I know
The group watches in silence.They watch,as guilt builds inside each of them.Guilt for not helping,guilt for not knowing what to do and Guilt for knowing they can't fix it.Sobbing consumes the air.Lightning strikes down outside.Loki looks over at his brother.Never before had he seen Thor so distraught.
Peter soon falls asleep.His arms wrapped tightly around Clint,His head still buried in Clint's neck. "I'll go put him in bed." Clint says.Standing up carefully, as to not wake the teen.Walking down the corridor to the elevator gave Clint time to think.
In the time that Clint had known Peter The elder had never seen Peter cry.Yes,Peter would sniffle when they watched the Lion King or if he was trying to get Tony to do something with him.But the boy didn't sob,He didn't cry when he got hurt badly.
So seeing Peter sob his heart out,seeing Peter hold onto him desperately wanting comfort,Seeing Peter so broken.It hurt.Clint would do anything to make sure he never saw that again.
The elevator finally arrived on the 7th floor.Once in Peter's room, Clint gently sat Peter down on the soft bed and pulled the comforter over Peter's body.
"Hey,Jarvis"Clint asks." Yes,Clint?"Jarvis asks in his somewhat soothing,British accent. "Tell us when Petey wakes up"Clint says walking over to the door and turning off the lights." Will do,sir"Jarvis replies.
"How's Peter?" Steve asks when Clint walks back into the living room.Clint sighs and plops onto the couch he had originally been sitting on. "Something happened to him." Clint runs a hand through his hair. "Something bad,Really bad." A somber mood fills the air.The TV buzzed in the background. "Peter got really tense when Skip Westcott appeared on the tv."Clint points out. "Mr.Stark,there is an incoming call from Ms.Parker." Jarvis says,his voice loud against the silence.Tony walks off to take the call.
"Ms.Parker." He says,forcing his voice to sound happy."" Hey,Tony. "May says." I was just wondering how Peter's doing." "Peter just fell asleep." Tony pauses,looking over at the group of avengers solemnly sitting in silence. "Hey,does Peter happen to know a Skip Westcott?" Tony asks. "Huh"May goes silent for a moment." Uh..Yeah.He used to Babysit Peter when he was eight.Why does it matter?"She asks,obviously puzzled. "No reason just wondering." Tony says the phone call soon ends.
"So apparently Westcott used to Babysit Peter." Tony reveals to the rest of the group.Wanda walks over to Peitro and sits down next to him.She squeezes his hand.His violet eyes meet hers. "I think I know what happened."Peitro whispers to her.Her eyebrows quirk up. "How do you know?" She asks, voice barely above a whisper.
He looks up at her, eyes glossed over with tears.
"The same thing happened to me"
