    Summary

    He freezes in their kitchen entryway as Lockwood grins up at him from his chair.

    “George, this is Lucy’s mother.”

    The woman nods at him stiffly, attempting to put on a pleasant smile, but ending with something close to a grimace.

    “She can’t be here.”

    Summary

    "Wait a second. Peter, was the Stark internship just a cover for being Spider-Man?"

    Peter winces. "Yeah."

    In a masterful act of self-control, Ryland refrains from swearing once more. "Are you saying he encouraged it?"

    "No! Okay, well, just a little. But not really? I swear, Mr. Stark didn't do anything wrong!" Peter stammers. "He—"

    "I've heard enough," he says firmly, cutting him off. Internally, though, Ryland wants to scream; maybe bash his head against a wall for good measure. Of course, what happened during college would come back to bite him; of course, it would. Because why would good things ever happen to him?

    Or: Ryland Grace finds out that Peter Parker is Spider-Man. Consequently, he meets with Tony Stark for the first time in years, roughly two decades after their college hookup. This is a problem.

    Summary

    Okay, he thinks to himself. You could be mistaken. I mean, come on, there's no possible way that Peter Parker is—

    Except.

    The more he thinks about it, the more sense it makes.

    The unexplained absences. How he started falling asleep in his class when he'd been nothing but a model student beforehand. The lack of any asthma attacks for the last few months. The sudden disappearance of his glasses. The so-called Stark internship.

    Aw, dang it.

    Peter Parker is Spider-Man.
