Face Time With Iron Man

Peter sighed as he finally closed his books and leaned back against the chair. He had finally finished his homework for the night. It took him no more than two hours, but it was always a relief to get it out of the way. He looked at the clock on the wall of the kitchen and saw that it was 6:00. He didn't have to go out patrolling just yet, and May was working late, which meant that he had a few hours to himself…something that had been a rarity to the teenaged superhero. So, he grabbed some leftovers May put in the fridge for him and placed it on a plate before putting it in the microwave to warm up. As he was watching the food spin in the microwave, his phone vibrated, so he took it out and smiled when he saw a text message from…Tony!

"Hey kid, how was school today?"

Peter quickly typed a response in return.

"It was good, Mr. Stark! Thanks! I'm just excited for Thanksgiving break. Won't have to worry about homework for a few days."

"That's good! You finished your homework? I know you said May was working late tonight, so I figured I'd check in."

Peter couldn't help but raise his eyebrows at Tony's response. It always amazed him when he remembered something the teenager had mentioned in passing. Tony was always good at that, and Peter was learning that more and more. During that time when Peter would call Happy and leave reports over voicemail, he mentioned once that a lady bought him a churro after he helped her as Spider-Man, and even though he didn't see the point in even mentioning it, Tony brought it up when the Vulture incident was going on over the phone. He had clearly heard the voicemails and remembered that very detail, and it became even more apparent when Tony finally gave him his email and phone number allowing them to keep in touch more often. Peter would mention a test or something, and Tony would always ask about it. A smile made its way onto Peter's face as he responded.

"Yeah, she is, and yeah, I just finished, just warming up some leftovers now for dinner, and then I might go patrolling later."

"Tell you what? How about we Face Time tonight?"

"Sure! That would be great, Mr. Stark."

It had been a week since the last time Peter and Tony talked over Face Time when the latter invited him over to Stark Industries to take the picture. He and Tony continued their typical text exchanges for the time being.

"Okay, call me once you've got your food ready."

"Will do!"

The teen then sent a smiley face emoji for emphasis, and then as if on cue, the microwave beeped alerting Peter that his food was finished reheating. The rookie superhero immediately opened the door and used the long sleeves of his shirt as over mitts to avoid touching the hot dish. He quickly placed it on the table and grabbed utensils, a napkin, and a bottle of red Gatorade before finally sitting down at his usual spot. He whipped out his phone again and immediately searched for Tony's contact on his phone. He pressed the button to Face Time and waited for Tony to pick up.

Finally, his mentor appeared on the screen of his phone. "Hey, kid," he said.

"Hey, Mr. Stark," Peter replied as he took a bite of his food. "What's up?" From what he could see, Tony was hunched over something at a table in his lab. The man was dressed in his AC/DC shirt and jeans…his usual lab work outfit.

"Putting some upgrades…on my suit," Tony replied as he turned a bolt on the Iron Man armor. "How were those tests today?"

Peter took a sip of his Gatorade before replying. "Not too bad," he finally said. "They were in Geometry and Chemistry, and I think I did okay on them."

"Good for you, kid," Tony replied smiling at the teen. "So…uh…any chance you're going to rejoin some of those clubs you quit over the summer?"

Peter couldn't help but smile once again. Tony showed just how he always listened and paid attention to every little detail in Peter's life, and it caused a small pang of guilt in his chest for thinking that the veteran superhero didn't listen to him throughout the whole Vulture fiasco. However, that was all in the past now. It was time to focus on the present and learning from mistakes.

"Uhh…I've thought about it," Peter said, "and I think I'm going to just stick with Decathlon for now. It opens up some time for Spider-Man, you know?"

"I can understand that," Tony replied as he continued to tinker. "Besides, from what your aunt and Happy have told me, Decathlon seems to be one of your biggest passions."

"Yeah, I guess you can say that," Peter replied. He always did have more fun in Decathlon practices, especially after M.J. took over for Liz after she moved. He did have fun in band practice and Robotics club, but Decathlon always seemed to challenge him a little more. Even when he pretended to join the team again during the Vulture situation, he had fun being on the team again.

"Plus, it could give you some time to come here every once and a while for suit upgrades," Tony added after a moment of silence.

"Wait, seriously?!" Peter asked excitedly. "You would really upgrade my suit?!"

"Of course," Tony said before taking a sip of his green smoothie. "It's all part of the mentoring. Suits need repairs."

"Well, I know," Peter said, "but you've already given me a huge upgrade from the old suit. I guess…I-I don't know…you're very generous, Mr. Stark. Thank you!"

Tony turned to the screen and gave Peter a genuine smile. "You're welcome, Peter," he said. "I'm happy to do it. Besides, you got to learn from somebody, and for a kid looking out for the little guy you need all the help you can get from behind the scenes."

Peter's smile widened. The idea of Tony Stark…the Tony Stark helping him with his suit…mentoring him…helping him to become a better superhero…was enough to make him feel elated. Ever since that one night when he was a kid…when Tony saved him from the Hammer Drone, he had always dreamed of working with Iron Man himself, and so far, this was better than he had ever imagined. Yes, Tony had a rough past…full of mistakes and regrets, but he managed to overcome it and refused to let that past define him allowing him to become the man he was today.

"Thanks, Mr. Stark," Peter finally said. "I really appreciate it." He finally had an idea come to him. "Mr. Stark, I have an idea."

"Is this an idea I'm going to like?"

"Ha-ha…I was thinking…maybe…since I'm going on patrol later tonight," Peter began, "maybe you can come with me…patrolling I mean. Mentoring out in the field, you know?"

"Really, kid?" Tony asked incredulously. "You really want ol' Iron Man following you around for a few hours?"

"We could work together," Peter replied. "Iron Man and Spider-Man teaming up every once and a while patrolling the streets of Queens? Or to stop evil-doers in the streets of Manhattan?"

"Evil doers, huh?" Tony said looking up at Peter with a raised eyebrow. "I think you've watched too many cartoons and movies in your lifetime."

"Hey, they're good cartoons and movies!" Peter said.

Tony chuckled before pausing for a moment clearly thinking about the kid's offer. "You know what?" he finally said. "Sure, why not, kid?"

"Really? You mean it, Mr. Stark?"

"Of course, I wouldn't have agreed to it, right? So, why don't you finish your dinner and we'll figure out where to meet up? Plus, I'll get to test out my suit upgrades."

Peter's smile widened as he nodded. In a little while, Spider-Man would get to patrol Queens with Iron Man for a few hours. He had a great feeling that this was going to be one of the greatest nights of his life.
