Peter is arrested for the murder of Quentin Beck. Heās put on The Raft, where they put power dampening cuffs on him, they keep him weak and tired and dumb. He sits alone for so long in a solitary cell, freezing and underfed, that he starts hallucinating Tony talking to him.
āHey, kid. Donāt fall asleep too long. I know your head hurts. Wake up. Come on.ā
āAlrighty, sleepyhead. Put your chin up. Let me see your eyes. Good boy.ā
āUp and at āem, Parker. Give me the first two-hundred digits of PI. Donāt give me that look, Iām still the boss.ā
Sometimes, when Peterās fever gets high enough, he can press his forehead into the cool metal wall of the cell, and he can imagine that heās leaning against an Iron Man suit.
It helps him get through the night. Thatās really all he can hope for.
tony survived the snap but has been kept on the ramp for testing. Heās in the cell next door. Nothing he says or does convinces Peter heās real, though. Sometimes he wonders himself if he is.
