Missing Links
The Rogues are back. Tony Stark couldn't even be mad about it—it was his idea after all. He's an Avenger, and that means protecting the Earth at any cost, even if he has to deal with a certain star-spangled man and his sullen sidekick. Compared to the worst things he's endured—the loss of his wife and the disappearance of his son 12 years ago—this would be a walk in the park. These traumas remain a deep, lingering pain within him. Bucky Barnes is back on U.S. soil as a free man, but freedom is more than just physical. On top of that, Steve is desperate for him to be the man he was before. The only problem is: that man is long dead. Peter Parker has been through the mill, but he knows he just has to adapt, roll with the (many) punches, and keep going. Spider-Man is his safe place now, the one time he can truly feel like himself and like he's making a difference. He'd make sure no one would suffer like he has, even if he has to track down the perpetrator himself. As Tony attempts to mend past mistakes and confront the trauma of his broken family, how will Peter Parker, the young hero seeking justice, form an unexpected connection of healing and love with him? In each other's wounds, can they find mutual redemption and belonging?
