Chapter Three

Tony stayed in the hospital for a couple of days while the doctors and nurses ran tests on him. They tried to keep it as private as possible but the press soon found out and it was all over the news. For some strange reason it intrigues people when famous people are in hospital, not because they hate them, it's just the suspense is what intrigues them. Tony was feeling better but he could still only think about Peter, the doctors explained that he was going to be fine and that they don't know what happened but they said they knew that it won't happen again.
"Pepper?" Tony turned on his side to face the tall woman sitting at the narrow desk across from him.
"Yes, Tony" she looked up from a small pocket notebook.
"Is Morgan ok?" He raised an eyebrow.
"She's fine, Tony. I hired a babysitter" she explained.
Tony couldn't help but worry, although he didn't like to show it inside he had a soft spot for certain people, including the one and only Peter Parker.
"So you're just leaving our child with a stranger!" He gasped.
"Tony, relax" Pepper stood up and walked towards the door.
"Where are you going?" He asked pushing himself up into a comfortable sitting position.
"I need to make a few business calls, I'll be back in just a moment"
"Fine" Tony shrugged like a teenager who's mother just told him to clean his room.

As soon as she left Tony fiddled around with a pen he found on the table next to him.
"Mr. Stark"
Tony's head shot up looking around the room with concern. He couldn't quite get the words he wanted out but he did manage to find a measly, "hello?"
"It's me, Mr. Stark, it's Peter" the voice sounded so close but felt so far.
"Peter?" He gasped holding onto the side of the bed.
"Mr. Stark, you seem so different" the voice squeaked out.
"Yeah well it not easy to be the same when you've had a whole god damn seizure!"
A skinny, curly haired boy appeared out of nowhere, "Mr. Stark" the boy whimpered.
"PETER!" Tony began sobbing.
Peter sat on the chair next to the bed.
"You're not Peter"
"Huh?" The boy looked over at Tony, confused.
"Peter doesn't act like this!" Tony screamed
"calm down Mr. Stark"
Tony opened his mouth to say something but before he could Pepper bursted into the room, "Tony, I've got great news!" She smiled excitedly.
"What is it" he was still trying to comprehend what had just happened.
"You've been selected as America's man of the year" she smiled waiting for him to return the smile.
"So what's new?" He laughed sarcastically.
"Tony this is only your second time being selected since 1997" she said sternly.
"Yeah, the other times I was man of the world" he laughed again almost choking on his own sarcasm.
Pepper roles her eyes as she made her way over to Tony with a black clipboard, "they need you to sign these"
She handed him the clipboard and a pen, he glanced at her and then back at the hundreds of sheets of paper, at least that was what he saw, in reality it was only about fifteen.
"I'll look through them" he said dropping them on the floor.
"You just dropped them, Tony" she glared at him angrily
"Later" he smirked, laying back down and resting his head on the pillow.
He began thinking about the times when he thought he saw Peter, that made him think about Titan, Thanos an his last words "sorry Mr. Stark"
Tony's eyes got heavier and heavier until he found himself in a deep sleep with only the sound of his breathing to give himself comfort.
