Scattered One-Shots

I got you, kid

It's random, but I'm really in the mood for the whole rescue at last second thing lol. It won't be a long story.

Description: Peter gets a little more than banged up in a patrol. It's a good thing that Ironman is around.
Note: set after Civil War (resolved). Only Ned knows.

Okay, onto the story.

Third POV

It had been a long, hard day for Peter Parker. He was accidentally an hour early to school, he forgot his lunch, he had two tests, Ned had to leave half way through the day for a dentist appointment meaning he was alone for his last few classes, and to top it off he accidentally missed the subway home meaning he had to walk. All this, and it's only Tuesday.

Oh, yeah, and he just got caught in an explosion.

Peter clenches his teeth, leaving heavily on the whatever next to him as his left side pulses with pain. He has no idea how he survived that blast, or if he'll stay survived.

It's like the universe was really out exercising the Parker luck today! He thought he'd be able to use his patrol as a way to relax, to get rid of his frustrations and unwind. But no!

To be fair, it started off well! He caught a shoplifter, chased a runaway dog down, caught a kids ice-cream before it could fall, and all without a scratch!

But then it all changed.

*earlier*

"Woo-hoo!" Peter cheered as he effortlessly swung through Queens, a bunch of people below cheering. He does a flip and lets go of his web, leading on top of a billboard and now on the look out for the next task.
It's dark now; Peter knows more crime will be on the way.

Sure enough, Karen (the A.I in his suit, courtesy of Tony Stark) speaks up. "Reports have just come in of a break in at an apartment complex a few blocks from here, would you like to—"

"Yeah, yeah show the way!" Peter interrupts energetically. A building is highlighted yellow in the distance and he takes off towards it, Karen explaining which level the break in is reportedly occurring.

Having Karen makes patrol go a lot smoother, he can't believe he got by without her before! Peter would thank Mr Stark, but he hasn't spoken to Tony in quite a while, since the Civil War wrapped up. He leaves messages with Happy but never hears back, Peter tries not to let it get him down because he knows they all live very busy lives and maybe Mr Stark hasn't been able to respond.

"Alright, lets see what's happening!" Peter declares as he climbs up the building. He can hear police sirens in the distance, but he has no way of knowing how far off they are or if they're even coming here, so he doesn't wait around.

Karen guides him to the correct window and for once he doesn't have to bust through because it's already open a little. He hops into the room, some kind of office, and looks around. It's empty, so they must not be in this room. He moves through.

The next room has a civilian, hiding under a desk. "Where are they?" Peter whispers. The man points to a room opposite and Peter gives a thumbs up, telling the civilian to head towards the exit as he pursues the criminals.

There's four guys, dressed in dark clothes with many weapons in holsters. They're going through the files cabinet.

"What cha looking for?" Peter announces his presence after a few seconds of silence. They turn to see him leaning on the door frame. "If it's love notes, I don't think you're gonna find them!"
