THIS is one of my favorite chapters. It has Hulk! Well really it has Bruce, but still. It's also the first sign of a problem that isn't made apparent until the second book! Enjoy.
Warning: Yaoi(always) bad words(again!) Peter get's drugged

Ch.7 "Healing Wounds"
He glared at the clock: 11:59 PM. Tony sighed.
"JARVIS," he muttered, "play recording 012"
"Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Tony, Happy birthday to you."
Tony sighed again. His little Spider sang like an angel. He could hear Peter's crack a little as he sang the last note, like he was about to cry. Natasha was sitting beside him, a very concerned look on her face.
"Tony? I'm sure Pete's fine. Stop beating yourself up like this." Natasha drew her thick Russian accent into the air.
"God, Tasha, I don't know if I can live with myself after this." Tony muttered.
"Sir, incoming hallomessage from SHIELD helicarrier." JARVIS's automated voice pooled through the room.
"Accept." Tony sighed.
He let strings of greenish light display a 3-D picture of Bruce Banner.
"Happy Birthday, Tony. How ya doin'?"
"Terrible. Cut to the chase."
"He's fine, he released the armor at the last minute and had to fight him hand-to-hand. He got hurt pretty badly but he's hanging in there and I think he could use some company."
A smile flashed across Tony's face, "my little spider's okay? I'll be there in a minute." He hung up and whispered his words from the night before, "if something were to happen to you, I would kill myself," to say the least, Tony didn't feel very billionaire, genius, playboy, philanthropist-y. He knew the spider had changed him. He didn't care.
Later, at the SHIELD helli-carrier.
"Where is he?" Tony demanded.
"He's fine, Stark," Fury assured him.
"I want to see him," Tony growled.
Bruce stepped in and motioned for Tony to follow, "he's pretty beaten up but at least he's stable., come on back, Tony."
Bruce led him o the room where a squished spider somehow managed to survive. He saw his little spidey laying in a hospital bed all bruised and broken. He took a seat beside him and held the Spider's hand.
"Spidey? Wake up. If you can hear me, I want you to wak up. I need you, Spidey." Tony cooed.
The Spider's eyes almost flickered open, but slammed shut. He wanted his lover to know he was alright, so he tried his best. "T-tony… " was all he could manage.
"I'm here," he whispered, "my little Spidewy." He turned to Bruce, "how long will he be in here?"
"Just a couple months, then some recovery time at home." Bruce explained, "he has some vital damage."
"Okay my ass," Tony muttered and Bruce laughed.
"He'll be in a cast for a while" Bruce frowned, "believe me, I was upset too when I found out. Almost broke my longest streak without an accident. Big guy decided he liked Peter too since they beat the energy man together."
"Hulk, smash Venom symbiote by symbiote," he chuckled as a stream of tears ran down his cheek.
"You know, when they brought him in he was screaming for you. I had to give him a shot to calm him down. You guys are too close, he was getting hysteric."
Tony refused to leave, and ended up staying there the whole night by his Spider's side. When Peter finally woke up, he had to shake Tony awake. Gently, of course.
"Tony?" he whispered, "I'm sorry."
Tony's eyes opened drearily, then he lifted his head to meet his love's gaze. "As long as you're safe," he sighed.
"Venom's a monster. If the physical strain isn't enough to brake you, he gets in your head and brakes you down from the inside. I was so scared, but I didn't want you to get hurt too. He seems to have some… fascination with me."
Tony smiled, "It's okay, Peter. I'm here now." Tony's voice always calmed Peter down. He didn't want Tony to leave. Not now. Not ever. If it wasn't healthy to be around him 24/7, he didn't care. Maybe Spiderman should "come out of the closet" and fight alongside Iron Man. Too risky. Aunt May would know. He could see it now, Aunt May making him wear a sweater to go catch crooks, Tony freaking every time he got a scratch in a fight, Jameson calling him a bad role model (and, of coarse, a menace). Peter shuddered. Maybe when he turned 18. Meanwhile, the city still needed their friendly neighborhood Spider Man and the world needed Iron Man.
Tony visited every day. His favorite was when they put him on drugs for surgery.
"Spidey Man! Spidey Man! Does whatever a Spidey can! Can he poke Tony Stark?" Peter poked Tony, "YEAH he can! LOOK OOOOOUT! Here comes Spidey-Man! HEY TONY! When did you get here?"
Tony was too busy laughing his ass off to respond.
"What's so funny?" Peter shook his head, "PSSSSST! I gotta tell you a secret! Me and Iron Man are in loooooooove!" Peter giggled, "Don't tell my boyfriend Tony!"
Tony continued laughing hysterically as they took Peter into the surgery room.
Tony visited every day till he could take Peter home. Just as they were about to leave, 'Tasha stopped them.
"Tony, I hope you don't mind, but I got an ultrasound and-" Natasha paused as Peter had his hands over his ears, "do you not want to know the gender or something? 'cause that's not what this is about."
Peter shook his head, "Crazy Spidey-sense."
Tony face palmed. "Shit… Natasha, Webs, hide. You can't fight like this"
"But Tony, I-" she was cut off again as the hellicarrier shook violently and almost sent she and Peter to the ground, but Tony caught them.
"We lost an engine!" Fury announced, " Stark, Nova, keep us in the air."
Tony glared at Peter and Natasha with a sigh. "Stay out of trouble." He warned them and flew off with Sam. As soon as he got a visual he activated his communicator.
"Fury, we have a problem."
