    Summary

    Peter… wasn’t exactly sure how he’d gotten here.

    The room was dark, and silent, except for the repetitive thump-thump of a heartbeat from somewhere beside him. It sounded like the low beat of Mr. Stark’s heart, with a moment too long passing every second beat since the arc reactor had been removed. That, and the smell of motor oil and fancy cologne.

    His head throbs, and his muscles ache. He feels like he’s just lost a fight with a brick wall, or several. There’s crusted blood on his upper lip as well as his temple. He can feel it matted in his hair, and he wants nothing more than to take a shower right now.

    Looking around a little more, Peter realises that he doesn’t even know where they are. The room is nearly pitch black which makes it impossible to make anything out. He thinks he’s tied to some sort of cheap plastic chair; his hands are bound behind his back with a mess of rope and some thin metal handcuffs - so he assumes his identity is safe. No way whoever this was would leave him in just metal handcuffs if they knew he had his powers.

    Then, a huff of noise off to his side.

    “Mr Stark,” he blurts, panicked. “I think we might’ve been kidnapped.”

    Summary

    The guard stared at him for a moment, blue eyes blown wide behind his mask.

    It was then the Pythia looked down at the hand outstretched between them. The prosthetic was made of intricately carved metal, covered in vines and flowers twisting together with the shimmer of enchantments reflecting in the purple glow.

    And although the guard’s sleeve was covering his wrist, he knew that in the place where metal met flesh, there was a pair of dark angel wings tattooed on his skin.

    He was right. This wasn’t a real guard.

    This was a Deathling.

    or, Wilbur is an oracle known as the Pythia, chosen to receive dreams of the future from the goddess Clara. One day, he receives a dream warning him that during a ball Emperor Schlatt is hosting, the Deathlings—terrorists who worship the goddess of Death—will launch an attack. When his warning goes ignored, he knows there's going to be consequences.

    He doesn't expect one of those consequences to include him getting kidnapped by a teenager.
