    Summary

    The wind blowing in Peter’s hair reminds him of his time swinging through the city, soaring high above skyscrapers and believing he was on top of the world. And maybe he was, when he was saving lives and taking on challenges made for someone twice the hero he was. He was in way over his head, way over everyone’s heads, and he was free.

    But Tony flies in a straight line, and Peter doesn’t feel like a hero.

    Summary

    “I can’t do this again.”

    “I know,” said Tony.

    “But what if I really can’t?” said Peter.

    “What if Peter Parker finally breaks?” said Tony. Peter nodded against his shoulder. “Well, I don’t know what that looks like. But I know that I’ll still be here. And I’ll still love you even in a million pieces. So we know that much.”

    Summary

    “Oh my god.”

    The glass was impossible for Peter to break, but he could still hear through it. He could even kind of hear the voice coming through the comm device in the guy’s ear.

    “Buck? Talk to me.”

    Peter recognized that voice, but his brain was too fuzzy to pinpoint it. The tests that the scientists had put him through hadn’t been too horrible so far, but the constant triggering of his Spidey sense had overloaded all his heightened senses. It was hard to retain anything through the migraine, as if words were pouring around the sides of his brain and sliding off.

    “It’s a kid.”

    Summary

    It was… a child.

    A teenage boy, his face pale and his eyes impossibly wide. The kid looked like he’d been dragged backward through a hedge, his hair wild and greasy and his clothing disheveled. His face was bruised, and, rather alarmingly, red friction burns circled his wrists.

    “I-Iron Man?”

    What the fuck.

    “You know, I get that a lot,” said Tony, lowering the gun.

     

    Or: in a dystopian AU where Ross won and the Avengers are forced into hiding, Tony is on the fast track to becoming an antisocial recluse full of hatred for the world. But maybe an enhanced teenager stumbling upon their safe house could change all that.

    Summary

    The sun sets.
    Peter breaks three toes and hits his head hard against concrete. There’s a steadily bleeding wound in his side that he’s staunched with his webbing and tries not to acknowledge it when it burns.
    He can still walk in a straight line, which is good.
    He’s starving and tired and cold.
    It’s been fifteen hours.

    Or, Peter doesn't take any breaks during a lengthy fight with the Avengers. The mind-melting fever that follows really should have been expected.

    Summary

    Peter just wanted somebody to ask him if he was okay. It didn't matter who asked; anybody would do. He was desperate, for someone to show that they cared about him—really cared about him, both the internal and external parts of himself, both his mental and physical health, beyond just his two alter egos—because there were two: Spider-Man, and Peter Parker.

    At this point, he suspects one "Are you okay?" is all it would take for his masquerade to come crumbling down.

    Summary

    Peter Parker thinks he has a pretty decent life. Sure, some things may have gone wrong here and there, but for the most part, things are okay. Good, even.

    Summary

    “Do you believe me?” Tony asks quietly.

    Peter shakes his head, turning to completely hide his face in Tony’s shoulder.

    He expects Tony to get mad, or insulted, but he doesn’t. He responds with all the love and support and patience in the world, his voice as gentle as always.

    “That’s okay,” he whispers. “I’ll remind you every day until you do.”

    Summary

    When the boy became aware, he was already sitting up and awake. He was assaulted by sound, by taste, by colors and people and movement - too loud, too much. He jerked back from the painful onslaught and tried to grab his head, but his hands were tied down to the arms of the metal chair he was sitting in.

    Summary

    Peter looks down at his hands. The two regenerated fingers aren’t the same color as the others - they stick out, even at just a glance. “I wasn’t always like this.”

    “No, you weren’t, but you work all the same.” Tony folds the kid into his arms, slowly, so he can break away if he needs. Peter lets himself be held - he’ll let Tony hold him in an infant’s cradle on the couch, sometimes. He’d never in front of anyone else, but sometimes when the episodes are long and deep, Tony has to do something with his hands.

     

    (Tony tries to help Peter with the aftermath of extensive and extended torture.)

    Summary

    I’ll kill you and everyone you love. I’ll kill you dead.

     

    Peter closes his eyes to keep the world from spinning. His panic sits like putty in his throat, blocking the air from reaching his lungs. He wraps his fingers around his neck, his pulse erratic underneath like he had just finished running a mile.

    Come on Peter. Come on Spider-Man.

    Summary

    A full-body flinch courses through Peter. It’s not alarming--just a neurological tic of exhaustion that has Tony on his feet and crossing the small patch of distance left between them to sit on the nearest corner of the coffee table.

    Peter opens his eyes and blinks up at Tony, or rather at the shadow that falls over his pale face, and gives a tiny wave that under any other specific set of circumstances would be downright ridiculous. “Hi, Mr. Stark.”

    “Hi, kid. Wanna talk?”

    Peter goes to open his mouth but hesitates. They both know he’s too intelligent to play the innocent card now. The words replay themselves of their own accord in Tony’s mind--instant kill, instant kill, instant, kill, kill--

    One good look at Peter’s eyes confirms the kid is on the same page.
    ---
    When Tony gets the alert that Spider-Man has activated Instant Kill Mode for the first time, he expects to see May being kidnapped on the footage, or maybe Ned or even MJ. The last thing he expects is to see Peter with his fingers wrapped around the neck of a random teenager. Lying in the shadows under a coffee table, Peter finally pours out to Tony the details of his troubled past.

    Summary

    Peter’s fine, ok? The library in Queens is surprisingly a lot warmer than the one in Nashville, and bonus (!) stays open most of the night. He’s got a job at the docks (he might have hedged a *little* about his age) and La Guardia is only a few miles away. With any luck, he’ll have that ticket to Italy in two months—if he can just quit spending so much on food.

    And here’s the thing. He’s not going to be in New York long. After all, he never knew Uncle Obie to break a promise and he's pretty sure that persists even in death. Or 10 years of being missing. But as long as he keeps his head down, They’ll be safe. After all, he’s totally fine!

    Now only if that nice couple down the street would stop trying to feed him…

    //A Peter-is-Tony-and-Pepper’s-Missing-Son-But-Thanks-To-Obadiah-He-Decides-Not-to-Tell-Them trope-y story, filled with our favorite tags, our favorite family, and a bit of intrigue.//
