Sitting in a black four-door SUV, Natasha drives Peter and Tony to a nearby Mcdonald's. While they drove, many people caught a glimpse of Spider-Man in the backseat, but that wasn't all they saw.

Sitting in the front seat was Tony Stark, the man that's been missing for three months and was long thought to be deceased by this point in time.

Short and blurry videos and pictures were posted on social media, causing millions of people around the world to wonder if this was a hoax or not.

Peter's ghost phone was blowing up with notifications, everyone wanted to know if the videos were real or not.

"Can't you mute that thing?" Tony asks as he shoves a wad of salty Mcdonald's fries into his mouth.

"Sorry, Twitter is freaking out about us. Some people we passed earlier must have taken pictures or videos." Peter says as he muted his phone.

"Twitter?" Tony mutters after slurping on a chocolate milkshake. "Spider-Man has a Twitter account?"

"He has even been on the Oprah Winfrey Show." Natasha says, rolling her eyes at Peter through the rear view mirror.

"Oprah?! I haven't even been on Oprah..." Tony says incredulously.

"I guess you're just not as famous as me?" Peter says, knowing he's provoking Tony's ego.

"..." Tony stopped eating and turned towards Peter. "It's on."

"What's on?" Peter asked questioningly.

"I think he took that as a challenge." Natasha clarifies and Tony nods his head alongside her.

"Well, good luck." Peter says as he whips out his phone and shows Tony his follower and subscriber counts.

"Holy sh*t!" Tony exclaims as he reads numbers in the hundreds of millions.

"Like I said, good luck."

After Tony finished eating, he borrowed Natasha's phone and made a few phone calls. Soon enough, a black-tinted car arrived to pick him up.

"I have some business to take care of." Tony says as he turns to Peter. "You want to tag along, Web-Head?"

"No, I have to get home." Peter refuses with a shake of his head. "Though, I'll come to visit you. Are you returning to Los Angeles?"

"Yeah, I have to get back to the company Headquarters." Tony nods.

"Alright, I'll visit you tomorrow." Peter says as he shoots a web at a nearby building and tugs, launching off into the distance.

"I was hoping he would give me a lift home..." Tony sighs dejectedly as he waves at Natasha and hops into the car, leaving her there.

*ring ring ring*

"Romanoff?" Natasha answers the phone.

"We got the images back, he's using..." Fury says but Natasha stops him.

"Portals, I know." She says with a bit of sass in her voice.

Stepping through a portal into the Stark mansion in Los Angeles, Peter enters Tony's workshop and sees Pepper Pots standing over Tony, who is shirtless on a reclined chair. There's a hole in his chest and the arc reactor is on a nearby table. Pepper's fingers are all up inside Tony's chest hole, reaching for something.

[Insert picture of MCU Pepper Potts here]

"Okay, now make sure that when you pull it out, that you don't..." Tony tries to explain something, but Pepper pulls out a wire with a magnet attached causing some nearby medical equipment to start beeping. "There's a magnet at the end of it! That was it. You just pulled it out!"

"Oh, God!" Pepper starts to panic.

"Okay, I was not expecting that..." Tony mutters.

"Okay, what do I do?" Pepper asks as she tries to put the magnet back inside Tony's chest hole.

"Don't put it back in! Don't put it back in!" Tony stops her.

"What's wrong?" Pepper asks.

"Nothing, I'm just going into cardiac arrest..." Tony says.

"Can I lend a hand?" Peter makes his presence known, scaring Pepper with his sudden appearance.

"Ahh! Web-Head. Perfect timing." Tony says as he waves Peter over. "You say you're a nerd, right? Help me out."

Pepper immediately steps away in shock as Spider-Man takes her place and begins fixing whatever she did. Tony walks him through it and in no time a brand new magnet and arc reactor are in place.

"Oh, that's so much better." Tony says as the shrapnel in his chest is no longer making its way towards his heart. "Thanks, Web-Head. I owe you one."

"You owe me two." Peter holds up two fingers. "I also saved you from a desert."

"Sir, if this is a good time, I believe I require a diagnostics check. The cameras seem to be malfunctioning." Jarvis speaks through the speakers in the room.

"How so?" Tony asks as he rolls his chair toward a nearby computer.

"You are talking to somebody that I can't see. I can hear his voice through the microphones in the house, yet he's invisible to the cameras." Jarvis explains.

"Oh, sorry. Let me fix that for you." Peter says and turns off his camera protection.

Instantly, Tony saw Spider-Man appear on a nearby surveillance monitor, and Jarvis could see him as clear as day.

"That's a neat bit of technology." Tony nods in approval.

"It's not." Peter answers cryptically as he turns to a very confused Pepper Pots.

"Hello, I'm Spider-Man. Sorry for the late introduction." Peter says as he holds his hand forward.

"P-Pepper." She says and shakes Peter's hand.

"Sorry for dropping in without permission, but I saw the press conference and thought I'd come over. Well, that's only half truthful. My girlfriend was watching too and wanted to know how those terrorists got your weapons. Though I have to say, I'm curious as well." Peter says as he turns back to Tony.

"I haven't had time to look into it yet. Want to team up and figure it out, Web-Head?" Tony asks excitedly. "It'll be like a comic book team up."

"Except you aren't a superhero..." Peter says and Tony's eyes brighten as if a light bulb went off in his head.

"I could be..." Tony mutters lowly.

Only Peter could hear what Tony said, and a smile instantly formed on his face.

'Did I just help Tony Stark decide to officially become Ironman?'
