Spooktober.03


✨Fluffy version✨


There was a loud clatter at the entrance of the lab, as if something had fallen.

Tony looks up from his work and sees Peter on his knees, collapsed onto the floor outside the door. He jumps up and opens the door.

Peter sobs, pulling at his mask. "Mr. Stark," he says weakly.

"Kid—" Tony says quickly, helping him up. Peter flinches and falls back.

"No no no no—" He sobs out, inching away.

"Peter, listen," Tony crouches down. "It's just me, kiddo. Can you hear me?"

Peter doesn't say anything for a second, hiccuping with a sob. Then he slowly nods.

"Okay. Good. Are you hurt? What happened?"

"'M not hurt," Peter says quietly, in a shaky voice. "I think."

"Pete—" Tony sighs. "That's not a very convincing answer, buddy. Can you stand?"

Peter nods and holds out his hands. Tony helps him up from the floor and puts a steadying hand on his shoulder. Peter sniffles.

"So, what happened?" Tony asks as he guides Peter into a seat.

"I-I can't see, Mr. Stark."

"You—What?"

Peter starts breaking down. He pulls off the mask. "I can't see anything. Something happened on p-patrol. It's—It's so dark, Tony—"

"Hey, it's alright!" Tony says quickly. He gets a glimpse of Peter's eyes. They normal honey brown colour has been completely clouded over with white. Tony frowns with worry, but still says comforting words. "I've got you, Pete."

Peter stumbles forward into Tony's arms, shaking with fear. Tony holds him closely. "It's alright, we're going to fix this. You're going to be okay," Tony runs a hand through Peter's hair to help calm him down.

And he did end up okay.

And he always will.

Tony will make sure of that.



☠️yikés version(Matt Murdock if you're reading I'm so sorry)☠️

Peter and Tony were supposed to be running after the guy.

That was an easier task to say out loud, but much harder to do once Peter was thrown into a tank of chemicals that was on the side of the street.

He had gotten out of the tank, that wasn't the problem.

The problem was that the chemicals were seeping through his suit. He screams.

Tony jolts forward, and drags Peter to the side lines. Fear courses through his veins, fire and nerves fueling his every move. He can't let the kid get hurt. He can't let the kid get hurt. He can't let the kid get hurt. The words circle through his thoughts on repeat.

He locks the door behind him and shoved Peter's mask off. "Pete? Peter, it's gonna be okay."

"I—I can't see—Mr. Stark—" Peter sounds terrified, whimpering like a kicked puppy. The sound resonates like a cold stone in the pit of Tony's stomach.

"Close your eyes, Peter," Tony said firmly. His voice still shook with fear, but he had to stay strong. For Peter. Do it for Peter. He can't let the kid get hurt.

"I can't see, I can't see—"

"Peter, CLOSE YOUR EYES."

Peter sobs, shutting his eyes tightly. "Mr. Stark—"

"FRIDAY, call Doctor Cho and tell her it's an emergency, a very serious one, now! Peter! Listen to me, you keep your eyes closed." Tony brushes away Peter's wet hair with shaking hands. "Stay calm, it's gonna be okay."

Peter sobs for a few more seconds and then just passes out, his head lolling to the side.

"Peter?" Tony asks, his heart beating fast. "PETER?!"

There's no answer.

And he never got one from Peter again.
