Awesome

I like your story and agree with your thoughts in Civil War.

This was a nice introspective read. I enjoyed Tony explaining his reasons even when he probably felt forced (in a back against the wall kinda way). Because even though I agree Peter didn't have anything to do with the little war and shouldn't new fighting.

And your note at the end was spot on for how I was feeling. Civil War was a pissing match between Tony and Steve and neither of them were right, but God. Steve was an idiot. I get that Bucky is his friend, but Tony also was his friend too. And he
acted like that was nothing considering he genuinely tried to kill him. I was so mad because Tony had all the right to me considering his "best friend" killed Tony's parents. No he shouldn't have acted so irrationally, but he had reason. Sucks that his reasoning was missing the entire movie. In the first Avengers, he was the first to doubt Nick and the accords weren't a little suspicious? But anyways, rant over. This was a good story and a nice reveal story to how they react to Peter's identity

Peter was actually 16 in Infinity war. Don’t know how. That’s just the way marvel made it

I agree with everything you said minus the part about Tony’s parents and tony wanting to murder Bucky. Despite tony’s hatred of his father he was still his dad and to find out that man who kept comparing him to his father when they originally met knew who murdered them is heart wrenching especially when Steve tried to hide the truth in instead of telling Tony and then later beat tony up to protect despite how you feel about your parents as long as they weren’t abusive in anyway you’re going to be angry at whoever murdered them especially if you were lied to about how they died for years so it was the pain of betrayal and anger that made him want to murder Bucky.

Nice fic! I too have had the same thoughts regarding Tony and his involvement with Pete and I think it's good that you've allowed him to explain himself, rather than everyone just jumping on the 'you used a kid you terrible person' train.
Short but sweet, I certainly enjoyed it :)

In response to your author's note at the end, I mostly agree with you, except for one thing about Steve. A lot of people seem to believe that Steve knew Bucky had been the one to kill Tony's parents, and that he deliberately withheld that information from him. Now, I haven't actually read the comics so I might just be misinterpreting the script, but I actually thought Steve didn't know about Bucky's actions...

Basically, just before the fight in Civil War, Tony asks "Did you know?" and Steve eventually admits "I didn't know it was him". I originally took this to mean that Cap knew Hydra had assassinated Tony's parents, but hadn't known Bucky was responsible. So it was more a case of Steve wondering if/when he should tell Tony about Hydra assassinating his parents, rather than him trying to get Tony to help him with Bucky, without actually telling him about the Winter Soldier's actions.
I feel like this would also make sense in the MCU, cos we actually see in Winter Soldier how Cap finds out about Tony's parents. As far as I can remember, Zemo reveals it to him by showing Cap that freaky Hydra show reel. But never explicitly says the Winter Soldier killed the Starks.
BUT, I guess if you wanted to disagree, you could argue that Cap would have discovered the truth in that file Natasha gave him at the end of Winter Soldier.
As I said, I haven't actually read the comics so my interpretations could be completely wrong... But for now I'll just stick to my own version of events :)

Anyways, not that it's really that important but I thought I'd throw in my own two cents. Thank you for sharing this story with us, keep up the awesome work!

I really like your writing style! As far as I've noticed, everyone's perfectly in character and Doctor Strange's sass! damn! Also, very good arguments at the end
