|Tony|

It has been three months since the whole Civil war issue with the other Avengers. After pulling a few strings I had managed to get Clint, Sam, Scott, Wanda, and Natasha out of the Raft and allowed them to stay at the Avengers tower or the compound under surveillance. 

Pepper seemed grateful about having two more girls to talk to and hang out with. Natasha and Wanda like hanging out with Pepper but always give me death glares do to what happened. I admitted that what I did was stupid and after some thinking and talking to Pepper I eventually agree that listening to Ross was completely stupid. Fury was chewing me out for my choice and for being the reason that split the team up in the first place.

Steve still hates me, Barnes is somewhere, and I have been chickening out on calling Steve to ask him if he would like to live with the others and I at the tower and the compound! Pepper keeps telling me that if I explain about what happened lately then our friendship could be salvageable but I can't. I doubt that I can fix it, people aren't machines or lines of codes that can easily fixed or rewritten. 

But lately I found that there were more heroes coming out like that Dr. Strange and Spider-man. I taken an interest in Spider-man with his ability to walk and crawl on walls, to his reflexes and that webbing that he uses! Like is it organic or did he make it??

"Hey F.R.I.D.A.Y, what's new with our Friendly neighbourhood Spider-man?" I asked.

"Spider-man has been last seen three days ago, but hasn't been seen since. Crime rates have been slowly rising after Spider-man's disappearance." the AI said.

I sat at my workbench in thought. Ever since I've started looking into the little wall crawler I started designing a new suit for him because that outfit that the small time hero wore was horrendous! Did he like fighting crime in his PJ's?

I let out a sigh before turning to see Bruce's workbench to see the last project that he was working on left abandoned after the whole Ultron fight. Lately I have been getting lonely in the lab and craving for some conversation about the project that I have been working on.

I let my mind drift off thinking about Spider-man to kids, a topic that came up more then once with Pepper and I. Thinking about Pepper and I having a kid, but with us so busy that we wouldn't have the time to raise a baby. Then the thought hit me a teen we could adopt a teen!

"F.R.I.D.A.Y where is Pepper?" I asked.

"Ms. Potts is in the lounge with Black Widow and Scarlet Witch." she replied.

"Thank you!" I said as I rushed out of the lab.

I jogged down the halls that led to the lounge before bursting in with a grin. The three women looked up from the table and turned to see me and tilted their heads a bit, but not without the two Russian females glaring at me that is.

"Tony is everything okay?" Pepper asked.

"Yeah I just need to talk to you about that thing that we talked about last week." I said, Pepper nodded before she turned to the two females and said that she will be back before leaving with me.

We walked to our room and sat on the bed.

"So what did you think of starting our own family?" I asked.

Pepper sighed before looking down a bit with a small frown before looking back at me.

"Tony we can't raise a child. You are busy with your inventions and with some of the Avengers to even raise a kid." Pepper said.

"That's the thing we can't raise a baby or a child but we can adopt a teen around 14 to 17 so we don't have to really worry about finding someone to babysit or the whole waking up during the night to crying or changing diapers. " I said.

Pepper was silent for a moment before a smile graced her lips as she thought it over. Pepper then nodded as tears slipped past her eyes.

"Ye-yes we can! Oh Tony!" Pepper said before tackling me in a hug.

I smiled and kissed Pepper on the forehead as I held her tightly in the hug. We parted and started our search for the closest Orphanage to adopt.

"So do we want a boy or a girl?" I asked.

"I think we should have a boy." Pepper said, smiling fondly. "I know that it would be nice to have a girl but I know you would like to teach our child all of your wonders of the science and technology and whatever else you do in your lab. So I think a teenage boy would be the best choice." Pepper finished.

I smiled and gave her a quick peck before we continued looking through lists of Orphanages.

It has been a week since me and Pepper decided to adopt a kid but we've been to three Orphanages in New York and there wasn't really a kid there that stood out to us. So Pepper and I are driving to Queens.

"Okay so there is only one here." Pepper said.

I looked at her Stark pad to see a picture of 'Miss. Sunny's home for orphans'. The building was a bit rundown but it held class to it like a place that you would see in a old movie(Look at the picture above to give you some sort of an idea).

"Let's hope that there is a kid there for us." I said.

|Peter|

It has been a week since Aunt May's death and I hate it here like I predicted. I stopped speaking on Saturday, James and Max are the only ones who worry while the younger kids avoid me do to me never smiling and are afraid of me because I stopped speaking.

James and Max are actually 17 turning 18 in a few weeks so I will be alone in this nightmare. We had grown to be good friends but some times they can't always be here for me. James works in a bakery after school and Max is working at a restaurant late on some nights. I was sitting on my bed working on my home work, both James and Max were here for another hour before they have to leave for work.

There was the sound of the front door opening followed by Miss. Sunny's high pitched fake happiness voice greeting the guests.

"I think that it is a family that came in." James said, as he flipped a page in his book that he was reading.

"Do you think they are looking for someone younger then us?" Max spoke up, as he typed away on his computer.

"Don't know maybe a bit older" I wrote on a piece of paper and handed it to Max and James.

Then we heard Miss. Sunny call us down. We all looked up and shrugged at each other before walking down the stairs to see the one person that we never dreamed of meeting. Tony Freaking Stark and his CEO Ms. Potts standing at his side. Max, James and  I all walked down the stairs with our jaws dropped a bit. 

"Let me know who you want to adopt!" Miss. Sunny said, with a great big fake smile on her face before walking to her office.

"Let's go to the kitchen and we can do a little get to know you Q'n A there." Max said, smiling lightly at the famous couple.

"Sure!" Mr. Stark said.

When we get into the Kitchen I go grab some drinks for everyone before sitting down next to Max and beside Ms. Potts, James was sitting next to Max and Mr. Stark.

"So what are your boys names and how old are you boys?" Ms. Potts asked.

"I'm Max Johnson and I am 17 turning 18." Max said.

"I'm James William and I am 17 turning 18 as well." James said before glancing at me.

"This is Peter Parker and he is 14 turning 15." Max said.

Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts looked at me with confusion before James spoke up.

"Peter arrived here a week ago and he knows how to talk but.... after a accident that happened he stopped talking. We've been trying to get Peter to talk again." James said.

I looked down and pulled out a few pieces of wires, a battery, and a robot arm that I started building and started to fiddle with it. I was in my own little world before I was snapped out of my world when Ms. Potts spoke up.

"That is a cool arm that your working on Peter." She said.

I looked up a bit and gave a brief nod.

"My I see kid?" Mr. Stark asked.

I froze before slowly bringing out the robot arm, James and Max smiled knowing that I was really good at building and making things that would make Miss. Sunny mad. Mr. Stark picked up the arm and turned it over and studied it carefully.

"How does it work?" He asked.

I nudged Max a bit for him st speak on my behalf.

"Peter is working on a robot that is a small version of your suit sir. It is really cool actually." Max said.

"Yeah! So far he built the legs and the torso. Right now you are looking at the first arm that he is working on." James chirped.

Mr. Stark and Ms. Potts looked at each other and smiled.

"Peter how would you like to be park of our family." Mr. Stark said, as he and Ms. Potts smiled.

I froze as James and Max grinned at me with joy. A smile and a tear appeared on my face, I was finally getting out of this horrendous place. I know that James and Max won't be here long so I won't feel guilty and Miss. Sunny likes them better then me.

I nodded and Ms. Potts smiled as well as James and Max jumped up and hugged me.

"Dude your getting out of here!" Max said.

"You better keep in contact with us and tell us everything!" James said.

"Tony and I will get the papers signed while you go pack your things Peter." Ms. Potts said before standing from her seat and Mr. Stark followed her to Miss. Sunny's office.

"Come on Pete! Let's get your things!" Max said, pulling me and James up to our room.

'I'm finally getting out!' I thought.
