Peter

I swung into the tower through an open window. When I came inside I fell on the floor where I stayed down for a while. My stomach hurt a lot. Not because of stomach ache but because I had been stabbed. Even though I had fast healing I should probably get something to stop the bleeding since I was already getting dizzy.

"Hey Friday" I said as I slowly sat up holding a hand on the stab wound.

"Yes mini boss"

"Where's dad?"

"Boss is currently in his lab"

"Thanks" I grunted and stood up.

The bloodloss and pain were really starting to get to me. I could barely walk straight to dad's lab. When I finally got there I sighed relieved and took off my mask before I entered.

"Hey dad I uhm.....what are you doing?" I asked confused.

Dad was standing in the middle of his lab with his iron helmet on. His legs were slightly bent and his arms were stretched out.

"Peter! Peter is that you?" He asked looking around.

"Yeah. What are you doing?" I asked and walked closer.

"Well I was trying to upgrade my helmet. But something went wrong and now I can't see shit and it's not coming off" dad said turning around, trying to locate me.

I grabbed his arm and flinched because he couldn't see me.

"Can you help me get it off?"

"Sure do you want me to use my super stren...."

"No!....no I've been working on this helmet for a while now. Just help me over to my desk"

"Okay" I said glancing down at my stab wound.

That could wait. It's not like dad could help me right now. So I have to help him first. I started slowly leading him towards his desk with one hand. But when dad almost fell I had to stop covering my wound and hold my other hand on his arm. Luckily dad didn't ask about why my hand was so bloody. Probably because he couldn't see it and just thought it was sweat from patrol.

"Alright dad. Here we are" I said and sat him down on a chair.

"Gosh, I'm never gonna get tired of hearing you say that" dad said.

"What? Here we are?" I asked teasingly.

"Peter" Dad said seriously.

"Yeah yeah....I don't even think about it. It comes naturally to me. How do I open your helmet?" I asked looking at dad's tools.

"It's a screwdriver but the tip is just a triangle. I have it as an emergency thing." Dad explained.

"Ok.....uhm....oh I got it" I said and picked up the thing.

"Great. Now behind the circle on my helmet should be a small triangle shaped hole. Use it there and start to screw it 90° to the left before you screw it to the right until my helmet comes loose"

"Okay" I said and did as I was told.

"So Peter....why did you start calling me dad in the first place? I mean....before I adopted you"

"Isn't it obvious?" I asked.

"Well I have a few theories but I wanna know for sure"

I smiled and looked down at my wound. It is really starting to hurt now.

"Well....you were my mentor. So you already taught me a lot of stuff. And then you started helping me with my homework, we started watching movies together, I spent some nights here, you picked me up from school with Happy.....it's you know....kinda what a dad does. So I accidentally called you dad a few times.....and I guess it just stuck"

"Really?"

"Yeah....and after a while you stopped responding to Mr. Stark and Tony so I had to."

"Oh yeah. I forgot about that" dad laughed a bit.

"It's not funny! I was so embarrassed about it" I said

"Haha yeah I remember. Your face, when you had to call me that for the first time with the team around, was hilarious"

"Not for me. They started calling me baby Stark" I said

"Kinda catchy" dad chuckled.

"No. Some of them still call me that. And they have started singing it to the baby shark melody"

I then heard the sound of my blood dripping to the floor. When I looked down I saw how my blood had flooded from my stomach and to my knee where it was dripping from. And as if that wasn't bad enough just then dad's helmet came loose.

"Oh yeah I love that-....OH MY GOD PETER YOU'RE BLEEDING!!!!" Dad yelled as he could finally see me.

"Yeah....I forgot to tell you about that part....didn't I....I'm....really dizzy?" I said before everything turned dark.
