Watching Homecoming Part 1



It was supposed to be a peaceful, normal day. Peter had come to the Tower after school, and Tony and him were working on the Spider-Man suit, when suddenly, everything went black.


...


Peter woke up in an unfamiliar room. It looked like a theater. He turned his head and saw Tony, still unconscious, beside him. 


"Mr Stark," he shook his mentor, "Wake up."


The man slowly opened his eyes and groaned.


"What happened ? Are you alright ?" he looked around him, lost.


"I'm okay, but I don't know where we are-"


As he was finishing his sentence, they heard a loud thud and immediately snapped their heads toward it. There, were the Avengers. Peter saw Tony slightly pale from the corner of his eye. He knew the man hadn't spoken to them since the civil war, and they hadn't ended things on a very good note. However, the man quickly put on a neutral face when the team spotted them.


"Hey Tony", Steve said awkwardly.


"Rogers." He just nodded.


"Did you do this ?"


"No, I have no idea what's going on."


"Why's there a kid here ?" Sam asked, pointing to Peter.


"This is Peter, my intern." The boy blushed and waved.


It seemed like Steve was about to say something, but they heard another thud. And this time, Peter was the one to pale.


"Kid, isn't this your school ?" Tony asked and he just nodded, mortified.


The students woke up one by one, and started panicking shortly after. Some because they didn't know where they were, others because they spotted the Avengers.


"Oh my God, the Avengers !"


"What are we doing here ?"


"Is that Parker over there ?" Peter sighed at Flash's voice. This was going to be fun. Note the sarcasm.


"Alright", a voice came out of the speakers, making everyone jump, "Now that everybody's here, we can start. Please take a seat."


"Who's that ?" Tony frowned, "Why are we here ?" he said louder.


"You are all here to watch a movie."


"Why are there children here ?" Steve asked.


"You'll see."


The lights went out and the room went quiet. The screen was black but words were written on it.


'a Film by Peter Parker.'


Peter's eyes widened. "Oh no." he whispered.


"Peter Parker ? Is that you ?" Natasha asked, looking at him. He nodded and she smirked. She was onto something.


"What does Parker have to do with this ?" Flash shouted from the back on the room.


"New York. Queens. It's a rough borough, but hey, it's home." Some people laughed at his voice.


"Who you talking to ?" Happy asked.


"No one. Just making a little video of the trip."


"You know you can't show it to anyone."


"Yeah, I know."


"Then why are you narrating in that voice ?"


"Um... Because it's fun." Tony chuckled and ruffled Peter's hair.


"Fun."


"So, uh... why do they call you Happy ?"


The bodyguard pushed a button and a window went up, showing Peter's reflection. The camera switched to another scene. They were in airport.


"Woah ! Is that a Stark plane ?" A student asked and Tony smirked.


Peter and Happy got in the plane, and the next 60 seconds consisted of Peter fanboying over the plane and unintentionally annoying Happy. Everyone laughed at his cuteness but the boy was just looking at the screen in horror. He knew what was coming next. 


Peter was talking to the camera while walking through an airport.


"No one has actually told me why I'm in Berlin, what I'm doing here. Something about Captain America going crazy." Steve frowned in confusion and Tony looked at Peter, finally realizing what the video was about.


He was now in a hotel.


"Kid, this is you."


"Are we- Oh we're neighbors ?!" 


"We're not roommates. Suit up."


"What does he mean by 'suit up' ?" Clint asked. Steve was starting to put the piece together and Natasha had already figured it out. The rest of the room was clueless.


After a few clips of Peter fanboying over the hotel room, he turned the camera to his face.


"Come on !" Happy yelled.


"Um, I guess it's time to uh, go and fight the bad guys."


"Fight ?" Some students said in confusion.


The next shot was Peter filming himself in the mirror, his old suit on.


"Okay Peter, you got this, you got this."


"You're Spider-Man ?!" Everyone in the room shouted, except Thor and Bruce. The two didn't know what was going on at all. The boy groaned and put his hands on his face.


"Tony, you let a kid fight ?" Steve gave him the eyebrows of disappointment.


"I'm 16 !"


"What the hell are you wearing ?" The camera turned to Happy.


"It's my suit."


"Where's the case ?"


"What case ?" The bodyguard opened a door.


"That's not my- What ? I thought it was a closet. This is still my room ? Oh I found the case, I found the case."


On the case was a note. 'A minor upgrade -TS'. Peter opened it and there, was his current suit.


"Woah ! Oh my God." he sounded like he was about to faint.


"Put it on."


"B-But I-I, this is the coolest thing I've ever seen-."


"Let's go !"


"But- yeah, but why- I don't understand, uh, is it for me ? Happy ! Happy, wait !"


Peter kept fanboying over the suit and Tony smiled fondly at his reaction.


"If you liked that, just wait for the new one." 


Peter looked at his mentor with wide eyes.


"What ?! There's a new one ? What does it do ? Is it-"


"It's a surprise. For your birthday."


"B-But that's like, in a long time !"


Tony just chuckled and ruffled his hair. The Avengers watched the conversation, surprised by the soft side of the man.


In the next clip, Peter was hiding behind something, as he filmed the Avengers in the airport.


"Okay, there's Iron-Man, Captain America, Black Widow- Woah, who's that new guy ?"


"Underoos !" Tony shouted.


"Oh that's me ! I gotta go !" he put the camera down and jumped, attaching a web to Captain America's shield.


"Dude ! You really stole his shield !" Ned said excitedly.


The next shot was in the middle of the battle.


"Okay, so the craziest thing just happened, I got in a fight with Captain America and I stole his shield and I threw it at him, and I-"


He stopped his sentence when Ant-Man grew big, grabbing War Machine.


"Oh he's big now, I gotta go." He put the camera down again, towards the sky and disappeared. Not for long, because he was thrown across the airport a few seconds later.


"That must've hurt." A student said.


"Sorry." Scott turned to Peter apologetically.


"It's okay. That was fun." A few people laughed at this, Tony just shook his head, desperate.


Peter was back in the hotel room, completely freaking out about what just happened.


"It was the most amazing thing that's ever happened! So Mr. Stark was like, "Hey, Underoos!" and I just sort of flipped in and I stole Cap's shield. I was like, "Hey, what's up, everybody?" And then-"


There was a knock on the door. Peter backflipped over the bed and Happy came in.


"Woah. That was so cool." A few classmates said.


"We have thin walls here." 


Tony laughed and made a mental note to give Happy a raise.


The camera was filming Tony in the car. They did an alibi video for May and arrived in front of Peter's building. Tony asked Happy to leave and the two had a little conversation.


"Don't do anything I would do, and definitely don't do anything I wouldn't do. There's a little gray area in there. That's where you operate." 


"Nice advice." Rhodey said. Tony just stuck his tongue out.


"Wait does that mean I'm an Avenger ?"


"No."


"Way to crush my dream." Peter mumbled. 


Tony ruffled his hair. "Someday kid, someday."


Happy knocked on the window and Peter told him he could leave the suitcase to him. He asked Tony when the next mission would be and the man said they would call him. He then leaned in and Peter, confused, wrapped his arms around him.


"That's not a hug, I'm just grabbing the door for you. We're not there yet."


Everyone laughed and Peter became red. "Ouch."


"Actually, it was supposed to be a hug but I changed my mind in the middle of it. Thought you'd find it weird."


They kept watching the movie and Peter was now at school. The science teacher interrogated him while he was watching Spider-Man videos, he threw a glance at the whiteboard and immediately got the answer right. Tony looked like a proud dad and even Bruce was impressed. The scene cut and this time, he was in biology class. Peter was still not listening to the teacher, he was instead making web fluid in his drawer.


"You came up with that formula ?" Bruce asked and Peter nodded, starstruck.


"How come we've never noticed that ?" A student said, "That's like, not discreet at all."


"Peter, I know you're a genius and all that but pay attention in class." Tony scolded him.


"Whatever, dad." Even though his tone was dripping with sarcasm, the man couldn't help but smile at the word.


The day went on, and Peter finally got out of school. He jumped over the fence, earning a few 'Wow' and got a sandwich at Delmar's. He then ran to an empty alley and took off his clothes.


"Woah, he's hot."


"Oh my God."


"Dude, you're ripped."


Peter blushed and hid his face in his hands.


He quickly put his suit on and went on patrol. He helped a few people, did a flip and got yelled at by old people, but nothing really interesting. He just got off the phone when he spotted a robbery at the bank. He went in, without being noticed and tried to do a casual pose. 


"What's up guys, you forgot your PIN numbers ?"


The robbers all turned their heads toward him. They were wearing Avengers masks. At this, the team snickered. 


"Woah ! You're the Avengers ! What are you guys doing here ?" 


They started fighting.


"Thor. Hulk. Good to finally meet you guys. I thought you'd be more handsome in person." 


"Seriously, kid, you talk way too much when you're fighting." Sam said and Bucky nodded in agreement.


"Iron Man. What are you doing robbing a bank ? You're a billionaire."


Fake Captain America grabbed a weird weapon that made Peter's voice funny and shook him up and down.


"I'm starting. To think. You're not. The Avengers." Everyone couldn't help but laugh.


Spider-Man knocked out Fake Captain America and webbed Fake Iron Man when Fake Hulk grab another strange weapon and shot at Peter. He dodged in time but the shot went across the street and hit Delmar's. The hero rushed there, saving the owner of the shop and his cat. When he came back, the robbers vanished.


"You did the right thing kid."


Peter went back home, sneaking through his window and walking on the ceiling. He took off his mask and closed the door in silence. He then turned around to find Ned, on his bed. The boy dropped the LEGO death star in shock and got up.


"That's how Ned found out ?" Tony was laughing.


"That was the best day of my life dude !"


"You're the Spider-Man. From Youtube."


Peter took off his suit, panicking. He denied, until he realized there was no point. He then convinced Ned to keep the secret and made him leave.
