All is fair in love and war, that is unless there are superpowers, magic, and alternate universes, among other things. Earth-12. Formerly known as A Light in the Darkness. This story is in the process of rewriting as I've noticed some things don't make a lot of sense and there are a lot of time jumps. This was my first story and it's improved a lot since the beginning.

How broken do you have to be before you're shattered? Keefe has been taken. Snatched, he struggles to find his way home. But, where is home? Tam is cracking. He thinks he's the cause of this. It's awakening feelings he's so desperately shut in the depths of him. Sophie is panicking. Her friend is missing and his blood has been splattered. Time is ticking and soon it'll be all over.

Tony Stark would never describe his relationship with his father as anything other than difficult. So what would possess him to agree to become the guardian of some random kid from Queens? Peter Parker lost his parents when he was barely old enough to remember them. But when tragedy strikes again during the Stark Expo, it's none other than Iron Man, his hero, who rescues him.
