War in Love

Every step I take, 
Every fallen tear, 
weaves another lie, a curse I will bear

The pale Full Moon 

"Do you want to help me build an epic lego death star?" said his best friend, Ned. Peter immediately closes his locker, and turns toward ned with wide eyes "Really?" 

"Yes, it's cool, dude,  you have to come to my house after this school," Ned said excitedly.

"Uhm sorry ned I can't, but give me 2 hours after school and I'll come to your house!" Peter said. 

"Oh yeah, today is Tuesday, your schedule is with cooper and piano," Ned said.

Peter just smiled. He was lucky that cooper's parents paid him to teach Cooper how to play the piano every Tuesday and Saturday. so He can earn money for his life. For example, to pay a  lunch at his school.

"Penis Parker!"

Peter knows very well that voice, a voice that can make him scared. Peter chooses not to turn around and continues to walk quickly towards his chemistry classroom. Ned tries to follow in peter's footsteps, he knows very well what his best friend will face every time he meets flash and his friends.

"Hey hey hey, I'm calling you, Penis," said flash once he managed to chase after peter and grab his shoulder, enough to make him stop. and the other flash friends surround Peter and Ned. They want to show that they are in power.

"Leave him alone, Flash!" Ned shouting at Flash.

"Woah... Woah, this nerdy decided to intervene now huh?" Say Flash while pushing Ned.

Peter immediately pushes Flash when he sees Ned fall to the floor, "hey don't touch him!"

Flash gets angry after Peter bravely pushes him. Peter, Flash hates Peter so much. He is well aware that Peter is just an orphan and he is lucky to get a scholarship at this school.   Peter, Peter, Peter. He's always been number one in this school. The teachers have always been proud of him. Hell, even his parents always talk about Peter at home. They praised him and said that Flash couldn't be like Peter. Why should he be like Peter? The right place for poor and orphaned kids like him to be under his feet.

Flash glances at his two friends, signaling for them to hold Peter.  Peter's trying to fight back. Ned keeps screaming to let Peter go. But another flash friend, hold him so he can't help Peter. Flash raised his hand and punched him hard on his stomach. Peter gasps in pain and clenches his stomach while kneeling on both legs. Flash raised Peter's chin rudely, "You deserve this, don't you ever try to ignore me again, Penis," he said, and then he pushing and leaving him.

"Oh my God, Peter. Are you okay? Ned asks him and holds Peter's shoulder, trying to make sure he's okay.

I'm fine Ned" said Peter in a trembling voice.

He wanted to cry, and damn, it hurts so much. But he didn't want to miss a single class. He was lucky enough to get a scholarship at this school. He didn't want to waste it.

"We have to report this to the teacher, Peter you can not let him do this to you" insisted Ned.

"No Ned, what if he bullies other people who can't take it? I'm fine," said Peter reassuring his friend.

"No Peter and I can't see you like this, I will tell the teacher about Flash"

"No, Ned Please. I'm fine, I can take it" He stood on trembling legs. Luckily Ned helped him up and walked with him towards the chemical room. Peter can't jeopardize his scholarship. He didn't want to lose his scholarship because of Flash. Flash parents are one of the biggest contributors to this school. Of course, the school will defend Flash rather than Peter.

"have you got a clue where my son is?" asked Tony firmly to the two detectives in front of him. Steve Rogers and Natasha Romanoff.

"We're still looking for him Tony" replied Steve.

"Looking for him? For years, and I don't know where my son is .. how-"

"That night, the CCTV in Darrel's room was off, there were no windows or doors that were damaged," said Nat sternly cutting off Tony's conversation.

"So what do you thinking about it, Romanoff, I can’t be patient anymore. 10 years my wife cried for our son. And 10 years she lived without a life" said Tony frustrated.

"Darrel's kidnapper is the person who lives in your house, Tony," Steve replied firmly.

"We've eliminated the list of your servants and bodyguards who were in your house that night. There is one person who has the most perfect alibi," said Nat.

Then nat took out a photo.

"Christian, Mrs. Stark, and Darrel's bodyguards," said Nat confidently.

"Shit," said Rhodey who had been busy digesting their discussion.

"Are you sure about it?" said Tony in a trembling voice.

Christian is his most loyal bodyguard. He's been with the Starks since Tony was a teenager. Tony's face turned pale, how could he be so naive. In the morning when Darrel disappeared, no one saw Christian. In fact, he gave himself up to be punished for not being able to protect Darrel.

"You can punish me, sir. Please kill me, I have failed to protect Mr. Darrel" Christian says, kneeling in Tony's office.

Three years after Darrel disappeared. Christian decides to resign. With the excuse that he could no longer remember his biggest mistake. And promised to keep looking for Darrel.

"Currently we are looking for where Christian is," said Steve.

The eyes of everyone in the room were looking at the monitor screen showing CCTV footage, the car walked out of the gates of the billionaire's house at night in the pouring rain. Tony felt his anger rise in his chest.

"Find my son Rogers," said Tony in a trembling voice.

"Are you sure you're okay, man?" asked Ned before leaving Peter at the school gate.

"Ned you've already asked this question hundreds of times even during lunch. I'm fine Ned" said Peter, staring annoyed at his best friend.

"Okay", said Ned giving up "but please call me if you feel sick, and don't forget to come to my home today"

"Yeah okay, see you, Ned," said Peter, then he looked at the clock, good, there is still 1 hour left before Cooper class starts he thought.

The clinking sound of a cup of coffee is placed on the table brought Tony away from his thoughts. He caught a glimpse of the cup of coffee before finally giving up and closing the CCTV video he had been seeing all day. Tony rose from his chair before his best friend, Rhodey stop him.

"No, no. You stop there, sit back and eat your sandwich," Rhodey ordered.

Tony listened and sat back down. Lift a glass of coffee and drink it. And he disappeared again in his mind.

"What's on your mind tones? Mind to share with me?" Rhodey asked, even though he knows what has always been on the mind of the billionaire in these 10 years,  Darrel.

"Yesterday, Darrel was thirteen years old, I wondered what Darrel would look like now?" Said Tony while looking at his empty coffee glass.

"I'm sure he's very cute and well-behaved like his uncle," Rhodey said proudly

"You know Platypus, he always looks like me," said Tony not to be outdone.

"shit. you're right. I wish he was like pepper. But he always looks like you with a more adorable version than you" said Rhodey

Tony only smiled faintly at that. Darrel is his son, while other boys will become clingy to his mother. Darrel is always clingy to Tony.  He always ran towards Tony before Pepper.

"He must be the center of attention right now," Rhodey grumbled.

Tony immediately looked at Rhodey. "What do you mean?" He asked.

"I mean with the talent he has, playing the piano, oh and don't forget his cleverness in science," Rhodey explained.

Tony tried to think his best friend's words in his brain. "Rhodey you just gave me an idea, thanks buddy," said Tony as he hurriedly put on his coat and headed for the exit. Meanwhile, Rhodes just looked at him in confusion.

"Wait wait, at least explain to me first," said Rhode.

"I'll give Pepper an IMC ticket shows at the Carnegie hall," Tony said excitedly.

"Yes and? Please help me, I do not understand here" Asked Rhodes frustratedly

"At least pepper can be more relaxed, Rhodey," said Tony as he put his hand on Rhodey's shoulder, "okay bye," he said then left Rhode. 

"I still don't understand what you mean!" Said Rhode, but Tony didn't hear it. 

Finally, Peter arrived at Cooper's house, Peter immediately knocked on the door of the house.
"Hi Peter, Cooper is waiting for you," said Mrs. Barton kindly.

"Hi Mrs. Barton, sorry I made Cooper wait," Peter said panicked

"You don't need to apologize dear, you're not late, it's just that Cooper can't wait to meet you," said Laura explained.

"Cooper, Peter's here" shouted Mrs. Barton calling her son.

"You can eat this sandwich while waiting for Cooper," said Mrs. Barton softly after Peter took off his jacket and put down his backpack.

"I'm fine Mrs. Barton, thank you," said Peter trying to refuse the sandwich.

"No, I insisted you, Peter," said Mrs. Barton as she put the sandwich on the plate in front of Peter, then gently ruffled Peter's hair and rushed to his son's room.

Peter smiled at her. In his heart, he was very grateful to get the food that day. He always couldn't eat his lunch at school because of Flash.

Cooper's attention was distracted when he saw his father. "Dad" shouted the kid and ran towards his father.

and suddenly Peter remembers his dream, Peter recalling himself in a smaller version than Cooper running towards his father just like Cooper did.

"Peter" called Mr. Barton.

"Ah Good evening Mr. Barton," said Peter back from his reverie.

"Good evening Peter and please Call me Clint, Peter," said Mr. Barton, smiling.

"Yes, Mr. Clint," said Peter, making Mrs. Barton and Mr. Clint laugh at him.

"Peter said today I played it well, right Peter?" Ask Cooper asked for his approval.

"Of course Cooper, you play it perfectly," said Peter

Clint was grateful to know Peter when he visited the Carnegie Hall two months ago. Clint always felt familiar with Peter from the moment he met.

"I'm better than Lila," Cooper said teasing his sister until the two Barton kids ran around in the living room. Lila is trying to chasing after her brother, Cooper.

"Okay okay that's enough," said Mr. Barton, stopping his children and hugging them.

Seeing this, Peter's heart felt warm. He doesn't know the last time he was hugged by his parents. Isn't it sad, Peter doesn't know his biological parents. and Peter even doesn't remember his adopted parents Richard and Mary Parker. Peter only remembers Uncle Ben and Aunt May. 

I also want my father and mother to hug me, he thought.

"Oh right, I registered Cooper and Peter in an international Music Competition at Carnegie Hall," said Mr. Clint excitedly.

Then Peter sees Cooper cheered and jumped with joy, the boy was looking forward to this competition.

"Wait, Mr. Barton, I don't have to, you.. you don't have to register me," Peter said nervously. Peter knew very well he could not afford the registration fee for the international competition.

"No, you can't refuse this, after all, you will not compete with each other, cooper will compete at the junior level while you will compete at the senior level," said Mr. Clint explaining.

"But Mr. Clint, I really, you don't have to," said Peter, still trying to refuse it.

"Peter just thinks that this is your birthday present from us," said Mrs. Barton gently, and handing over the completed registration form for Peter.

Peter look at Mr. Clint and Mrs. Laura who smiled at him. Peter received it with trembling hands, he did not expect the bartons Family to be so nice to him.
"Thank you, Mr. Clint and Mrs. Laura," said Peter in a trembling voice.

Laura smiled and rubbed Peter's cheek lightly. And Peter kept the document very carefully in his backpack. And get ready to go to the dining table. The barton family always forced Peter to eat together before leaving the barton family house.

"Hello, Tony? What's up, man?" said clint after he picks up a call from his friend, Tony.

"Thank you, Mr. Clint, Mrs. Laura," said Peter kindly

"See you on Saturday, kid," said Mr. Clint.

"See you," said Peter as he walked out of the Barton house after a high five with Cooper.

"Who is that?" Tony asked curiously to hear a strange voice at his friend's house, clint.

"Oh, that's Peter, my son's piano Coach," said Clint

"Ah yes, Peter, you told me about him before," said Tony, remembering a talk with Clint about Peter before,  “Speaking of piano, can you get tickets for the International Music Competition for me and Pepper?"

Clint sighed deeply, he knew what had happened to his best friend's family, that's why he never asked how his friend was doing. Because no parent can lose a child. And clint knows very well.

"Okay Tony, I'll get that ticket for you and pepper, oh and also you have to support Cooper," said clint excitedly.

"Of course Clint. Okay, great, see you Legolas" said Tony and hung up the phone.

Peter was walking further afield to return to his apartment that day. Ned had just informed him that he had to accompany his mother to the hospital to treat his grandfather who had suddenly fallen because of his heart disease.

After many times he apologized and after many times also Peter said that it was okay if their schedule to build Lego with him should be postponed. Finally, ned was calmed down.

Peter walked down the street without hurrying even though the sky was getting dark. Who else will be waiting for him in the apartment?

Peter was very lucky, the Parker family left the apartment and little savings for Peter. After Richard and Marry died, Uncle Ben (Richard's younger brother) and Aunt May raised him, but sadly Uncle Ben and Aunt May passed away six months ago due to a traffic accident.
Peter, who was at Ned's house at that time, had to go back into the foster home. Until finally decided to run away after 3 months of always getting violence in there. His best friend, Ned, is quite a genius at faking Peter's data. Peter is currently known to live with Sophia Parker who is the younger sister of Ben Parker and Richard Paker, and also just a figure of Peter's imagination.

Suddenly he heard the crowd laughing. Peter ran in the direction of the voice, and seeing a mute woman begging for her bag to be returned, she tries to grab the bag from the man's hand. then someone from the boy wants to throw the bag towards the lake and Peter immediately jumped to catch the bag. "Hey leave her alone" Peter shouted at them.

"Well well, penis parker"
Peter froze when he heard the voice, Flash.

"Leave her alone, Flash. why you always being mean to other people?" said Peter trying to cover his trembling voice. and then Peter Throwing the bag back at the woman "RUN" said Peter to the woman and moving his hand pointing towards the road.

Flash who saw that felt very angry, but he let the woman run away. Then Flash immediately turned towards Peter and hit Peter's eye, his friends grabbed Peter's hand and held him to his knees.

Flash grabbed Peter's hair until Peter looked up at him "Stop disturbing my life, Penis" he said then kicked Peter in the chest.
Peter rolled to protect himself from the flash kick and his friends.

Then Peter felt his body being lifted "Please Flash, don't" said Peter begging, but Flash and his friends, throwing Peter into the cold lake.

Peter tried to ask for help, "help please" he said, but flash and his friends just laughed at him, and then in a panic, Peter saw them walk away. "Help me"

He tried not to drown in this lake. But this lake was very cold and making Peter's body stiff. Peter felt water fill his chest.
"Dad!" cried Peter before drowning.
