When you need me most

The hospital

Tony: (rushing through the hospital doors and to the front desk) Peter Parker, Where is he?!

Doctor: Are you family?

Tony: No but I'm Tony fucking Stark and you better take me to that boy right now

Doctor: yes, right this way sir.

Tony: He's lying on the hospital bed still out. I can see his healing abilities starting to work. I can't believe he had to find her like that.. Fuck.. What am I going to do with him? She was his last family member and I don't want to let him go. Looks like I'll take my spider home. I pick up the phone and dial Pepper's number.

Pepper: Tony? Is everything okay?!

Tony: No. (I explain the situation and tell her to start pulling up the legal files for adoption).

Tony: I bid Pepper a farewell then I start designing a bedroom next to mine so he has somewhere to sleep. I buy nerdy posters and science pun tee-shirts to fill his walls and dressers. I buy him some iron man boxers to maybe get a smile out of him. I buy first and new edition books and comics to line the walls with. I bought a foldable desk and chair to make him a study area. Then I add a Stark phone, computer, pad, all new edition models to his desk and of course I can't forget the headphones. I think getting him stuffed animals to put on his bed might be a bit much but I order plushies of all the avengers to put on there anyway. I am going to be a great dad 😞. God all the times I felt stirring in my groin around the boy and now I'm going to be his dad...aw fuck. I hear rustles from the bed and a weak whisper of Mr. Stark...

Peter: I wake up to a room filled with medical equipment. I have a raging headache then everything that happens comes crashing back. That's when I sit up and see my mentor and whisper his name. I start sobbing and he is abruptly up next to me grabbing my hand and saying stuff I focus on in his voice and start to calm down.

Tony: Ssh hey..Pete it's alright. Don't cry baby... It's okay hey I need you to breathe okay?

Tony: He starts to calm down and suck in air so I lean down and wrap him in a hug. He climbs onto me and holds with a death grip.

Peter: D..don't leave me.. Please.

Tony: Peter Hun, I'm right here I'm not going to leave you. How do you feel, you need anything?

Peter: My head hurts and I need some Medicine please.

Tony: After he reluctantly releases me. I call the nurse and she gets him taken care of.

Tony: Hey buddy, feeling any better?

Peter: humm want to go home..

Tony: Well shit I was hoping he wouldn't bring it up yet.

Tony: Peter, I know that things are going to be hard and that you are hurting. I want you safe, I care about you so I'm going to move you into the tower with me. You'll have your own room and everything. I know it's soon but I want to adopt you Pete..

Peter: I... You don't have to.. I couldn't save either one of them... I'm a failure...why?... I'm so broken....

Tony: Peter, none of that you are a strong young man much worthier than I could ever be. I don't ever want to hear you say that again, you are coming home with me end of story. It's not your fault sweetheart okay?

Peter: (let's out a weak sob) ... Okay. Thanks Mr. Stark.

Tony: oh Pete honey you don't have to thank me. I care about you and promise to do my best to help you and I am so sorry I wasn't there for you early on Pete, you truly are a wonderful young man.

Peter: I am shocked Mr. Stark never says sorry to anyone. Instead of talking I hug him and he just holds me and tells me it's going to be hard but it's going to get better.

Tony: I stayed at the hospital with Peter for two days before the doctor felt he was good to go. He healed well with his healing power. As we walk out of the hospital doors I start to speak.
