It didn't take long for Peter to wake up, enhanced healing and all but he had one hell of a headache when he did. He tried to open his eyes but he shut them immediately the bright white lights burning his eyes.

"Sorry kid," whispered Tony clearly after remembering the senses dialled to 11 thing, he turned off the lights before sitting back next to the bed.

"Where am I? " Peter asked sounding slightly tipsy.

"Hospital wing, concussion and some bruising." Mr Stark replied, "Wanna tell me what the hell happened?"

Peter said nothing.

"How did he even get a punch in? Don't you have that Spidey-sense thing?"

"It doesn't always work and if I fought him I could've really hurt him. I'm really sorry Mr Stark."

"What? Don't be sorry, has this happened before?"

"No, he's never gotten physical it's always just been names and insults. It was my fault anyway," Peter sighed.

"Peter, how on Earth is a guy kicking the crap out of you your fault?"

"He said some things, I said some things that weren't cool and then he punched me. I just got angry."

"Tell me exactly what happened," Tony demanded and Peter wasn't in the mood to fight so he filled in Tony on all the details of the trip from the dread on Monday morning to the fight with Flash. "So this is my fault," Tony said after a moment of silence.

"No! It's not."

"I'm so sorry kid. I was only messing with you."

"How could you have known what would happen, nothing like this probably ever happened to you."

"I wasn't always as cool as I am now, turns out being Howard Stark's son isn't much fun. I gained a lot popularity after completing a dare to hack the pentagon though.."

"You did WHAT?"

"That's a story for another day Peter, I gotta go your aunt will be here soon and she is not happy. She can be quite scary."

"Thanks Mr Stark."

"For what?"

Peter thought for a moment, "Catching me," he replied.

"Anytime." Tony smiled and pulled Peter into a hug before he left. Peter lay there shocked THE TONY STARK just hugged HIM. He reached for his phone and saw dozens of texts from Ned as well as from others in his school. He quickly replied to Ned to stop his worrying and sat waiting for May and Tony to return.

Next Saturday morning Peter and May spend the day on the couch talking. They were talking about the meeting before school on Monday with Flash and his parents to talk about the incident and discipline. Peter said that he'd admit the harsh (but true) words he had told Flash and make an apology. Peter was pretty sure he wouldn't get suspended because he didn't start it maybe some detention. Peter being Peter spent the weekend worrying about it.

That afternoon just like every Saturday he headed upstate and was greeted by a cheerful Tony in the lab.

"Hey spider-boy, how you doing today?" Peter and Tony were working on some upgrades for Peter's suit.

"Are you going to tell me about hacking the pentagon?" Peter raised an eyebrow towards Tony. Mr Stark grinned and started the story.

After the work was finished, Peter was about to leave when Tony shouted after him.

"Not so fast, change of plan. Pick a movie. I've ordered pizza hope pineapple is ok."

"Eww pineapple on pizza."

"Well you can pick it off or I'll eat it all by myself and you can starve." While Peter was browsing through movies he quickly texted Ned.

P: I'm watch a movie with Iron Man.

Needless to say Ned was excited so was Peter. Peter wasn't sure how he felt (excited, nervous, awkward and a little confused) and he wasn't not sure if he'd ever get used to it. He was terrified about making a fool of himself but was pleasantly surprised that it was one of the most enjoyable evenings that he's had that didn't involve Spider-Man.
