NOPOV

Peter was sat silently at his desk as he drew a couple of sketched for a new spider suit that he would make with his dad later.

"Dude.." Ned whispered from beside the boy, causing Peter to look up at him confused, quickly putting away his book when the teacher walked closer.

"What is it?" Peter mumbled and just before Ned could answer the teacher put a slip out on the desk which said 'FIELD TRIP TO STARK INDUSTRIES'. The boy silently cursed to himself and flinched when he felt a piece of screwed up paper being launched at him.

"Hey Penis! This is a great time to show that your lying right! Mr Stark won't even agree to have someone like you as an Intern" Flash snarked and Peter Shrunk in his chair when he heard whispering all around the classroom.

"Actually... Mr Parker won't be going on this one, it is only for those who have a good attendance and his has dropped... I'm sorry Peter..." the teacher said sadly but Peter just forced a small smile, secretly he was glad that he didn't have to go.

When school ended Peter quickly said goodbye to MJ and Ned whilst making his way to the car. However before he could he fell to the ground with a bloody nose once Flash's fist made contact with it.

"And where do you think your going Parker?" Flash sneered and clenched his fists, his gang surrounding Peter. Peter bit his lip and tried to get away but failed, covering his eyes and waiting for the hits to come. He moved his hands away when he heard yelling and looked up to see them all running away and Happy staring at him with a worried expression.

"Jeez kid... let's get you back to the tower and have Tony check that up for you..." Happy frowned and made sure Peter was strapped in before driving back to the tower.

Peter flinched a little when Tony applied an ice pack to his nose, trying to also avoid his dads gaze. Tony sighed and used his thumb to gently rub Peters cheek, smiling ever so slightly when the boy leaned into the touch.

"Pete... you going to tell me what happened or do I need to ask Happy?" Tony asked in a soft voice he only ever used in front of Peter. The young boy sniffled and looked up at Tony with his big brown eyes, passing the permission slip to Tony.

"Their coming on a trip here... but... but I can't go because I'm not allowed, not that I wanted to anyway... and... Some kids just thought it'd be funny to laugh and beat me up because they think I'm lying about knowing you..." peter mumbled and shrunk slightly, looking much younger than he actually was. Tony frowned at this and reached to pull the boy he loved so much into a hug.

"Hey kiddo it's fine... you can just stay of school that day and have lots of fun with me..." Tony smirked and ruffled the boys hair, happy when it caused him to giggle and playfully swat the man's hands away.

"Daddddd" peter whined with a big smile and sat up, squirming a little before jumping and hugging the man next to him tightly. Tony winced at the impact but wrapped his arms tighter around the boy, pulling him close.

"Your getting a bit big to be jumping on me kiddo..." Tony said softly as he rested his chin on top of Peters head.

"No your just getting shorted and much older..." peter mumbled into his dads chest, curling up to him as close as he could as if he was going to disappear any second.

"Oh alright make fun of your old man..." Tony grumbled causing peter to chuckle lightly, waiting as Tony put on their favourite program and watched it with him until he fell asleep against the man.

The next day Tony called the school with anger, complaining about his son being picked on and that nothing was being done about it.

"I-I'm sorry mister stark sir... but until we have evidence of this bullying we cannot do anything about it..." if this wasn't so serious then Tony would've took pity at how the girl was stuttering, clearly scared at his outburst.

"My son came home with BRUISES.. he didn't do it too himself! Besides he is not a lier! He wouldn't make something like this up" Tony said with frustration, lifting an eyebrow when he heard a sigh at the other end of the phone.

"We will look into this, but some children tend to lie to get their parents attention... maybe if" Tony's anger increased and he quickly ended the call before the women could finish that sentence. He slumped in his chair and let out a small sigh, frowning when he got a call from an unknown number.

"Hello? What is it?" The man said and quickly got up when he heard soft sobbing on the other end of the phone.

"D-dad... can....can you come get me please... I-I want to come home..." peter sobbed and Tony frowned, ignoring the yells from his colleagues and got in the iron man suit, quickly directing it towards Peters direction.

Once he arrived he quickly got out and was instantly met with a sobbing teen jumping up to him, clutching onto him as tight as he could. The man sighed softly and held the boy close, ignoring the shocked glances he got from most of the students. He squinted his eyes when he saw one of the kids faces pale and put two and two together, trying to control his anger as he held the sobbing boy.

"Pete.... Pete I need you to let go... I'm going to call happy to come and get us ok?" Tony whispered and Peter nodded hesitantly, reluctantly letting go of Tony and wrapping his arms around himself. Tony tried to show a small smile but immediately frowned at the kids bruised and tear stained face. He took a deep breath and called Happy, storming over to the one they called 'Flash' when he did.

"What's your name?" Tony demanded, his gaze dark towards the boy. The young boy gulped as his legs trembled, realising what he had just done.

"F-flash sir..." the boy squeaked and Tony glared at him, grabbing him by the collar and bringing them face to face.

"If I ever, and I mean EVER see you come near my son again so help me I will make sure your next few years at this school are a misery like you have made them for him!" He clenched his teeth, dropping the boy so he could run off as he made his way back to Peter. Once Tony saw Happy he went to go and sit in the back with Peter, sighing when he saw Happy's shocked expression.

"I found the kid who did it.. don't think he will bother Peter again seem as he knows that I actually know the kid now..." Tony said and flinched a little when he felt arms around his waist, looking down to see Peter trying to curl closer to his side as if he was trying to hide himself from the world. He sighed sadly and wrapped an arm protectively around the boy, rubbing his arm in a soothing motion.

"Don't worry kid... I'll always keep you safe, just remember to call me in future if something like this happens again alright?" Tony said softly and Peter nodded, nuzzling his face into the man's chest.

"Thanks dad..." Peter mumbled and smiled a little. Once they got home Tong had cleaned up Peter yet again and no one had ever bothered Peter at school after that day, not wanting to mess with Tony Stark's fury.
