Tony learning from his previous suits’ failures/shortcomings.

Iron Man 3: YEET

If you’re nothing without this suit, then you shouldn’t have it.

but abandonment? 

Abandonment was Tony’s origin story, but rising from the ashes is something he’s always been good at 

A couple more shots of the Science Bros hug have surfaced. I can’t handle the look on Bruce’s face.

Every year, Hollywood is looking for that new, white leading man and new white starlet that audiences fall in love with. But they’re not looking for the next Denzel Washington, Will Smith or Sidney Poitier.

Tony Stark + anxiety 

Tony decides to intervene, mostly out of curiosity and also because the blueberries are nowhere to be found and Happy needs to be busy buying more blueberries. “Go buy me blueberries,” Tony says, as he steps around the corner.  "I’ll deal with the kid.“Happy looks instantly smug, and Peter suddenly looks a lot less sure as Happy turns on his heel and disappears down the hall.“No, you don’t have to do that, Dr. Stark.  It’s– I know you’re busy,” Peter says.  "It’s not really that important.“Tony knows a lie when he hears one.  Peter’s lying his ass off.“Yeah, I am busy,” Tony agrees.  "Which is why you should use this time wisely and fess up quickly.  What’s the help?““I can’t go on the Academic Decathlon’s trip to Europe unless a parent or guardian is at the information meeting and Aunt May’s gonna be in Chicago that day and I know if I tell her about it, she’ll skip going to Chicago because she always wants to make things work for me, but it’s been forever since she did anything for herself so I feel bad and Happy is….  you know… kind of a guardian.  If he says yes, Aunt May can sign a form and he can go to the Parent’s Meeting in her place.”Tony pulls out his phone.  "When’s the meeting.““Next Tuesday,” Peter says slowly.“Tuesday is 24 hours long.  I’m going to need you to be more specific.”“It’s from 3 to 4 in the school library.”Tony taps on his phone a few times and then pockets it.  "I’ll be there.““You don’t have somewhere more important to be?” Peter asks in surprise.Tony shrugs.  "Congressman Heath is an asshole.  He and his house committee can deal.“Peter’s eyes grow comically wide. “Okay.  But if you can’t go… It’s not like Europe is that big a deal.  I mean, I’ve been there, right?  At least for a day.”Tony’s got years of experience keeping his emotions off his face but he can’t quite keep the momentary pain of that day and that memory from causing a falter in his smile.“We’ll get you back there,” Tony says simply.  "Pepper will call Aunt May.  If she’ll sign the form, I’ll be there.“And that’s that.*Tony didn’t go to Midtown for High School, so he’s never been inside.  FRIDAY’s got the blueprints so it’ll be a cinch to find the library, but what Tony’s not expecting is to be greeted by a picture of Howard first damn thing.  Good old dad.And even if it would probably give Freud a field day, there’s no one around, so Tony can’t help but address him.“You see this?” Tony asks quietly.  "I’m going to a Parent’s Meeting.  I may be nobody’s idea of a decent father figure but Parker wants needed me, and I give enough damns to get my ass over here and into a seat because he asked.“The portrait says nothing of course.  Just stares at Tony, unseeing and uncaring.  So basically a perfect imitation of Howard."I will never. be. you.”It doesn’t matter that Tony’s talking only to himself.  It still feels good to turn his back on the portrait and walk away.  Like somehow, in some way, this is an argument with Howard that Tony has won. Peter’s waiting for him in the library along with a group of students and parents. Peter’s face lights up like it’s Christmas morning as he jumps to his feet to rush to Tony.  “Surprised?” Tony asks Peter.“No. I knew you’d come,” Peter says.  "I mean– I was kind of wondering if it’d really be you or just like a live model decoy or something, but I knew if you said you’d be here, you’d make it happen.  You weren’t going to leave me hanging.“Suck it Howard."I’m the real deal,” Tony assures Peter as they take two empty seats. They aren’t alone for more than a second before a kid, about Peter’s age, moves to stand right in front of Tony.“If the Stark Internship is serious about SI’s future, I could blow Peter out of the water any day,” the young man says.“Yeah, except at manners,” a young woman, two seats over retorts, without looking up from her book.  "And academics.“"OH MY GOD IT’S TONY STARK!” a third boy shouts from the door, but this one Tony recognizes.“Ned, right?” Tony asks.“TONY STARK KNOWS MY NAME!” he enthuses to the woman to his right, who from by her dark hair and eyes is definitely Ned’s mom.“I’m going to say it’s a hard pass on your offer,” Tony says to the first, rude kid.  "Though you might want to try Hammer.  You’d fit right in.  You,“ Tony says, pointing to the girl in the chair with the book.  "You I like.  If you’re ever interested in an internship at SI, let Peter know.  He can get you the application.”The girl gave a small smirk and a nod, and Tony nods in return.Ned’s about to speak up when a teacher walks in.  The meeting begins.  About 20 minutes in, Tony makes a mental note to upgrade this library and especially these chairs.  At the 50 minute mark, Tony’s ready to offer to pay every student’s way if they can stop talking about bake sales.  At the hour mark, they’re finally finished.He’s still going to upgrade the library and he’s definitely going to have SI sponsor the trip, but that’s all work for later.  He’s not here to show off.  He’s here for Peter, and Peter is still smiling from ear to ear.“School’s out?” Tony asks.Peter nods.“You want to go get some cookie dough?”  Tony follows up.Peter’s response is about as enthusiastic as a kid can get.  "Yes!“"Ned, you coming?” Tony asks.And that seals the deal.  Tony might not be Parent of the Year.  Hell, he’s not even a parent.  But for two teenage boys on a warm afternoon in September, Tony’s as good as it gets.
