Peter Stark: Life After Civil War

Part 4

A week later....

Peter's pov

After the incident last week, I was doing alright and so far none of them saw me again. My training session just ended, so I got in the elevator and placed my headphones in my ears.

I rode the elevator up to my floor and I walked in and placed my bag on the counter.

"Hey sweetie. How was training? I know you are working on gymnastics right now" Mom asked walking towards me

Usually I didn't see her during the day because she was always in meetings.

"It went good. I'm going to be working on strength next. So far I can lift 5 tons, and it still feels too easy. But then again, I did lift a building" I wrapped my arms around and laid my head against her chest

I loved my mom.

"Don't remind me. Well don't push yourself too hard. I just came to check up on your father. He is in the lab working on your suit. Please make sure he eats soon. I have a meeting, but I will be back in a bit" Mom gave one last hug before walking into the elevator

I put my headphones back in and blasted my music. I took a seat on the couch and started my summer homework.

It was a couple hours later when the elevator opened. I didn't really think much of it because it was probably dad. As I continued to do my homework, somebody interrupted me.

"So can I ask who you are?" I looked up and Captain America was looking at me

How did they get up here? The elevator should not have taken them up to our floor. The rest of the avengers were walking around and looking at the walls before they eventually walked over to me.

"Stark told us you were his intern, but we know he doesn't have interns. So who are you?" Falcon asked me

But I just rolled my eyes and continued to ignore him.

"Kid? What's your problem? All we want to know is your name" Hawkeye asked me, I could tell he was getting frustrated

"I don't answer to you, so leave me alone and go back to your floor" I told them

"You won't even tell us who you are?" Black Widow asked me again, why couldn't they just leave me alone?

"No. Now go away and go back to your floor. Friday shouldn't have even let you up here" I stood up and walked over to the kitchen to grab a drink from the fridge

I could hear them starting to argue, but I just continued to ignore them.

"Maybe we should just go, he clearly doesn't want to talk to us" I could tell that was Dr. Banner who said that

He was somebody I actually wanted to talk to.

"Kid we could do this the easy way and you tell us your name, or the hard way. We might not be so nice if you choose that option" I felt the hairs on my neck go up, and I immediately turned around to see the winter soldier standing right behind me

"Get the fuck away from me! Friday!" I yelled

"Sorry for the delay, my system was rebooting. Informing boss immediately"

"Watch your language kid! All we wanted to know was who you are. You should show some respect" Steve chastised

"Listen kid....." Black Widow grabbed my arm but I snatched it away

"Why do any of you deserve my respect! You don't have the right to know anything about me, so don't give me that "hard way" bullshit. The only people who I would even respect is Dr. Banner. The rest of you can fuck off. You hurt and betrayed him, and if it was up to me, none of you would be here. I used to look up to you guys but now I can barely stand being in the same room as you. You guys are nothing but cowards who would rather leave someone who was once their friend for dead, than turn yourselves in. Did you actually think he was going to kill you, because if you did, then you never knew Tony Stark. If you don't leave, I will have to use force, and trust me I'm much stronger than I look!" I yelled to the group before wiping the tears that were falling down my cheeks

"Peter" I heard my mom's voice call, i looked over by the stairs to see mom and dad waiting for me

I ran over and hugged her tightly. I didn't bother to look at anyone else as I laid my head in her chest.

"I told you all that you could come live here....but I told you not to come up here without permission. Not only that, I specifically told you not to bother Peter. He asked you to leave him alone. So how about you do something I ask for once, and leave" Dad told them using his angry voice

That voice always made me nervous.

"Bruce? Can you stay? The rest can leave" Mom asked

I looked up at her and she had a smile on her face, so did dad. The elevator finally closed and I instantly felt better. I took myself out of my moms arms and turned to see Dr.Banner.

"Peter meet Dr. Banner. He is my friend and someone you can trust. Bruce? Meet my son Peter. He is a huge fan"

It was finally happening! I reached my hand out slowly hoping this wasn't a dream.

"Well it's nice to meet you Peter, I'm glad you're a huge fan of the hulk" Dr.Banner said shaking my hand

"Well the hulk is cool and everything, but I'm more a fan of your actual work. I've read all your articles, papers, and your journals, especially the ones on gamma radiation and neurophysiology. I once tried to do one of your experiments but I almost blew up the lab. I think you're one of the most amazing scientists of all time" I was practically rambling and probably making a fool of myself

Inside I was screaming because I was finally meeting my hero.

"You most definitely are Tony's son if you understood my work. You can call me Bruce, or even uncle Bruce" He said happily

Dad told me that people forget he was a scientist first, and the Hulk second. Bruce Banner was my favorite scientist and now will probably be my favorite uncle, well except Ben.

"Well how do you feel kid?" Dad asked me placing his arm around my shoulder

"I'm alright now"

"Good. So how about you two go sit in the living room and talk. Get to know each other. I trust you with Peter, not the others quite yet. I will get started on dinner" Dad turned around walked towards the kitchen

We went to the living room and I told him all about my life. I told him all about mom and dad adopting me and what my school life was like. I really liked hanging out and talking with him. He didn't even mind when I asked him question after question about his work. One day I would like to be this happy talking with the others, but that won't be for a while.

"So Peter? Anything else I should know about you? You're my nephew now" He asked smiling, I loved that he just referred to me as his nephew

I looked towards dad in the kitchen and he nodded his head. Well I could easily trust uncle Bruce. So I might as well tell him the truth.

"Yeah....actually....I'm Spider-Man"

He looked at me and I could see his jaws drop. I saw him look over at my dad before turning back to me.

"You're Spider-Man? I saw a video about you on youtube. You were just on the news last night. That's amazing. I would love to study your powers one day, if you don't mind of course. I'm curious what they can really do" He said and I felt my face turn slightly warm, not many people gave me compliments

"Sure"

I knew I made the right decision telling him. One day the others would find out as well, but for now, my family is pretty awesome.
