Another Spiderson/Irondad Thought
Tony overhears Peter telling Ned after school one day that Captain America is Peter's favorite Avenger. Tony gets super confused and upset and starts worrying about it. He starts talking up Ironman whenever he can and starts helping Peter on patrol as Ironman and it is slowly driving Tony crazy that he isn't his kids favorite superhero. Peter notices Tony trying to hang out with him as Ironman more than as Tony. Peter is upset about Tony's sudden change of character, wondering if Tony decided that Peter just wasn't good enough and if Tony would rather be around Spiderman than Peter. Steve notices Peter sulking one day. Steve asks Peter to hang out with him for a day and eventually gets Peter to tell him what is going on. Steve tells him to just confront Tony about it and they both walk back to the tower laughing as they share stories about some of the things Tony has done. Peter gives Steve a hug and thanks him for helping him when Tony walks in and then proceeds to turn around and storm off. Peter follows him and takes Steve's advice. Peter asks Tony what happened and asks him if they could just hang out as Peter and Tony instead of Spiderman and Ironman again and Tony gets super upset and says something like "What's the point? I'm pretty sure Peter Parker would rather hang out with Captain America anyway.." and Tony explains that he heard Peter tell Ned that Captain America was his favorite Avenger and how he knows that Peter spent the whole day with Steve today. Peter quickly clears it up, explaining that Tony misheard him and that Steve was just giving him advice on how to talk to Tony and tells Tony that he was worried that maybe Tony just didn't think Peter Parker was cool enough to hang out with. Tony tells him that he is an amazing kid and Peter gives Tony a big hug and tells him that Tony Stark is his real favorite Avenger.
