Chapter 2
To say Tony Stark was fucking confused was an understatement.
He woke up breathing heavily and found himself in his bedroom, his bedroom.
Which shouldn’t be abnormal for the normal person but considering the last moments he remembers of his life was his son and his wife looking into his eyes before he felt himself die.
He remembered it clear as day, the fight with Thanos.
He remembered the snap with his finger and knew the consequences of his actions but understanding what he had to do.
He should’ve been dead, why wasn’t he dead?
Peter, his sweet boy, staring at him with watery eyes and saying goodbye and apologizing before Pepper reassured Tony that he could finally rest now.
He remembered it all so why was he laying down breathing, living, in his bedroom?
He took a deep breath looking around, it looked pretty much the same as when he last saw it besides the newly placed photograph of him on the bedside dresser.
And the amount of tissues and trash on the floor…he knew Pepper and she was not one to be messy.
”F.R.I.D.A.Y?” He said breaking the silence with an unsure voice.
”Boss..?”
He didn’t know AIs could sound so lost.
”F.R.I.D.A.Y read my vitals.” He said before standing up shakily from his bed in the mess of his and Peppers bedroom.
”Sir your vitals say you are completely healthy, but my records say you died.”
”That’s what I thought too, huh I guess even I was too cool even for death once again F.R.I,” Tony managed still trying to think of possible situations upon his resurrection.
“Its impossible that you have returned Sir, but I am not detecting any shapeshifters taking your form..and the data of your revival was sudden only 5 minutes ago with no explanation.”
Tony let out a shaky breath, he’d figure this out later. As of now his family thinks he’s dead.
”F.R.I.D.A.Y how long ago did I- did I die?”
The AI hesitated before responding, “Almost one year ago boss.”
Tony bit his lip, he left his family for that long.
”F.R.I.D.A.Y how are they- you know who I mean, Peter and Harley, Pepper as well-“
”Pepper is on her way with Harley Stark right now sir, they’re healthy and coming over for a Christmas Eve celebration. I have no information regarding Peter boss? May you restate the name?”
It was Christmas Eve?
And what did F.R.I.D.A.Y mean about no information regarding Peter?
”You know who I mean, Peter, Peter Parker Stark? My son- Spider-Man! Don’t play dumb F.R.I-“
”Sir I went through a world wide search and no results appear of a Peter Parker Stark who is your son or even exists. The only child you have Tony is Harley Keener Stark. Information regarding Spider-Man exist but nothing to do with a Peter or you being his father.”
Tony felt his heart drop.
”What?”
“I reran the search multiple times Boss, one result appears of a Peter Parker who lives in Queens. No Peter Parker Stark, It seems to be a peculiar situation though regarding the boy I found.”
Tony felt his breath fall short, if anything happened to Peter while he was gone he wouldn’t be able to live with himself.
”Tell me any information you have on that boy Peter Parker. Come on F.R.I.D.A.Y are you broken? Peter is my son you know this!”
”Boss you have done the impossible and have seemed to be resurrected it would make sense for you thinking of such things-“
Tony felt himself grow mad, “I’m not thinking of such things, I could never forget about my son. Now run through the information regarding the boy in queens.”
”Peter Parker has only appeared as a citizen in the world approximately a week ago. He has no birth certificate or anything to do with his arrival.
And from his appearance he is not a newborn baby he is a teenager who just appeared out of the blue.
The only things the boy has done was rent a small room and gain a GED he also has applied for the Daily Bugle News center as a photographer. That is all the information about the boy across the world Boss.”
Tony grew more confused, “Show me an image of this boy.”
F.R.I.D.A.Y pulled out various pictures of Peter Parker that the street light cameras etc. were able to pick up.
“That’s him! That’s my son- why is there no other information regarding him?! F.R.I.D.A.Y where’s my computer you must be broken because this doesn’t make any sens-“
”Sir, I am sorry for interrupting but Pepper Potts and Harley Stark have arrived, would you like me to inform them of your shocking arrival?”
Tony was still furious about the Peter situation but stopped and took a breath in, he hadn’t seen Harley in a while.
And Pepper and him had still thought he was dead.
“Don’t alert them, I’ll talk to them myself.”
Tony left his bedroom and prepared himself for their reactions.
”I know Harley it’ll be hard without May or your Dad being here, but they would want us to have a good time.”
He heard his wife’s voice speak softly and his son reply with a sad hum.
Had she said May? What happened to May, why wasn’t Peter with them? Peter was 15 last he checked but him being gone for a year would mark him 16- he was still a kid why wasn’t he with them for the holidays?
These were all problems he’d deal with soon enough, time to go surprise his eldest son and wife with the biggest Christmas gift of their lives.
Tony walked over to them revealing himself with a small smile, “Happy holidays am I right?”
“WHAT THE FU-“
