Tony was in his lab, as usual, when he heard the elevator ping. With a small but genuine smile, he greeted the spider kid, Peter.

"Hey kid, how was school?" - asked Tony, while ruffling Peter's hair.

"Oh, Mr. Stark! You are not going to believe what happened in my Chemistry class today! Like we had to do this crazy experiment with-" - rambled Peter, in his usual excited self.

Since May discovered that Peter was spider-man, (that was not a fun conversation) he started visiting the compound every other weekend, okay almost every weekend, to spend some time in the lab with Tony.

Rhodey called it their father and son bonding moment, but the two were too emotionally constipated to admit it (although they secretly enjoyed it).

Peter was still rambling when his stance changed from relaxed to hyper-alert in seconds. Which meant that he was sensing some kind of danger. Tony was calling for his suit, but before it was complete he was knocked out.

————

Waking up in an unknown movie theater was not what Tony had expected of this experience. Not at all. And the kid was with him which only made things worse.

"Mr. Stark?"

"Yeah kid, I'm here."

Okay problem 1 solved, the kid was next to him. Now time for problem 2, where the hell were they?

"Tones? What? I thought you were in New York?"

"Oh God, Rhodey. Yeah, I was in New York, not sure where we are right now.."

There is now a problem 3, who was with them because apparently kidnapping 2 avengers and a spider-boy wasn't enough and people were starting to wake up.

"Brother, I thought you were past doing this kind of mischief."

"I assure you brother, this was not my doing."

Oh, great Thor was here too. And Loki? Wasn't he dead? Tony was starting to lose count of the number of problems.

"Tony, what have you done?"- said the great star-spangled man with a plan.

"I didn't do anything, Rogers."

Great the rogues were in the same room as him and he didn't have a suit, that's going to end well for sure.

"Just tell us, Stark. We are going to find out anyway." - Wanda Maximoff said, with no less venom than usual.

"I told you, I haven't done anything!" - Tony was starting to lose his patience and- Oh. Well, it looks like Maximoff didn't like their little talk and is about to enter his mind or smash him to the nearest wall, possibly both.

Great start, time to brace for impact, I guess.

"That's enough!" - a guy with a flying cape said? And that wasn't even the most surprising thing, Wanda's red magic disappeared like it was never there. Tony did not gape like a fish, he didn't.

But seriously what does it say about his life that a guy with a flying cape appearing was the least surprising thing of the whole situation?

"What have you done with me?" - said Maximoff, while looking at her hands in shock.

"Nothing I'm not supposed to" - okay gold mandalas were appearing out of thin air, so the guy is a wizard? (Yay more magic, this is going out of control.)

"YOU!" - roared Loki and it looks like he didn't like the wizard and, wait where did those knives come from?

"Me" - wizard guy replied, apparently not bothered by a god trying to kill him. His face was somewhat familiar, Tony thought, but he couldn't remember from where.
