Spooky Scary Skeletons (but the remix of course)
Peter stuck his hand up in the air like he would in class. Tony rolled his eyes before allowing him to speak. “Can I go to the bathroom?” Peter asked. He forgot that he had needed to go for quite a while now.
Some things were just more exciting.
Tony simply nodded and showed him the way. Not before they passed a lab of some sort. Some lab for workers on the lower levels, Tony didn’t really think much of it. The boy in the red costume however, ran up to they window and pressed his face against it, gasping.
It amused Tony to no end. “They’re nothing compared to my one. Want to head up there, Spidey?” The boy nodded his head so quickly that Tony was worried it would fall off. The boy raced off to the elevator.
“Didn’t you need to use the bathroom?”
The boy raced back to him and without a word, was led off to the bathroom. Then he raced over to the elevator.

“маленький паук has been gone for a long time.” Natasha noted rather ominously during their game of cards.
Card games, as they discovered, were not the best game to play with each other. MJ and Natasha’s poker faces made poker a no-go and Wanda could read everyone’s mind, cheating at any card game. The others were honestly quite glad to have a break.
Seeing the Spidey team’s bewildered faces, Shuri clarified that Natasha meant their Spider Sibling. MJ laughed “oh he’s not actually our sibling.” She scoffed “We don’t even look alike.”
Steve spluttered “B-but you were so upset earlier when we said-“
MJ dismissed him with her hand “Hey hey it’s ok you’re forgiven. It’s in the past.”
Steve spluttered some more. Ned gave him a comforting pat on the shoulder.
“Ok but seriously where is that child and Tony?” Shuri asked after getting distracted for a few more minutes.
Bruce nominated himself to go and find them mostly because he sucked at card games with normal people let alone spies and witches.
After a solid 30 minutes of vine compilations, Thor looked up from the phone suddenly. “Banner hasn’t returned.”
Wanda looked up and smirked. “This is such a horror movie cliché.”
“Hey why don’t we split up?” Shuri joked.
Steve looked up and pondered the thought. Shuri looked at him incredulously. “Did they seriously not have Scooby-Doo in the 40s? They make it very clear that under no circumstances do we EVER split up.” She crossed her arms and huffed. “Scooby and Shaggy ALWAYS end up getting chased.”
“Right?” Ned continued for her,shaking his head, “the things they’d do for a Scooby Snack.”
Ned pulled himself up from the ground and went to the door. “Hey, where are you going?” MJ asked squinting her eyes. Ned had one of his feet already out of the room before answering. “I’m finding our bro.” Lie exposed or not Peter was their bro.
“You must not have heard brother of Spiders, but it may be dangerous for you to leave.” Thor pointed out clearly dismayed seeing Ned continue to edge his way out of the room.
“Oh sorry!” Ned exclaimed. “I want my Spidey merch to go to Spidey. I want MJ to have my voice modifier I’ve been working on and you guys can have my money,” he closed the door before anyone could get another word in.
The team looked dismayed. “Guys I don’t want to be the one to break it to you all but he doesn’t have any money.” MJ scoffed. Seeing MJ’s extreme lack of worry eased them and they settled back up to read some Avengers fanfiction. MJ laughed at their shocked faces as they read each of them.
After several minutes of cringing, MJ choked, “No. Tony Stark/Spider-man. We’re going to stop now. God, that’s illegal.”
Clint threw threw his hands over his face and groaned. MJ raised a brow, “What, you ship it?” Clint refused adamantly and explained. “I was really hoping that he was a very young looking 18 year old.”
MJ smiled to herself. Peter would love to hear that. Too many times, her, Ned and May slagged him for how young he looked, much to his despair.
“Whatever, where is everyone?” Wanda asked briskly changing the conversation.
Everyone looked at each other intensely. Then towards the door, and then back to each other. “Shit” Steve whispered causing Clint and Natasha to gasp, point at him and at the same time, exclaimed “Language!” It was some sort of routine, MJ wasn’t sure but it was impressively choreographed. Steve just groaned and moped over to the door muttering something about wanting to go missing too.
The team reluctantly stood and followed him. They couldn’t have Steve wandering around looking to be taken. Bucky would kill them from wherever he was.
The suspense was killing them. FRIDAY told them that all of the missing people were on floor 98. Tony’s floor. As in the floor where only Tony, Rhodey and Pepper could go. Something was up.
Once the elevator reached the floor, Steve pushed himself out in front and crept slowly forward to the voices sounding in the room. He expected screams and shouts. What he wasn’t was science blabbering and giggling.
The scene before him made him gasp. His brows creased in confusion at the domestic scene. Tony Stark was ruffling Spidey kid’s hair before returning to his project. The project which a certain Spidey kid was working on him with. Tony Stark doesn’t allow people to touch his inventions. Ever.
Bruce and Ned were working on something and judging by the latter’s head bouncing, he was chatting. Bruce laughed and shook his head before returning to the invention.
Steve realized that the team were looking at his reactions with worried and scared faces. He shook his head and smiled. The confused team followed him to watch the scene.
The spider boy somehow heard the non existent noise of them creeping over and turned his head so quickly that the team were worried that his head would fall off.
Everyone stared at each other for an uncomfortably long time before Natasha nodded towards the spider-boy. “You hungry, маленький паук?”
After minutes of discussions and well argued debates, they finally decided on pizza. They sat down in some sort of cinema room that Peter couldn’t begin to describe. As Star Wars started playing he, Ned and MJ bunched together as they usually did when they watched marathons together.
Natasha noticing the Spider-boy shivering slightly, she instinctively reached her hand forward and wrapped it around the boy’s shoulders. He smiled and snuggled into her shoulder. She smiled fondly. Whatever the conversation they had the night before was, brought motherly instincts to her which she didn’t think she could’ve possibly had.
As the movie finished, the teens had fallen asleep on each other. MJ’s usually tough façade faded slightly while she was asleep but still managed to look intimidating while resting on Spidey’s chest. Shuri and Wanda had bunches up on Ned’s left and had fallen asleep on his shoulder as well.
The rest of the men bar Tony were no longer awake either. Natasha and Tony nodded towards each other and headed off to their rooms leaving the almost obnoxiously domestic scene.
——————————————————-
Tony smiled fondly at the work before him. The Spider-kid was insanely smart. Tony couldn’t help but take a liking to his constant meaningless chat. God he sounded so sappy. He was snapped out of his daze by an automated voice.
“Sir Nick Fury is calling.”
Tony sighed. What was he going to tell him?
