Peter's POV
I woke up and noticed that I was on a rooftop. I tried to move, but I couldn't. I looked down to see chains around me. I tried braking the chains, until I heard a voice speak up.
???: Morning sunshine.
I looked up and saw who my kidnapper was; the Punisher.
Matt's POV
I called Wanda to meet me on a rooftop not far from Avengers Tower. She arrived and I could sense worry in her.
Wanda: Where is Peter?
I didn't answer her, I just turned my head down.
Wanda: Matt? Where is Peter?
I didn't know what the best way was of telling her the Punisher kidnapped him.
Wanda: What!?
Shit. Forgot she can read minds.
Wanda: How did that happen!?
Matt: The police started shooting at us and one thing led to another.
Wanda: Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get Peter back.
Matt: It isn't that simple.
Wanda: Why not?
Matt: Peter obviously doesn't want you to get hurt. I promised him that I would keep you safe--
Wanda: Just as you promised me that you would protect Peter.
Matt: Wanda, I know you're mad at me, but you need to listen to me.
Wanda: Fine. What's your plan then?
Peter's POV
The Punisher was stitching up the bullet wound in his arm.
Peter: Your doing that just now?
Punisher: I was a bit preoccupied with your wound.
I looked down and saw my wound stitched up.
Peter: Why am I still alive?
Punisher: Because you kicked the gun away from me.
Peter: Why do I even have my mask still on?
Punisher: Because I don't give two shits who you are.
Peter: That's good to know.
Punisher: Well, you asked.
Peter: Why are you doing this? Did someone hurt someone you love? Well boo hoo. Everyone has dead people around them, that doesn't give you the right to kill anyone.
Punisher: Oh, I think it does.
Peter: Do you have someone to go home to or are you alone?
Punisher: Do I pay you on the hour, doc?
Peter: I'm just trying to--
Punisher: I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to talk me out of this. Well let me tell you, that shit ain't happening.
Peter: Why not?
Punisher: I gotta get revenge on those assholes for killing my family.
Peter: Revenge isn't the answer. I know out of experience. I tried to get revenge too for my uncle's killer. And you know what? I let him go. Because I knew that if I killed him, I wouldn't be any better than him.
Punisher: That was one hell of a peptalk, Red. Sad that it won't work on me.
Peter: Why--
Punisher: Does someone force you to put on that costume or do you take it apon yourself? Do you know what I think about you, hero?
He started walking over to me.
Punisher: I think you're a half measure. I think you're a man that can't finish the job. I think that you're a coward. You know what the one thing is that you just can't see?
He crouched down, so he was face to face with me.
Punisher: You know you're one bad day away from being me.
We stared at each other for a while until he stood up and walked somewhere behind me.
Peter: Look at you. You go around the city acting like it's your damn personal shooting galary--
Punisher: And what do you do? What do you do? You act like this is a playground. You beat up the bullies and everyone called you a hero, right. And then a month, a week, a day later there back on the street, doing the same goddamn thing!
Peter: So, so you just put them in the ground.
Punisher: You're goddamn right I do.
Peter: [whispering] You enjoy killing.
Punisher: What's that?
He sounded like a mix of annoyed and angry.
Punisher: What did you just say?
Peter: You enjoy killing.
He just chuckled at me before knocking me out.
