Chapter Text
Stars shone over his head and the moon illuminated his path, just like always. Ever since he had become Spiderman he had been paying more attention to the sky above him, it was magical and he could try and reach the stars while swinging. Maybe tío Aaron was watching over him.
The streets were calm or at least as they could get on week days, he was going to have to cut his patrol short due to the pile of homework waiting for him on his desk. But swinging was better than doing the school work of a subject he didn´t really like .
Maybe he should call his dad and ask how his day had been, they had fought the other day and he was still waiting for the perfect moment to apologize. Even if they fought a lot over almost everything his father was still always there for him, when he was upset he would make him some tea - which they had already ran out of, he should buy more tomorrow - and talk to him until he felt better.
But life always takes unexpected turns. The web of life is really complicated and there´s no way to escape one´s destiny.
Eveything happened too fast, one second he was in the air and the next he was already hitting the floor. He was swinging close to the floor when a car hit him full force.
It hurt a lot everywhere. His vision was blurry, one of his arms felt weak and the other hurt so much he would rather not have it and he could hear people talking around him but he couldn´t really make out what they were saying. That was definitely concerning.
When he opened his eyes once more there were even more people around him, and a police car right beside an ambulance. His vision was getting worse by the moment, and then there were paramedics moving him and a police man right beside him, and the pain got worse. So bad that he lost consciousness once again.
Being a cop was usually just what he had expected, dangerous but rewarding in the sense they made society better. The only problem was that he didn´t want his family to worry about him in any way so he would usually patrol with another oficer, but tonight he was alone.
Jeff was having a calm and boring night. Patrolling the city, ready to answer any call he got.
And after a few minutes he was informed about a car accident in which Spiderman somehow got involved. That was a shocker because he was sure the so called hero didn't even have the age requirement to get a driving license much less own a car.
But when he arrived at the scene he wasn't expecting to see that he had been hit by a car. It looked bad enough that an ambulance had already been called and arrived some seconds after him, they would have to take him to the hospital immediatly.
So without second thought he walked just behind the paramedics, they checked him without taking his mask off and in the blink of an eye they were already in their way to the Emergency Room.
He wasn´t allowed to go with the kid. He was sure that Spiderman was young, probably as old as his own son. He was going to wait there for the kid to be awake again or maybe he could ask a nurse for the kid´s phone so he could contact his parents.
Maybe his wife could help him with that, keep him informed of the situation and convince him this wasn´t his son. Miles should be asleep in his dorm room right now, but just in case he would call him once he had spoken with his wife.
There were many superstitions surrounding hospitals, but Rio liked to think it made the place unique. Many lifes started and ended there, and that was fascinating. How could one building bring so much joy and the same such despair.
She loved her job but it was sometimes too much, the long shifts and the intense emotions were the only things sge didn´t really enjoy.
Her night shift had been calm - Don´t think about it you´ll jinx it - . She was looking forward to see her husband in the morning, cooking breakfast and finally going to sleep.
She didn´t really enjoy working in the ER. The shifts there are either too calm and boring or too nerve wracking, but still this was part of her job. And she was doing probably the worst task making sure they had enough supplies, she had been in the storage room for a while now but she would have to go for some gauze packages and some saline solution.
But when she returned the only person that she never wanted to see in the hostipal or more specifially in the ER was here in the waiting room.
Had something happened? Was he hurt? Was this about another officer? About Miles? - no that coouldn´t be the school have called her - What was wrong then?
She approached him trying to not look worried, but he looked distant like he just saw something he shouldn´t have.
"Amor, what´s wrong?"
He hugged her, "I- I, its Spiderman he´s here and he´s in- he´s severely injured, the other doctors were saying something about fractures, concussions and sprains. That´s bad right? I- I"
"It depends but I could gather more information, I´ll ask the rest of the nurses. You might want to go to the cafeteria have some water and food, and I´ll go looking for you in a while"
She gave him a peck on his check, and waited until his husband was out of sight. What in hell happened that made her partner so upset?
Well she would have to investigate and she knew the best place to start, the nurses´ station.
