I LOVE this idea! Thankyou for the request <3 

///

It was last week when Peter had gotten word that everyone would have to join in with the Variety Show.

Even though he had quit band just over a year ago, Peter still had a couple of friends who he still talked to. And luckily, a certain someone in that group had an idea in their head to which Peter would be perfect for the job.

Peter was stood at his locker looking down at the flyer in his hand. The longer he looked at it, the more daunting it got.

But before he could shake his head, trying to get rid of the daunting thoughts, someone ran over to him

"Parker!"

Peter looked up to see one of the members in band running over to him.

"Hey Artie, what's up?" Peter asked as he opened up his locker

"Nothing much, just that I want you to sing for the show"

Peter slammed his locker in shock, "What?"

Artie laughed, "Oh don't give me that look, it was actually Jamie's idea"

Jamie was another member in band and was also his girlfriend.

"Listen, as much as I would love to-"

"Peter, everyone single person in the school has to do it, it's giving all of us extra credit and you're an amazing singer and can play guitar, please"

Peter sighed not knowing what to say.

Artie sighed, "Just meet me and Jamie in the music room after school, just hear us out"

Peter looked down at the flyer in his hand contemplating it, "Okay, fine but you owe me"

"Great! See you then"

Artie walked off leaving Peter be. 

As the day went on Peter's mind was running a million miles an hour, as much as he loved playing his guitar and sometimes singing, he'd never actually played for anyone. The only reason why Artie knew he could sing and play guitar is because he found Peter in the music room a day after school when he was looking for Jamie.

"What's up losers" MJ said as she sat down at their table

Ned looked towards her, "Peter's worrying about the show"

MJ smiled patting him on the back, "You'll do great, don't worry"

"You know, I think that's the nicest thing you've said to me" Peter told her

"Yeah, don't get use to it"

As Ned was flicking his food around his plate before eating it he asked Michelle a question.

"What are you doing for the show?"

"Nothing." She said not even looking up from her book, just turning the page.

Both Peter and Ned turned and spoke at the same time, "What!?"

Michelle looked up, "What? I've already took on extra credit classes, I get out of it, but don't worry, I'll be in the audience supporting you both, good luck"

By the time it got to the end of the day Peter met both Jamie and Artie in the music room where they talked over what they would be doing for the Variety Show. Peter was skeptical at first but then finally accepted it. Jamie told Peter not to worry and told him that he'd be completely fine.

Soon enough, Peter had his sheet music and lyrics and would have to practice when he got chance.

Once Peter got back to the compound after changing out of his suit and into everyday clothes, he made sure to hide the sheet music and lyrics. Especially from his family.

A couple of months ago even though Tony had asked him before, both Fury and Steve had come to him asking for him to join the team. Everything with the accords had got smoothed out and now Tony and Steve had made amends.

As much as he loved his chosen family, he didn't exactly tell them everything. Including this show. He didn't want them turning up because for one; they were The Avengers, everyone knew them, and two, he'd feel embarrassed since none of them knew he could sing or play guitar. 

He wouldn't have to tell May since school had already called all parents on their contacts. Peter could trust May and she'd know that Peter wouldn't want her to tell Tony or anyone else. He was able to trust her.

Peter had moved into the compound a while ago, and everyone had their own levels. Tony's doing. 

Peter was getting changed into a fresh pair of clothing since he had just got out of the shower and was currently brushing his teeth.

"Pete? You in here?" Natasha's voice rang through his room

"I'm in the bathroom!" He shouted

"Oh," She walked over to the door, but not opening it, "Steve's finished dinner, he was asking, do you want cheese on your pasta?"

"Erh, sure, I'll be down in a moment"

"Okay, see you in a minute"

As she walked through his room and left, Peter finished brushing his teeth and washed the toothpaste from around his mouth. 

However what he hadn't known was that when Natasha was leaving his room, she had noticed something on his desk.

Lyrics and a music sheet.

She looked back to his bathroom door making sure he wouldn't open it, she quickly took a couple of photos of both sheets before leaving. 

Smiling to herself, she made her way down. She didn't mention it to any of the others, not yet anyway. Peter didn't know any different and wouldn't until performing night.

A couple of days before Performing Night, Natasha had been at May's while Peter was out patrolling. 

"Oh, Hi Natasha, what can I do for you?" May asked as she opened up the door

"I was wondering, do you know anything about the Performance Peter has at his school?" She smiled

"I may do, why?"

"Because I want to surprise Peter by going, I found his music sheets on his desk"

"He still hasn't told you?" 

She shook her head in response.

May invited her in and gave her the date and time, even though she knew Peter would hate them knowing, she knew that her nephew, deep down, would want them to come. Even if he didn't know it himself.

"Just, don't tell him I told you"

"Don't worry, thankyou again"

"My pleasure" May smiled

"I guess I'll see you opening night"

"Oh, just make sure not to go as...you, Peter and everyone else would know you all a mile off"

Nat smiled, "Don't worry, I have a plan"

Natasha left before anyone would spot her and before Peter would miss her at the compound and possibly suspect something.

It was now the day of the Variety Show and Peter was freaking out. He'd been freaking out all week, nevermind just now. 

"Pete, you'll be fine." Jamie encouraged.

Peter had his guitar hanging from the strap on his shoulder.

"I-I know. Oh god, why did I say yes?"

"Because your a good friend, just enjoy it" Jamie smiled, "Come on, your up next."

Peter lifted the strap over his head, allowing his acoustic guitar to hang infront of him. They had a couple other members from band helping them out on extra guitar and drums, but mainly Peter would be the one playing guitar.

Everyone's parents were in the audience. It didn't feel like extra credit, it felt more like an audition infront of everyone, a bit like BGT or X Factor.

Both Peter and Artie were doing a cover of Billionaire by Travis McCoy and Bruno Mars

"You'll be fine, just go to your happy place" Artie told him

"Happy place?" Peter asked with furrowed eyebrows

"I don't know, my mum said it to my sister one time"

Peter shook his head with a small laugh, calming down his nerves, they opened the curtain back up once more. Everyone was clapping before settling down, Peter took in a breath before strumming at his guitar before singing.

I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
Buy all of the things I never had
I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smilin' next to Oprah and the Queen

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Yeah, a different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare for when I'm a billionaire

Yeah I would have a show like Oprah
I would be the host of, everyday Christmas
Give Artie a wish list
I'd probably pull an Angelina and Brad Pitt
And adopt a bunch of babies that ain't never had it
Give away a few Mercedes like here lady have this
And last but not least grant somebody their last wish
It's been a couple months that I've been single so
You can call me Artie Claus minus the Ho Ho
Get it, hehe, I'd probably visit where Katrina hit
And damn sure do a lot more than FEMA did
Yeah can't forget about me stupid
Everywhere I go I'ma have my own theme music

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
A different city every night oh I
I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire

Oh ooh oh ooh for when I'm a billionaire

Oh ooh oh ooh for when I'm a billionaire

I'll be playing basketball with the President
Dunking on his delegates
Then I'll compliment him on his political etiquette
Toss a couple milli in the air just for the heck of it
But keep the fives, twentys, tens and bens completely separate
And yeah I'll be in a whole new tax bracket
We in recession but let me take a crack at it
I'll probably take whatevers left and just split it up
So everybody that I love can have a couple bucks
And not a single tummy around me would know what hungry was
Eating good sleeping soundly
I know we all have a similar dream
Go in your pocket pull out your wallet
And put it in the air and sing

I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad
So bad

Buy all of the things I never had

Buy everything, haha

I wanna be on the cover of Forbes magazine
Smiling next to Oprah and the Queen

What up, Oprah? AHA

Oh, everytime I close my eyes.

What you see? What You see, Bro?

Oh every time I close my eyes
I see my name in shining lights
Yeah a different city every night oh
I swear the world better prepare
For when I'm a billionaire

Oh ooh oh ooh for when I'm a billionaire
Oh ooh oh ooh for when I'm a billionaire

I wanna be a billionaire so freakin' bad

As Peter closed the song everyone stood either clapping or cheering.

The curtain drew once again, all of Peter's nerves had disappeared and he was smiling.

"That was amazing!" Jamie cheered as they got off the stage and heading backstage

"Thanks" The pair said, she kissed her boyfriend before hugging Peter

"You ever though of taking that as your career?" She asked him

"I think I'll keep it just as a hobby for now" Peter smiled

Both Ned and MJ came from around the corner, along with May

"Your good loser" Michelle smiled

"Thanks" He smiled

Both him and Ned did their handshake before Ned spoke, "Dude! That was so cool!"

"Thanks"

Peter pushed his guitar round to his back, May moving in to hug him.

"That was amazing! I'm so proud of you"

As they departed their hug, they all stayed backstage for a while longer, just talking.

As it got to around 8pm, the Principle came out and thanked everyone for coming and talked about how everyone was amazing and they would be getting alot of extra credit that would go towards collage.

Around half an hour later, Peter was walking out with May, he'd said goodbye to Ned and MJ aswell as Artie and Jamie. However as both him and May walked down the path, there was a couple of cars parked just down the road which could just about be seen from school.

As Peter got closer he saw they people who were stood around those same cars, this also caused Peter to stop in his tracks

"Oh crap" Peter said out loud as he saw them and that was when they saw him...and heard him

"Oh crap indeed" Natasha smiled before standing up straight

Peter walked slightly closer, he hadn't seen them in the audience, so how the hell did they get in without being seen. Had they even seen his performance? How long had they know? Did they know?

"Didn't know you could sing" Sam smirked

"Very funny. How - ?"

"Did you really think we wouldn't find out? Peter, I'm a high class spy, you can't hide anything from me" Natasha told him

"Okay fine, but how did you get in without being unnoticed?" Peter asked them

Natasha smirked, "Again, I'm a spy. I know how to hide in plain sight"

"Kid, why didn't you tell us?" Tony asked him

Peter sighed, "I don't know, maybe because I was already bricking it enough. And, it's embarrassing."

Both Steve and Tony gave a confused look, "Why would it be embarrassing?"

Peter shrugged, "I don't know, it just would be."

"Look, all we're saying, is next time you have a show on at school, or your performing, just tell us." Clint told him, "We'll want to see it"

Peter gave a sigh but smiled, "Okay, just...don't come as yourselves"

"Why not?" Steve asked

"Because I don't need interrogating at school asking why I know the face of America, A Russian Spy, A billionaire philanthropist, Actual Big Bird, Katniss, A Solider Princess and Oscar the Grouch"

"How come I get Big Bird, I ain't yellow" Sam spoke out

"No but you were" Peter smirked thinking back on the time Clint had roped Peter into pranking Sam by dumping yellow pain all over him. As well as dropping a couple of the same colored feathers on him.

"I will get you back for that" Sam pointed 

Peter and Clint looked at one another before giving a small laugh turning back to Sam, "No you won't"

"Right come on you lot, you too Big Bird" Steve said walking towards the driver car door, "We've got to get back to the compound"

"Ooh, I hate you" Sam scorned

"Whatever you say, Big Bird" Steve smirked before getting into the car

Sam turned to Bucky, "That's not going away anytime soon, is it?"

"Nope, sorry Big Bird" Bucky smiled giving him a pat on the back.

Peter said he'd meet them at the compound the next day since he was going home with May, however before Peter got into May's car which was parked across the road he heard Bucky speak

"Did her seriously call me a Solider Princess?"

"Yep!" Peter shouted with a smile before getting into May's car

Bucky turned to Sam, "Your gonna start calling me that, aren't you?"

"Stop calling me Big Bird?" Sam bargained

Bucky smiled with a small laugh, "Never... Big Bird"
