Summary
Tony doesn’t waste another minute as he grabs a can of Coke, a bag of Funyuns, and heads up to the counter with disgust evident in his features. Little words are said until he lays down a few dollar bills and starts toward the door.
The bearded-man catches him with a cold smile. “Have a good night, you sick son of a bitch,” he says, and Tony leaves without sparing a glance.
He doesn’t bother dwelling on what the man said as he fumbles for his car keys. With the bag of Funyuns between his teeth and the can of Coke stuffed beneath his arm, he digs around each pocket—from his pants to his jacket—to find the key fob. An odd sound meets his ear before he can hit the unlock button.
Is something... crying?
or
Tony stumbles upon a four-year-old kid named Peter Parker on a late-night drive upstate.

Summary
With powdered donut dust on his fingers, Tony set off down another aisle of tables with poster boards towering high. He ignored the occasional snap of a sneaky camera, smiled at anyone who was too shy to say hello, and channeled fake excitement whenever another potato clock went well. Tony couldn’t believe that he had ended up here.
He passed three aquaponics presentations, two Venus flytrap experiments, and a miniature Mars Rover that had fallen clean off of the table. And then something new caught his eye. His feet came to a sudden halt.
The curly-haired kid standing in front of the table was much smaller than the rest. He stared up at Tony with large eyes as he adjusted his glasses.
“Hey, kid,” Tony greeted. “Wanna show me what you’ve got?”

Tony, regrettably, is forced to be a guest judge at a science fair in Queens. There, he meets ten-year-old Peter Parker.

Summary
If there was one good thing to come out of Tony's ultimate death at the end of the week, it was the ability to forget for a short period of time. He spent his time surrounded by strangers who idolized him and friends who sometimes gave less of a damn. But it was a kid who grounded him—who made him wish he had more time because he reminded him that there were good things to live for. One kid did all that.
Truly, Tony didn’t know how to make sense of it. A part of him told him to be unabashedly humble. Another part said to leave the kid and drive to Miami with the top down until his eyes fell out of their sockets.
It was just a kid. A kid.
A kid who had a shopping bag tied around his wrist with the Stark Expo logo on the side. A kid who was silent for a while until he finally said, “I have to use the bathroom.”
or
Peter is eight-years-old and loves everything about Iron Man. Tony is dying and helps a lost kid find his aunt and uncle.
