"I'm not your parent!"

For a moment everything and everyone froze around the compound. Steve nearly dropped his shield while Bruce was on the verge of changing back to hulk. The animalistic growl that tore from his mouth was unheard by any avengers before. The two gave a deadliest glare to their idiot friend Tony who dared to say these words to their youngest avenger. Even Clint had a worried look on his face wondering why in the world would Tony say something so harsh to a fifteen year old kid

All eyes were now fixed on Peter

The Spiderman... no scratch that... he didn't look like a superhero right now. He looked like a small boy lost in the middle of strangers. Peter's expression was one of horror mixed with despair, his jaw went slack and eyes widened in shock. His whole body was trembling and soon eyes stung with hot tears. It felt like he had swallowed a heavy rock as his throat bobbled up and down with emotions. Everyone could see Tony's comment had cut right through his heart.

The avengers shifted their gaze on the Ironman

Tony looked really upset. The rage was clearly vibrating from his body, eyes narrowed and hands fisted. They all knew Tony was feeling miserable for past three days. The work load had increased causing him to snap at almost everyone in his staff, including Happy. Media people were breathing down his neck, monitoring his every move which annoyed him to no limits. On top of that Pepper had gone to her parents house for a week. Bruce and Steve tried to talk to him but gave up when Tony threatened to take away their rooms

It was record heat wave on the fourth day. Even with the airconditioners on, it felt like they were stuffed in oven. Tony had gone down to his workplace early morning without even eating his breakfast. He spend half of the day researching on god knows what but he didn't care. The genius just wanted to be left alone for a while. He was busy with his beakers and chemicals when FRIDAY alerted him about Peter saying the boy had pressed on the emergency button on his watch

Tony got up from the stool "Is he hurt?" he asked in concern

"Peter's vitals are slightly elevated but other than that he is fine" replied FRIDAY

Tony frowned. If the kid was alright then why did he send a distress signal "Send me his location"

"Yes Boss" FRIDAY then answered in five seconds "Peter is in 24th park revenue street"

"That's close to compound. What the hell is he up to now?" Tony sighed in frustration "Ask Happy to get the engine started. This better be good Parker"

Apparently the boy was heading towards facility since he had holiday at school. He was three blocks away when suddenly he was surrounded by five paparazzi who started taking snaps even before he could protest. They began bombarding him with questions like how did he know about Spiderman and what was his connection with the Stark industries. Within minutes the area was crowded with people pointing and whispering about him. Feeling overwhelmed by the attention, Peter pressed on his watch

Tony arrived in ten minutes and quickly assessed the scene. He was furious at the media guys who were still hovering over the boy and not letting him go without answering their questions. He stormed his way through the crowd and stood protectively infront of Peter. He yelled at the reporters and warned if they continued to harass them, then they would loose their jobs.

On the way to compound Tony didn't utter a single word. Peter tried to have a conversation in his own cheerful manner but his mentor choosed to give him a silent treatment. The teen followed Tony inside where he waved a hi to other avengers

"What's up kid? Heard you had a little trouble" asked Bruce and Peter nodded "Yeah.. ah..I got surrounded by reporters on the way here. They weren't letting me go so I called Mr Stark"

"Damn those paparazzi. Next time you call me. I'll teach them the real meaning of privacy" said Clint

Peter smiled and started rambling in his usual self "Thanks Clint but I don't think that would be necessary. You guys should have seen Mr Stark yell at them" he laughed lightly "He was so amazing...he stood right infront of me okay.. just like a parent protecting their child from a mean teacher and..."

Tony who had sealed his lips for last half an hour turned around and snapped at the boy "I'm not your parent!"

XXXXXXXXXXXXX

Peter sucked in a shaky breath and looked at his mentor, voice sounding like it was choked up on something solid. He bit his quivering lips, trying hard not to cry like baby infront of everyone "I.. I didn't mean it Mr Stark. I know you're not my..."

Tony crossed the distance in two large steps and grabbed Peter's arm "You know nothing Peter! You can't even handle few reporters, how the hell are you planning to become a hero?"

The room was filled with silence

"I specifically told you to take a different route to compound. Did you listen to me?"

Peter swallowed hard "But..."

"I always tell you to be careful and don't get hurt but you still give me fucking migranes everytime we are on the field. Do you listen to me?"

Peter had no answer. He didn't know he was causing so much trouble to his mentor. He just wanted to impress the man and prove him that he didn't make a mistake by recruiting him.

Steve and others were shocked at Tony's sudden unnecessary outburst when it wasn't even Peter's fault. They could see the boy was literally shaking on his feet. Bruce came forward to calm his friend down "Hey big guy. Will you take it easy on the kid?"

Tony pointed a warning finger at Bruce "Not today Bruce. Not. A. Single. Word. I was the one who brought him here so none of you get to say anything in this matter"

Bruce fisted his hands and remained rooted to his spot. Tony's hard gaze was again fixed on Peter "What about our last mission when I told you to stay behind the van and guard the techno device. Did you listen to me?"

Peter bunched his jacket into his palms and gave a slight shake of his head

"Exactly! You see my point? You left the van and started fighting with the bad guys" Tony's loud voice echoed in the hall. Steve scowled at his friend. Everyone, including Tony knew Peter left the van because he saw threat on his mentor's life. No one in the room liked the way Tony was talking to the kid

Peter looked up blinking back his tears. Never in his life he had felt so alone and vulnerable before. Mr Stark was mad and it was his fault "I'm sorry Mr Stark"

"Sorry doesn't cover up your mistakes. You'll never listen to me"

"I do listen to you Mr Stark" Peter's low and heavy voice didn't go unnoticed by the adults in the room, all wanting to whisk the kid away from the raging man. Tony clenched his jaw and looked around. He then tightly caught the boy's right wrist and dragged him towards the balcony

"Tony what are you doing?" asked Steve

"Where are you taking him?" Clint shared a worried look with Bruce who shrugged in response and followed the billionaire

Tony made Peter stand right in the middle of the balcony "You listen to me right?"

Peter nodded

"Okay then Peter Parker, listen to this and try...just freaking try to obey. You'll not move from here until I tell you"

"What?" Steve narrowed his eyes "Tony what are you doing?"

Tony ignored Steve and looked at Peter "Can you do it? Can you listen to me for once?"

Peter gave a small nod

"Don't move an inch and prove me that you do listen to me" a stony glare carved into Tony's eyes making Peter shiver with fear "Am I clear?"

"Yes Mr.."

Tony turned around and left not even waiting for Peter to finish. Bruce huffed out a breath "Since when did he become so cold hearted?"

"We should talk to him" said Clint

"No" Peter almost yelled. He really didn't want to anger Mr Stark more and shout at the team "I mean... it's okay. I can stand here. I've a holiday at school and my homework is also done so..."

Steve shook his head "You're not going to stand here Peter. This whole thing is ridiculous. I'll go talk to him" he walked out, Bruce and Clint following him behind "We'll be right back kid"

Peter finally let the tears fall from his eyes that he was holding back for so long. He felt like he had dissapointed the one person who had become an important part of his life. He quickly wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and whispered "I do listen to you Mr Stark"
