"Are you guys getting back together?" Peter blurted out about halfway through the movie.
"Not right now, baby." Bruce replied looking down at where his son was snuggled into his side.
"But, why not?" Peter whined, tears welling up in his eyes.
"Because, Petey. Your dad and I have a lot we would have to talk about and fix before we can even consider getting back together." Tony said from his seat across from them.
"Can't you just tell each other you're sorry, and that you love each other?"
"It's not that simple, Peter." Bruce sighed, leaning over to hit the pause button on the remote.
"Yes it is!" The little voice shrilled, tears now streaming freely down his cheeks. "If you just kiss then you'll remember how much you love each other and… and… and then daddy, you can come home."
"Peter, I am home. Right now, the Tower isn't my home anymore."
"Yes it is!" Peter screamed. "It is your home! You're my daddy and the Tower is my home so it's yours too!"
"Peter, calm down." Tony said, coming over and kneeling in front of his son. "Daddy left and is living here now, you have to understand that. He had a reason."
"I don't have to understand! He left me and you and he doesn't even care!" Peter hopped off the couch and ran into his new room.
Tony sighed and hung his head. "This is all my fault."
"No, part of the blame lies on my shoulders too."
"What do you want to do?"
"I think you should go. I'll call you tomorrow before I bring him back, but right now I think I need to talk to my son." Bruce said as he stood from the couch, Tony following from his crouched position on the floor.
"Right, yeah of course."
"Dad!" Peter yelled as he came back down the hall, this time with his shoes and backpack on.
"Peter, what are you doing?"
"I want to go home. This isn't my home and I'm mad at daddy."
"Peter, if there's anyone you should be mad at it should be me."
"No I shouldn't. You didn't leave me, daddy did."
Bruce's heart broke into a million pieces. He was already feeling like a real piece of work for up and leaving without talking to Peter that night, and now seeing the tears in his sons eyes and the pain, and anger in his voice was just too much.
"Just take him home, Tony" Bruce choked out.
