Tony walked through the empty school building. "Peter!. Pete?! Where the hell are you?. Kid??" He screamed, hands cupped around his mouth. He didn't understand why he was so worked up when everything seemed normal. He didn't know of any emergencies. But the only thing that buzzed through his entire body was that he needed to find Peter.
"Peter can you hear me?? Where-" Tony stopped dead in his tracks. Peter. Oh god Peter. He was laying on the ground, hand reached out, coated in blood, eyes open and hollow. Several pools of blood surrounded him, coming from him. Bullet holes littered his body. Tony's child.
He let out a guttural scream. Dropping to his knees, crawling up to his kid.
"Peter wake up! Kid you can't leave me like this, I was supposed to adopt you!"
Tony's hands and clothes were smeared with blood. There was so much blood.
"Please not my child! My baby, come back to me"
Tony could feel the warmth leaving Peter. His kid can't be cold. He can't.
"Please please please please PLEASE please ple-"

Tony gasped awake. He scrambled to turn the lamp on before he could even process what happened. He couldn't breathe. He needed Peter, where was Peter? He gulped down half a glass of water and ran to his balcony. "FRIDAY send mark 85".
*Bang* *bang* *bang*
Peter was barely awake when he answered the door. He was immediately embraced by a babbling billionaire.
"Oh kid thank god. I was so worried. I had this awful nightmare. I thought I actually lost you. It's the most terrifying feeling Peter. Oh my god you're okay"
Peter hugged the older back just as tightly, rubbing his back. He's never seen Tony this messed up before, and so open about it. The Spiderling ushered him in and locked the door. They sat down on the couch and the billionaire pulled Peter into him as if he might disappear if he didn't.
"I'm okay Tony. I promise. You can see for yourself. What did you dream about?"
"It was just a nightmare pete-"
"You saw me dead didn't you?"
"..."
"Tony?"
"Yeah"
"It wasn't just a nightmare if it made you panic fly in the middle of the night"
Tony pursed bis lips. "There was so much blood kid. It was at your school".
Peter's eyebrows raised in realization.
"It's probably cause I told you about that school shooting drill. It got into your head, messed it up with possibilities, then it decided to be extra evil and show you the worst case scenario" he explained.
Tony definitely disagreed. "Still kid, anything could happen'
"But Tony I'm a superhuman. I can hear and sense things that are beyond the realm of human limitations. Spidey sense remember? I have super healing. I can take care of myself. Plus my 'dad' is Iron man. Karen knows to notify you immediately even without my word" Peter soothed him. Tony nodded tightly against his curls.
The Spiderling gazed up at him.
"Are you okay now?"
"I'll be fine as long as you're in my arms"
"I love you so much Pete"
"Love you too dad"
"I have adoption papers. Would you like to sign them?"
"Yes please"
