   Summary

   Peter Parker thinks he's managing quite well: Spider-Man, horrific foster parents, and Midtown. All he wants is to survive (though it's proving difficult to want even that anymore).
   That is until Tony Stark discovers him, and offers him an internship. The unexpected happens as Peter finds comfort in his new mentor, and struggles to hide not just being Spider-Man, but his home life.
