Peter also known as Weapon-S, was never normal. He always knew things would be out to get him, but he always wondered why.
It all started with what was supposed to be a mission but turned out to be a trap set up by the Avengers resolving in gettin...
I should have known that we would catch the Winter Soldier first. Stephen said we would and I didn't really believe him, but I should have as he can literally see what's going to happen, but not sure when.
I set off to find Steph, and ask if we find Peter soon. We need to find him, it's going to get colder, fast.
New York was due for a rainstorm and if it lasts longer than a day then we could lose the chance to find him.
I walked into the Library and called out Stephens name
"Stephen!" I called and then felt arms wrap around my waist
I stiffened and looked down to find familiar arms rapped around me
"Yes love?" Steph asked hooking his chin over my shoulder and I let myself relaxed
"Don't do that" I said and tried to turn around to face him
"You know you love it," Steph said and I chuckled I was now facing Stephen slightly looking up at him
"What do you need?" Stephen asked and I rested my head on his shoulder.
"Are you absolutely positive that well find Peter, I mean with this storm coming, we could lose our chance." I said and Stephen started to slowly dance with me.
"Luv, I'm sure. I'm not sure when we find Peter but we do. When I say everything is going to be ok, believe me, because it is. Now, tell me why you want to find Peter so badly?" Stephen asked and I sighed
"I remember something, from a long time ago. I saw the picture of Peter as a toddler and something sort of just clicked in my head." I said and Stephen stopped and looked at me
"Do you want to tell me, or show me?" He asked
"Show" I said and he gave me a 'are you sure look' all I did was nod
We walked over to the chairs in the middle of the library room, and Stephen started the weird spell, linking our minds.
Memory
We were in a store, watching a younger version of me walk around looking for something.
"But May, please, I don't want the cake. I want the mask, please, if I just got the mask I would be happy, we don't need the cake, I wouldn't need anything else." We heard and not only did the Tony from this memory snap his head over to the commotion but so did Stephen and well me.
We saw a young Peter, with an older woman.
"Please May," he asked again
And 'May' shook her head no
"I'm sorry Peter but we can't, your mother would kill me if I got you the mask instead of your cake." She said taking a fake iron mask out of the child's grip
Younger me walked over and crouched down behind Peter taking off my glasses, Causing May to drop the plastic iron man mask and take a step back, also effecting Peter to look at her confused and turn around.
Once he came face to face with Tony he froze with a great big smile spreading on his face, and both my heart then and now still melted. I could tell the Stephens heart did the same from the look on his face.
"Hey kid. I couldn't help but notice that you had an iron man mask, and asked for it instead of a cake. Is it your birthday?" I asked and Peter nodded his head excitedly
"Yes, Mr.Stark, I'm turning 5" he cheered
"Well, that's a big boy number, isn't it. Say how about I buy you your mask and a pair of gloves, so that way, I believe you called her May, can get your cake and you can still get what you want?" I said and Peter squealed, May then found the courage in herself and said
"Mr.Stark I don't think that's necessary, really" she insisted and I held up my hand,
"Please, if it's his birthday he should get what he wants. And if you need proof for his Mother than we could take a picture together." I said and she nodded giving in
Peter squealed again and she took a picture with me and Peter with her phone then I took a picture of just me and Peter with my phone.
I still have that picture I think.
I then grabbed the mask off the ground and a pair of gloves to go along with the mask, May agreed to get the cake and we then meet in the line.
I ended up paying for their items and for mine. And when the lady refused Mays money, May look at me and I held up my hands up innocently.
Before leaving the store I got another picture of Peter and me with his newly bought mask and gloves

We parted ways and I went to my car, then sped out and to my plane so that I could get back to Malibu.
Peter only went back to his car eyes sparkling and looking as adorable as ever, only to later have everything get ripped away.
End memory
I opened my eyes and Stephen did too.
"That's why?" He asked so softly and I nodded.
I had met Peter before.
Before Harley, before the avengers, before the New York situation, before Stephen. But not before Iron man.
Peter was the push to do better, the feeling of being able to put a smile on a kids face like that was consuming, I don't get a whole lot of those smiles though.
But if I could rewind time I would have done more for him, and not just get him the mask and gloves.
Stephen hugged me and said
"We will find Peter, and if he wants then yes we can do something so he's not an orphan." Stephen said and I nodded and hugged Steph back.
Then T'Challa and Shuri busted in and looked at Stephen and me seriously
"We have a location on Peter hurry before he kills all the S.H.I.L.E.D agent's that S.H.I.L.ED sent out." they said and I instantly broke away from Stephen and rushed to my lab stumbling a bit
On the way down I told J to tell Fury and play this
