   Summary

   Tony Stark does not care about people.

   This is an established fact.

   Then Peter Parker becomes his intern.

   Tony tells himself he's simply being a responsible employer.

   OR

   Peter Parker is very good at pretending.

   Tony Stark is unfortunately very good at noticing.

   Neither of them is particularly good at telling the truth..especially Peter, who is hiding more than Tony ever realizes.
