《To Be A Dad (Irondad and Spiderson)》45: Not Really A Home

"It seems like we have a visitor, Sir," Jarvis said softly from his spot next to Tony. Tony sighed, tired from his yelling match with Steve. "Eddie Brock is here." The billionaire gave him a confused look.
"Why?" Jarvis shrugged.
"They are at the door Sir, and I doubt he would yell his issues right away." Tony sighed but brought his blanket up to his chin. "I'll go and see if the Avengers let him in."
Jarvis walked down and saw Eddie was in. "Tell me you have a plan to reverse this!" Eddie seemed furious as he spoke with the avengers.
"We are working on it, Mr. Brock. I do have to ask why you two are here." Eddie turned to him, he looked like a mess and Jarvis could only guess someone important to him disappeared.
"My Symbiote is gone, he was ripped from me, I want to get him back." Jarvis could see the pain it brought him and he knew exactly what he was feeling. Watching Peter disappear broke him too. That was his little brother, Tony told him to look after him, to take care of him. And he let him down.
"We will do everything possible to get them back, for now, we are just tossing out ideas." Eddie sighed and sat down with the Avengers.
Jarvis sighed and looked at Rhodey who was leaning against a wall. "How's Tony?"
"Sir is fine, he fell asleep a couple of minutes ago. I will take care of him, Colonel Rhodes, don't worry." The older man sighed and nodded, letting the android leave.
Tony sat up when his son entered. "I want to go to the lake house." Jarvis tilted his head.

"Should we wait until you feel better Sir?" Tony shook his head, trying to get out of bed but the android stopped him. "Sir, I know you want to find a solution but you can't fight like this, if you want to help Peter and Stephen you have to rest."
Tony looked away from his android, trying not to cry. "Did I let them down J? I promised myself I would never let Peter get hurt. I would never let him down."
"Tony," Jarvis spoke softly. "What happened was not your fault. Peter will still love you and look up to you. He adores you. Sir, he wanted to be Spiderman to be like you, he wanted to save the world and make it better just like you have been trying to do. You inspired him. This is just a bump in the road and we'll get through it, we'll get them back. Whatever it takes."
Tony cried as Jarvis held him, trying hard not to cry himself. He has to be strong enough for both of them, so they can have a chance against Thanos again.

Tony opened the wooden door to the small house. The wooden boards creaked when he stepped inside, he frowned at the silence. "Home sweet home, right J?"
The taller man just looked away sadly. "Not much of a home without them." He spoke quietly. Tony sighed and nodded, walking further into the house.
He smiled at an old drawing Peter had made when he was a kid. "Look J, it's you." The android smiled weakly at the picture.
"Peter did get me perfectly." Tony chuckled softly and kept walking through the house. He picked up an old photo and wiped away the dust.
It was supposed to be a formal picture but they all burst out laughing. Jarvis had his head thrown back, while Peter hugged his leg, gigging into it, Stephen had an arm wrapped around him as he laughs, mouth crinkled up and his smile was wide, Tony was leaning against him, hiding his laughter in his chest.
Tony put the photo back, feeling an ache in his chest.
This will never be home if they aren't here.

8 63Chimera
Eleanor meant the world to Titus. So when an opportunity to bring her murderer to justice appears, Titus jumps on the chance. His quest, however, would mean traversing the dangerous world of Nivandor, a land infested with monsters, night hunters, and corrupt kings–nothing he and his lord, Lady Priscilla, couldn't handle. Their plans change, however, when both of them are dragged into a nightmare realm, a dimension filled with strange and powerful terrors unlike any they've ever faced. Titus's skill as a kinetic mage is put to the ultimate test as he must work with his lord to fight off the increasingly dangerous monsters that hunt them as they hunt down the three remaining Seraph lords sustaining the Nightmare. For only when the final Seraph lord is slain will the Nightmare truly end. --- Happy Holidays! I tried to get a chapter out this month, but there was just too much stuff to do and I got sick. There will also be more stuff to do come the month of December to the point that I don't think I will have a chance to finish the current story arc on a strong note. So, as of today, I will be going on hiatus until the holidays are over. I will hopefully return with the last few chapters of book 2 as well as the DLC chapters to help clarify Titus and Priscilla's powers as well as a look into their lives before the story gets crazy (maybe 6-7 chapters). These chapters are planned to take place in the day between Chapter 1.4 & Chapter 1.5, detailing the day they had before going to Nivandor. How the DLC chapters will be titled is to be decided. The DLC chapters will be posted here free as usual. Really excited to get a break so I can catch up on chapters. Even more excited to be able to start book 3 once the current story arc is finished. Warmly, Daniel --- Disclamer: This story is not a finished product and will be undergoing changes, sometimes significant changes, as the story develops. Think of it as an early access story where nothing is fully set in stone. If I change a part of the story that you really love, I'm sorry, but changing one part of the story will affect the other parts I try to avoid major changes, especially in older chapters, but for the newer ones there will probably be more fine tuning. As for anyone invested in the story who is not happy with the way the story is going, feel free to DM me so I can get feedback. I want to know how you guys feel about the story, what changes I can make, at what point in the story I may have lost you. But until I get specific feedback, I won't know what changes might need to be made. There are about 14 chapters left for Part 2 of Chimera, give or take. I don't have a time frame for when they will be up but know I am chipping away at the chapters as I can. Warm Regards, Daniel --- Cover art credit goes to Brosedesignz, who has an awesome selection of both premade and custom book covers at great prices on her website. She can also be found at thebookcoverdesigner.com, which is where I found my cover.

Tala is a libertarian agnostic.Rick is an ultra-conservative traditional Catholic.Only their hidden attraction burns brighter than their superficial hatred. When Tala abandons her Catholic faith, resulting in the end of their engagement, both their friendship and their relationship seem doomed.Can they learn to compromise, or will pain and loneliness embitter them both?___I set a challenge for myself to write a series of narrative poems. It tells the story of two university students, drawn to one another despite the fact that they disagree with each other's politics and--more recently--one another's religion. ___#20 in poetry ¦ July 12, 2022#15 in poetry | August 14, 2022#90 in spiritual ¦ July 23, 2002
