Chapter 5
After laying down he tried to go to sleep but all he could do was remember back when he was in high school, it was his last week of school, just a few days after Ned had died, he was having lunch alone since M.J had moved just 2 days before, he was alone now. he was sitting there finishing up a final essay that his bio teacher asked him to do, when flash walked up and started with his usual bull shit.
"whats up penis" he said taking the apple off of peters plate
"Not today flash, please just not today" peter said, if it was anyone but flash they would have heard the sadness in his voice an would have backed off, but it was flash.
"Whats the matter penis, being an orphan just too much for you today, mommy not home this morning to change your diapers" flash sneered, everyone just looked on in complete bewilderment, everyone had heard about Ned, they felt bad for peter, and then M.J moved, they felt even worse, but flash seemed to either not know or to not care.
"please flash, not today" before flash talked again he shoved peter into the cafeteria wall and pinned him there
"wah wah wah listen to the baby Parker cry, ill give you something to cry about" he said as he raised his fist and swung, peter not caring just let it hit him, flash hit him a few more times before peter started to talk
"Does that make you feel better flash, beating on a guy that doesn't even care anymore, you're life is so pathetic that you have to make others worse for enjoyment" he paused, expecting flash to hit him again "you know, you obsess over spider-man but you're the type of person he fights" he said, again stopping, expecting flash to hit him again, flash draws his fist back but as he swings everything slows down and Ned appears beside him
"Come on man, you're spider-man and you gonna let him just wail on you and get away with it, come on, just one punch, thats all it'd take, come on, at least one before schools over" Ned's ghost thing what ever the fuck said, it then disappeared and time went back to normal, as flash's fist collided with his face it snapped him out of his daze.
"Ahhh, Fuck it" Peter said, still pinned up against the cafeteria wall, he swept flash's feet out from under him, watching him fall in what felt like slow motion, he went to walk away as blood ran down his face, going to walk out the door to the outside he heard flash get up and charge towards him, yelling
"THIS ISNT OVER YET PENIS PARKER" hearing his feet hitting the ground getting closer and closer and at a certain point his spider-sense told him to doge, so he did, he back-flipped over him causing flash to run straight into the door, knocking the door open and stumbling out of it, peter followed him out side and stepped over him, laying on the floor.
"Get over yourself flash, you wouldn't be able to take me down on your best day and my worst, all you're doing is embarrassing yourself" he said walking away
"Hey peter, are you ok?" he heard someone ask "i couldnt sleep so i went to go get water and i heard you yelling" the figured revealed themselves to be Wanda, as she walked to the foot of his bed he sat up
"uh yeah im fine.. just a bad dream" he said
"Ill be honest with you peter, i had one too. what was yours about"
"Ned, what about your's" he questioned
"my brother pietro, i was back in Sokovia, watching him die" she said as she started to cry, peter wrapped his arms around her and hushed her, the same way he would when Morgan had a bad dream.
"it's ok, im right here" he said as she leaned her head into his lap, they sat like this for a while until he realized Wanda was asleep, realizing this he fell asleep too.
it was what felt like 4 minutes before they were awoken by Clint falling through peters roof. peter had awoke just before he fell due to his spider-sense, just in time for him to grab Wanda and dive off the bed as Clint fell from the vents and onto the bed
"WHAT THE HELL CLINT" he yelled as he realized what happened, Wanda waking up to dusk everywhere and Clint on the bed while she was being held by peter bridal style, still snuggled up against him
"hey there love birds, how'd ya sleep" he joked as he rolled off the bed and brushed the dust off himself, "breakfast is ready" he said before walking out the door.
"peter" Wanda groaned, still half asleep "What happened"
"Clint just fell through the ceiling" he said slightly annoyed
"oh.. OK" she said acting as if it was completely normal, which it was, during the time peter didn't live at the compound it was practically a daily occurrence "Peter put me down" wanda said, peter not realizing he was still holding her said
"oh.. right yeah" and he set her down " lets go get breakfast"
"Good idea" they agreed and left the giant mess that Clint had caused and went to the kitchen, upon walking in the could smell the food, it was french toast, eggs, bacon, and sausage. when they walked in Wanda sat down as peter grabbed them both a plate as she asked him to do for her. they sat and ate in silence before bucky walked in and said
"Dont take this the wrong way but why are you guys covered in white stuff"
"Clint" they said at the same time
"Wow peter didnt know you were into guys man" sam joked, as peter quickly grew tired of it he grabbed his plate and went to the elevator and left to work in the lab
"Jeez whats got his panties in a bunch" nat said sipping her coffee
"Youd be that way too if someone crashed through your ceiling" Barton remarked, also covered in the white dust from the ceiling
"there's also the factor of you guys treating him like he didnt exist for a while" Wanda snapped
Sam confused said "Whats the scary witch lady talking about" he said looking at pepper
"after tony died you guys didnt talk to him unless it was about food being done or needing help with your gear" she said getting Morgan a small helping of food
"he vanished for two months, completely off the radar, and he didnt get a single text or phone call from anyone but pepper" Wanda said walking out of the room and towards hers
"fair enough" sam said and most of them nodded in agreement
Peter, down working in the lab heard the elevator din and out of it stepped the winter soldier
"What's wrong with your arm this time" he questioned
"nothing, just came to see how you're doing"
"oh, so know you care, i take it Wanda and Pepper had enough of your guy's shit and yelled at you" he said turning back to is computer and started typing again
"Hey, we always cared, we just didn't know how to show it, you reminded everyone of tony and what he was so much that it hurt we jus-" he got cut off by peter's phone going off, peter of course not really caring about the conversation answered it and walked away.
"hey man i got a job for you" It was wade "id do it but im still in Tokyo"
"yeah man whats up" peter said, after about 10 minutes of wade explaining it he ended the call and went over to a console in the middle if the lab, pressing a sequence of buttons allowed a floor panel to open up and a case with his new suit to rise up from the floor
"Where did that come from" Bucky asked but peter ignored, putting the suit on and heading towards his car
"I've got a job i have to go do real quick. ill be back eventually" he said as he slide his weapons into their places and getting into the car and peeling off
About it was around 10:00 when peter returned, boy did he make an entrance. his mission didn't go entirely south, just a lot more guns than he thought. he had to leave his car in New York because A. he was in no condition to drive and B. the way he got out was a plane flying low enough four him to web to it, he clung to it as long as he could before he jumped off and started gliding, it was going to be about 20 minutes of gliding before he reached the compound, bleeding the entire time there, once he saw the compound his vision got blurry and he got really dizzy, the last thing he remembered was him approaching the windows and just before he crashed through them he blacked out
THE COMPOUND: ABOUT 5 MINUTES BEFORE
They were all siting around joking having fun, some with beer others with just soda they were playing board games, Bucky and Sam playing battle ship while Nat, Wanda, Pepper and Morgan played candy land, Bruce was in his lab as always and Clint was just lounging on the couch playing darts from there. they were having fun, until they heard Friday say "Transmission From Mr. Parker"
"Play it" Wanda said
"YO... GUYS M...T WANT TO ...T AWAY FROM THE WINDOWS" they heard, with all the wind it was hard to hear with all of the wind but they all scrambled from the windows as peter crashed through them as his metal arms deployed breaking his fall
"Peter" Pepper gasped as she ran towards him, his injures weren't a a lot, mostly just some cuts here and there, the reason he passed out was because of the high altitude he was at with the plane, the changes in oxygen levels was to fast, also the extreme blood loss, but he was up and going only 10 minutes later. After changing out of his suit and assuring everyone he was ok he joined them for some games, he even tried to out drink Wanda but they both gave up about 5 shots in.it was almost 2 am before they decided to call it a night, peter realizing he still has a hole in his ceiling he turns to Wanda
"can i slep wit yu tongiht" he slurred, after getting confirmation they walked down to her room leaning on each other for support, after they finally got there, they both stumbled at least twice each, they opened the door and just flopped onto the bed, Wanda doing the same right next to him.
