Closer Than You Think

3rd POV

May was starting to worry about Peter, he never called her when he got to the tower like he usually did and he didn't reply to any of her messages. Why was he ignoring her?

Its not like he could have found out the truth...right? Iron man hadn't shown up to her door to blast her yet, and the police didn't come to arrest her either so that meant that none of them knew the truth, or at least she thought so.

Peter rolled his eyes as he saw May calling, he contemplated answering the call and giving her a piece of his mind but he decided to just hang up.

He decided that he will confront her in person, whenever he feels like it.
Peter went down to the lab and saw Tony lost in thought.

''Dad," Peter said catching his attention.

"Yeah? Is everything okay kid?" Tony asked.

"May keeps calling me," Peter admitted.

A flash of anger was evident in Tony's eyes upon hearing May's name.

"Is she harassing you? I can take care of it," Tony said.

"I haven't called her like I usually do so apparently she is worried about me," Peter said in a sarcastic tone.

"If I ever see her around you again I swear no one will be able to stop me from blasting her," Tony said

"I have to confront her eventually, I can't just ignore her forever, I also need to get my things from the apartment," Peter responded with a sigh.

"Or you can just block her number and ignore her forever, I can just buy you new things or I could send Happy to get your things from the apartment but I don't want May Parker to be anywhere near you," Tony said.

"She will come to the tower if I don't talk to her," Peter said knowingly.

"She wouldn't be able to get in," Tony responded and rolled his eyes.

"I have to talk to her in person, one last time. I just want to know why she hid the truth from me," Peter said.

"When you decide to talk to her...be careful," Tony said with a sigh. He knew that Peter was determined to talk to her and he also knew that he would want to do it on his own.

''She wouldn't hurt me," Peter informed him.

Tony bit his tongue to hold back a sarcastic comment and nodded instead.

"So what were you thinking about before I came here?" Peter asked.

"I was thinking about the rest of the team," Tony admitted.

"Really? I wish that I could see them again, I miss them so much," Peter said sadly.

Tony sighed, if he never saw Steve again it would be too soon but Peter missed the rest of the team...the rest of his family. Maybe he could convince the leaders of the UN to cancel the Accords.

If he was successful, the rest of the team could come back. Tony didn't have anything against them, they didn't know what Steve hid from him and they were only trying to help his friend.

Tony could tolerate Steve for Peter's sake, he's the only one who Tony would avoid, the rest of them were still his family.

He knew that they all cared about Peter a lot, they didn't know that he was back. That he was even alive. They helped look for Peter as much as they could, they deserved to know that Peter was fine and back home. They deserved to be there with him, like how it was before he got kidnapped.
