Mr. Stark's Daughter

It's Not the Same Without You

~Peter's POV~
Chloe didn't text me back. I figured she had just gotten her phone taken away or something. I mean, I don't know what Mr. Stark does for punishments.
I went to school and met up with Ned.
"Hey Peter!"
"Hey." I said. I put my one headphone in as Ned caught up with me.
"You good bro?"
"Yeah I guess. Nothing to worry about." Boys usually don't meddle with feelings so when we say it's fine, it's fine.

I brought Ned over the Chloe's group. Hoping she would be there.
"Hey Peter." Emma said.
"Hey Emma. Has Chloe showed up yet?"
"No..." she responded in confusion.
"Why are you so concerned?" Theo asked.
"I'd like to hear the answer to that." Ned said raising his eyebrows. I crossed my arms and looked down at my shoes.
"We kind of have a bit of a thing."
"For how long?" Ross asked.
"Ummm...six months."
"Six months?! Chloe kept a secret from her best friends for six months?!" Emma took a few breathes then looked back at me. "I'm happy for you guys." She continued as the bell rang. I ran up the stairs and into my first class but Chloe wasn't there.

"Ms. Day?" The teacher questioned as he took role.
"She's not feeling well." I said and the teacher nodded and continued to take role. I looked over at Emma who looked concerned. God I hope Chloe's okay.

I went through the rest of the day worried. I sat with Chloe's friends like always but it didn't feel the same. She's usually the conversation starter so it was pretty awkward.
As soon as school was over, I ran into an alley way and changed into my suit. I then texted Aunt May to let her know I would be late for dinner. She didn't bother asking why which was good because I couldn't think of an answer.

I flew as fast as I could to Chloe's apartment. I crawled through the window and checked every room. "Chloe?" I called, but there was no answer. I checked every place we had gone to. The mall, the carnival, the ice skating rink, the cafe, but there was nothing. I figured I would give up and talk to Mr. Stark.
When I got there, I took off my mask and knocked on the door. It was opened by Steve Rogers.
"Hey Kid. I'm not sure if Tony is in the mood for talking."
"No Mr. Rogers. It's really important. It's about Chloe." He cocked his head in confusion.
"Was she not at school today, is she hurt?"
"If you let me in, I'll explain." He moved out of the way and we sat on the couch. I explained everything.

"So what are we going to do?"
"How about I take you to his lab and you can talk to him. We'll be here if needed." He brought me over to a large room that had glass all around it. I opened the door and saw Bruce Banner bickering with Mr. Stark. They immediately turned to me and I could see the anger in Mr. Stark's fave spread like a wildfire.
"Get out Peter."
"But Mr. Stark-"
"Get the hell away from me and stay the hell away from my daughter!"

"Tony. Calm down." Mr. Banner said putting an arm in front of Mr. Stark.
"You should not be telling me to calm down you green asshole!"
"Hey! Don't bring Hulk into this!" There was a second of awkward silence until Mr. Stark spoke again.
"Just tell me what you need then leave."
"It's about Chloe."
"Go on." He said in and aggregate tone.
"She wasn't at school so I assumed she was here. But when I came to the door. Mr. Rogers said she wasn't home. Last night she wasn't responding to my texts." I dropped my mask onto the floor and held my hands to my face. My heads were soaked from my tears. "I-i-I'm scared M-M-Mr. Stark. What if something happened." I cried. Suddenly I felt two arms wrap around me. "It's okay Kid. Everything will be okay." Mr. Stark said. He pulled away and ran immediately to his collection of computers.

"What's the plan boss?" Mr. Banner asked.
"I'm going to check her tracker and-"
"Wait...you track her?"
"Yes Bruce."
"No wonder she ran away."
"Not helping."
"Sorry." Mr. Stark quickly typed on his computer than slammed his fist on the table. "Damnit! She turned it off!"
"Can't you get it back on Mr. Stark?"
"Nope. Sometimes I swear she's better at computers than I am."
"Doesn't she have one of your artificially intelligent computer things?" I asked.
"She does but she made it herself so she's able to do whatever she wants with it."
"Tony? Should I get the team together?"
"Yeah..." Mr. Stark said. His voice was becoming shaky.
"It's going to be okay Tony. We're going to find her." Mr. Stark nodded and we ran out of the lab.
