Chapter 21
Peter followed Tony out the briefing room and into the elevator. As the doors closed he shuffled to the side and the, once forgotten, plug in his ass shifted. Dear God why had Wade chosen tonight of all nights to go all possessive boyfriend?
'For the love of all that's holy don't let this thing start slipping.'
Beside him, Tony cleared his throat, pulling Peter out of his internal crisis.
"I'm sorry about Harley. He's......he's"
"Following us." Peter cut him off. "We left him but I’m sure he’ll be joining us down at the lab directly.”
Tony sighed and ran his hand down his face.
"He's a good kid," Tony smiled. "You'll work good together."
"I don't think he wants to work with Spider-Man." Peter replied.
"He does. He's just getting used to the idea of you being on the team. You didn't exactly leave him on a good note your last visit."
"His opinions arn't my concern or problem. All I care about is the fact that Norman knows it's me and that puts May, Harry and MJ in trouble."
"What about all your other.....friends?"
"They're enhanced. They can handle themselves fine." Peter stated firmly.
"Then why not ask them for help? Why come to me?" Tony asked, turning to look at Peter straight on.
"Because Jessica and Cat are following a lead, Danny has a company to run, and Luke has his bar. Just because Norman is out there, it doesn't just mean they can throw all thier responsibilities aside. I can depend on them if I need them though. That's what matters."
“Well, you can depend on us now. We’ll take care of you, May, Harry and MJ now. No need to have those others involved anymore. You’re an Avenger now!” Tony beamed.
Peter narrowed his eyes.
“I’m not leaving them Tony. They’re my friends and, for all tense and purposes, family.”
Tony’s smile faltered a bit before he brushed off Peter’s comment.
“Of course!” He said, stepping out the now stopped elevator. “It’s just that you’ll be a lot busier now. You’ll be joining us on out of town missions and all.”
“I have a job. Spider-Man isn’t leaving New York.”
Tony sighed and rolled his eyes.
“Please. I’m sure Oscorp could manage without you every now and then.”
“I have a team.”
Tony stopped and groaned.
“Look Underoos. You agree to the deal. I’m saving Oscorp as well as helping you out with May and your two friends. You’re gonna have to hold up your end and that’s that the Avengers get Spider-Man!”
Peter glared and took a deep breath.
“I agreed to this because you backed me in to a corner!”
“I’m doing you a favor!” Tony snapped. "Are you forgetting the fact that the general public doesn't know it was Norman behind the mask? Did you forget that as far as they know, Norman is hiding in retirement? If it comes out that he's the Green Goblin and on the loose, how do you think that's going to go? You think the break-in hurt Oscorp, just think about what that would do?!"
Peter glared. He felt like he was always one step behind when it came to Tony. He hadn't thought about Oscorp. His concern had been what Norman could do to Harry. As far as Oscorp went, he hadn't went past the break-in.
"I helped keep Oscorp in good with partners, but I can't compete with the Green Goblin being Oscorp's creation."
Peter turned away from Tony, choosing not to respond. What was there to say really? He knew Tony was right, whether he wanted to admit it or not. He wanted to pull his hair and scream in frustration. Why? Why was this happening? He was finally getting things together! He finally had a really good job! Aunt May would be taken care of (without anything from Tony, as Peter would make sure that never happened again). He no longer had to worry about his secret identity since all the important people in his life knew he was Spider-Man. How did things get the way?
"Come on Pete."
There was that name again. Peter took a deep breath, there really was no use telling Tony not to use it. The man was going to do it anyway.
"Let's get to the lab."
The two entered with a whoosh of the doors. The closed behind them as the two walked further in. Peter looked around. Nothing seemed to have changed from the times he had visited, until he saw his old work station. It was clear Harley had taken over the spot since nothing was as Peter had left it. Tony seemed to follow his eyeline and gave a nervous chuckle.
"I didn't have any place cleared for Harley to work. I'll be getting him a new spot shortly though. You can work on your web shooters and formula there again." Tony said quickly.
Peter didn't respond, his eyes moving from the work area. His features softened as he caught sight of Dum-E.
"Yeah, he's still hanging around." Tony grinned, eager to find any positive conversation with Peter.
"I always liked him." Peter smiled, not looking at Tony.
Whether it was or not, Tony took the smile as a good sign.
"Come over here Pete." Tony said, directing Peter over to his desk.
On top of the desk was a glass container. Peter watched as the contents inside swirled around a spider symbol, blue and red and gold colors catching in the light.
"Nanites." Tony supplied.
Peter looked from the container at Tony.
"What?"
"The suit. I made it out of nanites. No more suits under clothes. Just tap the spider and the nanites will form the suit around you. I modeled it after my newest suit." Tony pointed at the reactor on his chest. "Just a tap and I'm in the suit."
Peter blinked in surprise and turned back to nanite spider suit. Tony had definitely put in some thought and work into this new suit. Peter, as much as he wanted to, couldn't deny the feelings bubbling up in him. Tony had made a suit, specifically with him in mind. There was no telling how long he had worked on it. The familiar sense of awe at Tony's genius reared it's head.
"I told you in the briefing room kid, but I'm not gonna force you to wear the suit."
Peter looked at him blankly, not wanting to give anything away.
"You're not gonna make a safer suit though. This suit is my ultimate creation so far. I call it the Iron Spider. It's specifically tailored to oporate for you only. No one else could get the spider and activate the suit. It's also made to adapt to any new web shooters you want to add. Karen is apart of the suit as well. There's also a....um....instant kill feature."
Peter eyes widened and his jaw dropped, ignoring the name of the suit in turn for the new feature.
"Instant kill?! Tony, Spider-Man doesn't kill anyone." Peter snapped, pushing back the memory of Norman praising him for not killing Toomes.
"And I hope you never have to. It's just a precaution Peter. I've seen a lot of alien attacks and it's a safety net against them. It's not automatic and it won't just activate on it's own. You will have to physically tell Karen to activate it."
Peter frowned, not comfortable with the new addition Tony had added.
"Tony I-"
"Just take it. Take the suit. Think on it. Regardless of what's between you and me, you can't deny the benifites this suit could offer you. It can offer you way more protection then what you have now."
Peter hesitated long enough for Tony to scoop up the container and hold it out to him.
"Just take the suit."
Peter looked from Tony's hopeful face to the suit. The tech junkie side of him screeched that he should take the suit while the other side of him didn't trust it. Peter fought with himself before finally sighing and taking the container from Tony. Tony beamed as he ran to the other side of the lab and came back with a black bookbag.
"Just in case you decided to take it. I wanted you to have a way to carry it back with you."
Peter nodded numbly and slid the glass case into the bag.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harley watched from his vantage point outside the lab. He was crotched down, peering between the equipment in front of the glass window. He could clearly see Tony and Spider-Man talking. For the first time, he cursed the sound proof glass Tony had installed. The two had thier backs to him until Tony moved, and Spider-Man shifted. Between them, Tony held up a glass container, inside it was a spider symbol surrounded by a swirling mob of colors.
Harley glared. He had seen that very thing often enough when Tony worked on his new suit.
Nanites.
Surely Tony hadn't been working on a nanite suit for Spider-Man!
No one but Iron Man had any nanite technology incorporated into their suits or weapons, yet Spider-Man was being give a whole suit?!
His glared hardened on Spider-Man as he took the container out of Tony's hands and Tony ran off, coming back with a bookbag that Spider-Man put the suit in.
That ungrateful jerk just got handed on the most advanced suits out there and he probably didn't even care!
Somewhere in the back of his mind, Harley knew he should have more anger directed at Tony than Spider-Man but he couldn't' bring himself to acknowledge it. Tony had already done a lot for him, and even he could admit the suit Spider-Man was currently wearing was useless beyond covering his body. Maybe this was a test run for another suit? Spider-Man needed something better immediately, so Tony provided. The billionaire had created the spider suit without anyone knowing, so maybe he had made more? Maybe he was working on one for Harley as well. Still, Harley wished he had gotten one before Spider-Man.
Harley watched as Tony smiled fondly at Spider-Man as he put the suit in the bag. Harley couldn't say offhand that he had seen Tony give anyone else that look. Sure, he had his look for Steve, he had his look for the other Avengers, he had a look for Pepper and he even had a look reserved only for Harley. This look however, this look he held for Spider-Man was different than the others. This look loomed in the area of a father's expression towards a son, and Harley hated it.
He knew Tony and Spider-Man had a history. He knew Spider-Man was relatively young, no one other than Tony, Pepper and maybe Rhodey knew just how young he had been when Tony recruited him. Still, he knew Spider-Man had been young, but what did Spider-Man do to deserve that look? The two hadn't even worked together long, whereas Harley had known Tony for years now.
Taking a breath, Harley turned his attention back to Tony and Spider-Man. Tony seemed happy and content while Spider-Man had a tenseness to his jaw and shoulders. The two talked a more, Tony patting Spider-Man on the shoulder. After a few more minutes, Spider-Man threw the backpack over his shoulder and he and Tony made thier way towards the lab doors. Harley ducked around the corner, peering around enough to see the two exit.
"I'm glad to have you back." Tony smiled. "You're gonna love being on the team. We're a family here. Maybe a bit dysfunctional, but a family none the less."
"Perhaps you should explain to your 'dysfunctional family member protege' that spying only works if you're not caught." Spider-Man deadpanned.
Harley glared, stepping out into the hallway fully. Tony sighed, clearly wishing Harley hadn't followed them this far.
"Trust is something that's earned and I don't trust you, so naturally I followed you to watch out for Tony!"
"Kid," Tony smiled softly. "I appreciate the sentiment, but I wasn't in any danger with Spider-Man."
Harley wanted to argue. He wanted to yell that they should just kick Spider-Man to the curb and leave him for Norman to find. Let the amazing Spider-Man take of things on his own. However, he kept his mouth shut, glaring at the spider themed vigilante.
"It's fine Harles." Tony assured. "There's nothing to worry about here. Why don't you head on up to the common room while we finish up here."
Sending one last glare towards Spider-Man, Harley stomped over to the elevator and left.
"I'm not working with him Tony." Peter frowned. "He sets off my Spider Sense."
Tony looked at Peter, his eyebrows raised.
"Harley?" He asked incredulously. "Maybe you should get yourself checked out Pete. Harley's no threat."
"Maybe not to you, but he's one to me."
"It'll be fine once you tell him who you are." Tony shrugged.
"What?!" Peter yelled, his anger rising. "What do you mean, 'once I tell him who I am'?! I'm not telling any of the Avengers who I am!"
"Oh come on Pete." Tony rolled his eyes and crossed his arms. "Surely you don't think you'll be able to keep your identity secret forever. You're on the team now. They deserve to know who they're working with. I'm not saying you have to do it today or even tomorrow, but eventually you'll have to."
Peter couldn't even respond. Yes. Yes he had thought he could keep his identity secret because the Avengers were only getting Spider-Man! Peter Parker was to stay nothing more than a loyal friend and worker to Harry Osborn!
"That wasn't part of the deal." Peter seethed.
"Sure it was." Tony waved his hand. "You agreed to join as Spider-Man and Peter Parker stayed with Oscorp. Well, Peter Parker is staying with Oscorp regardless of telling them who you are under the mask."
Loopholes. Tony always found loopholes. Matt knew he would find loopholes.
"Besides," Tony fumed. "Seems like Barnes already knows your secret."
Peter pulled his mask completely off, staring Tony in the eyes.
"What's between me and Mr. Barnes is none of your business."
"Don't tell me you're sleeping with him too!" Tony yelled.
"Are you fucking serious?!" Peter yelled back.
"Well I don't know what to think since your sleeping with that lunatic in the briefing room!"
"You don't think anything!" Peter growled. "It's none of your business!"
"It is when he on SHIELD's watch list! For God's sake Peter, he was the original reason we were supposed to bring you in!"
"You don't like Wade, I get it. He hasn't had the.....best track record, but he's trying. He's put a lot of effort in to his change and you could at least acknowledge that."
"Ditch him." Tony huphed.
"I'm sorry, what?" Peter asked, positive he hadn't heard what he heard.
"I said," Tony stressed. "Ditch him."
"Have you lost your mind?!"
"No. If anything I'm saving yours! You're an Avenger now Spider-Man, it's time to start acting like one. You can't have someone like Deadpool hanging around you. As a major public figure now, you have an image to maintain. Deadpool is a blemish. Get rid of him."
Peter's mouth opened and closed, but no words emerged. Just how much was Tony expecting Peter to give up? He already gave up his freedom as Spider-Man, now Tony wanted his identity and his relationship?!
"No one else on the team seems to have a problem with him!"
"Because no one on the team is dating him! No one on the team has to be seen with him!"
Peter felt his chest tighten. What had he gotten himself in to? He should have just told Harry what was going on. Harry knew he was Spider-Man, what was one more big secret told between friends? Now he had given himself over to keep Harry and Oscorp safe. Harry would probably strangle him if he knew. Peter hadn't felt this scared since he was 15 and going to Germany with Tony to fight Captain America and the other rouges.
"This isn't fair, Tony." Peter whispered.
"Once you get settled with the team you'll see how right a choice it was. I promise you'll be amazed at how much better your life is about to get."
Peter didn't feel like his life was getting better at all.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The team left Deadpool and Daredevil in the briefing room, confident in the fact that FRIDAY was watching them closely. As soon as they entered the common room, everyone erupted into shouts and questions and all were aimed at one James Buchanan Barnes.
"Just what the hell was that?" Sam rounded on Bucky.
"Yeah man," Clint joined. "What's your deal with the webbed wonder?"
"You seem kind of protective of him." Wanda said, tilting her head slightly.
"You might as well spill. Tony's gonna blow a gasket on you anyway once Team Red's gone." Rhodey sighed.
Bucky stood, listening to all the questions fly. There was no point in trying to explain anything until they stopped.
Steve stood further back, not participating in the interrogation. He stiffened a bit as Natasha slid up next to him.
"You've been with him to meet Spider-Man, haven't you." she said as a fact and not a question.
"Yeah. I followed him out of curiosity. Found him and Spider-Man already talking on a rooftop. I don't know what's going on between them, but Bucky's gonna side with him on anything at this point."
Natasha nodded.
"Think he's knows anything?"
"No. At least, that's what he told me. Honestly though, I believe him and not just because he's my best friend."
"I agree. Besides, this isn't just one sided. Spider-Man clearly has a shared trust for Barnes." Natasha said, watching Bucky closely.
"Rhodey's right though." Steve groaned, pinching the bridge of his nose. "Tony's all fine right now, but as soon as Spider-Man leaves he's going to be all over Buck."
"Perhaps his loving boyfriend should step in on behalf of his best friend." Natasha smirked.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Can you believe that little snot nosed brat?!" Wade fumed, stomping around the room. "How dare he imply anything about my Baby Boy! Who does he think he is? Ok, he lives up here in fancy pants town, but he can't satisfy Petey-Pie like I can!"
"This would be a good time for you to shut up." Matt growled. "I have no interest in what you're doing with my son behind closed doors."
Wade froze mid step.
"Did you just admit to me that Petey's your son?"
Matt let out a deep breath.
"Peter, whether I realized it or not, became my son the day I met him."
Wade grinned, slapping Matt on the back.
"Devil Dad indeed! So does that mean your'e gonna help me keep Iron Dick Jr. away from Petey?"
Matt raised an eyebrow up at the mercenary.
"I think Peter is more than capable of keeping that kid in line."
"No he's not! He's to sweet to be mean to him!"
Matt sighed, trying to tune out Wade's rant about Harley trying to steal Peter from him and how it wasn't Harley's cum currently plugged up in Peter's ass.
Matt wanted to die.
He was released from his suffering when the door opened, and Bucky Barnes reentered the room. Wade's rant quickly ended and he and Matt stared at the man.
"I'm assuming you realize I know who Spider-Man is under the mask now." Bucky said, sitting down across from Matt.
"If I'm being honest." Matt sighed. "He wasn't doing a good job of keeping it a secret just now."
"Oh, don't worry about it. I was just interrogated up until the point it dissolved into a full blown conspiracy that Spider-Man and Peter Parker are banging."
Wade burst into laughter, folding over and holding his stomach.
Matt dropped his face into his hand.
"Well," the vigilante started. "At least his identity is safe."
"Oh it's safe alright!" Wade continued laughing.
Choosing to ignore Deadpool, Bucky turned his attention fully to Matt.
"So, is there a reason Peter turned himself in? Kid seemed pretty adamant about avoiding Tony."
Matt studied the man before him. He had never explicitly talked with Peter about being able to tell his story. He had always felt like it was Peter's story to tell. Still, Bucky knew he was Spider-Man and perhaps it would work in Peter's favor to have someone on the team know his story. It didn't hurt that Peter seemed to trust him, given his reaction to the man watching over him and May.
"The story is really Peter's to tell, but I'll make an exception this time. The sooner Peter has someone here who understands him the better."
Wade, finally quelling his laughter, joined the two men back at the table. He waited patiently as Matt began the story of how Peter eventually became his son.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Harley was furious as he rode the elevator up to the penthouse. FRIDAY had alerted him to the others being in the common room, but he had no desire to join them.
Spider-Man.
He had never wished for someone to disappear before, but he wished the webbed vigilante would just disappear from New York. He knew when he had come here that Tony and the Avengers were looking to bring Spider-Man in for questioning and he knew Tony had history with him. He knew this, but really didn't think anything about it. He had been content in the thought it was just Tony doing his job and that would be as far as it went.
Spider-Man was ruining everything.
He had told him to stay away from Tony and here he was joining the Avengers!
Harley leaned against the back wall of the elevator and took a deep breath. He needed to take him mind off of Spider-Man. HIs mind drifted to Peter. Pretty Peter Parker. God, Harley barely knew the guy and how he was acting was embarrassing! Harley pictured Peter's face while they had had lunch and wished for that simple time back. Unfortunately, now Peter was in danger and it was Spider-Man's fault!
Harley growled at the implications that had been made that Peter was romantically or, at least, sexually involved with both Deadpool and Spider-Man. No way would Peter have anything to do with Deadpool. Harley had heard enough about the mercenary to know he wasn't someone to get involved with on any level. No, despite the jokes, Harley didn't even believe the web head himself wanted anything to do with the insane mercenary.
But Spider-Man a different story.
If Peter had taken pictures of Spider-Man, then the two of them had definitely hung around together in and out of the suit. At least it sounded that way when Spider-Man admitted Peter knew him outside the mask. Of course Peter knew who Spider-Man was. The stupid vigilante seemed to be wrapped up in everything Harley cared about. Sure, Spider-Man had denied any sort of physical involvement with Peter when Deadpool had jokingly (he better had been joking) implied having a relationship, but that didn't mean anything really.
No matter, Harley decided. Peter was in danger due to his association with Spider-Man and Harley didn't trust the vigilante to properly protect him. He would personally make sure Peter stayed safe while he was at Oscorp and stay with him till he got home to his aunt. He wasn't exactly close with Barnes, but he did trust the man to watch over the Parkers.
He would show Peter what a hero really is.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Bucky wasn't one to lose his cool easily. He was observant and calculating of situations, always remaining clam before acting.
He threw a chair across the room.
"Are you kidding me?!" Bucky seethed. "Stark brought a 15 year old kid to Germany to fight us? What was he thinking?! You said the kid had only had his powers six months right? He had no business there! It wasn't even his fight!"
Bucky took deep breaths to steady himself as Matt waited patiently and Wade spun in his chair.
"Ok. Ok." Bucky breathed, pinching the bridge of his nose and sitting back down. "So Stark pretty much kidnaps this kid then what, leaves him to fend for himself? You can't do that. You can't take a kid, or anyone, into a situation like that and expect them to just go back to things like normal. For the record, I am blatantly choosing to ignore the abuse of power there."
"Don't dwell on Germany." Matt said, setting his elbows on the table. "Peter's not mad about Germany, he's mad about everything that came after."
"As he should be!" Wade pipped up, stopping his spin. "My Baby Boy could have died under that building!"
Bucky groaned and placed his face in his hands.
"The kid never should have gotten involved with us."
Matt didn't argue. It wasn't the first time he wished he had approached Peter when he first heard about him instead of letting Tony Stark get to him first.
"Look, what's done is done. Peter is here and he's ok. I only told you this so you'll understand why he feels the way he does about Stark and joining the Avengers."
"Then why is he?" Bucky asked, looking up. "You've told me his history with Stark, but not why he's here now."
"Because Iron Dick didn't give him a choice!" Wade shouted.
Bucky raised an eyebrow, looking to Matt to explain.
"Oscorp. It's in trouble due to Norman's escape and break-in to steal equipment. Right now it's only known that the security was breeched and things stolen and it's caused some strain. Nothing about Norman's escape has leaked yet. Still, even with just the break-in, partners in the company worried about thier own investments and thier own privacy and protection. Stark agreed not to pull out, which would settle worry amongst the other companies, in exchange for Peter to join the Avengers."
Another chair flew across the room.
"I can't believe this! How can you sit there so calm?" Bucky said, giving Matt a look.
"Because I trust Peter. Nothing that happened before Peter came to me can be changed. It's a part of who he is today and I accept it because he does. As for this now, it's his battle. This isn't something I can help him with. All I can do is be here for him, but he has to make the calls."
Bucky started at the devil themed vigilante. Despite not being able to see his whole face, the blatant love for Peter was there.
The three men looked up when the briefing room door opened and Spider-Man, a new bookbag slung over his shoulder, and Tony entered the room. The billionaire eyed Barnes before turning fully to Peter.
"I'll get Barnes a place set up. You can tell Peter to meet-"
"I know Stark." Bucky said flatly. "I know who's under his mask."
Tony glared as he looked over at the former assassin.
"Of course you do."
"Well, it's been a blast spending time here, but I've got a nice big bed that's really lonely right now. I think it's gonna require two bodies to comfort it." Wade wiggled his eyebrows and winked at Peter.
Peter's blush traveled down below the folded up part of his mask.
Tony's glare turned toward the merc.
"Take a good look around, cause you'll never see the inside of this tower again. You come back here and you'll find yourself sitting in a night cell back at SHIELD."
"Now, now, you know that never works on me!" Wade grinned, antagonizing the man. "But it's all good. I mean, Spidey would be the only reason I'd come here but I don't have to look past my other pillow to find him."
Tony's fists clenched and his jaw set. His posture radiated fury and urge to attack.
"I think we should go." Matt said, standing from his seat. "You have work in the morning, Pete. Barnes, Peter will let me know if or when you can move in and I'll help with the introductions with May."
Bucky blinked in surprise, not expecting Daredevil to offer his service at the risk of his identity getting out further.
"You heard Devil Dad, let's get outta here Baby Boy!" Wade cheered happily as he moved to the reopened window.
Peter nodded, turning to Bucky with an outstretched hand.
"Thanks again." he said with a genuine smile. "I'd much rather have you watching over May."
"No problem kid." Bucky grinned, taking Peter's hand.
"Welcome to the Spidey Squad!"
Bucky just watched, amused as Peter joined Deadpool by the window.
"Shoot me a line back, Pete." Matt said, looking over at him.
Peter stared at him, confused for a moment before shrugging his shoulders as Wade attatched himself to Peter's back.
"As cute as this little backpack makes you look, it's really in my way Webs." Wade pouted.
"You'll be fine. Hang on tight." Peter chuckled before falling out the window, Wade's screams the only sound.
A few moments late, the smack of a web line hitting above the window sounded. Matt turned to where Tony was staring him down. The two eyed each other before Matt stepped up to Tony.
"I don't like you." Matt opened with. "I don't like you and you obviously don't like me. So here it is. That kid. That's my kid. Outside of May Parker he's my responsibility. You'll have to pull one hell of a trick out of your ass to win him over, and it's obvious you don't have one. I don't know what you think is going to happen now, or even after Norman is locked away, but Peter's personal life will never be on the table for you. You got Spider-Man. Leave Peter alone." Matt turned and walked confidently to the window, pulling out his baton and holding it over the web line. He paused in his move to jump and looked back at Tony's angry red face. "That's my son Stark, and I'll protect him violently if I need to, even if it's protecting him from you."
with that, Daredevil leapt out the window, sliding down the web line to the roof top over and disappearing into the dark.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(Start the sex!)~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter followed Wade into the apartment with a solemn expression. Tony's words ran through his head over and over. He didn't want to leave Wade. They had only just started exploring thier relationship and now it was being threatened!
"Everything ok Baby Boy?" Wade asked, pulling Peter close to him.
Peter pulled off his mask then Wade's. Honey brown eyes met piercing blue. God Wade was handsome, and Peter wanted him. Lifting up slightly on his toes, Peter pressed his lips to Wade's in desperation. He threw his arms around the man and held tight.
Pulling away for air, Wade frowned.
"What happened Petey?"
Peter stared, not wanting to ruin things by talking about Tony.
"Can we talk about it later? I kind of just want you to take me to bed."
"I think I can handle that." Wade said with a soft smile, scooping Peter up bridal style and carrying him to the bedroom.
Wade gently put Peter back on his feet and worked on removing his suit until Peter stood completely bare before him. Wade's eyes traced every inch of Peter's body, intent on memorizing it. Not wanting to be alone, Peter moved to help Wade remove his own suit. Once they were both naked, Peter slid into bed, Wade following.
"Let's take this slow, what do you say baby?" Wade asked softly, running his lips up and down Peter's bared neck.
"Please." Peter replied with hitching breath.
Wade moved slowly down Peter's chest, placing loving kisses along the way. Kissing along Peter's flat and hard stomach, Wade reached down and pulled out the plug he had stuck in him earlier. He sat up, his cock twitching as cum slowly leaked out of Peter's tight hole.
"You're so perfect Petey-Pie." Wade groaned.
"Prove it. Tell me why." Peter moaned as Wade swirled his finger along his rim.
"You're perfect for me. You gave me a chance. Believed I could do better. You make changing worth it." Wade paused, then slipped his cum coated finger inside Peter's hole. "And you take what I give you so well."
Peter moaned, loving the way it felt to have Wade prepping him. Slowly, another finger slipped in, the two making scissoring motions to stretch him more.
As he moved his fingers in and out, Wade bend forward and took one of Peter's now pert nipples into his mouth. Peter arched his back, encouraging Wade's actions. Leaving Peter's nipple finally, Wade leaned up and pulled the lube out of his night stand. He added a third finger and pushed them further inside, nailing Peter's prostate a few times before pulled them out.
Peter's breath was a little heavier as he watched Wade lube up his cock. Taking a extra bit, Wade coated Peter's hole and slipped a finger inside again to ensure a smooth and easier entrance on Peter. Slowly, he pushed inside his lover.
Peter groaned at the feeling of Wade filling him up. It felt so right to be joined with him. It felt far to right to leave it.
"Wade," Peter gasped, feeling Wade bottom out. "Please."
"Anything for you Petey-Pie." Wade smiled and slowly began to rock back and forth.
The pace was slow, meant to last. Wade caressed every part of Peter he could reach, leaning down and pressing thier lips together. Peter moaned into the kiss, his tongue licking along Wade's bottom lip. Wade opened his mouth as Peter invaded. The this stretched on, fueled by Wade's consistent hits of his cock against Peter's prostate.
When they broke for air, Wade paused, waiting for Peter's eyes to focus and look at his. Once he had Peter's attention, he took a breath, then the words came.
"I love you Peter Parker."
Wade's thrusts never slowed as a goofy grin bloomed on Peter's face.
"I didn't think that was a secret Wade." his eyes twinkled with mirth and pleasure. "But if you think it was, then I'll tell you one of mine in return. I love you, Wade Wilson."
Peter had internally debated long and hard about those words. Wade had had no problem with his attraction to Spider-Man, but he hadn't known how the man was going to react to Peter Parker. Wade's lazy but purposeful thrusts and warm mouth on his left little room to question how he felt. He felt the same about Peter as he did Spider-Man.
Peter on the other hand, had apparently been denying his feelings for the merc long enough to be unsure if he was ready to utter those words. However, as he looked up at Wade's loving gaze, he knew it was right. This was right where he was meant to be and Wade was who he was meant to be there with.
Smiling softly, Wade's thrusts begin to pick up speed and Peter felt his release building.
Peter moans, fists twisting in the sheets. With a few more powerful thrusts, Peter came hard, shouting Wade's name. At Peter's cry, Wade finished, once again filling Peter with cum. The two locked eyes, both panting and covered in a thin sheen of sweat. Sighing in content, Wade placed a kiss to Peter's forehead, sliding out of him slowly. Reaching to the night stand, he grabbed some tissues and wiped up Peter's stomach before collapsing next to him.
The two lay there, recovering and enjoying the other's presence.
"Wanna get a shower Baby Boy?" Wade asked, brushing Peter's sweaty curls off his forehead.
"Honestly, I'm to tired to bother. We'll take one in the morning." he replied, snuggling up to Wade's side.
Wade smiled, pulling his closer.

After watching Daredevil leap out the window, Tony rounded on the former soldier.
"You want to explain to me how you know my protege and have been seeing him behind my back?!" Tony shouted, face twisting in a glare.
"I wasn't aware I needed to report every thing I did to you."
"You sure as hell do when it involves him!"
"I think you need to step back Stark." Bucky narrowed his eyes. "I don't think you have any right to that kid's life considering what happened between you."
Tony stepped back, eyes widening a bit before drawing his eyebrows down with a sneer.
"Let me guess," he started. "Did the devil tell you his version of events? I'm sure he had quite the story to tell since he hates me because he wants to keep Peter to himself and the other vigilants of New York."
Bucky schooled his features, refusing to show any of his internal hesitance caused by Tony's words. It was true that Peter had issues with Tony, but it was questionable as to wether Daredevil's story was real or not. The man was extremely protective and invested in the spider.
"I would suggest that unless you hear something from Peter himself that you throw everything you hear out the window." Tony growled, confident in the thought that Peter would never tell what happened.
It wasn't hard to see that Peter didn't want to talk about his time with Tony, not that there was anything Tony couldn't explain better. Shooting Bucky a steely look, the billionare turned and stomped out the door.
Bucky frowned at the open window. Truth was, he had no real reason to trust Daredevil or Stark at this point.
