    Summary

    Peter makes a joke about dying in the car on the way home from a mission. It's the kind of thing he says all the time. Throwaway. Casual. Muscle memory.

    Pepper doesn't laugh. She also doesn't take the exit for the Tower.

    Summary

    Peter never made any plans to run away, until the day he leaves. It isn’t an idea that slowly creeps up on him. He just stands over the sink one day in early spring, watching his father’s bright red ashtray bob up through the soap bubbles, and feels an overwhelming urge to get the hell out of this place.
    Two years later. Tony Stark has been keeping his identity as Iron Man a secret, successfully hiding behind his spoiled, rich asshole persona. It’s isolating, but he doesn’t even like people anyway, so it’s fine, he’s fine, he’s great. And then he gets saddled with a new intern, who isn’t just hiding secrets: he’s barely holding it together.

    Summary

    “So what have you been up to this weekend?”
    “Family picnic,” Peter says.
    “Oh, great, great fun,” Tony says and swipes away from the article about Spider-Man wrestling a giant spider on the roof of the Chrysler building.
    It’s quite obvious that Tony knows he is Spider-Man, but decided not to acknowledge it; decided to keep the secret going. For what reason, Peter doesn’t know. Maybe Tony thinks he can use the information in his favor, or maybe he just doesn’t want Peter to freak out. Either way, it serves Peter just fine, because Tony tries so hard to keep up his oblivious act that he never prods too hard or looks too deep.
    Which means all of Peter’s far bigger secrets are still safe.

    Summary

    They weren’t sure the how or the why of it, they just knew Peter wasn’t gonna get better.

    And in the end, everyone just wants permission to let go.
