Closer Than You Think

3rd POV

Ten minutes after Tony passed out he was woken up by Nick Fury throwing water on his face.

"Ahh! What the fuck!" Tony yelled and opened his eyes.

"You're a mess Stark," Fury said with a sigh.

"Thank you Nick, I wasn't aware of that," Tony said sarcastically and rolled his eyes.

"Really, you need to get yourself together," he said.

"If you are done pointing out where I'm going wrong in my life can you tell me why the hell you're here in my house?" Tony replied in an annoyed voice.

"Right, we had a deal, Spiderman seems to be in trouble,'' Fury said.

"What kind of trouble?" Tony asked.

"He's single handedly fighting some guys with some high tech weapons, he could use some help," Fury explained.

''And you could have sent some SHIELD agents," Tony pointed out.

"We had a deal Stark," Fury said.

"Fine, I guess it's time for me to meet the Spiderling," Tony said with a sigh.

"Yeah and try not to fall asleep while you're on your way, I messaged you the kid's location, " Fury said.

Tony flipped him off before calling a suit and flying away.

When he got to the location he looked around for Spiderman but he was no where to be seen.

"Fuck, he's in the lake," Tony said before flying down and pulling him out.

Peter had just been thrown into the lake and he was struggling when he was suddenly pulled out.

Whoever pulled him out, put him to lay on the ground and he was shocked to see none other than iron man.

"Fuck, he can't know my identity, he'll think I'm just a stupid reckless kid and then force me to stop," Peter said in his mind as he lifted a small part of his mask up and spat out some water.

''Are you okay kid?" Tony asked.

"Yeah but what are you doing here?" Peter asked in a deeper voice so that Tony wouldn't recognize him.

"Saving your spider butt," Tony responded.

"How did you find me? Are you following me?" Peter asked panickedly. Did Tony know it was him.

"I don't know if you heard of SHIELD but they've been monitoring your superhero work and the director alerted me that you were in danger, " Tony explained.

"Why did they call you? And they've been monitoring me? Do they know who I am?" Peter asked.

"Only the director knows who you are and I asked him to respect your privacy and keep it that way, I don't even know who you are, all I know is that you're a kid with a heart of gold and you've managed to impress me. Fury was a bit uncertain about you so I promised him to take you under my wing," Tony said.

Peter mentally sighed in relief, Tony didn't know who he was but he was going to mentor him?

"Do I have to tell you who I am?" Peter asked, he felt like Tony would be disappointed to find out that spiderman was just plain old Peter Parker, and he would tell him that he was being reckless.

"You don't have to, you can keep your mask on, for now I'd like you to come back to the tower with me, I have something for you," Tony said.

Peter nodded his response, he got to go to the Avengers Tower. Well he had been their earlier but not as Spiderman.
