Welcome to spider-shots! this one is about peter in a business meeting. and a bit of proud irondad! 

_-3-_

peter fixes his tie and fiddles with his fingers. in about 13 minutes (that's the time he has to leave if he wants to be fashionably late. in reality he'll leave in about 10) is his first meeting. 

_-3-_

peter shifts uncomfortably in his shoes as the elevator comes to a stop on the business floor. his cuffs seem to be itchy and the floors looking rather interesting today. 

'mini-boss, Mr. stark told me to tell you to: "keep your head up high, go get em, Bambi!"'

Peter smiles at the voice recording FRIDAY plays. he turns his head up to face the opening doors as he begins his walk to the meeting room.

he plays on false confidence as he walks. he can hear the slightly heeled boots he's wearing clink on the linoleum floor. he holds his info folder deathly close to his body and continues to keep his head up. 

he takes a sharp left and comes face to face with the door. he puts his hand on the handle and slowly pushes in inwards. 

then he hears it. 

'that's the heir to Stark Industries?' his confidence seems to plumbit even lower then he thought it could. but he tells himself that the man who said it is a stuck up no good boomer. 

the meeting starts and Peter starts talking. "we are here to discuss the future of S.I making any sort of weapons for war or any such commissions." several heads nod and he continues. 

"I, Peter Parker the heir to Stark Industries am here as a substitute for Ms.Potts as she could not attend." he clears his throat. "shall we get started?" 

_-3-_

"Mr.Parker! we know that S.I no longer takes weapon commissions for any occasion. but what about war?" voices around the table mutter in agreement.

"Mr.Davis please explain?" Peter asks.

"well, if on any occasion the U.S is caught in an altercation with another country. Would Stark Industries mind producing weapons for the protection of our country?" 

"you mean mass production of highly deadly weapons? no, I don't think so." Peter answers. "what if they got in the wrong hands. I think the U.S is more than capable of defending itself without the help of Stark Industries."

another man speaks up and it's right about now, at this moment he notices the lack of women around the table.  peter resists the urge to run his hands through his hair. he knows that's a sign of weakness and stress.

so he tenses his body to prepare himself. but nothing could have prepared for this question. 

"what about the accords?"

Peter tries not to sound offended, "excuse me?"  

"Tony Stark got in an argument with the rouge avengers! he didn't seem to mind using his weapons for a petty argument, why not war!"

Peter takes a deep breath. 'well shit' he thinks. 'no one told me they'd ask about that!" 

"The accords were not as petty as you make them out to be. as for these 'rouge avengers' you speak of, they've been pardoned. the accords are settled. I don't think we need to bring that up." 

"you're just deflecting! I'm talking weapons, if Stark used his weapons for a battle against a small group of people, which, by the way, is so unimportant compared to war!" 

the man in grey, as Peter refers to him yells. 

"The answer is no." 

"young man! do you even know about the accords! about weapons, about war!."

"don't lecture me about the accords, you didn't fight for it!" 

"This meeting is over. Stark Industries doesn't make weapons anymore."

_-3-_

after the businessmen filed out of the room Peter sits in his chair with his head in his hands.

'did I lose my cool?'

'they're right. I'm too young to do this!'

he stayed in his head until he realized he'd already made his way to the elevator as it headed up to the pent-house.      

when peter stepped out, Tony enveloped him in a tight hug. 

"M-Mr.Stark?" he asked. when Tony didn't reply he wrapped his arms around the inventor. 

"M-"

"good job, kid." 

Peter almost cried. 

he didn't lose his cool. he was fine the way he was.

he did a good job.

"Thanks, Mr.Stark. but I really need to get out of these shoes."

_-3-_

woop woop. oneshot done! yes, Peter wore heels. no, I will not argue with you.
