other side of the mirror

chapter 5

Peter's POV

"So you own the stark industries and also an inventor ." he doesn't smile much .

"I don't understand your implication ." he murmurs not looking away from his blue screen .

"Mr stark is a futurist , inventor , philanthropist and one of most well dressed man I have ever known but he's also caring and expressive and you're so different than him ."

"I am me . nothing more , nothing less and that is enough ." his voice almost robotic . I have trouble sensing his mood , am I irritating him ? Should I stop talking ?

"Do you know Mr Stephen strange ? It should dr strange but I don't know if in this dimension he's a doctor or not ." his gaze sweeps all over my face , his expression still empty .

"So you don't believe in my capability then ? I assure you I did invented most of my manufacturing techs by myself , stark of your world isn't more brilliant than me ." okay , so he's definitely mad .

"No not like that I didn't , I mean I don't wanna be a bother . you're busy and I don't wanna waste your time and you don't even know me ." I feel nervous under such intense focus .

"If you were a bother , I would have gotten rid of you already . since you're still here indicates the opposite , don't
worry Mr parker you'll be where you belong ." his voice was same as Mr stark but the way he talked made me want to crawl somewhere deep and never show my face .

so passive aggressive .

"As for Stephen strange , I will look into it ." he closes his tabs and checks his planner . Mr stark always seemed to steer clear from meetings and official company work but this Mr stark seems to live for it .

"Can you do me another favor , Mr stark ? " he tells me to call him Anthony again.

"Anthony can you find out about may parker , she's my aunt ." he nods .

"I have to take my leave , I loathe to leave you alone but I have to ." he looks me straight in the eye like he wants me to stop him . I gulp down a whimper midway on my throat .

He's so intense .

And that was how my official first with Mr stark of this world went .

In other world

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN , YOU CAN'T FIND HIM?" Tony stark , iron man , avenger , millionaire and mentor of spider man aka peter Parker . shouted making other habitants in the room wince.

"There's no need to shout tony ." pepper chided tony .

"We are the mightiest team of heroes of the earth and we can't even find a nineteen year old ." he slumped in the sofa next to him , exhausted from his outburst .

He glares at Clint as he tries to pat him in the shoulder .

"Don't worry we'll find him ." Natasha murmurs with a straight face , who was equally worried for her fellow  arachnid .

"It's like the ground swallowed him , there's no trace of him ." Rhodes grumbled he had used every source available to find him but no such luck .

Avengers were worried to their youngest member , they still couldn't find a single trace about him . tony was the most stressed of them all over disappearance of peter . may on the other hand believed peter was out for science convention .

Pepper had lied through her teeth because tony surely would spilled the beans to her . may parker could be quite a mama bear , a very rabid , dangerous and highly destructive mama bear .
