Leaving For The Better

   Peter Parker is a gentle and happy soul that is surrounded by family deaths that never seem to get easier over the years. Even though these deaths of loved ones seem endless, he has a family now.

Ned Leeds is that one friend that is always there no matter what situation you're in. Peter didn't know how lucky he had gotten with him.

M.J is a girl that didn't really fit in with her gender. Don't get me wrong, she's a girl and accepts it but she's not like the rest. Her books are her getaway. That's okay. Peter loves her. More than she may ever know.

May Parker, a woman that did everything in her power to raise Peter with a good home and life. She did very well. Better than most and Peter, everyday, loves her for that. He did his best to raise the money for the home of theirs too.

Tony Stark, a man that was said to never have a heart that was warm enough to love others. Peter Parker proved to the world that everyone else was wrong. Tony loves his wife, Pepper Potts. He loves Peter Parker too. Maybe that's why it was so hard to say goodbye. Maybe that's why Tony tried his best to see it was better for the boy rather than staying with him.

Peter sighed as he closed his last suitcase. He looked around his room that looked abandoned. Now, he was going to see Tony Stark for the last time he would in about fifteen weeks. That was terrifying.

Peter heard a honk outside and saw that Happy had pulled up. Peter smiled before taking his three suitcases down the stairs and saying his goodbye to May, hugging her then kissing her cheek.

"Don't forget to wear protection," May shouted. Peters cheeks and ears burned red. He groaned and practically ran to the car to see Happy. The man was looking at the young adult through the window glass. The older man opened it with a genuine smile.

"You ready for one of the biggest milestones of your life, Pete?" Happy asked, the smile getting bigger.

"As I'll ever be Happy," the young adult looked a little bit sad.

"What's the face for?"

"It's all just hitting me that I won't . . . be here for a while," Peter sighed as he shifted in his seat.

"Well, you've got the best driver in the world to take you all the way there. Tony's orders," the man finished as he sat in his drivers seat, adjusted his buckle and pulled out of his spot. Peter starred out of his window at his apartment and realized that would be the last time he would see it for a while.

Peter arrived in the main room of the Stark Tower and smiled when Tony came around the corner. "Hey Tony," Peter grinned, teeth showing.

"Ah kid, come here." The man opened his arms and brought the kid to his chest. Peter hugged the billionaire back and felt as the man patted his back. They released and Tony couldn't help but look at the boy proudly. "All grown up and going to college," Tony shook his head at the thought. "Not going to lie, I'm going to miss you rambling to me about your day."

"I'm going to miss Pepper scolding you about all the stupid crap you do from day to day," Peter snickered.

"Hey, watch your mouth," Tony scolded.

"I'm twenty years old, Mr. Stark," Peter crosses his arms.

"And you agreed that you'd call me Tony from now on." Tony ran a hand through his hair before sitting down on the couch. "Oh my god, you're not a teenager anymore," Tony put his hands over his face.

"You're realizing this now?"

Tony removed his hands to look at Peter. "I can't believe it. You're leaving me for like three months," Tony shook his head.

"It's not going to be that long. I'll come home for Halloween. I love Halloween," Peter nudged Tony when he took a seat next to him. Tony looked at Peter like he hadn't slept in years. Peter smiled at the knowing look. Tony tackled the boy and Peter laughed when he began to get tickled.

Pepper walked in with her hands on her hips as she watch the grown men have a tickle fight. She looked at her watch then back to the boys. "Boys," she said sternly. The two stopped. Tony on top of Peter and grabbing his side whilst Peter has a hand on the mans chest and knee up to his stomach. They slowly sat up and cleared their throats.

"It's time for Peter to go. He'll be late for his flight," Happy came in next with a smile.

"Ready when you are kid."

The two men stood from the couch and sighed. Tony hugged the boy, tightly. He whispered in his ear, "have a fun time Underoos. I love ya. Don't Spiderman too much. Be safe and most of all, tell me about the girls ya meet." Peter laughed but smiled all the same.

"Bye guys, I love you," Peter waved for what felt the last time. Pepper and Tony were standing next to each other and wore big smiles. They waved back. Proud.

Maybe college isn't so bad. At least he knew there's a family at home for him.
