Peter walked through the doors of the Avengers tower expecting to at least be greeted by Clint and one of his pranks but no one was around so he went to the elevator to the common room. He stepped out of the elevator to see his family surrounding another kid. Peter thought nothing of it until Tony looked at him. "Oh hey Peter," oh no, peter thought. He only calls me Peter if he's mad or feeling awkward. "This is our new intern, he actually goes to your school." Peter thought this was super cool, he might have a new friend here, but boy was he wrong. He looked inside the group to the young boy to see who it was.
"Hey Parker," the voice sounded all to similar. "Hi Flash," Peter was shocked that he was here. At least flash was only interning right? Wrong. "I'll just go up to my room," Peter said walking to his door. "Oh Peter, we actually have your room to Eugene here, just go back to your aunts place." "O-okay, s-Sorry." Peter looked at the happy family, his family wondering what he did wrong. But before he could think longer security was already taking him out. He got chucked out the front door and remembered that he had no where to go. Tony adopted him because his aunt died last year because of cancer. Peter walked around until he found his secret hide out, it's where he used to put his clothes after school so he could be Spider-Man.

He went to school on Monday and flash was worse than ever. After school he saw happy and he didn't even smile or wave, he looked blankly at the man he used to think of as his second father, Tony being his first. Happy looked worried that peter wasn't coming over but he remembered what happened and his heart broke for the young boy. This went on all week and happy started realising that peter was getting skinnier and skinnier. Peter wasn't eating anything because he couldn't, he didn't have the money. His fast metabolism was making it way worse. It was now Saturday and peter knew he would probably be dead by Sunday due to lack of food because he stopped going to school, so he couldn't even get lunch there.

On Sunday morning peter decided to return his suit because he wouldn't need it where he was going and he thought his old family might like it or give it to flash when he's gone. He found some news paper and wrapped it up. Peter then went to the tower and gave the ladies at the front reception the parcel with a note he addressed to the team. The note was his suicide note because he wanted his death to be quick and he knew he was going to die anyway. In the note was the place he would be jumping from just so they'd know where to find him if they needed him for something, or on the slight possibility of them trying to save him.

After peter dropped of the "present" he went to a building on the edge of town that no one had been in or around in years. He sat on the edge thinking about what his life could've been like if everyone in his life didn't hate him or weren't dead. He looked over the edge of that roof for hours, he got there at 9am and stayed looking at the city until 6pm when he decided that the avengers where never going to come.

Tony's POV

Life has been great for Tony and the rest of the avengers in the past week. Flash really lightened up the place. He was such a good intern for Tony that Tony decided to make him the intern for all the avengers. The last person that had that job was Peter. He thought about peter for a few minutes before pushing the thoughts out of his mind and heading to the rest of the team in the common room. Flash was taking a well deserved day off today so all the Avengers decided to watch a movie together. They were finished the movie when a receptionist came up with a parcel and handed it to Tony. She said that Peter brought it a few hours ago and Peter requests they all read the note together. Tony asked why they didn't bring the parcel up straight away but the receptionist said that they were told not to disturb until the movie was finished. Tony unwrapped the parcel and saw the Spider-Man suit which immediately worried Tony. His son would never give up Spider-Man. He picked up the note and read it out loud.

Hey guys, I'm sure you won't read this till next week but I have some things to say and I couldn't bring myself to do it face to face. Okay so, I'm really happy for you guys and that you all enjoy spending all of your time with flash, but you guys didn't need to push me to my aunts place because if you'd all remember she died last year and the tower was my only home left. I don't want to make you guys feel bad because the reason you guys replaced me was probably my fault anyway but this is going to be the last thing you ever hear from me and I want to get all my thoughts out and leave with no regrets. Flash was the one bullying me so I'm happy you guys didn't let me stay, so I wouldn't have to put up with him at "home" as well. Just so you know I've been really struggling on the streets, I'm probably going to die from starvation by tonight because I stopped going to school. I was getting beaten up everyday and seeing happy was getting more and more difficult because it kept reminding me that I'm not good enough for you guys and I'll never be good enough for anyone. Tonight instead of starving to death I'll be jumping off the building at the edge if town. The one next to where I got a building dropped on me. I'll probably do it tonight, so if you want to find me maybe next week I'll be there, or if you read this in time and you still care you guys might actually try to talk me out of it. This was coming eventually, I need to be with my family. My real family, the ones that actually care for me. I guess I'm going now so I'll see you guys in another life.

Thanks for the good times
Peter

Everyone sat there shocked. What have they done? Why did they replace peter like that? After an hour of silent crying and shock Tony called flash and fired him. He then went to get his suit and he told the others to get theirs too. By the time they left the tower it was 5:45 and they thought that they might be too late. They made it too the building peter told them just in time to see a figure fall off. The avengers stood there and watched, shocked, sad and mad and themselves.

Third person view

Wanda knew there was still time to save him so she ran closer to the building and used her magic to slowly lower peter into her arms. Once she had her younger brother in safe with her she fell to the floor still cradling the sleeping boy (as she lowered him she made him sleep for a few mins so he could have some rest.) She started crying her eyes out as she saw Peter wake up. He was confused and asked her if he was dead. Her heart broke for the young boy and she told him that she saved him and that she was so sorry for everything. The other avengers saw the "siblings" talking and decided to let them sort it out before walking over.

Peters POV

Peter looked up at his big sister and apologised for trying to kill himself, and in that moment he saw her heart break for him because she knew that he was too pure to ever let her take responsibility for it. He hugged her and the both sat there crying for five minutes before the rest of his family walked over. They all started apologising and he brought all of them into a huge group hug.

"Underoos," Tony said with tears dripping down his face, "I'm so sorry that I made you leave, I don't know what I was thinking."
"It's okay dad, sorry for jumping off that roof and for stopping school and for being a burden on you guys." Everyone's heart broke for the broken young boy.

They all came home and watched Star Wars just for Peter and they never forgot how much that kid meant to them after that.
