Disclaimer: This work is set in a very fictional AU where corporal punishment is an acceptable form of punishment of minors. Please, please do not read if this is not your cup of tea. I would like to emphasize that I do not condone this in real life and that this is purley a work of fiction.
This work is non-compliant to the MCU timeline and different events, places and characters are mish-mashed to my liking. This work is also influenced by several fanfictions written on the Peter Parker is the kidnapped son of Tony Stark trope.
This story is very plot-heavy, however, and the first full-on cp scene will be in chapter 13.
Also, if you want the fastest update, plz read this story on A03(archieve of our own). I post there first and I personally like the formatting there better.
Aidan Stark was born on October 3rd, 2001, to Tony Stark and Pepper Potts. His arrival was the result of an unexpected pregnancy from Tony's drunken one-night stand with Pepper, who at the time was his personal assistant, not yet his girlfriend. But from the moment Tony laid eyes on Aidan, his life changed. He vowed to put a stop to his playboy days and become a man his son and girlfriend would be proud of. He quit drinking and going to extravegent parties. He started taking work seriously. Over time, his love for Pepper also grew as well, and they officially tied the knot when Aidan was 2 years old.
Aidan was a cheerful, bubbly baby, always smiling and babbling, and quick to show affection to everyone around him—even strangers, which worried his parents. He was empathetic and kind, far more considerate than most children his age. He rarely cried or threw tantrums, preferring to hide in a quiet corner and wipe his tears away silently whenever he felt upset or hurt.
Then, on November 15, 2005, when Aidan was just four, he was kidnapped. While playing at a nearby park, his nanny, exhausted and distracted, failed to notice when Mary Parker scooped him up. Having tried for years unsuccessfully to conceive a baby of her own, Mary Parker was desperate to find a child of her own. One day, while dejectedly strolling through the park, her eyes met the tearful doe-eyes of one Aidan Stark squatting on the ground and silently sobbing while grabbing at his injured knee after falling from the swings. She instantly made the rash decision that the little boy was her baby. No one was watching as she walked away with the boy in her arms.
Mary didn't realize at first that Aidan was the son of billionaire Tony Stark. When she found out, she and her husband, Richard, fled to Canada, hiding in the countryside with Aidan. She renamed him Peter Parker and created a fake birth certificate, telling Aidan that Mary and Richard were his real parents, and that his memories of another family were just dreams. Over time, the boy who once sought his mommy and daddy came to believe her story. According to the forged documents, "Peter Parker" was born on August 10, 2001.
Tony and Pepper searched tirelessly for their son for three painful years. But when Tony was kidnapped by the Ten Rings at the age of 38, the family's world was shattered even further. After Tony's harrowing return, he found Pepper a shell of her former self, gaunt and broken by the loss of both her son and husband. Knowing they had to heal their marriage, Tony reluctantly stopped actively searching for Aidan.
Mary homeschooled Peter until both Mary and Richard passed away in a plane accident when Peter just turned 7. (This happened only days after Tony was kidnapped, and the press was too preoccupied with Tony's disappearance to look into the plane accident in depth.)
After Mary and Richard's tragic deaths, Peter was taken in by Richard's brother, Ben Parker, and his wife, May. They had no doubt Peter was biologically Mary and Richard's son. Peter's brown eyes and hair matched theirs, and since Ben had fallen out of contact with Richard a decade ago, they never questioned Peter's identity. Moving into their modest three-bedroom apartment in Queens, Peter found safety and love with May and Ben. Though they didn't have much money, they ensured Peter always had a warm bed, food on the table, and a solid education. Their affection was constant—Ben and May frequently hugged Peter and ruffled his curly brown hair, making him feel deeply cherished. After losing his 'parents,' Peter saw May and Ben as his true family. Though Uncle Ben was the disciplinarian, he rarely had to punish Peter, who was well-behaved. On the rare occasion Peter was disciplined, it was usually for neglecting his own well-being or failing to ask for help, never wanting to be a burden to his surrogate parents.
Peter met Ned in the second grade at Midtown Elementary, and they became fast friends, bonding over a shared love of Star Wars, robots, and superheroes—especially Iron Man. When they started middle school, the duo became a trio with the addition of MJ. Though MJ claimed she only hung out with them because she "unfortunately had no other friends," she secretly found their giddy enthusiasm endearing. MJ often acted as their protector, ensuring the boys didn't get bullied by the taller, more athletic students.
Peter's life changed dramatically at thirteen, during a field trip to Oscorp. After wandering into a restricted area, Peter was bitten by a radioactive spider. Overnight, his body transformed—his eyesight improved, his asthma vanished, and he developed a six-pack. He could climb walls and had incredible strength. Terrified by these changes, Peter kept them secret from his aunt and uncle, telling himself he needed to understand what was happening before he could share it.
In the following months, Peter struggled to adjust to his new abilities. He accidentally broke fifteen pencils, tore four shirts, and ripped the doorknob off his bedroom door. Despite these mishaps, his life remained relatively normal. He received a full scholarship to Midtown High and celebrated with his aunt and uncle over Thai food. Saturdays were spent building Legos with Ned, while Sundays were reserved for family movie nights—Empire Strikes Back being a favorite, which they watched more than 5 times.
But everything changed two weeks before Peter's middle school graduation. Uncle Ben, a police officer, was investigating a secretive drug cartel dealing a dangerous new substance called Eureka. While undercover, Ben was shot and left to bleed out. His killer was never caught, and Peter's world was shattered.
Peter and Aunt May were devastated by Uncle Ben's death. Overcome with grief, May buried herself in work, taking on double shifts at the hospital. This left Peter spending more time alone in the apartment than ever before.
With so much time to think, Peter was consumed by regret. He wished he could have been there when Uncle Ben was in danger—maybe, with his powers, he could have saved him. Though he couldn't change the past, Peter resolved to use his abilities to help others and prevent similar tragedies. He also made a vow to find Ben's killer and ensure they faced justice. That's when Peter decided to become Spiderman.
Two months after Uncle Ben's death, tragedy struck again. Exhausted from her long hours, Aunt May fell asleep at the wheel while driving home from work and crashed into a railing. She lost her life, leaving Peter utterly alone once more. Just a week before his fourteenth birthday, Peter was placed into foster care. Uncle Ben's best friend, Marcus—also a cop—ensured Peter was placed in a good home in Queens so that he wouldn't have to transfer schools.
Peter's foster mom, Dana, did her best to welcome him, but Peter was too grief-stricken to accept her kindness. Having lost both his aunt and uncle in less than three months, Peter withdrew into himself. He barely ate, hardly spoke to Dana, and spent most of August crying himself to sleep, feeling completely alone.
When September rolled around and Peter started school at Midtown High, Peter's dejection turned in anger. He spent most of his hours outside of school as Spiderman, trying to get a lead into finding Ben's murderer. He started coming home later at night with random bruises on his body. For a couple weeks, he was able to hide his brusies from Dana and lied to her that he was busy from joining several clubs as well as the marching band after class, and that he got home late because he usually went to the library after dinner to finish his homework before heading home (well, he did go to the library from time to time to research information about Ben's murderer so this part wasn't a complete lie). However, on one particular patrol chasing down a couple drug dealers on the street, Peter came home after being struck hard on the side of his jaw by one of the drug dealers and could not hide the painful-looking black bruise from Dana, even with his hoodie covering most of his face.
When Peter was unwilling to confess what happened, Dana called Peter's school to try to ask if they knew what was going on. In the process, she found out Peter had completely lied to her. He hasn't joined any clubs after school and he hasn't handed in homework for some of his classes. Worried and furious, Dana put Peter over her knee and spanked him with a hairbrush over his pajama bottoms. Peter was surprised it stungs quite a bit despite his super strength and accelerated healing. He wondered if it was due to the fact that he has been frequently skipping meals for the past month.
As Dana smacked Peter, she questioned him again about what he has been doing after school and how he got the bruise. Peter stayed silent as the heat built up in the seat of his pajama bottoms. He knew that he's a terrible liar and couldn't come up with a good excuse, especially in his compromised positon. It is not until Dana threatened to take down Peter's pants that Peter panicked, burst into tears and confessed that he had been trying to search for information about Ben's murderer. He also confesses that he got the bruise today from questioning a drug dealer on the streets.
As Peter cried while lying limp across Dana's lap, Dana sighed and drew calming circles across Peter's back. She told Peter that while she understood that Peter wants answers to what happened with Uncle Ben, what Peter has been doing was extremely dangerous and was likely to get him killed. She then told him that Ben and May would feel heartbroken if he hurt himself while trying to get revenge and that Peter should stop hunting down Ben's murderer for their sake.
Peter wanted to disagree. He wanted to scream that he's not a normal teenage boy and that he has to use his powers to get justice because with great power comes great responsibility. But Peter couldn't risk revealing his identity as Spiderman, so he stayed silent and buried his face into a pillow.
Dana then told Peter that there are plenty of people —his friends, Marcus, and herself— who worry about him and care for his well-being. She had tears in her eyes as she pleaded Peter to stop risking his life for her sake too. Peter, shocked when he looked up and saw his foster parent in tears, mumbled a soft yes. Dana pulled Peter into a big hug, then sternly announced that if she catched Peter risking his life to find Ben's murderer again, he will receive a bare-bottom spanking that time around. Peter gulped. He couldn't risk getting a bare-bottom spanking. Dana would certainly find it strange when his ass remains unblemished even after a couple dozen swats, and she might figure out he's a mutant with super-strength. She might then alert the authorities and have him sent to Xavier's school for gifted youngsters. That's where most mutant minors are sent off to when they are found out. And he wouldn't be able to keep Spiderman a secret anymore or go to school with his friends. He couldn't let that happen.
Peter was pleasantly surprised when his butt heals instantly after he gulfed down three sandwiches for dinner that night. He felt his bruises starting to heal too, so he excused himself to his room while pretending to still be upset. He was once again reminded just how crucial food is to his healing factor and started to eat regularly again.
From that day on, Peter decided to set aside his revenge scheme for the time being. He settled into a new rhythm. He joined the Academic Decatholn team alongside his friends. He only patroled three times on the weekdays after school and went to Decatholon practice the other two days. On his patrols, he was more careful to avoid being hurt. He usually webbed up his targets from afar and tried to keep a safe distance when he could. He always stopped his patrols around 6:30 pm and made his way back to Dana's place before 7 pm. Dana, Peter's foster sibling, Jake, and Peter had dinner together and afterwards, Peter worked on his school assignments in the kitchen under the watchful eyes of his foster mom while his foster brother watched cartoons in the living room. He was relieved for the company, since when he was alone in his room, all he could think about were the deaths of his aunt and uncle.
In October, after some hesitation, he confessed to Ned that he is Spiderman. Ned was blown away by the reveal and giddily exclaims that he will be Peter's Guy-in -the-Chair. He once again started going to Ned's apartment on Saturdays, but instead of building Legos, he went out as Spiderman with an earpiece and a small camera that Ned made for him. Ned hacked into local police radio stations and informed Peter of what crime was nearby. Ned also cheered him on while Peter webbed up the bad guys and high-fived Peter when he got back from the patrols. They were a great pair and Peter found himself enjoying his Saturday patrols even more than his solo outings.
For the first time in a while, Peter was feeling ok with life again. Well, until something really unexpected happened in November.
