"Hey, woah, slow down Spiderkid, where do you think you're going." Tony called from the couch as he saw Peter race down the hall. It was early on a Saturday, way too early for Tony's liking but he had a telecom meeting in half an hour. He did not expect to see Peter Parker looking freshly rested and excited to be awake this soon.
"Goodmorning, Mr. Stark!" Peter said excitedly. He had quickly thrown on a t shirt apparent by the way he was just now readjusting it over his frame.
"Morning to you too. What are you doing?" Tony took a deep swig of his green smoothie as he waited for Peter to relax. Instead the teen started pulling on his ratty old sneakers while bouncing up and down to keep his balance.
"Captain…oof" he bounced into the doorway and leaned against it to continue tying "Captain Rogers invited me to go on a run." Tony raised a brow at this. He hadn't considered the ground speed differences between Pete and Cap. Tony had watched closely to compare strength but their combat movements were so different (swinging instead of running) that he never spent much time considering their ground speed. Then something else was pushed to the forefront of Tony's mind.
"Wait, is this just jogging or is it a race?" Concern marred Tony's features and Peter paused to look up at his mentor. He considered his response while Tony's mine reeled. Though the Avengers had come together once more, wounds still take time to heal. Tony hadn't completely trusted any one of them but even less so now. And he didn't know about how he felt about Peter being alone with Captain America. Not when the kid was his responsibility.
"Umm...I mean...I don't think it's a race. I'm not too competitive so I guess it all depends on him?" Peter answered cautiously as he grabbed sunscreen from a nearby medicine cabinet. Tony studied him carefully as he slathered his face and exposed arms. He sighed and finally stood from lounging.
"Just be careful, kid, can't have you wearing out the old man. He's like 90." He mumbled the last part under his breath. Peter chuckled and stood still in front of him expectantly as if waiting to be released to go out and play with his friends. Tony sighed and undid his watch only to wrap it around Peter's smaller wrist. "Prototype I'm working on. Simple things like heart rate and oxygen levels of course. GPS and connected to F.R.I.D.A.Y. if you need her. Working on integrating one for you so you have Karen with you without the mask. Maybe build a web shooter into it eventually too. For emergencies when you're stuck without your suit."
Pete rolled his wrist around and checked out the sleek look of the watch. Hoping that he wouldn't end up tripping, falling, and smashing the screen.
"Thanks Mr. Stark. I'll bring it back soon. I'll be your test subject." Peter chuckled. Tony furrowed his brows and was about to rush him out but paused. He reached up and wrapped a hand around the side of Peter's neck to rid him of a particularly obvious smear of sunscreen. Showing Peter his hand. Peter just laughed again, blushing at feeling so rushed, and was on his way. Tony laughed at his antics, wiping his hand on his pants without thinking.
"F.R.I.D.A.Y. I want constant updates on the Spider-Baby Monitor prototype."
