This is my first fanfic I hope you like it. Infinity war is so not happening in this Universe!


The cool Polluted air settled in his burning lungs as he greedily sucked in for air. The New York City below him made it easier to concentrate on anything but his momentary anxiety. Crouching on the Edge of one of the high skyscrapers Peter tried to calm his pounding heart, not to set off the distress signal in his suit that Tony has installed. Peter took in another deep breath before he flopped down on the roof looking at the few stars he could see in the sky.

Since May found out about his Abilities things have been different back home. It wasn't that they didn't talk or she was to pissed off at him but just sad and extremely worried about his nightly activities and somewhat relieved that she knew why he was acting weird for the past few months. She did have a word with Tony about it and Peter had been mortified when his aunt had expressed her colourful vocabulary towards the hero for including him a war. And war reminded him how the fugitive/Rogue Avengers were back in the city and in the Business because since their disappearance the crime rate was just up the sky and the President just brushed the angry and arrogant Ross out of the way when he himself realised the importance of having this super team with the country and the world.

He was yet to meet them since he has been super busy to get back on top of his class and the after school Decathlon practice. He even rejoined the Robotics club and till now has been on the top of each of his classes. Peter was in Junior year now. He was still the same Peter Parker he could ever be but things around him have definitely changed. He had somewhat become the talk of the school for ditching Liz, but Ned kept on insisting that girls were noticing him more. Yeah as if! Flash has shifted from verbal bullying to being more Physical. Shoving him on the ground, nearly hitting him with his car (had it not been for his Spidey senses) Dropping food in his head and the most embarrassing had been when he poured water on his head and his shirt had been soaked wet. ( Believe me, no one was complaining, especially the girls once they saw the Abs through his thin shirt.) Not that he noticed of course.

He however still remembered what had happened today to set his Anxiety off. During Lunch Flash had somehow shoved him into a locker and locked it from the outside before laughing and walking off. Peter remembered his heart beating in his ears and not being able to breathe, He remembered the weight of the debris and cement on him, the dust he had sucked in trying to breathe, he remembered crying for help. He was sure he would have gone into a full-blown Anxiety + Panic attack had it not been for Michelle who had opened the locker, standing next to a very concerned Ned.

Other than that Peter was Okay. He was fine.

His thoughts were interrupted when Karen spoke in a gentle tone. "Peter, It's 12:30. Curfew ended half an hour ago." Peter cursed under his breath and jumped to his feet before he rushed to the edge and jumped head first loving the feel of adrenaline course through his body. He shot a web a few feet before he turned into a bud-sandwich and rushed home.

" Man! MAy is going to kill me!" he whispered as he entered the familiar neighbourhood.


Tony wiped the grease off his hands, looking at Bruce who was concentrating looking down the microscope. Not that he would admit but having a lab mate was nice. That did remind him of Peter. He has not seen the kid for a while now since the Avengers came back. They have been Living in the Compound with the rest of team Ironman And truth be told, Tony may or may not have bought the Stark tower once again after seeing the winter soldier and Captain America a few feet away from him. He was not a child to not act civilly but the people in front of him had just broken him. Oh, he was not going to show it to these people but he strongly disliked the Captain and his 'best friend' so much right now to forgive him right away like the rest of the team.

He may seem stupid to his company people but he needed his own place to get away when he had to. He also wanted Peter to have a place to go to when he was in trouble or needed immediate medical attention. He was not going to admit it to the kid but he had grown on to him and Tony absolutely loved it. The kid was so precious to the world with his Bambi eyes and cheerful behaviour that Tony even though acted like he was not showing anything couldn't feel warm on the inside.

And Tony was definitely not going to show how the absence of the teenager was affecting him. He missed his forever ongoing chatter, and innocent conversations and curiosity about what he was doing, about science, and Tony could not be more proud when he received May's message, which happens more often now, telling him how Peter was on top of his classes and staying out of trouble.

He looked down his phone when a message from Happy popped up and frowned reading the context. ' No daily report from the kid today.' Tony hmphed and sat on the chair, oblivious to the scientist who was observing hid unusual behaviour since all of them came back.

Tony got up and walked to his privet lab frowning. "Friday activate Protocal: Babymonitor." He pulled a chair and looked at the monitor to see the suit activate and Peter quietly ask Karen about crime in the area. That alone had been a warning bell in his mind. ' Quiet from this kid was a no go itself.'

He saw him swing around the city and stop a few muggings, and store robbery and help an old lady cross street. But the second warning was when these jobs were done without saying anything. Peter had been too quiet today and Tony found it unsettling.

He fast-forwarded it to the part where Peter was on the skyscraper not talking. He saw through the eye monitor Peter looking at the sky before the AI had reminded it was over his curfew. Tony pressed his lips together and stood up before saying. " FRIDAY, send Happy a message telling him to pick the kid up from school and bring him to the tower."

He looked at the time and sighed when the watch read 3:30 and pinched the bridge of his nose. He walked out of his lab and passed the common area barely looking up to see the others still up watching a movie and walked towards the Elevator ignoring how everyone was looking at him and FRIDAY took him to his floor. Tony sighed deeply and walked into his room, changing into his pyjamas and hopped into bed, Still concerning over Peter.

Another thing that Kid changed in his life was how responsible he had become over a couple of months. He would tell the kid to got to sleep at reasonable hours and himself had stopped working all night long and actually get some sleep himself.

God, Tony felt like he has suddenly become a dad.


The change in Tony's behaviour was something that surprised the whole team. He appeared warmer if you could say that and they were curious about his behaviour. He would spend long hours in his Privet lab working on something no one was allowed to know about. He constantly checked his phone during certain hours of the day and would sometimes be disappeared to the tower for the whole day.

Not only that but, Pepper and Happy all seemed to know why he was so different and Pepper and Happy could not be more happy about it. The team noticed but didn't ask because while Civil, he had not accepted them back into his lives. Not that they were not trying, they knew that they all were responsible for the current state of the team and wanted to do everything to change things back to how it used to be.

But the Question remained, What happened that Tony was so... Different?
