Chapter Text

Peter swings on a rooftop looking over Queens, he’s looking for some old lady to help cross the street or help a kid get their cat out of the tree, when he hears a rumbling coming from the ground. His spider-sense spikes. Not that fun anymoreCODEREDCODEREDCODEREDCODERED!

“Spider-man”

Peter whips his head around so fast he might as well get whip lash. ‘Who is this guy?’ Peter thinks as he sees a man built like a brick wall with an axe across his back.

“Sorry man! I'm not taking walkins right now!” “you can make an appointment at the avengers tower!” peter giggles

“You laugh now boy. But you won't be soon.”

“If that was supposed to be a threat, you're going to have to up your game my guy!” Peter's spider-sense blares as he does a back-flip to avoid his legs getting swiped out from under him.

“Woah! What's the big idea!?” Peter yells. Suddenly an explosion goes off about two miles from where they are. Peter runs towards the explosion forgetting about the villain of the day. He’s mid swing when his spider-sense goes off again. Peters gets annoyed by how many times his sense is going off today.

“And the spider goes down the water spout.” the villain says.

…

Wait.

‘Shit! The villain!’ Peter thinks just as he gets slammed mid-swing down into an alleyway, hearing his arm brake ‘well shit’.

Peter gets up now holding his arm close to his chest and the baddie of the day drops down into the alleyway with Peter.

“Hey, you know I never got your name.” “What should I call you? Mr.Snuggles?”

That gets a sneer for the baddie

“You're a funny kid. Hate to see you lose, Peter.”

…

Peter freezes.

“how do you know my name.” Peter says now taking on a more serious tone

“Peter, I suggest contacting boss” Karen says. Peter shakes his head knowing that Karen can't see him but probably gets the drift.

“Oh how I'd hate for anything to happen to that dear aunt of yours.”

‘Who is this guy!?’. Peter’s the one sneering this time.

“I'm vortex by the way. But you're not going to need to know that sense you're not leaving this alley.”

CODEREDCODEREDCODERED

Pain fills Peter's vision when he's slammed against the brick wall. ‘This is going to hurt’. He gets punched in the face multiple times, definitely breaking his nose. Making Peter wonder if this guy is enhanced.
Suddenly Peter is getting slammed into a wall so hard that he goes through it. ‘Yep definitely enhanced’.

they're now in a big warehouse with very tall ceilings, ‘why is it always warehouses?’

Vortex is stalking forward when Peter sees an opportunity and decides to take it. Peter takes a pole that was conveniently put there and slams it into Vortex's side, only dipping to about 15% of Peter's strength, but it seems like it's enough. Vortex falls to the ground making a big boom sound.

“Peter, I highly advise you to contact boss” Karen says

“Ow dude! That hurt!” he says ignoring Karen

Peter stands up and stumbles towards the closest wall. ‘Aunt may and tony are going to be so mad’

Vortex gets up and Peter's spider-sence is blaring again .As Vortex walks towards him Vortex pulls out his axe. ‘Maybe I should call Mr.Stark’. Just as
Vortex gets near him Peter gets up and uppercuts him. He does it so fast Vortex doesn't even see him. Vortex stumbles to the ground again but not before he grabs his ax and swings it towards Peter's legs. Peter jumps narrowly avoiding the axe but not before the axe collides with his calf. Making blood gush out of his leg. Peter quickly shoots his webs to stop the bleeding but it only slows it down.

“Karen”

“Yes, Peter?”

“Call Mr.Stark”

"Of course Peter.”

Ring

Vortex starts to get up and move towards Peter again like can’t this guy get a break?

“running to daddy?”

Ring

‘come on Mr. Stark pick up’

Vortex leans down and picks up his axe

Ring

Peter checks web cartridges, he used a lot of Webs just screwing around in New York so he's got about half left of webs

Ring

‘Whatever’ Peter jumps up and swings throughout the roof taking in his environment trying to ignore the pain throughout his body as he swings. Vortex looks startled about how high Peter can jump but ultimately gets over it quickly and makes another move to attack.

Ring

Vortex tries to jump up and grab Peter out of the air but ultimately misses and gives into gravity as he falls back down to the ground.

Ring

Peter tries to gain as much momentum as he can and lands feet first on the vortex back, breaking his back. paint shoots throughout Peter's leg as he forgot about his injury and blood starts gushing out of his wound again.

“Kid?”

“hey Mr. Stark” he wheezes

“What's going on?” Tony says seriously

“ Well you see,” Peter says slowly easing into unconsciousness “ I kinda went up against a big bad, and got my ass kicked”

“ Karen give me a report”

“ Of course boss, Peter currently has a laceration across his left calf, a concussion, a broken arm that his healing factor is trying to work on now and a gash at the back of his head”.

‘When did I have a gash at the back of my head?’ Peter reaches his hand up to touch the back of his head and feels shocked when he feels warm blood under his fingertips

And suddenly the world goes dark, the last thing he hears is the sound of repulsors coming towards him.

Chapter Text

Peter can't remember what happened. He hears some people in his room chatting with one another, by the sound of it it's Captain America, Bucky, Thor and with the sound of energy coming from the chair near to him, he's assuming it's Mr.Stark. He keeps his heart rate slow and his breathing shallow to look like he's still sleeping.

“I know your awake маленький паук”

When did The black Widow come in? Or was she always there? and how did she know he was awake? Well Peter should have guessed that the black widow would have figured it out. He opens his eyes squinting at the bright light and tries to sit up. He can tell he’s in a hospital room by the smell of chemicals and the beeping heart monitor. It’s probably the one in the tower if he had to guess by the sound of busy workers just outside the little hospital wing.

“Kid! You need to lay down” Mr.Stark puts a hand on Peter's chest and sets him down gently and signals for Captain America to turn off the lights. (The Captain America!!!) Even though Peter started living at the tower on the weekends and living at aunt mays house on the weekdays it still feels weird seeing Captain America worry about him.

“What happened?"

“Well kid, you got your ass kicked for one”

Peter grunts at Mr.Starks remark

“It wasn’t a big deal”

“Wasn't a big deal? It wasn't a big deal! You almost died!”

“I did not almost die! I was fine! My healing factor would have healed me.”

“маленький паук your healing factor isn’t working”

“…what?”

As Peter looks down and sees his stitches on his leg and a cast around his arm when he should have been fine by now if he had his healing factor, the door opens and Dr. Strange comes through.

“Doctor of the strange, what are you doing here?”

“Well Thor, I felt something off about that fight between Peter and Vortex along with his inability to use his healing factor, I have been working with Dr.Cho on Peter and we found something in his blood stream”

Dr.Strange turns to look at Peter instead of the whole group

“Peter, was there anything weird about the fight?”

“Umm, I mean he found me on a rooftop slammed my head into a wall so hard I went through the wall, hid my leg with a glowing ax-“

“glowing?”

“I mean I just thought that it was dramatic affect”

“What did the glowing look like?”

“It was just a green glowing rock embedded into his ax”

“Hum, I’ll have to look into that. That would check out though.”

“What do you mean? Is the kid going to be ok?”

“Im not a kid Mr. Stark” Peter practically mumbled

Tony gave a little snort to that comment

“Back to what I was saying. We found little particles in Peter's blood that were glowing green.”

“What?”

“Like i said ill look into it but im assuming that the stone that was in his ax when he hit your leg got into your blood stream and is prohibiting your ability you use your healing factor”

“Humf” Tony grumbled

With his last statement Dr.Strange began to take his leave.

“Dr.Strange?” peter asked

Dr.strange stoped misstep and turned to look at peter

“Yes peter?”

“Thank you”

Dr.Strange gaze softened at the words

“Your welcome, Peter”

He turned back to the door and left

“Man of spiders! I bet you are tired so we shall take our leave.” Thor said

“Yes thank you Thor”

As the rest of the avengers made their leave they all said their ‘get wells’ and left. Tony stayed back seemingly to say something.

“Peter,”

“Yes Mr.Stark?”

“Just be safe. Please.”

"Of course Mr.Stark”

Tony nodded and left, leaving Peter to slowly drift to sleep.
