<span style="font-family: 'Book Antiqua'"><span class="fixed-color" style="color:#99ff99">Tony blew out a relieved breath that Bruce didn't intend to fight him over Peter -- or leave him for it.  "God, it's no wonder you're my favorite."  The immediate agreement and understanding relaxed Tony, made it easier for him to focus on what else needed to be done.  "I have no idea about a funeral, but I'll keep it in mind.  And... and thanks, Bruce."  It was unusual for him to be so sincere, and to use Bruce's name instead of a nickname.  "I'll let you know when I know more."<br/>
<br/>
He hung up with Bruce as he landed the suit on the hospital's roof -- though out of the way of the helipad.  He was an arrogant playboy -- but he wasn't going to interfere with the emergency operations of a medivac chopper.  He had no idea where in the hospital Peter would be, but figured the ER was a safe place to start.  Even in the jeans and stained wife-beater tank he'd been wearing in the shop, Tony was recognized almost immediately -- but he ignored the goggle-eyed stares and headed straight for the nurses station.  "Hey, hi."  He caught the attention of the charge nurse and gave her a charming smile -- the one he usually reserved for the press.  "I'm looking for a kid, a teenager, named Peter.  Came in with his aunt and she... anyway, he called me.  Can you send me his way?"<br/>
<br/>
As soon as he had a direction, Tony beat feet towards his favorite spider -- and though he normally eschewed physical contact, particularly in public, did not hesitate at all to tug the boy into a hug.  "Hey, Petey, I'm here."  He wanted to say it would all be okay, but he knew that was a lie.  "I'm here, kid.  God, I'm so sorry, Peter.  What happened?"  He wrapped both arms around Peter, and though the boy was nearly as tall as he was, encouraged the boy to tuck his head under Tony's chin.  "Are you hurt?  You alright?  Do I need to get Bruce to take a look at you?"  Whenever possible, the 'supers' among them deferred medical exams to Bruce -- to keep their enhancements from being noticed by general medical personnel.</span></span>
