Thereâs an angel smiling down at him. Her eyes are wet with tears, and her lips are moving, but he canât hear what sheâs saying. Thereâs a thundering in his ears drowning her outâ is that his heartbeat?
Her glasses sit on the tip of her nose as she leans over him, her long brown hair falling over her shoulder. He thinks thatâs whatâs tickling his skin. Her hand squeezes his tightly.Â
He doesnât recognize this woman, but he knows her. His soul remembers who this angel is.Â
âMââ He canât get the word out. He tries desperately to, but he canât talk.Â
Mom looks scared as her voice filters in. âI know, baby. Iâm here. Donât talk. They have to get the tube out first.âÂ
Now that she mentions it, there is a lot of chaos going on around them. He hears beeping and yelling and a manâŠhe knows that man.Â
The man is scared.Â
He doesnât want to scare this man. He loves this man, that much he knows. Well, thatâs all he knows.Â
âPeter, kidâ stop!âÂ
What is he doing? Heâs not sure. But it hurts.Â
And Mom is there, holding his hand. Sheâs smiling at him, whispering softly even as the man yells at othersâ not at him, his voice isnât soft enough. Heâs telling them to work faster. To do something.
Itâs all a little much for him.Â
Maybe he can rest againâ he is really tired, his head hurts so much, and thereâs something lodged in his throat making it hard to breathe.Â
Mom seems to know what he needs. She brushes his hair and says, âSleep. Iâll be right here, baby.â Â

day 2: kidnapping, pick who dies
Even though Peter tries not to think about it, he knows Tonyâs favorite is Morgan. Why wouldnât she be? Sheâs his real, biological daughter. Peterâs just an intern that stuck around. But when a bad guy uses this against him, it feels even worse than he imagined.

âKeep it moving, brats. I donât have all day.â The masked man behind Peter jabbed him in the back with the tip of his gun again.
Normally, this was when Peter made a quick witted response, but he couldnât. Not when he had Morgan by his side. If he said one wrong word, she got punished. He learned that the hard way when he didnât answer a question and she got slapped.Â
That was the first and last time he let her get hurt.Â
Peter, on the other hand, had an eye swollen shut, a bruise covering the left side of his face, and dried blood dripping from his eyebrow.Â
He wasnât even Spider-Man; he was just Peter Parker picking up his little sister from school. They were snatched before he could even feel his spidey sense could go off.
That was a few hours ago, and now, they were being dragged off to another spot without even a word of what they were doing.Â
Peter wasnât sure where they were going, but wherever it was, he was going to make sure that Morgan stayed by his side, unarmed. He made sure that she kept up and didnât give the man any excuses to hurt her.Â
They stopped in another room, that was much more open than the other room they were crapped in. He shoved Peter in a chair first and started tying his wrists and ankles to the chair. Peter didnât struggle, even though he could have easily beat him. âDonât hurt her.âÂ

day 1: waking up restrained, shackled, hanging,
Steve wakes up restrained and hanging in some Hydra den, which is fine, really. He can handle that. What he canât handle is watching them blow up his husband and son. That breaks him more than any torture ever would.

When Steve became aware of things around him again, it felt like he had never passed out. It was like a moment had passed since one of the Hydra agents slammed a block of concrete against the side of his head, rendering him unconscious.Â
But he knew it couldnât have been that short of time because he wasnât where he was knocked unconscious. He was strung up by the shackles and chains around his wrists.Â
His feet just barely brushed against the ground, not enough to hold himself up to stop the iron from digging into his wrists.Â
He couldnât help the groan he let out as he lifted his neck so his chin was no longer resting against his chest.Â
âFinally awake, hm?"Â
Steve looked over at the Hydra agent speaking to him and he narrowed his eyes, keeping his jaw clenched firm.Â
"Youâve been out for quite some time. Itâs hard to get information from an unconscious man."Â
"I think youâd find it easier than getting it from me while Iâm conscious,â Steve growled.Â
âWeâll see about that,â the man strolled over, casually with a cattle prod in his hand.Â
If your planning on slapping your whumpee, do it with the back hand. A backhand slap is harder because you have more arm movement and more momentum. A backhand slap hurts more because of the knuckles and because the palm helps lessen the blow. Also consider getting whumper to wear a ring when backhand slaping. This will cut whumpees face.

Summary: Janitor Wallace from Midtown High loses his three-year-old son in a tragic accident. 1 month later, Peter goes missing. It takes Tony almost 7 months to connect the stories. (Inspired by an episode of Criminal Minds)
193 days. Peter had been missing for six months. Tony had searched every day for where he could have been. There was no explanation: one day he just never came home from school. Tony was sure one of Spider-Manâs enemies had discovered his secret, but Toomes was still in jail and he promised he said nothing to anyone. Then Tony had wondered if it was because he could be linked to Tony, but no one ever came demanding money or weapons.
There was never anything. Not even a clue. Even the police had practically given up, listed Peterâs file as another cold case. And Tony couldnât blame them. Hundreds of people went missing like this; they didnât have enough manpower to continue searching for each missing person, especially months after theyâd gone missing.
Most people thought he was dead. The school even had a memorial for him.
But Tony knew he wasnât. He knew that if Peterâs light was extinguished from this world, then he would feel something. But he didnât. He still felt like Peter was here. So he didnât give up. Neither did Rhodey or Happy. They helped him search every day since he went missing. Pepper helped keep May sane through it all. She had lost her husband, and now she thought she had lost her son.
But then they finally caught a break. Tony had gotten desperate enough to run every single person that worked in Peterâs school through his system. For anything. Nothing really clicked until he got to a janitor in Peterâs school lost his 3-year-old son a year ago. It was devastating to read about the toddler running into the street faster than his father could catch him. Nothing really clicked, even though Peter had the same big brown eyes and curly brown hair as the little boy had. Tony really didnât think anything of it until Happy jumped up and said that he recognized him. The few weeks before Peter went missing, he saw him hanging a little closer around Peter after pick-up.
They didnât have any concrete evidence, so they couldnât call the police just yet. They waited for school to be halfway through the school day for them to storm his house. Happy put all of his weight against the front floor and it broke easily. âThree floors,â Tony said. âIâll get bottom, Rhodey gets main, and Happy gets the top floor.â
He didnât wait for them to go before he was running right to the stairway that led to the basement. He ran down the stairs, calling out Peterâs name. âPeter! Peter!â He stopped once he was in the basement and looked around at the room. It was painted light blue and there were tons of toys thrown around the floor. Tony hesitated when he saw it all. It looked like a toddler was still living in the apartment. âWhat the hellâŠâ
There was a sound of chains clanking and his head whipped to follow the sound. And when he saw what he did, he almost cried. There was Peter. Peter was laying on the bed, with chains around his stomach, keeping him tied to the bed.
He hurried over to his side and fell to his knees. Peter was sound asleep...well, Tony hoped he was asleep. His hair was surprisingly soft as Tony ran his hands through his curls. It had grown longer since heâd been gone, falling into his eyes. He was dressed in pajama pants that reminded Tony of the Hello Kitty pajama pants Tony made him wear. Except, these were covered with some other cartoon with a matching t-shirt. That wasn't even the worst. The worst part was the pacifier he had stuck in his mouth.
Tony reached over and was about to rip it out of his mouth, but he hesitated. There had to be a reason why Peter hadnât pulled it out. Was it rigged to hurt Peter some way if he took it out? Was it physically stuck somehow?
Taking a deep breath, Tony pulled on the pacifier. It didnât come out easily, but it was because Peter was sucking back on it. Tony frowned and tugged on it hard enough to get it out. He threw it behind him, desperate to get it away from them.
Peter blinked his eyes open and Tony tried not to look as scared as felt. âHey, bud⊠you know who I am?â
Peter just continued staring up at him.
âItâs Tony. Itâs Mr. Stark.â Tony ran his hands through Peterâs hair, trying to get any recognition in his eyes. There was nothing. He cursed under his breath and pulled out his phone. He texted Rhodey and Happy letting them know he found Peter. They needed to get him out of here before the psycho came back. âYou ready to go?â
Peter didnât answer, but Tony started pulling at the chains around his stomach. He was still tugging at them when Happy and Rhodey came down the stairs. âTony! Where the hell is he?â The two of them stormed down the stairs until they were at the bottom.
Tony glanced over his shoulder to see them. âHeâs chained up. We need to get him out.â
Rhodey was the first to recover and hurried forward. âI donât know where the keys would be. Weâre gonna have to use one of the suits to cut it.â
âI donât want to hurt him,â Tony said, his eyes on his Peterâs face. His eyes were closed again.
âWeâre not. Iâll hold the chains away from him and you cut it.â Rhodey leaned over and lifted the chains away from his stomach. Tony had some of the nanobots from around his hand to make a gauntlet. He sliced through it with finger laser and finally, Peter was free.
âWhat the fuck?â Happy said, still standing still at the bottom of the steps.
âHogan, get over here and help us get these off of him!â Rhodey shouted, yanking the chains off, careful enough not to hurt him.
Tony was cupping Peterâs cheek and he said, âHey, buddy, you need to wake up. Weâve gotta go.â
Peter blinked his eyes open and frowned. âPotty?â
âWhat the fuck?â Happy repeated again, right behind Tony now.
Tony ignored him because he was just as terrified, but that didnât mean he was going to show it. âPeter, weâre getting you free. Youâre going home.â He lifted him up and Happy hurried to get the other side of him, but even with both of them holding his weight, his legs crumpled underneath him.
âPeter, youâve got to walk,â Happy said, grunting as he tried to lift him up. He was much lighter than he should be, but still, his dead weight was hard to lift.
âCanât,â he mumbled, his head lolling on Tonyâs shoulder.
âGod, how long have you been laying here, Underoos?â Tony asked, leaning down and lifting him up in his arms. Peter immediately wrapped his arms around his neck and his legs around his waist.
Rhodey started looking around the room. âMan, this is...this is some--.â
Tony turned to look at Rhodey and shook his head. Tony didnât know what the hell went on here exactly, but he had an idea and he knew Peter would probably be embarrassed about it. Rhodey stopped short and continued to look around the room.
âJust get anything that looks like evidence,â Tony said. He hesitated before adding, âAnd anything we wouldnât want anyone else to see. Or, Peter wouldnât want anyone else to see.â Like him laying in a bed sucking a binky in his mouth.
Rhodey nodded his head. âYou guys get him out of here. Iâll start looking and call this in. Just get him to the infirmary first. Donât want anyone else stepping in to take over recovery.â
âYeah, good idea,â Tony said. He planned on no one knowing what the hell was going on unless they absolutely needed to know. These three, May, and Cho. No one else needed to know about it.
âCome on, Tony,â Happy whispered. âIâll drive us back to the tower.â
Tony nodded his head, following Happy towards the stairs. He avoided stepping on any of the small toys strewn across the floor that he knew Peter never even touched. It was just for show. Some part of this sick manâs illusion. He took one last look at the room; now that a 15-year-old kid wasnât chained to the bed, it actually looked pretty normal. Tony shivered before turning back around and following Happy all the way up the stairs.
For the first time in 6 long months, Peter was off that bed and out of that basement. Tony smiled and whispered close to his ear, âGood to have you back, Pete.â
Peter had fallen asleep the moment Tony had him on the bed in the infirmary. He had Cho alerted of the situation before he arrived so she was ready. She took his blood, ran a few tests, hooked some IVs into him and now he was fast asleep.
She had no answers for anything yet. It was too early. So all Tony could do was sit by his bedside. Until Happy came in. âWeâve got the sick bastard. Wanna come watch Rhodey interrogate him?â
Tony looked over at Peter one last time before standing up and following him out. âIâm not allowed in there, Iâm guessing.â
âRhodey doesnât want you killing him. Even if he deserves it.â Happy huffed, not sounding any happier about it. He could pretend all he wanted, but Tony had been by his side since Peter first went missing and he was torn up by what happened. He loved Peter just as much as the rest of them did.
âHe definitely deserves it,â Tony muttered as they walked into a small room with a one-way window that they could look through. He saw Rhodey standing by the table with his arms crossed as he glared down at the janitor. He was still wearing his uniform from work as he sat there and begged Rhodey to let him go.
âPlease, sir! My son is home alone. Heâll get scared if Iâm not back when Iâm usually back.â
Peter. He was talking about Peter.
âYour son died, Mr. Wallace. He died seven months ago.â
Wallace shook his head frantically. âNo! He didnât!â
Rhodey smacked his hand against the table making Wallace flinch. âCare to tell me why you had a 15-year-old kid chained to a bed in your basement?â
âH-Heâs three. He was born on July 13, 2013.â Wallace looked down at his lap, rocking a few times. âHeâs only three.â
âHeâs 15! You kidnapped him and chained him to that bed for six months!â Rhodey roared, smacking his hand against the table again.
Wallace whimpered and said quickly, âHe wasnât chained! He just canât walk. There was an accident. He canât walk, but I take care of him. I take such good care of him.â
Tony felt sick just listening to this. In another circumstance, maybe he would have felt sorry for the man that was so destroyed by the death of his toddler heâd gone insane. But not now. Not when he stole Peter from them.
Rhodeyâs voice softened only slightly. âHe died that day. Your son is gone.â
âNo, no, no,â Wallace started to mutter. âHeâs fine! Just let me go home and Iâll show you. He naps when Iâm at work and then I get home. I need to go home. Liam is probably looking for me.â He looked towards the door and yanked on the chains around his wrists.
âHis name isnât Liam. Itâs Peter. And heâs not your son.â
âN-No. Liam is fine. I saved him. I brought him home.â
Rhodey heaved a sigh and took a seat. âFine. Letâs say that was Liam...can you answer a few questions for me?â
Wallace looked up again, nodding his head. âOf course.â
âDid you hurt him when he was in that bed? Did you hurt him in any way?â
âOh, no! Of course not! I love Liam. Why would I hurt my son?â Tony believed him.
âThen would you care to explain why my team food small Tupperware filled with pureed food--.â
âThatâs Liamâs.
âYes, I know. Would you like to explain why we found drugs in those foods? Why were you drugging your son if you didnât want to hurt him?â
âI wasnât drugging him! His doctor gave me those prescriptions. He said that they would help with the pain. And at first, Liam never liked sitting still. He always wanted to go run. But I told him he couldnât go running again. Last time he went running, he got hurt. I mix the medicine with his food to help.â
âNo. You drugged his food to keep a kidnapped child from running away.â Rhodey said, shoving back his chair as he stood up.
âI have the prescriptions! Just let me go home and get them for you.â
Rhodey ignored him as he walked towards the door and out of the room. Wallace continued to scream and even cry for Liam. Tony shut off the audio when he couldnât bear to hear it.
âGod,â Happy breathed. âIâve seen this shit on TV. Never thought it would happen in real life. Not to Peter.â
Tony wasnât sure what to say, so he kept his mouth shut.
Rhodey came into the room, not looking as pissed and scary as he did in the room with Wallace. He looked crushed. âI never want to do that again. Poor guy lost his kid seven months ago and for all he knows, he just lost him all over again.â
âHe kept Peter drugged,â Tony said in a low voice because thatâs all his mind could focus on. Just the thought of Peter fighting that man. Holding back like he always did, especially because he knew the janitor. How did Wallace even get the drop on him? Did Peter ever get close to getting out of that basement before the man started drugging him three times a day? Did he wonder when Tony was going to come save him?
âYeah...we sent the samples to Cho so she can figure out what they are exactly and how they affect Peterâs body.â
âHeâs addicted to them,â Tony said, remembering his days of spending his nights with drugs and alcohol. âEvery day for seven months? The poor kid is going to go through withdrawals.â
âYes,â Rhodey agreed. âBut he's going to get better. We have no reason to believe that Peter was physically or sexually assaulted in that basement. Thatâs a good sign.â
âHe wasnât assaulted, he was only chained to a fucking bed and treated like a fucking toddler,â Happy scoffed, rolling his eyes.
âI didnât say everything was perfect. There are just two fewer things to worry about.â
âWell at least with those two, we know where to start with recovery. I donât know the protocol for this one.â
âJust like any other recovery,â Tony answered, sick of listening to them argue. âWe go in there and we just stand right by his side. We stand there and we stay until heâs better. We do whatever we need to do to help him feel better. Thereâs nothing else we can do.â
Tony hadnât meant his words so literally, but thatâs exactly what they did. They took turns sitting in chairs by his bed (May the only one constantly there) and waited for a sign of change. For days, Peter laid there and barely moved. On rare occasions, he would open his eyes and let out low whines.
Cho said they were trying to wean him off the drugs Wallace had coursing through his veins. It would take some time. They had a feeding tube in him, IV giving him water, and even a tube to handle the bathroom. Peter was barely doing anything for himself except fighting the withdrawals.
One night Peter woke the medbay with his screams. May attempted to console him as he thrashed in bed, ripping out a few IVs. Tony hated the relief he felt when he heard Peter screaming his name. He went over to his side, grabbed his hand and promised him he was right there and he wasnât leaving any time soon.
He would make sure to keep that promise, even if it took another seven months before he was able to get out of this bed.
Thankfully, it wasn't that long before Peter was coherent enough to realize what was going on around him. He was still slower than normal because the drugs had muddled his brain good and he needed physical therapy to build up the muscles in his legs from disuse.
He seemed okay mentally though. A little too okay for Tony to believe. Cho told him that it was plausible. Peter's mind could have pushed away the memories or he could just not have remembered it because of all the drugs going through his system. Â
As the weeks passed, he slowly started to get better. He stopped whining when he needed something like food or to use the restroom. His stomach was able to handle more than light foods. He could walk around the infirmary without any assistance.
He still had nightmares every so often, but Tony wasn't surprised at that. He still had nightmares over things he went through.
Tony also still caught him raising his thumb to his mouth ever so often. When he was tired or anxious, usually. Cho said it was just the muscle memory of it, but Peter never pulled his finger out until he caught Tony staring at him.
Tony just wanted to understand what was really going on in Peter's mind during this recovery. But how he found out was not the way he wanted to.
Peter was out of the infirmary finally, but staying at the tower in his room. Peter still wasn't back to normal just yet and Tony hadn't even thought about the story they were going to tell. Peter was thought to be dead, they mourned him.
They needed some kind of excuse as to why Peter had disappeared and then reappeared. One that didn't involve Wallace. The only person that knew outside of their small circle and was sworn to secrecy was Ned. Tony had been hesitant, but Peter had begged and he caved. So far, the kid had kept their secret.
May had a room in the tower too, right next to Peter's. At first, she had camped out on the couch in Peter's rook night after night, but Peter after her not to. He wanted some space and privacy after everything that had happened. Tony couldn't blame him.
He was working in the lab until early hours in the morning and when he walked down the hall past Peter's room, something stopped him. Not physically. But something had Tony's mind saying: go in and see him.
So he did.
He didn't knock because he assumed Peter would be asleep by now. However, when he opened the door and stepped inside, he heard him whimpering softly. Tony's heart broke and he wanted to run over there and comfort him, but he also didn't want to alarm him.
So he took slow steps over to him until he walked around the bed and was on the side Peter was curled up and facing. The light on Peter's bedside table was still on, so Tony could see his face clearly. His eyes were squeezed closed and his cheeks were glistening with tear tracks. He was biting his bottom lip so harshly, there was a small trail of blood dripping down his chin.
Tony opened his mouth to say Peter's name, but a memory had him snapping his mouth shut. A memory from one of the first nights that they had Peter home. He had woken up screaming from a nightmare and no one could calm him down. Not even May. Tony wasn't sure how he thought of the idea, but when he had tried it, it worked. His stomach turned and he had said in a soft voice, "Calm down, Liam. It's okay." And Peter settled down with only a few whimpers.
Tony hoped it wouldn't be like that this time. "Peter, are you okay?"
Peter's eyes immediately snapped open and he started to wipe the tears from his cheeks. "M-Mr. Stark, I didn't hear you come in."
Tony felt a wave of relief when he realized Peter was...Peter. âJust came to say goodnight. Did you have a nightmare?â He said on the edge of the bed and rubbed Peterâs arm gently.
âNo.â Peter shook his head, going back to gnawing on his bottom lip.
Tony sighed. Did Peter really thinking he could fool Tony when he was still obviously shaken up from whatever was in his dream? Â âYou donât have to lie to me, bud. Itâs okay to have nightmares.â
âNo. I didnât have a nightmare. I havenât even fallen asleep yet.â
Peter was just laying here crying for hours. That was worse than the nightmares.
âDo you want to talk about whatâs on your mind?â
Peter hesitated and for a moment, Tony thought Peter wasnât going to answer him. But by some miracle, he did. âI remember it. Most of it is all scrambled from the drugs, but the beginning, I remember it all.â
Tony feared exactly that. He hoped it would stay repressed in his mind. âIâm sorry it took so long, Peter. We tried to find you, but we didnât even think to look--.â
âIt was so humiliating,â he whispered, his voice cracking. âHe treated me like a baby. He wouldnât let me talk besides for small words. He made me call him D-Dad. He called me Liam, his baby. I just had to lay there and let him feed me and carry me to the bathroom and wash me.â
Tony knew all of that. Everyone had a feeling about what happened in that room. No one told them, but they weren't stupid. They could put it all together from seeing Peter in that room and how he was acting. for weeks afterward. Tony knew he had to have gone through some shit, but he never knew for sure. âThat wasnât your fault and no one blames you.â
âIt was so humiliating,â Peter sobbed, reaching out for his hand. âBut after everything that happened-- even as it was happening, I still-- I still felt bad for him. I still do.â
Tony held onto him in the best attempt he could make at a hug while Peter was laying down and Tony was sitting up. âBecause youâre a good kid.â Peter felt bad for every villain because to him, no one was ever evil without a reason to be. There was always something making them act on and Peter believed everyone could see the light again.
âNo...I feel bad because I did the same exact thing that he did.â
Tony frowned. âUm, unless youâve got a kid chained up in the basement to replace your dead son, you didnât do the exact same thing he did, bud.â
âHe lost his son. He was just trying to get him back,â Peter said. âHe thought that replacing him would make it hurt less. I did the same thing to you. I used you to replace my uncle. How can I be upset at him when I did the same thing?â
Tony ran his fingers through Peterâs hair. His curls werenât soft; they were sweaty and greasy. Peter hadnât liked showering or bathing since heâd been back. They had to force him to most times. Tony wouldnât be so quick to bathe if it just brought back memories of being washed by some stranger. âYou did not do the same thing at all. Do you call me Ben?â
Peter shook his head. âNo. Of course not.â
âBecause youâre not acting like him. You know Iâm not your Uncle Ben. You donât try to force me to be someone Iâm obviously not.â Tony continued to comb his curls methodically. âAnd I guess you could say I do the same thing.â
âWhat?â Peter looked up at him, his confusion distracting him from his lip chewing.
âI see you as my kid. You became my kid. Not the one I lost, but the one I never had.â
âReally?â
âOf course. Youâre my kid. Which means that I want to help you. You donât have to go through all of this alone. You donât have to hide these feelings. Itâs okay to go to someone for help. You went through a lot, Peter.â
âHe didnât even hurt me. Iâve been tortured as Spider-Man. This shouldnât have knocked me down for so long.â
Tony picked the blanket up off of Peter and got into the bed next to him. âThis was a type of torture in of itself, buddy. You went through hell for seven months.â
Peter curled up against his side and held onto him tightly. âI just wish there was a way to get him his kid back...for real. Itâs not fair.â
Of course, the kid was more worried for Wallace. âWeâre going to get him the help he needs, Pete. But letâs worry about you for now, yeah?â
âIâm fine. You donât have to worry about me.â
âI always worry about you, kid. But I worry even more when youâre suffering and you hide it.â Tony looked down at Peter and used the pad of his thumb to wipe the blood off of his chin.
âI donât want to run and cry to anyone. Iâve been treated like a baby for the past six months. I donât want you guys to think Iâm acting like one now that Iâm finally home.â
âYouâre not acting like a baby because you ask for help, Peter. And I promise you that no one is going to treat you like a baby. Youâre 15. Not 3. We all know that. No one blames you at all. We just want to help you.â
Peter hid his face in Tonyâs chest as he let out another sob. âIâm just...really embarrassed.â
âYou shouldnât be. Iâve done so much worse on my own will. Just ask Happy or Rhodey.â
Peter shook his head. âThey look at me different ever since.â
Tony couldn't deny that, but he also couldnât blame them. Tony was having trouble himself with this entire situation. âTomorrow weâll talk to them and straighten all this out. But for tonight, you have to sleep. You need your rest.â
âIâm afraid to sleep. Every time I fall asleep, I feel like Iâm back in that basement, chained to the bed.â Peter whispered.
âI promise youâre not back there. Youâre never going back there. Iâve got you, bud.â
âPromise?â Peterâs voice was still a low whisper.
âOf course, I do, kid. I just got you back. Iâm not losing you again.â

10: âI canât get upâ and also based on this prompt (x)
âHey, FRI, whereâs the kid?â Tony asked, walking away from his very empty room. He tried not to let himself get too upset. They had been steadily improving Peterâs recovery after being kidnapped for three months.
Three long months. Just like Tony had been once. Except they didnât hurt Peter to force him to build them something, they hurt him just to prove they could. Because apparently for some people, making a child with mutant powers their fucking pet was some power move.
Peter had been a mess ever since they rescued him from the cell they were keeping him in. He barely spoke, never looked anyone in the eyes and when there wasnât someone telling him what to do, he looked lost.
But they had been working on it. They were going on two full days without Peter falling back into the submissive tendencies they had literally beaten into him.
âHe is in the kitchen, sir.â
Tony smiled. Maybe the kid was getting himself some breakfast. Eating food without direct permission was another thing they were trying to work on. Maybe it finally worked. Even if he was just nibbling on a banana. Anything.
He walked into the kitchen, ready to walk over to the table and slap a hand on Peterâs back and tell him how proud he was of him. But his smile disappeared when he wasnât at the table.
His eyes darted down to the ground where he saw Peter kneeling on the floor, surrounded by shards of glass. He was holding one of his hands to his chest and Tony could see the blood staining the sweatshirt he was wearing. Heâd seen Peter bleed worse, but it was still concerning to see that much coming from his hand that was probably cut with glass. It was too much blood.
âFRIDAY, how long has the kid been kneeling here?â Tony asked softly so he didnât startle Peter. He was staring down at the floor, not moving even at the sound of Tonyâs feet against the floor.Â
â53 minutes, boss.â Shit.Â
âPeter, câmon, get up bud,â Tony said, walking over slowly. He recognized that glaze over his eyes. He wasnât in the tower, he was back in that cell.
âI canât get up, sir,â Peter replied, his voice sounding empty. God, did he even know he was talking to Tony?
âWhy canât you get up? You need help?â Tony was glad he was wearing slippers so he could walk through the glass shards easily. He hoped Peter wasnât barefoot.
âIâm waiting for my punishment, sir,â he said, his voice shaking in fear. âI broke the bowl. I stained your shirt. I must be punished.â
Tony immediately shook his head, feeling his heart shatter. âNo. You donât need to be punished, Peter. Itâs just a bowl and thatâs just a sweatshirt. I can replace them both.â
âIâm sorry,â Peter said, one tear falling down his cheek. âIâm sorry, sir. Iâll be better.â
Tony kicked some of the glass out of the way with his feet before kneeling in front of Peter. He cupped his cheeks and whispered softly, âYou donât need to apologize for this, Pete. I will never punish you.â
âI deserve it,â Peter said, even though Tony could tell that was the last thing Peter wanted. He could see it in his eyes and hear it in his voice.
âYou donât, buddy. Youâre a human kid. Youâre in the tower. Youâre not back there.âÂ
âI know that, sir,â Peter replied, refusing to look Tony in the eyes no matter how hard he tried to force him.Â
Peter knew where he was and he still thought he needed to be punished. âYouâre with me, kid. Mr. Stark. Iâm not going to punish you. I promise.âÂ
Peterâs eyes finally flickered over to his face. âR-really?â
âOf course. Why would I punish you for breaking a bowl?â
âItâs yours and I broke it. I was getting food without asking and then I broke it on you. And then I ruined your sweatshirt that you were kind enough to let me borrow.âÂ
âThe only thing I care about is you, Peter. So, why donât you stand up with me and let me clean your hands out? Iâll have someone clean this up for us and then weâll come down for breakfast together. Even though, youâre allowed to eat whenever you want,â he said. âThat is allowed.âÂ
Peter hesitated. âYouâre not mad?â
Tony gave him a soft smile. âNot at you, kiddo. Never at you.â
Your fic "Close to my heart, Never to part" is so fucking beautiful. I cry every time I read it. And it's amazing how you are able to write amazing fluff and amazing whump so flawlessly
relationship(s): May/Happy, Peter & Happy, Peter & Happy
whumpee: Peter
word count: 1.4k
Happy was living with them now which was weird at one point. But now, Peter couldnât imagine the apartment without him. He woke up and Happy was making coffee and sometimes breakfast for them. It was nice to have someone else in the house when May had early shifts at the hospital. Peter hated being alone. And he was sure May loved having someone home with her when Peter was on patrol or at school.
It took some getting used to...having someone take the place that used to be Benâs. It hurt at first. But he sat down with Happy and they talked for hours and maybe Peter cried a bit, but in the end, Happy assured him that he wasnât there to replace his uncle. He could never even dream about coming close to Ben Parker.
Things were good now.
So good that when Peter smelled pancakes from the kitchen, he barely took time to get dressed and comb his hair before he was rushing out of his room to get some. May was sitting at the table, drinking her morning coffee. She smiled up at him when he came in. âYou in a rush?â
âHungry,â was his response as he sat down at the table, mouth-watering.
âYeah, I bet,â Happy said, walking over with a plate stacked high with pancakes. He was used to Peterâs alarming amount of food needed to satisfy his metabolism.
âWhatâs the plan for my boys today?â May asked as Happy set her plate down and then took his own seat next to her.
Peter answered with his mouth full. âWeâre gonna go to the gym down by that sketchy 24-hour laundromat. Happy is gonna show me his boxing moves.â
May laughed as Happy made a face. âSwallow before you start talking, heathen. No one wants to see that.â
Peter purposely stuck his tongue out to show Happy his half-chewed waffle.
Happy gagged, looking away as May laughed harder.
--
âAlright, kid, get your butt down to the car. If we get there before noon, we can still grab the good mat.â
âThe good mat?â Peter asked as he hurried down the stairs, next to Happy.
âYeah. Not as much blood stains and sweat covering it. Fewer chances of contracting questionable skin diseases.â
Peter pulled a face at that. âHappy, thatâs disgusting. Why donât you have Mr. Stark pay for a membership to a fancy gym? Iâm sure he wouldn't mind. Heâd probably build you your own gym.â
âSame reason you and May didnât want him putting you in a new apartment a few years ago. I havenât taken a hand out form Tony Stark in 30 years and I donât plan on starting now. Also, this gym has history for me. Friends and memories.â
Peter smiled. âYou went there before you even met him?â
âUh huh. In fact, I was leaving practice from that gym when I first met him,â he answered just as they stepped out of the apartment building.
âNo way!â He said, jumping a little at the excitement. He had yet to hear the story of how they met.
âHavenât heard that story, yet?â Happy asked, bemused as he glanced over at him.
âNo!â
âDoesnât surprise me. If I told you, Tony would probably deny every word.â Happy shrugged his shoulders as he pulled his keys from his pocket.
Peter wanted to keep pushing it and find out the story, but his curiosity stopped when he felt the hair on the back of his neck stand up straight. His spidey sense. Something was wrong. And when he looked over at Happy, getting closer to his car parked on the curb, it only got worse. âHappy!â
Happyâs head snapped up at the panic in his voice and he froze a few steps away from the car. âWhatâs wrong, kid?â
Peter didn't answer because all he heard was the beeping. He rushed forward to grab Happyâs hand and tug him behind him. He yanked his arm and Happy came stumbling backward and Peter took a step in front of him just as the spidey sense screamed so much that Peter felt nauseous.
Then the explosion.
It was so loud that it all went quiet.
Peter felt himself go flying backward and he felt the pain, but he didnât hear anything. That kind of made it all peaceful. He laid on the street, blinking up at the sky. Smoke was surrounding him. There were muffled screams and yells, but they sounded like whispers from far away.
Peter wanted to get up and see if Happy was okay. He had to make sure he was far away enough when the bomb went off. But then Happy was above him with wide eyes and blood trickling down his cheek. He was saying something, but Peter didnât hear a word of it.
His hands came to his chest and Peter felt himself scream. But he didnât hear it.
Happy pulled his hands away, looking terrified.
Peter wanted to hands back no matter how much it hurt. He wanted Happy to hold him. He lifted his hand towards him and let out a whine. He couldnât hear it, so he hoped it was loud enough. But he whined and reached until Happy was taking his hand in his.
Peter smiled and then shut his eyes. With no sounds, total darkness, and Happy holding his hand, it wasnât hard to let himself fall asleep.
--
He woke up and it wasnât silent. There was beeping and there was someone talking.
âHow long is he supposed to be asleep? They said heâd be up hours ago!â
âTony, sit down. Heâs recovering from the surgery. Heâs okay.â
âI canât sit down! 15 pieces, Happy! They pulled 15 pieces of shrapnel from his goddamn chest!â
âYes, Tony. I know that. I saw. Please donât remind me.â
Happyâs response was curt and Peter heard Tony sigh. âIâm sorry, Happy...I just-- I know what itâs like and I donât want the kid going through everything I did.â
âHe wonât, Tony,â another voice said. That was May. âThey got them all out. His heart is fine.â
âNo thanks to me,â Happy grumbled.
There was the sound of someone back smacked in the arm. âStop that, Happy. You are not blaming yourself for a bomb that someone else left.â
âHe pulled me out of the way. He should have just ran. I should have just known.â
Tony joined in on comforting Happy. âYou were off duty, Happy. You were taking the kid out for the day. You shouldnât have to check for bombs on your car.â
âStill, I should have been more carefulâŠâ
Peter was sick of them all blaming themselves. He was fine. Adults always worried too much. He blinked his eyes open to see Happy and May sitting next to him while Tony paced behind them. They didnât notice his eyes open.
âHey,â he croaked, gaining their attention. âDo you think theyâll let me keep the shrapnel? I wanna show it to Ned. Maybe get MJ a bracelet to match her necklace.â
âPeter, honey!â May rushed forward and wrapped her arms around his neck. She started kissing his cheek over and over.
âI love you too, May,â he said, wincing at all the affection as Happy and Tony just watched. He just survived a bomb attack, he didnât want her to make him seem like a total softie just when he had total badass rep.
âKid, you do that again and I promise I will wring your neck,â Happy promised.
Tony joined in. âShrapnel in your goddamn chest while I had to wait 5 hours to see if you were okay? Do you like to test my heart?â
âYou know, I was hoping to wake up with an arc reactor. Kinda bummed thereâs nothing there.â Peter pouted, watching the fire in Tonyâs eyes glow.
âOh, no! We are not wishing for arc reactors in our chest, Peter Benjamin.â
Peter laughed when he saw the vein in his neck start to pop. That meant it was time to let Tony relax. âIâm joking, Mr. Stark. Promise. About the arc reactor. I still want that shrapnel.â
Tony walked over, shaking his head as he grabbed Peterâs hand and gave it a squeeze. âKid, you gotta stop scaring us old men. Our hearts canât take it. I warned you. I said, donât give Happy a hard time. You seemed to do the exact opposite and if you put my buddy or yourself in the hospital, I will not be a happy camper. Got it?â
Peter rolled his eyes but squeezed Tonyâs hand too. âYeah, yeah, grandpa. I got it.â
âI hate you, Parker.â
âNo, you donât.â Peter grinned.
Tony sniffed, looking away from Peter. âFine. I donât. But youâre getting close. Real close, Spider-Baby.â
relationship(s):Â Steve/Tony, mentioned Superfamily
whumpee: Steve
word count: 1.4k
When Steve was a kid, he wasnât good at much of anything...he wasnât even good at living. He struggled to breathe and walk on a daily basis. If he was outside for just a second too long during the winter, heâd be sick in bed for days.
So attempting to develop any kind of skill would be pointless. He couldnât play ball with the other boys in the street. He couldnât chase any kids around to play tag. He could sit and read, but that wasnât really something to brag about. Everyone could read.
But not everyone could draw.
Neither could he at first. Of course, his mother always complimented his sketches, but as he grew older, he knew they were nothing special. Just any other stick figure drawing a kid could have.
So, he practiced.
He spent his winters, curled up in a blanket with his mom sketching on every open space in his sketchbook. As the months passed, he could tell when his mother started to actually become impressed by his work.
And for once in his life, Steve felt proud of something he did.
That never changed. Even after the serum, his art was always able to make him feel just a little better about himself. When nothing else was going right, at least he had his art.
Until that mission.
The mission that was weeks ago.
He should be fine by now. His serum should have taken care of all the wounds and he should be good as new-- better than new. And for the most part, it did. The gash in his head was closed up and there wasnât even a scar. The burns were long gone. His skin was as smooth as a babyâs.
It didnât scare him at the time. It had been a rough mission and all Steve really remembered was shoving Peter-- as Spider-Man-- out of the way of a falling building. Steve was unconscious for most of it. He woke up hours later in the infirmary, barely remembering anything from the fight.
When he woke up to see Peter staring at him, that look in his eyes let him know whatever happened was not good.
It was a few days before he was awake and coherent at the same time. Then the doctors ran through the list of injuries and what was wrong. He didnât worry about it. Burns healed. Wounds closed. But two words that did scare him were: brain injury.
For the first few weeks, he had just been slower than normal. Slower to answer questions, slower to speak for he didnât stumble through his words, slower to react, slower to move. But he was slowly getting better. The doctors didnât promise a recovery as all brains were different, especially the brain of a super-soldier.
The one thing that wasnât getting better was the shaking. âTremorsâ the doctor called them. His hands didnât constantly shake, but they shook at the worst times.
When he tried cupping Tonyâs cheeks in his hands, they shook.
When he tried clipping Dodgerâs leash on his collar, they shook.
When he tried finishing a puzzle with Peter, they shook.
When he tried drawing, they shookâŠ
When he was with Tony and he noticed the shaking, heâd just take his hands in his and kiss them. Dodger couldnât understand why it was taking Steve longer than normal to get him ready for their morning runs. Peter was always patient even when Steve wanted to just throw the puzzle.
But he drew when he was alone and no one was there to hide his frustrations from. No one was there to calm him down.
He was trying to finish painting a new landscape for Peterâs fishbowl because of course, they had to change it as seasons and holidays changed. He was making one that was more springy and less winter themed. The snow was melting outside and the sun was coming out for longer amounts. He needed to finish this.
But every time he tried to paint the flowers on the grass, his muscles twitched and the paintbrush jerked harshly, ruining the painting. He was on his sixth try when he had such a bad tremor that it caused his brush to make a stroke across half the canvas. And ruin it.
âDammit!â He yelled, throwing the paintbrush to his table. When he was upset, it only made the tremors worse, but he couldnât focus on relaxing when he was so pissed off at everything.
He looked down at his hands as they shook, whether, from the tremor or the anger, he wasnât sure. âCanât you just stop?â He yelled. âCanât you just let me do one thing? One thing Iâm good at?Please. Let me paint this for my son. Itâs not even for me.â
He stared down at them as they continued to shake. They didnât stop until...there was someone grabbing them softly.
He blinked his eyes, trying to clear his blurry vision. His husband was standing in front of him. âTony, when did you get here?â He wanted to pull his hands away and hide them, but Tony held them still.
âFRIDAY told me you were upset. Youâve been doing nothing but staring at your hands for a while nowâŠâ
A while? It didnât feel like more than a few seconds to him. âIâm trying to paintâŠâ
Tony looked down at the table where his discarded mess of a painting was. âThe doctors say it could be a few months...why donât you take it easy?â
Steve grunted, yanking his hands away. They started to shake again. âBecause I took it easy for the first 18 years of my life. I never did anything except draw...and now I canât even do that.â
âSays who?â
Steve rolled his eyes. âLook at it yourself, Tony.â
âMake it into something new. Isnât that what your artist always says? Happy little accidents?â
âDonât use Bob Ross against me,â Steve warned with no heat to his words. âI donât want any accidents because there shouldnât be. I just want it to be like normal.â
Tony turned around to his table and picked up a sketchpad and a pencil. He pushed them to Steveâs chest. âTake that and draw.â
âTony, I canât,â he repeated, frustration bleeding through his voice.
âDo it. Just try.â
Steve huffed loudly so Tony knew he wasnât happy with him before taking the pad and pencil in his hands. He decided to try something simple and just draw his shield. Just a few circles and a star. He could do that with his eyes closed.
Except now, he was only a few seconds into it when his pencil suddenly veered left and ruined his circle. He couldnât even draw a damn circle. His eyes started to burn in humiliation. âI told you I canât do it!â He hated how his voice broke and shook just like his hands. His damn hands-- he felt like a child. He felt like he was 10-years-old again and Bucky was trying to teach him how to hit a baseball and he couldnât even do that.
âKeep drawing, Steve. Donât stop.â
âTony, itâs horrible--.â
âFinish the drawing.â
Steve clenched his jaw and started to drag his pencil across the paper again. When the pencil spiked away from the arc Steve had going, Tony said, âDonât stop,â before Steve could even lift his pencil up. He couldnât stop drawing it until he had it finished.
âThat wasnât so hard, was it?â
âTony, Peter could draw better holding the pencil with his teeth and drawing with his eyes closed.â Steve refused to even look at the drawing.
Chuckling, Tony said, âYouâre giving him a little too much credit, love.â He sighed when Steve didnât react to his comment. âSteve, youâre being too hard on yourself. So, itâs a little shaky. Itâs not going to last forever. And even if it did, itâs still art and itâs still beautiful. No one can take that away from you.â
Steve shook his head. That wasnât beautiful. Not compared to other stuff heâd done.
Tony hovered his hand over Steveâs hand that was holding the pencil. âMay I?â
Steve wasnât sure what he wanted, but he nodded his head anyway.
Tony placed his hand over Steveâs and started to move it across the paper, drawing with the pencil. He lifted his hand a few times when needed and when it shook, Steve wanted to pull away of embarrassment, but Tony held his hand through the twitches until they were finished. Even as they admired their work, still he held Steveâs hand.
âLooks good doesnât it?â
Steve laughed down at the doodle. It was a messy heart with the initials T and S written inside it.
âYou know,â Tony said softly, resting his chin on Steveâs shoulder. âI think that may be my favorite piece youâve ever done.â
Steve hated that he couldn't help but smile. "Yeah. Me too."
