"We even got a secret handshake and she loves the music that my band makes.."

(A/N Help, cause i literally am struggling with chapter names-)

Y/n's POV

Tony flew off, following Peter, as the crowd cheered him on. You stood there for a moment, inhaling deeply, before taking flight and following them. The wind rushed past you as you soared through the city, searching for Peter. Finally, you spotted him sitting on top of a white building by the water, his mask off, lost in thought. You landed behind him, stepping a bit closer.

"Peter?" you called out, your voice tinged with concern. He kept his gaze fixed on the water, his expression filled with anger. You were about to call his name again when the sound of Tony's suit filled the air, prompting you to stay silent as he approached.

"Previously on, Peter screws the pooch," Tony's voice echoed from above, floating over the rooftop. "I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multi-million dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back and do the one thing I told you not to do." The Iron Man suit hovered in the air, and although you couldn't see Tony's face, his presence was intimidating. As if he sensed your presence, his mask turned to face you. "Is that Y/n? Parker, you dragged the sister of Maximoff into this mess, the same people we were fighting against not long ago?"

A gust of wind blew, causing your hood to fall back, revealing your face adorned with a mix of disgust and disappointment.

"Is everyone okay?" Peter asked without looking over.

"No thanks to you two. I'm surprised the witch over here couldn't even keep that thing floating," Tony retorted. Peter turned his body and approached Tony, his anger evident.

"No thanks to us? First off, Y/n was knocked back, so she did the best she could! And those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it! But you didn't listen! None of this would have happened if you had just listened to me!" Peter confronted Tony, standing right in front of the Iron Man suit as it descended closer to the ground. "If you even cared, you'd actually be here," he added, frustration coloring his voice. The mask of the suit opened, revealing a visibly angered Tony. The rest of the suit opened up, and he stepped out, leaving Peter looking surprised and taken aback.

"I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI?" Tony responded, addressing the question. Arms crossed, you listened intently.

"That was you?" you asked, slightly astonished.

"Yeah, that was me. I saved your butts," Tony replied, directing his next words to Peter. "Do you know I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old."

"Yeah, I've heard that one before," you chimed in.

"No! This is where you zip it!" Tony yelled, cutting you off. With your arms still crossed, you looked down, waiting for them to finish their conversation. Once they were done, Tony got back into his suit and flew off. You glanced over at Peter, who slowly turned to face you as you flew off to chase after Tony. You flew over several buildings, accelerating to catch up with him.

"Stark!" you yelled, your accent becoming more pronounced. Tony turned and faced you.

"What? I'm kinda busy," he responded dismissively. You scoffed.

"You had no reason to do that," you stated firmly.

"What? Save you two?" Tony replied defensively.

"No. Get mad at Peter for something that wasn't his fault. If it weren't for us being there, those people would be dead!"
