Avengers dunno who SM is!

---

Tony Stark had been assigned to let Spiderman trust him, and then convince him to take of his mask. It was really cold hearted, but shield really wanted the man's name, and violence was no use. So a few months after Ironman had 'accidently' met spiderman, he had to ask the final question. THE question. "who the fuck are you?" 





Of course, that's not how it went, peeps. It really was time though. Tony had tried his hardest to not get attached to the happy, always chattering young hero, he really tried, because he knew how mad the boy would be afterwards anyway. The billionaire thought he managed, he thought he didn't care for the boy. Oh boy was he wrong.

Tony and spiderman sat on their favorite rooftop. It had been 3 months since they met. Peter looked up to the man as a father figure, he trusted him with his life. Tony never asked for his name before, or for him to take of his mask, so when he asked that night, Peter only hestitated for a less than 2 seconds. He had known him for months, they shared their secrets, they laughed, cried, fought crime, got injured, flew, swung, swimmed, played games, talked untill midnight, went shopping, ate at a fancy restaurant, bought each other birthday gifts even though it wasn't their birthday and so much more. He trusted him. He trusted him. He thought he could trust him. They cared about eachother. They cared about each other. He thought they cared about each other. Oh boy was he wrong.

"So.. Spidey.. I don't know, but if your comfortable... could I know your identity?" Peter gaped at him for a second before pulling his mask of, happily. "Sure mr. Stark! I mean, I can trust you with everything, right?" Little did the poor spider know he was actually being recorded through Tony's helmet. Only for shield's eyes of course. Peter looked at him happily. Tony, however, looked, shocked at the kid, in guilt. He didn't expect the boy to immediatly give in, and for him to be so young. He'd known the hero was young, but not this young. "H-how old are you?" 

"My name's Peter Parker, I'm 15 years old and I'm Spiderman!" 15. Only 15. "c'mon Tony, tell him and get back to the tower. Mission's over." Someone said over Tony's comms. Big mistake. Very big one. Due to Peter's enhanced hearing, he heard it. "W-what? Mission? Oh no.. no no no no.. Please, no" He sobbed out. He turned around, his hands flew to his head and he covered his eyes and ears. Salty tears streaming down his cheeks. "Spidey.." Peter collapsed to the ground and burried his head in his knees. His heart ached. So bad. Tony never liked him, he never cared for him. Only for his stupid identity. "Peter? P-please, I'm sorry I-" Before he could finish, Peter planted a hard punch in his face. Tony stumbled a few metres back.

Peter stood up, still sobbing. He slipped his mask back on his tear stained face. "Pete, I'm sorry- You know I care for you, this is all so stupid and I'm so-" Peter cut him of. "Forget it mr. Stark. Just.. Don't tell anyone, please?" He looked up at Tony for one last time and jumped of the roof, fighting more tears.

Stark messed up, big time.

{Peter's pov}

I can't believe I was so stupid. Trusting mr. Stark. Thinking he cared for me. Thinking I could trust him. No one really cares for me. No one.

I thought I finally had someone to rely on again, after May's death. Turns out mr. Stark just needed my name. My stupid worthless name.

I punch into a random wall. Hard. I punch so hard, and so many times I can feel my knuckles opening, bleeding. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid."

Eventually I collapse onto the dirty pavement of the alleyway. My hands hurt, my head is spinning, my vision is blurry from the tears and my heart is aching.

I feel myself slipping away. I know it isn't a good idea to fall asleep in a random alleyway with my suit still on, but I don't care. It doesn't matter anyway. Who the fuck am I still fighting for?

{Tony's pov}

I don't think I ever felt more guilt aching in my heart ever before. He's just a 15 year old boy. I found out his last living relative died just before he met me.

He probably trusted me with his life. He probably thought he had someone to rely on again.

I'm an idiot. How could I be so cold hearted? How could I do this? A single tear leaves my eye.

"Tony, it isn't your fault." I hear Steve say. I shake my head. It is my fault. I broke the boy's trust. And I do care for him, even tho I tried not to. I cared so much for him.

I have to make it up to him.

"Friday, can you find some footage with spiderman from the last hour?" Friday doesn't respond but projects a low quality security camera video.

I see spidey swing through the city and land in an alleyway. He stumbled around a bit before he starts punching the wall aggresively. "Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid." He mumbles quietly.

After he stops punching, I'm sure his knuckles are bleeding, he collapses to the ground. His head rests on his shoulder and his body goes limp. He blacked out.

I call my suit and head to the alleyway immediatly. He is still there. "Friday, vitals." I say quietly.

"Spiderman's knuckles seem to be open and bleeding, he has one almost healed stab wound, a few bruises, and he is dehydrated, starving and underweight." My eyes widen. Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. Oh he's homeless, isn't he?

After his aunt died, he ran onto the streets and now he hasn't been able to eat properly. The guilt rushing over me is almost unbearable.

I carry him to the tower. He's way to light.

The next day I head over to the medbay after Friday alerted me that Spiderman, well, Peter, woke up.

I walk in his room. He's sitting in his bed and his eyes widen when he sees me. "Hey bud, how ya feeling?" I ask. "Where am I?" He asks, totally ignoring my question. "You're in the Stark tower. Look I'm sorry for what I did, I want to make it up to you. Why don't you come live with me in the tower? And get you some food?" 

Peter slightly nods. "Alright, come on."

Yeah, that was it. Idk how to end it. But it's just that Peter got to know the avengers, he fully forgived them after a while, he moved in there, and that's it! <3
