NED LEEDS

TONY STARK

Tony was still walking on cloud nine after his wedding and subsequent weekend alone with Pepper, but Monday was a special day he wouldn’t miss for anything. It was Morgan’s birthday, a day he’d never take for granted. He couldn’t wait for the school day to end so that his family could celebrate together. However, breakfast was barely over when he logged onto the network and saw Peter’s best friend arrived in Goodland. Tony knew Peter tried to be strong for everyone else, but he knew the kid had to miss his best friend. How much had Tony missed Rhodey? How much did he still miss Bruce and Happy? Sometimes people just needed a best friend.

Tony could tell why Ned and Peter were friends the minute he and Ned started typing together; furthermore, there was no way Tony would leave the kid to figure Goodland out on his own. Peter was in school, but Tony would take care of the kid’s best friend until Peter could step in.

Ned said he was nearing the apartments so Tony agreed to meet him in the lobby. He vaguely knew what Ned looked like from when Peter showed him photos and from when he watched their matches, but he’d never met him. Still, it wasn’t hard to pick out a new kid in Ostrich’s Villa, especially when most were in school.

“Ned?” He asked. “I’m Tony.”

	Tony could just picture Ned going door to door inquiring about who needed computer help. He could also perfectly see Peter and Ned cross-legged on the floor playing with legos. "You two are perfect for each other, I think. Just like me and my Rhodey. He is my best friend." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Is your best friend a hero too?" Ned wanted that. He wanted to be a hero, he wanted to be on Peter's team, wanted to help him succeed. Ned knew that he didn't have anything going for him powers wise, the best he could hope for was that Peter would always need his computer skills. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He is," Tony replied. "He's War Machine, but, even before that..." Tony shook his head. "You don't know the trouble I'd get up to without Rhodey, kid. He has been by my side since college." He shot Ned a teasing look. "Is this where you call me old like everyone else?" He joked. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I don't have a lot of friends, but it's nice to have Peter. It's nice to have someone you can always depend on, you know?" Ned shook his head, taking another bite out of his muffin. "You're not old. My parents are like way older than you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Tony's heart went out to Ned. He never had many friends growing up either. It was difficult being so ahead of his peers. Perhaps that was partly why he rebelled so hard as a teen. However, he said none of that to Ned. He merely grinned and teased, "You are officially the favorite kid now. The only one not calling me old." (Reply to this) (Parent)
