That tiny loophole

The barn

(1 year and 6 weeks ago)

'meet me in the barn'

i blinked ... then blinked again, if i clearly remember, dad was supposed to be dead, for 8 months ago cause that text clearly came from his phone that was clearly 7 feet down tucked inside his grave i shook it off and called mr.fury just incase and swung off the location i landed in front of this weird-ass barn the door was open so i just snuck in

'uh ...'

'hey pete i missed you holy shit youve grown so much better then all those security cameras by the way' he walked up to me and gave me a tight hug but i..couldn't give it back because ewhoever tis man is its definetly not dad and it cant be beck he's in jail

"um excuse me but who in the hell are you?" i pushe dthe man away from me glaring at his form ive gotten used to it tho, ive seen becks illusions those definetly take a number on you

"kid its me dad? tony? i cant believe in going to say this mr.stark?" i furrowed my eyebrows at that

"no your supposed to be dead like what 8 months ago? um mr.fury is this a clone? as in an ai to help me cope? its very nice of you but ... id have to deny, mabye hand it to pep she needs it she misses him "i swallowed lump down my thoat ... but i need him so so so much- i put that thought in the back of my mind thats-thats just selfish

"parker i can assure you that that is no clone thats you father" at that i froze turning around because what did he just say?

"wait how do you-"

"8 months ago stark was sent in a coma one for 5 weeks before he woke up, we would have contacted you if it was necessary but, at the time we didnt notice it, it was stated that you where his 'adoptive son' at the age of 7 unknown to of course, well the media so we dismissed it, contacting blood-relatives. that was our top priority, that is until a week ago, stark told us you where biologically related to him "i turned my head from fury to look at tony

"so your my dad? ''

"yeah kid"

"aha ...." i nodded unable to comprehend the fact that dad was standing there clearly alive

"kid?"

"nope" i backed away from him tripping on my feet landing behind a desk holding myself steady with a weird metalic thing behind me

"kid just-"

"no, what the f * ck tony? are you serious 8 months ?! you wouldnt even bother telling me ?! do you- do you even realize the mess i was in? do you even f * cking realize that my identity was almost leaked? that i wouldnt talk to anyone? that my safe place was gone? that my ancher was not there anymore? " i gripped the metalic thing tighter filled with anger im surprised it didnt break ... or bent

"kid it was to keep you safe"

"keepy-keep me safe are you-are you kidding me right now ?! are you kidding me anthony did you keep pepper safe?" he flinched at the name good

"you where with bruce-" and that i huffed

"ha! uncle bruce dad seriously? thats your excuse? god how did you-did you even care did you ever care about me? or was it just all a trick? huh? was it all so you could just take care of me then sell me online somewhere? " i heaved what if-what if my grip tighted harder on the metalic thing

"kid you know i would never! -"

'' oh would you never god this is exactley why i never called you f * cking dad till i was 11 just to test the waters just to make sure-was i even your son this etire time? or was it you who left me in the park to be taken away by the parkers? was this all part of your grad scheme di dyou even want me? ''

"kid of course i-"

"No you didnt ha! No you didnt if you wanted me then you would have stayed you wouldnt have waited 8 months to tell me! You wouldnt have taken 3 f * cking years to find me! '' By i was basically crying my eyes out and the man looked heart broken by every word i was saying deep down i know he has a reasonable explanation but right now i couldn give myself to care because a dead man that ive greived that i missed, that i thought i killed was staring right at me with sadness in his eyes i dismissed the last thought

"kid pete ... peter im your dad of course id-"

"well thats the f * cking core of the problem isn't it? did you ever think for one god damn moment what will this do to me huh? nothing? not one single thought? god this would be so much easier if you wherent my dad i wish it where true "

the last thing i saw was his tear streamed face before i turned and widened my eyes looking at was i was clutching the gauntlet ... thanos's gauntlet before everything turned white

present

"so how did you end up here? whats a kid like you doing in the streets? i highly doubt it was because of a barn door" i looked up at that

"right right let me go back to the point so the barn door was open and-" at that moment i heard a crash across the hallway, shit! right the guys i forgot to pay them back

"ah well thats my que to leave" i grabbed my bag from the counter of the bar and handed the waiter a tip, he deserved it, im still shocked that they let under-agaed boys drink here, ha! and here i thought my first drink would be with my dad , or in a bachlour party man i thought wrong

"what?! you didnt even the story!"
