Peter POV

"Oh, there they are" a certain Billionaire says. "How was the ride up?" he asks

"good" says Happy

"Give me a minute with the kid" Tony says to Happy

"Seriously?" Happy asks

"yeah" he answers

"I gotta talk to the kid" Tony says

"I'll be close behind" Happy says

"How about a loose follow? All right? Boundaries are good" Tony says and punches his fist in my shoulder, light of course.

He puts his arms around me, pats me three times and says "Sorry I took your suit. I mean you had it coming. Actually, it turns out it was the perfect tough - love moment that you needed, right? To urge you on, wouldn't you think? Don't you think?" He asks me

"I guess" I say

"Let's just say it was" he says

I don't comment and he just sighs

"Mr. Stark, Is Anto-"

"You screwed the pooch hard, bigtime. But then you did the right thing. Took the doog to the free clinic you raised the hybrid puppies...All right, not my best analogy. I was wrong about you" he says pointing his finger at me at the last sentence "I think, with a little more mentoring...you could be a real asset to the team" he says

"To the- t-to the team?" I ask

"yeah. Anyways...there's about 50 reporters behind that door. Real ones, not bloggers. When you're ready, why don't you try that on?" he says and walks to the suit that came out of the wall next to me "And I'll introduce the world the newest official member of the Avengers: Spider-Man"

"I- uh" I chuckle

"Yeah, give that a look." he says but I already do that the whole time
"so after the press conference, Happy will show you your room, your new quarters. Where is he between? He's next to Vision?" he asks Happy

What about May?

"yeah, Vision's not big on doors" Heppy says and gets a slight stare from Mr. Stark

"It's fun" Mr. Stark says

"Or walls" Happy adds

"you'll fit right in" Tony says

I don't think it's a good Idea. Someone has to look out for the little guy, and I'm the one that's going to do that.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark. But I'm-Im good" I say as I turn around to face him

"you're good? Good--? How are you good?" Mr. Stark asks

"Well, I mean, I'd rather just stay on the ground for a little while. Friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. Somebody's got to look out for the little guy, right?" I say and he takes his glasses off

"You're turning me down?" he asks
"You better think about this. Look at that" he says, pointing to the suit "Look at me" he says "last chance, yes or no?"

"no"

"Okay. It's kind of a Springsteen-y, working-class hero vibe that I dig. Happy will take you home-" Tony says

"Actually, could I go to Antonia?" I ask

"sure" He answers

"Happy?" he asks

"Yes" Happy answers

"show him the way to Antonia" Tony says to Happy

"seriously?" Happy asks

"yes." Tomy says

"mind waiting upstairs, I need a minute" Happy says

"Thank you Mr. Stark" I say

"Yes, Mr. Parker. Very well" he says

Antonia POV

I wake up and look around, I'm still at the compound. Can you imagine? I MET TONY STARK!!! He was cleaning my cuts when I woke up this morning. I was so confused.
Mr. Stark said something about wrist fractures, ankle sprains, hamstring muscle strain or something and a concussion. But I already knew that when I woke up because I'm smart.

I have a headache
Nausea and I vomited on the floor. Disgusting I know, it was also very embarrassing....And I'm Confused as hell.

Let's go on, because I wanna show you that I'm smart and know those things. Hehe.

Temporary loss of consciousness?
check
Balance problems/dizziness/lightheadedness.
Check, check, check
Double or blurry vision.
Check, Check, I thought Tony had four eyes when I saw him the first time.
Ringing in the ears.
Absolutely Check
Sensitivity to light and noise.
Mhm, definitely

And I felt the wrist fractures, ankle sprains and hamstring muscle strain.

See? I'M SMART!

That's when the door opens slightly. I look to the side and see "Peter" I say In a whisper

He opens the door and the sun is shining in.. "ugghhh" I groan
"Peter, the light" I say and shut my eyes

"sorry, sorry, can I come in?" he asks

"No" I say

"no?" he asks

"I'm kidding. You should stop believing everything I say" I say, and open my eyes again, such a dickhead.

"How are you?" he says stepping inside the dark room, the only light coming from a bedside light next to me

"fine" I say

"How are you really?" he asks again

"I'm fine" I say again

"all right. I'll ask Mr. Stark later" he chuckles

"How-how are you?" I ask

"fine" he says and I chuckle but it turns into multiple coughs.

Peter hands me the water glass next to me and I take a sip.

"I'm sorry" Peter says

"about what?" I ask

"about all this" he gestures to me

"Don't. Don't do this to you. It was my choice to follow Princess Lillifee and-"

"Princess Lillifee?" he asks

"yeah, the guy with the wings" I say without laughing to my surprise but Peter starts laughing instead.

"what did they do to you?" he asks me after he stoped laughing

"nothing really. I annoyed them, though. At the day you and princess fought, a few minutes earlier or hours I don't really know, he came in this building where they kept me and he was mad, really mad. He said your name and that he hopes for me that you'll just do what you two discussed. I don't know what exactly but he said if you didn't then he'll gonna kill you and me and then he grabbed me and pushed me out of my cage and started punching me. When I woke up, I was in a car with him, everything hurt me and Dwarf wasn't there to cheer me up, he's working for Lillifee. And then you came into this building. You know what happened after that" I tell him honest

"Antonia-I-" I say but she cuts me off

"are you trying to apologize again?" I ask and he looks down to his hands on mine "listen spider-boy. If you start apologizing again, I'm gonna get out of this bed and follow you to the moon, give you to some alien and sell you as a spider plush toy. understand?" I say and I only get a stare as response

"good I-" I start but the door opens again

"Hey kids"
