I have come to fix what Marvel has ruined. Our beautiful pepperony pizza. This is my first Marvel fic actually lol. Alright so this is going to be set at the same time as Spiderman: Homecoming so expect lots of Spidey (also expect lots of Pepper and Tony) (Enjoy! Or you know don't, i'm not going to make you)
Tony cruised over the tops of buildings in his usual hot rod suit over Queens. The bricks weaved around underneath him as he floated aimlessly. The town was unusually quiet today and clouds shrouded the skies. Tony hadn't felt like himself for a while now. He felt like at any second he could break down and cry and that was completely unlike him. The thought of breaking down itself made him want to barf but his life just hadn't been very peachy lately. He felt like he just needed a big break.
Helping the crime fighting spider was one of the only things that seemed to cheer him up. When he was just by himself he thought about Pepper, occasionally his mind would drift to his parents, and an overwhelming sense of regret tended to wash over him. Sometimes he would just stare at the shield his father had made for Cap with sadness and the hurt of betrayal.
Another thing that helped him keep his mind off all the things that had gone wrong and yet was one of the biggest reminders was the time he spent helping Rhodey get back on his feet. His best friend always had a fun happy spirit despite the things that had happened to him.
Tony landed with a thud outside of Peter's apartment. His metal suit opened up and he stepped out of it." Get on the roof and wait. Try to stay on high alert for once." He tapped the head of the suit and it flew off. Tony watched it go before turning around. He straightened out his jacket and stepped inside the musky lobby of the small apartment building. It always surprised him to see how small it was. He shook his head before heading upstairs. He knocked on Spider-lings door.
It quickly opened up and there stood Peter's attractive Aunt. Tony flashed a usual easy smile." Hello there." The brunette smiled right back at him." I'm assuming you're here for Peter again?" She took a step back, motioning for him to enter the apartment. Tony nodded, walking inside slowly." Mr. Stark! Didn't know you were coming by today." Peter hopped off the couch with raised eyebrows. He pushed his hair back and his lips lifted in a secret grin." Well the world is just full of surprises, isn't it?' Tony nudged the kid towards his room.
Peter gave Aunt May a look that said 'we'll-just-be-a-minute-or-so". He walked into his room and Tony trailed after him." If you've come to give me a new suit, I'm not complaining or anything, but I'm really just getting used to this one-"
"That's not why I'm here kid." Tony cut him off, glancing around the room with curious caramel eyes." Just came to check up on you, make sure you were okay." Peter looked down at himself before flashing Tony a thumbs up." Yeah, I think I'm alright for now."
Tony nodded, sitting on Peter's bed." No big evil bad guy loose in Queens at the moment?" He asked, staring at the posters hung up on Peter's wall. Peter tapped his chin before shaking his head." Not that I know of Mr. Stark...are you alright because you seem kind of out of it today." Peter waved a hand in front of Tony's face until he finally looked up at him with a classic eye roll.
"Why wouldn't I be?" Tony asked with a tired sigh. He was good at keeping his feelings to himself and appearing okay even if his insides told a different story. Peter shuffled his feet and scratched the back of his head." Yeah, I'm sure you, are. Mr. Stark is there a reason why you are here? There's no way you just came here to see me. I mean that's totally cool, you can do that if you want, but I just don't really see that happening like...ever."
Tony shrugged his shoulders before pausing for a moment. His eyes flashed with an idea." Yes, there is a reason. Meet me outside." He clapped a hand on Peter's shoulder before walking out of the room and through the living room." As always, a pleasure." He told Aunt May with a wink. He walked out of the room and headed down the stairs. He passed back through the lobby and stepped outside breathing in the afternoon air." F.R.I.D.A.Y send me my suit." He said and looked up towards the roof of the apartment. He saw a flash of bright red and his suit landed on the concrete beside him. It opened up and Tony stepped inside.
Comfortable and happy to be back in his suit again he relaxed. A few moments passed by and Tony tapped his metal wrist with a metal finger impatiently. His eyes scanned the sidewalk while he waited. He spotted a cat walking towards him and he crouched down beside it." Aw how cute." He murmured, running his hand over the cat's gorgeous black fur.
"Mr. Stark?" He heard the voice come from behind him. Tony internally groaned and quickly stood up." Right, lets go." He cleared his throat and spoke in a manlier voice than usual.
Peter held back the laugh trying to escape past his lips. He was already dressed up in his Spiderman suit." Where are we going anyway?" He asked curiously, the only response he got was the robotic noise of the Iron Man suit." Mr. Stark? Aren't you going to tell me where it is we are going?"
Peter watched the iron head turn towards him." Just keep up." Tony answered, taking off into the air." Of course." Peter muttered, he shot some webs at the building and flew through the air after Tony with questions on his mind.
Tony's suit flew through the city and he began to realize that the journey would be a long one. He kept his eye out on the horizon and for hours Tony flew with his suit and Peter hopped from building to building underneath him. Peter enjoyed the exercise and Tony appreciated the time to think. It was absolutely perfect but as quickly as it came it ended and the sun began to go down behind the trees.
Tony swooped lower with his suit." Hop on my back kid and enjoy the rest of your flight." He told Peter, who did so gratefully. He had begun to wear down and tire, not that he would admit the weakness to Tony. He let his eyelids fall closed as he clung to the Iron Man suit.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y get us to Malibu. It's time to straighten some things out and visit some old friends." Tony whispered before closing his eyes as well. The last thing he remembered was F.R.I.D.A.Y's voice before he fell asleep." As you wish sir."
As far as beginnings go, that one wasn't bad. ;) Lol anyway, not my best but it'll get better so hang tight with me people. Rhodey and Pepper and Happy are joining the cast in the next episode of: I Have No Idea What I'm Talking About Ever. Stay tuned.
