The hint in that statement is sort of lost to Peter, mostly because he's more focused on the fact that they'll be in the city and not out in the country where he'll be out of sight and out of mind. A logical part of his brain tells Peter that there's no out of sight, out of mind, not with Mr. Stark, otherwise they wouldn't be having this conversation right now. Peter was out of sight for five years. But the normal, teenage, emotional part of his brain just wants to focus on the part where maybe if Mr. Stark is in the city, then he won't forget that Peter's around, now.
His eyebrows lift a little with surprise at the comment that Morgan has heard a lot about him. "Really?" he asks. Peter is genuinely surprised about that even though if he thought about it for a moment, he wouldn't be. For all intents and purposes, Peter had been dead to them. People always tell their children about those they've lost and they always paint a rosy glow.
But then he's thinking about all the things he could show Mr. Stark's kid because it sounds like Mr. Stark is giving his blessing and he's wondering how much trouble he would be in with Ms. Potts if he scooped their kid up and swung around Queens to show her all the cool places she won't get to see when she's in Manhattan. Or if he'll be allowed to take her to a bodega or on the ferry or half a million other things that a kid who grew up in the country wouldn't have ever experienced.
Maybe if Morgan is a part of Peter's life, too, and he hers, then the sharing won't feel so bad.
"Does she know about Iron Man and Spider-Man and the Avengers and everything or is she too little...?" he finds himself asking.
