Orphan Spider

Chapter 34

Tony's P.O.V

Peter had been gone for 2 months and I swear. If it weren't for Stephen, I would've lost my mind ages ago. I feel so guilty. If I only made his suit safer he would be here right now in the lab with me. Giving me that bright smile of his.

I'm currently in the lab tinkering with something, just so I have something to do. If I don't work, I'll go mad. Then, all of a sudden, my phone *dings*, telling me I got a text. I put down the piece I am working on and pick it up. I don't recognise the number, but I open the chat and hope for the best.

Hi Mr. Stark! This is probably going to come off as a little weird. But...uhh... Have you seen Peter? He's been gone for... 2 months now? I'm really worried. Did something happen to him? Is he at the tower?

Tony

Who is this?

Ned

Oh! I'm really sorry. I'm Ned Leeds, sir. Peter's best friend.

Tony

Oh, I see. Yeah Peter has talked a bit about you

Ned

Really?!

*Ahem*

Tony

Did you just clear your throat?

in a chat?

Ned

Yes. Now, Peter.

Is he alright?

Oh, and I know he's Spider-Man so... umm... did he get hurt during a mission and is stuck in bed? Because he isn't answering his phone. I mean, it seems like he's missing...

PLEASE TELL ME HE ISN'T MISSING

Mr. Stark...

You there?

Tony

He...

I'm sorry Ned...

We are doing our best to find him

Ned

No...

I...

He can't be...

...

Let me help

Tony

What?

Ned

Let me help.

I am able to hack into S.H.I.E.L.D.'s database (which is how I got your number)

Let me try and help.

Tony

Kid, we already tried everything

Even Shuri, one of the worlds smartest people couldn't find him

Ned

Just... trust me on this

I'm sending someone over

Meet him on the roof

He has some info you might wanna hear
