Chapter Five

"So…whats next on the tour?" Ned asked as he shoved a cheese fry into his mouth.

"Well…knowing my dad more than likely an extravagant show to showcase me as his son for the whole world to see." Peter said as he was about to take a bite of his burrito.

"Yeah, probably with a large display of fireworks." MJ snorted.

"I can't get over the fact that this is actually happening." Ned said with a chuckle as he continued to munch on his fries.

"Well…I'm not really. Honestly, this is my dad we're talking about here. He lives to embarrass me—just wait until he introduces me to everyone, I'm sure its going to be over the top." Peter pouted.

"Oh stop pouting you big baby." MJ rolled her eyes as she stabbed a tomato with her fork, "So what, your dad is Tony Stark and owns this company and is an amazingly conniving person who plans all the crazy things and takes it over the top all the time. What's the big deal?"

"What do you mean 'What's the big deal?', MJ?! Literally that is the big deal!"

"What are you and Penis Parker talking about over here, MJ?" Flash said as he sauntered over.

"What did you just say?"

Everyone turned around and looked at the person who had uttered the sentence. It was Tony Stark…in the flesh. Peter started choking on his burrito, Ned had to hit him on the back to help him out. Flash's mouth dropped down and hung open in shock, MJ snorted and turned to take a sip of her drink trying desperately not to choke on the fizzy soda.

"I don't like to repeat myself so I will only ask once more young man… What did you just say?" Tony growled to Flash with and each emphasized word he took a step closer to his target of his anger.

"Uhhhhhh…." Flash uttered intelligibly.

"Well?"

"Uhh…I just asked what they were talking about, s—sir." Flash stuttered.

"Right, so lets back up to the part where you called my son a penis, shall we?" Tony stated dryly.

Flash stood there with his mouth (still) agape not processing what was just said to him by the Anthony Edward Stark.

"Yes, by that stupid, shocked and blank expression on your face and in your eyes, I can tell that you didn't know that Pete here is my kid. Well, surprise, surprise he is and the fact that you just likened him to a phallus is…well…insufferable. I do not approve for one second of that. You need to readjust your priorities and put my son and me at the top of the list of Amends that you need to make. And if I were you; I would make that happen sooner rather than later." Tony growled angrily and with purpose as he got face to face with Flash.

Peter just sat there with half his burrito hanging from his mouth, eyes wide open unblinking as he watched in horror as his father outed him to his worst enemy.

MJ looked on in amusement as she watched her boyfriend's face drain of all color with each syllable that came out of his father's mouth. MJ's favorite thing in all of this was the look on Flash's stupid, constantly smug face as Tony ripped him a new one in front of everyone at their table, their school, and the lunchroom even. The whole of the Tower she was sure was tuning in on the security cameras on their Stark pads—she knew she would've been had she been placed in their positions.

Ned, much like Peter was in shock. He however, was able to continue shoving cheese fry after cheese fry into his mouth all the while never stopping watching the scene before him—not even to blink. This was all so amazing, he was finally watching someone put Flash Thompson in his place, he felt like this day was the first day of many great ones to come if he was able to see this happen again. Silently he prayed to any and all deities that someone was recording this on their Stark Pads from the security footage. (Later he would find out that FRIDAY was kind enough to do it for them and for that he was incredibly thankful as they as a group would watch it for days to come and laugh at every little bit of it).

"Do you have anything to say for yourself or are you going to continue to stare at me like a monkey?" Tony asked as he took a swig from his water bottle, raising his eyebrows questioningly.

"S—ssorr—sorry, sir." Flash said and then stumbled away.

"Well…that was anti-climactic." Tony mumbled as he turned back to Spider Gang, "What exactly was that?"

MJ and Ned turned to Peter—leaving it up to him to answer his father. Peter looked down at his burrito and took another bite to fill his mouth so as he explained to his father nothing was clear and he could just gesture and thus make it seems clear that he was able to tell his father his entire past with Flash but not actually have to rip that bandage off.

"Sorry, come again?" Tony said, tapping his foot and gesturing with his hands.

Peter gulped but then said, "He's been my tormentor for the entirety of school."

"Oh? Really?" Tony said as he raised an eyebrow, turning around and strutting away.

Peter dropped his burrito and attempted to chase after his father however he instead ended up falling to the ground and stumbling after him.

"Pete, he's gonna do it anyways, you knew it was coming." MJ said, rolling her eyes.

Peter slumped, closing his eyes, and praying once again to any deities that would listen that his father wouldn't embarrass him too badly.
