Tony looked at Peter, remained silent for a while, then signaled the parking car behind him.

"Get in the car." He said, "I'll take you back and let's talk slowly."

Peter said nothing. He followed Tony silently into the back seat of the car, closed the door, and the car slowly started.

He did have to explain something to Stark.

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

In the end, Tony spoke first: "It's because of that little spider girl, right? She is your good friend?"

In fact, Peter didn't need to speak on his own initiative. Tony roughly guessed what his rebellious behavior was. In fact, he had long expected that innocent and pure children like Peter would find it difficult to accept their decisions. Perhaps Peter had not yet recognized what it meant when he signed the bill, but as the bill was implemented and the situation developed, he should have understood what the situation was now.

"Yes." Peter admitted, "It's because of her, but not because of her. I don't want to turn my fingers at those good people who should be our allies. It's stupid. And it's meaningless."

Tony pondered for a while and said, "Some things are complicated, you just don't understand yet."

"Thank God, I don't understand." Peter confronted him, "I don't plan to understand the future either."

Unbelievable that he was saying this to Mr. Stark, he felt like a child talking back to his father - except now he was sure that he was right.

He had always lacked such confidence before. He would do whatever Mr. Stark asked him to do. He never tried to question the correctness of the decisions made by the other party, and never thought that he would one day go against the other party.

"Who do you know who spider girl is?" Tony asked.

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

"Even if you know, you won't tell me, right?"

"I really don't know." Peter said, pausing, and then said, "but yes, I won't say even if I know."

"Then I guess, if I asked you to join the team to win those superheroes who refused to register, you would also refuse?"

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

This was what he had made up his mind to say today - to make his position to Stark. His identity is no secret to the Avengers and Aegis. He has his own life and school, and he also has Aunt May, so he can't be a wanted criminal like Captain America. But that's what he can do now, at least he can refuse to do the wrong thing.

He thought it would be difficult, but he felt relieved when he said it. He had imagined any possible consequences of his willfulness - being disqualified from the Avengers, being ordered to stop Spider-Man's activities, and even more seriously, being arrested and imprisoned as a criminal who disobeyed the bill.

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

Because he believed that he had done the right thing, at least today, the identity of Spider-Man still has meaning.

It’s just that when people live in this world, sometimes doing the right thing may cost them.

Tony looked straight into Peter's eyes, and he looked back without fear. There was no confusion in his eyes, only the kind of warrior who seemed to be on the battlefield should have determination.

Tony closed his eyes lightly.

"Well, it's a pity, but it seems I can't let you change your mind."

After a pause, Tony looked at him again, with a stereotyped tone: "But as the leader of the Avengers and the director of the Agents, I must make a decision. Unfortunately, you cannot understand the necessity of the bill. Continuing the Avengers activities with your current state of mind may have very serious consequences and very bad effects. So, I decided to go from now on, Spider-Man, a member of the Avengers."

Sure enough, it was still coming. Peter was a little nervous, but he had no regrets. He believed that no matter what the price he would pay, it would be worth it.

"Will accept a long holiday of irregular hours, no longer have to attend all Avengers' regular meetings, nor do they have to participate in any subsequent actions."

Peter was stunned.

"Mr. Stark? Are you saying you want to give me a leave?"

Tony gave him a angrily blank look: "What? Do you want me to repeat it?"

"No, just" Peter was a little dizzy.

He neither said he would be disqualified from his Avenger nor said he would be arrested. The treatment of him was just a leave of absence? Is there such a good thing?

"Then can I still be active as Spider-Man?"

Tony glanced at him sideways.

"As long as you don't make trouble, don't get involved with fugitives, and get involved in complicated matters, then you can do whatever you want," he said. "Just be a friendly neighbor."

"Mr. Stark"

Peter didn't know what to say.

Before this conversation, he had already made up his mind. He thought Mr. Stark would be very disappointed, thought he would be scolded hard, and thought the consequences would be very serious, but he had no results. The final "punishment" given to him was only an unlimited long holiday.

"Don't get me wrong. Holidays are time to reflect on you at home. Think carefully about where you are wrong and don't come back before you figure it out. And of course, don't think about getting a salary before you return to work." Tony said dryly.

Although Tony refused to say it, Peter could not understand that this was already giving him tolerance as much as he could? Even if he chose to go against Tony's intentions and go against him, Tony still couldn't bear to punish him after all.

Before I knew it, the car stopped.

"Okay, you're at the station, kid," Tony said, "It's time to get off."

Peter nodded. He opened the car door and hesitated before getting off the car.

"Thank you, Mr. Stark," he said, "you are still the one I respect most."

Tony waved his hand impatiently: "Stop talking nonsense, go home quickly. Don't let your Aunt Mei wait too long."

Peter nodded, closed the car door, and walked towards home.

As the car drove away, Tony took a deep breath.

There is one more person missing here

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

But why didn't the child even scold him when he said such willful words?

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

His cell phone rang. Tony took out his cell phone and answered the phone: "Little Chili? Didn't you say that the company's affairs are all up to you?"

"This time it's different, Tony." Little Pepper's tone was unprecedentedly serious, "It's Stark's branch, Tony, we were attacked by terrorists."
