    (Peter sits on a jungle gym wringing out his mask. In front of him, Iron Man is hovering while Peter explains what happened, "And then he just, like, swooped down like a monster and he picked me up and, uh, he took me up, like, a thousand feet and just dropped me. How'd you find me? Did you put a tracker in my suit or something?")

    "You could've at least told me you put it in there." Peter says with his arms crossed.

    ("I put everything in your suit. Including this heater." The suit dries instantly. "Whew, that's better. Thanks." "What were you thinking?" "The guy with the wings is obviously the source of the weapons. I gotta take him down." "Steady, Crockett, there are people who handle this sort of thing." "The Avengers?" "No this is a little below their pay grade.")

   "Tony those are alien weapons, if it isn't an Avengers level threat now it's bound to become one." Says Steve.

    "In Tony's defense there wasn't really an Avengers then." Pepper says glaring at Steve. She hadn't forgotten about Siberia. Steve gulped.

    ("Mr. Stark you didn't have to come all the way out here. I had that. I was fine." "Oh, I'm not here." The helmet opens revealing an empty interior. Tony is in India. "Thank god this place has WiFi or you would be toast right now. Thank Ganesh while you're at it." He continues to talk through the empty suit, "Look, forget about the flying vulture guy, please." "Why?" "Why? Because I said so!")

    "Tony." Bruce sighs with his head in his hands.

    ("Stay close to the ground. Build up your game helping the little people, like that lady that bought you the churro. Can't you just be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man?" "But I'm ready for more now than that now." "No, you are not.")

    "You were right." Peter says smiling at Tony, "I'm meant to be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man and I'm fine with that, I like it." Tony smiles back at him.

    "You know how to take care of yourself when dealing with the big threats too kid. Although every close call gives me a grey hair." And Peter turning to dust on Titan still haunts his dreams.

    ("That's not what you thought when I took on Captain America.")

    "He stole your shield and kicked your butt." Bucky wheezed.

    "Yeah and then he dropped an airplane terminal on him." Tony says, his voice rising at the end. Steve looks down sheepishly.

    ("Trust me kid if Cap had wanted to lay you out he would've. Listen to me. If you come across those weapons again, call Happy.")

    "He did." Said Matt with a sour look on his face, "He ignored him."

    Peter rubbed Matt's upper arm. Tony glared at the latter. He will admit that Happy didn't do a good job with Peter but he's his friend.

    Peter knew that Matt was only angry because of his own personal experience with a bad mentor, but Tony was getting agitated. "You need to calm down." He whispered to Matt who nodded begrudgingly.

    ("You know," Tony says, "it's never too early to start thinking about college. I got some pull at MIT.")

    Peter winces, remembering what happened when he tried to get into MIT.

    ("End call." "No, I don't need to go to col- Mr. Stark-")

    "Yes you do!!" Shouted every adult.

    "Ok, ok." Says Peter.

    ("Mr. Stark is no longer connected." Says Friday. The suit flies away. "That's awesome." Peter mutters begrudgingly.)
