Peter Parker Field Trips

Army

This is honestly the longest one I've wrote and I'm sorry for not updating for a while, I had an audition for this national music thing that I might be playing in and travelling the world for. OMG I really hope I get in though.

Anyway, I didn't really know how to stop writing this one so I stopped where I could. But if anyone wants me to do a part 2 then I'll write the rest.

Hopefully you guys are all healthy and okay during this rough time, my thoughts and prayers are with any of you that need them.

Please vote, comment etc, I love you all!

⚠️Trigger warning – mentions of war and graphics of war, some swearing⚠️

⚠️Spoiler warning – mentions of another fandom, Percy Jackson as well as Heroes of Olympus. You don't need to know about it to read its just got some characters and couples that get together in those books, so if ur reading PJO or HoO then there are spoilers (I own none of those characters, if I did I'd be rich). No marvel spoilers tho as far as I'm aware of.⚠️

If anyone told Peter 5 years ago that he would have momentarily dropped out of school to join the army, he probably would have laughed in your face. Little did he know how true that reality would be for him.

But let's take it back to the top, I'll introduce you to the main character, Peter Barnes. Son of Bucky Barnes and he's Spider-Man.

The reasoning for him joining the army at the young age of 15 being that 'maybe Spider-Man could make a huge difference to the war, and save a lot more lives over there'.

I mean, his Dad fought in World War 2, so did his uncle and he's been surrounded by military forces his whole life. It seems only fitting that he joined them some time.

His father tried to convince him that it wasn't a good idea, but Peter was stubborn just like Steve was all those years ago and Bucky finally caved, he made Peter promise to keep in contact and stay alive.

So Peter was dropped at the airport, said a quick goodbye to his Dad, who wished him good luck and made him promise to write to him while he was gone, and he was sent to the closest army training base where he undertook some of the most rigorous and challenging training that he had ever been a part of (and that's saying something, he's trained with the Avengers before).

---Years later, Anna, one of my friends says hi---

One night changed his life and turned his world upsidedown. The day he was shipped off to war, again. He thought he was finished with war for a little while at least, after being in 3 overseas missions and 38 US missions, but no here he was being shipped out for his fourth overseas mission.

Most teenagers don't appreciate how terrifying and gruesome a war zone actually is, they see it on a video game or a movie and think 'this isn't even bad, I don't know what they're complaining about.' (A/N not having a dig or a go at teenagers, I am still one myself and will be for about a year and a bit more. It is just for the sake of the story that these sentences were written and this in no way reflects my opinion)

Peter knows how horrendous war truly is. He heard stories from Uncle Steve and his Dad, but nothing ever matches up to actually being in the fight.

He was constantly looking over his shoulder, keeping an eye out for people trying to kill him. He witnessed the death and destruction that war caused in cities that are struggling. He had to recover the bodies of some of his closest friends from when he first joined the army a couple of years earlier, albeit they were years older than him, but they still treated him like family and their deaths will always be on Peter's mind.
