Frustration
To say Tony Stark was worried would be an understatement. The man had just received a warning from FRIDAY that Peter had run away from the tower while he was in the middle of a meeting and he couldn't simply get out of it, forcing him to suffer through it even though concern was quickly growing as each minute passed. As soon as the dreadful meeting was over, Tony was storming towards Bruce lab which contained the computer with all the live feed from the entire city.
" Bruce, I need you to check the computer for any trace of Peter in the city and from this morning. I want to know why the kid left. It could help in the search to get him back over here since I'm not letting him roam alone in the city after what happened yesterday. "
It didn't take too long for Bruce to find the footage of the morning and he wasn't very surprised by what he saw.
For a good fifteen minute, the boy in the video eyes was fixed toward the television, pain obvious in his eyes. Curious, Bruce turned the camera angle and saw what had captured the boy attention. There had been a car accident and one of the victims was severely injured. If Bruce had to guess, he would have said that the victim was a family member. It didn't surprise him really, the kid was too young to be living all by himself. Tony had seemingly made the same connection although he had other plans in his head. He wanted to know where Peter was and his wish was granted when a shop camera captured the young boy going up the skyscraper he had been on the day before, obviously trying to keep away from the passerby's views.
This intrigued Tony greatly considering the kid had no real way of being able to do that especially not with his current injuries. Looking at the time on the video, he cursed under his breath when he noticed it was 15 minutes ago and the boy had more than enough time to go away. Tony sighed and massaged his temples in obvious annoyment. He was way too old to deal with all of these messes. Soon, however, another camera showed Peter walking toward a nearby house and entering it. As soon as he made sure that Peter was in it, Tony walked out of the room after thanking Bruce and started walking in the direction of the house he saw.
It really didn't take that long to find the house while avoiding the press for Tony surprisingly. The man knocked on the door to see after noticing there was no noise coming from the inside, to make Peter know he was there. Shuffling could be heard inside before the door opened, revealing a still sleepy Peter who stiffened and seemed to wake up completely when he saw who was at the door, quickly shutting it close. Tony, however, wouldn't accept that and so he blocked the door from closing with one of his foot blocking it and opened it back and stepped inside at the same time that Peter started to run away from him and going toward a room and locking himself in it.
Tony was quickly growing annoyed as he marched toward the room door, his hand on his hips seemingly angry.
"Kid, come on, open the door. We need to talk."
Tony tone of voice wasn't exactly... angry. It was more of a saddened worry tone and it made the man feel strange. Why was he doing all of this? He could have easily just dropped the kid off at the nearby hospital psych yard but he didn't. It felt...wrong to even think about doing it. While he was stuck in his thought, Peter slightly opened the door to let the man in.
" I'm sorry Mr. Stark... "
Peter was scared, that much was clear. His voice was shaking and his head was kept low, his eyes looking toward the floor.
" It's okay kid. Don't worry about it. I know what happened. That girl...the one who got hurt, it was someone you cared about, wasn't it? Could you maybe tell me about her? Would that help you calm down? "
Tony feel out of place. It was almost like he knew they weren't supposed to meet this way. All he received in reply to his question were a simple shake of the head from Peter and something almost inaudible which he didn't catch.
"Alright kid. But you're going to need to tell me why you ran away from the tower. I'm sorry but I can't let you get out alone before I know you're not a danger to yourself."
Tony was pretty rational, even though he left out the 'and how you got to the top of the building' part of his explanation.
"Okay, Mr. Stark..." Peter was going to say something else when his vision suddenly blacked out. Peter suddenly became dead weight on Tony who purely groaned lightly in pain. It looked like he was stuck there for the night.
