Peter Parker One Shots

Robot

Set during the five year time skip. Requested by loveyall3000
When Tony had gotten back from Titan, he had been distant and after his argument with the other Avengers he had locked himself in lab and refused to talk to anyone that wasn't Pepper, Rhodey or Happy. He occasionally spoke to Bruce, but that was very rare.

For a period of time he was just grieving. Then he realised that he was supposed to be a Genius. He should be able to come up with a solution to help him.

So he got to work. He tinkered and experimented and failed multiple times, but for him, the end result was worth it. He had successfully made a robot Peter. He had programmed the machine perfectly, everything he knew about Peter and his information had been crammed into hard drives that resides in his head. He was covered in a fabric that almost looked like skin with the most realistic wig he could find that was similar to Peter's hair. The Machine was dressed in Jeans and an old science pun t-shirt he had ordered online with one of Tony's old jackets thrown on top.

Tony slowly started leaving his lab more, but he still spent most of his time locked in there. He spent time with Robot Peter and he often bickered with the Robot the same way he used to with the real Peter.

Tony had done such a good job making Robot Peter, that he often overlooked the fact that it was a robot.

At this point on time it had been a few weeks since Robot Peter had been activated and the other Avengers had stumbled across him a couple of times, while they were doing whatever they were doing at the compound.

They had originally found it weird there was a teenager walking around the compound, but got over it quickly when they discovered it was a robot, a scary realistic robot, but still a robot.

Anyway, the first reminder Tony got that reminded him that Robot Peter wasn't the real Peter was when he accidentally set it up where a vine could easily be quoted.

"Hey Peter could you read that for me?"

"Sure." Tony frowned at that. Usually there would be a snarky reply or a vine quoted whenever he said that to Peter. He went to ask the kid what was wrong and as he opened him mouth he realised that this was a robot. Not Peter. Tony should have remembered that, but he had forgotten. It reminded him how Peter wasn't actually there and Tony absolutely lost it.

He broke down crying and when Robot Peter came to help Tony. He just pushed the robot away. After that he temporarily shut down the Robot.

Then a few weeks later, Tony got the guts to reactivate Robot Peter. It went well at first and everything went back to normal as it could.

He found out Pepper was pregnant and he was so happy. So happy that it slipped his mind again, that Robot Peter was a robot, and Robot Peter cannot do things that the real Peter could do.

So one day when he was happily going around his lab with Robot Peter packing some stuff up to be moved to the new house he had bought by a lake, he called Peters name and chucked a wrench in his general direction for the robot to catch and out in the box in front of it.

The metal wrench only hit the robot in the face and landed somewhere on the floor, it hadn't been caught and placed in the box like real Peter would have. It threw Tony off again, why wasn't it caught. Peter has his Spidey senses, he should have caught it. Again, Tony remembered. However he didn't break down crying this time, or shut the Robot down. He just stood there for a while, doing absolutely nothing.

Stuff like these happened multiple times, until Tony realised that Robot Peter wasn't helping him, it was holding him back. He felt with Robot Peter around he couldn't be happy, because if he did, he just ended up feeling guilty.

So he scraped Robot Peter. He realised if he kept Robot Peter around. He wouldn't ever feel happy. He realised Peter wouldn't want him moving around, he want him to take of Pepper and their baby. So, he did what he thought he had to do.

Not sure if this is what they wanted, but it kind fit their general request.
