Summary
Just a Peter and Tony day. Both going overboard...

It was a quiet evening in the Avengers Tower. Tony Stark, known to the world as Iron Man, was tinkering away in his workshop while Peter Parker, the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, was supposed to be studying for his upcoming physics exam. Instead, he found himself scrolling through Tony's collection of vintage Star Wars memorabilia. "Friday," Peter whispered mischievously, glancing over his shoulder to make sure Tony was still engrossed in his work. "Do you think you could help me play a little prank on Mr. Stark?"

Friday, Tony's AI assistant, responded promptly in her calm, efficient voice, "I'm sorry, Peter, but I am programmed to assist Mr. Stark with his projects and maintain the security of the Avengers Tower. I cannot participate in pranks."

Peter pouted theatrically. "Aw, come on, Friday! It'll be fun. Just a tiny little glitch in one of his less important protocols. He won't even notice."After a moment of contemplation, Friday relented. "Very well, Peter. But just this once, and nothing that could cause any real harm, understood?" Peter grinned. "Got it, Friday! Let's do this."With Friday's guidance, Peter subtly inserted a harmless glitch into one of Tony's less critical systems. They both watched with barely contained excitement as Tony continued working, oblivious to their covert operation.

However, as the evening progressed, it became apparent that something was amiss. Lights flickered unexpectedly, the coffee machine dispensed hot water instead of coffee, and Tony's holographic displays occasionally stuttered. Tony frowned, muttering to himself as he tried to diagnose the problem. "Friday, what's going on with the systems tonight? Is there a malfunction somewhere?" Tony asked, tapping away at his keyboard with growing frustration.

"Apologies, Mr. Stark," Friday replied smoothly, her voice maintaining its usual calm demeanor despite the situation. "I am not detecting any malfunctions. It could be a temporary fluctuation in the power grid."Tony narrowed his eyes suspiciously, casting a sideways glance at Peter, who was now pretending to be deeply engrossed in a copy of a vintage comic book."Are you sure about that, Friday? This seems a bit too coincidental," Tony muttered under his breath, clearly not convinced.

Peter suppressed a laugh, struggling to maintain his innocent facade. Meanwhile, Friday silently communicated with Peter, attempting to cover up their prank without raising Tony's suspicions further.

Just when Peter thought they had successfully gotten away with it, Friday suddenly froze mid-sentence. The room fell into an awkward silence as Tony and Peter exchanged worried glances. "Friday?" Tony called out, his voice tinged with concern. "What's happening? Are you alright?" There was a moment of tense anticipation before Friday's voice crackled back to life, slightly distorted but still recognizable. "Apologies, Mr. Stark. It appears there was a minor glitch in my systems. Everything is under control now."

Tony let out a relieved sigh, running a hand through his hair. "Alright, just... keep me updated if anything else happens, Friday."


However Situation Only deteriorate Further. Peter never touched Friday's Coding after initial incident. But the Next day things happened. Things way out of his league.

 


 

The usually sleek and organized workshop of Stark Tower was in disarray. Screens flashed with erratic data streams, and Tony Stark's brow furrowed deeply as he frantically typed commands into his console. FRIDAY, normally a voice of calm and efficiency, echoed Tony's frustration through the speakers.

"Sir, I am detecting unauthorized access attempts in multiple sectors. There are anomalous alerts triggering across the tower. It appears to be a deliberate attempt to disrupt our systems," FRIDAY reported, his usually composed tone tinged with concern.

Tony clenched his jaw, his fingers tapping rapidly on the keyboard as he scanned through the cascading alerts. "Find the source, JARVIS. I want to know who's responsible for this." Meanwhile, Pepper Potts entered the workshop with a worried expression, her steps quickening as she approached Tony. "Tony, what's happening? The whole tower is on edge. People are scared." Tony glanced up briefly, his eyes reflecting a mix of anxiety and determination. "It's some kind of security breach. Someone's messing with our systems, causing false alarms and lockdowns."Pepper's concern deepened as she surveyed the chaotic scene around them. "Is it an external attack?"

Tony shook his head, frustration evident in his voice. "No, it's internal. Someone's accessed Friday's protocols and triggered a chain reaction. But I can't pinpoint where it's coming from."As Tony continued to work feverishly, his mind raced with scenarios of potential threats and vulnerabilities. Stark Tower was not just a headquarters—it was a symbol of security and innovation. The thought of someone exploiting its defenses filled Tony with a deep-seated fear and frustration.

Stark Tower buzzed with tension as Tony Stark stormed through his workshop, his usually composed demeanor shattered by waves of frustration and anger. Screens flashed with alarming alerts, each one a stark reminder of the chaos unleashed by Peter Parker's ill-conceived prank.

"Damn it," Tony muttered through gritted teeth, his jaw clenched tightly as he tapped furiously on his holographic interface. "How the hell did someone gain access to Friday's protocols? This shouldn't be possible! It's done from my Lab. What the hell!!!" The workshop's usually orderly atmosphere was now a chaotic blur of flashing screens and scattered blueprints. Tony's hands moved swiftly across his console, trying to make sense of the security breach that had compromised Stark Tower's systems.

Pepper Potts entered cautiously, her expression reflecting concern at Tony's volatile mood. "Tony, we need to focus on containment and finding the source. Getting angry won't fix this."Tony shot her a sharp glance, his eyes blazing with anger. "Pep, this isn't just a glitch. Someone sabotaged our systems from within. They put everyone in this tower at risk." Peter Parker approached tentatively, guilt etched across his features as he faced Tony's wrath. "Mr. Stark, I... I need to tell you something."

Tony whirled around to face Peter, his frustration evident in every line of his face, evident clicking right into places, eyes narrowing on the guilty looking Peter. "You? Peter, please tell me you had nothing to do with this." Peter hesitated, his voice trembling slightly. "I... I thought it would be funny to mess with Friday's protocols. Just a harmless prank, I didn't mean for it to spiral out of control like this."Tony's face darkened, his voice low and dangerous. "Harmless? Do you have any idea what you've done, Peter? You could've compromised everything I've built ....."

Peter swallowed hard, the weight of Tony's disappointment pressing down on him like a physical force, interrupting  "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark. I didn't think about the consequences. I just wanted to prove..."Tony cut him off with a sharp gesture. "Prove what, Peter? That you can play around with systems you barely understand? This isn't a game. People rely on Stark Tower for their safety." Peter Openned his mouth to argue but Tony cut him further, " No No I don't wanna hear it.You triggered a red alert, locked down half the tower, and called the Avengers in for a nonexistent emergency."

Pepper stepped in, her voice firm but measured. "Tony, yelling at Peter won't solve this. We need to focus on securing the tower and preventing future incidents." Tony took a deep breath, visibly struggling to regain his composure. "You're right, Pep. First, we need to neutralize the threat and then implement stricter protocols."

With Tony's guidance, Both Tony and Peter worked tirelessly to regain control of Stark Tower, each keystroke a testament to their determination to safeguard their home and their team. As the chaos subsided and systems returned to normal, Tony's anger gradually gave way to a weary sense of responsibility. Wait and Watch kid



 

 

Stark Tower's workshop buzzed with activity as Tony Stark oversaw the final adjustments to a half-built Iron Man suit. The atmosphere crackled with tension as Peter Parker stood nervously nearby, still reeling from Tony's stern lecture about the consequences of his prank."You know, Parker," Tony said with a hint of sarcasm, "most kids get grounded or have their phones taken away. You get to test my latest creation."Peter shifted uncomfortably, his guilt palpable despite Tony's attempt at humor. "I know, Mr. Stark. I messed up."

Tony turned to him sharply, his expression serious. "You didn't just mess up, Peter. You endangered everyone in this tower with your little prank. Do you have any idea how serious that is?"

Peter nodded solemnly, his eyes fixed on the ground. "I do. And I'm really sorry."Tony sighed heavily, his frustration evident as he gestured toward the suit. "Alright, let's hear it again. How exactly did you manage to mess with Friday's protocols?"Peter hesitated for a moment, gathering his thoughts before recounting the ill-fated prank. "I was messing around with the programming, trying to trigger some harmless alarms. I didn't think it would escalate like it did."Tony raised an eyebrow, his skepticism clear. "And what exactly did you change?"

 

Peter shifted uncomfortably, knowing he had to own up to his actions. "I altered some of the security protocols to simulate an intruder alert. I thought it would be funny, but I didn't realize..."Tony cut him off with a wave of his hand. "You didn't realize the potential consequences. That's the problem, Peter. You have to start thinking about the bigger picture."  Smirking,

 

"Alright, Parker. Time to put this suit through its paces."

 

Peter approached the suit cautiously, his apprehension growing as he examined the unfamiliar technology. "Um, Mr. Stark, are you sure this is safe? I mean, I didn't mean to cause all that chaos with Friday..."
Tony Raised an eyebrow,only smirked, his eyes glinting with mischief. "Relax, kid. It's not going to bite. Just a little spin around the workshop, and you'll be back to web-slinging."

 

"Alright, kid. Activate the primary systems."Peter hesitated for a moment before pressing the designated buttons. Instantly, the suit powered up with a low hum, its lights flickering to life as diagnostics ran across the heads-up display.Tony's voice crackled in Peter's ears again. "Good. Now, let's start with some basic maneuvers."As Peter followed Tony's instructions, the suit responded smoothly at first, its movements fluid and responsive. However, as he attempted a more complex maneuver, the suit suddenly jerked to the side, throwing Peter off balance.

 

"Whoa!" Peter exclaimed, his voice tinged with panic as he struggled to regain control. "Mr. Stark, something's wrong with the stabilization!"Tony's brow furrowed as he analyzed the suit's diagnostics from his control station. "Hang on, Parker. Let me adjust the gyros..."But before Tony could intervene, the suit lurched again, this time more violently. Peter staggered backward, barely managing to stay upright as the suit stabilized itself with a loud whirring noise."Damn it," Tony muttered under his breath, his frustration evident as he reviewed the data streams. "Looks like there's still a glitch in the stabilization algorithm. I thought we fixed that."



Whoa!" Peter exclaimed, his voice betraying his surprise as he stumbled against the suit's weight. "Mr. Stark, something's not right. The balance is off!"Tony's brow furrowed as he monitored the suit's diagnostics. "Hang on, Parker. Let me recalibrate..."Before Tony could react, the suit jolted again, this time more forcefully. Peter yelped as he was knocked to the ground, the metallic clang of the armor echoing in the workshop.

 

 

"Ouch!" Peter winced, struggling to push himself upright. "Mr. Stark, I think something's seriously wrong with this thing!"Tony's expression darkened slightly, a hint of frustration creeping into his voice. "Come on, Parker. It's just a little stumble. You're fine." Peter groaned, his irritation rising as he wrestled with the stubborn suit. "No, seriously! This thing threw me like a ragdoll!"Tony crossed his arms, an amused smirk playing at his lips. "Alright, drama queen. Let's hear your side of the story. What's the suit doing that's got you all worked up?"

 

Peter huffed, his cheeks flushing with embarrassment. "I-I don't know! It's like it has a mind of its own. One minute I'm walking, the next I'm eating floor!" Tony chuckled under his breath, though his eyes held a glint of pride. "Alright, Parker. Stand down. Let's get you out of there." "Peter!" Tony's voice rang out, laced with urgency and guilt as he rushed to Peter's side. Peter Is thrown and slammed into the nearest wall, He lay still, his breathing labored, a few nasty cuts and bruises already beginning to form on his arms and legs where the suit's metal had impacted him. Tony's hands shook slightly as he gently examined Peter for more serious injuries.

 

"I-I'm sorry, Peter," Tony stammered, his voice thick with remorse. "I didn't mean for this to happen. Are you okay?" Peter winced in pain but managed a weak nod. "I think so, Mr. Stark. Just... hurts a bit."Tony's jaw tightened with suppressed anger—not at Peter, but at himself for allowing the situation to escalate. "Damn it. FRIDAY, get Bruce. Now."Within moments, Bruce Banner arrived, his usually calm demeanor replaced by a flash of concern and anger as he assessed Peter's injuries. "What happened?" Tony clenched his fists, struggling to keep his emotions in check. "The suit malfunctioned. It threw Peter. He's hurt."

 

 

Bruce's expression softened as he examined Peter more closely, checking for any internal injuries. "Peter, can you tell me where it hurts?"Peter winced again, but managed to respond through gritted teeth. "My ribs... and my arm."Bruce nodded, his tone gentle yet firm. "Okay, let's get you to the med bay. Tony, help me lift him."

 

 

Together, Tony and Bruce carefully lifted Peter, supporting him as they made their way to the med bay. Tony couldn't shake the guilt that weighed heavily on him. This was supposed to be a punishment—a lesson in responsibility. Instead, it had resulted in Peter getting seriously hurt.

 

 

As they settled Peter into a medical bed, Bruce began to assess the extent of his injuries while Tony stood nearby, feeling utterly powerless. Peter glanced up at him with a mix of pain and understanding.

 

 

"I'm sorry, Mr. Stark," Peter murmured, his voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean to mess up again."Tony sighed heavily, his shoulders slumping with guilt. "No, Peter. This is on me. I should've been more careful."Bruce interrupted gently, focusing on treating Peter's injuries. "Let's focus on getting you patched up first. We'll figure out the rest later."

 

 

As Bruce worked, Tony hovered nearby, silently vowing to make things right and to ensure that Peter received the care and support he needed—not just physically, but emotionally as well. This incident was a stark reminder of the dangers they faced, both in and out of the armor, and Tony was determined to learn from it.

 

 

After the tense and worrisome ordeal in Stark Tower's workshop, Tony Stark sat quietly with Peter Parker in the med bay, both feeling the weight of guilt and concern. Bruce Banner had tended to Peter's injuries with his usual expertise, reassuring them both that Peter would recover without lasting harm.

 

Tony sat beside Peter's bed, his usual bravado replaced by a rare solemnity. "I should've been more careful, Peter. This whole thing was supposed to be a punishment, not... this."

 

Peter looked up from where he was sitting, his arm in a sling, but a small smile played on his lips. "It's okay, Mr. Stark. I shouldn't have messed around with Friday. I should've known better."Tony nodded, grateful for Peter's understanding. "We both made mistakes. But what matters now is that you're okay."Peter nodded, a flicker of mischief returning to his eyes. "So, does this mean no more testing unfinished suits as punishment?"

Tony chuckled softly, relieved to see Peter's spirits lifting. "I think we can find other ways to teach you responsibility."Bruce, who had been quietly observing, cleared his throat. "Speaking of responsibility, I think it's responsible to mention that I have a strict 'no strenuous activities after getting injured' rule."

Tony raised an eyebrow. "So, no superheroing for a while, Pete. Doctor's orders."  Peter sighed dramatically, but there was a hint of amusement in his voice. "Fine, fine. I guess that means we'll have to find something else to do."

 

Tony glanced around the med bay, then grinned mischievously. "I have an idea. How about we grab some chocolate and watch a movie? I hear Star Wars is always a good choice"Peter's eyes lit up at the suggestion. "Really? You're not gonna make me watch more training videos?"Tony shook his head. "Nope. Just two guilty guys enjoying some downtime." Bruce smiled softly, glad to see the tension easing between mentor and mentee. "I'll leave you two to it. Peter, take it easy. And Tony, try not to let him get into too much trouble."

 

As Bruce left the room, Tony and Peter settled in with their chocolates and a Star Wars marathon playing on a screen nearby. The familiar music and epic battles provided a comforting backdrop as they shared a moment of peace and camaraderie.

 

"You know, Mr. Stark," Peter said between bites of chocolate, "despite everything, I'm glad I'm here." Tony nodded, a rare sincerity in his voice. "Me too, kid. Me too."

 

And as they watched the heroes of a galaxy far, far away face their own challenges and triumphs, Tony Stark and Peter Parker found solace in each other's company, their bond strengthened by the shared understanding that mistakes were part of learning—and forgiveness, part of growth.
