Pairing: Peter Parker x Stark!Reader
Featuring: Cindy Moon, Tony Stark
Warnings: none
Summary: You and Cindy Moon have been best friends since middle school. Your dad is struggling to figure out the identity of Spider-Hero Silk. You and your boyfriend, Peter Parker, know that Cindy is in fact Silk but don't tell your dad. Chaos ensues.
Author's Note: This is also girl-next-door-writes 's Make Me Feel Bingo challenge for the square mistaken identity. This was an idea I scrapped a year or two ago and thought it was the perfect time to actually use it! Also, in this, it focuses more on the friendship of you three more so than the relationship between Peter sorry not sorry.

Hand in hand, smiling wide and trying not to roll your eyes at everything Peter said was a far too common thing in your relationship. You two were on the way to Stark Tower to work on homework and hang out like nerdy couples do. But when you walked into the main living part of the tower, both of you got quiet when you realized what your father was watching on TV.

"Whatcha doing?" You strolled over and sat on the couch next to Tony, watching the news.

"Shh," He shushed. "I'm concentrating."

Peter sat next to you and furrowed his eyebrows, looking at the TV and back to Tony. "Concentrating on what?" Peter asked, and you looked at the TV to see a few videos of a person in black, white, and red zooming by.

Tony sighed. "I'm trying to figure out who Silk is. It was really easy to figure out that you're Spider-Man," Tony gestured to Peter. "But now I'm stuck."

You giggled a little bit when you looked down at your phone with a text from Cindy Moon.

Cindy: I'll be there in 10

"Yeah, it's hilarious how easily you figured out Peter, dad, but you can't figure out Silk at all. I guess she's just that much better," You joked.

Tony groaned and paused the playback. "Peter, you really haven't found out anything about this girl?"

Peter shook his head. "Nope. She doesn't talk to me much, and we kinda keep to our sides of the city," He said, like a liar.

It had become a running joke between the three of you that you both know that Cindy is Silk, but for some reason, your dad can't figure it out. You think that because he knows Cindy and knew her before the spider bite, he doesn't realize the similarities and can't picture Cindy being Silk. He didn't know Peter before Spider-Man, so it was easier to put it together, but with Cindy, he doesn't want to see it. Peter agrees with that theory and just thinks Tony is forgetting about Cindy and making it way more complicated.

Cindy doesn't have an opinion; she just cares that he hasn't figured it out. She's heard the lectures Peter gets and doesn't want to deal with that. Mostly since your dad has known Cindy since you two were in middle school, he would be all the more protective, and she was worried he would try to stop her from being a hero.

"Maybe you should take a break," You said to your dad, and he paused the TV. "I don't really see why you want to know so bad; she's not doing anything wrong. If anything, it seems like she wants to help."

Tony looked at both you and Peter, who seemed to be enjoying this a bit too much. "I know she's not doing anything wrong. But it's driving me crazy that I can't figure it out. I figured Peter out immediately! Why can't I find Silk? I'm supposed to be good at these things," He complained, and you had to hold back your laughter.

Luckily, when you opened your mouth to speak, you were cut off by FRIDAY announcing your guest was here. "Oh, hey, Cindy!" You called over to her, finding it just a bit ironic how close the timing is.
