Chapter Text
Tony had barely sat down upon returning home from a weekend conference, when his phone already began to buzz in his pocket. Happy: his assistant. He sighed, but proceeded to answer it anyway.
“I hope this is important, because I was really looking forward to avoiding society.”
“Yeah, I know, but I just wanted to ask-- is this Daredevil guy on your payroll?”
“I’m sorry,” Tony adjusted himself, sitting upright, “Dare-Who-Now?”
“Daredevil,” Happy repeated once again, “I was listening to the Bugle podcast on my way home today and that Jameson guy was ranting and raving that apparently, Spider-Man teamed up with some guy named Daredevil over in Hell’s Kitchen. They took down a major crime boss named Tombstone, left a note and everything, so it was definitely the kid’s M.O. I was wondering if we had an Avenger I didn’t know about or somethin’.”
Tony inhaled sharply as he could only think to himself: What the hell did Peter do this time?
“No…” He grumbled, “I don’t. Happy, get Peter on the line now and tell him if he doesn’t answer, he’s grounded.”
“Uh, he’s not your kid, Mr. Stark. I don’t think you have that ability.”
“Then I’ll make May ground him!” He promptly ended the call, tossing his phone to the side.
“Daredevil, huh?” He managed to huff out a laugh.
“Peter couldn’t have chosen someone with a lamer name if he tried.”
