{Appreciate Mr. Stark [Peter meets the Rogue Avengers]}

Disclaimer: Everybody is nice and clear on the fact that I don't own Marvel? Everyone will remember this for the following chapters? Good. Because I'm sick of repeating it and trying to be amusing.

TW: Cursing. Badass Peter Parker. The Rogue Avengers are kind of jerks in this.

Peter hummed as he shuffled in the elevator. "Hi there FRIDAY," he beamed at the ceiling. "Hello Peter," the AI greeted, automatically sending the elevator to the penthouse floor. "Where's Mr. Stark?" he asked curiously. "Boss is currently in the living room."

Peter peeked his head silently in the living room. His eyes widened when he saw the Rogue Avengers minus Ant-Man sitting on the couches, but he narrowed his eyes when they continuously made unfriendly jabs at Tony Stark, who seemed to be trying his best to ignore them. Peter quickly ran out of hearing range and spoke to the AI.

"FRIDAY, can this be displayed to the public?" he asked. "Yes, Peter," FRIDAY said, "May I ask what you are planning to do?" "You are going to be the main helper FRIDAY. Are you ready to save Mr. Stark?" he asked. "I'm always ready to help boss." "Great, you keep recording everything that goes on in the living room right?" "Yes, I do." "Keep recording." Peter smirked at the nearest camera, "Let's get this show on the road."

"What's up, Mr. Stark?" Peter asked the billionaire, completely ignoring the rest of the Avengers. "Hey kid," Tony smiled brightly. "Who is he, another product of your one-night stand?" Sam spat out. "Shut your mouth Chicken, I'm his personal intern," Peter said without missing a beat, dropping his bag on the kitchen stool and leaning on the head of Tony's seat.

"You should respect your elders' boy," Steve spoke up. "I give respect to those who deserve it Rogers, and you are definitely not one of them." Peter placed his hands on his mentor's shoulders and gently massaged the muscles, relaxing them. "Stark has ruined another's life," Clint snarled. Tony's shoulders tensed. Peter has had enough.

"ENOUGH," Peter shouted, "What is it that Mr. Stark has done to ruin your life? You are the ones who refused to pay the consequences for your actions. You are the ones who refused to read the improved Accords. You are the ones who blindly followed Brooklyn bitch. What exactly is it that Mr. Stark has done to make you hate him so much? I am curious." All of them opened their mouths. "One. At. A. Time."

"He is lazy," Sam spoke up. "Oh really, please do tell me how is he lazy? Because he makes the Avengers' weapons, manages a billion-dollar company, constantly makes updates to his suit as well as yours, attends board meetings, charity galas, etc. He has to attend press conferences, interviews, in name of the Avengers. He spends many nights sleeplessly as he works for you guys. Please do tell me where is his laziness in that?" Sam slumped back in his seat.

"Peter-," Tony started, "No Mr. stark. You have protected me so many times. It's my turn to protect you," Peter said, his eyes moving from Sam's to Wanda's, indicating her to speak.

"He killed my parents," she spoke angrily. "Correction, he didn't kill your parents. The weapons manufactured by Obadiah Stane, which he didn't know about, killed your parents. Your logic is like saying that the owner of the plane company which made the plane in which my parents died is their murderer. You are simply an idiotic girl who decided to listen to what the press says and not look beyond the fake Tony Stark, next." Peter said, his eyes meeting Clint, who was now looking significantly less confident.

"He made Ultron," he said. "Did you ever bother to ask him the reason why he created Ultron?" Peter asked all of them. The Rogues uneasily shifted in their seats. "Of course you didn't. You found that the easiest thing to do was blame Mr. Stark. Mr. Stark wanted to protect you all because his greatest fear shown by that witch," he pointed at Wanda, who looked like a deer caught in headlights, "was losing you all." All the Rogues looked at Tony, who was looking at Peter in wonder. "And don't you dare act as if you haven't made mistakes in your life. NEXT," Peter shouted, his voice sounding more and more irritated.

"He's an asshole," Bucky spoke up confidently. "Oh really? I wonder why? Let me think. An asshole of a father who constantly abused him. A mother who did nothing to stop her husband. Constant negligence. Death of his parents. Death of Jarvis, his butler who basically raised him. Betrayal from Stane. Torture. Palladium Poisoning. Near-death. A multi-billionaire company to run. A press who would drag him through the mud at any signs of weakness. Constantly being told by his father that 'Stark men are made of iron', which basically tells him that he cannot show anyone any emotion. Losing his closest friends whom he considered family. But oh my god, how DARE he be an asshole, right?" Peter glared at Bucky, who had shrunk in his seat.

"What do you have?" Peter asked Natasha. "He is a drunkard," the woman spoke emotionlessly. "Check your facts Spider. He has been clean for the last few years. And is constantly trying to improve himself. You, on the other hand, are a back-stabbing idiot who went after Mr. Good and Righteous and said, 'Iron man: Yes, Tony Stark: Not recommended' when it is Tony Stark behind the Iron man mask. Iron man and Tony Stark are the same," he said, irritated.

"You don't even try to speak you Patriotic Ass. I know what you're going to say," Peter's eyes met Steve, "He tried to kill Bucky, right?" On Steve's nod, Peter's eyes seemed to practically radiate anger, and everyone unconsciously leaned away from the furious boy. "Oh geez. I tried to hide the fact that my brain-washed best friend killed his parents. I fought him in the cave where he was on the defensive, not even trying to hurt me. He has a laser beam that can divide me into two. I broke his trust so bad that he flinches every time there is a threat to his arc reactor. I put my shield through his arc reactor in Siberia where he would have died and I wouldn't have given a fuck. But, then, how DARE he try to kill Bucky?" Peter snarled.

He met all the Rogue's eyes. "You are not heroes," he said decisively, "You are bullies who decided to gang up on a man who has constantly been ready to sacrifice his life for your sake." Peter tilted his head, staring at the squirming war criminals.

"Get out." he finally said. "Peter, Fury-," Tony tried. "I will speak to Nick Fury. Everyone has taken too much of you for granted. I am not letting it happen again. You, Rogues, get out." "You cannot throw us out of here," Clint tried.

Peter dramatically brought his hands up to his cheek, "Oh my god, really? Let's check the facts. You are all war criminals who don't have access to the tower. I am Mr. Stark's personal intern who has access to the whole tower. This tower belongs to Mr. Stark. The AI in this tower is fiercely protective of Mr. Stark.  And, oh my god, would you look at that? I have the clearance to throw anyone out of the tower. OUT," he snarled.

"Where will we go?" Wanda asked, trying to guilt-trip him. "You should have thought about it before you decided to gang up on the owner of the tower who DOES NOT OWN YOU A THING. I won't repeat myself. Until I decide that you are apologetic enough to Mr. Stark, you are not going to set a foot in the tower."

The Rogues got up slowly and mumbled apologies to Tony, who just nodded in their direction.

"FRIDAY, is all that recorded?" Peter asked, ignoring Tony. "Yes, Peter." "Great, cut and edit the parts from when the Rogues come to this moment. Make sure it shows me asking you to start recording. Blur out anything confidential. Also, add what I am going to say." Peter looked at the nearest camera, "All of you need to stop looking at Mr. Stark's short-comings and pretending as if you are fucking perfect. Mr. Stark is strong, incredibly so, but even he has a breaking point. You are taking all he has done for you all for granted. The day Mr. Stark breaks is the day the entire earth has to pay the cost, and I am not exaggerating. Appreciate Mr. Stark." He paused for a few seconds. "Did you get that FRI?" "I did Mr. Parker," the AI confirmed. "I want the video on all social media platforms and viral. Also, arrange a meeting with Nick Fury." "Got it, Peter."

"Kid," Tony exclaimed, "you don't need to do all this." Peter met the older's eyes, "I want to Mr. Stark. You protect the world, I protect you."

Tony Stark definitely did not cry.

Peter Parker definitely did not shout at Nick Fury.
