SpiderMan Avengers One shots Dad!Tony

Hey, Kid

Hey, Kid

It's been a week since the snap. I know it's stupid that I'm writing you these letters, but Steve said that it might help me grieve. He wrote letters to Bucky when woke up, and now he has to do it again. It's odd, half the universe is gone, even Fury and Hill. For some reason, you, a teen from Queens, are giving me the hardest time. It's not like we've even known each other for that long anyway, but before the snap, it seemed hard to remember life without you. But I guess I'm learning what it's like again. I was supposed to protect you. I failed. I'm so sorry, kid.

Hey, Kid

It's funny, I've always feared that you would get hurt on a mission. I've always assumed that I would miss our big movie and lab nights. I do, god, I really do, but it's the smaller things that make the tower seem so empty. I miss when you get excited about something and ramble about it forever. It annoyed the hell out of me at the time, but I miss when you called me 'Mr. Stark'. I miss you so much, it's so empty, and everything is just boring. It's like thier a hole in the shape of you in my heart, and no matter what I try thier is nothing else that will fill it.  I'm so sorry, underoos, so sorry.

Hey, Kid

It's been a full year. I still can't believe you are gone. I just got back from the memorial service in DC. I gave a speech and everything. I didn't even say something stupid. I made sure thier was a big picture of Spider-Man next to all of the other heroes. That's where you belong, you are a hero. You actually too good for the Avengers, Underoos. We all have a deep dark side, and evil side even. You don't, you are selfless and brave. You genuinely want to help everyone you meet even if they were a complete dick to you. It's weird, everyone keeps asking me about what it is like to be Spider-Man's mentor. In all honesty, I've probably learned more from you than you have from me. Even though it has been so long, I still miss you every day. I'm so sorry. God, it should've been me.

Hey, Kid

I suppose I owe you a really big one. After all, that little plot twist you pulled on me where you denied the invitation to be an Avengers so you could protect the little guy (again, you are way too good for us) Pepper and I were forced to announce our engagement. I'm happy you made it to the wedding before the shit hit the fan. In any case, not even a full day ago, Pepper gave birth to a little girl. Her name is Morgan. She's not even a day old but I love her so much, and there is nothing I wouldn't do for her. I hope you know that your kind of like my first kid. There is nothing I wouldn't do for you either. I wish I could bring you back, bring all of them back. Nothing is working out, though. Pepper convinced me that you'd want me to move on, that you'd want me to be happy.  I still think it's kind of a lame excuse that the living makes up to justify how they can move on in life. Nonetheless, I decided that it's probably time to stop sulking and at least try to move on. I will still never forget about you, and a day will never pass where I don't miss you or wish you were here.

Hey, Kid

Welp, I figured out time travel. I'll show you my research when you get back. That way we can nerd out about it together. If you do get back, though, I'm burning all of these letters because this is probably the stupidest thing I've ever done in my life. But, Steve was right, it does kind of help. It's almost like I am talking to you. No matter what the other Avengers say, no matter what the media says, I want you to know that I did this for you. I figured out time travel so I could get you back. No matter what happens to me, do not feel guilty about that. I did this because you are an amazing kid, and you deserve to live. The world needs Spider-Man. Most importantly, the world needs Peter Parker, the nerd from Queens. I don't know what is going to happen, but I have to do this to save you because I couldn't protect you or save you earlier. You are young, you have so much left to do on this Earth. If I think too much, I can still see you on the god-awful planet, disappearing in my arms. I remember what you said, 'I'm sorry,' and goddammit kid I thought I told you to stop apologizing. You have absolutely nothing to be sorry for, you are of the best people in the world, they need you whether they know it or not. I still miss you, kid, but I'll see you soon. I love you.

Hey, Mr. Stark

I read all of your letters. Happy gave them to me at the funeral. Morgan is just like you, she is already a genius and is going to rule the world one day, I swear. I can't believe you are really gone. I don't want to believe you are really gone. You get mad at me for being self-destructive, but you don't realize how much the world needs you. If it weren't for Stark Industries, the world wouldn't have all the technology it does have. It wouldn't have clean energy sources or anything else. If it weren't for Ironman, the world would have been taken over a long long time ago. And if it weren't for you, Tony Stark, the world wouldn't have someone to look up to. To idolize and to want to be like. You taught me how to be a hero, you, Mr. Stark, not Ironman. You say I'm too good for the Avengers, but you don't realize that you are the best out of all of us. You are just a guy, no superpowers, not crazy training, nothing. Yet, you risk your life fighting the universe's most powerful people to save us. To save me and the rest of the Avengers. To save the people who can't save themselves. I've never really had parents, for so long I imagined what it would be like. I don't have to imagine anymore. You weren't just Spider-Man's mentor, you are my hero, and you are my dad. I miss you so much, Mr. Stark. I don't even know what to do without you, every corner I turn or every way I look you are there. There are huge drawings of you on the streets, but that isn't what I'm talking about. At the end of the school day, I can picture you in your fancy car taking me home from school. I can see you in the lab, helping me upgrade my suit. I can see you everywhere. I miss you so much and I don't know what to do without you. I love you like I imagined I would love my dad. I love you so much, Mr. Stark.

The young hero lets the pencil fall from his hands and stares at his messy handwriting scrawled on the paper. He takes a deep breath to try and calm himself, but it doesn't work. The letters blur together and he can't even read them anymore. He lets out a loud sob and tears fall down his cheeks making big wet splotches on his letter. His head drops to the table and he lets out sob after heart-wrenching sob. He grabs at his hair and rocks back and forth in his chair. The world just isn't the same anymore. Not without Tony. 

In between sobs he gasps, "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark, so so so sorry."
