	Peter and Open to Anyone (multiple welcome) starkward 2021-05-22 03:13 pm UTC (link)
	Peter was grinning like an idiot as he moved through the party, getting pats on the back and shoulder, and a lot of "congratulations". It felt really good to have his accomplishments celebrated like this. He turned to the food table and eyed the drinks, thinking he was going to grab one of those. But which one?

Peter and Tony

Tony snuck up on Peter, because of course, he did. Punch in hand (non-alcoholic, you're welcome), he studied the food table then nodded to his intern/apprentice/~~son~~.

"Don't touch the chicken fingers, whatever you do." He was half-kidding but looked serious enough when he said it.

"So. Congrats. Got time to talk?" He put his free hand on Peter's shoulder, already ready to lead him away for a private 'father/son' kind of convo.

	Peter jumped a little at the sound of Tony's voice over his shoulder and glanced up at his boss/mentor/~~dad~~. "I mean, I don't trust any food that's called something that's logically impossible. Chicken don't even have fingers." And then Mr. Stark's hand was on his shoulder and suddenly Peter felt like he was in trouble. "Uh... yes?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Smart kid." Tony lightly patted his shoulder at the notion of not wanting to eat the chicken fingers. Tony had his reasons for warning against it.

"Good! Come on." He led Peter away from the party, not intending for it to take long. But he figured he didn't want anyone else ~~Pepper/May~~ overhearing.

"So, how's it feel? Being free and all that? I remember when I graduated- I mean, no I don't- long story. Hopefully, you'll remember this, though."

	If only Peter knew what Tony's reasons were. If he knew there were reasons, he would have been curious. As it was, he was ready to move on to the next thing. Which seemed really nerve-wracking. "It's pretty good." Peter followed along with Tony and nodded. "I don't think I'll be able to forget it." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter and Tony iron_dad 2021-05-23 05:35 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah. Good, good." Tony was leading Peter down the hall- don't worry, he would be back soon enough. It was toward the labs. He didn't tell Peter his reasoning just yet, but it was clear he had a destination in mind. "So, gotta ask: what are your plans for the future? College, I'm assuming. You know where you're going, yet?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Peter shrugged, moving along the hallway with Tony. He didn't think it was weird to be pulled away from the party temporarily. Besides, it sounded like Mr. Stark had something important to talk to him about.

And that. The dreaded question. Truthfully, Peter probably could have gotten in to almost any college he wanted to go to. But to either ask Aunt May to help pay for it, or get himself into a hundred thousand dollars (or more) worth of college debt? He wasn't sure he wanted that.

Besides, he couldn't do full time college and be Spider-Man.

"Oh. Yeah. I'm gonna go the Community College route."

"Community College?" Tony frowned, not that there was anything wrong with community college. But Peter was brilliant. He figured there'd be scholarship- hell, he'd offer a scholarship. But that's not why he was talking to the kid about this.

"So you're staying local." Good. Tony nodded. "I mean, New York is local, right? NYC. Columbia." He stopped in front of a lab and hit the pin to open the door.

"Anyway, good to know."

Stepping in, Tony let Peter go first.

On display was a new Spider-Man suit, the latest tech included. Nicer than even the one Tony made last time. "Figured I would wait to give it to you as a graduation gift, seeing as you're an official Avenger now and all that." He said it casually.

"And since you're staying local, there are a few extra doohickies in there you might like. I mean, if you want it." Tony shrugged.

"Then again, no pressure to take the Avengers position. School's tough. And a paid internship is definitely going to make it a bit tougher- but worth your while by the time you graduate."

Peter could hear the judgement in Mr. Stark's voice. While he may have been pretty much a genius, Peter wasn't the only smart kid out of Midtown School of Science and Technology. He was... maybe a little above average. And with the strangest senior year ever, he wasn't really sure what to do with his college applications.

"Yeah, well, I figure I have time to uh... to figure out where I want to go." Using the word "figure" twice in that sentence threw him off guard.

He stepped into the room and blinked at the new suit. New and improved. Peter's jaw dropped and he moved forward slowly, eyes trained on the spider suit.

"...what... is this...? Is this for me?"

	Tony was happy to see how taken Peter was by the new suit. Nodding and patting the kid on the shoulder before leaving him to it. "Yeah. I definitely didn't make it in my size." He was proud of the kid. "You've earned it. And I figure it's probably best to keep you alive for as long as possible and this should help. You wanna try it out?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter and Tony starkward 2021-05-24 06:03 am UTC (link)
	"Oh man. Oh jeez." Peter moved over to touch the suit, reaching out to run his fingers over it. It was far too beautiful for Peter. He wasn't even sure what to say. "Y-Yeah. Yes, I do." Peter turned back to Tony, grinning brightly. It was like Christmas and his birthday all rolled into one. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Go for it. I'll hold off the others for a while- just uh, don't take too long. Unless you wanna climb through the window. In which case, please don't break the glass." He shook his head. "I'm kidding, the glass is shatterproof. Well, maybe not with that suit. Be careful, alright?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter and Tony starkward 2021-05-26 04:40 am UTC (link)
	Peter nodded. He couldn't wait to get his hands on the suit. He didn't think he wanted to get outside, but he definitely wanted to get the mask on his head to check out the new software. He moved to the suit and took the mask to inspect it carefully. "I'm always careful," he added, giving Tony a grin. "Thank you. So much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Peter and Tony iron_dad 2021-05-26 05:36 am UTC (link)
	Tony was trying to play it cool but probably failing miserably. That grin couldn't be hidden, no matter how cool Tony thought he looked. "Yeah, yeah. Go have fun." He put his hands in his pocket and stood there for a second before he realized Peter probably wanted to get changed. "Uh...right. See you back at the party." Tony turned to leave.

Sabrina hasn't been around for very long, but she already considers Peter a friend. And she's definitely going to celebrate his graduation with him. She ever helped with the decorations, and enchanted the room to really make it look like they were at an actual luau.

And she's definitely going to have some of the food. If Peter would look to his right, he'd see that one of the cans of soda was floating.

Sabrina caught it in her hand, giving him a grin. "So," she said, grin still intact, "This is where you have to become a serious adult now, right?"

	Once he realized that someone had stepped up beside him, Peter glanced over and broke into a smile. there weren't all that many teenagers running around the compound, so he was making it a point to get to know all of them. "Heaven forbid," Peter said, lifting the glass of coke up as if in a toast. "I don't know if I'll ever become a serious adult." (Reply to this) (Parent)

Sharon and OTA (Open to Anyone)

The party was nice. Since Sharon was roommates with May, she'd gotten to know both May and her nephew Peter fairly well over the last few weeks. They were good people. Sharon was honored to be able to come and celebrate Peter's high school graduation with them. With the portals and all these other things going on, Peter didn't get a traditional graduation and celebration... so this was the next best thing.

Sharon was lingering around the edge of the crowd with a glass of wine, watching the festivites. They had a lot of things to be wary of--a lot of things to make them nervous, anxious, unhappy (Thanos, etc.)--but it was nice to take a couple of hours and attempt to put that on the backburner.

Steve and OTA (multiple welcome)

Steve wasn't much for parties. He felt a little socially awkward in these large group situations, especially when he didn't know everyone. He was here for Peter, though, to celebrate the kid's graduation. That was definitely a reason to celebrate.

He watched May for a little bit, smiling at how lovingly she talked about Peter, and watched him from her position as party host. He turned his attention to Diana, who also was a gracious and generous host, both with her time, smiles, and attention.

Steve decided to settle on one of the comfortable sofas so he could people watch from a relaxed position.

While Natasha had been distant, dealing with the ramifications of her death and her subsequent appearance here, she struggled to find meaning. Her decision had meaning, it had a goal, an agenda, and a purpose, and now she was here again, trying to stop the worst thing that could happen from happening. Again. It made her life (and death) feel... small, pointless.

But moments like these — celebrations that she'd never get to see in the world she'd left — were important, and Natasha had made it a point to go to as many as she could.

With that in mind, she flopped down on the couch next to Steve. "You know, Bucky thought you and I" — here, she gestured between them with her finger "— were a thing."

Steve had been giving Nat space. In retrospect, he should have been a little more nosy, a little more forcefully supportive, a little more present for her. He knew that looking over at her as she flopped onto the sofa beside him. And it made him feel incredibly guilty.

None of that showed in his expression. He remained pleasant, happy. He was smiling as she joined him, and the smile turned into a hearty smirk. "Natasha Romanoff. Are you coming on to me?"

"Well..." she said, pretending to think about it. "We have already had a kid together. I don't remember any of it, and I'm pretty sure you don't either, but we've got that part down already."

Natasha watched Peter as he bounced between friends and family. She'd never had moments like these in her life. The world Graduation meant something entirely different to her. It would be nice if Clint and his family was here, but he was safely tucked away in Missouri, spending lots of time together. She wished she could call them, but everything about his home arrest was heavily monitor. If she called, she'd put that all in danger.

Steve actually blushed. He was grinning softly, glad that she took his tease as just that: a tease. But then she brought their son into the mix, and Steve flushed pink as his mind went to procreation. Silly boy. "Unfortunately, I don't remember any of it."

He cleared his throat and shifted in his seat. "Hard to imagine that Tony's boy is finished with high school."

	Natasha was always amused any time she could tease Steve Rogers. She laughed under her breath and let him change the subject. The little things in life. "Did you ever finish high school? Or did you drop out to go to war?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Re: Steve and Natasha onurleft 2021-05-23 03:22 am UTC (link)
	"You mean my upbringing wasn't blasted all over the history books while I was under the ice?" Steve asked, more shyly than sarcastically. It was still weird to him that so many people knew so many things about him and his story. Being at the Avengers Compound with so many people who didn't know who he was... it was really refreshing.

	"No, it was. And I read your dossier." Still, talking to people was more interesting than reading about them. "But I still like hearing it from you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Steve nodded once. "Yes, I went to George Washington High School in Brooklyn. I even went to art school for a year before I was able to join the army." He glanced over at her. "What else do you wanna know?" (Reply to this) (Parent)
