Tony Stark was dying.
The palladium poisoning was getting worse by the day, and no amount of chlorophyll sludge, whiskey, or denial was going to fix it.
Then New York called to inform him that his biological son’s guardians had died unexpectedly, leaving Tony with temporary emergency custody of a fourteen-year-old kid who very clearly wanted nothing to do with him.
There was a reason Tony never wanted to be a father.

Or a ‘Peter is Tony’s biological kid’ fic set during Iron Man 2. Tony is self-destructing and hurting Peter in the meantime. Happy’s there to snap him out of it.
