"Shit, they found out, no..."

Peter really began to panic now, they couldn't know, they'd hate him for it, how had they even found out?

Slowly everything that had happened began to come back to him, the girl called May, the building, Tony there with him, him crying into Tony's chest, everything.

Peter only realised after about 5 minutes of being stuck in his own thoughts that he was still standing just outside the bathroom. He turned around and saw Tony still asleep in the chair. Good he thought now I can leave and everything will be better. He went into the bathroom, got dress as quietly as possible, grabbed his spiderman suit from his closest, put it on and was about to swing out of his window with no intention of ever coming back when he heard someone behind him.

"Where do you think your going kid?"

He looked around and saw Tony, arms crossed, stood up out of the chair.

Shit Peter thought, "I, um, was just going out on patrol" he said with a little laugh at the end to make himself more convincing.

"What, at like 10am? You never go on patrol before 10pm let alone 10am!" Tony said a little to loudly for Peters liking.

Peter began to cry.

"Shit, sorry kid I didn't mean to yell" Tony apologised quickly, "It's alright, come here, it's okay" He said pulling Peter into a hug as the kid cried into his chest. What was he gonna do with this kid?

"I'm sorry Mister Stark, I'm so sorry, I shouldn't have- I'm sorry" Peter sobbed into Tony.

"It's okay kid, you'll be okay" Tony said while helping Peter back into his bed. Peter cuddled into Tony's chest until he fell asleep yet again.

-

Once Peter had fallen asleep for the second time, well, at least Tony thought he was asleep. Tony snuck silent out of the bedroom and into the living room before collapsing onto a sofa once again.

He was worried about Peter, how hadn't he noticed the signs before? It should have been obvious, Peter was already somewhat fragile mentally as it was and now he'd lost his aunt. God know what was going to happen to him.

-

Suddenly Tony was yanked out of his thoughts by his AI assistant FRIDAY.

"Sir-"

"What is it FRIDAY? now really isn't the time!" Tony replied suddenly slightly annoyed at the AI.

"Sir its about Mister Parker..."

-

Peter sat in his bathroom once again and made up his mind. Last time he tried he didn't really know what he was doing, when he stood on that roof it had been in the spur of the moment. This time he knew exactly what he was doing, and this time it was going to work.

He felt so guilty, he blamed himself for May's death and Uncle Ben's death before that. And now for being such a burden on Tony and all the others.

He looked at the pill bottle and blade in his hands and decided for one final time what he was going to do.

He emptied the half full pill bottle into his hand, took a deep breath, and swallowed the lot of them.

He gagged a little on the pills before he looked down at the blade, he began to drag the blade across his wrists, and not lightly either, he pressed down as hard as possible before dropping the now blood sodden blade on the floor and watching the blood flow, and flow fast.

Black spots began to cloud his vision and he began rapidly losing consciousness, he heard a thud in the distance but ignored it. At last was the last thing he thought before he gave into the darkness.

-

"WHAT?!" Tony yelled as he practically spat out his coffee and dropped his mug to the floor causing it to smash everywhere.

"It would appear Mister Parker is unconscious in his bathroom Sir" FRIDAY repeated calmly, as always.

"Shit, no..." Tony whispered under his breath as he knew almost exactly what had happened, he ran as fast as his legs would carry him to Peter's room.

He flung the bedroom door open and began to bang on the bathroom door, "Peter?! Open this door right now!" He got no response so began to kick the door in. By the third hit the door flew open.

The sight that sat before Tony made him want to throw up, scream and cry all at the same time.

There was Peter, his kid, lying on the bathroom floor, in a pool of his own blood, foaming at the mouth with a bottle of pills and a blade in his hand.

"No..." Tony breathed as he ran to his child's side, quickly pressing his fingers into the side of his neck, desperately feeling for a pulse and any sign of life.

Much to Tony's relief, there was a pulse, it was weak but it was there. Tony quickly lay Peter down and turned him onto his side so that he could vomit up any of the pills he'd clearly taken.

Tony then also grabbed a couple of towels of the side and wrapped them around Peters wrists in an attempt to stop him from bleeding out any more.

"FRIDAY call Banner!" The billionaire instructed his AI desperately.

"Hey Tony what's going on? You don't usually call-"

"Bruce! Thank god, I need help please, it's- its P- Peter, he, he, he- tried again..." Tony practically yelled in panic

"Jesus, okay, I'll be there soon, where are you?" Bruce replied sounding slightly panicked himself.

"Peter's bathroom" Tony replied quickly before disconnecting the call.

-

After a few minutes Bruce burst into the room and when he saw the scene infront of him he froze for a second before immediately getting to work.

Bruce quickly check Peter over to make sure there were no other injuries that they couldn't see before he and Tony lifted Peter up and carried him hurriedly to the medbay.

"Put him on the bed over there" Bruce instructed and Tony did as he was told, he placed the kid on the bed and grasped hold of his hand as Bruce worked, beginning to set up an IV to help flush the toxins from his body and beginning to sew up the deep cuts on his arms.

Throughout this Tony just sat there holding the kids hand and watching Bruce work. When Bruce was done he began to talk to Tony,

"So, those cuts should heal themselves fairly quickly what with his advanced healing and all"

"What about the pills?" Tony asked worriedly, staring at the unconscious Peter that lay in the bed before him.

"Well, he overdosed pretty badly and even with his advanced healing it will take a while for the toxins to be flushed out of his system."

"But will he be okay?!" Tony said growing increasingly more hectic.

"I don't know Tony, but I'm gonna do everything possible to help him"

-

Tony sat by the kids bedside for the next few days, no matter how many time Bruce or Pepper or Rhodey tried to get him to eat, sleep or shower, he wouldn't leave the kids bedside.

He wasn't sure if Peter could hear him or not but he still talk to him and he whispered in his ear, "You gonna be okay Pete, everythings gonna be fine, It'll be okay"
