Avengers meet and greet
“Okay Spider-man, lets get you out of here.”
Peter and Ned were looking at each other for too long to be considered normal. MJ sighed and ran a hand down her face. They were having a non verbal conversation... again. Somehow while Peter was wearing a mask. Peter was tilting his head more than he usually would in these conversations to get over the mask problem.
Peter thought about it, he really did. The Avengers were really cool. And clearly they didn’t want him to leave. Not for personal reasons or anything but still. They wanted him to stay. And Shuri and Wanda were the rare few who got his references in this business.
Of course there was still May. Yeah okay, he decided to go home. He missed her and he was worried for how she was coping. If the roles were reversed and Ned had given him some obviously fake reason for why May was missing, he wouldn’t know what he’d do.
All good things must come to an end, eh?
Unfortunately, Tony wasn’t on board with his plan. Or the other Avengers for that matter. Woah, the Avengers wanted him to stay. That was so cool.
“Hello?” Tony interrupted, “I don’t care who you are, we are doing a very important interrogation here.”
MJ decided to join the mute conversation. Peter was frantically shaking head at Ned which meant he was worried about something -it also caused Clint to whisper to Natasha “does being insane run in the family?” Peter was probably worried about May, MJ concluded. Ned was still stuck in awestruck face but was nodding understandingly. MJ had a solution to Ned’s wanting to stay with the Avengers and Peter’s desire to see his aunt.
MJ shrugged her shoulders at Tony, “Yeah, I guess we could hang out for a bit.”
“Nuh-uh” Tony shook his finger at her, “you’re going to leave with your brother so that we can talk to your older brother privately.”
But MJ was already seated next to Natasha and they were getting on too well for Tony’s liking.
Ned and Peter immediately looked up from their conversation when MJ had spoken.
“Well the only other option, Stark, is that we leave with our older bro.” MJ responded bitterly.
Tony let out a little chuckle at the ridiculousness. “And how do you suppose you do that?”
MJ sighed again. People were exhausting. She looked over at Peter, who was clearly trying carefully to move gently in his restraints, and moved her gaze back to Tony.
“He can easily break out of those cuffs.”
“MJ” Peter whined and threw his cuffed hands in the air. “You’re embarrassing me in front of the Avengers.”
Steve let out a sort of chuckle, “I think you may be overestimating your brother, even I can’t break out of those.”
Peter gave MJ a head tilt meaning ‘see!” But she wasn’t buying it. One brow raise was enough to make him groan.
“I didn’t need to break out of them yet.” He made his excuse. He wasn’t proud of it but he was tired so he was going to cut himself some slack.
“What, so you miss a full week of work?” MJ said with such conviction that Peter believed for a second that he actually did have a job and that he was going to be fired.
Remembering that she was referring to school and not his fictional job, he replied “But MJ they’re The Avengers! I’m not going to not take the opportunity to meet them!” He pointed a finger at one man and hissed loudly enough for everyone to hear anyway, “Look! There’s Dr Bruce Banner!”
“So I’m the one embarrassing you, Spidey?” She asked amused by the boy’s antics.
Peter didn’t seem to be half as embarrassed as he should be. “And there’s the Scarlet Witch and the princess of Wakanda!” He practically squeaked. He reached forward and grabbed her shoulder and shook her slightly in excitement. “And they watch vines!”
MJ smirked at him and Ned just gasped. “Oh my god the amount of times you’ve given out about bad guys not getting your references!” He was as uncontrollably excited as Peter.
“Exactly!” Peter turned to Ned. “How could I possibly leave this place?”
———————————————————
“Wait” Tony butted into the weirdness of the conversation once again, “This is not some sort of hang out spot. We choose when you leave, Spidey.”
But the vigilante was already talking at intense speeds about the Avengers to his brother who was doing the same. No one in the room bar themselves and MJ could understand what they were saying.
Before Tony’s eyes, everyone had decided to go along with MJ’s plan. Bruce, Shuri, Spiderman and Ned? Was it? Were all blabbering about science enthusiastically. MJ and Natasha were sharing their own badass stories and tips to trick people. Wanda, Steve and Clint were joking about something or other, Tony didn’t care too much. He was just baffled at how uninterested they all were in interrogating Spidey.
Tony had to turn away for a second and just run his hands through his hair. When he turned back around, it was worse. Everyone was gathered around Spiderman as he recounted a story of his crime fighting times.
“And he kidnapped me for like 3 whole minutes! He was definitely not my best kidnapper. I gave his kidnapping attempt 2 stars-“
Tony just stood baffled as the Avengers seemed to drink in every word. He cut in “Wait how many times have you been kidnapped?”
Spiderman tilted his head and counted on his fingers until he found his answer and simply said “Too many.” He quickly added “But you guys are like the best so far!”
Tony and the Avengers (and shuri) stood in shock before him. They had no idea that this guy had been kidnapped so often. He guessed not having a team by his side lead to that.
Natasha looked on the verge of laughter which hardly ever happened. “How many stars do we get, Spidey?”
“In terms of actual kidnapping skill, I’d say a solid 7/10. The cuffs are kinda weak and the location was obvious for my siblings to find me.” Natasha nodded and Spiderman quickly added “But you guys are by far the best kidnappers! You know vines, you don’t tell me to shut up every second and you haven’t tortured me..... yet” he scratched the back of his neck before quickly getting back on topic, “And you’re THE AVENGERS AND THE PRINCESS OF WAKANDA!!!” He cleared his throat and added more calmly, “So I’d give you an overall score of 9/10.”
The team seemed happy by their score. Tony shook his head, this was insane.
——————————————————-
A few more minutes of Peter, Shuri, Wanda, Ned and MJ explaining vines to Steve later, and MJ clapped her hands together. “Well this has been fun. Thank you for having us, it was nice talking to all of you.”
Tony, who had found himself sucked into the vine discussion, realized that they still had an interrogation to do.
Huh, he found himself enjoying the company of the teens and Spiderman. He snapped himself out of it. “For the last time, this is an interrogation! Not some Avengers meet and greet so if you don’t mind-“ He was cut off by his phone ringing. All eyes turned to him. He was about to ignore it before he saw who was calling. He took in a frustrated breath as he answered the call. They were in for it now.
“Nice to see you too, Fury.”
