Chapter 2: "Better tell Aunt Hottie I'm taking you on a field trip." (Captain America: Civil War)

Chapter Text

Personally, I find Tony's extortion of Peter very creepy. What if instead of webbing Tony and succumbing to the blackmail, Peter beat Tony at his own game?

 

Peter was still trying to shake off the bad vibes of Tony locking them in Peter's bedroom together. Then Tony sat next to Peter and put a hand on Peter's shoulder. Tony asked, "You got a passport?"

Peter answered, "Uh, no. I don't even have a driver's license."

Tony nodded and asked, "You ever been to Germany?"

Peter said, "No."

Tony dropped his hand and said, "Oh, you'll love it."

Peter sat up in protest. He said, "I can't go to Germany!"

Tony stared and asked, "Why?"

So many answers crammed into Peter's head: Aunt May, keeping secret, not knowing what Tony actually wanted with him. But he said, "I got...homework."

Tony looked like he was rolling his eyes without rolling his eyes as he said, "I'm going to pretend you didn't say that."

Peter leaned forward, urgent now as he said, "I'm---I'm being serious! I can't just drop out of school!"

Tony strolled to the door as he said, "Might be a little dangerous. Better tell Aunt Hottie I'm taking you on a field trip."

Peter jumped to his feet. The urge to web Tony was strong. Instead he yelled, "You want me to WHAT?"

The door rattled as May said from the other side, "Why is this door locked? What's going on in there? Peter!"

Peter called, "Just a second, May."

The he walked over to Tony. Peter said, "This doesn't look good for you, Mr. Stark. If anything gets out about me to ANYONE, well, I'll have to mention how you tried to force a 14-year-old boy to go with you on a secret trip to Germany."

Tony stared for a moment, then said, "Shit kid, you play hard ball. Deal."

Peter shrugged and flipped the lock. As he opened the door, he smiled at May and said, "Mr. Stark was just leaving."
