Stark is pacing around is lab when Peter arrives.

"You wanted to see me Mr Stark." Peter said sheepishly, walking in.

"Yes, I'm angry with you Peter."

"Why?"

"Because you disobeyed my orders. You hacked a multi million dollar suit to sneak around my back doing the one thing that I told you not to do!" Stark said, struggling for breath.

"I'm sorry Mr Stark." Peter apologized. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to." Peter walked towards Stark but Stark turned to him.

"Yes," Peter stopped and Stark began walking towards Peter. "You do not." Stark began to stopped in his tracks. "You don't." He said before swaying.

"Mr Stark, are you ok?" Peter asked, worried.

"I'm fine Peter, don't worry about me." Tony said stumbling and collapsing onto the ground.

"Tony!" Peter shouted running to him. "Are you ok?" He asked. He half sat Tony up but Tony waved his hand at Peter.

"I'm ok." Tony said before a sharp pain made him press his hand into his chest. "Forgot that, the arc reactor is failing and I need the replacement. It's over there on the desk." Tony says pointing to the desk. Peter goes and retrieves it. When he returns Tony is flat on the ground. "Have you got it?"

"Yes." Peter replied kneeling next to Tony.

"Now Peter listen to me, I need you to change the reactors over, but I might." Tony squeals. "Go into cardiac arrest. Have you done CPR?" Tony asks looking at Peter.

"Yeah, but that was 2 years ago."

"Great." Came Tony's reply as his body shook. "Pete I can't wait any longer you have to do it now. Just switch the wires, you can do it kid." Peter reached into Tony's chest and took the failing reactor out. Placing it one side he looked at Tony, who's gaze was distant. Quickly he put the new reactor in and connected it up. He looked back at Tony, who was now unconscious.

"Tony? Friday!" Peter shouted. "Read vitals!"

"No heart beat detected, CPR advised." Friday replied. Peter's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Tony. "CPR advised." Friday repeated.

"Ok Peter, ok." Peter told himself. "You can do this." Peter put his hands on Tony's chest and began chest compressions. "Come on!" He shouted, horrified and scared, pushing on Tony's chest. He heard Tony 's ribs crack and tears began to form in his eyes. "Don't leave me Tony, I need you." He called. "Tony!" Peter screamed before giving Tony two breaths. He continued chest compressions. "Come on Tony, come on." He said. The seconds dragged by until Friday spoke.

"Heart beat detected, stop chest compressions. Well done Peter." A millisecond after Peter stopped chest compressions Tony sat up gasping for breath. Peter darted away and fell against a wall while Tony gasped for air. After a few moments Tony breathing properly, relieved. Tony looked at Peter,

"You did it kid." He said before falling back onto the floor. Peter watched him and began to cry, putting a hand up to his face. Tony heard this and looked over, Peter met his gaze. "Pete." Tony said softly but Peter only cried more. Slowly Tony sat up and went over to Peter. He sat next to the crying boy and took him into his arms. Peter relaxed into Tony's arms and wept until they both fell asleep.

Stark was awoken by a phone call from Aunt May. He picked up the phone.

"Hello?" He answered.

"Peter?" May asked, knowing herself that it wasn't Peter.

"No. It's Tony Stark, Peter's with me he's ok. He's sleeping at the moment May."

"What happened Tony? Yesterday evening he went missing."

"I know May, he turned up in my lab about 10 minutes to midnight. I had a word with him about internship business and he fell asleep here so I put him in a spare room. I'm sorry if you were worried." There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "May?" Tony said again and May gasped on the other end of the phone.

"That kid is going to be the death of me Tony. I can't take it when he keeps disappearing and nobody knows where he goes to."

"I know May, trust me I know." Tony reassured her. "I thought that he'd be the death of me too but he's a good kid and he knows what to do." Tony said looking at the sleeping Peter resting his head on his shoulder. "If Peter gets into any serious trouble you can trust me to save him."

"Thank you Tony." May replied. "When Peter wakes up can you tell him…" May pauses, "Tell him…"

"Tell him what May?" Tony questions her.

"Nothing. He already knows." May said hanging up the phone. Tony looked at the phone, then put it down. Gently he lifted Peter up and carried him to a bed, tucking him into it Tony turned to see Bruce in the doorway.

"Are you ok Tony? It's 3:30am in the morning." Bruce asked him.

"Spiderman here fell asleep on me in the lab and I thought that he needed a bed." Bruce looked to see Spiderman asleep.

"Ok. Why was he in your lab in the early hours? What were you doing in your labs at that time?" Bruce asked.

"I asked Peter to meet me and we had a chat."

"Ok."

"Oh and my arc reactor failed."

"What?!" Bruce called out surprised and scared. "But Tony, if that thing fails, your heart stops and you go into cardiac arrest."

"I did, which is why it was good that the kid was there."

"Wait, he resuscitated you?"

"Yes."

"I need to run some tests Tony, to make sure that you're alright."

"Ok, but I need sleep first. We'll do it first thing tomorrow."

"But Tony."

"Tomorrow."

When Peter awoke he was calm and in a warm bed. He untucked the covers and stood up into the dark, warm room. He went and opened the door, his watch read a little past 7am. Peter walked into Tony Stark's lab and saw Tony lying on a bed wired up to an ECG while Bruce was busy around him. They were chatting.

"Tony." Peter said, unaware that he had spoken.

"Peter. How are feeling?"

"Much better Mr Stark."

"Good." Stark said relaxing back into the chair.

"Are you ok Mr Stark?"

"Bruce is just checking me know." Stark replied. "But I feel great."

"Don't lie Tony."

"Ok, I feel far from great."

"That's better Tony, you shouldn't lie to children."

"You really scared me Mr Stark."

"Yeah, I scared myself kid."
