Tony grumbled as he watched his kid land safely in the hiding spot they picked. Tony only had a couple of hours before Ross would take them, he had to help them somehow.

If they would listen. The chat was short before he called out to his son. "Underoos!" Tony smirked as he watched the kid get the shield and make a great landing. If only he wasn't that talkative.

"Does he sound familiar to you?" Rhodey asked him, looking back at the web-slinger, Tony nodded.

"Very, we'll figure it out later." He promised, looking back at the fight.

Tony wished they had Stephen there when Antman turned giant. Maybe then they wouldn't be so outnumbered.

He already thought this was a bad idea, he took Peter out of school! He brought his 15-year-old child with him. He landed near Peter, fear welling up inside him as he watched his motionless body.

"Hey kid, you alright?" Peter turned quickly, arms up, and ready to fight. Tony gently took hold of him. "Hey, Tesoro, it's alright. Just me." Peter relaxed, letting out a breathless "hey dad."

"You're done." Peter looked up at him shocked.

"What! No! I can get him back!" Tony shook his head, letting him go.

"Stay down or I'll call Stephen." He took off, following where Rhodey was going.

He panicked when his friend started falling. "Rhodey!" He called out, turning to fly towards him. Rhodey didn't answer, and Tony could feel his fear grow as he watched him fall. "No!"

But then there was a portal, and a red cloak came flying out, grabbing hold of Rhodey, helping him land safely. Stephen stepped out of another portal next to Rhodey.

"Sorry, I'm late." Stephen smiled at his friend before turning to Tony, who landed and rushed up to Rhodey and hugged him.

"Rhodes, I'm sorry, I'll fix it." Rhodey patted his back, sighing in relief.

"I'm fine, thanks, wizard." Rhodey laughed a bit when Stephen rolled his eyes and turned to the Avengers, who were escaping. "Natasha is helping them." Tony nodded.

"Well work this out, come on, the spiderling should be around here."

Stephen walked around the airport, sighing when he saw Peter laying in the middle of the rubble. "Hey, Petey." The doctor called, crouching down and grabbing his son's arm. "We have to go home."

Peter turned to him. "Tired." He mumbled and Stephen chuckled. " 's dad 'kay?" He cleared and perked up when he heard someone land near them.

"Yeah kid, I'm okay." Tony gently peeled off the mask, frowning at the bruises. "Are you okay?"

Peter nodded, snuggling into Stephen, who had brought him up into a hug. Stephen gently inspected his eye. "I think I'll kill Captain America myself if he does this again."

"He didn't know it was me," Peter mumbled, curling up into the cloak. Tony sighed and looked over at Rhodey walking over.

"So, Petey decided to join us?" They sat down next to Peter, wincing at the black eye. Peter smiled back, and the rest smiled too. Peter was a strong kid.

"Just call me if things get out of hand," Stephen said as Tony got ready to go out and find Rogers. Tony nodded.

"I'm trying to make amends, nothing is going to get out of hand." Stephen sighed and nodded.

"Fine, just be careful." Stephen watches him leave, swallowing the bad feeling he was getting from the plan.

He turned and smiled at Peter, who was playing with the watch Tony gave him. He sighed and sat next to him, letting his son cuddle into his side. "Dad will be okay," Peter said softly.

Stephen smiled and nodded. "Of course he will, he's Iron Man. Peter nodded and yawned.

" he's the invincible Iron Man," Peter mumbled, curling up to go to sleep. Stephen nodded and brought his son closer.

He could only hope Peter was right.

Tony wheezed out as his chest tightened. Friday had sent alerts out to his husband but Tony was terrified he won't make it. His chest hurt and his body refused to get up anymore.

He rested against a pillar, watching the snowfall as he gasped for breath. He won't make it.

Down in the abandoned lab, something else started to awaken.

Something that was now catching up with news and catching up with what just happened to Tony.
