A Little to the Left

What to Expect:
—Everything the same as normal, but a little to the left
—IronDad/SpiderSon
—MothMan!Peter (My own AU idea. I wanna draw it at some point heheh)
—MothMan legends

I'm going to explain the science and reasons behind Peter's abilities at the end, but for now all I'll mention is that yes, his clothes turn invisible with him. Why? I said so.

Peter raced through the halls of Chicago's Stark Tower, heading straight for the lab of the famous Tony Stark.

The billionaire was working on his CopperMan suit when the younger hero burst through the door. "Tony!" Peter yelled.

"Kid you're going to give me a heart attack one of these days," Tony teased, "What's up Bug Boy?"

"Moths aren't bugs," Peter corrected, his antennae perking up above his head, "but I just watched a movie based on some creepy stuff that happened and I was wondering if we could visit the place where the movie was meant to take place?"

Tony raised an eyebrow. "What movie?"

"The SpiderMan Prophecies!" Peter exclaimed, "It's a really creepy horror story about a guy who's driving to work when he's suddenly teleported nearly two states away to Point Pleasant, West Virginia. A bunch of weird stuff starts happening, and this creepy Spider Guy shows up and-"

Tony laughed. "Don't spoil the whole movie kid. You said West Virginia? We could probably take a weekend trip there at some point."

"Thank you!" Peter exclaimed, hugging the older superhero. "I'm going to head out on patrol now. Bye!"

Two weeks later Tony and Peter arrived at Point Pleasant, West Virginia with plans to stay from Saturday at noon till Sunday night.

First, they decided to drive around and see all the SpiderMan gift shops and statues that were littered throughout the town.

After eating dinner at IHOB, the pair headed out to the graveyard where the SpiderMan was first sighted.

Peter had his antennae hidden in his hair and so he didn't sense Tony sneaking up behind him. "Boo!"

Peter screeched and jerked back, turning invisible as he did so. He slowly became visible again with a mean glare at Tony. This camouflage type ability was something he'd gotten from the moth bite along with the Antennae and wings.

"Cone on Tony!" Peter exclaimed, shaking his wings indignantly, "that was mean."

Tony just laughed and the two headed into the graveyard for a bit before going back to the run-down motel where they would stay the night. Tony could have definitely gotten them a better place to stay, but according to Peter that would 'Ruin the atmosphere'.

"Alright," Peter said as he wandered over to the bathroom to brush his teeth, "I'll admit that maybe we should have gotten a better hotel."

"See? You should learn to have more
faith in me."

"In you?" Peter raised an eyebrow. He turned on the faucet and continued with, "Yeah, okay, next time we're going to a creepy town I'll let you make all the decisions."

Tony laughed and flopped onto the bed, pulling his phone out of his pocket.

[ You have 2 missed messages ]

Pulling up the application, he saw that one text was from Pepper and the other from Clint. He checked Pepper's first.

Pepper: Alright, why did I find out you were visiting some old town after you'd already left?

Tony: Didn't think to mention it.

Pepper: Riiiiighhht. We'll talk about this when you get back. Tell Peter I said goodnight.

Tony: You wound me.

Pepper: Whatever you say Princess.

Tony: Night

Pepper: Goodnight

He checked the message from Clint next.

Clint: Thank Thor you finally took Bug Boy to the spider town. He's been talking about it for weeks.

Tony: Was he that bad?

Clint: Absolutely. You're lucky he only talks about science with you. Otherwise you'd know that Indrid Cold was some creepy alien guy from the planet Lanulos.

Tony: So he was that bad. Sorry.

Clint: Yeah, whatever. Tell Bug Boy good night for me.

Tony: You and Pepper both.

Clint: ???

Tony: Night Clint

Tony turned off his phone after that, realizing that the water was still running in the bathroom. It had to have been long enough for Peter to be done brushing his teeth.

Tony swung off the bed and approached the bathroom slowly. He panicked when he didn't see Peter.

But he did see two glowing red eyes in the window.

Tony's eyes went wide and his jaw dropped. "Shit shit shit shit shit-"

He was cut off by a laugh and Peter slowly becoming visible against the window.

"Don't fucking do that," Tony growled, his heart beating a million miles an hour.

"Sorry, but the chance was too good to pass up! Plus, I got you back for earlier."

"That's what this was about!?"

"A little." Peter turned off the water and gave Tony a smile, "But also, who else has a suit with glowing red eyes?" He smirked. "Clint would be proud."

"Yeah, well I'm not Clint. Go get some sleep."

"Yes Dad," Peter teased.

"Clint and Pepper say goodnight."

"Night Clint! Night Pep!"

"Oh, so I don't get a goodnight?" Tony teased.

"Night Dad."

He wasn't entirely sure why, but Tony liked it when Peter called him 'Dad'— even if it was in a teasing way.

Both of them slept well that night.

When they woke up they packed their things and got breakfast at Pancake King. After that they headed to the Silver Memorial Bridge, a replacement for the Silver Bridge that collapsed after the SpiderMan's last sighting.

"How creepy is that?!" Peter exclaimed after finishing telling the SpiderMan's story.

"Creepy enough to give me chills," Tony responded with a shiver. "Anyway," he continued, "we should get going."

"Awwww..." Peter whined, following Tony back to the car.

"Did you have fun?" Tony teased.

Peter nodded vigorously. "One of the best vacations I've ever been on."

"I'm glad."

The two got back to the tower just before dinner.

Bucky had made pasta.

I promised an explanation of Peter's powers so here.

—Camouflage - Moths evolved to blend with their environment
—Wings - Yep he's got wings. He's also still got the advanced metabolism so at most his wings take 3 days too heal if ripped.
—Antennae - They pick up vibrations. At this point, he can even 'hear' people from far away because of the vibrations from their voice. He usually hides his antennae in his hair.

I think those are the abilities I've mentioned (there are others). Tell me if I missed any.

Also! This is based on the MothMan legends! Look it up if you're interested. And The Mothman Prophecies is a 10/10 movie. Chills!

Also, I don't currently have any other plot ideas for the Left AU, but at some point I'll probably add to this story. I really wanna share the other changes to the universe, like Black Mamba vs Black Widow and stuff like that.

Anyway, thats all for now, bai~
