"Mr.Stark?".

Tony froze in his spot as the wrench fell from his hands and clattered on the ground. Tony knew that voice and he thought he would never hear it again. Yet it seemed impossible. It should be impossible. He died. Tony knew he died. They were going to bury him tomorrow but Tony couldn't pull himself to do it.

"Mr. Stark are you okay? Do you need me to start the panic protocol?"

Tony felt a small hand get placed on his shoulder which only made the man flinch away. Tony stumbled over the table making everything fall around him. He hit his head hard on the ground.

"WHOA! MR. STARK ARE YOU OKAY?!"

Tony covered his face thinking he was having his sights again. He had them after his mom died and even saw his dad sometimes.

"You're not here. It's all my imagination" Tony mumbled shaking his head.

"What are you talking about Mr. Stark? I'm right here"

Tony finally took the courage to look up only to lock eyes with the honey coloured eyes of a certain teen spider who was staring down at Tony with worry clear in the honey coloured eyes.

"P-Peter?" Tony whispered letting his eyes widen dramatically.

"Mr. Stark I'm serious. Are you okay? That was a really hard hit" Peter asked again putting a suited had touch the back of Tony's head.

"Y-You died. I was there. FRIDAY told me that you had no vitals" Tony stuttered pointing a finger.

"You know I'm mostly just glad that you healed my body or I would've been trapped Astral Dimension for the rest of my life" Peter chuckled putting Tony's finger down.

"The what?" Tony asked tears gathering in his eyes.

"The Astral Dimension. I met a really nice man who can do cool things with his hands. Turns out I can do it too. Well not very well. I didn't realise that I casted the spell until I found myself staring down at you all when you found my body. I knew at that time that it would be a really bad idea to try and put myself back into my body. Plus I really had no idea how. So I went to the person who taught me. It took a while but apparently I got it" Peter explain chuckling quite a few times.

"But your heart stopped beating. You stopped breathing. You went brain dead. How is this possible?" Tony exclaimed tears freely flowing down his face.

"That I have no idea. I'm not really good at anything yet so I have no idea how I'm supposed to explain it. Maybe I could ask Mr. Strange but even he's not sure how I came back" Peter sighed his demeanour morphing into one of sadness.

Tony said nothing as he watched Peter's eyes go glassy as tears swelled in the boys eyes. Tony quickly grabbed Peter in his arms holding Peter's head against his shoulder and laying his head down as well.

"I don't care how you came back. I'm just glad you're back kid. It was way too dull around here without you" Tony cried somehow holding in his own tears.

"I know. I watched. All I wanted was to comfort you all. All I wanted was to come back and tell you all that I was okay. It was torture for me and I never want to go through anything like that anymore" Peter sobbed gripping Tony's shirt.

"I won't let anything like that happen to you Pete. I'm not going to take Spider-Man away from you. Just don't be so reckless" Tony sighed wiping his tears.

"I can't help it Dad—" Peter cut himself off by slapping his hand across his mouth. It only earned a small chuckle.

"Oh man you have no idea how long I've waited for you to call me that. Like you've been my son for six months now Petey. I think it's about time" Tony joked gathering his emotions but not letting go of Peter.

"You're the best Dad someone could ask for" Peter mumbled allowing exhaustion to take over.

"You're the best son I could've ever asked for Pete. If you're really tired because I felt you slump. Take a nap, I won't leave your side" Tony told Peter who let a small smile spread across his face before he fell into a peaceful sleep in Tony's arms.

Tony heard Peter's breathing even out before he carefully picked the sleeping teen up into his arms. Tony couldn't help the fact that pride and happiness were swelling inside of him knowing that Peter is alive and he finally got to hear Pete call him dad. Just like he always wanted.

Tony carried Peter out to the living room which was surprisingly empty. The man sat down on the couch laying Peter's head on his shoulder before holding Peter close. Tony ran his fingers through Peter's chestnut curls as he slept peacefully.

Everything seemed so surreal. Tony could finally understand how Steve felt when he found out Bucky was alive. Yet that created a problem. How was Tony supposed to announce that Peter was alive?

"TONY?! WE HAVE A PROBLEM! PETER'S BODY IS GONE!"

Well that made everything easier.

"It's not gone. Now could you please quiet down birdbrain or you might wake him" Tony ordered only earning a few sighs.

"Tony we've gone over this. Just holding Peter's body close to you won't make him come back to life" Natasha scolded the man only earning a hearty laugh.

"Yeah I figured that out a while ago. But I swear on my mothers grave that he's alive. Come take a look for yourself" Tony chuckled still running his fingers through Peter's hair.

Five people who were in the tour at the time came into Tony's view. It was Steve, Natasha, Clint, Thor, and Bruce. Ironic.

The five looked down at Peter's body expecting Tony to just be back in his spiral again. Yet they were pleasantly surprised and overjoyed to see Peter's chest moving as he snuggled closer to Tony.

"Man of Spiders is alive?" Thor asked dropping his hammer making a loud crash unfortunately waking Peter.

"Huh? What?" Peter questioned his eyes blinking away the light.

"FRIDAY. Turn down the lights" Bruce told the AI. Everything in the room dimmed as Peter used the sleeves of the shirt he was wearing to wipe his eyes. To the people in the room, he looked like a child.

"Uncle Bruce? What was the bang?" Peter asked blissfully unaware of what's happening.

"Kid. C'mon some people are happy to see you and you're acting like a rag doll" Tony pushes the boy a bit. But the sentence is what woke Peter up fully.

"WHAT?!" Peter yelled ultimately rolling off of Tony onto the ground.

Clint, Tony, and Thor has doubled over laughing, Natasha and Bruce we're hiding their giggles, while Steve, being the gentleman he was, helped Peter up off the ground. But also being annoying by pulling Peter into his arms.

"Okay. Here's the deal. I want everyone in the room to make me a batch of cookies and I will give you the boy in my arms" Steve bet them all earning chuckles.

"I don't think it's him. He doesn't seem ticklish like the old Peter was" Clint piped up discretely running a hand over Peter's ribs. Peter turned red and bit his tongue to keep from laughing.

"Oh. Wait. I see a giggle" Natasha added running her fingers over Peter's neck. Peter giggles this time but tried to cover it up by coughing.

"Okay okay. Please don't" Peter lightly begged with a smirk.

"I don't think I heard you young Peter. Did you ask us to tickle you?" Thor asked picking Peter up from his legs.

Poor Peter was now being held up by a God and a super soldier as they all crowded around him.

"ATTACK!" Tony yelled quickly running his hands over Peter's armpits.

The whole scenario was a mess of giggles as Peter tried to find an escape to the situation he was in. Yet to anyone who would walk in right now, this would look weird. To them, this was normal.

A little while later Peter was finally set back down on the couch, still giggling, trying to fight off the exhaustion. Yet he was unable to stop the yawn that escaped him.

"Uh oh. Looks like the Spider-Baby is tired" Tony joked landing next to Peter.

Peter let out a small huff before curling next to Tony who quickly wrapped Peter in his arms.

"You're right. I think we should let him sleep" Steve suggested also piling onto the couch.

Some of them grabbed cushions and sat on the floor just to be that much closer to enjoy the moment.

"Love you" Peter mumbled as he started to fall asleep once again.

"We love you too" Tony whispered into Peter's ear before kissing his forehead.

That's how they fell asleep. All huddled together with small smiles. Just like how families should be.
