#could go

He is the sweetheart of the jail. Everyone either likes him or respects him enough to leave him alone.

He helps people study for their GEDs or college courses. He has a job in the concession. He helps people put money on their books so they can buy commoncery(sp?).

He fixes the electronics that people have or helps repurpose them. Whether it is a tattoo gun or fixing someone's radio. He helps out.

He gets along with the guards. No one messes with him.

They show him a handful of scanned index cards, he see one that seems simple enough.

So when Tony came back from another accords meeting, he was about to order a thing of burgers before Friday told him that Peter made him dinner before he left for patrol.

There on the kitchen counter is a bowl already set up, steam still rising up from it. Tony must have just missed Peter. He sits down and stares at the soup. He stirs it a bit before sitting down. It's been years since he has had this soup from the looks and smell of it

Pastina in chicken brodo.

He takes a few bites and tears well up.

It tastes just like his mom's. She made this for him a week before they died.

Hear my prompt out okay

There are programs you can sign up for if you are part of the LGBTQ+ getting married/big event and you have no one to support you/walk you down - basicly be your stand in family cause you don't have people who are willing to be there

( it's a really good organization, and I recommend looking up Stand In Pride )

So Peter uses this program

Option 1) Either everyone in the family is dead

Option 2) Go for homophobic Aunt May

And he gets paired up with Tony Stark who grew up with a father that looked down on his non heterosexual and his Father never went to any major event so he wanted to stand in for people so they don't feel alone. He keeps this on the downlow, NDA's signed that they can't talk about him standing in but free to share the videos/photos

Depending on the route you wanna go

Option A) it's for Peter's College graduation

Option B) it's for Peter's Wedding

Tony: Wear your coat and gloves and a hat

Bucky: Don't go outside

Everyone else in the room: 😮

Now time lines fiddled and aged up Peter and no Tony figuring out Peter is Spiderman - he got busy okay

Like always someone tries to frame Bucky with the bombing. But this time Bucky comes forward. Walking straight into Stark Tower.

Steve is beside himself cause he has been looking for Bucky. After he ran into him 6 years before and when he was dragged out of that river it was his mission to try to find his friend.

Turns out Bucky has been in NY the whole time. And the team is surprised. And when Bucky states his case and why he came out of hiding. Well he was busy during the time of the bombing.

" We were getting a Christmas tree. And it had to be a real one. "

" I'm married and got two kids"

" Live in Queens"

" Stay at home Dad"

And when asked how his marriage was legal? Well he said he went in to get a new social. New name. Said he was Amish so no records. Then he got married and took his husband's name.

" I go by James Parker now."

" We adopted Miles 2.5 years ago, he just now getting into high school"

" We fostered Ellie- actually know her dad and he splits his time with us.... reason I don't got to work cause he pays me to watch over her. Would of for free, she's ours but ya know"

Maybe even shows a photo of them picking out the tree. One Peter Parker talking to the tree guy trying to haggle. Wade Wilson running around playing hide and seek with Ellie and Miles. A family photo, Peter and Bucky arms around each other's waist standing behind the couch. Wade sitting on the floor with Miles and Ellie on the couch sitting in the middle. You can even see Alpine lounging on the arm of the couch as well.

But you also see the menorah on the mantel.

" Peter and I are Jewish but ya know Miles and Ellie grew up with Christmas so we gonna make sure they get one"

" Oh and Peter is Spiderman and I think you know by know who Wade is"

Miami will be underwater soon. Its drinking water could go first

One morning in June, Douglas Yoder climbed into a white government SUV on the edge of Miami and headed northwest, away from the glittering coastline and into the maze of water infrastructure that makes this city possible. He drove past drainage canals that sever backyards and industrial lots, ancient water-treatment plants peeking out from behind run-down bungalows, and immense rectangular pools…
