    Summary

    Aunt May is dead. One drunk driver and Peter Parker is officially alone in life.

    He's too numb to be anything other than resigned when he's placed in a Catholic Home for Boys. And he's not Catholic, but he's pretty sure the Fathers aren't supposed to be as cruel as the ones that run this home.

    It's in this hell that Peter befriends the other boys in the care, including one Harley Keener, a sarcastic southener who shares an affinity for science. And so it's not even Peter's fault that he starts to teach the other boys how to code. They asked him to. And so what if the first thing they do is hack into Tony Stark's website. They aren't going to change anything.

    Tony Stark is not a father. He never will be a father, and the sooner Pepper admits that the better they all will be.

    However on a search for a new design to highlight at one of his charity galas, he stumbles across this random kid's old science project. Some dorky teen named Peter Parker. So naturally he just wants to talk to the kid. That's it. Nothing more.

    Summary

    Mr Harrington let the drum roll go on, laughing until the teenagers started to yell again, “Okay! Okay! Boys and girls, girls and boys… we have been invited on an exclusive tour of the one, the only, STARK INDUSTRIES!”

    Peter wasn’t sure if he was going to faint, throw up, or cease existing entirely.

    He knew he was hoping for the latter.

    ...

    Peter hasn't spoken to Tony in two months - not since their argument. It had been stupid really, and looking back Peter wasn't sure if he could even pinpoint what started it, but he hadn't been back to the Tower since. He had been too ashamed of his behaviour to face Tony, and had no intentions to return. But then, his class field trip is announced - to Stark Industries.

    Peter is determined to keep his head down, swallow his hurt at the genius' rejection, and get through this trip as smoothly and painlessly as possible.

    Tony isn't interested in seeing him anyway.

    Right?

    Summary

    An uneasy look passed between James and Remus, before their eyes were back on Regulus. The youngest took a deep breath to steady himself before speaking.

    “I know how to bring Sirius back.”

    The words brought forth the reaction he was expecting — which was an interruption. Despite his plea to let him get it all out, he’d know they wouldn’t be able to let him speak without saying something. They hadn’t last time, though he had been far less ready last time.

    “You can’t bring him back,” James was no longer spinning his wand. “Because he’s dead. You can’t bring the dead back, you don’t want to — it’s unnatural. I told you that’s what he wanted to say, didn’t I, Moony? Didn’t I? Well pass me my winnings, I was right!”

    ------------

    Regulus Black knew that he was one of the last people any of the Marauders -- Especially James Potter -- would ever want to see again, seeing as one of the last times they were all together Sirius was killed. They didn't believe his gut feeling that Sirius wasn’t truly dead, because they had all been there together when he died. Now, holding a years worth of proof, he needs their help to get his brother back.
