At the end of Homecoming, Peter accepted his position as an Avenger, under the circumstances that he could still live with May. Then, after she died, he moved back in with Tony at the tower. And all the Avengers talked about their issues like adults, and Peter calls them aunt and uncle, other than Wanda who he thinks of as more like a sister. And he calls Tony Dad and Pepper Mum.

After Endgame, Tony temporarily stopped breathing, but with a little help from Wakandan tech, he was almost as good as new, missing an arm. He now has one like Bucky's, which he is getting used to and making jokes about how he's slowly becoming more and more robot. When Steve went to return the stones, he managed to trade Nat back and they are now happily dating.

He is also dating MJ, which the others love to give him stick about, but they love her really and know she makes Peter happier.

Peters day was going great. Key word there being 'was'. He had aced his chemistry test, his English teacher wasn't in and Flash left him pretty much alone. Until he got to decathlon practice, Peters day was one of the best he'd had in a long time. But of course, all good things must come to an end.

All through practice, Peter was on fire. He got answer after answer right, surprising even himself. Every couple of seconds, however, the teen would glance at the clock, itching to go out spider-manning. As soon as the clock ticked to 4 o'clock, he shot out of his seat and was halfway out of the door when Mr. Harrington stopped him.
"Hang on! I've not told you the big announcement yet!" All through the term, Mr. Harrington had been bigging up a big announcement that he would be making. Internally, Peter groaned.
"So," he started, "We've been invited on a once in a lifetime trip to, drumroll please... Stark Industries! We have been granted special access to some of the labs never usually seen by tour groups, training with the Avengers themselves, and an extra cool Q&A with all of the Avengers including the Guardians of the Galaxy, the king of Wakanda, Black Panther and his sister, Shuri, Princess of Wakanda, Thor, Loki and Captain Marvel!" The class immediately burst into excited chatter, and even Ned, who had visited the tower countless times with Peter, looked ready to explode into a cloud of red and gold glitter. Peter, on the other hand, was dreading the trip, and knew his dad, aka Tony Stark, had organised the trip with the sole purpose of embarrassing Peter.

Flash stood up and swaggered over to Peter, flanked by two of his goons and wearing a smug smirk.
"Hey, Penis. Are you ready to be exposed in front of the entire team for being an attention seeked brat who lied about having an internship just because people got over the fact that all of your family killed themselves to get rid of you and your burdenous ways?" Flash spat, getting great satisfaction from the way Peters face fell at the mention of his family.

It was still tough for him to talk about his parents, his Aunt and his Uncle, even though May died almost four months ago.
"First off, Flash," he began, "its attention seeking brat and burdensome ways. If your going to insult me, at least do it right. And secondly, how many times do I have to tell you that I actually do have an internship. Why on earth would I want to lie?" This, technically, was not a lie. He did have an internship and work with the other interns when he wasn't in his or Tony's private labs, he just also lived at the tower. And worked with the professional, world class scientists. And had two published papers under a different name. So yeah, only partially a lie.

Flash just snarled at Peter before turning on his heel and stalking away, goons in tow. Discretely, Peter got out his phone to inform Happy that there was a slight change in plans, and he would be skipping Spider-Man and it would be great if he could come to pick him up, although if not that was fine too, as long as he wasn't a bother. Mr Harrington reminded everyone to pick up a permission slip on the way out, and it had to be in on Wednesday at the very latest, before requesting Peter for a chat.

"Peter, I know these past few years haven't been the greatest for you," Harrington began. Peter snorted. Understatement of the century. His parents had only died, his uncle was shot, his aunt had cancer, beat cancer, got it again, beat it again and then had a heart attack, he had died, he was beaten up by Thanos twice, and he had thought he had lost his father figure for the third time. So, not the greatest.
Mr Harrington began speaking again; "but that doesn't mean you should lie about knowing Tony Stark and having an internship. It would just be better to admit to lying now than at the tower in front of people who actually have internships and worked hard to get there." Peter immediately began to protest, saying that he wasn't lying, but he was cut off.
"I don't want to hear it. You're a good kid, you really are, but you need to come clean, got it?" Peter gave up arguing and just mumbled "Yes, sir," quietly and trudged our of the hall.

Happy was waiting for Peter in the car park, in an expensive black SUV which didn't at all look suspicious (note the sarcasm). He slid into the backseat and muttered a quick hello to Happy, who set off. As much as he hated to admit it, which was a lot, Peter had grown on Happy, so he couldn't help but be concerned at the silence that had replaced the usual non-stop chatter.
"What's up, kid?" He asked gently.
"Dad booked us in a field trip to the tower and everyone's saying I'm lying about my internship and he's booked us in a Q&A with all of the Avengers. Including the space ones and the Wakanda ones. Flash is not gonna stop bullying me, Uncle Happy, and it's just so infuriating." Peter finished by dramatically throwing himself across all three of the back seats. Happy chuckled to himself. That kid was the most laid back creature ever to roam the earth, except over stupid, petty things.
"I'm sure it'll be fine, kid." Happy said as he pulled up infront of the tower.

As Peter walked away, Happy could have sworn he heard Peter grumble about killing his father. He spent way too much time with Nat. Peter greeted the receptionist with his usual grin and hoped in the lift to Tony's private lab.
"Dad! I'm home!"
"Underoos, come here, is this formula right?" The billionaire asked. Peter corrected the formula and turned to face his father.
"So, today I'm told we're going on a field trip here and we get to train with you guys and we get a Q&A. Would you like to tell me why we're getting a special tour like that?" Peter ranted and Tony just laughed. Laughed!
"You can prove to everyone that you do have an internship and you know us. Genius plan, I know."
"No, not genius plan! Mr Harrington pulled me aside to tell me it'd be best for me to come clean now, and Flash isn't gonna stop! This is a disaster!"

Peter stormed out of the room and into the lift, asking FRIDAY to take him to wherever the others were. To no-ones suprise, he ended up on the training floor. He was greeted by a collection of "Hey, Pete"s, which was returned with a half grimce, half smile, which instantly alerted the others that something was wrong. They were never greeted by anything less than the smiley Peter they all knew so well.

"что не так, малыш паук?" Natasha asked gently. (What's wrong, baby spider?) She hadn't hesitated to teach the young boy Russian as soon as they trusted each other, and other than Steve, who could speak small bits, no-one else could understand them.

"Dad booked the decathlon team in for a field trip here to prove the I have an internship, but I think it was just to embarrass me more than anything! And he's gonna get you guys in on it as well. and all of the others. like, from Wakanda and Asguard and everything. Flash isn't gonna leave me alone until Friday."

"Aww, don't worry, Pete, we've all already all cleared our schedules so we can all be there to embarrass you in front of all of your friends! Even Carol, and you know how hard it is to get in contact with her! We've been planning this for you for months! Laura and the kids are coming as well." Clint finished with a huge beam on his face, more than just excited to embarrass Peter so much he wishes he could vanish off the face of the earth. It was all revenge, really, for replacing all of Clint's underwear with Hello Kitty stuff, filled with pink glitter, and then as he was on his way to the mall to buy more, Peter had pulled his hood over his eyes and pulled his pants down. Or, as Peter had labelled it, the Ultimate Hello Kitty Hood and Dud. Peter looked desperately around at all of his family, who just smirked at him. Peter groaned. He was so dead.
