    Summary

    “If you did play chess," Ross said, "you’d remember that a pawn can become a queen. The most powerful piece on the board, Parker, remember that? But—” Ross smiled— “only if it obeys.”

    He adjusted his tie, stood, and looked down at Peter. “I’ll ask you again,” he said. “Eventually. You may feel differently after you’ve been living in a six-by-six cube without sunlight or fresh air for a few years.”

    “What pawns do,” Peter said, voice shaking slightly, “is sacrifice themselves for the greater good. I have no regrets.”

    He had a lot of regrets.

    Like, a lot. A crapton. A shitload. An overloaded dumpsterful.

    “When I visit you on the Raft,” Ross said, “you’ll be old enough to grow a beard.” The cell door clicked shut behind him.

    Summary

    “Okay,” Peter says, and he grabs Tony’s wrist. “Okay but I’m actively escaping. At the moment. That’s what I’m doing, at the moment, and that’s what I’m doing. Right now.” He lets out a little huff. “So that’s what I’m doing.”

    “Yup,” Tony says. “A bang-up job.”

    “Thank you.”

    “You’re really killing it.”

    “I know.”

    Tony is nervous, because the kid is slurring and he’s severely loopy and that can only mean drugs. Were they to keep him docile? Were they to fucking experiment on him? Tony’s not in the suit anymore so he can’t see his heart rate but he knows it’s probably skyrocketing.

    Summary

    After the events of Civil War, Tony avoided Peter for the kid's own safety. At least until Homecoming and the Vulture happened and Tony realized Spider-Man was never going to just be content with stopping petty theft and rescuing cats. For the past several months, Tony has allowed Peter to spend much of his time at the Avenger's compound, but most of the team (with the exception of Bruce Banner) knows Peter only as Spider-Man. Tony had hoped that keeping the kid close and deciding which missions he attended would protect him from trouble, but he never expected Peter to be kidnapped while the rest of the team was out fighting crime. With Peter taken, and demands for high-powered weapons coming from his captors, the clock is ticking for Tony. As he and the Avengers search for the missing hero, Tony is sent video after video of Peter's extreme torture. Peter is breaking before his eyes, and Tony becomes increasingly frantic to save the kid before it's too late. Will Peter and Tony come back from this, or has the scarring gone too deep?
