Adopted by the Avengers

15: the Harry Potter theory.

Peter 4 days earlier

I'm on my phone sitting on the roof, in my Spider-Man suit. It's November, so there's snow, which was a little annoying to clear away with my hands, but I can manage.

I sigh and continue to text with Mr. Stark.

''''''''''''''''''''''''

Peter

I have the F-R-I-E-N-D-S song stuck in my head.

Mr. Stark

What song is that?

Peter

No one told you life was gonna be this wayyyyy

DUDUHDUHDUH

Your jobs a joke you're broke your love life's DOAAAAAAAA

Mr. Stark

Excuse me? I'll have you know I have a loving husband, thank you very much.

Peter

It's the song!

Well, intro to a TV show.

Mr. Stark

Oh. What's it about?

Peter

Well it's about 6 friends who end up not friends since 4/6 of them end up together, and it's funny and my favorite ep. is called 'the one where everyone finds out'.

Mr. Stark

Should I watch it?

Peter

Yeah sure. If you liked that show then I have other ones to recommend. And just FYI it isn't SUPER interesting until like the 3rd or 5th season.

Mr. Stark

Alright. So why are you up so late?

Peter

Gotta blame it on my juice

Mr. Stark

Better come get your man I think he got lost in my DM's

Peter

I absolutely love you

And for the real answer: I Can't Sleep.

Guess it hasn't been my day, my week or month, or even my year

Mr. Stark

You should get some sleep, it's pretty late.

Peter

ok

I'm kinda tired anyways

Mr. Stark

Goodnight Pete

Peter

tsk tsk, so formal!

But if you insist...

Goodnight Mr. Stark

Fareweel!

*farewell

I'm not tired at all. Much like other nights; and even if I were capable of sleep, sometimes I'd still refuse; nightmares are a torturous thing, and after a while, I forget what's real, and what was a dream.
