Underoos

Peter sat on an uncomfortable chair next to his rather bland desk and a laptop placed in front of him with a couple of words inked on the document. Music played softly through his headphones, a steady beat echoed throughout his head as he searched his brain for what to write next. It was one of those irritating essays about life, choices, and all that other crap that professors love to change into metaphors and complex essays. That's exactly what the task was. 'How can choice and a sense of risk affect your life?' it read as a title. Peter had nothing but this mess...

'Sometimes there isn't a good answer for a choice. No matter how you try to rationalize the outcome, it doesn't make sense. And instead of an answer, you are simply left with a question. Why?'

As the teen read it for the last time of a thousand he groaned at how utterly ridiculous it sounded. He bought his hand up to head and started hitting it as if that action could give him some ideas, paragraphs, words to write next. Nothing. 

"Good morning Маленький паук"

This sudden stern voice alerted Peter from his thoughts and the boy jumped up from his chair in shock. He was confused about why someone was speaking in a different language. Russian? He gulped as he saw the Black Widow standing in his room, Peter did not remember any talk about them hanging out. 

"I thought your spider senses are meant to alert you when someones coming near you?", the assassin asked with thick sarcasm coating her voice while Peter just stood there confused and slightly pleased- he was already bored with the essay task that he had been assigned and glad to have a surprise break.

"Ummm... I was concentrating on something else and not that this is not a good surprise at all but do you need me or anything?" Peter asked. He would casually hang out with the Avengers around the tower but he never hanged out with them separately and none of them had come into his room at all. "Wait did I do something wrong?"

Seeing the teen's worried face she decided to tell him why she suddenly appeared, "do you want to train with us now?"

"Wait, us meaning the Avengers!" Peter squealed out while Nat stood there trying not to chuckle at the boy's response to her news. "Sorry, it's just that I've never had an Avenger in, well, my bedroom and I want to train with you guys", added Peter after seeing Nat chuckle at his enthusiastic response.

"You know I wouldn't be so sure that I'm the first to come into your room, Clint has a thing for sneaking through the vents into peoples' rooms"

"Oh", the teen replied rather simply, "wait did Mr. Stark say that this was okay?" the teen added not wanting to invade the man, who had been so kind to him, privacy and he didn't want to go against whatever Mr. Stark wanted.

The assassin did not answer just headed out of the room while Peter trailed behind her like a puppy, a very excited and rather enthusiastic puppy.

She led them into a white room that had mirrors placed along the walls in almost every side, all the Avengers were inside each wearing sporty clothing and talking to the people around them. As soon as Peter entered all their heads turned towards the teen and Peter relaxed as he saw all of their familiar faces. Over the past few weeks Peter had gotten closer to these people then he expected. He and Bucky would have fun looking at memes together (Peter explaining each one until the man understood it, obviously), Clint and Peter would have fun pranking Nat whenever they could and he would even talk to Bruce about science. He felt like he was starting to fit into this strange yet loving family. Of course, Peter and Mr. Stark were closer than the rest and they would have fun together in the lab and their living space as well.

" Ah, nice of you to join us Romanov and Pete", Tony shouted from across the opposite side of the room with a grin sketched on his face and his eyes pointed towards Peter.

"So, what's the plan for today's session?" asked Clint directing the question at the captain.

"Okay, we will split into two teams and then to out to the field to play a game of capture the flag. For teams, we will have Wanda, Clint, Peter, Bucky, and me then the other team will be Pietro, Tony, Nat, and Sam. Remember, no superpowers and no suits... hand on hand combat", instructed Steve. The rest nodded along to what he was saying and Peter grinned as he heard what they were going to do for the training. 

Peter and the Avengers entered a large field that had various trees, shrubs, and wooden obstacles randomly dotted around on the green land. It looked rustic and rather natural for something that Mr. Stark owned but Peter guessed that it was something essential they used for training and therefore it had to look realistic. They all sorted out themselves so they were stood in their teams, Peter had Bucky by his side and Wanda and Clint stood behind discussing something. Each team was handed a flag and Steve joined Bucky, Wanda, Clint, and Peter. They stood in a circle discussing their strategy on how to find the other team's flag and steal it before the same thing happened to their team.

"Right, we can have Clint guarding the flag in a tree on the far edge, and Peter and Wanda can be a second line of defense. I'll stay up at the front", instructed the Captain taking charge.

"Peter I want you and Wanda to stay hidden in separate places and come out as a surprise", added Clint as Peter and Wanda both listened carefully.

Everyone went into their places smoothly and Peter awaited in his position when he heard Steve shouted out that their game of capture the flag had become. Peter hid near a large bush with leaves covering his face and foot but there was a perfect gap where his eyes peeked through so he could see any unwanted guests that come too close to their flag. The spot was perfect for camouflage. At least that's what he thought when he picked the spot. He couldn't imagine that anyone would ever be able to see her in these surroundings, but again this was the Avengers he was talking about. So there he sat, ready to fish out anyone who came to close. Unfortunately, he had not anticipated that others may be looking upon him from other angles, and someone was stealthily descending toward his hiding spot.

Peter suddenly spotted Tony creeping towards him and he jumped out with his hands put in front of him protecting his chest, Mr. Stark mirrored him. However, Peter was the fastest out of them both and he had a definite advantage as Mr. Stark did not have his powerful suit. He ran forward and threw one punch towards Tony's chest but he blocked it quickly and used his other hand to grab hold of Peter's wrist. Of course, out of the two Peter would normally win very easily however he did not have permission to use his powers. Their fight lasted for around a minute but in the end, Peter managed to grab hold of Tony's leg and flip him. The teen tried to flip the man so he did not have as hard of a landing on the ground as most of Peter's enemies had. He winced when he heard the fairly loud thump as the middle-aged man's body went colliding with the ground but the kid carried on running towards his next intruder.

 Natasha ran forward with a menacing glare and Peter stared at her directly in the eye not wanting to miss anything she did. She took the first punch. It was blocked by Peter's arm. He returned the punch. Blocked. She kept coming for him. One punch, two, another. All blocked by Peter. 

"You play soft Маленький паук", she sinisterly remarked which made Peter suddenly stop and look confused- he still had no idea at what she was saying.

This sudden break from Peter meant his chest was unprotected and Nat aimed her leg at his chest and swung is round so it sent him back. Peter got up... not ready to give up. He lifted his leg and tried to trip her as she ran but she managed to move too quickly. She quickly turned and gave a punch to his face. Proudly, the teen blocked it and pushed her back. She swung out her arm and wrapped it around his leg before Peter could see. She flipped the boy over rapidly. He laid sprawled on the ground with a disgruntled face while Nat just glanced smugly before she carried on running off.

"Nice try Маленький паук", she shouted from a distance, knowing that this nickname confused the boy.

------------------------------------

As the game came to a close with Pietro's and Sam's shouts of their wins, the teams headed back to the center. Their they congratulated the team and Peter smiled, sure his team had not won but he had beaten Mr. Stark and the dramatic game had been extremely fun and a burst of excitement for his rather bland day. The Avengers and Peter headed back inside each with smiles plastered on their face and especially smug ones from Nat, Bucky, Tony, and Sam.
