Self Harm
Suicide

Peter was in anguish. He was sitting on top of a roof looking down. He did the math in his head. The fall would surely kill him.

Which is precisely what he wanted.

He looked down at his wrists. He saw the little scars that littered his shoes. "Karen." He whispered, pulling down the sleeves of his suit. His A.I. jumped into action. "Yes Peter?" He smiled at her friendly voice. "Call To-" He frowned. "Call Mr. Stark." "Calling Tony." He heard the ringing in his ears and prayed, hoped to God he would awnser. He did. "Hi Mr. Stark. It's Peter."

Tony immediately ended the call. Just like he had everytime. May had gone, a car accident a month before he came back. But then, he woke up on Titan. Dr. Stranger was there and he used his portal thing to take him back to earth. Tony gave him the biggest hug. But after that, he was cut off. Not actually, He lives in the tower because May wasn't there anymore so He moves in. But anytime Peter called Tony or tried to go into his lab, Tony immediately ended the exchange as fast as he could. Peter knee it was the flashbacks from Titan. It went Peter's fault. But then once Peter was talking to Pepper and found out that Tony hadn't had a panic attack in a while. So it wasn't that. It had to have been something Peter did. He sat in the bathtub and started to cut. He had cut once before and knew Tony had programmed FRIDAY to tell him whenever Peter did that again.

But even after that Tony wouldn't talk to him. So Peter did it more. Peter knew it would happen eventually. Something would happen and Tony would realize how shitty he was and would dump him out. Peter despiser to save him the trouble. "Karen." "Yes Peter?" "Start a voice recording. If my heartbeat slows below 5 beats per minute send it to Pepper." "Alright Peter."

He took a shaky breath. "Hello. My name is Peter Parker. But I'm also Spider-Man. I have a good life. I live with Tony Stark. I have no money problems, I have caring friends, and a great family. Yet here I stand, on the edge of the roof, preparing to jump. It all started after the snap. When I came back, Tony started to shut me out. I knew it was flashbacks and panic attacks and all the things that I suffered from too. But every night I had nightmares of Tony sending me out to the curb and instead of reassurance, I was met with Tony blocking me out of his life harder. I tried to fill the whole in my life. I became friends with all of the other Avengers to the point they became my family. I got a girlfriend. But at nights, I would grab a small razor and cut my wrists, only to bandage them before sleep. I found out Tony hadn't even been having panic attacks anymore too. So it was just me. I know that. So I just wanted to say I'm sorry. I'm sorry for whatever I did to make you hate me again. I'm sorry Mr. Stark. ... Tony ... Dad. Karen, end the video." "Yes Peter." "Karen?" "Peter," "Thank you. Goddbye."

And Peter jumped.

Tony was sitting in the lab, a wrench in his mouth as he tinkered on his suit. "Incoming call." FRIDAY echoed. He took the wrench out of his mouth and grabbed his phone, pressing it to his ear. "Hi Mr. Stark. It's Peter," He ended the call and held back tears. Even the sound of Peter's voice gave Tony flashbacks of Titan. He kept tinkering and pushed back tears as he felt himself on Titan watching Peter crumple into dust. He was determined not to loose Peter again.

That was when Pepper came rushing in, mascara running down her face. "TONY YOU ABSOLUTE IDIOT!" He frowned. Had he missed a meeting?

"What did I do this time." "FRIDAY." "Yes Mrs. Stark?" "Okay Peter's video." Her voice cracked. Peter's voice came from the speakers. "Hello. My name is Peter Parker."
