Weekend With Iron Man, Part 2 (Saturday)

Tony woke up that Saturday morning feeling good…really good. The first night with Peter was…pretty successful. He and the kid got along as usual, but this was the first time he and Peter stayed in the same vicinity overnight. It got a little heavy when they talked about deceased loved ones, and as much as Tony hated how he changed the subject, he didn't want to see the kid get melancholy. Not because he didn't care, but he was starting to realize that he…hated seeing his mentee sad or angry or any negative emotion. It stung when he saw how upset Peter was after the ferry incident…when he took his suit away, and when he and May talked, she mentioned that Peter was so upset after that…that he seemed to think that when Tony took the suit, Tony was kicking him out of his life as well. That made it even worse, but it also dawned on him how much they missed each other when it seemed like they were parting ways…after knowing each other for six months. He hated not hearing from Peter, and Peter hated the idea of not being involved in Tony's life.

The billionaire took a deep breath as he looked at the clock on his nightstand, and it read 8:00 in the morning. That was when an idea came to him. Maybe he could make some breakfast for his intern. He was considering that they could go out, but maybe it wouldn't hurt to take it easy. So with that thought, he got out of bed and went to get ready for the day. He showered and got dressed in his typical lab clothing—T-shirt and jeans before leaving his bedroom and making his way to the kitchen. He walked by Peter's room and noted that he didn't hear movement, so the kid must not have been up yet. This could be a perfect opportunity to surprise the kid. Sure, his first attempt at making breakfast for Pepper didn't turn out well, but that was years ago. Maybe he would've gotten better with time.

Peter jolted awake when a loud, shrill beeping sound reached his enhanced hearing. He shot up in bed and looked around the guestroom trying to figure out where that alarm was coming from.

"Mr. Stark?!" Peter said when he realized that the alarm was coming from outside his room.

"He's in the kitchen, Peter," FRIDAY said over the alarm.

Peter furrowed his eyebrows together as he got out of bed and made his way out of the room and into the kitchen. As soon as he got there, he saw Tony waving a towel at a puff of smoke near the stove. "Mr. Stark?"

"Hey, kid, morning," Tony replied as he continued to wave the towel in the air to clear the smoke. "FRIDAY, be a dear and open the windows."

"Yes, boss," FRIDAY replied. Peter could've sworn that he heard a smile in the AI's voice. With that, several windows opened allowing the air to clear.

"What the heck happened?" the teen asked with a chuckle.

"Well, let's just say that I hadn't learned from the last time I tried to make breakfast," Tony replied. He looked at his work on the stove only to see that the eggs he was using to make omelets were completely blackened. "You…uhh…you like eggs that are well-done?"

Peter grimaced as he came up next to Tony to inspect his mentor's work. "You know…maybe we can go out for breakfast?" he suggested. "I know this one place May and I usually go to whenever she burns something."

Tony couldn't help but laugh at the thought of Peter's aunt burning something as well. "Sure, kid," he said. "It's too bad. I wanted to surprise you."

"Don't worry about it, Mr. Stark," Peter replied shaking his head. "It's not like I expect you to be perfect."

The billionaire smiled at the kid's statement. This kid standing in front of him only continued to prove just how mature he really was. "Well, alright, then, why don't you go get dressed and I can clean this up and we can head out?"

"You sure you don't want any help?" Peter asked furrowing his eyebrows together in concern.

"Nah, don't worry about it," Tony replied nonchalantly. "Go on, go get dressed. The sooner we go the sooner we can get back and work on some upgrades. A-Actually…maybe…we can even go patrolling tonight and test them out. What do you think?"

A smile splashed on Peter's face as soon as his mentor mentioned the idea of patrolling together again. Tony mentioned it last night, but hearing him mention it again caused a warm feeling in his chest knowing that his mentor wanted to patrol with him. "You got it, Mr. Stark," he said before running back to the guestroom to get dressed.

As he ran off to get ready, Tony couldn't help the warm feeling in his chest seeing how happy Peter was when he mentioned patrolling together. There had been several moments over the course of the past few months…when he and Peter made that video alibi for May…when he showed the kid the Iron Spider suit…when he gave Peter the courage to call MJ and when they went patrolling together for the first time not too long ago. It made him feel good knowing that he could bring a smile to Peter's face, and it was…somewhat different from the happiness he felt whenever he made Pepper or even Rhodey and Happy…well happy. A part of him wanted to ask May about it, but he wasn't completely sure why.

Almost as if it was divine interpretation…his phone began buzzing in his pocket, and…in the midst of cleaning up, he took it out he took it out only to see May's name on the screen. As soon as May accidentally found out Peter was Spider-Man and once Peter convinced her that he was safe as Spider-Man and that Tony was a good mentor, May insisted that she and Tony needed to exchange numbers just in case there was an emergency.

"Well, good morning, Mrs. Parker," Tony said answering the phone.

"Good morning, Mr. Stark," May answered chuckling. "How's the vigilante this morning?"

"He's good," Tony replied as he washed the frying pan at the sink. "We're just about to go out to get some breakfast."

"Oh, really? I thought Peter said you were going to make some breakfast this morning."

"Well…I was going to, but…there was a small mishap…" he grimaced, "sort of…kind of…"

"You burned it, didn't you?"

"Maybe…"

May chuckled again. "Don't worry about it. Peter's used to me burning food…96-97% of the time."

Tony couldn't help but chuckle. "Yeah, he took it like a champ. He was the one who suggested that we could go out."

May chuckled yet again and shook her head. "That's my nephew," she said. "If he suggested our regular breakfast place, you'll really like it."

"Well, in that case, I'm really looking forward to it," Tony said with a smile on his face.

There was a short pause between the two adults before May finally spoke up again. "Umm…so, listen, Tony," she began, "there was another reason I wanted to talk to you this morning. I—uh—I wanted to thank you for doing this…letting Peter stay over for the weekend."

"It's my pleasure, May," Tony replied. "Peter is a great kid, and…I've really come to like having him around."

"I know I was worried at first about you taking Peter on as an intern and him being Spider-Man, but…I really do appreciate it. The last time I went to this convention was before my husband died. So, I'm glad Peter has…someone else in his corner, you know?"

Tony could only stare at the pan in the sink as he listened to May talk about Ben, her husband…Peter's uncle. It only further proved what he learned from Peter the night before. His mentee had lost three important people in his life…just as he lost his parents and Jarvis. He knew that May and Peter were obviously inseparable…for lots of reasons, but Peter needed another…adult in his corner…someone who could be there for him just as his aunt was. "Well, of course, someone has to help him with the superhero life," he finally said with a smile. "I mean, I was happy to give him upgrades and such, but…I mean…the whole 'saving-lives' gig isn't easy, especially for a kid."

"And you know that better than anyone," May said with a smile on her face even though Tony couldn't see it.

"Oh yeah," Tony replied. Even as an adult, the superhero life was not easy. Between Ultron and the Accords situation with Steve Rogers and his team, it took its toll, but with Peter…like he noticed before, things felt easier. It didn't feel like a chore. "But that's why I'm doing what I'm doing, May. Peter shouldn't have to go through anything alone, you know?"

"I do, I do," May replied. "Thank you, Tony."

"You're welcome," Tony replied. "So, how's your convention going?"

"Oh, it's fantastic!" May replied excitedly. "I have a course in 10 minutes actually, so I should start going in soon. But thank you again, Tony."

"You're welcome, May," Tony replied. "Hey, I was actually thinking that since you'll be back late tomorrow night, maybe you, Peter, Pepper, and I can go out for a bite on Monday after Peter's done with school."

"I think that's a great idea," May said with another smile. "We can talk more about it when I call Peter tonight."

"Sounds like a plan."

The call lasted for another minute or so before May and Tony finally said their goodbyes promising to talk more with Peter later. As soon as the teen was ready, he and Tony hopped in his Audi and drove over to Queens to grab some breakfast. Peter was able to direct Tony to his and May's favorite place, the Good Eats Diner. The two superheroes managed to grab a table in the back to avoid too much attention from other patrons, who might be a little confused as to why Tony Stark was seen with a random teenager, but it was also to make sure Peter kept his privacy.

"So, your aunt called me before we left," Tony said as they dug into their breakfast.

"Oh, really? She texted me too," Peter replied. "I think she had a class or something. Was everything okay?"

"Oh yeah, everything was fine," Tony replied. "She was about to go into a course and wanted to see how you were this morning. She said that she'll talk to us tonight."

Peter rolled his eyes. "She can be a worrywart sometimes," he said picking up another piece of his waffle. "I'm fine, I'm with Tony Stark."

Tony chuckled as he leaned forward on the table thinking back on when he brought Peter back home from Germany. No matter how mature the kid, he was still a kid. He then remembered how Peter explained that his best friend hacked into the suit to turn off the Training Wheels protocol and the Baby Monitor protocol because he thought Tony was babying him during the Vulture incident. The conversation was a long one, but Tony explained to the kid that day that because he was still a little new and had a lot more to learn and that he wanted to be able to help Peter in any way possible, which Peter understood after what he experienced. Sometimes, he just needed a little reminder here and there.

"Well, I think it's more along the lines of she wants to make sure that you're doing okay and to let you know that she misses you," Tony said. "She told me that it's the first time she's been away since…"

"Ben…" Peter said quietly nodding. "Yeah…I know, and I'm not trying to be insensitive, Mr. Stark. It's just…" he sighed, "she went through a lot when my uncle died, so I hate seeing her get worked up and worried, you know? I don't want to be a burden or the source of her stress. I mean…that's partly why I didn't tell her in the beginning, you know?"

"Pete, you're not a burden to her," Tony said as he furrowed his eyebrows together in concern.

Peter couldn't help but smile that Tony used a nickname "Pete" for him. He had come to love "kid" as his pet name, but "Pete" was also great too.

"I'm serious, you're not," Tony quickly said. "She's your aunt, it's her job, kid, and it's not every day your nephew becomes a superhero."

Peter smiled. "I guess you're right," he finally said. Hearing Tony speak of his aunt this way made him smile. It was nice to have someone looking out for him…worrying about him, and if he had become Spider-Man while his uncle was still around, Ben would definitely feel the same.

"Of course, I am," Tony said with a smile. "Don't you forget it."

The teen's smile widened at his mentor's comment. "Understood, Mr. Stark," he said.

After finishing a hearty breakfast at the diner…and a brief disagreement as to who was going to pay, Peter finally…relented and allowed Tony to pay for breakfast. Once that was taken care of, the mentor and the mentee made their way out of the diner to Tony's Audi. However, it didn't go unnoticed that there were a few people who gave them questioning looks…obviously confused as to why Tony Stark was seen in Queens with some random kid. Nevertheless, Tony quickly brushed it off telling Peter not to worry about it and that it was best to not do anything to give people more to talk about. Peter reluctantly nodded and got in the car with his mentor, so that they could head back to the tower to work in the lab.

Testing the webshooters the night before opened up brand new ideas for both the Spider-Man suit and the Iron Man suit, and it was also a great chance for Peter to get some homework done, which was May's biggest condition when Tony suggested that Peter stay over. As much as she appreciated Tony offering to take her nephew for the weekend, she and Tony both agreed that Peter shouldn't be distracted from schoolwork.

"Okay, put the final touches on those new storage compartments," Tony said as he worked his holographic screens containing the plans for Spider-Man's webshooters, "and FRIDAY can work on this while we eat dinner. If she works fast enough, we can have it done before patrolling tonight."

"Awesome," Peter said as he inserted the final touches into the webshooter plans. "You know what to do, FRIDAY."

"Of course, Peter," FRIDAY replied.

"That's still so cool, Mr. Stark," Peter said to his mentor.

Tony couldn't help but smile at Peter. He always got a warm feeling in his chest seeing Peter smile the way he did, and it always felt good knowing that he played a part in putting that smile on his face. "Well, you get used to it after a while," he said after a moment.

"I bet," Peter said. "It took me a while to get used to the new suit, and I eventually did. I'm honestly still getting used to Karen."

"So am I," Tony retorted. "I'm still trying to get used to that ridiculous name you gave your AI…the AI I built for you."

The intern looked at the billionaire with an incredulous expression on his face with his jaw dropped. "Okay, I resent that," he said. "I could get you back for that."

"Oh yeah, how?" Tony said nonchalantly putting a hand on the table.

However…that turned out to be huge mistake…because Peter quickly grabbed one of his webshooters and fired one at Tony's hand…sticking it to the table. "Touché, kid," he said as Peter busted out laughing.

After leaving his mentor in the web for a good 2 minutes—Peter hated seeing him stuck for any longer—and talking to May over the phone after dinner, the veteran and the rookie immediately made the preparations in their suits and set out to Queens for yet another patrol with an Iron Man/Spider-Man collaboration. However, Tony added a new rule that they were not allowed to discuss politics or the Accords with the criminals, to which Peter quickly agreed. At first…with a few bike-stealers, a lost pet, and even a carjacker, it seemed like this patrol was going to be a quiet one, and then…just as Tony and Peter were thinking about heading back to the tower, Karen picked up something…another crime on her scanners…a mugging not too far from where they were.

Tony and Peter wasted no time in swinging and flying respectively to diffuse the situation. Sure enough, they arrived completely staying out of sight to observe the situation, and they could see two big guys dressed in black with ski masks with two teenagers—a boy and a girl, clearly a young couple, who were clutching each other in fear and terror. Tony felt his heart drop as he got a look at the teens realizing that they were probably around Peter's age.

"Okay, I got a plan, Mr. Stark," Peter said unknowingly jolting his mentor out of his thoughts.

"Uhh…okay, talk to me, kid," Tony replied completely hiding his fear under his mask.

As soon as Peter told Tony his plan, the two of them sprung into action to save the two teens. They both agreed to distract the two muggers to allow the teens a chance to run and to escape, and as soon as they would get out of the way safely, Peter and Tony would apprehend them and hold them until the cops would come. It was simple, right? It should be quick, and then Tony and Peter could head back to the tower, watch a movie or something, and then turn in for the night. It should've been…but it wasn't. One could say that there was a small set back.

As soon as Spider-Man and Iron Man came onto the scene, each of them landing on either side blocking the alley, one of the muggers wasted no time in firing the first shot…at Peter. Luckily, his senses kicked in, and he was able to dodge the bullet with it grazing him on the shoulder. As soon as the first shot was fired, Tony knew he had to keep his emotions in check, especially when he still had the two teens to worry about, so he quickly shielded them from the gunfire as the two muggers turned their sights to him and Peter. Thankfully, after that, the battle was quick. Tony used his repulsors to stun the gunmen allowing Peter to web them up to the walls of the alley. After handing the teens off to the police and answered a few questions, Tony and Peter moved away from the scene, and Tony couldn't help but notice that Peter was wincing as he climbed the building.

"Are you okay?" Tony quickly asked as he retracted his helmet and gently took Peter's left arm into his hands examining the wound.

Peter hissed seeing the tear in his red and blue suit and the blood trailing down his arm. "Yeah, I'm okay, Mr. Stark," he replied. "It just stings a bit."

"Looked like you were having a hard time shooting those webs and climbing," Tony said. "How about I carry you back to the tower and we can patch that up?"

"Oh, that's okay, Mr. Stark," Peter quickly said. "Y-You don't have to do that. I don't mind swinging back next to you. I used to do it all the time before we met."

Tony's jaw dropped. There were times ever since he and Peter started seeing each other more often that Tony would forget that Peter took on the superhero gig some time before they had ever met…before he gave the kid an upgraded suit with the technology he provided. Hell, even after they met, Peter still used his onesie to take on the Vulture. The thought of his mentee taking on gunmen and other hardened criminals without the tech…scared him. Nevertheless, he pushed that fear down…for the time being.

"Okay…I'm going to ignore that for now," he said, "and tell you that the adult is not taking 'no' for an answer. Let me give you a lift, kid. Besides," he smirked, "you know no one at your age would pass off a chance to get a lift with Iron Man."

Peter couldn't help but laugh under his mask. "Okay, okay, you win, Mr. Stark," he said.

"I always do, Pete," Tony replied.

Peter hissed in pain and pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Almost done, bud," Tony said as he concentrated on the scratch on Peter's shoulder sewing it with a needle and thread.

"How do you know how to do this?" Peter asked through gritted teeth bracing himself for the pain.

Tony exhaled. "You'd be surprised at how many times I got cut, bruised, the whole nine years in the field and even in my own home," he replied. "You learn basic first aid fairly quickly."

"Fair," Peter said nodding. "I guess…that's the benefit of having a mentor and an aunt, who knows about your superhero gig. You don't have to do it alone all the time."

"Exactly, you're learning, my pupil," Tony replied as he continued to stitch up Peter's wound. Yes, there were times he tended to injuries himself over the years, but the times when Rhodey, Pepper, or even Happy were around were much easier. "That's why—going forward—I'm making it another requirement that if you ever get hurt out there in the field, I want you to come to me here. If you call and I'm at the compound, you go home and let May and I fix you up, okay?"

"Are you sure?" Peter asked. "I mean…I-I know you're a busy man, Mr. Stark. I don't want to be a—"

"Ah-ah…you're not a burden, bud. Not to your aunt and not to me, and I know you're 15 and don't want to be babied, but it would just give May and me some peace of mind, okay?"

"Okay, Peter said nodding, "thanks, Mr. Stark." The teen smiled as he felt a warm feeling in his chest. After the battle at the airport in Germany and the ferry incident just a few months ago, Peter had no clue where he stood in Tony Stark's life…whether or not they would see each other or work together…or whether Tony even wanted him around. However, now, it had been becoming clearer that Tony did indeed want his intern…his mentee around and even more importantly wanted to spend time with him and help him. That felt pretty damn good.

"Anytime, bud," Tony said with a small smile. "So…how about once I finish this, we can head back upstairs and watch some TV before bed? Maybe brainstorm some ideas for lab time tomorrow?"

"Sounds like a plan."

Author's Note: Welp, that's all for PART 2, my friends! I hope you all enjoyed it! PART 3 won't be too far behind, and that will be SUNDAY going into Monday. Peter and Tony will get to bond some more before May comes home from her convention, and Tony…has something he wants to run by with May.

OKAY…now that that's out of the way. To answer PastaShark000's review, I have some good news….and not-so good news. The not-so good news is that…this oneshot series will stick to the IW and EG canon, and…sad things will be addressed at the end of this. This is about how Peter and Tony's relationship develops between Homecoming and Endgame with canon in mind. HOWEVER…HOWEVER…before you all come at me with pitchforks and torches, I have GOOD news. Because I'm nice and adore Iron Dad with all my heart…there will be not one…but TWO alternate endings that I will write. One is (if you saw my profile) "All We've Been Through," which basically diverts from IW and EG canon altogether and Peter and Tony BOTH survive the Snap and the second one is a oneshot or a short story that will divert from the last chapters that center around Endgame. Both are still in their planning stages, and I will let you know once I post them. ALSO, as a bit of a bonus, for my Raise Me Up readers, I will let you know at what point in this series the canon diverts to that story.

I hope that helps, and that you all will still stick around with that in mind. That won't be for a while, but those alternate endings will be coming.

Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, and I will see you all in Part 3!
