🎶Spider-pig, Spider-pig,  does whatever a Spider-pig does!🎶🎶

Helloooo! Guess who's back! So this was all Royalty_Girl_ 's idea (sorry for the wait) and I absolutely loved it. I've been working on it for a while so I hope it's not 100% terrible.

Enjoy...

<><><><><><><><><><><><><><>

It all started on Peter's 16th birthday when Clint Barton walked in to the penthouse with a cardboard box in hand, a blanket covering the top.

"Happy birthday Pete!" He exclaims, trying his best to hold on to the box. "I have a present for you!"

"What is it?!" The trend asks, jumping off the couch and sprinting toward the archer.

"I swear Clint if you got my kid a puppy I might just throw you out a window. I already told him no." Tony says, a serious look on his face.

"Relax Tony. I didn't get the kid a puppy. I got him a-"

"A PIG!!" Peter shouts, excitement in his voice. Everyone turns to Peter to find Peter lifting the small animal from the box. "It's so cute! What's her name?"

"You can name her whatever you want. She's yours."

"Really?! I'm gonna name her Kumo!"

"Kumo?" Sam asks from his seat on the couch.

"Yeah it's Japanese."

"When did you learn Japanese?"

"There's this awesome thing called Anime. Gosh Dad, get with the times."

"Barton, why would you buy my kid a pig?" Tony asks, ignoring Peter's statement.

"Because you said he couldn't have a dog. And she's a teacup pig, so she won't get very big. And pigs are actually really smart. "

"Well I'm not sure this is such a good idea..." Pepper adds in. Peter gently puts the pig back in the box before turning to his parents.

"Please mom? Dad? Let me keep her." Peter asks, his big brown doe eyes pleading. Of course no one can say no to Peter.

"I guess you can keep her. But you Have to take care of her." Tony answers.

"Yes! Thank you thank you thank you!" Peter shouts, pulling his dad into a hug before doing the same to his mother. "You're the best parents ever!"

"Yeah yeah. Now go take care of your pig." Peter just gives a childish smile before running back to his new friend.

-----------------------------

Over the following weeks the entire team falls in love with a certain pet. It started when Tony entered the common room to find Clint and Peter sitting on the couch watching a movie and eating popcorn, Kumo sitting between them.

"What's going on and why is the pig on my couch?" Tony asks.

"Kumo is watching Star Wars with us." Peter replies before shoving more popcorn into his mouth.

"Okay, well why is Kumo on my couch?"

"Because she doesn't like the floor." Clint replies.

"Yeah Dad. She wanted to sit with us. Now shush, this is her favorite part." Tony just gives a sigh before retiring to his lab to work on his latest project.

The next instance is when the billionaire found Peter and Natasha in the kitchen cooking dinner, and a tiny little pig sitting in a chair near the table.

"What-?"

"Don't question it Stark. Just go with it." Tony says no more, and simply moves on to the next room.

<><><><><><><>

Tony was sitting in his lab a few days later when Peter came bounding in, Kumo right on his heels.

"Pete, I don't think it's a good idea to bring her into the lab..."

"She won't be in the way. Please dad?" Tony gives a sigh before nodding and moving back to his project. It's about 45 minutes later when Tony reaches into his toolbox, only to find his screwdriver missing.

"Peter, have you seen my-" Tony doesn't get to finish before a certain pet moves up next him, dropping the screwdriver at his feet.

"What?" Peter asks from under the car he's been working on.

"Nothing..." Is Tony's distracted reply as he picks up the screw driver. Maybe this pig wasn't so bad after all...

******

"Peter! Tony!" Peper calls throughout the penthouse but getting no reply. She's been looking for them for the past thirty minutes, hoping they hadn't been holed away in the lab all day.

With a sigh, she makes her way down to their lab. As she opens the glass doors she thinks of all the things she'll say to the two. Telling the that they need to eat and maybe get some fresh air instead of being surrounded by car parts and the smell of oil and smoke from projects gone wrong.

When she steps inside, she's not surprised to find the two of them working. She is surprised however to see Kumo working just as hard, carrying tools back and forth and occasionally stopping to sit and keep Dum-E company near one of the work tables.

"What's going on?" Pepper asks.

"Oh, Kumo is our new lab partner." Peter says as he turns to Pepper.  She can't help but smile at his childish smile and the grease spots on his face.

"Oh really? And Tony, you approve of this?" She asks, already knowing his answer. The billionaire looks her, and with no hesitation in his voice, says:

"Absolutely. Kumo is essential to our work."

"Really?"

"Really."

"And what does Kumo do?"

"She brings us our tools and keeps Dum-E company and we even taught her how to change the music." Peter replies excitedly. As if commanded to do so, the pig trots over to the stereo that sits on the floor a few feet away before using it's little snout to press the buttons. Seconds later, the song changes.

"Very impressive. Well have you boys had anything to eat today or have you been down here the entire time?"

"We had pizza." Tony replies. Before Pepper can give a response, FRIDAY'S voice interrupts the music and rings throughout the room.

"Boss? It appears you have a visitor."

"Who is it FRIDAY?" Tony replies.

"Director Fury. Nicholas J."

"We'll be right up." Pepper says. She looks to the two, who are covered in grease and dirt. "Both of you get cleaned up. You're not talking to Fury looking like that." She turns to leave and the boys do the same, Kumo falling in dutifully behind them...

___________

Fifteen minutes later Pepper, Tony,  Peter, Fury, and Kumo a sit in the common room. The three adults are sitting on the couch while Peter lies in the floor, playing with Kumo.

"So... who's this?" Fury asks.

"This is Kumo. She's my pet pig." Peter replies.

"I used to have a pet... saved my life more than once."

"Really?" Tony asks.

"Yeah, a cat. It's name was goose." Fury just sits in silence for another minute before speaking. "Stark, I came for updates on the team but I think I have a better idea."

"Hmm?" Tony asks,  distracted by the adorable sight of Peter and the tiny teacup pig.

"How smart is that pig?"

"Pretty smart. She seems to know what bacon is." Tony says.

"What?"

"Kumo saw Clint eating bacon the other day. She took off and hid in Peter's room for the rest of the day. Much to his disappointment, she still won't be around Clint. " Tony says, smiling at the memory.

"Well I want to train it." Fury states simply.

"What?"

"I want to train this pig. She could be helpful in certain situations. Almost like a police dog, but a pig. I've heard pigs are smarter than dogs: let's test that theory. "

"That's so awesome!" Peter shouts. "MY PIG IS GONNA BE AN AVENGER!!"
