Peter Parker

Peter Parker VS Red Recluse Part 2

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Bucky had promised the Peter that he would show him all the good parts of the world and he hadn't broken his promise. Peter was getting to know new people and things. He was doing the best a severely traumatised 8 year old with two personalities could.

Although the kid was making progress, Peter still had a long way to go. No one blamed the boy for this either, but it didn't mean the process wasn't difficult.

In the first week Peter was here, there were rules for the boy. More for the others to follow to not bring out Peter's more aggressive counterpart.

Do not mess with his food

This was established after Steve almost lost his hand for a second time.

Do not mess with Bucky

This rule was established after Clint had pranked Bucky. The archer had put soy sauce in milk and told Buck it was chocolate milk. When the super soldier spit the concoction out and sputtered like crazy, Peter didn't blink before drop kicking the man to the floor.

Do not touch Peter

No one had made the mistake of touching the boy. It's not that they didn't want to hug and be affectionate to the boy, but Bucky had told them not to. It wasn't a big issue seeing as Peter did his best to avoid contact with anyone other than Bucky.

The younger of the pair would follow the other like a baby duckling, the two attached at the hip. Bucky had never looked happier and as far as they knew Peter was as well. Other then the few slip ups, Peter had been moving forward in strides.

He began working with Tony in the lab after the boy had showed talent and interest in tech. Natasha had begun teaching Peter ballet to calm his nerves. With Steve and Bucky being good friends, it didn't take long for the boy to adjust to the mans constant fussing. No matter what the activity, Peter always had Bucky by his side.

When a mission had come up that Bucky and Nat couldn't miss, Tony and Steve were placed in charge of the boy. It took a lot of explaining and reassuring that Bucky would return for Peter to stop clinging to the man's arm. Bucky wasn't fond of the idea either. Peter needed him, and with thousands of worries plaguing his mind he was hesitant. After a bit of convincing and an approval from Peter the two left for their week long mission.

Seeing as the two were finished with the business keeping the pair in Asgard, Thor insisted that they visit the earth's mightiest heroes. With a roll of his eyes Loki followed his brother to the bifrost, tempted to see what trouble the mortals have stirred up on Earth.

Landing on the balcony of the residency of the heros, Thor drags Loki into the common area by his arm. As the two entered, a few of the residents ran into the room. "Hello Friends!" Thor exclaimed surprised to see the two so eager towards their arrival.What they didn't know was it had nothing to do with the men that had arrived.

Moments later a large creature came clamoring into the room, it's six blood red eyes and extra limbs targeting the fleeing avengers. Eyeing it's targets, the creature hissed and bared its fangs towards them. Thor didn't spare a moment before summoning Mjölnir.

The first days of caring for Peter seemed to be going smoothly. Rules were remembered and the kid didn't seem too deeply affected by the absence of his companion. They kept him busy and didn't push the boy to do anything much.

Steve was sitting in an armchair reading the newspaper and waiting for Peter to finish up his work in the lab with Tony for lunch. He hadn't heard anyone approach, but before he knew it the small boy was plopped in front of him. Out of surprise, Steve had suck his hand out to block an attack, accidently touching Peter's currently signing hand.
