Chapter 19

Peter

Peter's hearing was shot temporarily as he opened his eyes after ripping off his mask. He groaned, hearing the high-pitched whine in his ears while gasping for air.

The noises coming from all over were muffled and he propped himself up on his elbow before crawling on all fours through the sand. He pants heavily, ignoring the hot flames around him.

He got himself to stand up, still feeling weak after the crash, he first stumbled. But regained his balance as he looked forward. Seeing and hearing a muffled boom along with a familiar figure flying towards him.

He gasped before grunting, being taken by Vulture and into the sand. He tumbled and landed on his back harshly. Adrian crashed back a few feet after him. Peter's hearing was coming back as he started to get up.

Adrian's engines powered down, getting Peter's attention to look up but to only see him standing up, looking straight at him with his neon-green eyes. "Hey, Pedro," he growled before zooming to Peter. Peter ducked underneath him, making him miss.

Yet Adrian turned around as Peter tried to shoot a web but flew at him again. This time, pressing him into the ground. Peter groaned and shouted as Vulture's grip tightened around Peter's body.

While Adrian held him down, he swung, hitting him in the face, over and over again. Until Peter blocked one but made Adrian fly up. Peter remembered what he tried to do with Dylan and he instantly dropped out of his hold.

But Peter shot a web on Adrian, preventing him from hitting the hard sand. His web bounces him back to kick Adrian in the face and to fall and take him down.

Adrian spun in circles trying to get him off. And Peter let go, grunted, and smashed into the sand face first.

Adrian came down with his grip around the boy, picking him up before pressing him further into the ground repeatedly. Until he let him go. Peter rolled himself over, meeting Vulture's eyes above him as he gasped.

Peter's body was giving out, weak and vulnerable, he let Adrian pick him up by his hoodie. He hung with his feet dangling. Adrian was about to finish him off when he spotted the jackpot behind him. "Bingo," he said, dropping Peter on the ground before flying past him.

Peter weakly lifted his head up to see Adrian attempting to carry a storage container. His eyes widened. "Your wingsuit," he mumbled, then yelled. "Your wingsuit's gonna explode!" But Adrian didn't listen.

Peter grunted feeling the pain in his arm as he quickly aimed for him, he shot a web and pulled him down so he wouldn't escape. Adrian noticed this and turned to face Peter as he struggled to get a good hold.

"Time to go home, Pete," he said.

Peter clenched his jaw as he screamed, "I'm trying to save you!"

Adrian laughed and cut the web with his razor-sharp wings, causing Peter to fall back and watch in horror as Adrian flew away. "No!" Peter cried.

But he didn't make it far, due to his wingsuit exploding, powering down as Adrian plummeted to the ground. The suit was in flames.

Peter sat up. "No. No!" He groaned, getting up and running over to him. The metal wing that covered Adrian burned Peter's hands but he strained for it, lifting it up and seeing him.

He huffed before grabbing a hold of him. And like a true hero, he carried him through the flames. And placed him down while also falling over. Adrian grunted as Peter panted. Both coughed as they laid side by side in the cold sand.

Peter got up, breathing heavily, and peered down at Adrian, holding his hurt arm. Peter wanted to take him down but he didn't want him dead so he saved him.
