The realisation that he could still be taken away, despite all the work Pepper had already done and May's will, left Peter feeling shaken. If he had to go somewhere else for just one night it'd be difficult, but he could handle that. Anything more than that sounded unbearable. What if Catherine refused to let Tony sign the papers? It was difficult to push these thoughts away, and he stayed silent as Tony talked. He kept glancing from Tony to Catherine, trying to see any sign of what she was thinking. Her face remained neutral though, and didn't give anything away. Peter didn't laugh at Tony's comment about Thor, though he did give a faint smile. All the Avengers had a supple of their favorite snacks. It wouldn't be the first time one of them found their supply had run dry thanks to a certain god. He had already been told multiple times to leave it alone - some had been more kind about it than others - but either he didn't listen or he genuinely didn't realise he was doing something wrong. Peter tended to believe the first option. Thor still didn't understand many things about Earth, stuck as he was in his Asgardian ways, but Peter was convinced he knew more than he let on and used it as a 'get out of jail free' card.<br/><br/>Peter's smile grew as Tony described their family. It was true. All of them were a family. Definitely a strange family, but one nonetheless. They all cared deeply about one another and accepted each other's flaws. They all looked after one another, through the good and bad. They all had their problems, and sometimes they argued, but in the end everyone had each other's backs. It was a good family to be a part of. Catherine seemed to agree with it. She nodded as Tony finished talking and gave them a warm smile. "I can see you care deeply about him. I'm sorry if it seemed like I was attacking you, but I need to be sure Peter is safe. Love alone isn't enough." For just a moment there was a dark look in her eyes, but then she pulled herself together and it was gone. She placed the papers back in the folder. "I see no reasons why Peter can't stay with you." Peter visibly relaxed at those words, the tension leaving his body as he let out a sigh of relief. He could go home with Tony.<br/><br/>Catherine turned her focus back on Peter. "I'll remain your caseworker for the next year. I'll be making some unannounced visits occasionally to check up on you. I don't expect to find anything, it's just standard procedure." She reached in her purse and took out a business card that she held out to Peter. "If there's ever anything you want to know or ask, or anything you'd like to tell me, you can call or email me." Peter took the business card, glancing down at it to see a mobile phone number and an email address. He didn't expect to ever use it. Catherine gathered her things and stood up. She turned back to look at Tony. "Someone from our office will come over tomorrow with the neccessary paperwork." She glanced at her watch. "I need to go to another case." She looked tired as she held out her hand to Peter. "It was a pleasure to meet you, Peter." Peter took the offered hand with a small smile. "Thank you, mrs Anderson." She smiled. "Please, call me Catherine." Peter just nodded. She then held out her hand to Tony. "Good evening, mr Stark."
