Summary
Tony breathes hard, trying to think fast, trying to get his hands on a solution. “Did one of them do this to you?” he asks. “Did—did they get your mask off? Get skin to skin contact?”
Peter closes his eyes for a long second, and the gun rattles in his hands. Tony takes one tentative step closer, and he sees the rip in the suit, on the kid’s forearm. Shit. “Okay, buddy, I see it,” he says. “I see it. But these clowns should know that bullets are just gonna bounce right off me.”
Peter opens his eyes, and he looks afraid now, worse than before. He slowly, surely, raises the gun and points it at his own temple. Presses it there hard.

Summary
He hasn’t talked to Tony in a week. Not since—the incident. He’s talked to Pepper, sure, and Happy more than anybody else, but he definitely hasn’t stepped foot in the tower since it all happened. Peter doesn’t really hold grudges, especially against people he loves, but—it just happened this way. He didn’t want it to, but it did, and neither one of them have backed down. It sucks. It sucks. He doesn’t even like to think about it. He wants it to end, but he’s still just—hurt. The deep kind of hurt that makes it hard to form coherent sentences, or have coherent thoughts.
He sighs, and Pepper looks over her shoulder at him.
“You okay, honey?” she asks, slowing down a little bit. “I swear, he’s not here.”
Peter shakes his head, his brows furrowing. “No, it’s—it’s fine,” he says.

Summary
Peter strains again, putting all his strength into breaking them, getting himself free, but the handcuffs don’t budge at all, like they don’t know he’s a superhero that can totally get out of this stuff with no problems on the regular. Or they know, and they don’t care.
Peter sighs, his heart beating a little faster. It isn’t as if he’s languishing in some villain’s rotting basement. He’s in the new compound, in one of the weapon armories. And he...did this to himself.
He’s supposed to be able to get out. That was the whole point of this, the whole test, and now he’s...now he’s trapped.

Summary
Peter was worried the ground would be wet because of all the rain earlier, and he spreads out the orange blanket, directly in front of the tombstone. The blanket is big, the one he and May usually use for picnics, and he folds it over a couple times until it almost feels like the comforter on his bed in the compound. Plushy. None of the wetness clinging to the grass seeps through.
He sits down, and Tony sits beside him.
This is only the second time they’ve visited Ben together. The first time was before the snap, before the dusting, before the subsequent insanity that put everything back together again. This visit seems like it holds more weight, since they’ve gone through all that. Because there was a time when Peter was gone too, when May and Tony were thinking about putting a tombstone with his name on it right next to Ben’s, and beside his parents’. Because there was a time when Tony came here alone, something he only admitted recently, months after everything ended and began again. He came here begging, pleading for answers from one of the people that knew Peter best.

Summary
Tony hears white noise over the next few words out of Rhodey’s mouth, a high pitched tone going off in his ears. He steps closer to them, trying to listen, but he only hears thrashing, sees the flashes of white again. He thinks he hears voices coming from the walls. His own body trembling, even though he’s not, even though he’s—standing here. Still.
He tastes the metal. He wants to watch them go, wants to make sure they’re safe, but his head throbs like something hard hit him, and he squeezes his eyes shut tight. The world is all darkness, the kind of darkness that ate at him before he woke up and found a hole in his chest, the kind that shakes like electrocution, and he needs a suit, he needs a suit, this asshole, whoever he is, he did something to this place, did something to Tony—
He opens his eyes when he hears Peter’s voice.

Summary
“Peter,” Tony says, watching as Friday tracks the kid’s trajectory, following his arc as he flips through the air. “Peter Parker.”
“Uh oh, full name time, what’d I do?”
Tony watches him do another outrageous flip, spinning at least three times in the air. The web he lets go of soars like a party streamer. He shoots another one, swings from it, and quickly shoots one more, launching himself high.
“What the hell is with all the acrobatics?” Tony asks, flying up higher. Peter shoots more webs, completely unnecessarily, and they firework all around them. “I know you’re a part of the circus, but you’re at your day job right now, bud—”

Summary
Peter hugs his knees to his chest. He doesn’t wanna die, he doesn’t wanna die, he doesn’t wanna leave them. But he closes his eyes anyway.
Next thing he knows, the door is slamming open.
“Jesus Christ. Jesus.”
Peter can barely think. Can’t move. His eyes are closed and he can’t open them, and everything is churning in slow motion, like he’s floating underwater.
“I’ve got you. I’ve got you, kid. I’m here, I’m here.”

Summary
It’s Tony’s birthday, and just about every superhero known to man is here, all of them mingling with each other in the kind of scene any reporter would shit themselves over. Peter had been worried about the possibility of someone attacking them while they’re all gathered in one place, but Tony assured him that he had contingencies, and left it at that.
But Peter isn’t worrying about that anymore. He’s staring over at Tony, who seems to be getting a gentle verbal-lashing from Pepper before she presses a hard kiss to his forehead, leaving him behind and on his own again. Tony’s been acting strange as hell for the past half hour or so—he was completely normal, talking to everyone, having fun, and then he—wasn’t. Then he got weird, started sitting alone, swaying and laughing at people who passed him by, no matter who they were.
Peter doesn’t like it.

Summary
“Hey,” Peter’s voice says, as he comes around the corner. “What are you oh my God.”
It’s like Tony’s heart is sucked directly into his throat and he whips his hand out from under the water, flinging droplets and blood fucking everywhere. And yet, he still hides his hand behind his back.
Peter stares at him. Looks down at the ball, cut in half, the drops of blood surrounding it like some half-assed modern art, and then back at Tony, the guiltiest man in the world. Peter narrows his eyes. “What did you do?”
Tony scoffs, shaking his head. “What did I—nothing. I didn’t do anything. That’s always been there.”

Summary
Tony is clearly really upset, the kind of upset that Peter’s only seen the likes of a couple of times, and it’s too close after everything happening to really talk about it. He can definitely see that now. “I’m sorry,” Peter says. “I’m sorry, I should have answered—”
“Yeah, you should have answered!” Tony yells. His bottom lip is trembling and he shakes his head, his eyes wild. He runs his hand over his forehead.
“Okay, okay, I’ll know for next time,” Peter says. He doesn’t know what’s gonna make this better. Probably nothing.
“There better not be a next time,” Tony says, dropping his hand from his face. “God, like this? Pete, no one knew where he was but you, and you—you kept it that way so nobody knew what the hell was happening, and you—you weren’t answering, kid, and that asshole sent me all that shit plucked directly from my nightmares, and I was trying to be strong for May because she was worried, too, and you—and you, I—I thought I wasn’t gonna ever—I thought—Jesus, Peter, you don’t think, you don’t—”
Tony bends over, clutching at his arm and breathing hard through his mouth.
