Peter POV

I screwed up, I have nothing, nothing on the sellers, the buyers and the girl.

I see an Iron Man suit flying past me and stopps behind me

"Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch, I tell you to stay away from this. Instead, you hacked a multimillion-dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back, doing the one thing I told you not to do" Mr. Stark says

"Is everyone okay?" I ask not looking at the suit

"No thanks to you" he says, u serious?

"No thanks to me?" I ask and grab my mask, turn around and jump down.

"Those weapons were out there, and I tried to tell you about it but you didn't listen. A girl is probably in danger and I don't know what to do" I say and walk forward as the suit hovers down
"None of this would've happened if you'd just listened to me!" I yell

I chuckle "If you even cared, you'd actually be here"

That's when the mask opens and I see Tony's face, then the rest of the suit opens and he walks out. He looks at me with a serious face.

"I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh?" he says "Do you know I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid"

"I'm 15" I say

"No, this is where you zip it, all right? The adult is talking. What If somebody had died today?" he asks

"Different story, right? Because that's on you. And if you died... I feel like that's on me" "I don't need that on my conscience"

"Yes sir" I sas

"tell me about the girl" he says "what do you know about that?"

"I heard a few guys talking about a girl, I don't know who, she was getting in their way or something and they said the boss, the guy with the wings, had it handled" I say truthfully

"all right." Tony says, turns his head away and sighs loud

"I'm sorry" I say and Mr. Stark looks back at me

"Sorry doesn't cut it" he says

"I just wanted to be like you" I say

"And I wanted you to be better" he says

Silence.......

"Okay, it's not working out. I'm gonna need the suit back" what?!

"for how long?" I ask

"forever" he says, no.

"No-" I try to say

"Yeah, that's how it works" he says

"No, no. Please, please please" I continue

"Let's have it" Tony says

"please, you don't understand, this is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit" I plead

"If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it" he says "ok?"

"God, I sound like my dad" he adds

I don't know what to say

"I don't have any other clothes" I say

"Okay, we'll sort that out" he says

Tony POV

"Jarvis, pull up every security cameras from September 13th in Queens" I say to Jarvis
