"Who was that?"

Peter turned to Ned, sliding his phone into his pocket after ending the call. "Prank buddy."

"You have friends other than us?" MJ asked, doodling as she walked.

"Yes. Impossible, I know."

"I never knew you were capable of such sass," MJ teased back as they approached the part of the street where they'd head off in different directions. They always walked home from school and part of the route overlapped, so they'd walk together. "See you tomorrow, dorks."

"Bye!" Peter called, racing home.

This would be fun.

Peter was sitting in the vents of Stark Tower. I know what you're thinking, why the vents? Of what??? How did he get in?????

Well, I think that some of you might know the answer, but for those of you who don't, he was waiting for his Uncle so they could start the prank.

His Uncle was Clint Barton, master archer. While Clint wasn't biologically nor legally his Uncle, he was mentally and that was enough for Peter. He couldn't recall exactly when he'd met Clint, but they'd been pranking together since, well, since forever.

A creak in the vents alerted Peter to Clint's presence and he turned to face the archer. This was a small alcove prepared specifically for the vent-crawler and was big enough for a few people to sit comfortably. "Hey Pete. Wassup?"

"Not much. You ready?"

"Of course! Remember the plan?"

Peter nodded at Clint. "Show up every once in a while, move stuff around, let people see glimpses of me, then disappear. Make them think this place is haunted."

"Bingo! Good luck!"

"Thanks, though I won't be needing it," Peter said, "Now, to freak the hell out of the Avengers..."

The first time he didn't do much. He re-arranged the cereal in the cupboards and swapped the plates and bowls.

The second time he moved all the furniture in the living room slightly to the left. When someone came through the room he gave them a glimpse of him passing through the doorway, jumping into the vents right after.

Whenever he showed up he hacked FRIDAY and removed himself from all the video cameras and made sure he wasn't listed as 'suspicious'. In return, he would bring Karen over so that FRIDAY had a friend. AIs can apparently get lonely if left on their own.

After a month or so Peter overheard the Avengers talking. The prank was successful and so now it was time for the grand finale.

Clint had gathered everyone for a movie night and Peter was hiding in the vents. They were watching The Lion King, a good choice in Peter's opinion.

"Hey," Steve said, looking to the others, "You know the tower ghost?" The others nodded and Steve continued. "Why do you think they're here? Has anyone died in the tower?"

Tony nodded. "A couple people. With this many people in and out it's inevitable."

"But why haunt the tower then? Specifically our floors, and why show up now? No one's died up here recently, have they?"

Tony was about to respond when a shriek echoed through the room.

"Bucky!? Whats wrong!??" Steve asked.

Bucky was silent, shakily pointing at something on the celling.

Peter dropped to the floor in a yellowed sheet, hissing and spitting like a rabid animal, hungry for prey after having not eaten in months.

Everyone else screeched, Nat preparing to fight. Then Clint burst out laughing and Peter joined him.

"This is my prank buddy," Clint explained, "go on Arachnikid, introduce yourself."

"Name's Peter," he said, pulling, "And I'm batman."

Ayoooo! How are ya'll?

Anyway, not much to say I guess. Fun to write but I wasn't fully motivated. Maybe I'll re-write it at some point.

Have a nice day!
