Chapter Text
Tony grumbled as F.R.I.D.A.Y woke him up telling him that Spideyboy had entered the building and was coming down. Checking the time he did not realize that it was already 3 P.M. He might have accidentally stayed up all night and then slept only at nine in the morning but it wasn’t his fault. Tony cleaned himself up the best he could before Peter came down as the boy was a worried kid. And speak of the devil the kid came walking in setting his bag down on the ground.
“Hey Mr.Stark! Are we going to work on the suit some more?” He asked sitting down on the chair wheeling over to the tired man.
As Tony thought of it he decided that maybe today they could have a bit of a break today. He felt a little bad as Peter seemed to be rather excited to work on his suit but right now the scientist was just too tired and stressed to think.
“Actually, how would you feel about traveling around town? We could go sightseeing and just have a hang out day.”
Peter deflated a bit but quickly sprung up again realizing that it would be a day of fun with Tony. The two never really acknowledged it but they really just wanted some quality father and son bonding time. So Peter quickly texted Aunt May that they were going out around town and followed Tony back into the elevator. Tony was really trying to decide whether or not he wanted to dress up as a tourist or just suffer with people recognizing him. He decided in the end to do a mix. He changed into more comfortable presentable clothes that didn’t have grease stains all over it and just put on his nice pair of sunglasses before notifying F.R.I.D.A.Y to tell Happy to get a car ready for him.
“Of course sir. Will he be driving you today.”
“No, but Peter and I will be gone the whole day,” Tony responded as he checked himself out once more before going out to meet up with Peter.
Peter was hanging out in the lobby talking to some of the other interns before noticing Tony walk up.
“Hey Mr.Stark! Is that really what you are gonna wear?” Peter snickered looking his dad up and down.
Stark snorted posing for the boy,” For your information, this is called the classy tourist look. Much better than what you are wearing.”
“Oh really? I think it more looks like ‘help I don’t know how to dress myself properly so I just had a five year old dress me’. And the five year old is you,” Peter sassed back as the other interns watched in amusement.
Tony acted shocked hurt by the comment before ruffling up Peter’s hair before beckoning him to follow. Peter tried his best to fix up his hair before waving goodbye to the others before running after Tony. Once outside Happy greeted them with his usual grumpy self throwing Tony the keys.
“Finally, going out on a date today?” Happy teased.
“No, just going out on a good ‘ol father son date with Peter.”
Peter waved happily at the two as he finally caught up to Tony. “Hi Happy! Mr.Stark is taking me out around Queens today!”
Happy just grunted something that Peter couldn’t understand but could almost hear a ‘have a good time and stay safe kid’. Peter waved goodbye to Happy before entering the car sitting next to Tony who was already choosing out a song.
“What are we feeling today kid? Some classical? Rap? Or maybe those weird podcasts you listen to,” Tony asked as he scrolled through the playlist.
“Uhh, how about you choose Mr.Stark?”
Tony raised an eyebrow wondering why the boy would ever him choose the music as Peter always complained on whatever he chose. Shrugging he continued to scroll through looking for some of the best hits of the 90’s thinking that he wouldn't let Peter suffer too much. Once Tony got the 90’s playlist on they were on their way to nowhere in particular. At one point Peter started looking up some tourist sights to go see as it would be aimless to just wander around New York. Finally, they both decided on the New York State Pavilion as Peter wanted to get some good pictures with Tony against the scenery. Especially that the weather was rather good today they both thought that nothing could go wrong. But holy hell did they make a mistake.

Upon going to the Pavillion it was all rather chill. Tourist were wandering around and enjoying the sights as people were even having some picnics here and there. It was all chill until for some reason a goddamn wormhole just had to open up sending out a weird looking glob of sorts with a man around Starks age who was wearing a rather majestic red cape jumping out after the glob. Just as Tony was ready to push Peter back to get to a safe spot the strange man blasted the glob to pieces sending disgusting green bits everywhere mostly hitting Stark who was protecting Peter at that point. At that point of time most of the other tourist had ran away leaving just Stark, Peter and the man who had saved their lives (but Tony to be honest, thought that he could have killed the monster much better and cleaner). After adjusting from shock that the fact he had gunk all over his (maybe thousand dollars) clothes he checked on Peter making sure his kid was safe.
“You didn’t get any of that goo on you right?” He asked checking the boy all over making him lift up his arms. “Nothing feels weird? Everything feels normal?”
Peter groaned pushing the man away. “Yeah yeah I’m fine Mr.Stark. But you however…” The boy stared at him grinning from ear to ear. “ I really love the makeover you had done.”
Tony swore he was going to kill the boy but before he did that he was going to have a rather long talk with the strange man who had ruined his clothing. Turning around he was getting ready to destroy the man but was stopped (one could say lovestruck) as he actually looked the man over. He had dark brown hair pushed back with some hairs popping out here and there with stormy grey eyes and a stylish blue outfit matching his red cloak and a strange glowing pendant hanging from his neck.
“Hello there. Are you okay? I’m very sorry that it got rather messy,” The man said walking up to the two. “My name is Stephen Strange or just Dr.Strange.”
It was the first time that Tony had ever stuttered before as he answered back. “M-my name is Tony Stark and this boy is Peter.”
Peter waved shyly at Strange from behind Stark. Strange held out his hand and Tony took it. As they shook hands Tony swore he felt sparks when he held Stephen’s hand and he suddenly became to overwear about the fact that his hands might be dirty from the gunk and started freaking out in his mind. Like what if he got Stephens hand dirty and then the man hated him? What would he do next? Would he have to have Peter drive them back because Tony would be freaking out too much? At this point, the man was overthinking everything at this point and was quickly snapped back into reality as Peter spoke up.
“So Dr.Strange what was that thing?” The kid asked excitedly. “And what was that weird looking hole?”
“I’ll tell you all about it after we get Tony some new clothes and after some dinner,” Stephen said laughing a bit at the kid's enthusiasm.
Tony was about to argue as he was not about to get his car dirty or walk anywhere with the disgusting green all over him until Strange opened up another portal directing the two to follow him. Tony was hesitant at first but had to follow along in the end as Peter practically ran through into it after Strange. So he whispered a goodbye just in case he would die and walked through the portal after his kid and Strange.
