Who You Want Me To Be

Prolouge

"Come on Peter! Why aren't you healing?" Tony says, covering the wound with his hand. Trying to stop the bleeding.

This was supposed to just be a simple recon mission. Not this...

"I- I think it's poisoned." Peter gasped out, his face contorted in pain.

"Jarvis, do a scan! What's wrong with him?" Tony yelled.

"Sir, it's too late..."

"No! Peter!" Tony said, shaking Peter's head as he started to close his eyes. "No! No, no, no, no, no!!! Come on, kid. You can't do this to me, I had a surprise for you." Tony said, pulling some adoption papers from his jacket. "See! I was gonna adopt you."

Peter smiled, but it was small and full of pain. Before muttering a few small words. "I always wished you could be my dad..."

Then his head fell back, and Tony's breaths turned into hiccuping sobs.

"Sir, an SOS has been sent out. Help will arrive soon. I suggest you move to a more secure location..."

Tony zoned out staring at nothing. Not moving. This had been a trap. Not for him, but for Peter. This was an assassination...

Tony stared out the window. At nothing. 3 months had gone by since the death of Spider-Man. Every now and then he would see it on the news. Headlines that said: Hero In Life, Hero In Death. Who's Gonna Be The Next Spider-Man...? Then Tony started thinking.

And sometimes that wasn't always a good thing.

The world needed a new Spider-Man. And he needed Peter back...

He started searching databases, websites... and Peter's private server. Anything he could get his hands on to figure out what Spider made Peter who he was.

He knew that he couldn't bring Peter back from the dead. That wasn't possible, well maybe Strange could do it, but Tony doubted he would. So he could make a new Peter. One that believed he was Peter Parker. Using the same (but slightly less violent version) of what made the Winter Soldier forget who he was, or at least something to that effect.

Tony dove into the research. Until he finally found the spider that had bitten Peter Parker all those years ago.

Test after Test. Trial after Trial. Every single person he tried to give the spider bite died. Which begged the question. What made Peter Parker so special?

His body still hadn't been buried. But everyone thought that it had. The real body was in a special coffin that kept his body fresh for the memory transfer. Which would be the last step in making Peter 2.0.

After much more tests Tony realized something crucial and very interesting.

To 99.999% of the population of earth, this spider was extremely deadly. To that 0.001%, it granted the abilities that Peter had. Which made Tony wonder if Peter was put in that Lab on purpose...

This gene was extremely rare. And was passed down through DNA. But as far as he knew. The Parker line had ended with Peter. Testing the entire world was going to be a very big dead end. Emphasis on the word dead. So he went to the only person who might be able to help him know if there were any Parker's left. May.

He knocked on her door with a bundle of flowers. To show his condolences to Peter. He wasn't sure if May had known how close he was to Peter. He knocked firmly.

The door opened a minute later. May Parker standing there with a button-up top and leggings. Her hair was in a messy bun. Her eyes were blown wide when she realized who it was.

"Mr- Mr. Stark? What are you doing here?" He looked at her with sympathy.

"I came to express my condolences." He said holding the flowers out to her. "And I have a few questions for you."

She took the flowers and nodded for him to come in. "Make yourself at home, what can I do for you?"

He cut right to the chase. "I need to know if Peter had any siblings, cousins, or someone around his own age that he's related to?" She gave him a weird look.

"Yes... There's one, but he ran away, we've never been able to find him." She said sadly. His face changed to one of confusion.

"How long ago? And how close was his relationship with Peter?" May sighed.

"He was 7 when he ran away. That was 10 years ago. And he was Peter's twin brother. But we don't talk about him here. His name was Porter. He was very bright for his age. Peter and him did everything together. Then Ben died, and he ran away." May said sadly.

"Thank you, May for telling me. I do have places I need to be, but, I would like to talk to you more sometime, Peter was kinda like a son to me. I'd love to know more about him." Tony said, giving her a small smile.

She smiled up at him as he stood, wiping some tears that had just appeared away. "Yeah, I would like that. An- And thank you, Mr. Stark." He nodded to her and let himself out.

He was going to find this kid.
