Peter was silent as Tony tried to reassure him. He didn’t like any of the options. Didn’t appeals take a lot of time? Even if it worked, he’d still have to go away for a while. He'd feel better with JARVIS and KAREN there, and knowing someone was close by, but it'd be awful. Last night proved how much he needed Tony there. If he hadn't come running and stayed the night with him, he probably either would have been awake the rest or the night or it'd have been more nightmares. And as long as he could stay there, he could at least pretend like nothing was wrong. He could pretend like he was just staying over for a few days, but May was waiting for him back at the apartment. He also didn't want that lady to lose her job because of him. That just wasn't an option to him. He reluctantly lifted his gaze at Tony's request, meeting his brown eyes with his own. He tried to smile, to show Tony he was alright, but he didn't know how successful he was. "Yeah, I trust you." He really did. If Tony said he'd take care of him, he would. Peter didn't doubt it. He was just nervous about any bumps along the way. He closed his eyes as he was pulled into a hug, relaxing in Tony's arms. "Thanks, Tones. I'm alright, I'm just nervous I guess."<br/><br/>Bruce walked on ahead, sensing that they needed a moment. Peter was so fragile, it felt like he'd fall apart at the slightest breeze. But Bruce was confident he'd recover. He had people that cared about him, and especially Tony and Natasha would help him through it. He was a strong kid. As he entered the room he could see the social worker already there. Despite the early hour, she looked like she had been working for a while already. There were bags underneath her eyes, her slightly greasy hair was in a messy bun, and her clothes were rumpled. Bruce guessed she had been working all night. He approached her with a smile, holding out his hand for her to shake. "Hello, ms Anderson. I'm Bruce Banner, Tony's partner. It's nice to meet you." He gestured towards the chairs. "Please, sit down. Peter and Tony are on their way."
