In which the day ends better than well
Peter finally pulled himself away from the man who was so close to his mentor, his father. His father that he had lost so long ago.
"Are you alright?" He eyed Peter up and down, "Also I better get answers for what just happened."
Peter just nodded.
"You will. Let's walk, shall we?" Peter said grabbing his umbrella. Tony Stark squinted at him for a minute, and then shrugged.
"Sure, why not."
They walked out of the cafe and found that the rain had stopped. They walked in silence. Peter kept sneaking glancing at the droopy man.
"Alright you keep doing that!" Stark stopped, "Why do you keep giving me those looks?"
Peter sighed.
"Alright, you're probably going to think I'm crazy, but um, I am Peter Parker... from another dimension..."
Stark raised and eye brow, and looked him up and down. He just shrugged.
"Cool. Honestly not the craziest thing that has happened around here," The man smiled, "I take it from your reaction in the cafe that alternate universe me is your mentor to?"
"Was yeah... He was like my dad."
Was... Was?
That ment he wasn't anymore.
"Did I die or turn evil?" Tony had to ask.
"Dead..." The much older, much less fit Peter mumbled.
"Oh..." That was a little weird, in another universe he was dead. He shrugged it off. He was alive in this one.
"You raised me well though. I got myself a dumbass spider kid," The older Peter said with a smile. Dead alternate universe him must have done a good job parenting.
"Is he also a Parker... WAIT!!! IS HE YOUR PARKER?" Was he a alternate dimension adoptive dad???
Peter laughed.
"No, his name is Miles Morales. He is actually from a different universe. He is running around here somewhere," Peter chuckled with a fond smile.
"Hey maybe he'll run into my Peter," Tony smiled. His kid would probably burst a vein when he found out that there were other spider people.
They made it back to the compound late. Tony and Peter had barely made it inside before the heavy patter of feet thundered down the hallway toward them.
"MR.STARK!!!"
"MR. PARKER!!!"
Peter and some other kid came barreling down the hallway toward them.
"THERE ARE OTHER SPIDER PEOPLE!!!" Peter slid to stop on his sock feet, and then whirled around and faced the other kid, "WAIT!!! DID YOU JUST SAY MR. PARKER???"
"YEAH! He's right there!" The other kid seemed just as excited as Peter
"OH!!! MY!!! GOSH!!! THERE IS AN ALTERNATE UNIVERSE ME!!!!" Peter howled on the top of his lungs, "THIS IS AMAZING!!!!"
The two kids hopped excitedly for a few seconds and then bolted back down the hallway. Peter stopped, and ran back.
"Love you dad!" Peter gave Tony a quick hug, and then took off back down the hallway, "HEY MILES WAIT UP!!!"
Tony looked at Peter.
Peter looked at Tony.
They both stared back down the hallway where their kids had disappeared.
They would never get another moment of peace.
They both smiled.
It didn't matter.
It was so worth it.
