-Oh no... I gotta find Tony (Bruce)

*****

-Fine.. I'll do it.. But can we do this tomorrow? I'm tired.

-Of course, whenever you're ready.

-Thanks.

-C'mon, let's watch something else.

******

-Hello, sir.

-Oh, hi. How are you? (Steve)

-Is everything okay?

-Yeah, we're fine. Thank you.

The man nods.

Tony and Peter arrive downstairs. Both looking like a wreck.

The moment Peter sees the man, he freezes. He can't walk. He totally forgot today's Monday and that's the day he comes to work.
Skip Wescott. The man who raped him.

-Wescott! How nice to see you! How was your weekend?

Tony and Skip shake hands.

-It was a nice weekend, sir. Thank you. And yours?

-Oh! It was just fine, thanks. So.. make yourself at home.

Skip Wescott works for Tony for 5 years. He basically saw Peter growing up and sometimes would even teach him things about life that Peter uses to this day. He's one of the security guards of the house and it is a very trustable man. In the eyes of Steve and Tony. He's a tall,
strong, white straight hair, with a smile that can give you goosebumps or terrify you man type.

Tony notices how terrified Peter looks.

He comes closer to help him.

-Pete, are you okay? Are you alright?

But the boy doesn't answer.

Then, the pieces finally come together.

Peter has always liked Skip. He saw him growing up. He helped him druing the adoption process.
And seeing his kid this terrified could mean only one thing: that man raped him.

Tony looks at Steve to see if he's seeing the same thing, but he doesn't seem to notice.

Tony's hands are shaking. He doesn't know what to do. He wants to punch the man.

He comes closer to Skip, looking furious.

-Did you touch my child?

-What?

-Did you touch Peter!?

-What? Of course not!

Tony now looks at Peter.

-IS THAT THE MAN WHO RAPED YOU?

Peter can't move. Everybody's looking at him.

-PETER, DID HE RAPE YOU?

-THAT'S INSANE I WOULD NEVER DO THAT!

-Tony!

Bruce arrives and realizes he's too late. Tony's already figured it out.

-Tony, listen to me! (Bruce)

-Why didnt you tell us!? Why didn't you tell us kid? (Tony)

-I didn't touch the kid! Tell them I didn't do anything! (Skip says coming closer to Peter)

-DON'T COME NEAR HIM!

Tony pushes Skip against the wall.

-Tell me why I shouldn't fucking kill you right now!
