Summary- Tony comes back to the tower after a meeting hoping to see Peter. When instead of finding Peter he finds a ransom note.

Tony's POV:

I knew something was off the moment i walked into the penthouse. It was to quiet. And i know it was just meant to be me and Peter here today so that made it even worse. Peter usually comes over after school to work in the lab but since i had a meeting to go to he just came up and said he'd just hang out until i get back. Which leads me to wonder why the tv or some sort of tech isn't on. "Peter?" I call out but get nothing in response. 

"Hey Fri? Wheres Peter?" I ask my very high-tech AI. "Mr. Parker is not in the building sir." What? Where is he? he said he'd be here after school so why isn't he? Oh i got it he probably had decathlon and forgot to say something. "Let me know when he gets here Fri would ya." i say as i make my way to my lab. "Mr. Parker was here but isn't anymore." and then my heart dropped. I stopped walking and started pacing. "Where is he Fri?" "Im unsure i was offline installing the update you created last night but i have records that he used his pass downstairs to get to this area." Oh god where is he.

I began just looking around until i spot a piece of paper on the kitchen island. Ah he must of had to go somewhere, that makes sense and since Peter is to nice he wouldn't have texted me while i was in a meeting so he left a note. And when i grabbed the piece of paper it was defiantly not Peter's handwriting. The note read;

To the Infamous Tony Stark,

I think you want the kid back in one piece I'm guessing so if thats so follow the instructions below. Gotta say the kid is quite the fire cracker, he put up a good fight especially for how he looks. He's got a smart mouth, guess he gets it from you. Had to show him some discipline for it but he's not to banged up don't worry. Anyway if you want your precious little Peter back i suggest calling the number below so we can create a plan. But don't think its that simple, I've got my demands Stark so just call <Phone Number> (A/N not putting one bc i have no idea if i could put one of someones and i don't want that :)

-You don't need to know

My world was spinning. Peter, the kid... my kid was taken. Shit. i quickly pull out my phone and don't even think about it, i start dialing the number listed. The phone rang for a few seconds before the call was picked up.

"Finally, was starting to think you didn't care about this kid." came a low and scratchy voice. "Where is he?" "Whoa whoa slow down Stark, as i wrote we need to come to a deal." "What do you want" "Money. Lots of it. How much you willing to pay for this crappy kid?" "Name it and its yours." Theres a few seconds of silence before the voice comes again. "15 million in cash. Come to the park closest to Oak Street (IDK) with the money and then you can get the kid back." "Wait! Don't hurt him anymore." "Hmmmm thats not part of the deal. See you soon Stark." and then they hung up. 

So as fast as possible i go to my safe and grab the 15 million... in cash. (lets just imagine he has one of the safes ok? great.) I put it in a bag and have my nano suit encase around my body. Then i take off, going as fast as my suit can go. The park was across town so it took about 5 minutes to get there. 4 minutes to long. Cant have anything else happen to him.

I land and my suit retracts. Luckily this park is usually deserted so no bystanders. I walk around for a second then spotting two figures. One standing up, holding a gun while the other is on the ground barely moving. I go up to them and as i get closer i realize that it is Peter and he's unconscious. Great. 

"Heres your money. Now let me have the kid." I said as confident as i could not allowing my fear for peter show. "Not gonna lie stark, you were quicker than i thought you'd be. Hand me the bag and he's yours." I toss him the bag, he looks through it for a second and then starts backing up. "Pleasure doing business with ya Stark." and with that the man is gone. I rush to Petes side, he started to stir during mine and mans interaction. 

"Kid. Pete? Come on buddy. Wake up." I try to sound encouraging but it comes out as more of a beg than anything. "Mis'er S'ark?" He slurs but he's alive so that all that matters. "yea its me Pete. I got you." "Hurts." he just says, seemingly more awake now. "Where, what hurts Peter?" "Foot, arm, hand, chest..." he's starting to fade out now. "Hey you gotta stay awake for me kid, ok I'm gonna get you back to the tower to check on you." But it was to late, he was unconscious again. 

So i allow my suit to form over my body again and i pick Peter up. Going as fast as i could again, we get back to the tower and i rush to the medbay. Bruce isn't here so it looks like ill be doing the check up today.

Now that I'm actually looking at him closer, his right foot is definitely broken same with his right hand. From the x-ray, he fractured his left wrist and had several deep cuts on his chest although those are starting to heal themselves now. I place his broken and fractured body parts in the respectfully needed braces/casts. Also placing some ointment on his cuts to help heal them a bit faster hopefully. 

Now all i gotta do is wait for him to wake up. I pull over a chair next to his bed and sit down. Luckily its not long before he stirs. "Hey kid, you feeling a bit better?" i ask quietly so i don't scare him. He groans, "Yea, a bit." Theres a few moments of comfortable silence before Peter breaks it. "Why?" I was kind of taken aback by that not gonna lie. "What do you mean?" "Why did you pay that, I'm not worth 15 freaking million dollars."

"Hey!" I didn't mean to scare him but he needed to understand. "You are worth that. I would pay any amount for you." "But why?" "Because i care about you Pete. Like a lot." "It was taking you a while and the guy was getting impatient and saying how you don't care. That i wasn't important to you, not as much as he thought. At first i didn't believe him but the longer it took for you to call the less hope i had." "Oh pete I'm sorry. The meeting ran a bit late so i got home later." "Its ok."

I was hesitant but i had to know, "What did he do to you?" You could clearly see Peter tense up and i regretted asking. "He um.. he had this hammer. And ever part that i fought with him earlier, he would hit with the hammer. I punched him, he broke my hand. I think you get the picture." I didn't know what to say, so i just gave him a hug. I could hear Peter start to cry so i just rubbed his back. "Its ok, your safe. Im here now." I did this for a while until i heard his breaths even out and small snores were heard. He had fallen asleep. I didn't want to leave his side so i just got on the bed myself and laid beside him (NOT STARKER). He looked so peaceful when he was sleeping, something you don't see often unfortunately.

But i was content. From this day forward i will protect Peter was everything i am, no matter what keep him safe.
