Tony's pov
i soar through the sky, dodging attacks from the suits, Rhodey warning me of anything major. i see what looks like a young 8 or 9 year old boy in a toy ironman mask and fake gloves. he stands in front of a young, incredibly hot woman, shielding her from the rogue suits. the suit lifts up its arm and even from here i can hear the repulsors fire up. however, unlike mine, these are made to kill.
the repulsors charge and fire, colliding with the woman who leaped in front of the child. i speed up towards the people, shooting the suit, rendering it useless. i land down beside the lady as the boy hugs her side whimpering.
"m-may. aunt may!" he cries, clinging onto her arm.
"ma'am! stay with me! we can get help" i got to turn to get help but she grabs my arm and shakes her head.
"look after him. hes has nothing. no one" i nod quickly, looking at the small child for the first time. he's adorable. she turns to him "and remember pete. with great power, there must also come great responsibility."
she coughs and lays her head onto the floor, eyes glazing over.
"what are you doing. may? talk to me?" he grabs her hand tightly "m-may?"
he looks up at me with tears in his eyes. i bring my hand down to her face and close her eyes, then scoop the boy up in my arms, flying him to safety.

i sit down on the sofa with a bowl popcorn, grabbing the remote and putting on a star wars film as peter launches himself onto the sofa next to me. he buried himself under the duvet, snuggling into my side and grabbing a handful of popcorn. pepper takes a seat the other side of me pulling the blanket on top of her too. she lays her head on my shoulder, smiling as we listen to our son quoting along with the film.
half way through the film i look down to see peter asleep, head resting against my arm. my smile grows and i lean down, kissing him on the top of the head, remembering how lucky i am for my little family.
suddenly, peter starts groaning and whimpering in his sleep, tossing and turning from side to side. i carefully run my hand through his hair, whispering comforting words to my son.
"peter, its okay kid. youre okay" his eyes flutter open as he looks up at me, a few small tears can he seen. i pull him close to my chest and kiss him on the top of his head, fiddling with his hair. he cuddles into me and i wrap my arms around him.
"i love you Dad" he smiles up at me, resting his head on my shoulder.
"love you too kiddo" i pull pepper into my side and snuggle down under the blanket, smiling at my life.

Peter's pov
i sit on the plane next to mum, fiddling with my hands as we fly away from new york, away from the battle. mum looks worried and has tears in her eyes. i grab her hand and smile comfortingly, although im sure the worry is evident in my eyes.
as we fly further and further away we cant take our eyes off the tv. i gasp as i see a nuke headed towards the city, but the more worrying sight is Dad flying straight towards it.
as dad collides with the bomb, i hear mums phone begin to vibrate on the side, but mum is in too much of a trance to notice. i grab her phone, and seeing that its dad i shake mums shoulder. she just looks up at me, giving me a weak smile with panic in her eyes before turning back to the tv.
i answer the phone, only hear dads laboured breathing on the other end.
"dad?" i whisper as tears brim in my eyes.
"pete" he whispers back, "i love you kid."
"i love you dad" a tear streams down my face as i continue to shake mums shoulder, she just nods her head, not taking her eye off the tv.
"tell pep, tell your mum that i love her" i nod as if he can see me as more tears run down my cheeks. the line disconnects and i hesitantly lower the phone, slumping back into the seat next to mum just in time to see the final glimps of dad as he flies into the worm hole.

2016
i stumble up to my room, slamming the door behind me. i feel ill, very very ill. i flop down onto my bed, missing completely and landing heavily on the floor.
"Pete? You okay?" i hear dad shout and wince at the loud noise.
all i can do is groan as i pull my blanket from my bed and pass out on the floor.
———————
i wake up with my head throbbing, it feels like someone is repeatedly hitting me over the head with mjolnir. i squint at the bright lights and squirm at the itchiness of my once comfortable clothes.
i drag myself up off the floor, turning to look in the mirror. i almost faint seeing the abs and my newly toned body. i stumble backwards and grab onto my drawers to steady myself. as i go to stand up straight i realise i cant pull my hand off of the top. i pull and pull until finally i stumble backwards, landing on my bed.
i stand up, ignoring the fact that my blankets are sticking to me and make my way to the bathroom. i open the door and as i go to step into my ensuite, i easily pull the door off its hinges.
"Dad? DAD!" i shout, shaking my hand around, attempting to remove the door and blankets which are still stuck to my hand and arms.
"Pete! are you okay?" he comes rushing in, a worried look plastered across his face.
i slowly turn around, tears beginning to form in my eyes and lift up my sticky hands in frustration. "what's happening" i whisper.
"kid come here" he rushes towards me, going to hug me but i flinch away.
"i dont want to hurt you" i whisper ashamed.
he looks at me sadly "lets go down to our lab kid. we can figure this out"
i nod and follow him down to our lab, managing to leave the door in my room and the blankets dropping off in the hallway somewhere.
when we reach the lab dad sits down and i take the seat opposite him. "so do you know how this happened kid?" he asks kindly.
i explain everything about the school trip, the spider bite and feeling ill last night as he just nods comfortingly.
"i read about that specific spider. it bonds with human dna. they havent got to human testing yet and theyve decided to scrap the project because all of the tests came back with no answer. clearly kid, your dna was the answer. my guess is that you've inherited some of the spiders survival traits. like a sort of super power. if you want we can learn about them together and how to control them?"
i nod and smile at my dad. im so lucky.

2017
im so mad steve and the rest if the rogues are coming back to live in the tower today. i swear if they try anything, especially steve, ill punch them in their annoyingly perfect faces. they hurt my dad, and if you hurt my dad, you hurt me.
however, theyre not coming until 1pm, so i have some time to kill beforehand. i get out of bed and look at the time, 11:47. i sigh and jump out of bed, hopping in the shower.
its been a year since i got my powers and im pretty good at controlling them now.
once im done in the shower, i dry off my hair with my towel and throw on a science pun t-shirt, a grey zip up hoodie, and some jeans, then just some converse on my feet. i run a hand through my hair, attempting to tame it but quickly give up. it'll get messed up fast anyway since i spend most of my time upside down.
by the time im done getting ready its now 12:35 and im getting hungry. i havent eaten breakfast and i have a super metabolism so i decide to grab a snack before hiding out in my room until tea because im sure if i see one of them im going to commit murder.
i angrily walk out of my room, still thinking about the rogues. i slam my door a bit too hard but dad reinforced them after i got bitten so i ignore it. i swing up onto the ceiling since its more comfortable for me and i can annoy dad this way, which is always a bonus.
i walk casually into the kitchen, struggling to decide what snack im going to get. i stop when i step in and see more people in there than just dad, uncle rhodey and mum.
i clear my throat and dad looks over, rolling his eyes when he sees that im on the ceiling again "yeah they came early kid." he looks uncomfortable.
"on time is late" steve laughs slightly trying to lighten the mood. it doesnt work. i glare at him and see his smile fade slightly. "so tony, who is this and why is he on the ceiling? actually how is he on the ceiling?!"
dad just chuckles slightly before gesturing for me to get down "this is peter, also known as spiderman"
i see steve's eyes go wide as he realises what happened during the airport fight. "oh my god i hit you with a jet bridge! what are you 15?!"
"im 16 actually" i grumble quietly, crossing my arms.
"YOU HIT MY KID WITH A JET BRIDGE?! WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOU?!" Dad shouts as i stand still, looking slightly sorry for myself. Everyone begins whispering about how 'tony has a kid' or 'spiderman is 16'.
"Dad its fine ive had worse. like this one time an entire warehouse fell on me!" i explain trying to comfort him slightly, but then realise what i just said.
"YOU HAD AN ENTIRE WAREHOUSE FALL ON YOU?!" he shouts getting out of his seat. i jump back onto the ceiling. "you know what, ill deal with you later" he sits back down in his seat.
"hang on can we go back to the fact that Tony Stark has a son," steve laughs slightly, still in shock.
"no i want to focus on the fact that steve almost got beaten by a 16 year old kid." Natasha freakin Romanoff laughs, crossing her arms.
