Hey guys, this is it! The final chapter! I hope you guys enjoy it! I loved the chapter, had fun with it, so hopefully, that shows.

With this being the end, I have thought about what I should do next. I have a few ideas I will probably post those soon when I have time. So keep an eye out for that!

DISCLAIMER: Marvel is not mine, and if it were, Marvel and Disney would have a deal with Sony and not be stupid about the movie rights of Spiderman! Anyways, the only thing I own is the plot.

Monday morning, I walked into school, prepared to ask out MJ. I had told Ned what happened, and he flipped out. He wants to know how she found out and was planning on asking her. But I only had one question for MJ, and it wasn't that.

My plan was easy, find MJ, go up to MJ then ask her on a date. Then hopefully she says yes. Unfortunately my Parker luck decided to strike again. I couldn't find MJ. And not in the I think someone has kidnapped her sort of way, but more of a she was excused from her two morning classes. So maybe lunch. She usually sits with us and I can just ask Ned to leave so I could ask her. I definitely do not want an audience in case she rejects me.

Lunch comes around and my leg is bouncing like a crazy person. Ned keeps looking at me weirdly. Even though he knows what I'm waiting to do.

"I don't think I've ever been so grateful to see her in my entire life" Ned mutters. I look in the direction he was, and I smile; MJ is finally here. She is approaching our table and I look at Ned.

"Please dude, lunch is only a few more minutes, please just give us a moment?" I asked and he nodded, getting up and leaving. Then someone sits beside me and I turn to look at MJ.

"Hey" I say lamely.

"Sup loser. How was your weekend?" She asked.

"Oh uh fine. Nothing special happened." Liar. "What about you?"

"Nothing special. Although I do not believe you. With your uh, other half, I think your weekend was probably action packed" She retorted.

"No, just a few cats in trees." I mutter.

"Well then, how about anything at Stark's? Rumours are flying that the rogues are back" She continued to probe. I clenched my jaw a little. Just ask her out. All you have to do is say those few words. "Or maybe you started studying for finals because those are next week, then summer vacation-"

"Will you go on a date with me?" I blurt out. Shit, not like that.

"What?"

"Do you maybe, want to go on a date with me?" I repeat.

"You want to go on a date, with me?" She asked incredulously.

"Ya."

"Sure."

"Sure?" I ask, making sure I heard her correctly.

"Ya. But maybe after finals. We have a bunch of studying to do."

"Okay, cool, a date. After finals. It will be fun" I smile.

This is not fun! I'm freaking out. I have two hours before I am to pick up MJ and I'm freaking out. Why did I think this was a good idea? My last date went horribly, why would this be different. Well hopefully MJ's dad wasn't masquerading as a supervillain. Then of course it is MJ so she may not like what I had planned. Which wasn't even a lot. Just seeing a matinee of a new serial killer movie and then dinner wherever she wants. What if she hates it? What if she decided against the whole thing and refuses to open her door.

"You okay there kiddo?" I look up and see Tony in my doorway.

"Nervous."

"Well I'm sure your date will be fun" He smiled. May wanted to see me off for the date but had been called to week long work trip and couldn't So I'm staying with Tony.

"What if MJ hates it though?"

"I'm sure she won't"

"I'm freaking out. She going to hate it" I start pacing around the room.

"Well, I suppose that is a good thing." He smirks at my face.

"How, how could that possibly be a good thing?" I splutter.

"Because every time you freak out, good things happen. Well, the outcome is good. You freak out about anything Spiderman related, and that's good. Keeps you on your toes and stops you from getting hurt. Most of the time. Last week you were freaking out about all your finals and you got A's on all of them. So, you freaking out just means that the date will be fine." He explained.

"I don't think that's how it works" I mutter.

"I said it, so are you saying that I'm wrong?" He questioned and my eyes widened.

"Oh, uh, no maybe just misinformed?" I stutter, embarrassed that I called Tony wrong.

"No, just using logic kid. Okay, so Happy will drive you to her house, then drop you guys off to the theatre. Are you good after that?" I nod. "Excellent, I can't wait to go tell Happy what he is doing" He pats my shoulder then walks out, to find Happy I presume. I smile, happy that Tony could help me out. Well at least a little bit. I am definitely still nervous and freaking out a little bit. But not as much as before.

I mean she did say that she wanted to go on a date, so maybe it won't be that bad. Perhaps she knows me well enough to know what kind of date I would plan, thus knowing she would like it. Or maybe, she likes you enough to not give a shit where you guys are going and that it is just the two of you. Nah, it's MJ, she still calls me loser.

"I still can't believe that movie! It was perfect! They portrayed Ted Bundy exactly like how I would think he was. I mean, it was perfect. And then we went to that Thai place that I love. Thank you Peter. Tonight was amazing. And you are even walking me to my door which is so cute, and Peter like" MJ smiles at me. I walk her to her door in the apartment building and hesitate.

"Ya, I had a great time tonight as well." I smile, internally beaming that she enjoyed it so much, but trying to play it cool.

"And this is me." She stops and turns to face me. Oh shit. I've been so worried about the date I forgot about what happens after the date. Should I just kiss her? Or should I ask to kiss her? Or should I just give her a hug? Or let her decide? "Peter" MJ interrupts my internal freakout.

"Ya?" I ask, looking at her. She leans in, grabs my chin and kisses me. She pulls away quickly and looks at me, face slightly red. "Wow" I mutter, like the idiot I am.

"Ya, I think wow covers it" She mumbled and leaned in again, putting her lips on mine. I smiled and put my arms around her waist. She pulls away again and smiles at me. "Next time, I'm planning the date. I'll text you when I decide what we should do. Goodnight Peter" She opens her door and goes inside. I stand there for a second, not really believing what happened. MJ kissed me? Twice? I smile and make my way back down to the street.

I walk the twenty minutes from MJ's house to the tower. It's only ten, so not too late and not too dangerous for Peter Parker to walk home. I probably look like an idiot the entire walk home. I have a skip in my step and am smiling widely. I love the way I feel right now. It was the high I got from swinging through New York for fun. Except, it was not from that, just the date I had with MJ. I am high off a person. Her presence is just so intoxicating, and you never know what's going to happen in her presence.

I go to the elevator and go up to the top floor. I walk out and go to the living room to see if Tony was awake still. Well of course he would be awake still, it's Tony. I turn the corner and pause at what I see. Tony is on the couch, Pepper curled into him. Loki is on one of the smaller couches and they are all watching a movie. The weird part is that Loki is here. Since the rogue Avengers are staying at the compound, Loki feels uncomfortable around them, since they were always staring at him or making comments about his presence. So he stayed at the tower, but on the floor below. The only time Loki was up here was if I invited him. So it was weird that Loki is hanging out with Tony and Pepper, without me.

I walk over to the couch that Loki is on and plop down on the other side of it. The movie is paused and all heads turn to me.

"What?" I ask.

"What do you mean? Let's hear all about your date Peter" Pepper laughed at my confusion.

"Oh, uh we went to a movie then had dinner" I mumbled, uncomfortable with all their attention on me.

"Yes, we know that. We want details" Tony commented.

"Wow, never pegged you for the type to want all the details of a date Tony" I smirk.

"Actually, ya, Stark, that surprises me too" Loki added.

"Oh, no I'm not falling for this kid. Stop trying to redirect the attention. Tell us about the date." I sigh, mad that my plan didn't work.

"Fine. We went to go see that new Ted Bundy movie. And-" I start.

"You took MJ out, on your first date, to a serial killer movie?" Pepper asked incredulously.

"Uh, ya, she loves murders and gruesome things." I smile at the thought of MJ. "Anyways, she loved it, thought it was awesome that we saw that instead of some horrible rom com. We then had dinner at that Thai place beside the theatre and that was great. Then I walked her home and then I walked here. It was good." I finish.

"Are you guys going to have another date?" Pepper asked, a smile on her face.

"Ya, she uh, asked me out." I blush at the thought.

"Interesting girl. But, knowing you Peter, it's probably good that your girl takes control. She will keep you in check." Loki commented.

"Well, since no one asked, I feel like I have to, did you kiss her?" Tony asked and I whipped my head to look at him, eyes wide.

"Why would you ask that?" I choke out.

"Tony don't embarrass him" Pepper reprimanded.

"What? It's not like you didn't want to know. Besides, I'm not asking for the details. I just want to know if he was a gentleman or not" He defended himself.

"Well, I didn't kiss her. She uh, she kissed me." I blush again embarrassed by that. Tony lets out a laugh.

"MJ sounds like the perfect girl for you Peter. She seems to know you and what you are too scared to do. But hey, that's okay. Not everyone can be as smooth with the ladies as I am." He smirked. Pepper smacked his chest.

"Oh please. If we go on a date, I plan it and put it on your calendar." And I laugh at Tony now.

"Well Stark, it appears as though you have been outed." Loki smirks at him.

"Hey, this was about Peter, not me" He puts his hands up in defence.

"How about we make this about no one, and finish whatever movie you guys are watching." I say, wanting the attention off of me and MJ.

"So, any special plans for the weekend? Perhaps with your girlfriend?" Tony smirks at me.

"No, just hanging out, maybe go out for dinner. I don't know. Didn't really plan anything for my birthday. I never do, it's always small. Which I like. I hate being-"

"The centre of attention. Ya, I know" Tony finishes for me. I smile and go back to work on my suit that I am repairing.

Truth is, my birthday was never a big celebration. When my parents were alive, well I don't remember those four birthdays. I also do not remember the few after that either. But the birthdays that I do remember since I was eight, were always small. I never really had friends. Everyone has always thought of me to be weird. I assume it was me being smarter than them. And that's okay. Then Ned came along and he joined in on the birthday celebrations with Ben, May and me. Then Ben died and that first birthday without him was hard. I didn't even want to acknowledge the day but May woke my up the same way she always did, with pancakes. This time they were slightly burnt because Ben usually did the cooking, but she tried. And we ate them together and cried for Ben. We went out for a bit, and Ned came over for dinner. Then last year it was a few weeks after the vulture incident and Tony, and I were closer. So May invited him. Not only was I surprised that Tony came over for my birthday, but Ned almost had a heart attack. Tony was cool about it though. Even told Ned he was impressed with his ability to hack into my suit. Then threatened him if he decided to try it again.

This year I invited MJ. She is officially my girlfriend now, so obviously I would invite her. Well, it was more like she found out when my birthday was and invited herself, but I had planned on telling her about it. After our date five weeks ago, she took my out a few days after and I officially asked her to be my girlfriend. I was super nervous, cause it's MJ, but she smiled and said yes. Then she kissed me. And now we go out every week and hang out with Ned as well. I even took her swinging once and then she yelled at me. She didn't like the feeling of falling through New York. I then told her that's how I feel when I'm with her and she kissed me. Told me to never do it again but was smiling after. Two weeks ago, Tony told me to invite Ned and MJ over for a movie night.

So Ned, of course, said yes but MJ hesitated. I told her the chances of Pepper being there were high, then she immediately agreed. She didn't like Tony, which is something I didn't know until she was glaring at him. That was not fun. But she eventually pulled him aside and they were good now. Both have not told me what they talked about. Loki joined that movie night and Ned freaked out because, it's the god of mischief, MJ smiled. She finds him fascinating and asks him many questions. Loki seems to like her too as he actually engages in her conversation, as opposed to just ignoring her which he did to people he doesn't like. It was an interesting night, but overall fun.

"Do uh, do you maybe want to come over for dinner again?" I ask hopeful that he wants to.

"Ya of course. On Saturday, your actual birthday?" He asked.

"Ya, I think so"

"Wouldn't miss is kid." He smiles at me, emotions that I can't put my finger on swimming in his eyes.

"Cool. Oh, uh Pepper can come too, if she isn't busy" I add.

"Ya, I'll check with her." He looks down at his work again. I look at the clock and stop.

"Oh, uh, I should probably go. I told MJ and Ned that I would meet them at five" I looked at Tony sheepishly.

"Ya, okay. See you in two days kid" He gets up and hugs me. "I trust you know your way out?" I roll my eyes at him.

"No, I've never been here before Tony" I say sarcastically, and he just laughs.

"Okay smartass. Have fun with your friends."

"Wake up sweetie." I hear, then feel a dip in my bed. I open my eyes and smile when I see May. I see her holding pancakes, which are improving, but still are slightly burnt.

"Hey, uh thanks" I sit up and take the plate of food she is handing to me.

"Happy birthday. You are growing up too fast." She says, tears in her eyes. "Ben would be proud of who've you become. And your parents too."

"Thanks, May." A few tears in my eyes.

"Of course I am also proud of you. Okay, enough with the sappy. You eat those up and get all washed up. I have plans for us. Ned and MJ will be over in an hour or so. So hurry up." She stands up and leaves my room.

I get up grab some clothes and have a shower. Plans? May never makes plans. Always asks what I want to do. Interesting. MJ and Ned also didn't say anything, and they clearly know what's going on. I shrug and move on. I guess I'll be finding out throughout the day, and that's fine by me. When I finished, they were here. I smile and they wish me a happy birthday. Before May can announce what we are doing, MJ pulls me into my room.

"I want to give this to you, but not in front of people." She smiles and hands me a black book.

"Is this your…?" I ask holding the book.

"Just open it" I open the first page and my breathing stops for a second. It's me. In what I think is detention and I look to be in crisis. I smile at that, her favourite thing to draw; people in situations they don't want to be in. I flip to the next page and its me in the cafeteria. I look through all of them and smile at them. Me, some with Ned, a few with May, one of our first kiss.

"Wow, these are amazing" I breathe. She blushes, but gestures for me to look at the rest. There's a few of Spiderman, then Spiderman without a mask on and I smile. But the last one I stop at. It's from the movie night. Tony had pulled me into a hug, and she captured the moment. I look up at her. "Thank you, just, thank you. These are amazing. Thanks for sharing these with me"

"I didn't plan to, but I figured you'd appreciate them." I lean down and kiss her.

"Guys hurry up, lets get this show on the road" Ned knocks on the door. MJ laughs at his impatience. I put the book down on my desk.

"Let's go I guess" I roll my eyes playfully but grab her hand and pull her back to the living room.

"Oh, good you guys good?" May asked and we nod. "Okay, lets go, our first stop is a cute little mini putt place I found. I know, a little young, but it looks like fun."

And it was. We all laughed and taunted each other. MJ ended up winning. She laughed at Ned who had claimed to be the best at this sport. Of course when he declared that we all were determined to beat him. It was a fun hour and a bit. We all then got lunch at a Chinese restaurant. May then took us to a bakery, getting everyone cupcakes. They were amazing. Probably the best cupcakes I had ever had.

"What are we doing next?" I ask, while we walk down the street.

"There's a market going on just down the road. I figured we could check it out. Look pretty cool" May smiles and leads down the road. I see tents set up in a grass area. We enjoy the market. They had locally produced goods; fruit, bracelets, artwork and anything of the sorts. It was cool. They had an artist that drew people as cartoons, so we of course got that done. We got junk food they had and went to a vendor that sold masks. We had fun trying those on then MJ dragged us to a band playing all types of music. We all sung the songs together and danced, just having lots of fun.

Just after three May told us we should head back. We all walked to her car, still laughing and singing to songs that were now stuck in our heads. While on the drive back I start getting confused. This isn't the way home, this is the way to…

"May? Where are we going?" I ask.

"Tony invited us to his for dinner."

"What? He never said anything about it the other day when I invited him over"

"You know how Tony is" She smiled. And that's true, I do know how Tony is. He believes in big parties, the bigger the better. Oh no. I start internally freaking out. Did he not mention anything because he was planning a big party for me? But he knows me, so he wouldn't do that. But why hide this then? Mu thoughts distract me and May parked a few minutes from the tower. We walk over to it and walk into the huge building. Not a lot of people were here because it being Saturday, but the people that were here, gave us looks. I led us over to the private elevator, trying to mentally prepare myself for anything.

"Good afternoon Peter. Where would you like to go?" FRIDAY asks.

"Jesus fucking Christ, I forgot about the creepy AI thing" May curses, holding her chest. I laugh a little at her.

"Mrs. Parker, I would advise you to not swear so much around the children. It isn't good for them to use that kind of language" FRIDAY comments. Ned, MJ and I all look at May's face and laugh. She was just reprimanded by an AI. She mumbles something about Tony but laughs a little with us.

"To whatever floor Tony is on please FRI" I request. No response is given but the elevator moves. We go up to the very top floor and the doors open. Before I can take one step, people yell out surprise. I jump a bit, not expecting that, but smile. As much as I hate parties and being the centre of attention, Tony nailed this. He decorated the rooms, Spiderman themed, which made me smile even more. And unlike what I had though, only a few people were here; all the avengers, Pepper, and Loki. It was great.

"Happy birthday kid hope you don't mind me hijacking the party, but I figured you wouldn't mind. And instead of throwing you a huge birthday, like I was going to, I decided to tone it down, and keep it small." Tony smiled and gave me a hug. "I also hope its okay that the rogues are here, but they heard about it being your birthday and asked to come. They like you so" He added with a shrug.

"Ya, ya its all great and I like them too. Well more than before. You're still my favourite though." I smile.

"I better be. Anyways. I won't monopolize your time, go talk to people, I think Ned wants to meet Cap" He looks over to Ned and just laughs at his friend. Ned is staring at Cap, a huge grin on his face. May and MJ had already gone over to Pepper. I lead Ned to Cap, and the few others around him.

"Mr. Rogers, this is my best friend Ned, and Ned, this is Steve Rogers." I introduce.

"Nice to meet you kid. And just Steve is fine." He holds his hand out to shake Ned's.

"Holy shit, I can't believe I'm meeting Captain America" Ned eyes wide, but shakes his hand.

"Be careful Ned, Captain America doesn't like bad language words" Nat smirks.

Ned is shocked to meet all the others as well. Which I understand, I mean not a lot of people get to meet the Avengers. I introduce MJ to all of them and she just smiles, not all too interested in heroes, except for Black Widow, who MJ thinks is a total badass. Well that's because she is.

Dinner was a loud event and consisted of two dozen pizzas. With two super soldiers, me and a dozen other people a lot of food was needed. Then of course there was desert, which was a huge cake. It was weird to have so many people celebrate me. And such a loud rendition of Happy Birthday sung to me, but it was great.

"Okay, present time everyone." Tony announced, telling everyone to go in the living room. We all squished in, bringing a few chairs from the dining room to make room. There was a pile of gifts in the centre the table. It's the most gifts I've ever had given to me at one time. I open them up thanking everyone. I got a compass from Cap and Bucky, Clint and Nat got me a Lego set that I was excited to build. Ned got me a Lego set as well, well lots of people got me Lego, but that was all good, I love Lego. MJ even bought me Lego, a small set, but it was the best because it was Spiderman. I had my own Lego set now and that was awesome. Loki got my a necklace. A black necklace with a small green dagger on it. It was pretty cool. May bought me a backpack 'for a replacement of the next one you lose' she laughed, but it was filled with many things. A science set that I had mentioned a few weeks back, a new wallet and another Spiderman Lego set. The bag was also full of my favourite candy. It was great. Then Tony and Pepper handed me a big box with a neat bow. I smiled at them and opened up the last gift. On the top were a few shirts that I laughed at, a Spiderman one and an Iron Man one. Under those was a pair of shoes, that were Iron Man themed, red and gold, and I through Tony a look. Then there was a small box with it. I opened it up and stared at the contents for a second.

There was a watch, silver and it was beautiful. On the back side it was engraved with 'Love Irondad and Supermom.' A few tears formed in y eyes and I pulled them both into a hug.

"Thank you" I whisper.

"Of course sweetheart." Pepper smiled.

"Love you kid" Tony smiled.

"Love you guys too"

"Are you guys sure you don't want to stay?" I ask MJ and Ned, who May was about to drive home.

"Ya, we need to get home. Right Ned?" MJ said, looking at Ned very pointedly. Huh, that's weird.

"Ya, uh we need to go home" Ned mumbles, even though I can tell by the look on his face that he wants to stay here.

"Bye sweetie, I'll see you whenever you decide to come home." May hugs me and goes to the elevator. Ned also hugs me and joins and May. MJ looks around for a second then gives me a quick kiss.

"See you around Peter, have fun with Tony" She smiles, but has a weird look in her eyes as if she knows something that I don't. Which, I mean is entirely probable, as MJ is smart and knows many things, but it seems as though she knows something that I should know, but don't. I shake my head and wave them goodbye.

"So, kid, wanna go to the lab for a bit? It's not that late." Tony asks from behind me.

"Ya sure" I turn around and we head for the lab. We stop outside of it and I look at Tony. "Is something wrong?" I ask.

"No uh nothing. I got you something else. For your birthday." He opens the door and pulls me inside. There, in the middle, is an older car, well, an ancient car. Old, faded paint, and probably needs a lot of work before the thing would even run.

"You, you got me a car?" I ask hesitantly. Happy had mentioned it, although, when he said it, I kind of assumed an expensive sports car, not, well not this.

"Uh, ya. And I figured the flashy Ferrari or whatever wouldn't be your type. But then I decided you may even think that just some brand-new car was too much. So, I went looking for a car that, with some work, would run. And I found this. So I figured we could work on it together. Fix it up over the next little bit, and then maybe I could teach you to drive. If you want of course. I don't want to pressure you into anything you don't want, I just thought that maybe it'd be fun." Tony rambled. I looked at him, and he looked nervous.

"Ya of course that's something I would want to do."

"I just didn't want to overstep you know? I just don't want you to think that I'm trying to replace Ben or Richard because-" I put my hand on his shoulder.

"It's okay. It's more than okay. Today, today you threw me a surprise party, and normally I would hate that, but you made it to fit me, not some extravagant party I thought was going to happen when May said we were coming here. But you surprised me by it being a small get together with the family. A family that has expanded in size because of you. And then you get me that amazing watch and that was amazing. And now you are telling me that we get to rebuild a car together so you can teach me how to drive. Well that's the best gift ever. So thank you. And I know you would never try to replace Richard or Ben because you are amazing and kind-hearted. So thank you for everything you do and thank you for being someone I haven't had in my life for a while. Thanks for being my dad."
