Cue stressed noises and awkward laughter. I still don't own Marvel, I am just a lump of stress and tears. Sorry this took so long...I don't really have an excuse beyond being horrible at time management.

This was requested by a person. Said person was, I believe WolfStarT07 Person, I hope you enjoy.

Warnings: FFH spoilers? Villain love? Feelings?

"I don't know whether to laugh, cry, or just give up." Peter muttered to himself.

"Kid. You were hit by a train. I don't think laughing is the right response." A familiar voice sounded from behind the mentally exhausted teenager.

"Stop." Peter held a hand in the direction of the voice without turning to face it. "Don't step closer until you prove it's really you, Mr. Stark."

"Well there was that one time you got your foot stuck in a pan trying to test its 'non-stick' claim. Or that time that you called me your favorite father-figure because I wasn't dead, that was kind of depressing actually, but you laughed at it. Or that time you forgot to-"

"Okay!" Peter yelled, his face bright red. "I get it." He turned and hugged the approaching figure.

"Or what about that time you thought that I was real?" Tony dissolved in Peter's arms, and the teenager woke up with a gasp.

"Dad!"

"I'm right here, Petey. It was just a nightmare."

Peter sighed and collapsed into his father-figure's open arms, concentrating on the heartbeat that was never quite right in Beck's illusions, and knowing that what he was experiencing was real. It was only two days ago that he fought Beck for the last time.

Garry had been the one to kill him, despite all Peter's protests. He was very protective of the young hero and went full villain mode on the only villain that was currently anti-Peter. Peter has been struggling with nightmares and figuring out reality since then.

Just yesterday, he had had a full-on breakdown in front of the Avengers because he didn't know them well enough to know if they were real or not until Tony came back into the room.

"I love you, dad." He snuggled into the arms of his protector.

"Love you too, kiddo."

Whoops. That sucked. Hopefully I'll get back into my writing style after being away for so long, but I hope you at least somewhat enjoyed this.

Bye!
