Superhero Family are Crazy(er)

Rose was walking through her inland, when a tree grabbed her arm and shook her. Out of instinct, the mage punched the tree. Pain came from her hand, waking from her dream. Upon waking she saw someone standing over her with their hand over the face.

Realizing what happened. “Oh, god! I’m sorry!” She said, moving the hand away for she could see who she hit. Steve moved his hand way, with a red mark on his face where he was slapped. “Oh, it’s you. What do you want?” She said, stretching out.

“Dinner ready.” The man said, looking down at the girl.

Rose sat up and looked to the table. “I see.” The two made their way to the table, were everyone had gathered to eat. She sat next to Peter and began to make a plate of food. As she looked around she saw some of the Avengers were missing. “Where are the others?”

“Clint and Nat took Thor to get his date for the wedding.” Pepper said. “They are also going to pick up Clint’s family on the way.”

“Tony and Bruce went to the lab.” Steve said. “And Vision and Wanda left somewhere. Bucky, Sam and Rhodey went to the gym.”

“And King T’challa with his group left.”

“How long was I asleep?” Rose turned to her boyfriend.

“About four hours.” The boy confirmed.

“Who’s Thor’s date?”

“Doctor Jane Foster.” Pepper answered, tapping on a Stark Pad.

“Ah yes, Jane Foster. Been a while since I’ve talked with her.” A voice said.

Pepper looked around. “Who said that? Friday?”

“That was not me, Ms. Potts.” The AI said.

“It was me.” Rose’s phone said.

“Hello, Aunt Cora.” Rose said as a hologram of her aunt came out of the phone and began to fly around.

“Hello Ms. Anderson.” Peter said.

Cora grinned. “Peter didn’t I tell you to call me Cora.”

“Oh, right. Sorry. I forgot.”

“It’s okay.” The hologram smiled. “Rose your Father wanted to talk to you about something.”

“What about?” Rose asked.
“Something about you dating. I don’t know.” Cora chuckled. “Apparently, h is not happy with his little princess with a boyfriend.”

Rose, May, Pepper and Steve laughed as Peter blushed. “Your phone was ringing and I didn’t want it to wake you. So… I answered it.”

“You talked to my father?” The girl asked.

“Yeah. I told him I knew about you and him having magic.”

“What did he say?”

“He said it was fine.” The boy bushed again. “He also said, if I try anything with you, he would hunt me down and burn off my… manhood.” Rose placed a hand over her mouth to stop her laugh and letting out her food. May, Cora and Pepper laughed as Steve just chuckled. “I don’t think he likes me.”

“You’re dating his daughter, he is biologically programmed to hate you.” May said, with a smile.

“I remember my first boyfriend, Thomas Alexander.” Cora stated. “My father hated him.”

“Really?” Rose asked.

“Oh, yes. Thomas was as dumb as the football he kicked around, but he was sweet and nice.”

Rose grinned at the smile on her aunt’s face. “Why did grandfather hate him?”

“He and Mother came home yearly and caught us naked in front of the fire place.” A roar of laughter came from everyone. “Sarah laughed too, when I told her.”

Rose placed her fork on her empty plate. “Well I should call father and let him know I’m okay.” She said, standing up and taking her phone. With one hand she tapped on her phone as the other traced a square on the glass window. With a snap of her fingers the squire opened to the outside.

“That girl never stops impressing me.” May said, picking up the empty plates.

“Yeah.” Peter said with a smile. “Oh yeah. Dad is take us to Italy tomorrow.”

“I’m aware.” May said.

“I don’t see why we have to go to Italy to get fitted for suits.” Steve said, with a grin.

“You know Tony, always extra.” Pepper said, chuckling. “I need to stay and make sure everything is in order. But after that, I’m taking the girls for a day out.”

“Cool.” Peter smiled.

“Indeed it is.” Rose said, flying back in. “Peter I need to talk to you.”

“Sure.” The boy said standing up. “What’s up?”

“I had my aunt check to see if Dr. Otto Octavius is still in prison.”

This made Peter focus. “And?”

“Looks like our good doctor, got out on the day of the first robot attack.” Rose explained. “I also think that those ‘attacks’ were meant to be distractions to help him escape and capture you.”

“So Taskmaster was working for him?” The boy asked. ‘Great! Like I don’t have enough problems.’

“No. But I do think he is part of a bigger plan.” The girl said. “I think you should be careful when you go out on patrol.”

Peter nodded to the girl. “I’ll try.”

“Good.” The girl sighed. “And call me if you need help, kay?”

“Right.”

Rose smiled and looked at her phone. “It’s getting late. I have to go.” She pulled the boy into a kiss. “I’ll call you tomorrow.”

Peter smiled and kissed pulled her into another kiss. “Okay.”

TIME SKIP

The next morning, Peter woke to the sound of an alarm. He jumped and got his foot caught in his blankets, making him fall face first to the floor. The alarm stopped and Friday’s voice spoke. “Good morning, Peter. Boss asked me to make sure you are ready to go after breakfast.”

Peter groaned as he stood up. “Really? He told you to use an alarm.”

“I’m afraid so.” Friday stated, sounding a little apologetic.

“It’s okay, Friday.” The teen said, making his way to the bathroom. “Tell dad, I’m up and ready to go after we eat.”

“Understood.”

Peter showered and ready for the day. As he walked to the commons room, voices of people he didn’t now came from the other side.

“Good to see you again, Pepper.” One said.

“Yeah, who would have thought that Stark would actually be getting married?” Another joked.

“It truly is a joyous occasion.” Thor stated. Peter stepped into the room and had four new pairs of eyes on him. Thor smiled and walked over to the teen. “My friends, this is the son of Stark, Peter.”

“We know muscles.” A girl not much older than peter stated. “We watch the news.”

Peter smiled and held out his hand. “Hi, nice to meet you.”

An older woman stepped closer. “Hello, Peter. I’m Jane. Jane Foster.” She turned to an older man.

“Hello, there young man. I’m Professor Lambeau.” The man said, holding out his hand.

“Wait. Professor Gerald Lambeau and Jane Foster? I’ve read your research on Einstein’s bridge of relativity.” Peter said, smiling. “If you have some time, I would love to ask you two some questions.” He stated, almost jumping up and down.

Both scientist chuckled. “We would love to.” Jane said, smiling back.

“Okay, okay. Before you get your nerd on.” The other girl stepped close to the teen. “Hi, I’m Darcy Lewis. Jane’s intern.”

“Uh. Hi.”

“So you are the spiderboy?” Darcy asked.

“It’s Spider-man.” Peter said, before realizing what just came out of his mouth.

“Ha! Knew it!” Darcy said, turning away with a huge smile on her face.

“I… I mean.” Peter tried to come up with something to say, but could only babble.

Thor’s hand landed on the boy’s shoulder making the teen stop and winced in pain. “Do not worry, Man of Spiders. Your secret is safe with us.”

Peter sighed with relief as the four new comers nodded. “So you are spider-man?” An English accent spoke up.

The teen looked to the last member of Thor’s friends coming forward. “Yeah?”

“Nice to meet you. I’m Ian Boothby. Darcy’s intern/boyfriend.” The man said holding out his hand.

“Oh. Nice to meet you to.” The teen said, taking the guy’s hand into his.

“Am I interrupting something?” Someone asked. Everyone turned to the window to see Mystic, who made another hole in the window to come inside.

“Oh my god!” Ian said, with a huge smile on his face.

“Hello.” The mage said, flying in and taking a seat. A wave of his hand and the window closed again. “Who are you?”

Ian speed walk to the mage. “Y-You ar-are Mystic?”

Mystic eyed the man that walked up to him. “Yes.” He said, raising his hand. “And you are?”

“Oh. I’m Ian. Ian Boothby.” The young man said, taking the hand and shaking it as if it was a lifeline.

“Dude. Your geek is showing.” Darcy said, pulling Ian away.

“S-Sorry.” The man blushed. “It’s just. It’s the Mystic. The Black Mage himself. I am a huge fan.”

Mystic chuckled at the man. “It is an honor to meet you, Mr. Boothby.”

“You can call me, Ian.”

“You didn’t act this way with Thor. Why Mystic?” Darcy asked.

“When I meet Thor, we were trying to stop an army of dark elves form destroying everything.” Ian stated, making the rest of his group nod in understanding. “But Mystic, is like the Captain America or Spider-Man of the U.K.”

“Fair point.” Darcy nodded. “Home team hero.”

“Hear that? You have fans.” Peter chuckled, taking a seat with a bowl of cereal.

Mystic rolled his eyes. “What can I say? People love me.”

“Don’t get a head of yourself, kid.” Tony said, walking in. “You are still not even in the top five best heroes.”

Mystic eyed the man. “True. But how many of those heroes can say they outsmarted the Avengers.”

Tony rolled his eyes as he poured himself a cup of coffee. “Old news, kid.”

“And yet still a valid point.”

“Okay, you two.” Pepper said, tapping on her Stark pad.

“Anyway. May I ask, who are you?” Mystic looked to Jane and Erik.

“Mage of Black. This is Jane Foster, one of the most brilliant woman you will find in all the realms.” Thor said, pulling the woman close. Jane blushed at the complement.

“High praise from a god.” A voice said. “What happened to the girl I knew in college?”

“Who said that?” Jane said as everyone looked around the room.

“I did.” The T.V. lit up to Cora’s face. “It has been a long time, Jane.”

Jane’s mouth fell open. “Cora!”

“Hello, bookworm.”

“Oh my god.” Jane walked to the T.V. “How have you been? The last I heard of you was when your sister pasted away.”

“I prefer not to talk about that.” Cora said, with sad eyes looking at Mystic.

“Hello, intro.” Darcy said, standing next to her mentor.

“Oh, right.” Jane place a hand on her intern. “This is Darcy, my intern.”

“Sup?” The college student said.

Cora grind. “Oh. I can tell you and me are going to get along very well.”

“Cool.”

“No. No, no.” Jane said, pulling Darcy away. “You are not going to corrupt her more than she already is.”

“Come now, Jane.” Cora’s grin widen. “What could I possibly do?”

“Remember spring break of 95?”

The woman on the screen burst out laughing. “If I recall, you were the one to drink five shots in a row.”

“What?” Darcy said, looking at her mentor.

“Oh, yes. Jane here was dancing on tables, wearing nothing but a short pink skirt and a pink cowboy hat.” Cora giggled. Darcy looked at Jane, with her mouth open and wide eye.

Jane had her face in her hand and a deep red blush going do her neck. “We agreed to never talk about that night!”

“Truth will out.” Cora smiled at her old friend.

“Jane, I have a new respect for you.” Darcy smiled.

“As did I when I saw her. People thought she was stripper and began to throw money at her.”

“Oh my god!” Darcy screamed and laughed.

“She made five hundred seventeen dollars in one night.”

Darcy’s mouth dropped again. “I was young and drunk.” Jane explained. “And it was six hundred seventeen dollars.”

“I don’t even know you.” Darcy said, with a huge smile on her face.

“Okay, enough story time!” Jane said, walking over to Erik. “Cora you remember Erik.”

“Erik, of course.” Cora smiled. “How have you been?”

“I met a god. Got a god in my head. Went crazy for a bit. All in all, not bad.” The man said.

“Yes, I saw your arrest at Stonehenge.” The woman smiled. “It’s nice to see you back in good health.”

“Uh, excuse me.” Tony said, stepping up to the screen. “How did you get into this system?”

“Please.” Cora rolled her eyes at the man. “You need to update your firewalls. It took me ten minutes to get in.”

Tony was about to say something with the door burst open and Clint and his family walked in. “Hey!” The man shouted.

“Hello, Mrs. Barton.” Peter said, waving at the family. “Good to see you again Cooper Lila and Nate.”

“Lila look at you.” Mystic said, standing up and hugging the girl. Pulling away the mage looked at the young woman and smiled. “You got taller.”

“Just a little.” The girl said, with a smile.

“You will beating boys off with a stick when you get older.” The two laughed.

“No, she won’t.” Clint said. “Lila isn’t going to be dating.” Eyeing his daughter.

Mystic laughed. “What you want to happen and what will happen are two different reality.”

“Besides, dad. I have already gone on a date.” Lila stated with a grin.

“What?!” Clint stared at his little girl.

“Mom said it was okay.”

Clint turned to wife. “If you were around more, you would’ve known.” Laura said, smiling and walking over to the table to talk to May and Pepper.

Mystic smiled as he reached for his mask. With a pull and a puff of black smoke the mask was gone. Those unfamiliar with the mage’s true face, stared in shock at the young man. Even more so when Mystic changed to Rose. “That’s better.” She stated. “I like that mask, but sometimes it can be a little too much.”

“Oh god!” Ian said, wide eye and mouth hanging open.

“Definitely don’t see that every day.” Erik said.

“Hello. I am Rose. Rose Anderson.” The girl said, smiling at the group.

“Anderson?” Jane said. “Like Cora?”

“Yes. Cora is my aunt.”

Jane looked at the screen with Cora. “Is she Sarah’s?”

“Do I have any other siblings?” Cora smiled.

“I can’t believe.” Jane said walking over to the Girl. “You look just like your mother. Except your-”

“Eyes.” Rose smiled. “I have my father’s eyes.” She chuckled. “Did you know my mother?”

“Cora, introduced us when we were in collage.” Jane nodded. “Your mom was starting her career. I was a huge fan of her singing and art.”

“I was too.” Rose gave a sad smile. “She taught me how to paint.”

“And how to sing.” Cora said, with a small smile.

“You sing?” Peter said, walking to his girlfriend.

“I used to.” Rose said turning away from the group and looking out the window. “After mother passed, I stopped.”

“Shame to.” Cora stated. “Sarah would often say Rose had a better voice then her.”

“Can we please change the subject, please?!” The teen said, walking over to the couch and tripping over something. “OW!”

“Oh, god!” Peter rushed to her side. “Are you okay?”

“I’m fine.” Rose said, letting Peter help her off the floor. “What did I trip on?”

Everyone looked to the hammer on the ground. “I am sorry, Lady Rose.” Thor said, looking at his hammer confused. “I thought I placed Mjolnir on the couch, not by it.”

“Sorry, Mr. Thor. That was me.” Peter said. “I moved out of the way.” Everyone but Rose and Cora looked at the boy as if he grew a second head. “What?”

“You moved it?” Asked Darcy.

“Yeah?” Peter said walking over to the Hammer. “Look.” With a pull, Peter lifted the hammer off the floor and placed it on the coffee table. “See.” Once again everyone’s eyes widen and stared at the boy. “Why are they looking at me?” Peter asked Rose.

“I don’t know.” Rose said, looking at Mjolnir. “I don’t get why lifting this is a big deal for you people.” The girl reached out, grabbed the handle and raised the hammer. “It has a lot of power in it.” She said, looking closely at the metal. “But I don’t see the big deal.” She looked at everyone again, only to find all eyes on her now.

Clint was the first to snap out of it and laugh. “Oh I get it. This is one of your illusions.” He said pointing to the young mage and walking over to the table.

Rose placed the hammer down and rolled her eyes. “No, it’s not.”

“Yes it is. There’s no way two teenagers could lift this.” Clint said as he grabbed the handle pulled. The hammer did not move of budge in the slightest. “Come on, kid. You can stop with the lie.”

“Dad, Rose can’t lie.” Lila said, watching as her dad fell to even move the hammer.

Clint let go of Mjolnir and looked at the two teens who lifted it before. “How?”

Rose and Peter looked at each other, then back at the man and shruged. “I have no idea what you are talking about.” Peter stated.

Rose looked at the hammer again. “What’s so special about lifting Mjolnir?”

“Allow me.” Thor said, walking over to the table. It one hand he lifted the hammer and looked at it. Then placed it down on the table again. “This should explain.” Both teens looked at the hammer as words appeared.

‘Whosoever holds this
hammer, if he be worthy,
shall possess the
power of…
Thor’

The teen looked at the writing and only one thing came to mind. “Holy shit.”
