《Troubled // Irondad》25
Advertisement
Peter was stumbling backwards as Tony stepped out of his Ironman suit. Spider-Man, being the clumsy Peter Parker-Stark he is, tripped and fell right on his butt. Embarrassing when your super cool dad is scolding you.
He quickly got up and stood in place, scratching the back of his neck. Tony was now right in front of Peter. And although Peter wasn't looking directly at him he could tell there was a big frown on his face.
"What were you thinking? Hey," Tony snapped his finger in front of his kid's hidden face, "look at me."
Peter looked up at him and fixated his spider lenses on him. He didn't want to get yelled at like the first time. He wanted to keep his suit.
"I'm sor-" Peter started.
Tony waved his hand to cut him off. He knew the kid was sorry. It's just he always apologizes, even it wasn't his fault.
Honestly Tony would've done the same thing he did, but he was still pretty mad. "Take the mask off."
Peter obeyed and pulled it off his head, then looked back up at Tony. Tony's anger was replaced with concern now. "What happened?"
"Oh," Peter lifted his hand up to feel his cheek, "I got kicked. Should heal soon." He knew he got hit but he didn't know it left a mark.
Tony nodded and let that topic go, Peter was glad he didn't push it.
"Peter I told you not to come. You could've been hurt again, if something bad happens to you again- why are you laughing?"
Peter's lips thinned but they curled back up when he answered, "I'm nervous."
"So your laughing?" Tony asked, confused.
"Yeah why not," Peter's smile was bigger now.
"You're a weird kid," Tony sighed then started again, "but I told you-"

Peter interrupted, "ok dad listen I know you would've done the same thing plus I didn't even really get hurt. I'm ok! I swear! But here's the deal."
Tony crossed his arms, a look of interest was plastered on his face by the way Peter was comfortably talking to him like this.
Peter continued, "I know you've been drinking more and I'm pretty sure it's because of me..."
Tony cut in, "no Peter it's not you it's just-" his heart sunk when he heard Peter say that.
"You don't need to explain dad I would be stressed out too if I were you. With everything that's been going on with me. It's alright. I just want you to be ok too. I'm tired of losing everyone I love. So you stop drinking and I'll listen to you to stay back for missions. Deal?" Peter held out his hand.
"Deal." Tony took his hand and shook it firmly. After that Tony engulfed the kid in a hug. "I love you."
"I love you too," Peter smiled. "But my arms are starting to tingle."
Tony pulled away and ruffled Peter's hair. "Now the hard part is telling Nat why you didn't stay home. She gonna be maddddd," Tony teased.
"Oh shoot," Peter sucked in a breath and Tony laughed.
"Race you back home," Tony said. His suit assembled around him and he started flying up. "Loser cooks dinner!"
"Not fair!" Peter put his mask on and both of them were off. Racing back to the tower by swinging and flying.
Peter had to cook dinner that night.

Centipede
This is a fan fic set in the brilliantly crafted world of Chrysalis, which RinoZ has generously given permission for me to post. Our hero is no transmigrated human, but a genuine monster, spawned from the rich mana veins running beneath a fungal expanse. Unlike other Claw Centipedes, this hatchling is special, gifted with sapience and cunning. Both of which are useful tools to hunt and kill and eat with. Maybe even more useful than claws and stinger. (Probably not). Please join them as they seek answers to life's big questions: Is that edible? If so, how do I kill it? And can I get my kin to do most of the work?

Art of Mortality
New Synopsis after chapter 56: Long long ago, there was a mortal who despised the gods and envied the immortals. Why do the mortals have to die when the gods wish them to? Why do worlds have to perish when the gods say so? Why do only immortals get to live forever, why not mortals like him? As his family, friends, and his loved one died, he lamented. He wailed, he cried. He cursed the immortals, blasphemed the gods, spat at the heavens. But he was just a mere mortal. His curses were pointless, his blasphemous words were useless, and his spits only returned back to fall on his face. At last, he thought, enough was enough, he would definitely do something about it. He decided that it was time for the multiverse to know what a mortal can do. He was the first mortal to cultivate. Eventually, after a long struggle, he killed the Immortals, enslaved the Gods, and shattered the heavens. He reshaped the multiverse and rewrote his fate. In the end, he reincarnated as he decided upon a grand scheme, a scheme to rule 'All and Always'. He came up with the concept of what is known today as 'Paragon'. And with this, all of reality, 'All and Always', was finally reforming, according to a Mortal's Wish. Synopsis (Old): In the vast and complex multiverse, what can a mortal accomplish? In the grand scheme of things, what can a mortal change? In truth, what is a mortal, and what is mortality? Being mortal is being ordinary, the same as being trash, or so says The World. "No, mortality is an art, and a true mortal is a grand artist. Being the root of all, a mortal can become anything.", says a young mortal boy. Meet Edward Alexander, a mortal boy walking the path against gods and immortals, fighting to the end to rewrite his destiny, and change the grand scheme of things. Can he really change the grand scheme of things? Or maybe he himself is the Grand Schemer? To know the answer, follow Edward Alexnder on his journey to demonstrate the Art of Mortality.*******
