Summary
"That night, at the expo, when we were in the car, you were crying, like, you were crying pretty hard…”Tony is silent for a moment."So you're asking me why I was crying on the night of a massive terrorist attack on my event, that I personally organized it advertised, while hanging out in a cop car with a little kid I just found unconscious in the bushes whose family may or may not have died, as well as hundreds of people?"…Okay, that was obviously a stupid question. Good job, brain, big kudos on that one.Or, 10-year-old Peter is adopted by Tony after May and Ben both die during a terrorist attack at Stark Expo. Almost a decade later, there are still some unanswered questions about that night. Peter tries to find the answers, but his feelings only lead him to more questions.Or, after a mission gone wrong, Tony is stranded in a parallel universe, separated from 21-year-old Peter, his lover and partner of the last couple years. In this world, superheroes don't exist and Peter Parker is a kid who just lost his family. Tony stays and dedicates himself to giving Peter a home and a happy life, mourning his past and the love he had to let go.
