The Avengers find out a little after the portal incident that happens with Ladybug and Spiderman! The magic users tell Tony they sensed strong magic at work in the tower and Friday informs him of the reading being from the minion level of the tower.

This leads to a lot of questions and research and finally the team confronting Marinette and her friends. Faced with research and the evidence Marinette and just desperately wanting help and support tells them everything.

But after she was sure her friends thought she was only called on by Ladybug to help with the fight and not actually Ladybug. When they take that as the answer she calls her own meeting with the Avengers through Peter and tells them everything.

Hawkmoth. Mayura. And eventually Lila and her suspicion of the teen working with the emotional terrorist.

Thor holds a lot of respect for her, he still doesn't really understand why the others are horrified by her skills or age.

Wanda, Vision, Clint, Bruce and Steve are horrified at her age, the age she started the fight, and the sheer terror all of Paris was going through without them knowing.

Natasha, Bucky, and Tony are pissed. Pissed at Hawkmoth. Pissed at Mayura. Pissed at not knowing. And pissed at Fu for picking children.

Then hearing about Lila is a whole other thing. They know anyone is capable of being a sociopath, and that not all turn out to be as bad as the world's most known sociopaths, but to hear about Lila and how long she had been getting away with everything was disgusting and horrifying to them. Then to hear about Marinette’s suspicion that the teen could be working with the emotional terrorist? They don't want to believe the worst of someone so young but they also know they can't underestimate her just because she is young.

•Aunt May and Happy definitely show up to the tower because they heard about Peter's crush and they definitely are "not" planning on helping be wingmen for Peter along with the Minions.

•The group tries all they could to matchmake the two, even the Avengers join in and somehow it ends up being a competition to see which group can get the two together before the summer ends.

•There's a lot of fluff and chaos as it devolves into sabatoges XD

•Neither team wins. It's when they're in the Minion Lab and Peter is explaining the functions of his newest web fluid and what it should do and Marinette asks him follow up questions and actually shows interest like no one before, that he knows he can't let her go back to Paris without them going on a date. Of course if she said no he would respect that.

•So when she asked him a question about the web fluid, the specifics of the question he would never be ever to tell anyone as he hadn't heard them, he grabbed her hand and said, "Go out with me." There was a pause before he flushed bright red and tacked on a high-pitched, "please?:

•Marinette was probably redder than he when she responded with, "Like, a date? You want to go put on a date? With me?"

•"I mean, yes? Preferably. If not I could always take Ned but it wouldn't be the same and, I mean, he is my bro but I don't want to waste my Olive Garden gift card on a bro dinner...."

•Marinette said yes, of course and after that they kept going on dates up until it was time to return to Paris.

•Also, while no group won the contest, Friday won by herself as she told everyone pointedly that Peter would most likely ask out Marinette on his own. No one listened, so she has bragging rights now.

•Aunt May absolutely freaking adores Marinette and she's already planning the two's wedding. But her and Marinette bond over food as Aunt May teaches her many Jewish recipes and tells her classic Jewish fairy tales since Marinette seemed fond of them. In turn Marinette shares recipes she learned from her Mother and her Father and tells May French fairy tales.

•Peter is over the moon that the two like each other and yeah, maybe he's already smitten. Maybe he falls a little more in love each time Marinette asks him about his Jewish heritage and listens so intensely, even asking questions like when they're in the lab. He's more than happy to listen to her talk about her Chinese heritage and everything she is even still learning about.

The full story will come later I promise! I unleashed so many things onto myself but I have no regrets XD Though I shall share some headcanons with you guys about the AU in the mean time!

* Pepper has been a fan of MDC since she saw the designs for Penny and Jagged’s wedding attire. Her and Penny are friends and when she asked who made Penny’s dress and Jagged’s suit, Penny was all too happy to tell her and brag about Marinette and show her everything else Mari had designed for her and Jagged and others. 

* When Tony officially proposed, Pepper already knew who she wanted to make her dress. She could tell Tony was hesitant to ask MDC since she wasn’t that well known yet, but they both knew he couldn’t say no to her, so it was no surprise when she caught him looking at her website and commission prices. Later she pretended not to notice him calling Penny and asking for MDC’s email. Pepper liked to let him believe he could keep anything from her, it was the thought that counted. 

* Peter, Harley, MJ, and Ned are all excited for the wedding. Peter gets to be the flower boy which he is super happy about and Harley is the ring bearer. 

* MJ is also a fan of MDC

* The whole “Minion” squad are Jagged Stone fans. Peter’s favorite album may or may not be Rock Giant.  👀

*The Minion Squad are all off school for summer already, Marinette just started summer since it’s the beginning days of July. While the Minion Squad plans to help plan the wedding, invent, prank the Avengers, and just have some good summer fun, Marinette plans to work on her MDC commissions since she knew she would be getting a lot. Penny had given her a heads up. Besides, there wasn’t much friends she could hang out with since Luka had told her that him, his sister, and his mom planned to sail around for the summer. Anarka wantedd to get the kids out of Paris for a while. Chloe and Sabrina would be going on vacation with Chloe’s mom to Milan for two weeks and then to New York for a month so Chloe could see her mother’s business and get a feel of it and see if it is something she would want to take over. Kagami and her mother would also be leaving Paris to visit family in Japan. The only ones she would be able to hang out with would be Alix, Nathaniel, and Marc. 

* Then she gets the email from Tony. Freaking. Stark! She nearly faints! Okay. She faints. He actually wants Marinette to design and make his and Pepper Potts wedding attire!!! His email said that he would house her and her team for however long she needed for the consulting period and the beginning work of the outfits. Okay actually it said till the outfits were done but she would discuss that with him and Pepper when she got there because wedding dresses typically took 6-9 months to make. She figured she had time as he did specify they were planning a December wedding of next year, something about it being a Christmas present. 

* After she talks it over with her parents, she responds to Tony that she would love to design and make his and Pepper’s wedding attire but before the discuss anything further she would like for them to video chat. Tony agrees later that day, which is more than enough time for Marinette to set up at Jagged and Penny’s house, they officially bought a house in Paris yes, along with her mother and father so they could talk everything over with Mr. Stark. When the camera connects, Tony swears he must be rebooting because he did not think that MDC was a 16 year old girl, but he adapts quickly and understands now why she wanted to discuss the arrangement more.

* Tom and Sabine are even more delighted and on board on sending Marinette to New York when Tony offers to let her stay in Stark Tower/Avengers Tower with the heroes and his Minions. Marinette of course asks if she can bring some friends, they’re not officially her team but she would feel better having them there with her. Of course Tony agrees because he could practically hear Pepper scold him if he said no and they continue to set everything up while Marinette calls up Alix, Marc and Nathaniel and ask if they want to go with her to New York to go to the Avengers Tower. It takes too long in her opinion to convince them that no. she’s not joking, and yes she is serious. 

* Once they get their parents permission they plan to leave on Saturday which would be in two days. It’s a little hectic, especially because Marinette didn’t know if she should take the Miracle Box or not but in the end she decides to leave it with her mom and dad, aka the new Turtle and Fox heroes of Paris. They had found out she was Ladybug a little after she had become the Guardian because she had broken down. Everything had become too much for her and Tikki couldn’t stand to see her chosen like that so she told Tom and Sabine that their daughter was Ladybug. 

* Marinette was going to take the Horse, Mouse, and of course, Ladybug Miraculous, to New York though. Her mom promised that she would text her or call her as soon as she could if they spotted or heard an akuma, and that they would fight it off until she got there. 

* When Marinette and her friends get to New York and meet Tony, he can tell they’ve fought in a fight children shouldn’t have to, but he doesn’t know how to ask about it so he pushes it back till he can think of a way to approach the subject. He immediately takes a liking to Marinette, he can tell she’s smart for her age, and he just likes her energy. 

* Then Tony introduces them to his Minions and Peter, Ned, and Harley all have a collective freakout because they are meeting THE MDC. MJ is, of course, happy too but she can at least keep her cool when meeting the designer who made Jagged Stone’s iconic Eiffel Tower sunglasses, the one who designed his Rock Giant album art, and the one who made his Roaring Dragon Jacket! Peter asks Marinette if she can sign his copy of the album and Tony thinks it’s all down hill from there. He can see the kid’s blush from across the room. 

* The consultation happens and Pepper is just as surprised as Tony was when she learns MDC is only 16 but she hides it fairly well. Both are pleasantly surprised by Marinette’s professionalism and are pleased with the overall talk about what they want out of the design. Tony even manages to squeeze in another suit for Peter because he knows the kid and he is not letting him wear a rented tux to his wedding. 

* Tony and Pepper have dinner with the kids and the Minions and it’s decided that they can stay for the summer, and no Pepper don’t look at Tony like that it’s not because he’s trying to help Peter get a date for the wedding.

* Then Marinette meets the Avengers. Thor loves her, but like who doesn’t Thor love? And who doesn’t love Thor? She is super interested in learning about Asgard, especially its fashion and she even talks Thor into giving her some fabric samples to work with. He just loves her enthusiasm and he appreciates her letting him talk about his home and his people. Marc and Nathaniel get a great picture of the two of them sitting on Thor’s flexed arms. Marc also loves to hear about Thor’s home and people and Nathaniel loves to draw him and those he talks about. 

Natasha accidentally sneaks up on Marinette, she never means to do it, it is just how she is, so when this little girl turns around in a flash with a pencil held in her fist as a weapon her eyes narrowed looking for the danger, she is suprised and has to stop her own reflexes from sweeping the girls legs from under her. She respects Marinette’s reflexes and the two spar and Marinette tells her she used to do ballet when Natasha asks her why her turns and spins almost seem like she’s doing a dance and Natasha’s eyes light up. The two bond over ballet 

Bucky, Clint, and Steve meet her one morning when they go to the kitchen and find so many goodies to eat and see this tiny little girl singing to herself as she pulls muffins out of the oven. She turns to them and smiles and says good morning before introducing herself so they do as well. When Steve introduces himself her eyes narrow and she hisses out, “YOU.” He’s so confused until she starts tearing into him about him hero suit. Bucky and Clint of course love this moment and will cherish it forever. 

She meets Bruce and he’s heard of this little terror from Steve and he’s thinking she’s going to tear into Hulk about wearing only shorts but then she’s shaking his hand and saying it’s an honor to meet you Dr. Banner, apparently she’s read some of his papers. And Bruce can’t help but smile for the rest of the day. 

When Wanda meets her she just hugs the little girl for a while because she hadn’t meant to see how her ex friends had treated her back in Paris but she did and this child needed a hug. Marinette had just been asking what material her jacket was made out of so they had touched briefly, then she was being hugged, but she didn’t mind, she figured maybe Wanda was having an off day and needed a hug.

Vision had just looked at Marinette and said, “Miraculous.” nobody knew what he meant but Marinette did and she just put a finger to her lips with her eyes wide with panic. Thankfully he got what she was trying to say and gave her a nod and small smile. 

Tony said there was more people for her to meet but she would have the whole summer to do that so she was content. 

Yeah of course!! I'm so happy people have an interest in it!

• Steve will not admit that he is scared of the tiny, blue-hued, black haired Parisienne, but he is and Bucky knows it and finds it absolutely hilarious. But when he agrees to let her design a suit for him they get on better terms and actually have lovely talks about his mother and her favorite recipes. He even tells her about Peggy.

• A couple days later, Steve finds a folder on his bed filled with designs with a sticky note on top that says 'Pick your favorites please! -M :)' but it's what's under the folder that gets him. A small container that he opens up and can't help but tear up a little when he realizes Marinette made one of his mama's favorites; Blondies.

• Clint basically adopts Marinette at basically the same moment Natasha does, he tells her to call him Uncle Clint. He also teaches her how to shoot a bow while Natasha spars with her and Nat helps her get back into ballet.

• Wanda and Vision have also basically adopted Marinette but not in the pseudo auntie or uncle sense more in the second set of parents sense. Vision knows she is the Ladybug Miraculous holder, knows she is the Guardian, and just wants to protect her innocence and help anyway he can so she doesn't feel like Atlas with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Wanda is in the same boat basically, everytime she comes in contact with Marinette, the more she sees and the more she hates what Marinette has put up with.

• All the other Avengers think it's absolutely adorable that Wanda and Vision practically adopted Mari, all except Tony who is offended that they would even DARE. Pepper has to remind him in his logic, he can't pseudo adopt Marinette when he's already done so with Peter, and doesn't Tony want to see them together?

• Tony pouts for the rest of the day.

• The Avengers are totally elated at the thought that Peter and Marinette could become a couple but at the same time none of them can give the "shovel" talk to either one because they are both precious and should be protected.

• Those are exact words by the way. It came up during an official Avengers meeting.

• Pietro laughs when he finds out that his sister pseudo adopted some kid and immediately comes to check out the situation. Once he meets Marinette he rapidly accepts his role as Uncle Pietro. "Or Uncle Quicksilver. Both are cool I know, Squirt." (Yes he's alive i refuse to have him dead in my AU)

• Marinette hates being called Squirt but Uncle Pietro says it with such affection she won't say anything. Plus he calls Alix Tiny Tot which she thinks is worse by the way.

• The Avengers quickly find out that Marinette and her friends attract trouble when they save her multiple times in the city from small happenings. The first time it happened they thought it was just a little bad timing. By the fifth time they just started having someone accompany them.

• Scott comes to visit and immediately sets into Dad Mode with all the kids and while they won't admit it, the Avengers are jealous at his ease with the kids.

Aaaaaa thank you!!

I will give you specifically more Spiderbug from the au or as I love to call them, Lovebugs!

• When Peter first saw Marinette he absolutely had a fangirl moment, because Holy moly that's MDC!!! But after that initial moment, he finds himself constantly in awe of her.

• Not only is she a fashion genius, but she actually likes to listen to him ramble about his "nerd" stuff! And she's smart! Not to mention really pretty.

• MJ and Ned and totally not subtle in their matchmaking attempts. Why do they keep trying!?

• An example of their horrible matchmaking attempts was the time Peter was showing Marinette some of his invention designs and the lights dimmed, a fog machine was activated from somewhere, and then Kiss The Girl was blasting from the Tower's level 16 speakers [the Minion floor as Tony called it.]

• Marinette also thinks that Peter is super cute and her friends are also trying to play matchmaker, but their version of matchmaker is pushing Marinette (lightly) into Peter as often as they can. They think they are so smooth.

• Every single time they do that Peter catches Marinette and she is so flustered because he is so strong??? But he look so lanky??? Then one day she went to the Tower gym for a workout and accidentally saw Peter without a shirt and let's just saw she couldn't look him in the face for the rest of the day but she UNDERSTOOD now.

• Marinette found it super endearing that Peter asked her to sign everything he owned that she worked on for Jagged, she watched the boy dig around his "Minion Hut" for everything he had just so she could sign.

• She was also in absolutely horror when she found out he planned to wear a rented tux to Pepper and Tony's wedding, she thought Tony was joking, but when Peter confirmed he was not, she nearly tossed the boy. She immediately agreed to make him a suit as well.

• Peter also is a little miffed with Mr. Stark because he knows he only asked Marinette and her friends to spend the summer there so that Peter might ask Marinette to be his plus one to the wedding. Though he doubts she wouldn't be invited anyways so what does it matter MR STARK!?

• Marinette doesn't know what it is but sometimes she just gets super nervous and jumpy around Peter without knowing why. She knows he's not a threat but sometimes her "Ladybug" instincts are yelling at her that she's prey around him.

• Also...she noticed something weird when she and him go out somewhere for lunch, bugs don't go near Peter, but spiders sometimes just hover near him.

• Then there was the Akuma she had to sneak away too, she didn't know that Peter had gone to her room because something inside him was telling him Marinette was in danger. She didn't know he saw the portal open in her room and dark pigtails in it, so naturally he followed. She didn't know until the portal closed and she turned around.

• The Akuma fight didn't last long thanks so the help of Spiderman. Yeah...they had a long long talk when they both returned to the Tower.
