The tabloids and news went crazy when they heard the news that the two missing boys had been safely retrieved. They knew who Harry was already, but they were extremely curious about Peter who had only been mentioned once with Tony because he had won that scholarship. Tony, Peter, and Harry had a long conversation when they decided to go to Tony's place after the fight with Norman. They didn't have anything else to report that S.H.I.E.L.D. hadn't seen reported already, and there was plenty of incriminating evidence considering Norman had cameras recording the boys constantly, and S.H.I.E.L.D. even recovered some footage from Norman's spy cameras in the Parker's apartment. Peter didn't do much about his broken nose since he had already realigned it, plus it would most likely be healed by tomorrow morning. Peter collapsed on Tony's couch and took a much needed rest on a much more comfortable couch than was in that ridiculously lavish glass cage.
"Okay boys, you two crash in here tonight, and in the morning we'll have some serious talks and wait to see what the tabloids say."

Tony announced before he too collapsed on the couch beside Peter and Harry. They all three ended up falling asleep on the couch, Peter sandwiched between the two and Rhodey couldn't help but take a picture of the adorable scene when he went to check on them.

The Next Day....

"So, what are we going to tell the school? Oh no, we still have to text Ned and MJ! They've got to be worried sick!" Peter fretted.

"Don't worry Peter, I took care of a lot of that while you were still asleep. I've actually been in contact with your friends this whole time because they've been freaking out too."

Tony reassured Peter and Harry.

"By the way both of them are coming by today in case you want to look better for a certain girl Peter."

Tony grinned as Peter blushed deeply. He regrets ever telling Mr.Stark and Harry about his crush on MJ.

"The main thing we have to cover now is the media. I'll have Pepper schedule a Press Conference where we'll announce you two as staying under my care and that we don't want either of you being hounded by the press because you're both still minors. CPS won't be a problem, I've already handled things with them concerning both of you."

Tony said as Peter smiled with realization that he still has a home even if Aunt May and Uncle Ben aren't here.

"Do I have to reveal my spider powers, or will S.H.I.E.L.D. be covering that part of the story up?" Peter asked nervously.

"S.H.I.E.L.D. will definitely be keeping that a secret, especially since you are a minor. You don't have to worry about that. I'm just glad Norman wasn't able to take them away."

Tony said while Peter let out a relieved exhale.

"You guys are doing really well under the circumstances. Peter, never forget that I am so proud of you, and I know May and Ben would be too if they were here."

Peter smiled tearfully and asked solemnly "What's going to happen to me? I have no other relatives. I don't even know where to start when arranging funeral plans for May."

Peter continued sorrowfully.

"Peter, you never have to worry about where you'll stay, you'll always have a place here, May requested that I be your caretaker in the event of her death. I know I'm just your mentor, but I do think of you like a son, just nowhere near as creepy as Norman did. I've already handled some of May's funeral plans so you don't have to worry about that. I wish you didn't have to worry about it either way."

Tony said with sincerity as Harry stood by Peter trying to comfort him.

"I've already handled all the legal paperwork, so I have temporary guardianship of you both. You're both welcome here. The main thing we need to worry about is preparing what information we're allowed to release at the conference."
