Sorry Kid, Wrong Number

2. How Does That Happen?

Tony looked down at his phone for the 3rd time that hour. After that kid  texted him yesterday, he couldn't stop thinking about their situation. Having gone through a similar experience, his heart really went out to them.

He felt the need to say something; he wanted to know that they were okay. But he didn't want to be nosy or make matters worse. It's no secret that Tony Stark isn't really the person you should go to for counseling.

After a while, though, he got bored and just decided to text them anyway. Besides, there was something the kid had said that was bothering him.

Hey, did you say your friend broke his phone with a toaster?

Peter
...yeah

Why do you ask?

???
Because I don't understand how that  happens

Peter
Are you just trying to make conversation with me because of my aunt?

Cuz you don't have to

Peter
