Peter got to his room and shut the door. He turned off his light and hopped straight into bed pulling the covered right up to his chin and closed his eyes.
"I just need some sleep" Peter was in denial and tried to go to sleep. As he tried to sleep visions clouded his mind. Peters vision went white.

"Wrong your too low down you need to aim higher" the guard yelled at Peter as he was attacking the dummy. "Try again".
Peter had been practicing on this dummy for the past hour and he was tired but the guard would not let him rest until he had excelled at every move and perfected them until he would not make a mistake.
"Five minutes break" the guard yelled as he saw Peter gasping for breath.
Peter sat down on a nearby chair and squirted his face with water to cool himself down and flung his hair back.

Peters vision went white again and changed to a different place.

"Peter I'm sorry I have to tell you this but the Avengers are not who they say they are" the mum said to Peter.
Peter looked around. He was in a small cottage house surrounded by fields. The mum sat on the edge of the bed looking at him.
"What do you mean?" Peter heard himself ask.
"They wanted to kill a man who was very dangerous and were willing to kill hundreds of people in the area to get the job done" the mum explained and brushed Peters hair away from his eyes smiling sympathetically.

The vision changed again.

"Well done you have completed your 100th mission" the man said sat down at his desk looking through some paperwork.
"Thank you sir" Peter said standing upright.
"Since this is such a great achievement your next mission will be a good one" the man flung a folder to the edge of his desk and Peter picked it up and opened it to see a woman.
"Her name is Pepper Potts. She works for Tony Stark and I believe they are together. She will be home alone tonight while Tony is at a convention where you will kill her" the man explained.
"Yes sir" Peter obliged.
"The rest you need to know is in the file" the man said and Peter walked out the room.

The flashback rolled forward until Peter was in the house holding a gun to Peppers head at point blanc range.

"Who are you?" Pepper asked frightened, fear plastered all over her face. She looked at the figure wearing all black with a hood up so he couldn't be recognised.
"The last person you will ever see" Peter shot the gun which hit Pepper and she died instantly. Blood splattered on the nearby objects including Peters face and a table with a photo frame.
Pepper fell backwards hitting the table and knocking the frame onto the floor which smashed. Peter looked at the photograph. It was a picture of her and Tony sat on a park bench laughing. Peter felt no emotion for this at the time but now he was in a flashback he could feel the tears and anger welling up inside him.
Peter watched himself clock the gun and put it in his belt then walk away from the mess.

Peters vision flashed again until he was back at the Hydra compound looking at the security cameras of when Tony had just pulled up in the driveway.

Tony walked into the house and threw his keys in the bowl.
"Pepper" he said but didn't get a response so he walked around the house until he stumbled upon her dead body.
"PEPPER" Tony ran forward and fell to his knees beside her. He lifted her head and put it on his knees and brushed her hair back. Tony saw the bullet hole and realised she had no chance and was gone in seconds. He began crying. Tears fell from his cheeks and onto her face. Tony brushed them away and closed her eyes letting her properly rest.
"I'm sorry Pepper. I'm truly sorry" Tony cried holding her tight in his arms. The only good thing he realised was that she hadn't suffered.
Peter watched from the cameras at Tony crying over Peppers body. He watched until the police had arrived at the house them turned the laptop off and closed it leaving the job he had just committed in the past.

Peter woke up with a jolt. He sprung up breathing heavily and looked around. He was in his bed at the compound. He looked down and noticed that he had been sweating and rubbed his eyes which he realised were wet from crying.
He couldn't get the image out of his mind. Every time he closed his eyes all he could see was Peppers cold dead eyes staring at him and Tony's crying eyes crying over Peppers body.
He looked at the time and realised it was already 11.
He was freaking out and he had no idea what to do. He had just remembered he had killed someone dear to Tony. How could he face Tony now knowing this?
So Peter did the only thing that he could think of. He called his mum.
"Mum" he said when he heard the line click.
"Peter" the mum seemed shocked that he had called her.
"Can we meet again I need to talk to you?" Peter asked.
"Erm sure we can meet in the alley next to the barbers and soap shop. When do you want to meet?" She asked.
"Can we meet now?" Peter seemed desperate.
"Sure I'll meet you in 20 minutes" the mum said and the line went dead.
