Wrong number :/~~Spider-Man

Have You Ever Eaten A Bumper Sticker?

"What did he do to you?! he was just making me lunch!" Peter struggled against Tony's arm, hoping to slide out.

"I'll tell you what he did, Peter. That man down there killed a lot of innocent people, you hear? You hear me? Per your last phone call, I think it's warranted that I'm here! I think I'm justified for turning that man into a deep fried donut if I feel like it, okay?? I though you were..." his grip loosened a bit. Peter wasn't fighting as hard, a wave of guilt sliding over him. "shit- I though you were in serious trouble Peter. I thought that if I had been too late-"

"I-I'm really sorry mr Stark.." Peter looked down at the butler on the floor, the one who he'd just spent over an hour finally bonding with, sharing secrets he'd never shared, recalling the time frame the last phone call occurred in with Tony. His breath elevated a bit, forcing his head to drop onto Tony's suit in defeat., "but I don't think you have the right guy".

Tony looked at the kid for real this time, not just a blur as said pipsqueak slid by across the floor, a blob for Tony to protect, but he looked at Peter.

And holy shit Tony cannot leave this thing unsupervised. Like- ever. Peter isn't allowed out of his sight anymore. It just ain't happening. What the hell.

Peter, to put it lightly, looked like he'd just been hit by a bus going into hyper speed.

Yeah Tony's half-second thought of letting Peter go had just died. This was serious now. No more lenience on this, May could get her kid back when Tony had given him a stern talking to. Enough is enough.

Tony had decided that this was going to be dealt with by him specifically as soon as they got this place all cleaned up, that psycho into custody, and Peter back home. He was done relying on others, it clearly wasn't helping in the slightest. Tony wasn't sure he could do better, but if he was at least able figure out what was wrong, he might be able to find someone who could.

While Reginald laid on the floor 20 feet below, Tony waited for his second suit to arrive to pick him up so that they could all get to the tower while entirely supervised. Once back there, Tony was gonna put Reginald in a holding cell and have a long-ass talk with Peter.

So that's what he did.

Now, for Peter.

This was a mess. This whole thing? It never should have happened! At this point, Peter was heaving in pain. He didn't want to show it, but Tony's grip was jabbing at all of the worse points of impact he'd received. Nothing was going good right now it seemed.

But, somehow, to the dumbass of the century, it meant something worse.

It mean that even though May was gone..

Even though he'd spoke to someone about it..

It was still Peter's fault?

Sometimes the internal surround-slowing thing really sucked. Because that meant you had longer to think.

Peter thought that once he saw the wrongdoings in his life, that meant he could get better. He was told things would get better!

Peter couldn't tell if he should feel guilty or angry. Or both. He wanted it to stop, he wanted to just, ignore everything. Pretend it didn't happen. Pretend that he just showed up one day, no trauma, no life-changing perspective shifts about how horrible his whole life was.
