bag one last punch. she looked at him, noticing that shirt that was a bit tight on him. not steve tight, but just enough to show the definition of his abdomen.

"i can sense you." bucky smirked, watching alexa fall dramatically to the ground on her back. he towered over her, a small smile on her face.

"oh, so you have that spider sense shit that parker has?" he asked, alexa covering her mouth to suppress a snort.

"i wish, it's kinda cool but sucks cause you can never sneak up on the kid. clint was in the air vents and he tried to scare him, but peter knew he was there before clint even said anything." bucky sighed, his smile dropping.

"damn, i was ready to scare him one day." alexa smiled, her getting up to meet him face to face. his eyes crinkled when he smiled and laugh genuinely, she noticed.

"wanna go a round?" bucky suggested, alexa smirking.

"give me all you got buck." bucky's lips curved up into a smile, the two getting into their stances. punches and kicks were thrown for a good five minutes, bucky ending up towering over alexa, his metal arm by her head as he held himself up.

"'give me all you got buck' she said. we only got five minutes in micheals." alexa shook her head, grunting as she kneed him in the stomach. he grunted, his arm purposely giving out as he fell on top of her.

alexa yelled at the sudden weight on her chest, trying to push bucky off. he wouldn't budge, alexa's hands slamming against his back.

"buck... i-i can't breathe." she barley got out, hitting him one last time before he rolled off of her. she let in a big breath of air, her face red. she looked over at him on the floor, a innocent smile on his face.

"i hate you." she mumbled, bucky frowning. alexa stood up, her looking down at him. she stuck her arm out, him accepting it as she pulled him back up.

"no you don't."

"you're right."

the two got back into their stances, going again at eachother. alexa ended up a good distance from bucky, sprinting towards him from behind.

she leapt onto him, twisting up his body as she ended up on his shoulders. his hands were on her lower back, alexa leaning forward from her momentum, bringing him to floor.

she unhooked her legs from around him, her straddling his waist. her hands rested on his chest, their eyes locking. she felt the definition through his shirt, yet she kept her eyes locked on his.

"i win." she said breathlessly, bucky letting his lips curved into a small smile.

"yea. you won."
