With Peter

  The rooftops are usually really good places to sit and think, but they are definitely not good places to sit on while it's winter. Thank god I have that heater, otherwise I will be freezed right now. Karen didn't say anything about another robber, or any kind of krime, so I settled myself on the edge of one of the buildings that are nearby the Avengers Tower. My thoughts move from 'is it a good idea to go home only for a little to grab the food I get' to 'gosh I'm alone on Christmas...again'.

I didn't realise at first, but I was crying. Well not a full on crying, but my vision got blurred. I didn't have my parents, or uncle Ben, or the May that once loved me. It's all gone and I can't do anything about that. That thought shacked me even more and I take off my mask to wipe up my tears. I was lying, but I standed up and sit, my legs hung from the corner of the building, while my eyes landed on my hands. I closed my eyes, wondering... why me. Every family in that city, no in that earth is now together, but the strong Spiderman that people knew is standing on a edge of a building, crying, without his mask on.

I don't actually know what people think about me, but when Flash told everyone that he is Spiderman, people were just so...kind. I can't stop thinking about that little girl and her mother. She Is now probably waiting for tomorrow when 'Santa' will give her presents. The only presents I received for the last two years were from Ned and MJ. But hey, there are kids that are in so much worse a situation than me, so there is nothing to cry for...right?I looked up to the city and stared at the thousands of lights all over it.

Suddenly my Spidey sense tingle and I sensed someone stare at me. I didn't care so much, thinking it's just someone from the windows from the building in front of the one I'm standing on. The light up here is...well there isn't one, so I ignore all that thing. My eyes moved to my hands again and I wiped my tears.

With Tony

Natasha convinced me to surprise him, so we tried to be as quiet as we could. When we finally got to that rooftop we saw him. But he wasn't laying as we expected him to be. He was sitting on the edge of the building, looking at his hands. But that wasn't the most interesting part...he was holding his mask, which means he wasn't with his mask on. We couldn't see his face, but we saw his hair-super messy brown looking curly short hair. But that wasn't the most interesting part either. He looked...sad and...alone. We heard him sniff and he quickly moved his right hand to what seemed-wiping his tears.

I was feeling bad for that kid. I don't know what happened, or why he was alone the day before Christmas, but I felt really bad. Natasha on the other hand was looking at him the same way I was looking at him, probably the same thoughts. We exchanged looks, before deciding what to do.

With Peter

The stare didn't stop. Wow the grandma that is looking at me is very stubborn. I don't actually know if it's a grandpa or just some kid that saw me, but I don't really care.

"Hey kid-''My head shot up from my hands to the city, that fast that I think I broke my neck. I recognize that voice. I know who is standing behind me and it's probably not alone. I finally turned my attention to the two heartbeats that I ignored and realized that that behind me is Mr Stark, plus one other unidentified person. No one said anything for a good minute, before I realised that I was holding my mask. When I realised it I put It on as quickly as I could and turned around.

"Heyyyyy guyss. Whats up"I said, trying to make my voice happier. I even rested my hand on the railing of the building. I tried to smil, before realising that they can't see my miserable try.

"Spidey, what are you doing here?"Ms Natasha asked with a strange voice.

"Ohh you know, I am just. I was here and...I was on patrol... as usual and...*Ahem*...what are you doing here again?" When they didn't answer I sighed and sat back on my previous spot, looking back at my hands. I heard how they both slowly walked to me and sat on my both sides.

"Spidey what is going on?"Mr Stark asked me.

"Ohh you know... I just..."I stopped to try to find my words, still trying to sound happy. failing...but trying"I am on patrol"I finally looked at him, not daring to look at his eyes.

"You know that's a really lame excuse"Ms Natasha said from my other side. I smiled under my mask and looked back at my hands.

"I guess I just...don't...have anyone to celebrate with"I mumbled. I said that sentence quietly that I don't think they heard me, but they did.

There was an awkward pause where no one said anything. I was about to stand up and excuse myself, but Ms Natasha wrapped her arms around me and hugged me gently. I accept the hug and lay my head on her shoulder. I felt how Mr Stark did the same, but he hugged my back. That's actually better than just sitting by myself. I feel more warm from that hug than any other heater.

We stand like that for...well...no one knows what time, but when we finally broke the hug, we fell into a comfortable silence.

"You can talk to us If you want"Mr Stark said and smiled at me. I didn't want to bother them with all my problems, but when Ms Natasha gave me a hip bump with the words 'come on' I gave up. I pause a little to think what to say.

"I...don't have any family left"They froze at that"M-My parents are dead, my grandparents are dead, my uncle is dead and... m-my aunt doesn't give a shit about me anymore. I-I don't have so much friends either...or someone to talk to. The Christmas are...just...awful, or any other holiday at all...Also...bullies are a bad thing, a-and...yeah I have good grades at school, and ho-...a place to live... but...this is n-not a home. Well... It was, but then Ben died and I was left with that freak that I call my aunt, that gives me enough money only not to die from hunger, or to anyone noticed that she speaks to me only when it's absolutely necessary...S-She loved me once you know, she used to make me cookies when I feel sad, a-and Ben will read a night story before I fell asleep on both of them.....B-But now, when he is gone... I don't know what happened to her. It's just that...she has probably passed out right now at her apartment from drinking too much, not even knowing that i'm not in bed"I said all that between tears. I didn't care that I have a mental breakdown in front of my heros. I didn't care that I probably annoy them. I didn't care that they probably want nothing more than to just get out of here and go back to their families.

"Ohh kid"I noticed that Mr Stark stared at me the whole time. He embraced me into another hug, that I gladly accept. Ms Natasha let us have that moment and just stare at us sadly, while I tried not to cry. "We didn't know what you have been through"We sat there in a comfortable silence for what seemed like days, when I finally calmed down.

"Did she ever...hit you?"Ms Natasha asked from her seat. I want to tell them, but I know they won't just sit like that. I mean they are heros after all.

"No"I said shortly, but confidently. They nodded.

"Come on kid we can't make the others wait more"I nodded and they walked away, without even saying bye. Did I annoy them that much? I stare at them, before turning my eyes back to the city."Well are you coming"I turned around in surprise.

"What?"

"You though we will just leave you here, freezing and probably hungry as hell before Christmas?"I slowly nodded and they laughed."Come on kid the others are probably waiting for us"I didn't move.

"Spidey? Are you coming?"Ms Natasha also tried to get me on my feets.

"I-I don't want to bother you on Christmas-"

"Oh come on Natasha already told Pepper to make extra food for you when we saw you laying here alone"Ms Natasha nodded, but I still didn't move from the surprise. Mr Stark sighed and walked over to me, grabbing me carefully and starting flying up, but not before Ms Natasha got on his back.

"Ohh look this one isn't screaming"We both laughed and I pulled out of him. I caught him unprepared, so he flew down to catch me, but I shot a web and started swinging. "I forgot about that"I heard him saying and I chuckled to myself.

There was an open window and I saw how Mr Stark flew in it, so I did that too. When the other avengers saw me landing they cheered and I blushed.

"Finally, what took you so long"Mr Clint asked. I didn't know what to answer so I looked at Mr Stark and Ms Natasha. I think they catched what I'm trying to tell them, because they said a random excuse. 

"Hey kid what were you doing patrolling on a holiday?"

"Ohh you know...The crime now is high and all"I tried to come up with a believable excuse. I don't think that I succeeded, because Mr Steve looked at me weirdly. I just shrugged and turned around to greet the others.

I can't believe they were actually happy to see me. When I saw how Mrs Stark-Potts is struggling to move all of the food to the table I stood up from the couch and offered help, which she accepted. I helped with the dinner and after Mr Steve yelled that 'THE FOOD IS READY EVERYONE GET HERE' we sat on the table. I sat between Mr Stark and Mr Clint. For the first time for two years I actually laughed on a holiday and feel...good. The food was just...delicious and I made sure to compliment the cookers.

We joked and laughed and ate and messed up with Mr Steve and mocked Mr Stark and ate more. I tried to hide my previous mood, but I think Ms Natasha noticed that. She and Mr Stark were giving me a look from time to time, just to make sure...I don't know...that I'm ok? I'm not used to having a good relationship with people older than me. It was actually a really good feeling.

After around a full hour we were all full, but our plates were far away from full.

"So...A movie?''We quickly agreed to Mr Bruce's suggestion. I find myself on the couch, squished between Mr Stark and Mrs Potts-Stark. I have to say that it is really comfortable between them. We played classics like 'Home alone', then 'Grinch', then I didn't know what, because I felt how my eyes started being heavier and heavier. I decided to close them, just for a second, but I ended up sleeping on someone's shoulder.

With the Avengers

Pepper felt something on her shoulder, but when she looked at what it was she smiled. The sudden move grabbed the others attention. They were also sleepy, but when they turned their attention on Pepper and Spidey they 'awwed' at the same time. She made them a sign to keep quiet.

Around 10 minutes later they heard something weird. They turned their heads to where the sound came from and saw Sam getting scared from Bucky, who came into view with a blanket over him. He was definitely going to mock him about that later, but Pepper got scared from Sam, who was sitting next to her. She jumped a little, but to her and everyone's surprise didn't wake the sleeping Spider. He just moved from Pepper's shoulder to Tony's shoulder. Tony on his side of view also got scared from him, so he also jumped. Not that he wanted, but he didn't expect it. This time Spidey woke up, his head between the two of them.

"You guys are killing me"Natasha mumbled, but everyone heard her.

When Spidey finally understood what happened he stood up and apologized to Pepper and Tony. He yawned.

"Guys..."Another yawn"I think it's time to go home"Everyone started arguing with him. Tony even offered him to stay here that night, but he refused with the words 'I bother you too much. Anyways I'm going back home'. When Tony and Natasha heard that they also stood up and yelled at the same time 'NO'. Everyone looked at them weirdly, but they didn't care at this time.

"Guys, it's ok. Thats my home right? Nothing bad. Im everyday there"

"Yes but we can't let you go there"Everyone looked at Tony surprised and very confused.

"Yeah"Natasha also joined him.

"I'm sorry guys I have to"They stare at him for a few seconds. Nat and Tony looked at him with sympathy, but didn't dare saying anyhting else in front of the others "Bye guys...and thank you, It means a lot. Merry Christmas" Everyone said their Bye's and Merry Christmas's and returned to watch the movie, but suddenly Steve stopped it.

"What was all that?"

"Not in your business Rogers" Natasha answered. They all knew that they couldn't get anything from Nat, so they moved to Tony.

"Not a chance guys"he said and they sighed.

With Peter

The next day when I went on patrol I found a packet at the same place Ms Natasha, Mr Stark and I met last night. The packet was not that big, but it was wrapped with Christmas paper. There was also a big note on the center of what seemed like a present that said 'For Spidey, from the Avengers. Hope you like it kid'. My eyes widened. They got me a present? Like they literally got me a present. I quickly removed the paper and what I saw made so many emotions in me. Heppines won and I had to keep myself from jumping upside down. Then came the sadness, because...they made that for me and it's just so sentimental. A few tears came to my eyes.

It was a picture of all of us from yesterday, in front of the TV. Probably they got that picture from the cameras, but it was the greatest thing EVER. On the left couch was Mr Thor, who was asleep and got most of the couch. He was with his mouth opened. Next to him was Doc Banner sitting normally. On the ground in front of them was lying Mr Pietro, who had his legs on the coffee table. The next couch-the middle one was laying Mr Steve, who was just yawning, Ms Natasha, who actually watched the movie and Mr Bucky, who had a blancet all over him and popcorn on his lab. The photo catched him just when he tried to put handfull with popcorns in his mouth. The result was pretty hilarious. Ms Wanda sat on the ground, also with her legs on the coffee table like her brother. On the chair between the right and the middle couch was sitting Mr Clint, who sat really weirdly. Finally, on the left couch, which was the fullest of them all, sat Mr Stark, who sat with one of his legs on his other one. Next to him was me, resting my head on Mrs Potts-Stark shoulder. She was sitting normally, wrapped with a blanket. Next to her was Mr Sam. He was completely melted. He took up space for two, but that obviously didn't bother him or anyone else.

I stare at the framed picture for a really long time. I love that picture with all my heart. I can't place it on my bedside table, because May will ask questions and I can't risk losing something special like that. I didn't notice that there was another note. It was actually a little note from everyone in the picture.

Merry Christmas kid -TS

Just know that you are not alone- Nat

Hope you like the gift. It's nothing big, but it's from all of us-Steeb That was scratched and under it was written 'Steve Rogers'

I smiled even more, if that's possible. Probbally Mr Stark wrote that 'Steeb', because that's what he called him.

I have to say I look awesome in that photo. Merry Christmas- Arrow guy

Merry Christmas little mortal. That's our gift for you for this earth holiday-The strongest Avengers That was also scratched and under it i read the words 'Point Break'. Then with another handwriting, that I recognise as Ms Natasha's handwriting was written 'Thor'. I laughed at that as I imagined the situation.

Merry Christmas kid. good luck with the exams I heard you have-Hulk

Merry Christmas- B.B.

I have to say that I look the handsomest than everyone in that picture-Falcon

I look more handsome-B.B.

Merry Christmas Spidey. I hope you solved the whatever problem you had yesterday-Wanda

Merry Christmas, hope you like the gift- the bigger twin

Merry Christmas Spidey, please come again to the tower when you can-Pepper
