"He won't be upset about that...He'd be proud." I said and Peter sniffled. I heard the door open and looked at Anthony to see that mask on...What happened?
"Pete, how long have you been here?" Anthony asked.
"I had just got off patrol," Peter said.
"Let's get you something to eat and then some sleep," Anthony said.
"What about Aunt May?" Peter asked and I saw the mask falter and a twitch of sadness.
"She's well enough to complain about you being here...Come on," Anthony said and looked at me.
"Are we eating at the tower?" I asked.
"Might as well...Peter, you want to crash at the tower?" Anthony asked and Peter's eyes lite up.
"Can I?" Peter asked.
"Yeah," Anthony said as I made the portal. I watched Peter walkthrough and saw Anthony glance at the door to May...I frowned when I suddenly saw him without the mask. His jaw clenched and eyes watering...He walked through putting it back into place quickly...
Sam's Pov:
"I hope he's ok," I said and T'Challa smiled.
"I'm sure he's fine...He's Tony." T'Challa said.
"Still he looked pretty freaked out," I said.
"He'll be alright, love. You worry about him a lot lately." T'Challa said.
"Because Steve's been treating him like shit and...I don't know." I sighed.
"Do...you like Stark?" T'Challa asked.
"No, babe...I have you." I said and T'Challa smiled.
"That doesn't mean you can't like someone." He said.
"Are you...mad?" I asked.
"No...Honestly, I worry for him to...Even though he's an annoying spider monkey." T'Challa said and I laughed.
"Why do you call him that?" Sam asked.
"He's always climbing up on to stuff trying to reach cause he's adorably short," T'Challa said and I grinned smugly. "What?" He asked.
"You called him adorable," I said and T'Challa looked annoyed before pulling me into a kiss.
"You're cuter," T'Challa said and I laughed.
"Nyah." I said and T'Challa frowned.
"I said stop that." He said and I laughed.

Tony's Pov:
"May?" I asked sitting next to her...She looked pale.
"Hello, Tony." She smiled and frowned.
"What do you need?" I asked.
"Well...I hate to ask for a favor but Peter's still only 16." May said.
"Yeah," I said.
"I need you to fill out some paperwork for me." She said sitting up and coughing a bit as she reached for a file. She opened it with shaky hands and my heart sunk...
"May...What's going on?" I asked feeling a tightness in my throat.
"I've been sick a while...I've known for a while..." May said as I stared at the papers.
"Let me pay...We'll get you up and moving again with the best doctors and med-" I stopped when her hand touched mine.
"There's no cure dear." I swallowed the tightness as my eyes began to fill with tears.
"I want you to take care of Peter for me...He loves you to pieces and always talks about you." May said.
"No...no...You're all he's got," I said fighting the tears.
"No...He has you." May said and I looked at the legal guardian papers.
"Shouldn't I ask him...I don't want to just...force him." I said.
"If you ask he'll know something is up and not want you to sign them...He'll hold on to the hope that I'll be ok till it's too late and child services get involved." May said.
"I don't want him to hate me," I said.
"He could never hate you...He loves you to pieces...please at least think about it." May said.
"I will," I said...I'll also make sure you're as comfortable as possible...
"Thank you...Peter was out late last night...Make sure he rests." May said and I nodded. I got up and started shooting Pepper messages...I put my mask on as best I could and walked out the door.
Stephen's Pov:
"I showed Peter to a room he can use...What's going on?" I asked looking at Anthony.
"...She's sick Steph...really sick..." Anthony said staring at the wall.
"I'm sure she'll pull through," I said and I saw tears well up in his eyes...Oh...
"She wants me to be Peter's legal guardian..." Anthony said.
"What did you say?" I asked sitting next to him on the bed.
"I said...I'd think about it...I wanted Peter's opinion but she says if he knows he'll never make a decision cause he'll cling to her till it's too late...I don't want him to hate me Steph. I have enough family members that hate me...I don't want to add on to that." Anthony said...
"He won't hate you," I said.
"You don't know that."
"Would you sign the papers if he said he was ok with it?" I asked.
"Of course Steph...I love the kid, you know that." Anthony said and I nodded. I glanced at the door wondering if I should say anything or just leave it..."I don't want to be my father though...what if I'm shit at being a parent?" Anthony asked.
"Well, you can either be shit at being a parent or be a shitty parent," I said.
"There is a difference?"
"Yes, being shit at being a parent means you've never really done it and you forget shit sometimes. Being a shitty parent is having a kid and treating them like shit...You will not be a shitty parent...Just ask yourself in a situation what Jarvis would have done for you." I said and Anthony nodded.
