The First Rule Of Writing Is That There Are No Rules. The Second Rule Is To Save Your Work Every 5 Minutes

Stephen had just wrapped up his last surgery. He had an opening for a few hours to finish up some paper worknsince the eight hour surgery was done in just five.

He opened the door to the office and was about to close the door when he noticed someone sleeping on the small couch. They were in scrubs, hugging one of those decorative pillows that Christine got him as a way to make his office more inviting.

Sighing, he clears his throat loudly before speaking. Startling the sleeping figure awake.

" Look, I get it. I've been there and done that. But sleep in the break room or one of the closest. Not in my office where patients come in, mister...."

" Oh! I am so sorry! Uh, Peter . Didn’t mean to fall asleep, came in, and dropped off some paperwork. But this couch was so comfy! No excuse, though. "

" Yeah. Get out."

Then Stephen started seeing the guy almost every time he worked now. Stephen would think it's stalking if it wasn't for the fact that it's HIM walking into the room and spotting this Peter guy.

Peter, who is always with a tablet or notebook. Peter talking to a wide variety of people. Peter getting coffee for the nurses at the station. Peter laughing at a bad joke that Jeff from accounting, who was trying to flirt. Who laughs at his jokes? They are horrible. Peter was too good looking and too NICE it seem to think Jeff from accounting was funny.

Finally, after a few weeks, he is sitting with Christine at a table in the cafeteria when Parker walks in to get in the lunch line.

Nodding towards Peter, he asks Christine.

" What's the deal with that guy? I keep seeing him around."

Christine turns around to see who he is speaking about.

" Oh! That's Peter. He is here because of the research grant he received. They should be starting the trails in a few weeks. Wait. - You should know this?"

Stephen frowns.

" Why should I know this?"

" Stephen! He developed the synthetic webbing that, if successful, will help with repairing nerves. You requested this grant to be approved because you think it will help you..."

Stephen stares at Christine for a moment before looking at Peter. Peter, who is actually Dr. P. Parker, who has several masters and doctorates. Peter who was laughing with the lunch lady as he opened up two extra sugar packets to put in his already sweet hot chocolate drink he ordered.

Peter, who Stephen kicked out of his office and had avoided interacting with.

" Shit"

— tw: mentions of dr*gs, alcoholi*m, reh*b

Recovering drug addict and alcoholic Tony where everyone is almost ready to give up on him (or has given up entirely) until rehab aid, Deaf and Mute, Peter Parker is assigned to him. There's no frustated shouting, harsh words of reprimand, just gentle coaxing, understanding touches. There's no judgemental eyes just soft sad doe-like ones whenever he throws up or screams in frustration. Peter stays with him. Doesn't give up on him. Along the way Tony helps him too, enrolls him to speech recovery therapy, gets him checked out for possibilities to get his hearing back. It was so easy to help Peter. And little by little, the rehab aid became a friend, then a best friend, it gradually, slowly built until Tony realizes he had fallen for Peter. Hard. And he wants to be the best man for the kid.

Slowly but surely, his rehab went better than the past years, his withdrawal lessened, his body healthier. At the same time, he builds Peter a hearing aid, and Tony will always remember the look on his face when he first heard Tony's voice. With the help of the hearing aid and speech therapy, Peter gradually starts speaking again. His first work? "Tony." And god, Tony could've died happily when that first happened.

They took care of each other. Helped each other learn and grow. Until Tony can't do it anymore and confesses. He gets the sweetest "I love you too," in return.

He ends up marrying Peter a year later after his rehab. He wins countless rewards. His paper that he worked on with Peter regarding his condition got recognized. And when he wins a Nobel Prize, he stands at the podium, looking healthier than his previous years, gold ring on his finger as he says:

"First of all, I'd like to thank my life partner Peter Stark for helping me find my voice again. If it weren't for him, I wouldn't be here— I'd probably be wearing something orange and doing a really hard time— but all thanks to him, he's given me reason to be better and be the best man to take care of him. I love you so much, Pete. Once again, My Mrs. Stark, everyone."

Mantis reminds me of aisha neopets and i think she would love them in return 🥺 💚 👽

Happy never forgets a face. Never. It's what makes him extra valuable to someone like Tony Stark. Tony Stark, who runs Stark Industries. Tony Stark, who is head of the Carbonell Italian mob; though, while there is some speculation, it's never been proven.

Happy had a system. He categorized people into color groups.

Green for these people are no bodies and didn’t touch the crime world and were safe to interact with.

Yellow for people who are some bodies but won't cauae trouble but have connections.

Red are people who have connections and could cause trouble.

Then their were Black. Those are the unknowns, and they could be as bad as the reds. People a little too clean. Or people who maybe could be someone undercover. Not enough information on them.

Before every convention, Happy makes a point to do background checks on everyone. He memorized all the photos of the people attending. Sure, maybe Friday helps break into the databases to get the photos, but he is just trying to protect Tony.

So when Happy saw Tony talking to someone, he was already going through the catalog in his mind to place the person. Catching Tony's eye, he touched his black tie to silently signal the group the person falls in. Doesn’t mean it's gonna stop Tony, but it just means he is gonna be a bit more cautious. Hopefully.

Peter Parker. 20 years old. Just finished with his masters at Columbia University in Biochemical Engineering. Mother was a scientist as well. Mary Fitzpatrick. Irish. No father listed on the birth certificate. She married another scientist 4 years later, Richard Parker. Both deceased. Plane crash. Italian Aunt and Uncle raised him. Uncle died later. Shot at a Bodega. Not their area, so not tied to them. Trained as a gymnast. Big brown eyes, wavy brown curls. Smart. Cute. Flexible. Just Tony's type.

But something nags at Happy as he watches Tony and Peter talk.

He glances around the room when he spots them.

The Winter Soldier leaned against a wall, looking around the room on the left side, looking a little too casual. At the refreshment table section was The Captain. He worked for the government but has ties to the Irish mob, though, like Tony. Couldn't be proven. He was staring at Peter and Tony with a frown, not subtle at all.

Then it hits. See, there were rumors that The Captain had a kid. Had them young before he was involved with potential mob connections. And he recalls another rumor going around that there was a small riff between The Captain and The Winter Soldier, a love interest that was not approved.

He has to get Tony away from this Peter Parker.

Peter Parker, who potentially could be the kid of The Captain Steve Grant Rogers.

Peter Parker, who potentially could be the love interest of The Winter Soldier James Buchanan Barnes

literally him

A character can be sympathetic while still being 100% wrong; this is the entire premise of many unreliable narrators.

Peter blinked and stared. But the image didn't change.

But there Bucky was. One Lego bouquet in hand for him and a different design still in the box.

" It's embarrassing on how long it took me to put this one together. Hoping you would be willing to help with the other."
