    Summary

    After the break-up of the Avengers and enactment of the Registration Act, Peter is kidnapped and forcibly recruited to become a soldier for Tony Stark. The famous Avenger is trying to rebuild his team - an army - to fight in an upcoming war. Except, Peter has no interest in being a soldier and does all that he can to escape his new life.

    However, it's not easy to outsmart or beat the great Tony Stark.

    Summary

    "What sounds more likely to you? It's not a trick, I'd genuinely like to know what you think. Is it more likely that you were bitten by a radioactive spider on a field trip, and that by some miracle this didn't kill you, instead gifting you with fantastical abilities, or that you witnessed something deeply tragic and extremely traumatising — traumatising for anybody, but especially so for a child — and your brain formed this fantastical world as a way to cope?"

    Peter doesn't answer. Around the lump in his throat, he can't. He sets his jaw, but a hot tear rolls down his cheek anyway, followed by another, and another.

    "I'm not crazy," he whispers.

    "Of course not, you're simply unwell."

     

    ~~

     

    When Peter finds himself in an unfamiliar place, with no memory of how he came to be there, they tell him he has relapsed. They tell him Spider-man is just a character he invented to cope with trauma, that everything that has happened to him over the last two years is a figment of his imagination.

    But Peter knows the truth.

    Doesn't he?

    Summary

    *Previously titled "A Beautiful Lie"
    . . .
    . . .

    Head Down. Mouth shut. Quiet. Survive.

    Peter knows the drill. Richard Parker has been carving it into him for years now. Follow. Repeat. Do as you're told. But things get complicated after Germany, after Tony Stark. And suddenly the line starts getting blurry.

    Meanwhile, with the Avengers scattered and the Accords in pieces, Tony's a mess who's ready to crash and burn. Enter Spider-Kid, complete with bruises, excuses and a deep, dark secret that stretches far further than Tony first thought.

    Disjointed, dysfunctional, disastrous.

    Nothing can seem to describe the sheer catastrophe in waiting that lurks closer every second they spend together. Tony's depressed. Peter's afraid. They're both wrecks apart. Imagine the chaos that would come by putting them together.

    Still, who better to help a hero than another hero?
