In the main universe of the MCU, Aunt May's expression shifted drastically. She had always known that her little nephew, Peter Parker, was destined to become Spider-Man, but right now, he was only ten years old—several years away from the events playing out on The Screen.
And yet, The Screen had just exposed his identity to the world.
How was she supposed to protect him now?
Adding to her confusion was an even bigger revelation—Tony Stark was being referred to as Peter's father.
That didn't make any sense. Aunt May knew for certain that Peter Parker was not Tony Stark's biological son.
She was well aware of Iron Man's reputation. But how did Tony factor into Peter's future? Could it be that, in the years to come, Tony somehow took Peter under his wing? Had he adopted him? Or had he become Peter's godfather?
For a moment, Aunt May felt overwhelmed, a storm of questions swirling in her mind.
["Tony Stark and Spider-Man Peter Parker have shared an unbreakable bond for a long time. The first time Tony saw Spider-Man was at the Stark Expo."]
[As the narration finished, the screen shifted to reveal a little boy wearing an Iron Man mask, holding a toy repulsor cannon in his tiny hands. He bravely stood his ground as an Iron Soldier landed before him, scanning him before pointing its weapon at the child.]
[Before the situation could escalate, Iron Man soared onto the scene, landing right beside the boy. Without hesitation, Tony blasted the Iron Soldier away with a single, precise repulsor shot.]
["Well done, kid," Tony praised him before flying off, leaving the little boy watching in awe.]
"Wait… WHAT?!" Tony Stark's eyes widened in shock. "That kid was Peter Parker?!"
He turned to look at Pepper, completely stunned.
Pepper took several deep breaths, trying to contain her emotions. "Tony…" she said, already sensing the trouble ahead.
"Aunt May! That's me!" Little Peter Parker pointed at the screen excitedly, practically bouncing on his feet. "I met Iron Man! I met Iron Man!"
Aunt May, however, wasn't sharing in his excitement. Her expression remained tense as she muttered, "Great. Just great. Big trouble."
Her instincts, screamed that this revelation would bring nothing but problems.
Meanwhile, Tony's mind was racing. "Jarvis, find this kid for me!"
Realizing that Pepper was still beside him, he quickly cleared his throat, forcing himself to calm down. "I mean… Jarvis, run a discreet background check."
Across the world, countless organizations had begun investigating the identity of the future Spider-Man.
However, the one who reacted the fastest was none other than Nick Fury.
He had already gathered all necessary information.
By the time the little boy's age was confirmed, Fury knew exactly who he was. However, after a moment of contemplation, he decided to inform Tony Stark first.
While he had originally planned to recruit Spider-Man into his ranks, The Screen had just declared Tony as his father. That changed everything.
Nick Fury had thoroughly investigated Peter Parker's history—his parents, their past, even the hospital where Mary Parker had given birth to him.
When Tony ordered Jarvis to look into the matter, he was immediately forwarded the classified information sent by Nick Fury.
Without hesitation, Tony suited up and took off for Queens.
["The first time Tony met the grown-up Spider-Man was right before the Avengers' Civil War. In need of reinforcements, Tony turned to a certain friendly neighborhood hero."]
[A young man with a backpack and a laptop stepped out of an elevator. He reached into his pocket, pulled out his key, and unlocked the door to his apartment.]
[Completely unaware of the unexpected guest inside, he called out casually, "Hey, Aunt May!" before setting his bag down on the table.]
["Did school go well today?" Aunt May's voice came from the kitchen.]
["Not bad! Oh, there's a really fancy car parked outside—" Before he could finish his sentence, he turned his head—and froze.]
[Sitting comfortably on the sofa, halfway through eating a cookie, was none other than Tony Stark.]
["Oh! Mr. Parker!" Tony greeted him with a smile.]
["Ah…" Peter blinked in shock, slowly pulling his earbuds from his ears. He pointed at Tony, mouth hanging open. "What… what are you doing here?!"]
[He was completely overwhelmed. Tony Stark—his idol—was sitting in his living room.]
["I'm Tony," Stark said smoothly, looking completely unbothered.]
["I— I know who you are! But—what are you doing here?"]
["It's time we meet," Tony said casually, taking another bite of his cookie. "Did you get my email?"]
[Peter's brain struggled to keep up. "Did I… get it?" He scratched his head. "Yeah… I think?"]
[He clearly had no idea what email Tony was talking about, but Aunt May didn't know that. She turned to him, curious. "You didn't tell me anything about an email."]
[Peter forced a laugh. "Oh, well… I just… wanted to surprise you!"]
["Surprise me?" Aunt May raised an eyebrow. "What kind of surprise?"]
[Tony smirked. "Let me clear things up. September Foundation Fund."]
[Peter, still completely lost, quickly nodded along. "Right! That fund!"]
["You applied," Tony continued smoothly. "And I approved it. So, it's settled."]
[Aunt May, still surprised, glanced between them. "You never told me about this fund."]
["I just… you know, you like surprises! So, I was waiting for the right time to tell you!"] Peter said nervously. Then he frowned. "Wait, what exactly did I apply for?"]
["That's what I'm here to explain," Tony said, crossing his arms.]
[Peter still looked completely confused, but Tony ignored him. Instead, he turned to Aunt May and flashed one of his signature smirks. "By the way, you… are a very young-looking Aunt."]
[Peter groaned, burying his face in his hands. "Oh my god, please stop."]
[Aunt May, a little embarrassed, waved him off. "Oh, stop it."]
[Tony grabbed another cookie. "These are really good. Did you make them?"]
[Peter, now completely fed up, snapped, "Could you focus for a second?!"]
[Tony glanced at him. "What?"]
["Is this fund about money?" Peter asked skeptically.]
["Obviously," Tony replied. "Come on, kid, look at who you're talking to."]
[Peter's eyes widened. "Wow."]
[Tony grinned and leaned back. "Now, let's talk privately."]
[Aunt May raised an eyebrow but nodded. "Go ahead. Take your time."]
