Queen's vigilantes Spiderman and Aura are neighbourhood superheroes stopping thieves, robberies, and assaults. The two heroes are known to everyone, protecting the city of danger. But inside of the masks of the two unknown heroes, are two teenagers:...
Jocelyn frowned and remained quiet not making promises she can't keep.
Iron Man sighed and his helmet opened to reveal the famous Tony Stark, with a worried look on his face. "Kid, look, this superhero world is a dangerous life. And I may have failed to prevent you being brought into it, but I won't fail keeping you out of it." Tony sighed.
And that was the truth. Ever since the explosion that occurred in Tony Stark's lab that took the life of thousands of lives and granted little Jocelyn Evan superpowers, Tony was determined to protect the little girl at all costs. He had already taken the girls mom away from her and she didn't deserve being put through something so traumatic. When Tony realized she was the only survivor and was the closest to the deadly weapon, he was intrigued with her. He had hired a few undercover S.H.I.E.L.D. agents to watch Jocelyn and when Tony Stark discovered she had powers, he fell concerned.
A girl that young should not have to have that burden on her shoulders. And truthfully, he saw a bit of himself in Jocelyn Evans like he did in Peter Parker. But Jocelyn Evans reminded him more of his mother, hence why he is more worried around Jocelyn compared to the other Queen's hero.
Tony Stark had done everything in his power to make sure no one found out about Jocelyn. Hence why no one recruited her for the fight at Saxony airport against Captain America. He wanted the girl to stay out of the dangerous life because he was the one who brought her into it.
Tony smiled faintly and nodded. "You're a stubborn kid. Just try not to make my life too difficult, hm? I don't need any grey hair any time soon."
Jocelyn hummed softly trying to laugh but failed, slipping unconscious from exhaustion. Tony smiled at the kid and looked up at the nursed, implying they can come to take the girl now. The nurses rushed over and Tony stopped them once again.
"Take her to the hospital in the North end of New York. Give her specifically to Dr. Cho, no one else. And I swear if I find out that anyone took off her mask or see's her without it, other than Dr. Cho, you all will be living on the streets." Tony warned them, shooting them all a glare.
The nurses mumbled agreements and Tony finally let go of the gurney to watch them wheel off the teenage hero. He sighed tiredly but knew she was going to be okay. She was in the hands of the best doctor he knew.
But he couldn't worry about her now. He had to go lecture another teenager about being stupid.

(Peter's Pov:)
Peter sighed worriedly staring down at the mask in his hands sitting on the ledge of a building near the shoreline. He watched coast guard boats empty out the ferry, policemen asking bystanders for statements, and ambulances taking away injured victims.
This was all his fault.
How could he have been so stupid to not realize Aura was there? How could he not notice the FBI on board? How could he miss that last support beam that caused the entire boat to sink? How could he have let this happen?
Peter had a lot of regrets that day but his biggest one was putting Aura at risk. Sure he might have destroyed her heart but he still cared deeply for her. When he saw her using her powers to bring the boat back together, her body shake and her magic flicker from white to purple. But the magic seemed to be absorbing her into the light. And it terrified Peter to watch it happen and not being able to do anything about it, regardless of him screaming at her to stop.
"Previously on Peter Screws the Pooch." Tony Stark announces from behind him.
Peter glanced over his shoulder seeing Iron Man hovering on the rooftop behind him. He frowned to himself and looked back down at the mess below him.
"I tell you to stay away from this and instead you hacked a multimillion dollar suit so you can mess around behind my back doing the one thing I told you not to do." Tony Stark retorted.
Peter frowned staring down at his gloved hands. "I-is everyone okay?" He asked his voice cracking in fear. Peter glanced over at Iron Man tears in the corner of his eye, threatening to spill. "Is she okay?" He feared for the answer.
Iron Man gave a subtle nod. "No thanks to you." Iron Man replied.
Peter felt all the emotions of guilt, sadness, hatred build up inside of him . "No thanks to me!?" Peter swung around the ledge and stood up on the building. "Those weapons were out there and I tried to tell you about it, but you didn't listen." Peter snapped annoyed walking towards Iron Man. "None of this would have happened if you had just listened to me! If you even cared, you'd actually be here."
Iron Man's suit suddenly dropped on the rooftop and opened up revealing Tony Stark inside. Tony stepped out of the suit and towards Peter, whose eyes widened in shock taking a few steps back feeling intimidated and worried.
"I did listen, kid." Tony sighed. "Who do you think called the FBI, huh? Do you know that I was the only one who believed in you? Everyone else said I was crazy to recruit a 15 year old kid."
"I'm 16." Peter corrected.
"No, this is where you zip it! All right? The adult is talking." Tony snapped annoyed. "What if somebody had died tonight? Different story, right? Because that is on you. And if you died," Tony sighed. "Then I feel like that is on me. And if the girl died-" Tony's voice trailed off and Peter dropped his head in guilt. "I don't need any of that on my conscious."
"Yes, sir." Peter mumbled guilty. "I'm sorry. I understand-"
"Sorry doesn't cut it." Tony interrupted with a disappointed look.
"I-I just wanted to be like you. Fight criminals, woo the girl." Peter exclaimed sadly.
"And I wanted you to be better." Tony frowned seeing himself more in Peter than he would like to admit. "Okay, it's not working out. I'm gonna need the suit back." Tony announced.
Peter's eyes widened. "What!? For how long?" Peter asked worriedly.
"Forever."
"No, no, please, please, please. Mr. Stark, please this is all I have. I am nothing without this suit." Peter begged desperately knowing his entire plan of wooing Aura would vanish without the suit. Without the suit, he had nothing. He can't lose it!
Tony took a few steps towards Peter. "If you're nothing without this suit then you shouldn't have it. Okay?" Tony snapped. "Gosh, I sound like my dad." He muttered.
"I, uh, I don't have any other clothes." Peter embarrassedly admitted trying to find a way to convince Tony Stark to let him keep the suit. But his attempt failed.
Tony shrugged crossing his arms. "We can take care of that."
And just like that, Peter Parker lost the only thing that connected him to Aura. Now he was back to the sweatpants outfit he made when he was first becoming Spiderman. But he didn't have enough confidence to put that on and confront her, wanting to know if she was okay.
