You have all been so good and patient and I have not been so good at posting. I love you all the more for it. This is not the best epilogue but, I ran out of clever things to say D: Anyway this will be reposted on the other popular fan fiction site soonish, (you can find me as AetherBunny over there) and I hope to have photos of the Avengers signs to go with it. Once more I love you all and thank you for your patience!
Peter had been out of Stark Tower for two months. He missed everyone like crazy but he was glad to be back home. Of course he stopped by the tower whenever he had time and was even allowed to bring Aunt May by. Tony and Clint thoroughly charmed her and let her know Peter was in the best possible hands.
Sometimes he would come home from school to find Natasha had been keeping May company, or running errands with her.
"Come on kid, movie night let's go!" He barely got in the back door one afternoon before Tasha was shooing him out the front.
"But..."
"I'm fine Peter, go have a good time." May assured him.
'Does Tony know you took his car?" There was red convertible parked outside.
"JARVIS knows." She gave him a shrug and a smile. "But Clint did ask Steve about his bike..."
"Oh no, you let him get Gwen didn't you?" Natasha's only response was to jump the door into the driver's seat and turn the key.
Peter was right, Clint pulled up on Steve's bike shortly after they had pulled into the garage Gwen tucked behind him on the seat.
"That wasn't so bad now was it?" He asked her as he lifted the helmet off her head.
"See, I'd never lie to you." He winked at her. Ever since Clint discovered Gwen's little crush on him he loved to harmlessly flirt with her to tease Peter.
"Alright get going." Natasha got his attention with a smack on the ass, but instead of cozying up to him she draped a friendly arm over Peter.
The four of them made their way up to the common floor with the promise of a surprise when they got there.
"We don't know what it is either, we just know Tony has been working on it since you were staying here." Clint informed them.
"Ah there you are you rascals! And you sweetheart. Now everybody is here and the fun can begin!" Sure enough the Avengers were assembled and Coulson and Hill (who had decided it was okay to fraternize just a little bit) had come back as well.
"Since our little super family keeps getting bigger and bigger and since we can't go a half an hour without touching each other, like I don't know... desperate teenagers - no offense kids- I decided it was time to take some drastic measures! I have a perfectly good screening room downstairs... but no. I think only this will do."
Tony led them to a closed door, and paused for a dramatic effect before opening it to reveal his latest pet project. It was a theater of sorts, but instead of seats the floor was a mattress. Nine of them were outlined by a cushiony bench and there were numerous oversized pillows leaning up against that. There was a large flat screen TV up on the wall and a cubby for shoes just inside the door.
"So this is what you've been up to. I like it." Pepper nodded in approval.
"You just like that it's not something with the potential to become dangerous."
"That too...So what are you doing all standing around, I thought it was movie night!"
Bruce who was already in socks was the first to try it out.
"Not bad Stark."
"It will also be a most fitting place for after mission sleep." Thor pointed out, as he got comfortable next to Bruce. Soon the whole team was sprawled out (or in Natasha's case curled up in Pepper's lap) and comfortable. Freya whined at the door until Steve got up to let her in. She lay down near Tony and he scratched her head.
Peter looked around; if life as a super hero was going to include the strange collection of people around him at that very moment... he was more than okay with that.
