Tony and Steve walk closer to the boys.

"Peter are you okay? Who are you?" Tony asks the first question to Peter and the second on to James.

"My name is James and I will tell you more after we get out of here."

Everyone nods until Hulk looks over at them. He roars in anger and runs down the hall.

"I wonder what that was about?" Tony asks.

"Did you really not notice. Wow... the hulk noticed before you did." Peter says while shifting his weight to get in a better position considering he was still holding Percy.

"Mmmmm?"

"Hey Captain! Is he half asleep under that mask?" Peter asks.

Steve looks at the trio and then notices Percy. Steve gasps and moves towards the group. Steve takes Peter's place and Peter goes over to Tony. Peter waves his hand in front of the suit. He gets no response. He tries every single thing he can think of to wake up Tony.

"Hey Cap?"

"Yah?"

"When was the last time he slept?"

"I don't know... four days ago?"

"That explains why it appears that he passed out from exhaustion." Peter says looking back at Steve.

"How are we going to bring him back?" Steve asks.

"Hey James do you still have some of that rope that we used to tie up Nako?" Peter says turning his head to James.

"I think I still have about a five foot section. The rope was pretty long."

"Can I use it?"

"It's in my right inside pocket of my coat."

"Thanks."

Peter goes over to James and pulls out the rope. He takes one end and makes a loop through it. He ties the loop and then starts walking back to Tony. About halfway there he stops and swings the rope so that the looped end is swinging around in the air. He tosses it and it goes around Tony.

"Okay let's... why are you both looking at me like that?"

"Tony would never have thought about doing that." Steve says bluntly.

"Well I am not Tony am I? I am smart you know. Just not as smart with this stuff. Percy is better than me at this stuff."

"Well you did good kid. I'm sure your dad would be proud." Steve says.

Peter looks at Tony with caring eyes. "Yah... I guess he would be."
