"Don't make promises you can't keep"

Peter flinched in his father's hold when John's snarled reached his ears. Steve shielded his son from the man's view and glared "Stay away from my son or else I swear to God I'll kill you with my bare hands"

John started laughing and straightened his clothes. Anger and hatred radiated from his eyes and Peter shivered lightly. He bunched Steve's coat tightly from behind pressing himself further. Steve scowled at the man who dared to hurt his son "What is so funny?"

Suddenly Peter felt a soft vibration on his side and he glanced down to see Steve's phone was ringing, flashing Tony's name on the screen. Since his body was mostly out of John's view, he quickly reached out with his hand and dipped into the pocket and slide his thumb on the green button

The sneer in John's eyes extended to his voice "You won't be able to save him from me!"

Tony frowned. That was definitely John's voice. Who was he talking to? Why did he have Steve's phone? And Save who? He remained silent and decided to hear rest of the conversation.

Peter removed himself from Steve's hold and looked at John. His Dad was hopefully listening to their conversation and this was his last chance to expose John "You won't be able to hurt me again. Pops is here and soon Dad will know your intentions"

"And who's gonna say to Tony? You?" John barked out a humorous laugh "For that you'll have to step out of this house and believe me bug I've no intention of letting you go"

Steve stood protectively infront of Peter "Don't forget I'm still standing alive in this room. I won't let you hurt my boy"

John shook his head with an amused smile "Just leave Stevie. Tony has already thrown you out of his life. You two are no longer together"

"It doesn't matter if Tony and I are not together now. I'll always love him until I take my last breath"

Tony's heart skipped a beat

John scoffed "Your words mean nothing to me or Tony. He is my present and I'll make sure he stays with me for rest of his life. You and this bug will never..."

"I bet you said these words to Charles too right?" Steve cut his words off and grinned when John's eyes widened in shock "Charles? How do you know about him?"

Peter's hand went to his side rubbing off the sudden ache he felt. He was little confused wondering what was his father talking about

Steve crossed his arms "I'm sure you'll be happy to know that Charles...your dear husband is...alive"

Peter's eyes widened

"What?" John whispered in utter shock "No.. you're lying! Charles is dead!"

"No he's not! He faked his death to get away from you when you tried to kill him"

Peter was shocked at the news. John tried to kill his own husband?

"Charles even told me about you have anger issues. You're taking anti anger meds on regular basis. He also said you hate childrens and that was the reason you tried to kill him because he wanted to adopt a child"

Peter swallowed thickly. John was truly a dangerous man. Suddenly he scrunched his face when the pain doubled in his side. The boy pressed his lips to stop himself from crying out loud but soon few painful coughs wacked through his body that left him breathless. What was happening to him?

Steve did a quick glance at his son who gave a small nod saying he was okay. He then turned back around to John "I can even call Charles here. He'll will expose you infront of Tony"

"You bastard! I'm going to kill you!" John yelled knowing his game was over. He charged at Steve like an angry bull

To say Tony was shocked would be understatement. The hand holding his phone started shaking. His eyes stared infront feeling nothing but void. His mind was sent reeling, unable to comprehend or process what he just heard. John's husband was still alive? John is taking anti anger medicines? John lied to him? He hates kids and now...now he wants to hurt Peter...his boy.. his baby?

Tony heard a yell which was enough to break him out of shock "Steve? Hey can you hear me? Steve!" his heart pounded threatening to leap out of his chest. What was going on there? Was Steve okay? What about Peter? He jumped from the chair and rushed out of his cabin "Pete? Peter! Steve... somebody answer me!"

John slammed himself on Steve wrapping his arms around his mid section and pushed backwards. Steve stumbled dragging John with him, barely missing Peter on the way "Pops!"

"Peter stay back!" Steve shouted and landed on the floor, his phone slipped from his pocket and slid under the couch.

John started droving punches on Steve's side who caught his arm after fifth punch. He pushed the man off him and kicked at his stomach. The fight continued for few minutes both struggling to get the upper hand

A sudden gush of pain jolted through Peter's body. His side throbbed, arms lost all the tension and legs weakened. The pain was getting so excruciating that he could hardly get any air to breathe properly. And then suddenly his toungue was soaked in blood. The boy gagged at the taste and desperately looked at his father for help

Steve wiped the blood off his lips and staggered few steps back. He was not a professional fighter and John seemed to be good at fists. Still he kept going because his son's life was on line. He would keep fighting until his last breath if it meant to keep his baby safe

John was in his own world that was filled with nothing but rage. Right now he had only one goal in his mind. Destroy the two people who tried to ruin his happiness. His anger had completely taken control over his mind as he faught with Steve with full force

Peter doubled over and let out a silent gasp. Blood spilled from the corner of his mouth and his vision blurred. He wanted to call out to his father, to tell something was wrong with him but the pain was making it very hard for him to concentrate. His knees buckled and he went down in a heap, finally shouting at Steve for help "Po...POPS!"

Steve froze at the pained sound. He turned around and his eyes widened at the sight "Peter"
