(Wednesday)
*Tony POV*
Today is that day that I meet my new intern and the day that I try and get Steve out of his room. He hasn't eaten since Sunday and even then he didn't eat a lot for dinner. He's a super soldier so he needs to eat a lot of food. He also hasn't worked out or anything which I'm also worried about him for. I go to his room and try the door but it's locked.

"Capsicle wishes to not be disturbed right now" FRIDAY says

"FRIDAY, please change his name to Captain Rogers" I say

"Name is changed" she says

"Thank you." I say

I knock on the door and after about three minutes I don't hear anything. I go to my room and grab my tablet. I go into my AI system and override it. I then stand outside of Steve's room. As soon as I unlock his door I open it and walk in. I then re-lock the door and set the AI back to the way it was.

"What are you doing in here Anthony" he grumbles

"I'm worried about you Cap. We all are" I say

"I'm fine" he says

"Really? Because it looks like you haven't been eating or sleeping which is really bad for a super soldier. Come and get something to eat and then go to the gym or do something." I say

"I have been doing something" he says

"Sketching and painting does not count. You need some fresh air. Now shower and then come to the garage. I'll be waiting. We are going to go out for breakfast because I know you probably don't want to talk with the others. Also, just so you know, your bird friend Sam contacted me and he moved into the tower yesterday. Something about you saying he could be apart of the Avengers and him losing his house" I say

"Sam's here? I never told him he could be an Avenger. Oh well. We could probably use some more help" He says

"Yeah well, I'll see you down in the garage. If you really don't want to talk to anyone remove that picture over there and pull the lever. A secret stairwell will appear and it will lead you directly to the garage" I say

He nods and I walk out. I go to the kitchen where the others are and they all look at me.

"Is Steve okay" Sam asks

"Yeah. He's just getting ready then him and I are going to breakfast. No. None of you may come. None of you may bother him either unless he comes out to hang with you all" I say

"Alright. Oh yeah Tony, Bucky is getting released from shield because Fury says he is no longer being controlled and is making great progress. He wants to know if Bucky can stay here" Nat asks

"Um well, let's see here, Steve and I are on this floor and I am keeping that other bedroom open for something. You, Clint, and Bruce are on the next floor. So I guess he can be on the floor below us with Sam and Rhodey. Thor just so you know, Wanda and Vision are coming back from their trip in a few months so they will be on your floor again." I say

"Okay man of Iron. Happy also has not gotten my pop tarts yet" Thor says

"Okay. I'll stop and get them on my way back" I say

He nods and I say bye to everyone then head to the garage. I get there and Steve is standing there.

"I thought you'd be waiting for me not the other way around" he states

"Sorry. I had to deal with some things." I say

I grab a set of keys and press the unlock button. We then head over to the vehicle that unlocked which was the '67 Camaro. We get in and I start it up.

"You should wear those glasses more often" I say

"I don't know. They aren't even prescription lenses" he says

"I know. You wear them as a disguise. Which I don't really understand why, but you look good in glasses." I say

"Thanks" he smiles

We get to a small diner and I park the car. We get out and go inside. We go to a table and sit down. Not too long after someone comes over and we order. I know they recognize us but they keep their cool and then walk away.

"Um Steve there's another reason why I had us come to breakfast" I say

"What is it" he asks

"Well It's just that I'm sorry for what I said on Sunday. Like really sorry. I wasn't thinking before I started talking like normal. I also hated Captain America so much growing up that when I was shown your file by Fury I ignored all the things about you and only read the Captain America stuff. I went back and read about your life and I'm really sorry you had to go through that. You have gone through so much loss and I never knew and acted so inconsiderate." I say

"Thanks Tony. I really appreciate the apology. And I forgive you. I'm also sorry for us getting into an argument." He says

"Hey none of this is your fault. It is all on me. You have had a lot more trauma than me and I guess I didn't want to give you, the real you, a shot because of how my dad talked about Captain America" I say

Steve goes to say something but our food shows up. We eat for a little bit before he responds.

"Honestly Tony, Howard was a great man but also not a great man. I mean I connected with Peggy mostly so I didn't know that your father thought that highly of me" he says

"Oh. Well yeah. I'm also sorry about Peggy. I know you two were really close and that you loved her" I say

He just gives me a sad smile and we finish eating. I grab a napkin and Steve and I both sign it. Once the waitress comes over we hand her the napkin, pay, and then leave. We get in the car and I head to the store. I run in and buy some pop tarts then I get in the car again. I then start driving towards the tower.

"Oh yeah just so you know, the tower is going to be a bit more crowded" I say

"How so" he asks

"Well It's me and you on the main level of the living quarters. Clint, Bruce, and Natasha are a floor up. Thor, Wanda, and Vision are a floor above them and then the floor below us consists of Rhodey, Sam, and Bucky is moving in tomorrow" I say

"Wait Bucky" he asks

"Yeah. Apparently he is no longer being held by shield and they believe he is no longer able to be brainwashed by hydra nor the words so he is a part of the Avengers." I say

"Oh okay" he says

"I mean that is okay with you right Captain" I ask

"Yeah. That's fine. I guess I just didn't expect Bucky to be coming back so soon" he says

"Hey it will be okay. If all of this causes anymore nightmares or panic attacks or you just need to talk, you can come to me" I say

"Okay. Thanks Tony" he says

"You're welcome." I say

We get back to the tower and we take the elevator to the main floor. We get there and everyone is watching "The Brady Bunch" on tv. I look at Steve and he is smiling some. We head over to the living room and Steve sits next to Nat on the one sofa so I go and sit next to Clint on the other one.

"What is this show" Steve asks

"The Brady Bunch. Came out not too long after you went under" Clint says

"Oh okay" Steve responds

After a few episodes I look at the time and see that it's 2PM. I get up from the couch and everyone looks at me.

"Where you going Stark" Natasha asks

"To my lab" I say

Steve stands up as well and they look at him.

"Where are you going" Clint asks

"My room" he says

He walks off and I follow in his direction.

"Hey you probably don't want to hang out with all of them so grab you sketch book and stuff and come to my lab. I'm meeting my intern today so that's why I'm going down there but you can hang out with us" I say

"I don't want to bother you" he mumbles

"You won't be a bother. And actually I'm not asking you if you want to come to my lab, I'm telling you that you are coming" I say

He goes into his room and then comes out a few seconds later with a book and some pencils and erasers. We head to the elevator and ride it down to the lab. Steve walks to the farthest corner in the room that has a small table and sits down.

"You don't have to be isolated" I say

"It's okay. I don't want to bother you" he says

"You won't be a bother. Plus I'm sure the kid would love to meet you" I say

"I'll come over when he arrives" he says

I nod and start working on some small things. After about fifteen minutes I hear the door open. I look up and see Pepper walking in with a boy. Steve gets up from his table and walk over.

"Tony and Steve, this is Peter Parker. He is 15 and a sophomore in high school" Pepper says

"He is also really intelligent" I say

"T-thanks Mr. Stark" Peter says

"You're welcome Peter. And you don't have to be nervous. Thanks Pepper for bringing him down here" I say

"You're welcome" she says kissing my cheek

I fake a smile after the kiss and she walks away. I know I'm dating her, but I don't know if I love her anymore. In fact, I'm pretty sure I don't love her anymore.

"Well Peter you can set your backpack down and then we can start working on some things. Also you probably recognize Steve" I say

"Hi Captain America Sir. It's an honor to meet you" Peter says

"Nice to meet you too Pete and you can call me Steve" Steve says

"Okay Mr. Steve" Peter says

Steve smiles and goes over to the corner again. Peter sets his bag down and we get to work. After a few hours we take a break and Steve comes back over.

"So Peter tell us a bit about yourself" I say

"Um well, Im 15, I am a high schooler. I am probably one of the smartest in my class. I have two friends. Ned and I are obsessed with legos and Star Wars and MJ hangs out with us because we are losers but better to hang with then others." He says

"Wow. Anything else" I ask

"Ihavesuperpowers" he mumbles

"What" Steve asks

"I have super powers" Peter says

"What do you mean" I ask

He walks over to a wall and then takes off his shoes. He then starts crawling up the wall and on the ceiling. He then comes back down and puts his shoes back on. He then reaches into his backpack and pulls out a few things.

"This is my suit that I made myself and I also made myself web-slingers and the web fluid is my own formula. I go out every once in awhile to see what things I can help with in the neighborhood." He says

"Wow. Wait how did this all happen" I ask

"Um well, my parents were scientists and worked in a lab. Someone they work with was working on a project and it got loose. I got bit by it. It was a radioactive spider. I was only four. Then by age 10 I discovered the powers and just four months ago I finalized the web fluid and decided to try it out and started to help people" he says

"That is amazing" I say

"It's dangerous. Do your parents know" Steve asks

"They died. Um when I was 5. My aunt and Uncle took me in. My uncle passed when I was 10. My aunt raises me on her own" Peter says

"I'm sorry Pete." Steve says

"It's okay Mr. Rogers. At least I have my aunt. There's some people who don't have any family" Peter says

"Yeah" Steve says

I look at him and I can tell he's faking a smile.

"So do you have a name for yourself" I ask

"Y-yeah, but it's stupid" Peter stutters

"Come on, it can't be any worse than being called Vision" I say

"Uh Mr. Stark didn't you help create Vision" Peter asks

"Maybe" I say

"Come on Pete what's your name" Steve asks

"I call myself Spider-Man. I have the abilities of a spider but spider boy and spider kid don't sound right" Peter explains

"Spider-Man is a great name. Hey how about every once in a while we work on making you a new suit and try out more web fluid formulas. We can work on it when ever we are slow with the stuff that I need to work on for the industry" I say

"Really Mr. Stark? That would be awesome!! Thank you so much" Peter gawks

"No problem" I say

We work on a few more things with Steve watching us and then Pepper walks in.

"Tony it's 7:30. Peter should probably head home" she says

"Did someone make dinner" I ask

"Yeah. Natasha and Sam are working on it" she says

"Is it almost done" I ask

"Yeah" she says

"Good. Peter let your aunt know you're eating dinner with us and that I'll have you home by 9" I say

"Wait I get to eat dinner with the Avengers" he asks excitedly

"Of course. I mean you are my intern and a superhero. You should meet more superheroes. I mean Iron Man and Captain America are the best but the others are cool too" I say

"This is so awesome. Let me call my aunt." Peter says

I nod and he walks off. Steve goes back to his corner as well and pepper drags me to right outside the lab.

"Is Steve okay? You and him usually aren't this close and he's usually more talkative and not hanging out in your lab" she says

"Steve's okay. We're getting closer. Uh Pepper I need to talk with you tomorrow about something" I say

"Why not right now" she asks

"Uh okay. Well Pepper I'm not in love with you anymore. I can't just fake being in love with you. It wouldn't be fair. I'd really love it if we could remain friends though" I say

"Of course Tony. Honestly, I started to not feel the love either. I'd like to remain friends as well. It would make me being CEO a lot easier" she says

"Great. Are you joining us all for dinner" I ask

"I'm going to pass. I have a few things I still have to get done in the office" she says

"Okay. See you later" I say

She walks off and I go back into the lab. I get in there and Steve and Peter both walk over.

"My aunt May said I could stay for dinner. Also, if you see her tonight do not mention the Spider-man thing. She doesn't know about it or the powers. I've been able to hide them from her" Peter says

"Alright. I promise." I say

We go to the elevator and ride it to the main living area. We step off the elevator and Steve goes to his room while I lead Peter to the dining room. We get in there and everyone stops talking and looks at us.

"Uh Tony, who's the kid" Rhodey asks

"This is Peter. He is my intern. I invited him to join us for dinner" I say

"Hi Peter, my names Natasha but you can call me Nat" Natasha says

"I know. I know all of you. Well almost all of you. I don't know you" he says pointing to Sam

"I'm Sam. Also known as Falcon" Sam answers

"Hi Mr. Falcon." Peter says

"Hey peter can I tell them who you are" I ask

"Go ahead Mr. Stark" Peter replies

"Guys Peter is also a superhero. He is Spider-Man. He has spider like abilities. Go ahead and sit down Peter. You all can start eating too. I'll be right back. I have to go to my room real quick" I say

They nod and I walk away. I go to Steve's door and it's unlocked. I knock and then walk in. I get in there and Steve is sketching again.

"Come on Cap, it's dinner time. You need to eat. You didn't eat lunch" I say

"I'm not hungry" he responds

"I don't care. You at least need to eat a little bit. Come join us" I say

"What were you and pepper talking about? She kept on looking at me through the windows" he says

"She was asking if you were alright. I said you were. That's it. We also came to the mutual decision to break up because we no longer love each other" I say

"Oh. Sorry" he says

"Sorry about what? You have nothing to be sorry for. Now let's go eat before they eat all the food without us." I say

"Okay" he says letting a small smile show

We go out to the dining room and I sit down at the head of the table and Steve sits down between me and Peter. The two of us serve ourselves some food and then hop in on the conversation.

"What are you all arguing about" I ask

"Nothing" Nat says

"Sure. Peter" I ask

"Sorry Mr. Stark, but miss. Nat says I can't tell you and she scares me so I'm gonna listen to her" Peter says

"That's okay Pete. She scares everyone, but Cap" I say

"Hey Pete is my nickname for him. Get your own" Steve says

"What else am I suppose to call him" I ask

"I don't Tony, that is for you to figure out. Because Pete has been claimed by me. Also, by the way, I'm taking him home" Steve smirks

"Are you trying to get an intern? Because if you want I can get Pepper to find you one" I say

"Nah. I don't have a need for an intern. I'm just wanting to bond with my favorite person" Steve smiles

"You better watch your back Rogers" I say

"Don't worry Mr. Stark, I won't forget who my favorite is" Peter says

"Thank you" I say

"I mean Bruce's research is amazing. I've read all of his books more than once" Peter smiles

"Ooh you kid. Alright eat your food" I say

Everyone starts laughing and they continue eating. Once dinner is over Peter grabs his bag and him, Steve, and I head to the garage.

"I thought Mr. Rogers was taking me" Peter asks

"Am I not allowed to tag along" I ask

"I-I'm Sorry Mr. Stark. You can. I me-mean this is your tower" Peter stumbles

"It's okay Underoos. I'm just joking" I say

"Underoos" he asks

"It's the nickname I've chosen for you" I say

"Weird but okay" he says

We go over to the Camaro and Peter gets in back while I get in the passenger seat. Steve starts the car and pulls out of the garage. Peter gives him directions and we soon pull in front of an apartment building.

"See ya later Pete" Steve says

"Bye Mr. Rogers. It was nice meeting you all" Peter says

"I'll see you tomorrow Mr. Stark" Peter says

"Bye Underoos." I say

Peter gets out of the car and runs inside. Steve sits outside of the building for a bit looking out his window. After awhile he drives off.

"What were you waiting for" I ask

"For Pete to wave out his window. I wanted to make sure he got to his apartment safely" Steve says

"Oh" I say

"Thank you Tony" he says

"For what" I ask

"For being here for me. I really appreciate it." He says

"You're welcome." I say

We get back to the tower and go to the main living area. We walk into the living room and see everyone still here.

"Why are you guys still here? Each of you have your own movie room on your floors" I say

"We like this one" Clint says

"Leave. I'm wanting to sleep and I don't want to hear the tv or any of you" Steve says

"Yes sir Captain" Rhodey says

Rhodey and Sam leave, but the others stay.

"Guys please just go. I'm tired as well" I say

"Fine. Goodnight man of Iron and Captain" Thor says

Him and Bruce leave but Natasha and Clint are still sitting there. Steve glares at Clint and he runs off.

"What do you want Nat" I ask

"What's going on between the two of you" she asks

"Nothing." Steve says

"Come on Steve do you really think I believe that" Nat asks

"Tony apologized. I forgave him. We understand each other more and no longer hate each other's guts" Steve says

"Ugh. I'll accept that answer for now. Goodnight guys" she says

She walks off and I look at Steve.

"Good night Steve. See you tomorrow. Don't forget that Bucky is moving in" I say

"Yeah. Good night Tony" he says

I go to my room and crawl into bed. I then think about what Nat told me the other day. Steve likes me. The thing is, I'm pretty sure I like him too. I think I've liked him for awhile but I hid it by hating Captain America and liking Pepper. I. Like. Steve. Rogers. Wow, who would've thought. I then fall asleep contemplating on if I should tell him or not.
