Chapter 3

"FRIDAY, scan peter" Tony commanded as the AI came to life.

Peter was dosing in and out of consciousness. He was tired even though he had woken up an hour and a half ago. He fought to be awake.

"Hey Peter are you feeling alright." Tony asked as he put down a tool that he was using to monitor peters body.

"I'm feeling kinda nauseous." Peter slurred as he stumbled around. Tony caught him before he fell to the ground.

"Sir, I think Peter is having a panic attack." FRIDAY stated in her robotic like voice.

"Peter breath for me." Tony whispered in his ear while rubbing his back soothingly.

Peter was having flashbacks in his mind.

"Peter!"

Peter was hiding upstairs in his room he had come home with a bad grade on his test he came home crying scared of what his father saw.

It was on an English test which peter wasn't very good at.

"PETER PARKER GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE!" His dad shouted down the stairs.

Peters eyes filled with tears of sadness and terror as he opened the closet door.

He walked down the stairs his legs feeling like jelly.

"F-Father I hope you understand b-but I'm bad at Eng-" he was interpreted by a slap to his face with a ruler.

"I DON'T WANT TYOU TO BE BAD AT ANYTHING YOU ARE A PARKER! PARKERS AREN'T BAD AT ANYTHING!!"

"I-I'm sorry." Peter sobbed as he held is face in his hands. A red rectangle was forming on his cheek.

"Peter." Tony sighed as he saw the sobbing boy on the floor of the lab. His heart ached for him to no longer feel pain.

Tony did something he thought he would never do. He kissed peters forehead in hopes of it helping to calm peter down.

Peters eyes started to fill a little bit more with life as he clutched Tony's shirt until his knuckles were white.

"Peter." Tony whispered as he rocked the 15 year old until he was asleep.

Tony lifted him up. His heart broke slightly as he realized how light the boy was.

He carried Peter to his bedroom and laid him on the bed. Peter was still clinging onto Tony's shirt. Tony sighed as he laid down next to the quivering boy as he soon fell asleep into a pitch of darkness.

~later~

Tony woke up to sobs beside him.

"Please stop!" He heard peter whisper.

Tony sat right up and saw tears trail down peters face.

"Hey! Hey it's going to be okay it's going to be fine peter is all just a dream." Tony put peter in his arms as he rocked peter once again.

Peters eyes slowly opened as he took in everything around him.

"Dad?" He asked as he nuzzled into him.

"Yeah?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Sure." Tony replied.

"Are you sure you want me?" Peter stated.

"Yes." Tony nodded as he laid back down with peter on his chest.

"Why? I'm broken." Peter muttered.

"That's the reason I want to adopt you more. Just because you have nightmares, panic attacks and trauma doesn't mean you aren't worth my time." Tony kissed peters forehead. It may of been the first day they've met but Tony knew he really wanted Peter for his son.

"But I'm a freak everyone tells me this."

"Peter, when have I ever told you, you are a freak?"

"But-"

"No buts peter. You are special and I'm going to make sure you know that." Tony smiled.

Peter pushed his face into Tony's chest. Thanking the gods that the chest piece was out so it wasn't hard on there, it was just comfortable.
