[part 1] [part 2]

he’s got only about a gazillion original failsafes, including the old ones programmed into the iron man suit. over 576 webshooter combinations, an integrated training protocol, a voice modifier for ‘enhanced interrogation’, scanners for criminal databases, heartbeat sensors, heat scan sensors, a drone, a tracker, a heater, a parachute. and that’s just barely scratching the surface.

tony stark thought of everything the kid could have possibly encountered, and made a function for it. he was sure that he hadn’t missed a thing.

they’re working together and tony asks him how his suit was holding up, if it needed any repairs or anything. he’s opening the door up. and peter starts rapid-firing ideas for the suit that never even crossed tony’s mind. which is crazy. because everything crosses tony’s mind.

the kid thinks outside of the box, he applies concepts to situations in unique ways, inventive ways. he’s scrappy, even in the most top-of-the-line tech. using the given materials to come up with a solution to a hyper-specific problem on the fly.

tony will make the next suit to match that quality— intuitive.

And then he thinks about it a little more and he sees his own face in his daughters and he realizes that Morgan is him, and Peter is Steve, and he is howard, and there’s no way to break free of the cycle.

He dies praying that Morgan will forgive Peter some day, the way Tony never was able to forgive Steve.

But something primal, something other, sitting at the back of his mind, won't allow him to get rid of them. So Peter endures the fear. He always follows the spiders with his gaze and freaks out when they leave his line of sight, but he won't dare remove or kill them.

Sometimes, Grace will do it without thinking. That’s how Kiddo and Buddy got their nicknames. Often, Grace will nickname students after their coloration. Gaia got his nickname because he’s blue and green, and apparently looks a lot like Earth. Violet got hers because she’s purple. (She was initially disappointed since color means nothing to Eridians, but then Friend Grace showed them violet flowers and said that humans often associated purple with wealth and royalty, and she changed her tune.) Most of the time, Grace will give his students what he calls “regular human names” like Abby, Carl, or Martin.

But the most coveted nicknames are ones named after Earthen creatures. When ♩♪♬ 🎵 ♩♪♬ 🎵 first introduced themselves, Friend Grace immediately perked up and shouted “Robin!” After a bit of explaining himself and a few videos of bird calls, Robin was trilling and chirping happily, excited at having a nickname that felt like a 1-to-1 translation of their own.
