Chapter Seven

Peter returned from his patrol only to find a note on his room's door that said "I'm out for a while. Stark Industries stuff. Love ya, dad" . Peter took the note inside his room and left it on his desk. now, what can a bored spider do alone- well almost alone, there are still a few of the Avengers in the building but in different floors- in the Avengers Tower? He sighed in defeat as nothing came on his mind. He started wandering around the Tower. And that's when he got an idea "Hey, Friday on which floor is my dad's lab?" "It's on the 36th floor, Peter. Shall I take you there?""Yes, please!"
Peter was curious to see his dad's workplace. I mean, he had seen it before but it was just a glimpse of it since usually they worked in an other lab and not Tony's. Now he has the whole lab to himself to explore it! As he reached the level, he went to leave the elevator but Friday stopped him "I must warn you Peter that Mr. Stark does not like people going in to his lab when he is not around. Thus, this action might get you in trouble." "But he won't know!" "I'm sorry, I failed to inform you that, I am complied to inform Mr. Stark of any presence in his private lab when he is absent. Having said this, I already informed him of your presence here." Great, now he's gonna be mad at me. "Thanks, Friday." "No problem, Peter." Peter snorted. You'd think that an AI would be able to recognize sarcasm but apparently this is not the case. He headed in the lab despite the fact that when his dad got back he would be in a lot of trouble. In the lab, there were scattered around parts of old Iron Man suits and his current one. On one table he found a pair of old repulsors. He tried them on and proceeded to pose Iron Man-like. "Wow, these are so cool!" He removed them and went further into the lab. There, he found a whole fricking Iron Man suit, probably the one he's been working on lately. It was on display in a glass box (sorry can't remember the proper name for these) and was shining under the lab's lights. Wait, he hadn't turned on the lights when he got there- oh. oh no. Peter slowly turned around and was met with quite a furious Tony Stark. "H-Heyyy dadd.." "Peter what are you doing here? Didn't Friday tell you that no one enters this lab except me?" "Yeah, but I didn't think that I would be forbidden too." snapped Peter back. Honestly, Tony was kind of overreacting. "Yeah, well guess what, you are forbidden in my lab. You can't just come in here like it's your lab." "I'm- I'm sorry I just... wanted to see were you worked and got your ideas for your suit... I didn't mess with anything.. mostly.." "What do you mean mostly? What did you touch?" "N-Nothing just....youroldironmansuitrepulsors.. but I didn't do anytning with them I just tried them on my hands and put them back down I promi-" "You what?! Peter, you could've blasted yourself with these! What the hell were you thinking?" Peter could just stare at him. He couldn't believe his was being serious about this whole thing. He had just wandered around in the lab he didn't touch anything else apart from the old repulsors! "You are not able to even control your own powers! What would've happened if your hands stuck on something and ruined it?" Tony was now semi-screaming. "Well, I'm sorry, you're right Mr. Stark, I could've ruined everything. I'm sorry for the inconvenience." Peter said bluntly and left the lab. Tony realised what he'd done when Peter hit him with the Mr. Stark."Peter, come on, Peter, I'm sorry, I said I'm sorry!" Peter turned around on the verge of tears "No, don't be sorry it was stupid of me to go in your lab without your permission. You were right. I could've ruined everything with my uncontrollable powers as I do everytime since I'm so useless." He jumped out the nearest window and swung towards- well he didn't know where he was going but he wanted to get air. He ignored the screaming Tony behind him, as he swung around the city, feeling himself calm down a little. He sat on top of a building, thinking about what Mr. Stark had told him.
"You are not able to even control your own powers! What would've happened if your hands stuck on something and ruined it?"
It's true though, in multiple occasions his hands and feet had stuck to hair, tools, paper, books, even his pen when he was writting. Basically, he is useless cause he always causes trouble because of his stupid abilities. God, how am I gonna go back there?
------------------------------------------------------------------
"Pete-Peter! Oh jeez, I should go after him.." "Don't." Tont turned around to find a half-angry Natasha Romanoff. "You've done enough for today, let him get some air." "What do you mean?" "I mean that you screamed at him for no fucking reason and then you practically told him that he is useless and ruins everything. Basically, you made him think that he is unwanted. And just a few days ago you told him that he is never unwanted here, yet here we are." Oh my god she is right. I'm so stupid! "Realization hit you, huh? Well, you better hope that Peter comes back tonight or I'll tear you apart." said Natasha and left. Where are you Pete? Tony sighed and sat on his lab chair. Truth is, he overreacted back there.
------------------------------------------------------------------
Peter hadn't even realised that it was almost night until his AI spoke "Peter, it's almost 10:30PM, you should head back to the Tower, you have school tomorrow and you need to rest." Peter yawned loudly "Thanks, Karen" "Your welcome, Peter." He swung towards the Tower and sat on top of it, taking in and admiring the view. It was beautiful. The night was beautiful too, a light breeze blew, hitting his face and brown curls. After a good twenty minutes he decided to head inside the Tower. He was really hungry and tired. Hm, I didn't do anything today but I still got tired, weird. He went to the kitchen to grab something to eat but almost shat himself when Friday popped out of nowhere "Welcome back, Peter. Shall I inform Mr. Stark of your presence?" "Do whatever you want, I'm going to my room." Peter shot back at the AI. He did not feel like talking to Tony at all. So, he sprinted to his room slamming his door behind. Tony heard a loud slam and of course his mind went to Peter. "Peter? Are you here? Hey, I'm sorry for what I said earlier, I just.. I don't know what got over me. Please, talk to me, son." The billionaire was now knocking on his kids door. What if something happened to him? What if he's not breathing?! What if he- "It's okay Mr. Stark I get it, you got angry at me.." Tony's heart wrenched at the Mr. Stark. "Please, open the door and stop with the Mr. Stark, it's breaking my heart to see you distance yourself from me like this." Just as Tony was about to give up, the spiderling opened the door, still in his suit. "Wow, Tony Stark has a heart?" said the younger with a snort, earning a laugh from the billionaire "Hey, that hurt!" they laughed together for a solid minute and Tony took the chance "I'm sorry for whatever I said before, Pete. I'm sorry for making you feel unwanted here. I actually am so stupid for telling these things to you. I was just worried you could've hurt yourself. I'm sorry." said the elder with a pleading look on his face. Peter didn't say anything. "Please talk to me ki-" he was cut off by Peter who pulled him in a hug. "It's okay dad, I kinda overreacted too.." "Thank God, I thought that you had regretted calling me dad. I got scared for a moment." Peter's laugh was muffled due to the fact that his face was in his dad's chest. "Speaking about dads and sons.. let's talk about those adoption papers, shall we?"
