Spiderman Oneshots

the good bye letter

Wow, I finally did it! I am so sorry for the long wait, but it's finally winter break now, and I had the time to translate another oneshot! I hope you like it!

„FRIDAY, call Peter please" „Calling Peter Parker" It took a few seconds for Peter to pick up his phone, but then the bubbly voice of the teenager spoke up. "Good morning Tony! What's up? Is there a mission?" he asked excitedly. Tony chuckled. "Sorry, not today, Peter" "Well, never mind that. So, what's going on?" "Does something have to go on for me to call you?" he asked, half joking, half serious. "Of course not! I'm sorry, I'm happy you called." Peter quickly reassured.

"Alright, But you're right, there is actually something I need your help for today: Didn't you take the results of the testing for the new suits with you after last time? I think we made a mistake, so I'd need the papers with your notes for a second"

He could hear Peter laugh. "See? You called because you needed something! The notes should be somewhere on the desk in my room in the tower, you can just take them." "Perfect, thank you, Peter!" "No problem! But I have to go, I think there is a bank robbery going on over there" "Alright, but be careful!" "Always am! Bye!" and before Tony could say anything else, Peter had ended the call.

Tony shook his head fondly and smiled, as he pretty much always did when he was thinking about the teenager who always seemed to be overflowing with happy energy.

He entered the elevator and ordered FRIDAY to bring him up to his floor. Peter's room wasn't in the same area as the quarters of the other avengers, instead it was right next to his own private rooms which only a few people had access to. It was right at the top of the tower, on the 93rd floor.

Tony had arranged that to be able to help Peter through the nightmares he still had every once in a while. That was what it took to be a super hero. He wanted to be close to Peter to be able to help him. And, even though he would never admit it, he just enjoyed the presence of the extremely smart and kind brunette. He somehow always managed to make every glimpse of bad mood disappear, no matter where he was.

Tony opened the door to Peter's room and entered. The room had a huge panorama window from which he could overlook all of New York. The walls were covered in lots of Star Wars posters, but there were also a few photos, some of them showing Peter with his two best friends, others Peter with his hot aunt or the Avengers. Over the bed there was a huge picture, showing Tony standing next to Peter, a hand on his shoulder, Peter proudly holding up his internship certificate.

The room was relatively clean, but the big desk standing at one of the walls was almost not visible any more under the huge mess of papers that was covering it. Tony sighted. That could take a while.

He stepped to the desk and started searching through the papers. There were essays, complicated equations and formulas, sketches and all kinds of other notes of which Tony had no idea what they were. It took a few minutes, but he finally found what he was looking for.

Relieved to having found the right ones, he pulled them out of the chaos, accidentally pushing a few other papers from the table. He sighted, kneed down and started picking them up, putting them back on the desk. He just wanted to leave, when an envelope on top of the mess caught his exes.

"For Tony, just in case" stood on it, written in Peter's neat, small handwriting. Tony hesitated. Should he open the letter? It was addressed to him, after all. But on the other hand, it said "just in case", whatever that was supposed to mean. But his curiosity won in the end.

He grabbed the envelope and carefully tore it open. He pulled out the paper inside of it, that was had a text written in the same handwriting on it.
