Amnesia

Chapter 1

Peter lay in the med bay bed unconscious, as Tony held the boys hand.

Amnesia. That's what Bruce told him. His boy got amnesia.

Tony thought it over and over about what he should do. On one hand, he could gain the boys trust by telling him who he truly was and when he remembered, he would see that Tony would never lie to him but on the the other hand, he could use this to his advantage and lie and tell the boy that he was his father.

Tony was holding the boys hand when he started to wake. Peter tightened his hold then slowly opened his eyes.

Tony leaned forward and brushed his fingers against Peters cheek in a fatherly way as Peter got a baring of where he was.

He looked over at Tony with fear in his eyes, he blinked, then asked.

"Who are you? Where am I? Who am I?"

Tony smiled softly and spoke,

"Your name is Peter James Stark and you're at the med bay in my tower, my name is Tony Stark and I'm your dad."

Peter studied him for a minute then nodded slowly, "if you're my dad, wheres my mom?"

"Oh, she...um...she passed away when you were five, bud." Tony said softly.

Peter furrowed his eyebrows and just looked around the room.

Tony tapped on Peters hand to get his attention, "hey bambino, what do you say I get the doctor and see if we can get you comfortable at home."

Peter nodded as Tony got up, he went to leave but stopped and turned back around to plant a kiss on Peters forehead and then gave a squeeze to the boys hand and left.

Tony caught Bruce on his way back and stopped him.

"Bruce, we gotta talk." Tony said walking to a private room.

Bruce joined him, sporting a confused face and asked, "what's going on Tony?"

"I told Peter that I'm his father and you have to go along with it." Tony went right to the point.

"You lied to Peter?! Tony I can't go along with this! Why would you tell him that?!" Bruce exclaimed.

"Because its the truth, Bruce. And you have to go along with it or else." Tony gritted.

"Why would I go along with it?" Bruce asked.

"Because then Ross will have a fun time experimenting on a big green rage monster." Tony smirked.

Bruce glared then sighed, "fine Tony, but I know how this is going to end and its not gonna end well for you."

"Of course it will, seeing as you will do everything in your power to make sure Peter Stark won't remember anything of his life except that I'm his dad." Tony grinned.

Bruce glared then left the room with Tony following.

They entered the room to see May hovering near the bed while Peter looked at her confused.

"What are you doing here?" Tony gritted through his teeth and growled.  He forgot about this little annoyance.

Bruce smirked, thinking this would end Tony but he was wrong.

"What do you mean 'what am I doing here' I'm his aunt! I'm allowed to be here, why are you here?!"

"Because I'm his dad." Tony answered.

May looked shocked then glared at him, "no you are not. You're not even related to him!"

Tony went to respond but a shy voice spoke.

"What's going on?"

They both turned and Tony pushed past May which she put up a fight with but lost and was moved further.

"This woman is lying, I am your father, she was related to your mother and she wanted to take you away from me because she believed I was unfit to take care of you but she's wrong." Tony explained.

Peter just looked more confused then before.

"He's lying!" May spat.

"I'm not. Bruce, your uncle Bruce can tell you, he's your doctor bud, he treated you since you were a baby." Tony spoke.

Bruce just frowned and sighed, "he's telling the truth Pete. Tony is your father."

Peter nodded.

May screeched and went to attack Tony but someone held her back. She looked to see Happy, who looked at her with a glint in his eye.

"Happy, thank god, this women is trying to take my son away when he is injured and when I have a restraining order, get her off the grounds." Tony spoke, putting his arm around Peter who looked at Tony.

Happy nodded and escorted May out.

"Hey bud, I'm sorry about all that, I don't even know how she found out about you when I erased all contact with her after the incident." Tony spoke.

Peter nodded and leaned into Tony, nudging his head into the crook of his neck.

"Don't worry bubba, I'll protect you no matter what, and love you and care for you. Whatever it takes." Tony spoke.

Peter smiled, "thanks dad."

Tony just smirked and held his son.

With May and Happy

"Happy! You can't be going along with this! Its insane!" May spoke.

Once they we're outside, Happy let he go and looked around.

"I know, I know, don't worry May, I'll get to the bottom of this. Just wait til I contact you."

May nodded, "thank you Happy."
