Roomies (Tony)

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter nodded.

"Peter Stark. Unless I can hyphenate the names. Peter Parker-Stark siounds good as well." said Peter.

Peter grinned.

"Thank you for looking. Maybe it's a long shot but I want to at least try looking for her mother as well as any other friends or families of ours. We should consider bringing survivor here. Or at least try to make a safehouse or camp for people to be safe at." said Peter.

Peter nodded again and sighed.

"I guess I can't expect everyone to want to help. They're hurt, scared, or driven mad with the chaos. Plus the chances of one of them being a spy of Loki's could be trouble." said Peter.

Peter chuckled as Tony said he wasn't old.

"That's debatable." teaed Peter.

He paused as Tony said he had plenty of years and Tony sighed.

"But there's no guarantee on anything anymore Tony. Everyone thought they had time to have kids and follow their dreams. So many are now dead, enslaved, injured, or just hiding. For your sake, I hope Pepper's alright but we don't know how long this war will take. What if it continues with our kids and grandkids fighting this war? Loki's immortal and we are not."said Peter.

Peter shrugged at it.

"I know. We know very little about it but it has saved my life and healed my injuries. I suppose it could have left me to find a new host but for all I know maybe it can't leave unless I'm dead." saidPeter.

Peter sighed.

"I don't know. Perhaps we can try again maybe we can cut some of it off and you could analyze it. If you need help then tell Bruce but no one else. He's your friend and if you trust him to keep quiet then so will I." said Peter.

Peter grinned.

"Perhaps I am. But he saved my life. The least I can do is make sure it survives." said Peter.

Peter looked shocked as Tony objected to him wanting to go as Tony said Peter was his responsiblity and he was staying right there. Peter grinned in spite of himself.

"You sounded like a dad right there. I'll do it your way."said Peter.

He nodded as he agreed to ask Frigga.

"Yes. Only Frigga and Bruce should know if we tell anyone else. The less people who know the better." said Peter.

Tony Stark(Iron Man)

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

"Hey. Either one can actually work I think. Not bad, kid. Not bad at all" Tony said with a prideful smile. Peter was slowly becoming like a son he didn't have yet. Pepper would of course accept Peter but would also begin wanting kids thanks to this teenager. The thought made Tony smile more. "Definitely working on a safehouse for any survivors. We have a lot of people to find and not just M.J's mom. Ben's still trying to look for his friends and..." He sighed "I'm still trying to look for Pepper"

"We're especially careful thanks to the possibilities of spies in this damn place" Tony said, admittedly touchy about spies to begin with thanks to being betrayed before. He then smirked, having a playful tone as Peter teased about his age "Hey watch it parker. I'm still young enough to kick plenty of ass"

Tony then listened as Peter made a good point that time wasn't necessarily on their side entirely. Sure pepper and he could get married and have kids but at what cost? This war made the world a very different place. Not ideal for raising kids. Sure he and Pepper would probably still want to for fear of getting too old but it would come at bad prices. If this war didn't stop that is. "You're not wrong parker but I know things will change and you know why? Because we have people passionate enough and strong enough. We may need more forces but the ones we have are still very powerful. We may die but not without a fight"

"This is why I don't trust this thing Parker. For all we know it could be hurting you as well as helping you. What if it changes you more than you want it to?" Tony replied, obviously suspicious and anxious. He smiled in relief as Peter agreed that it was best to analyze it but carefully. He was even happier when Peter suggested Bruce to help "Bruce can practically hear a nuclear bomb and he'd be silent if I asked him too. Bruce is completely trustworthy. He'll help find out about this thing with me"

"I still think this is bad but I'll trust your compassion, Parker" Tony replied, but he was smiling as he said this. He DID enjoy Peter being very compassionate. It was somewhat rash but many people looked out for themselves, it was nice to see someone have kindness for something. Even IF it was a parasite. He chuckled as Peter commented he sounded more and more like his parent, Tony thought so too "Don't get any ideas on calling me 'old man'" He laughed softly

"Bruce and Frigga only know besides us. Got it" Tony gave a sarcastic thumbs up. He really didn't like this. He thought it was endangering Peter to risk his health but he certainly didn't want Coulson, Steve and especially Natasha to worry about peter and even try to imprison him.

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

(ooc: maybe we could add mj into this thread. at least for awhile. she needs to find out about aunt may and easier to use this thread. then start another one.)

Peter grinned.

"I'm glad you approve." said Peter.

Peter paused if thinking.

"What about an old warehouse or a store? If any of them are still around it could be cleaned up and fit a lot more people. With the right tech we could even put forcefields around them or something. After all Loki and his goons may want to start kidnapping survivors to use them as slaves or something. They probably already have." said Peter.

Peter nodded.

"We'll find them all especially Pepper. From what I've read about her she seems pretty smart and resilient. She's not going to go down easily. I'm sure you two will be back together before you know it." said Peter.

He nodded.

"Maybe you could have JARVIS at least scan for any technology so people can't use it to relay information to Loki's army. Or record anything. If JARVIS finds any tech you could quietly question them to make sure they're on the level. It may not completely work but may cut down on the spies." said Peter.

He grinned at him.

"Of course you are. Then again I'm sure having a metal suit with weapons helps that out." said Peter.

Peter nodded.

"You're right. I'm not giving up but there's no guarantee we'd win. We have to prepare for the survival of the human race. Just in case we fail to sto Loki. I wouldn't want my kids or grandkids or even great grand kids to be fighting Loki to earn their freedom but I wouldn't stop them from fighting. It probably wouldn't do me any good. With me as their dad and you as their grandfather they'll bound to be super heroes in the making. Just like your kids." said Peter.

Peter sighed.

"I know. We don't know anything about it. Maybe it can change things." said Peter.

Peter then was now nervous.

"What if it's trying to control me now just to keep itself alive? How do I know what's me and what's the creature?" asked Peter, trying not to panic.

Peter chuckled.

"I'm glad. I don't like keeping this a secret from anyone. And if it becomes a threat I know you'll have no choice but to lock me up. But I wasn't a pushover without the suit. It could have increased my abilities. Heck I could be as strong as Ben or Hulk or Captain America now for all I know. Maybe we should test how strong I am in this as well. I mean it may have saved me from Loki but it could have weaknesses that could get me hurt or killed." said Peter.

Peter grinned as Tony spoke again.

"I won't dad." said Peter.

He paused blushing a little as he said that out loud.

"I never really knew my father but calling you dad just felt right. But if you prefer I call you by your name I will." said Peter.

Peter nods as Tony agreed only Bruce and Frigga would know.

"Thank you. It's been too long since someone's really cared about me like this. I'd almost forgotten what it felt like." said Peter.

Tony Stark(Iron Man)

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

(OCC: Sure! I'll put her in after your next post. Then we can do a thread for MJ and Peter probably. Or a different thread for all three in a group or something)

"A warehouse could actually work out. It's pretty inconspicuous and it'd save a lot of hassle with some forcefields. Me and banner can work on forcefields easily" Tony said with a agreeing, approving tone. Peter wasn't stupid. He was young but he was incredibly intelligent for his age. He had the same type of brainstorming Tony and Bruce themselves had. He then gave a warm smile as Peter encouraged him about Pepper, that she was very able and very smart. Enough to survive. He replied warmly "Thank you, Peter. That really means a lot to me. I think you're right. She's a brilliant woman. She's very business savvy and handled me. If anyone can handle me, they can handle this"

"JARVIS is a pretty smart cookie. I know, I created him. If there was a spy, he'd sniff it out in a heartbeat. But having him scan weaponry and keep tabs on people with certain items can definitely help matters. He'd be quick with information if a spy was to come by" Tony replied, his tone observant and prideful. He loved JARVIS like a brother and trusted the AI with his life. He then gave a amused laugh "That it does. Though the metal does not help out my back"

"You're right there isn't a promise. And having our kids and whatnot fight is a very definite possibility" He then smiled as Peter said that their children would be superheroes just like them and couldn't help but imagine a son or daughter of his fighting for the right thing. It both saddened and flattered him. He sighed "Hopefully this war will end and it won't come to that and our kids will fight on their terms if they must"

Tony then nodded enthusiastically as Peter rightfully pointed out that the thing could change things. Tony then saw Peter get nervous and came closer to him, holding his shoulders fondly. "Relax, Parker. I know deep in your heart that you and I will find the differences. The thing, if it IS controlling you to protect itself, we will do what we can to make sure it doesn't overstay it's welcome. I promise parker, you're gonna be okay no matter what happens" He then froze as Peter called him 'Dad'. He never had a son figure let alone someone to consider close besides Pepper or JARVIS. But now he had Parker.

"Call me whatever you want, Peter. Tony and Dad both suffice. Just so long as I can call you 'Son' from time to time, huh?" Tony winked but then pulled Peter close to him. He hugged him, despite the somewhat amused response, Tony was very humbled and touched by Peter's wording. He hugged the young man tightly, relishing this moment. Eventually he let go and replied "I think you've been overdue to have somebody take care of you, kid. Let's go, we should get back to the base.. To talk to Mary Jane"

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter nodded.

"Cool. I'd like to help you guys out sometime too. I was thinking of going to college but that's going to have to wait now. I'm not as brilliant as you or Bruce obviously but I'd love to learn and help you guys. If you'd be okay with that." said Peter.

Peter grinned.

"Then before you know it she'll be here and you'll be driving each other crazy." said Peter.

Peter chuckled.

"Then it's good we have JARVIS here to protect us." said Peter.

Peter nodded.
"Well massages could fix that. Or a good night's sleep." said Peter.

Peter sighed.

"We'll just have to do our best to win this quickly but we can't put our lives on hold either. Some are going to want to have kids. Queen Frigga, Soma, Saga, Fandrall and Volstagg may be immortal or at least live longer. But we won't live forever. Unless there's a Fountain of Youth somewhere we haven't found." said Peter.

Peter grinned.

"I hope so. I just hope this thing isn't slowly killing me. Some parasites are fatal and this thing could always find another host if that's the case. Maybe we do need to run tests on this thing. I mean what if it's something Loki left to stop us. He would know we'd hesitate to harm it if it possessed someone. Then again some here shoot first and ask questions later. If this gets out they'll lock me up or kill me. I don't want to die." said Peter.

Peter was nervous and smiled again as Tony said he could call him what he wanted.

"It feels right to call you Dad. And I'd be honored to hear you call me son." said Peter.

He hugged him perhaps too tightly but he really needed this. Tony would be there for him now this his family was all dead. And Mary Jane would probably never speak to him again. He let go and nodded.

"You're all I got left. You and Mary Jane. And I don't know if I'll even get her back. But she deserves to know. Even if she never speaks to me again afterward." said Peter.

He sighed as he walked with Tony to the house.

(ooc: you could time skip and throw mary jane in the next post.)

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

(OCC: Sure. Why not)

"Well, you can help on the inside, outside might be hard for me to see but we can work on it" Tony replied softly. On one hand his protectiveness made him unsure of setting peter out to battle, on the other hand they were not really able with a lot of options. Or people. He turned to smile as Peter replied pepper would be back and drive him crazy "I'd rather have her nagging at me than all this crap right here" He nodded at JARVIS being praised but rolled his eyes at the suggestion of a massage

"You're like a little sage, Parker. I swear you came out of those lifetime movies" Tony smirked, teasing the boy for rightfully calling out on him. Saying that their lives shouldn't be put on hold just because of a war. His jokes ended though as the boy both feared being arrested/experimented and the fear of death "You stop that. You are not going to die. Not on my watch" He then took the kid closer to him, allowing the boy to hug tighter and he breathed "Come on son. She's waiting. Be honest. That's all you can do. I'll be in the room unless you tell me to not be"

*Time skip*

Tony then knocked on the door to Mary Jane's bunk "Ms. Watson, Stark here" Immediately the door opened to the bright eyed redhead. She saw Peter and asked softly if something was wrong. Tony sighed "Mary Jane, I.. I think it's more important you hear this out of Parker's mouth. He wants to talk to you" The girl nodded and allowed both of them to come in. Tony then sat quietly on a chair, watching the teens talk.
XXXX

Mary Jane opened the door quickly, smiling to greet Stark but frowned seeing Peter's distraught face. Admittedly she had been avoiding him but the way Peter's face looked made her forget her resentment. In fact, she was just on the road to forgiving him but now this was sudden. Mary Jane softly asked "Peter? What happened? Are you okay?" When told that there was bad news, Mary Jane solemnly nodded "Come in. Both of you" She then turned to Peter pointedly, replying with fear in her voice "Peter. Tell me. Don't hold back. What happened?"

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter walked in with Tony as they saw Mary Jane.

"I'm sorry for bothering you but I thought you should know about..."

He trailed off not wanting to say it out loud. Talking about it with Tony was one thing but admitting in front of Mary Jane would make it more real. He couldn't stop the tears flowing as he looked at Mary Jane.

"She's dead. Aunt May's gone. First my parents, then Uncle Ben. Now Aunt May. I'm the last Parker." said Peter.

He looked at her sadly and probably looked a little pathetic too.

"I understand if you're mad at me or even hate me. But can you forget that? At least for tonight. I need a friend and you're the only one here who knew her. I've never felt so alone before." said Peter.

He paused looking at Tony with a brief smile.

"Well maybe not completely alone. Mr. Stark agreed to take me in. He's going to be my new father. I don't think I could handle this without him." said Peter.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Tony sat in the corner patiently, waiting for the young girl's reaction and when she did, only a sad sympathetic glance was directed at the two. He waved his hand jokingly as if to pay no mind to Peter's gratitude. He then widened his eyes before sighing sadly as Mary Jane expressed her grief and sadness.
XXXX

Mary Jane meanwhile was listening to Peter's words. Mary Jane's anger and resentments vanished into thin air faster than ever. Aunt May was gone. She was nowhere near as close as Peter was with her but Mary Jane looked to Aunt May like a aunt figure of her own. May saved her and her mother quite a few times in the past. Mary Jane's pain and sadness was just as big as Peter's. So she was completely empathetic and understanding. Mary Jane shook her head in shock "No, not aunt may. Oh my god, Peter" She then rushed to give Peter a huge hug, feeling all her anger and sadness she isolated herself with finally come out. It was the first start to forgiving and bonding with Peter properly. She sobbed softly "Oh I'm so sorry for everything Peter. I'm so sorry. Poor aunt may" She hugged him tighter "You're not alone Peter"

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter gave a weak smile hugging Mary jane tightly.

"All I have left is you and Tony. I can't remember my parents and my uncle died because of me. I should have protect her. Gotten her to safety." said Peter.

He nodded.

"I know you're mad at me MJ and I don't blame you. Could you promise not to cut me out of your life? I'd rather have you as a friend then nothing. But if you really mad at me that much I'll back off. You won't have to speak to me again. All I wanted was for you to be safe and happy even if it's not with me." said Peter.

He paused glancing at Tony and smiled. He doubted Mary Jane would abandon him completely but perhaps a romance between them was gone forever. Either way he knew he'd always have Tony at his side. He let go of Mary Jane reluctantly and sighed.

"I'm sorry I hurt you but I meant what I said. I kept my identity a secret to keep people safe. It's why I put on the costume in the first place. Green Goblin kidnapped both you and Aunt May after he learned who I was. You both nearly died because of me and now she's gone. I couldn't have you die because of me. I'd rather have you alive even if you hate me and never want to speak to me again than dead." said Peter.

He was going to stand up and walk away from her to respect her wishes but he found he just didn't have the strength too. Losing his aunt on top of his injuries had been such an emotional blow to him. He was trying to be strong but if Mary Jane rejected him again he had no idea if he'd be able to take it.

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

Tony watched with careful eyes as the two young adults talked. He didn't know what to do other than be the basic guardian of the room. He was relieved that Mary Jane seemed to forgive and be as supportive as Tony thought she was. He smiled softly as Mary Jane tried to convince him to stay. He gave a small wink as Peter glanced over to him, as if to say I got you
XXXX

Mary Jane listened sadly as Peter explained his guilt and begged her not to cut him out of her life. Mary Jane said softly, meekly, but sincerely "Peter. I was mad at you but I've realized it's time for me to let go. What matters is that you're finally being honest with me now. And I would never cut you out of my life. I need you too Peter. You're all I have" She then teared up as Peter explained he'd rather have Mary Jane hate her than be dead. As he turned to go, Mary Jane raced and held him close "No. Please. Don't go Peter. I know you're scared but so am I. But I want us to be together" She moved him around and looked him straight in the eyes "Peter. I'm sorry for shunning you. I was just wrapped up in the lie. But you were trying to protect me. But here's the thing, you don't need to protect me anymore. I need to be here for you"

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter looked on at MJ in shock as she said she was mad but she would never cut him out.

"I hope your parents are alive somewhere MJ. I'm sure Tony and the others can keep an eye out for them if they find them. But you will always have me for as long as you want me." said Peter.

When MJ hugged him he hugged her in return.

"You really want to be together?" asked Peter.

He smiled at her.

"I'm sorry I hurt you but not sorry for lying. If I had to do it over again I'd have still kept quiet. Because you and Aunt May don't have super powers. You'd be sitting ducks. If Norman hadn't found out about me the two of you could have led normal lives and be safe." said Peter.

He let go of MJ and pulled Tony into a hug.

"Thank you again for everything." said Peter.

[Mary Jane Watson]

Mary Jane smiled as Peter responded that he hoped for her parents to be found and that she would always have him. She responded back softly "You'll always have me too peter. I know I was mad before but I swear I'll always be here for you" She held his hands tightly before holding him closely. She nodded insistently and sincerely replied "Yes. Of course I do. I love you peter. I always have. I always will"

She then nodded "I know. You did what you did to protect me. I understand that now. I can't fault you for doing something that anyone else would've done. Just promise me that you'll be more open now that the cats' out of the bag" She said this with a cute, witty smile before kissing his cheek "Or at least let me clean up your costume cause it seriously stunk when I saw you that day" She couldn't help but laugh a little. She then turned to tony and nodded "Yes Mr. Stark. Thank you"
XXXXX

Tony smiled as the teens reconciled and made up as properly as they could. He smiled and was about to go but was pulled into a hug by peter and thanked by both. He then shrugged it off, hugging peter back "Ahhh, just send the therapy bill by thursday. And a invite to the wedding" He then replied to the two of them with a serious smile "Normally I tell teens to lay off relationships but you two really hit it off. You both deserve each other" He winked to peter and replied "Well how about it, parker? Gonna celebrate with your mrs by having a small date or are you just gonna stand there like a dum-dum?"

(OCC: Hope you don't mind this, just trying to be both funny and give a ending to this thread plus maybe give us a start to give peter and mary jane a date thread)

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter smiled at her.

"And i'll always be grateful for that." said Peter.

He sighed.

"And I love you too MJ." said Peter.

He nodded.

"I'll try. I know I'm not alone anymore with this superhero thing. We've got a whole rebellion going on. And we'll probably be fighting side by side one day even though I'd be fighting my instincts to grab you and take you somewhere safe." said Peter.

He chuckled.

"An invite? If Mary Jane puts up with me long enough for a wedding I'd make you my best man." said Peter.

He sighed.

"It'd be nice but I don't know if I'm ready for that yet. I know Aunt May would want me to happy but I still need time to grieve. Maybe a rain check on the date?" said Peter.

[Mary Jane Watson]

(OCC: Sorry I was meaning the date thread or bonding thread with mary jane and peter would be much later after this thread. Sorry for the confusion)

Mary Jane smiled as Peter responded back to her. She felt a little more satisfied that she was more public with her affections to peter. She then chuckled a little and nodded "Oh I'm not asking for everything you do be monitored by me. Just let me help out at least, seriously your costume could always use a wash. And yeah, would appreciate you not forcing me to hide from battle. That'd be nice too" She chuckled some more, feeling more relieved than she had in a small while. She blushed a tad as Peter mentioned marriage. One day if peter asked her, she would say yes. There was no doubt about that. But she didn't want to pressure peter. She then nodded about peter needing time and putting a hold on the date "Peter's right tony. The date will have to be a little later. Right now peter needs time and I will wait for as long as it takes"
XXXX

"Now we're talking. Best man's always get the golden treatment. You know how to treat this old man right" Tony replied as Peter said he would be the best man. He then nodded, realizing it might have been a bit too soon to ask peter to take MJ out on a date. He nodded to mary jane as she agreed with him. Tony replied "Of course. Take your time. You need to grieve properly. I understand. Was just being a little funny but I suppose now isn't really the time, my bad parker" He then replied "Let's get you both something to eat. This day must of overwhelmed you"

[Peter Parker/Spiderman]

Peter smiled.

"I'd like that. I suppose with this rebellion going on secret identities aren't going to matter anymore. We'd all be heroes when we take the Earth back from Loki." said Peter.

He sighed.

"I can't deny I'd be worried about you. I've never had someone watching my back before on battles. I've already lost Uncle Ben and Aunt May. I never really knew my parents. I can't lose anyone else especially you and Tony." said Peter.

He turned to tony and laughed.

"Of course." said Peter.

Peter nodded.

"I'm just grateful she's talking to me right now." said Peter.

He nodded.

"I'd like that. I'm starving. The hospital food was pretty bad." said Peter.

[Tony Stark(Iron Man)]

Mary Jane nodded with a soft smile as peter pointed out secret identities were going to be a thing of the past. She then softly hugged him responding "I won't lose you either peter. I promise I'll be careful it's just I want to help you out and not be on the sidelines. That's all I'm asking" She then chuckled a bit at tony's words to peter and them talking. She then nodded "I'm actually kind of hungry myself now that you mentioned it"
XXXX

Tony softened up at peter's words of fearing of losing him and mary jane. Tony made a note to be particularly careful himself. He then chuckled "Communication is key. Better make sure you two make the most of it" He then laughed a bit as peter mentioned the hospital food "Good. We're all hungry. Let's go get something" He then lead them to the kitchen to genuinely get something.

(OCC: Prob should end this to make another thread to RP in)
