Chapter Text
Tony gets halfway downstairs when someone runs into him.
"Are you ok?? i heard an explosion."
Bruce asks calmly but with a concerned tone.
"Fine. just pissed." tony says as he continues walking. bruce follows him.
they get to the main room. Everyone is already in there.
"Why'd Friday call us in here?" natasha asks.
"Because peter is in danger, and May is too."
A wave of silence passed over the room as everyone took in what was just said. The youngest avenger in their group. the *kid* is in danger.
Steve finally speaks, "what can we do?" he asks as everyone looks to tony.
"And whos attacking him??" bruce adds.
"Im not sure..." Tony says gloomily.
"What if we put a security detail on May and Peter?" Vision asks.
"Yeah, i can stay with peter, and steve can stay with May." Natasha says simply. "Im not sure peter will want a bodyguard" steve says. "what if he tries to avoid us?"
"Then we wont tell him." Tony says, looking very serious.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Peter, ned, and Mj are still standing next to the door. Not knowing what to say, or where to go. Peter is still listening, just incase something else was hidden.
"Peter?" ned wispers, "what happened"
Peter just stares at the wall as mj sits down. Peter doesnt really know what happened. I mean, he knows but it doesnt feel real. he only now connects the dots that someones after him, because
1: may is in the hospital
2: peter was shot with a bullet that would probably kill most people
and 3: that explotion.
His mind is spinning, his eyes cant focus, his body feels like a board, but then-
light tapping on his shoulder "peter?" Mj asks, hoping for his attention.
Peter looks at her and immediately forgets everything.
Mj is crying, eyes red and she doesnt know what to do. so peter hugs her. arms wrapped around, her head on his chest, his chin ontop of her head. the warmest hugs. and they just stay like that. because they dont have anywhere to go, and they both need something to hold onto right now.
Ned walks to the bathroom, and when he comes back, mj and peter are sitting on the floor now. Peter against the wall, holding Mj, and Mj laying on peters lap, falling asleep. Ned walks over quietly.
"is she ok?" he wispers
"she'll be fine, just got scared for a minute" peter wispers back, something twinkles in his eyes, but ned just shrugs it off.
About 20 minutes have passed when Tony comes starts coming upstairs. He opens his mouth to talk when he sees Ned frantically waving his arms. "shhh be quiet, theyre both asleep" he wispers, just barely loud enough for tony to hear.
He looks down and sees Mj asleep with her head on peters lap, and Peter asleep against the wall with his hand on her shoulder. Tony grabs his phone and takes a few pictures before quietly walking into the room. Ned follows.
"think he'll be scared of lego sets now?" Tony asks, partly joking.
"Maybe... i just hope he doesnt get hurt again." Ned says with a shrug. "Im sad when peter gets hurt, but the look on Mj's face is just pure terror."
"its like she wants to stay with him, but also rip everyones head off" Tony says while chuckling.
"Exactly!!!" Ned responds
Ned grabs a blanket off peters bed and walks outside of the room for a minute, then comes back. "so what's happening" ned asks while putting the ruined lego sets in a box. Some of the peices might not be destroyed; so you could still build with them.
"whats happening is peter is in danger and i still dont know who the bit- bad guy is" Tony corrects himself quickly. He knows that they dont care, but it still feels wrong swearing infront of children.
"maybe the guy who knocked peter off a building last year?" ned offers. "WHAT?!" Tony says, louder than he meant to.
