You have been sitting quietly at Pepper's feet while she sat at the table doing some work. Every now and then she'll bend down to pat you on the head, which you find you like.

 Then Tony bursts in, panting and looking scared.

 "Tony, what's going on?" Pepper asks, getting up from her chair. 

 "It's just-it's...problems. Nothing I couldn't take care of." Tony sits down at the table. "I'm fine. I just need to...I need...relax."

 "And it's not any kind of anxiety?"

 You can sense something's not right with Tony from the way he came in, and the way Pepper is worrying over him. You get up and go over to him, looking up at him curiously.

 "Hey, there," he says when he sees you. "Come on, you can come sit down with me. I'm just...well, I don't know. I guess I just...haven't been taking on many battles lately, and I'm...all right, maybe I'm a little anxious."

 He sits down on the floor with you, and you put your head in his lap.

 "Now I feel a little better." He smiles down at you. "Pepper, I think you were right about a service dog in the end. Y/N is pretty awesome, when you think about it."

 Pepper smiles at the two of you. "I hope you're not only realizing that just now."

 "Mr. Stark! Mr. Stark!" A boy you've never seen before comes running into the room. "Are you okay, Mr. Stark? You kind of just ran off, and I-I thought I ought to, you know, make sure you were okay."

 "I'm fine, Peter," Tony says. "But thanks for coming to check on me. Um, I don't think you've met Y/N. Y/N, that's Peter. He's not dangerous, I promise."

 You look at the boy standing awkwardly in the middle of the room. You don't sense anything menacing or even remotely dangerous about this Peter, so you figure he can't be too bad.

 Then someone comes in to tell Tony he has a visitor. The name of the visitor sounds very familiar, but you quickly realize who it is, and you move to hide under the table.

 "I think I'd better go handle this in a different room," Tony says. "Pepper, can you stay here with Y/N and the kid? Hey," Tony looks down at you under the table, "Thanks to you, I'm ready for another battle. Don't worry about it, okay? I'll be right back."

 After Tony leaves the room, you hear Peter ask Pepper, "Who's he going to talk to?"

 "Y/N's old owner," Pepper answers. "He wants to take her/him back, but Tony doesn't think it would ever happen. We're pretty sure that man abused her/him."

 Peter gets down on the floor and peers at you under the table.

 "Hi, there," he says. "I'm Peter. I get why you're scared, but you don't have to be. Mr. Stark is awesome, and I know he'll keep you safe."

 The boy seems so honest and sincere, and he clearly believes in Tony as much as you do. You move a little closer to him and let him gently pat you on the head.

 Not long after, Tony comes back and says, "All right. It's taken care of. He will not be back to bother us again. And no, I didn't kill him, before anyone asks. Well, would you look at this?" He sees you've come out from under the table and are sitting with Peter. "Looks like you two made friends."

 "Yeah. She's/He's a really great dog, Mr. Stark," Peter says.

 Tony smiles down at you. "You're definitely right about that, kid. And you don't have anything else to worry about, you hear?"

 Looking up at him and hearing him say so, you do believe you don't have anything else to be afraid of.
