Tony had taken it. His suit, Karen, his outlet, his identity.

Everyone felt the tension between the father and son but didn't want to comment on it.

Vision went up to the kid's bedroom and knocked gently before phasing through.

'Are you alright Peter?'

'Fine Vis.'

Vision walked over and sat down on Peter's bunk next to him, placing his Vibranium hand on his back. 'I'm not very good with emotions, but we are having some visitors who are better than me.'

That's when Nat walked in. 'Hey kiddo.'

She tilted her head and Vision left.

Peter snapped up off his bed. 'What are doing here? Who else is here?'

'Steve is having a friendly discussion with your father. Now what's wrong?'

Peter slumped back down onto the bed.

Natasha walked over to Peter and held his head. 'I saw the news. You gave me a huge fright Pete.'

'I just thought that I could work really hard and he could-He would-You know. But I screwed it up. I'm sorry I made you worry.'

Peter was now sobbing into Natasha's stomach.

'Does anyone else know?'

'No, nonono. Everyone would- everyone would freak out.'

Natasha let Peter cry there for about 20 minutes. 'I'm sorry Asha.'

'It's okay Pete, we all still love you.'

'I can't- I'm nothing without the suit.'

Natasha was not taking any of Peter's self hatred any longer.

She bent down to be eye level with Peter, his face red with tears, his eyes sitting in pools of sorrow.

'Kiddo, you were something before you had the suit. You are my nephew. You are smart, strong , brave, nerdy.' She gave Peter's cheek a little pinch, to which he gave a little grin, before continuing. 'And you're willing to stand up for everyone and everything you believe. And that Peter, is better than any super suit.'

She then gave him a tight squeeze.

'Thank you Asha.' Murmured Peter into Nat's shoulder.

'It's only because I love you.'

They stayed like that for another 5 minutes until Peter heard the whizz of an Iron Man suit.

'Why does dad need his Iron Man suit?' Peter thought he had said it in his head, but when Nat when, 'Oh Jesus Christ.' He became a little embarrassed.

'What Asha?'

'Well your other dad decided to come too, to see why your grades were dropping.'

Peter and Nat just gave each other a look before bursting out the door.

When they reached the living room, all hell had broken loose. Their glass table was in the midst of dropping in Steve, their couches were cut in halves and quarters with fluff everywhere and, now that the table had fallen onto Steve's shield instead of Steve, which had previously had been sitting on the wall, Steve was charging headfirst at Tony, who's new nanotechnology was only sort of working.

Nat quickly turned to Peter. 'Peter Jump.'

Steve hurled the shield at Tony's head at that moment and Peter knew he had no other choice.
