A bit of drabble of what that would look like. Dad!Tony.

Peter was told to stay with the truck and protect the package but Tony was knocked down and he couldn't just stand by and watch him get killed. So, he abandoned his post. He should have done what he was told.

Seriously, only Peter Parker could find trouble at a simple dinner.

Peter should have seen the foot coming. But he'd closed his eyes to try and block out Flash's annoying smirk, so, when his foot collided with Peter's face, his head snapped back and his fingers slipped. He let go of the bars and fell. Peter doesn't think it's right to use his powers just to stop a bully, but Tony doesn't feel the same way.
