You know what I think about a lot? Tony Stark reeling in the
wake of Civil War, going on 72-hour work benders, trying to clean up everyone’s
mess and whip the Sokovia Accords into shape and rebuild the decimated team and
figure out how he can build Rhodey a new spine and forget about a metal hand
squeezing the life out of his mother, and when Happy reports back to him about Peter
he hates himself a little for holding the kid at arm’s length, but everyone who’s
in his orbit eventually ends up getting hurt and it’s better for everyone if he
keeps his distance, but that doesn’t mean he’s not keeping tabs on the kid and
sometimes at 4.30 in the morning when stress and anxiety and too much coffee
won’t let him sleep he sits in his office and listens to Peter’s inane voicemail messages and can’t stop the helpless smile from tugging on his lips as he learns about a
kind old lady buying the kid a churro and for a moment he feels a little less
alone and broken.
