“I guess I've been graduated to Doctor.”
“Morgan, I don't think that's how that works.” Peter deadpans.

All my focus is concentrated on one spot. Peter's open wound. “I'm about to do the first stitch, count to five for me.” He starts, but I poke through his skin on “two” instead of “five.”

“See, not so bad.” I pat his back with my free hand before continuing to suture him up. One stitch must have been in a bad spot since he audibly states, “Ouch.” I ignore him and continue.

“I thought you had super strength.” Happy chimes in.
“Still hurts.” My patient responds.
“He'd be a lot worse if Beck didn't throw me in front of the train. Without my wings, who knows if he would have even woken up.”

“You don't give me enough- oh, my god- credit, Morgan.” That's the last one. I tie it off and pat his back again.

“There we go. I can kiss it better if you want.” He groans, and I kiss the sore on his cheek.

“Now, let's all just calm down and relax for a minute.” Happy didn't mean to, but he struck one of Peter's nerves.

“How can I relax when I messed up so bad?” He shoots up out of his chair. “I trusted Beck, right? I thought he was my friend. So I gave him the only thing Mr. Stark left behind for me. Now he's going to kill my friends and half of Europe. So please, do not tell me to relax.”

Peter sits back down, running his hands through his hair. “I'm sorry, Happy. I'm sorry. I shouldn't shout. I just really miss him.”

His eyes meet mine when I go and stand beside him, leaving a comforting hand on his shoulder. “We all miss him, Peter.”

“Everywhere I go... I see his face. And the whole world is asking who's going to be the next Iron Man. And I don't know if that's me, Happy. I'm not Iron Man.” It breaks my heart to hear Peter like this. His voice breaking and tears running down his face. But right now isn't my time to help, he's looking for Happy's guidance.

“You're not Iron Man. You're never going to be Iron Man.” Way to help Happy Hogan.

“Nobody could live up to Tony. Not even Tony. Tony was my best friend, and he was a mess. He second-guessed everything he did. He was all over the place. The one thing he did that he didn't second-guess was picking you.” I take it back, Happy, I'm sorry I even doubted you.

“I don't think Tony would have done what he did if he didn't know that you were gonna be here after he was gone. Now, your friends are in trouble, you're all alone, your tech is missing. What are you going to do about it?”

Happy doesn't realize that I'm out of retirement for a minute.

Peter stands up and wraps his arm around my waist. “We're gonna kick his ass.” Out of pure excitement, I jump up and scream, “Hell yes!”

“I mean, right now. Specifically, what are we gonna do? We've been hovering over a tulip field for the last fifteen minutes.” Oh, yeah. 'He does have a point.'

“Right, I can't call my friends because he's tracking their phones. Uh, give me your phone?”
“My cell phone?”
“Yeah.”
“Okay, here.”
“What's your password?”
“Password.”
“No, what is your password?”
“'Password' spelled out.”
“You're the head of security, and your password is 'password'?”
“I don't feel good about it either.”

After that whole debacle, Peter checks Flash's Instagram, and without fail, he is live streaming.

“They're in London.”
“London, okay.
“Yeah, I need a suit.”
“Happy! Show him the new thing!” I shout with glee.
“I was just thinking the same thing.'

Happy presses a button up front and a secret little lab forms in front of our eyes.

Peter instantly starts fiddling around, swapping pieces and trying on holograms.

“You take care of the suit, I'll take care of the music.” As Happy goes to turn on music. I just watch Peter work.

“Hey, Morgan, can this thing make your suit?” I shake my head. “Then what are you going to do?” I think about it for a second.

“Really, the only thing I can do is summon it and hope it gets here in time.”

AC/DC starts to play. “Oh, I love Led Zeppelin.” I think I may shoot my brains out.

“Peter, we need to get you checked out, asap.”
