Superfamily One Shots

The Tantrum

**Request by galaxy_404 where Karen gives Tony hell for what he did to Peter. Takes place during the Homecoming plot, you'll pick up the time line pretty quick. I know this is a 2 parter, I promise part 2 is coming soon! Enjoy :)**

Tony ran a hand over his stubble as he collapsed into his desk chair. The spidersuit he'd just taken away from Peter was thrown over the desk, the arm hanging over the side of the desk. Tony fingered over the hem of the arm, debating what he had just done.

He has to learn his lesson, the billionaire thought. This will be good for him.

Despite his determination that he;d made the right choice, Tony couldn't help the little voice in his head saying this was a mistake. That Peter would get himself into trouble regardless of if he had the suit or not.

"It doesn't matter now, it's done," Tony mumbled to himself. He turned his attention to the coding up on the computer, looking for a particular bug. It was supposed to be a code for Peter's suit, actually, but given recent events, Tony was going to tweak it and make it for his own.

Brown eyes scanned over the code quickly, searching for what could possibly have gone wrong. Suddenly, right there in the middle of the code, were the words I'm a big dummy.

Tony scowled. Who the hell...

The only other people with access to his lab were Pepper, Bruce, Rhodey, and Peter. Well, Peter didn't have access anymore. Water flooded the billionaires eyes and he blinked back brief tears. It was just some kid, some spider-powered kid from Queens. Nothing to get emotional over.

Peter rolled over in his bed, tangling the sheets around his legs. His eyes were red from crying, and he sniffled unhappily. He heard a small knock at the door, undoubtedly his aunt, and he grunted in reply. He just couldn't stand to talk to anyone right now.

The door opened softly, so Peter turned quickly, a pillow in hand to throw at the door, but found his friend, Ned, instead. 

"Hey, man," the teen said, closing the door behind him. "May called and said you were pretty torn up."

Peter huffed. "Of course she did. Because I can't take care of myself. Ever." He rolled over in his bed, away from his friend, and pulled his blankets up around his ears.

"Dude, what happened?"

"Msr St-k t-k... Karen!" Peter mumbled into his sheets, Ned barely making out the words.

"Mister Stark took... Karen?"

"My suit. But, yeah. Karen."

Ned sat down on his friend's bed, a small smile pulling at his mouth. It was no secret that Ned and Peter had changed some of Karen's coding, but Ned had anticipated something like this. Well, not Mister Stark taking the suit, but Karen being taken from Peter.

"I'm sure it'll be okay, Peter," Ned assured his friend, rubbing his hand over Peter's back. "I have a feeling Karen can take care of herself."

Tony dodged another wrench as Dum-E grabbed another and got ready to throw it. "What are you doing, you hunk of junk?!"

The billionaire jumped away from the workshop, frantically trying to hide under his desk. After hours of working with code that kept showing random lines of text, having the Ironsuit go kaput, and having his car crash itself into the garage wall, he was downright terrified of his technology.
