Hope and Other Dangerous Ideas

https://archiveofourown.org/works/87088506 by Cdelphiki The Enhanced Registration Act passed months ago, pushed through congress immediately after the Accords. Tony never agreed to a registration act, but thus far it hadn’t affected his life much. The Avengers were done, and keeping enhanced people at arm’s length made it easier to ignore. Then a chance encounter with a dodgy teenager changed everything. Peter Parker was suspicious as hell, snarky, and the most brilliant child Tony had ever met. When Tony discovers he’s also Spider-Man, everything about him suddenly makes sense. Like why a fifteen-year-old boy genuinely believes he doesn’t have a future outside a government facility. For Peter, it wasn’t a matter of if SHIELD would catch him, but when. Tony had never been great at following rules or listening to the government, so it was the easiest decision of his life to put himself on Peter’s side. Now he just has to keep the kid out of SHIELD’s hands long enough to fix the damn law.
