One possible reason could be a misunderstanding. Maybe Peter overheard something Tony said and misinterpreted it as a sign of mistrust or dislike. For example, if Tony was talking to another character about Peter's abilities in a way that Peter thought was critical rather than constructive.
Another reason might be for Peter's own growth. He could feel that he's become too reliant on Tony and needs to find his own path. He might think that by cutting off contact, he can prove to himself and others that he can stand on his own two feet and make decisions independently without Tony's influence.
Eventually, there could be a reconciliation. After experiencing life without each other, they both come to realize how much they mean to one another. It could be a slow process, starting with small interactions like accidentally running into each other and gradually rebuilding their relationship. However, in some versions, the cut - off could be permanent, leading to a completely different path for both characters where they grow apart forever.
In this fanfiction, it could be that Peter is injured while doing some superhero stuff. Since Tony is his emergency contact, he takes Peter back to the Stark Tower. There, he uses all the advanced medical equipment to treat Peter. Meanwhile, they might have some heart - to - heart conversations about Peter's role as a superhero and how to be more careful in the future.
It could develop through shared experiences. Every time Peter calls Tony as his emergency contact, they face a new challenge together. For example, if Peter gets trapped in a collapsing building, Tony rescues him. During these situations, they learn more about each other's strengths and weaknesses, which in turn makes their relationship stronger. They start to rely on each other more, not just as superhero and mentor, but also as friends.
It could be that Peter was in a hurry and didn't have time to talk. He might have been in the middle of something important in his own life, like dealing with school or helping a friend, and just had to end the call abruptly.
One possible reason could be jealousy. Maybe Peter has some natural talent or ability that Tony wishes he had, and this makes him mean. For example, if Peter is really good at something like coming up with innovative ideas quickly, and Tony, who is used to being the smartest in the room, feels threatened.
Maybe Peter discovers that Tony has been keeping secrets from him that directly affect his life or safety. For example, if Tony has been secretly monitoring Peter without his knowledge, Peter might feel betrayed and cut ties.
It could also be due to external pressure. The media or some powerful figures in the fanfiction world might force Tony to stay away from Peter. They could spread false rumors about their relationship or use their influence to separate them for their own gain.
One possible reason could be that Tony sees a lot of potential in Peter. In the original story, Peter has great powers and a good heart. The fanfiction might explore different scenarios of their relationship, like a mentor - mentee relationship in more depth. Tony might be interested in how fans envision their interactions and the growth of Peter under his influence.
One possible reason could be that Tony Stark is being overly critical of Peter's superhero work. Maybe Peter made a big mistake during a mission, and Tony's harsh words in his attempt to correct Peter made him cry. For example, if Peter accidentally put civilians in danger and Tony scolded him severely.
Another reason could be jealousy. In some fanfictions, Tony might be jealous of Peter's natural abilities and the way he is so quickly embraced by the public. Peter, in turn, could be envious of Tony's resources and experience. These emotions can fuel arguments between them. Their relationship is complex and full of potential sources of conflict like this.
