It's all I've left of her
Hello hello and hello. I am back with another story. Hihi.
Little background info, Aunt May died 1 month ago and Peter now lives with Tony and the Avengers.
"Peter, Boss asks for your presence in the lab," FRIDAY informed Peter.
"Say to Tony that I will be there in 15."
"I will Peter."
Peter rolled out of his warm bed, already shivering with the coldness of his room. He walked into his bathroom and took a quick shower. He dressed in some sweatpants and a shirt. He slowly made his way to the labs. He was too tired to walk faster even though he just got out of bed.
"Good morning Pete," Tony said happily when Peter entered the lab. Peter stopped and watched the time on his phone.
"First of all, it's 2 P.M. And second of all, my morning wasn't good," Ever since May died Peter hasn't been quite himself. He was more irritable and not as happy as he was before. But Tony didn't say anything about it, knowing Peter was greaving.
"I wondered if you want to work with me on my suit?" Tony asks Peter.
"Wait, really?!" A little bit of excitement showed on Peter's face.
"Yes really." Tony laughed. They started working on the latest Iron Man suit.
"Peter?"
"Hmm?"
"I need your small hands. I can't quite reach this part here." Tony pointed at something as Peter crouched down. "Can you try and grab the blue wire and connect it to the green one?"
Peter nodded as he reached for the wires. He could barely grab them because of the small space. He connected the two wires.
"Can you give me the tape?" Peter asks.
"Yeah sure, where is it?"
"Besides the screwdriver."
Tony grabbed the tape, but while sliding it off the table he also knocked Peters phone off the table. The phone crashed on the ground, breaking the screen and breaking open the back.
"What was that?!" Peter turned his head towards the noise. And there he saw, his broken phone on the ground.
"Oh it was your phone, I accidentally knocked it off the table. Don't worry I will give you a new one," Tony wasn't too worried about it, but Peter was furious.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Peter screamed at Tony, grabbing the remains of his now broken phone.
"Kid, calm down. I will give you a new one."
"YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND!" Tears were streaming down his face.
"THEN EXPLAIN" Tony rarely loses his temper against Peter. Peter flinched when Tony yelled, making Tony regret it instantly.
"It's all I've left of her..." Peter says in a small voice. Tony didn't say anything, he just stood there watching how Peter broke down in more tears. "All the pictures, video's, the voice messages she would send me when she was at work. I all had it on my phone." Anger returned in Peter as he stood up, looked Tony straight in the eyes, and yelled.
"THIS IS ALL YOUR FOULT! I HATE YOU!" Peter ran out of the lab to his room. Slamming the door shut. He slid down the door, hugging his knees as he sobbed even more. All he had left of me, all gone.
"Peter?" He heard Tony ask, he was on the other side of the door.
"FRIDAY turn on noise-cancelling mode," He didn't want to talk to anyone.
~~
Tony knew he messed up big time. He followed Peter.
"Peter?" No response. "Peter please, I'm sorry."
"Boss, Peter turned on the noise-cancelling mode, he won't be able to hear you," FRIDAY informed Tony. Tony just stood there for a few seconds before walking back to the lab. He collected al the pieces and started working.
After three hours of working, Tony succeeded in transferring almost all the data of Peters broken phone.
"Let's go and do some coding." He said to himself.
~~
Peter moved to his bed, curling up in a ball under the covers.
Why did this have to happen?
It was all I had left of her, and now that's gone too.
It has been hard for Peter to move on after May died. She was his only living relative who he lived with almost his whole life. And he lost her too. When Ben died he fell into a depression, because of May he recovered quick. But now... May wasn't there to help him anymore.
Peter just laid there, staring at the closed curtains as he felt his eyelids become heavy. He was exhausted. But why, the past month he has done nothing else but spend almost his whole day in bed. His eyes closed and he fell into a restless sleep.
"You worthless piece of shit, that was the only thing I left you and you broke it!"
"Aunt May please, it was an accident."
"No excuses, it's like you don't want to remember me!"
"I do."
"Don't lie to me!"
"May, please!"
"No, you lost me now, I won't come back to you!"
Peter woke up with a gasp, tears running down his face.
"It was just a dream, just a dream."
Peter closed his eyes again to calm himself down but he didn't do a good job. He couldn't breathe, it was like someone was choking him.
"Because I am Pete." Peter looked up and saw aunt May.
"W-why?"
"This is the only way for you to see me again."
The grip tightened and Peter couldn't even gasp some air.
"N-n-no." His arms reached for May, but they went through her. "P-pl-please."
He felt even more arms around him.
"NOOOOO" He screamed. The hands released his neck but the other hands held him back.
"Peter, peter please open your eyes!" This was another voice. "Please."
"NO NONONO" He shot up, punching the hands that were holding him and finally opening his eyes. It was hard to see through the tears but he saw Bucky.
His breaths were short and fast, the tears wouldn't stop.
"Peter, calm down, it's okay." Bucky opened his arms. Peter hesitated a bit but went for a hug. Finally calming down a little bit.
"Do you want to talk about it?"Bucky asks. All Peter did was shaking his head. "Are you sure?" And again, Peter shook his head. Bucky nodded and stayed silent, still hugging Peter.
After a few minutes, the silence was broken.
"I saw my aunt May." Peter started, bucky looked at him with a sad smile. "She was angry at me for breaking my phone. I thought I woke up but then she started ch-choking me. I-it felt so-so real. I-" Peter couldn't even form his words anymore.
"Shhhh Pete, I'm here for you." Bucky hugged Peter even more. The silence returned and after 10 a few minutes Peter was back asleep. And eventually, Bucky fell asleep too.
Peter woke up feeling safe, he snuggled more into the warmth before even opening his eyes.
"Morning Pete."
"Mornin'" Peter mumbled.
"How are you feeling?"
"Meh."
"How about you go take a shower and I will make you some blueberry pancakes?"
"'kay" Peter slowly detangled him from Bucky before going into his bathroom. Bucky waited for the shower to turn on before leaving the room. Poor kid lost his last relative and now has nightmares of him. As he closed Peters bedroom door he bumped into Tony.
"Hey, Tony." Bucky said.
"What were you doing in Peters room?"
"You really didn't notice him screaming last night? He was struggling to breathe because of a nightmare, screaming his lungs out, it took me 5 minutes to even wake him up." Bucky started to get angrier by the word, this man was supposed to take care of Peter.
"I-... I was in the labs trying to fix his phone."
"OH, so his phone is more important than him having a nightmare?!"
"No, definitely not."
"Then where were you? This poor boy screaming his lungs out and you were listening to your loud music like always."
"I-"
"No! No excuses! May would be disappointed in you!" Bucky walked away before tony could even respond, he was furious.
Tony just stood there, lost in his own thoughts. He really didn't notice, he was to busy trying to fix Peters phone that he didn't try and go check on him. Tony was debating if he should go and talk to Peter or not. After a few seconds he decided not to, he retreated back into the labs, bringing Peters new modified phone with him.
Peter felt a lot better after a long hot shower, he chose some nice and fluffy clothes and walked to the kitchen where he smelled the pancakes.
"Hey, Buck."
"Hey Pete, here are your pancakes." Bucky gave Peter a plate with around 10 pancakes, Peter immediately started to eat knowing how good Buckys pancakes are.
The rest of the morning he spends with Bucky, baking. But when he tried to reach for his phone his whole mood changed. He suddenly didn't feel so happy anymore. Tears started to form but he didn't let them down.
"I- I'm gon-gonna g-go." Peter mumbled as he ran to the labs, not thinking about where he was going. He just needed to be alone for a second. He ran to his corner, where his desk and all were, slid down the wall and pulled his knees up. He just sat there, crying, not wanting to interact with anyone.
He didn't look up when someone sat down next to him, they didn't do anything either. Peter didn't care who it was, he just let his head drop on their shoulder. Their hand started to go through Peter's hair, calming the boy down.
"It's okay, I'm here for you." Peter recognised the voice as Tonys. That made him snuggle even more. They just sat there, no one spoke or moved.
"Pete, I know u you are comfortable but you really have to move."
"Whyyyy?" He whined.
"My arm is falling asleep." Peter chuckled a bit and moved. They both stood up.
"Tony I-"
"No, uh, I'm the one who needs to apologise. I understand your reaction."
Peter looked up at Tony with hopeful eyes.
"I- I still need to say something, I'm sorry for reacting that way and disabling FRIDAY. I just, I don't know. I think I just wanted to be alone for a second." Peter looked down in shame.
"Hey" Tony put a hand on Peter's shoulder, "Look at me." Peter looked up. "You don't have to apologise for that, I understand your reaction." Peter didn't say anything he just hugged Tony again.
"Thank you, Tony"
"Oh, by the way, I have something for you!" Tony lead Peter to his workstation and grabbed a poorly wrapped box. "Sorry, my wrapping skills aren't the best."
Peter opened the box and saw a new phone.
"I know you broke my phone but you didn't have to do this."
"Peter, this isn't a normal phone, turn it on please." Peter did, he turned the phone on and was greeted by a voice.
"Good afternoon Peter."
"M-May?" Peter started to tear up again, happy tears this time.
"Yes Peter, Mr Start programmed me as your personal AI. Every question you have I can answer, and if you just want to talk I am able to do that too." Peter smiled.
"Did- did you do this?" He questioned Tony.
"After what happened I knew I needed to do something. It has everything, your photos, videos, messages, everything."
"Thank you!" PEter tackled Tony with a hug, making them both laugh.
Together they walked back to the living room, where Bucky was. And he looked like he heard everything as he was smiling.
Peter let himself fall on the couch as he was busy looking through his phone.
"You did good Stark, it was a while ago he looked so happy." Bucky said to Tony.
"I know, and I'm sorry. I should have been there last night."
"Yeah you should have, but how could you have heard? It's not like you have super hearing like me." Bucky laughed a little.
"That's true, but FRIDAY always informs me for this kind of things but Peter disabled..."
"PETER BENJAMIN PARKER!" Peter looked in their direction with wide eyes. "YOU DISABLED FRIDAY?! I TOLD YOU ITS FOR YOUR HEALTH..." Their voices faded away as Peter ran and Tony started to chase him. And bucky just chuckled at the two. He's going to be a good father, well, kinda.
For the people who read this. School has really been a pain in the ass so my updates will be very random and probably far apart.
I hope you have a wonderful day/night!!
"Dude, you're embarrassing me in front of the wizards."
