Water started to flood the cargo hold, pushing the cars forward. People cling to posts as the stream rushed past them.
On the upper level, passengers slide down the floor of the leaning ferry. The gap widens as the web strands continue to snap.
Peter leaped into the air thinking of something to do.

"Tony I know this isn't the time to experiment but that new power I discovered might be useful"
I said loudly to tony

"Try that to make sure everyone's safe and the cars don't sink!"
He said then flew off.

Peter had a hold of two strands of web, holding the ferry together.

Tony went to the right side of the ferry. I took a deep breath and tried pulling the ferry together. It didn't work. I looked at Peter and saw how frustrated he looked, I could tell even without even seeing his face.

I tried again and it started to work but not that much so I decided to leave tony to do his thing. I quickly went over to where the cars were sinking. Tony started to push the ferry together with some gadgets.

I tried using that new power to push the cars back on the ferry and it worked, they were all soaked through.
I helped calm some people on the ship and helped a few people who were in the water

"Yeah, Iron Man!"
A guy said loudly and clapped, everyone started clapping too.

I scoffed "of course I don't get any recognition."
I said under my breath

"Uh, Mr. Stark? Hey, Mr. Stark. Could I do anything? What do you want me to do?"
Peter said near me, to tony as he finished up putting the drones on the side of the ship.

"I think you've done enough."
Tony said and looked at me, signaling we were done. I flew away with tony.

Peter sat on the edge of a building, without his mask as tony flew over. I flew down as well but stayed a close distance but still away from them.

T: "Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch... I tell you to stay away from this! Instead, you hacked a multimillion-dollar suit so you could sneak around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do."
Tony said once he got down to peter.

I looked over to them watching how disappointed the two looked, for different reasons as well.

I had no idea peter hacked his suit, I'm glad I didn't know. The less I know about peter doing stupid stuff, the better.

P: "Is everyone okay?"
T: "No thanks to you."

I get that Tony's mad at him but that's a bit harsh. Peter had good intentions.

P: "No thanks to me?"
Peter scoffed and jumped up off the edge of the building.

P: "Those weapons were out there! and I tried to tell you about it! But you didn't listen! None of this would've happened if you had just listened to me... If you even cared, you'd actually be here."

Peter said and I felt embarrassed for him knowing Tony was actually here.
Tony stepped out of his suit and walked towards peter, fixing his blazer he had on.

T: "I did listen, kid. Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 14-year-old kid."
P: "...I'm fifteen."
T: "No, this is where you zip it, all right? The adult is talking! What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? 'Cause that's on you. And if you died... I feel like that's on me. I don't need that on my conscience."
P: "Y-Yes, sir... I-I- I'm sorry."
T: "Sorry doesn't cut it."
P: "I-I understand. I just wanted- I wanted to be like you."

I felt like I was intruding on personal business... but when aren't I.

"And I wanted you to be better. Okay, it's not working out. Well, I'm gonna need the suit back."

Tony said and I covered my mouth in disbelief.

P: "For-For how long?"
T: "Forever."

Peter shook his head with a shocked expression.

"No, no, no... Please, please, please..."
Peter said, now getting very teary-eyed.

P: "You don't understand. Please. This is all I have. I'm nothing without this suit."
T: "If you're nothing without this suit, then you shouldn't have it. Okay? God...I sound like my dad."
P: "I-I don't have any other clothes."

Tony looked over to me
"We'll sort that out. Y/n could you head down and find peter some clothes"

I nodded and peter looked like he just noticed I was there.

I went down to a shop and found the best clothes I could, which was an awful outfit.

Peter changed into the clothes and gave tony the suit.
Tony flew away but I didn't follow.

Peter, now off of the roof put his head in his hands and sniffled.

I walked over and pulled his hands away from his face. I pulled him into a hug and then said

"I'm sorry he did that to you. If I knew that, I wouldn't given you a warning or-or something"

I pulled away from the hug and looked at him.
He wiped his face.

"I should probably go home"
Peter said quietly. I nodded.
