Peter's eyes widened in surprise at hearing Tony call him 'his kid'. Did Tony really see him as his kid? He really hoped so. He hoped he wasn't the only one who saw the other as family. Tony filled that hole that had been left behind when uncle Ben died. He had become a role model, someone to guide him and make sure he didn't do anything too crazy. He was everything a dad was supposed to be. Peter had thought he was alone in thinking that, but maybe Tony felt the same way. He couldn't hold back a small smile. He decided not to mention it. He had a feeling Tony hadn't meant to say it out loud.<br/><br/>"I do keep in touch with someone though. I'm usually talking with Ned. He keeps me entertained when there's nothing to do, and he listens to the police radio for me." Peter knew it was all stuff KAREN could do, but Ned wanted to help so badly. He was so excited at the thought of helping Spiderman that Peter didn't have the heart to turn him down. Besides, it was fun to talk to him while he was swinging around Queens. His smile grew. "He calls himself my guy in the chair. He may not be able to help if I'm in over my head, but I've given him your number in case of an emergency." Luckily they haven't had to use it yet. The worst situation he had ever been in was with Toomes, and back then he didn't have KAREN so he couldn't stay in touch with Ned while he was fighting. Not just that, but he and Tony hadn't exactly been talking back then. That wasn't to say Peter didn't think he would show up if Ned had called him, asking for help. It was more Peter that had been too stubborn. He had wanted to prove he was right, and he wanted to fix it on his own. Show Tony that he was strong enough. It had worked out in the end, though it had taken him a few days to recover from his wounds. Nothing since then had come close to that, so there had been no need yet for Ned to need to call Tony. But it was still good to have it as a backup, just in case Peter was in too much trouble to ask for help himself.
