Tony looked at Peter, silent for a moment, and then gestured to the car parked behind him.

"Get in the car." He said, "I'll send you back, and we'll talk slowly." ”

Peter didn't say anything. He silently sat in the back seat of the car behind Tony, the door closed, and the sedan slowly started.

He did have something to explain to Stark.

The two sat down in the car, and the sedan moved slowly. For several minutes, neither of them spoke.

In the end, it was Tony who spoke first: "It's because of that little spider girl, right?" She's a good friend of yours? ”

In fact, Peter didn't need to take the initiative to speak, Tony roughly guessed what the reason for his rebellious behavior was. In fact, he had long expected that it would be difficult for an innocent and innocent child like Peter to accept their decision, maybe Peter didn't recognize what it meant when he signed the bill, but with the implementation of the bill and the development of events, he should almost understand what kind of situation it is now.

"Yes." Peter admitted, "It's because of her, but it's not just because of her." I don't want to turn the finger at those who are supposed to be our allies...... Those good people. It's stupid. And pointless. ”

Tony pondered for a long time and said, "Some things are very complicated, and you just don't understand them for the time being." ”

"Thank goodness I don't." Peter replied, "I don't plan to figure it out in the future." ”

It was hard to believe that he was saying this to Mr. Stark, and he felt like a kid who talked back to his father—except now that he was convinced that he was right.

He had never lacked that kind of self-confidence before. Whatever Mr. Stark told him to do, he did. He never tried to question the correctness of the other party's decision, and he never thought that he would one day go against the other party.

"The little spider girl...... Do you know who she is? Tony asked.

"I don't know." Peter replied dryly.

"Even if you knew, you wouldn't tell me, would you?"

"I really don't know." Peter said, pausing, and then adding, "But yes, even if I knew it, I wouldn't say it." ”

"So I guess if I asked you to go with the team and take down those superheroes who refused to sign up, you would refuse too?"

Peter thought for a moment and nodded, "Yes, I won't go." Because that's wrong, that's not Spider-Man's job. ”

That's what he's determined to say today—to make a stand to Stark. His identity is no secret to both Avengers and Aegis, he has his own life and studies, and he also has Aunt May, so he can't wear a mask and be a wanted criminal like Captain America. But that's all he can do now, at least he can refuse to do the wrong thing.

He thought it would be difficult, but the words made him feel relieved. He had previously envisioned any possible consequences of his waywardness – being disqualified as an Avenger, being ordered to stop Spider-Man's activities, or even worse, being arrested and jailed as a criminal for violating the law.

But now, he found that he didn't care.

Because he believes that he has done the right thing, at least to this day, the identity of Spider-Man still has meaning.

It's just that people live in this world, and sometimes doing the right thing is probably going to pay a price.

Tony looked Peter's eyes straight in the eye, and he looked back without fear. There was no confusion in his eyes, only the kind of resoluteness that seemed to be the kind of soldier who stepped on the battlefield.

Tony closed his eyes slightly.

"Well, it's a pity, but it looks like I can't get you to change your mind."

After a pause, Tony looked at him again, his expression was rigid and solemn: "But as the leader of the Avengers, and the director of S.H.I.E.L.D., I have to make a decision." Unfortunately, you can't understand the need for the bill, and continuing to carry out the activities of the Avengers in your current state of mind could have very serious consequences and very bad effects. So, I decided that from now on, Spider-Man, a member of the Avengers, ......"

Sure enough, it's still coming. Peter was a little nervous, but he didn't regret it. He believes that whatever it takes, it will be worth it.

“...... He will be given an indefinite period of time off, and he will no longer have to attend all the regular meetings of the Avengers, nor will he have to participate in any of the next actions. ”

Peter was stunned.

“...... Mr. Stark? You mean...... Want to give me time off? ”

Tony gave him an angry look: "What? Do you want me to repeat it? ”

"No, it's just ......" Peter was a little dazed.

There was no mention of disqualifying him as an avenger or arresting him. The treatment of him is just ...... Leave processing? Is there such a good thing?

"That'...... Can I still be active as Spider-Man? ”

Tony squinted at him.

"As long as you don't stab Lou Zi, don't mix with fugitives and get involved in some complicated things, then whatever you want." "Just be a friendly neighbor," he said. ”

"Mr. Stark......"

Peter didn't know what to say.

Before this conversation, he had already come to his senses. He thought that Mr. Stark would be very disappointed, that he would be severely reprimanded, that the consequences would be very serious...... None of the results. In the end, the "punishment" given to him was only an indefinite long vacation.

"Don't get me wrong, the holidays are for you to have time to reflect slowly at home, think about what you did wrong, and don't come back until you understand. And, of course, don't think about getting paid until you're back in work. Tony said dryly.

Although Tony would not say, where would Peter not understand that he was already doing what he could to give him tolerance? Even if he chooses to go against Tony's will and go against him, Tony is still reluctant to punish him after all.

Before I knew it, the car stopped.

"Alright, you've got the kid." Tony said, "It's time to get out of the car." ”

Peter nodded. He opened the car door, but hesitated before getting out of the car.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark." He said, "No matter what, you are still the person I respect the most." ”

Tony waved his hand impatiently: "Don't talk nonsense, hurry up and go home." Don't make Aunt Mei wait too long. ”

Peter nodded, closed the door, and headed home.

The car drove away, and Tony took a deep breath.

There's one less person on my side......

Although he never mentioned it to anyone, deep down, he still wished that this spider boy could be on his side.

But why didn't he even reprimand the boy when he said such wayward words?

I probably think that such a war should not involve children like Peter......

His phone rang. Tony took out his phone and connected it: "Pepper? Doesn't it mean that you have the final say on all the company's affairs? ”

"This time it's different, Tony." Pepper's tone was unprecedentedly serious, "It's a branch of Stark, Tony...... We were terrorized. ”
