Iron Boy [Peter Parker x Male Reader]

Chapter Fifty One

      "Damn it, Charlie!" I yelled.
      He didn't respond.
      "Dammit!" I put my foot on the edge of a table and kicked it back. It toppled over, its contents going everywhere.
      The sound rang through the empty warehouse.
      I placed my armored hand on my helmet.
      "Shit."
      I let my hand fall.
      "Shit!" I placed my arms on another table and threw everything off it.
      "Y/N..."
      My eyes landed on the dead body, strapped to the table. It's skin as white as a cloud, expect for its lips which were green.
      "Fuck!" I snapped, kicking a chair across the room. It collided with a wall and shattered.
      My breathing slowed slightly.
      "Fuck..." I sighed.
      This was the fourth death this month. After the threat against Peter I forced him under my protection. Most of the time he came with us, but he wanted to stay back. I currently had several people keeping an eye on him.
      I think keeping Peter out of Doctor Toxin's grasp only made her more angry, but I wasn't giving him up.
      She's killed three more after that day and we haven't gained anything. No intel. No leads. Nothing.
      "Let's go home, Charlie," I said turning away. "Smoak, contact the authorities."
I blasted off into the sky and flew back to the base. I landed in the lab and stepped out of my suit.
I slumped into a chair and booted up the computer. I began to look through my searcher codes.
"Anything, Smoak?" I asked.
"No, sir."
"Anything happen with Peter?"
"No, sir, everything's calm."
Charlie landed next to my suit and came over to me, leaning against the table.
"When's the last time you slept, Y/N?"
"What's today's date?" I asked.
He gave me a look, "Go take a break. You need it. Get a clear head then come back and regroup. Take another go at it. Okay?"
"Sleeping won't help right now, Charlie."
"Don't make me call your dad. Go to bed."
I stared at the computer a moment longer before sighing, "Fine."
I stood up and made my way up the stairs heading for my room. Once I stepped inside I closed the door and set my glasses on the dresser. I began to take my clothes off as I made my way to the bed. Once I got there I fell onto it and covered myself.
It hadn't been five minutes before I slipped into sleep.

Peter POV

      I sighed and walked over to my window, seeing another man in a suit standing on the building next to mine. Making sure everything was okay.
      I love Y/N, but he's being way too protective.
      I can handle myself.
      May wasn't home and Y/N would kill me if I tried to leave, so I had nothing to do.
      I heard my phone ping and wandered into the kitchen to see what it was. I opened the text and scanned it.
      My eyes grew three times in size.
      It was a picture of Mj, gagged at the mouth and tied at the wrists and ankles. She was in the back of a car.
      The message read:
      "If you want your friend to live come to the attached address. And come alone. If I find out you contacted little Stark, I'll kill her."
      "Mj," was all I could say.
      I rushed into my room and got my suit, taking it out and stripping my clothes off.
      Once I was down to my boxers I slid my suit on and tightened it. I wandered into the hallway and down the hall, I dropped down the stairs and made my way to the service exit. I made sure no one was watching then dashed for the street, swinging away while following directions on my phone.
      When I was halfway there, my phone began to ring.
      Shit. It was Y/N.
      I stopped swinging and landed on a roof ledge.
      "Hello?" I said.
      "Hey, Pete. I was just calling to see how you're doing. I just woke up from a nap."
      "I'm alright. I just ate some lunch, just watching some tv now. It's good you finally napped, you needed sleep."
      "Yeah, yeah. You sure you're alright by yourself? I don't need to come over and check on you, do I?"
      "No, Y/N. I'm fine. Stop worrying."
      "That's my job," he said, "So long as you're doing alright, I'll leave you be. I love you."
      "Love you too."
      "Bye."
      "Bye."
      I sighed of relief then resumed my journey.
