Peter

...

Couldn't sleep

Tony

Did something happen?

Peter

Have you ever watched someone die?

================================================================================

Tony's P.O.V

I'm sitting in my workshop and I nearly fall out of my chair when I read what he asked.

Have you ever watched someone die?

I mean, yeah I have. But why is he asking me that? Something really bad must've happened. When I tracked him right after I accidentally texted him, I found a police report for someone named "Benjamin Parker" which turned out to be Peter's uncle.

Benjamin got shot and in the report it said that his nephew was there at the scene. I could only imagine what that must've felt like. Especially since Peter was only 12 years old at the time.

I ponder what I should answer him. Because, again, yeah, I've seen people die. I've even killed some myself during missions, though mostly Hydra idiots. But then there was also Yinsen. I had to watch him die right in front of me...

Tony

I have

A good friend of mine

He helped me through... a tough period of my life

But then he got murdered and I was there and couldn't do anything about it
