13- Thief

3rd person pov

Peter didn't do it. He swore on his life to mr. Stark, apolagized, begged, but the man wouldn't budge. A thief. That's what mr. Stark had called him on that wednesday Peter arrived at the tower. A traitor, gold digger, thief. Peter did nothing wrong, he didn't steal those pieces of technology, those formulas. Someone framed him. Who would do something like that?

Peter had been staying at the tower, due to his aunt going to Africa to volunteer at a hospital. He didn't want to call her, tell her what had happened and make her come back for him. Would she even believe him? Peter didn't know, the only thing he knew for sure, was that he did not steal. He wasn't a thief.

So, he told mr. Stark that May was already back, and he left, leaving his suit behind like mr. Stark had ordered. He felt Stark's piercing stare in his back as Peter walked away from the tower one last time. Nowhere to go and no money, just clothes and his phone. A tear escaped Peter's eye, his heart was aching so painfully he wanted to collapse right there.

He didn't do it.

He really, really didn't. Why did no one believe him? Even Clint thought he did it. His prank buddy. Even Bruce, his science bro. Even mr. Stark, his.. What even was mr. Stark? Awkward father figure? Mentor? Another thing Peter didn't know.

Peter wanders around the busy New York streets, not really knowing where he's going. His feet bring him to his apartment. This all would have been easy, if May hadn't rented the apartment to some students so she could still make some money while she was gone. Peter looks up at the familiar building before sighing and walking further to one of the abandoned warehouses he always rested as spiderman.

Spiderman. He lost him too. Not for the first time, mr. Stark had already taken his suit once and called it a 'tough love' moment after. What would mr. Stark call this after this is over? Or will this never be over? Will his idol forever believe Peter is a thief? Yet another thing Peter just doesn't know.

At the warehouse, Peter climbs up to the second floor and hops through the window. There's spiderwebs, dust and garbage all over the place, together with a single couch and a small cabinet. The two pieces of furniture are really random, but the couch is the main reason Peter chose this warehouse.

It's in the middle of july, summer break, and it's smoking hot in the warehouse, wich obviously has no airco. Peter had thought about going to Ned or MJ, but MJ would say no or feel uncomfortable, and Ned was off to Canada with his parents. So, Peter lays down on the couch, silent tears mingling with sweat.

Tony didn't want to believe it. Peter, stealing? Peter? His- The kid? An anonymous person had given the tip, claiming Peter stole multiple pieces of technology and formula's. Tony didn't believe it, but when the anonymous person told him to just look into it, and Tony did, he didn't know what to think.

There were indeed things missing from the labs, sorry, lab, singular. Only Tony's lab. The only people who had acces to his lab were Bruce, Happy, Pepper and.. Peter. Tony knew Bruce, Happy and Pepper would never do something like that, and FRIDAY confirmed that no one without acces had entered his lab in the last 4 months.

Betrayed. That's how Tony felt. He had grown to care for the kid, genuinely cared about him. Still, showing nothing but anger, he send Peter away. He didn't show his sadness, even when Peter began to beg. He just.. Sent him away.

Tony watches the boy's back as he walks away with just his duffel bag. Duffel bag without spiderman suit. He made the right choice, right?
