Hilariously (stupidly), he's not worried they're gonna worry — he doesn't feel like he'd be someone the Starks would worry about. They're not super, super close, right? If anything, he might just be That Kid who Tony built a suit for, and has to keep an eye on for collateral damage.
He just doesn't want to annoy them, that's for sure.
Peter sucks in a little breath, glancing away from the screen with what is probably guilt — he really shouldn't have bolted like that. It was a fight or flight reaction that got tipped right into flight when he realized his powers were completely sapped. He was just anxious, fleeing Peter all over again. That nerd with the big glasses who avoided trouble and kept his nose down.
It was a mistake, he thinks, to have let that get to him.
But he is smart enough to also recognize if it were someone else, he would have told them it was smart to get out of there. His voice is a little quieter, strained, though the collar doesn't help with that.]
... I know. I just — people are going missing, and I had a chance to do something. I didn't think it through under pressure.
