In which it is a flash back to homecoming
"Hey Tony look, Pete's on the news," Pepper called him from the other room.
Tony snorted and coffee flew out of his nose.
"What did he do?" Tony rose from the couch and walked into the next room.
Crash!
Tony dropped his mug.
The kid was scarling the side of the Washington monument.
"Shit!" Tony turned to go get a suit. He needed to help!
Pepper grabbed his arm.
"I think the kids got this one," Pepper gave Tony a look.
Tony turned his wide eyed gaze back to the TV screen. He needed to be there to catch the kid. Had he reinstalled the parachute? No. No he hadn't. Tony needed to go.
"Tony, the kids got this," Pepper said again with a little more force this time.
Tony tossed his anxious gaze back at the TV.
"But what if-" Tony was cut off by the sight of his kid leaping from the side of the tower, and over the police helicopter that was circling the tower.
Tony screamed.
Even the Pepper gasped a little.
The kid soared miraculously over the helicopter, attached a web to it and swung under the metal contraptions belly. He launched himself, feet first, toward a window on the monument. It gave and the kid disappeared.
Tony wasn't sure whether to be relieved or more terrified.
No one knew what was happening in the tower.
Tony refused to leave the sight of the Tv until the news showed him exactly wanted to see.
The news did not show him what wanted to see. Infact Spider-Man never exited the tower. The news did however reveal that every had survived some kind of explosion on one of the elevators.
No one had seen what had become of Spider-Man.
Pepper chuckled as she walked back into the room. Tony still sat with his eyes glued to the TV like small child watching cartoons.
"The kid's fine," Pepper laughed, "You can give it a rest now."
Tony looked up at her from where he was sitting on the floor.
"What if he hadn't made that jump? What if the police had shot him? Wouldn't all this be my-"
Pepper face palmed.
"Tony. Shut up."
He looked shocked by her interruption.
"You can't blame yourself for what might have possibly happened."
Tony frowned.
"The kid is safer because you gave that suit. He was never going to stop fighting crime. You just made him safer by giving him that suit," Pepper explained. For a genius Tony wasn't the smartest.
