Every parent had the stereotypical ‘#1 dad’ mug, but it could only be true for one person. And you knew it was your dad.
Scott Lang was very much a child himself, at least mentally. There was nothing he enjoyed more than spending a Saturday morning on the couch, eating Lucky Charms by the bucket and watching cartoons with you and Cassie. You were referred to as “his favourite girls” constantly, and although you had heard it for years, it still made you smile to this day. You were older than Cassie, but the difference in age had no effect on your relationship. You were best friends, and you couldn’t have wished for a better family.
Due to having been on house arrest you hadn’t seen much of your father recently, so when he was able to leave the house and he told you of his first action it shocked you. As soon as he was able to leave his own house, he was moving. To the Avengers tower. And you could go with him.
“Wait, what? They said that?” your jaw had hit the floor at the news. You had been aware of ‘Ant-Man’ all along, so you had kept informed about everyone else, especially after Germany. Now you could be living with them, learning from them.
“Yep,” Scott smiled, shoving his clothes into a box. “Said they’d be happy to have you. Also, it means you would be able to go to that school, Midtown?”
“Are you serious? Do you know how good that school is? This is crazy!” you sat on your dad’s bed, wrapping your legs underneath you.
“I’m going tomorrow, they’re sending vans for my stuff. And yours?” your dad looked across at you, squinting his eyes in anticipation.
“Yes. Definitely,” you almost squealed, excitement bubbling in your chest. “What about Cassie?”
“She’s too young to be around all of the sciency stuff, so she’ll stay with your mom. But she can come visit, obviously.”
“Oh, okay. Well, I guess I’d better get packing,” you jumped up, giving your dad a quick kiss on the cheek before leaving to return home.
“Early tomorrow! Like, 8am want to kill everyone early!” Scott called after you, laughing as he heard the door slam shut.
You were stood outside your father’s house at 8am sharp. You had brought over boxes and bags full of everything you owned – you figured space wouldn’t be a problem at the tower. Looking up at your childhood home, a wave of nostalgia washed over you. Memories flooded back of messing around with Cassie, building forts with your dad and watching Scott and Luis working whilst also having no idea what they were doing.
A smile crossed your face as you were lost in thought, not noticing you father walking up to you. He placed a hand on your shoulder, smiling towards you as you came out of your trance.
“Some good memories, huh,” he looked towards the house before looking back at you. “They’ve finished packing everything up, we’re ready to go.”
“Let’s go.”
Approaching the Avengers tower felt like you were entering a new world. It stretched up and up, the logo shining in the sunlight. You felt like the human embodiment of the heart eyes emoji. Beside you, your dad was having the exact same reaction.
“Welcome to our humble abode,” a familiar voice with a sarcastic tone grew louder alongside footsteps. You turned slowly to see Tony Stark standing in front of you.
“Oh my god,” you whispered, your eyes wide. “Hi, I’m (Y/N). It’s such an honour to meet you!” You reached out your hand to shake his. In response, he held his hand out for a fist bump, which you gave quickly.
“Part of the family now, kid,” he smiled, walking towards the front door. “Scott. Nice to see you.”
“Hey,” your dad replied, grimacing at the memories of Germany. “How’re you doing?”
“Made some upgrades to the suit. Your old tricks aren’t gonna work on me any more,” Tony turned to give your dad a sarcastic smile. You looked between the pair, the awkward silence making you want to scream.
“So, who’s here at the moment?” you asked, famous faces running through your head.
“Most people have been MIA since Germany, so it’s normally just Rhodey and me. Oh, and the kid, Peter.”
“Peter?” you asked, the name unfamiliar.
“The spider-kid?” Scott remembered.
“Yep,” Tony replied. “He’s at school but drops in pretty often. I’m working on his suit just now.”
“I would love to take a look,” you started, your mind roaming with ideas of the improved suit. “I mean, if that’s okay. I’m a big fan.”
“I’ll take you up on that later,” Tony smiled at you, entering the tower and leading you towards the elevator. “Sixth floor’s all yours. Feel free to explore, take these, they’ll let you in pretty much anywhere. My people will bring up all of your stuff, and I’ll see you later.” Tony tossed you badges with your names on and gave you a quick nod before walking off.
You turned to face your dad, a huge smile on your face, “Wow.”
“Wow indeed,” he span in a circle, taking in his surroundings. “Split up and reconvene in a few hours?”
“Plan,” you smiled, placing your badge in your pocket and turning to wander down a corridor.
The laboratory was greater than you could ever have imagined. It was covered wall to wall in holograms, screens and experiments. You pressed your badge to the door panel and it buzzed, the door unlocking and opening. You stepped inside, sucking in a breath before allowing your eyes to behold the magnificent room. You wandered through the space, running your finger along a surface when another hologram popped up.
You took a step back, looking at the design that appeared before you. It showed a suit, reminiscent of one you were familiar with.
“Spiderman,” you whispered, reaching out to figure out how to interact with the hologram. You whipped your hand to the side which spun the design around. As it turned, you noticed that the suit was significantly more advanced than you were used to seeing. It had a more metallic look, and it shimmered as it turned. “Woah.”
You found yourself entranced by the suit, no longer aware of your surroundings. You circled the table, looking at the papers scattered across the table. There were designs, equations, things you couldn’t begin to comprehend. You had always been interested in science and things like these brought out the science nerd that you had often tried to conceal.
“Mr Stark?” the door opened and a young man walked through, throwing his backpack on the floor. He took a few steps into the room before realising you were there, stopping when he saw you. “Oh, hi.”
You looked up at him, smiling slightly, “Hi. I’m (Y/N).”
“Oh, Scott’s kid? Cool, hi.”
“What’s your name?”
“Sorry, I’m Peter!” he smiled, holding a hand out to you. You shook it and stepped back.
“So, you’re Spiderman?” you asked, looking across at the suit displayed in front of you. “This is quite a suit, looks like it’s had a fair few upgrades.”
“Yeah, Mr Stark’s been working pretty hard on it. Do you know where he is?”
“I haven’t seen him since I arrived, sorry.”
“It’s not a problem. I can show you the actual suit, if you’d like?” Peter looked up at you, rubbing the back of his neck awkwardly.
“That would be incredible, thank you,” you smiled, following his lead.
Walking down the corridor, you couldn’t help the sneaking suspicion that this was the start of something wonderful.
*BONUS*
“So, Peter huh?” Scott threw himself down on the sofa next to you.
“What?” you looked up from your phone, not paying attention to your surroundings.
“Y’know, he fully took me down in Germany.”
“How?”
“Well, I was big and-”
“Oh my god, was it like the AT-ATs in Empire Strikes Back?” you looked up, your eyes glistening at the thought.
“Okay, y’know what? You can go with him, I don’t know you anymore.”
Yay! How about a peter x Lang!reader where after the whole ghost thing, Scott decides to move to the Avengers tower and the reader and Peter just hit it off 😊 thank you so much !
