Disclaimer: I don't own Marvel.
Peter's P.O.V.
"Is he awake?"
"He should be waking up any minute now." A voice says. I groan, getting the attention of the people in front of me. "Peter?"
"Kid? You awake?" That voice was familiar.
"M'ster Stark?" I mumble.
"Yeah, kid, it's me. How you feelin?"
"Uggghhh," I moan.
"Not good, huh. That makes sense, considering the 102.3°F fever you have!" He frowns. I wince, covering my ears. Mister Stark takes a deep breath, sighing. "Sorry kid. Didn't mean to be so loud." I nod, putting my hands down.
"Alright, Peter, let's check your temperature again." Bruce Banner sticks a thermometer in my mouth, until it beeps. He reads the number, frowning a little. "Well, it's gone down enough so you're out of the danger zone, but it's still too high."
"That doesn't make sense. Doesn't he have enhanced healing?" Mister Stark asks.
"Yes, he does. That's the part I can't explain. Unless he has some other injury, his temperature should have gone back to normal." Bruce looked at me. "Peter? Anything you want to share with us?"
I shake my head. "No," I say.
"How about what you're feeling, like any dizziness, hot or cold flashes?"
"Um... I'm a little dizzy," I explain.
"You're also sweating profusely, and your skin is hot to the touch." Tony points out.
"I'm sick," I shrug. "What else can we do?"
"Well, the antibiotics I gave you seem to be clearing it up a bit, so I'll keep you on those. I would get some more sleep," Bruce advised. I nod, and close my eyes to try and sleep.

I wake up to find myself in a different room. Mister Stark is asleep in a chair, and Bruce is nowhere to be seen.
"Mister Stark," I whisper. "Mister Stark!" He lazily opens his eyes, becoming alert when he sees me.
"How you feelin?" He questions. "Good to see you finally awake."
"Actually, not bad." I do feel much better. "How long was I out?" Mister Stark laughs.
"Relax, Pete, just a few hours." I exhale in relief. "May called, by the way. She misses you." I smile at the thought of my aunt.
"So... when can I see her?" I ask.
"You do seem to be healthy enough," Bruce cuts in. "I think we might keep you for a few extra days, just to be sure." He puts the thermometer into my mouth, taking it out at the beep. He reads it, smiling, and nods. "99.2°F. Still high, but safe."
"There's a room already set up. We can eat, then I'll show you the room."
"Nah, I'm not hungry."
"Peter, hold on. Tony's right, you need to eat something. Especially since you were sick," Bruce states. "Not to mention your super metabolism."
"Ok, I guess I'm a little hungry," I admit. Mister Stark smiles, and calls for food. After eating, he shows me my room.
"You should be good, if you need anything just ask JARVIS. But, kid, if anything is wrong, anything at all, you come to me, ok?" He asks. I nod slowly. "Ok! Well, I'll be in the lab if you need me." He closes the door, leaving me to explore my room. It's quite big, with its own bathroom and a king sized bed. As cool as the room is, I'd rather get some fresh air. I reach for the window, pushing it up. Before I jump out, I grab my Spiderman mask. I left the rest of my suit at home, but I can get it later.
I hop out the window, sticking to the wall. I quietly slide the window shut, and hope that nobody comes in to check on me. I climb up the wall to the roof, and check my web shooters, which I also brought. I should have enough web fluid to get home and back, and have some to spare. I shoot a web, and head home.
Once I make it to Queens, I slow down. I can see my house from here, but I have to be quiet. I slide off the roof, peeking into the window of my room. I don't see anyone, so I crawl in. I spot my suit, and grab it, changing quickly. I also grab another change of clothes, and a bag to put it in. Then I climb outside and shut the window behind me.
I sling a web, on my way back to Avengers tower, but I spot someone being mugged at gunpoint. I swoop in, startling them. The person being mugged turns to run, and the mugger aims the gun at me. I hear the gun go off, and jump out of the way. I don't think it hit me...
I quickly disarm the mugger, taking the gun and throwing it aside. I web him up, and turn to check on the other guy. My eyes widen in surprise when I see him on the ground, bleeding out. I know what the bullet hit now.
"Sir? Sir! Please, no, you'll be ok, you'll be ok..." I'm crying now, fumbling with my phone. I type in 9-1-1.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Please, help, I found this guy on the street, he's been shot!" I explain.
"Ok, where are you?"
"An alley, near the stadium. I can't stay with him though, I have to catch a train!" I lie. The dispatcher sighs.
"Fine. We're sending an ambulance now." The dispatcher hung up, and I hear sirens approaching. I shoot a web up, and perch on a nearby building to watch. I see the ambulance show up, and they start working. They took out a defibrillator, and shocked him several times. I watch in tears as the paramedic shakes her head.
I put my head down, tears flowing steadily now. I sit like that for awhile, but eventually I get up, and head back to Avengers tower. I climb in through the window, pulling off my mask. I grab my pocket knife, and go to the bathroom. I close and lock the door, stripping down to my underclothes. I grab the counter, staring at my reflection in the mirror. I'm a mess; tear stained cheeks, wild hair, and puffy red eyes.
I'm not worth it.
I take the pocket knife, slicing into my arm. I keep cutting, swiping at my arm over and over again, until I hear a knock at the door.
"Peter?" Bruce asked, sounding panicked. "Can you let us in?"
"Go away," I snap, still slicing at my arms.
"Peter, let us in," Mister Stark demanded. "So help me, I will kick this door in!"
"No!" I can't stop. My arms covered in blood, my blood. And it's all my fault.
"Alright!" I hear something strike the door, presumably Mister Stark's foot. The door kicks in, and the two of them grab my wrists. "You better have a damn good explanation for this."
So? Chap 2 is up! Yay! Leave a review! Thanks!
