Tony POV

—————

"Hey kid?"

"Yeah?"

"How would you feel, if May and I shared custody over you?"

"...wait what?"

"Kid I'm not saying it again."

"YES".

"Okay then".

Tony didn't stop smiling that day.

No POV

Tony looked up from the new web shooters him and Peter were designing. He looked around the room breathing in a deep sigh as he took in his surroundings. The light blue shading across the room from the many high tech screens and holograms showing measurements and fabrics, the smell of the gears and paint, and the slight whoosh of the high quality air conditioning coming into the lab.

His favorite addition to the room though, was the many photos of him and spider-man. Well, in this case, it was Peter Parker. The memories captured inside the frames were his favorite. Most of them were Peter getting awards from school but a few were when Tony would surprise him with new suits.

May had asked Tony if he wanted to share custody after she had to start working more. She knew that Peter and Tony were close, so she had asked.

To say the least, Peter's excitement over the next week was comparable to that of a puppy. And that's why Tony loved the kid.

Peter had become more of a son to him. At first, he was some annoying, reckless superhero that wasn't the best at his job. But as time passed, the kid grew on to him. So when May asked, well, Tony couldn't have been happier.

Peter stayed on most weekends, but came every other week or so to work on his suit. Whenever Peter was in the lab, that's when Tony and Pepper has the most fun. The quirky jokes and the funny quips were enough to make them smile for days.

Tony had never told the ex-Avengers of his, well, adopted son. He never planned to, there wasn't really a point. So when he got a notification of the rouges coming up the elevator while Peter was doing homework in the kitchen, he panicked.

"Peter! Uhh... go to your room! I have a surprise!!"

"Uhh...but I'm not done with my homework???"

"IT CAN WAIT!"

Tony shoved Peter out of the room and almost snickered at the confused face Peter had given him.

Tony then "casually" leaned against the wall as the elevator doors opened.

"Heyyyyyyyy...."

Steve looked at him with an odd look. "What are you doing Stark?"

"...nothing".

Natasha walked up to Stark and looked right into his eyes. "He's hiding something".

Tony's eyes widened. "NO I'M NOT".

The rouges only looked confused.

"No, I think Nat is right. It kinda smells like...kids, and the fact that there is a go go squeeze on the table" Clint said as he sniffed the air.

Steve looked at Clint. "Does that even have a smell? Never mind that. Tony? What's going on".

"Guys I promise nothin-"

"Hey Tony? Can I come in....now???"

The avengers all looked up to see a teenage boy with soft brown curls and doe eyes looking at them with a quite surprising look. He rubbed the back of his neck and looked at Tony.

"Uhhhh...hi?"

When no one answered, he promptly turned around and walked back to his room.

Steve was the first to talk: "I'm not even going to say anything".

Natasha looked at Tony and looked back at the hallway in which Peter had disappeared. "He's mine. You are not getting him back".

And that's how Peter, was introduced to his new family.
