Far Away

06. I-I'm Peter

Hey,
I just watched BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN.💔

Ignore the ocean of my tears and let's get going with the story.🥲

_______________________________________________

"Hey Peter. This is Dick Grayson. He's from another universe" Tony said and Peter felt amused. But when he saw the serious looks on the other's face, he was forced to believe the man wasn't lying.

"Hi. I-I'm Peter." He said and shook the older man's hand.

"I have a brother of your age. You two would get along really well" Dick said, a bright smile  plastered on his face.

"Oh-Okay" Peter was so confused. He looked at Nat and she just shrugged.

"Well... Maybe I should go check in on them" Dick scooted off his chair giving the Avengers some time to explain everything to the teenager And to go,actually see how his brothers were holding up.

•••

Dick decided to go to Tim first. Considering, he was the most calm and that he wouldn't try and kill him and all.

Dick knocked on Tim's door.

Silence.

He sighed. "Tim?"

A small pause and then came a muffled reply. "Go away, Dick"

Dick took this as his permission to go in. Yeah, he does that.

Tim was sitting on his bed with his head in a pillow. He looked up when the door opened. He let out an annoyed groan and buried his head further into the pillow.

Dick went and sat near Tim. He remembered that Tim's temple was bleeding before.

"Hey Timmy, let me see" Dick said trying to get a better view at how bad the wound was. Luckily, it wasn't much to worry about.

"You didn't seem to care before" Tim mumbled out.

"That's not true! You were gone before I could actually take a look" Dick felt guilty anyway. He was their big brother. He was supposed to stop them from fighting. But he couldn't. Some big brother he is.

"He draws blood and they say he's only a kid. He could use the same excuse if he kills me, huh?" Tim mumbled, feeling tears welling up in his eyes.

Dick didn't know what to say.

"Hey, that's not it..."

"What is not it? Damian keeps on pestering me and when I stand up for myself, I become 'the one who hurt a kid'. He is not a kid, Dick. He is twelve. And I'm Fifteen. He's not the only one who had a bad life. We all did. He--"

Tim was cut off when Dick embraced him into a long tight hug. Tim cried even harder. "Hey Timmy, it's okay. Shh"

Dick held onto his brother until his cries became tiny sobs.

After what felt like ages, Dick started to speak.

"So... Timmy. Someone who I think must be of your age arrived at the tower just before I came in here. Wanna go talk to him?"

"Maybe later" Tim mumbled.

"Oh c'mon Timbers. Stop being so gloomy. Now get up. I'm gonna go check in on your brothers"

Tim sighed. "I'll come with you. I don't want them to kill off the one good brother I have"

Dick raised an eyebrow, but happily let the teen tag along.

•••

When they reached infront of Damian's room, Tim let out a grunt. When Dick looked at him, he had an angry scowl on his face.

Dick sighed and ruffled Tim's hair. He pushed open Damian's room. As he did so, he remembered he should have knocked and started mentally planning his funeral.

•••

After a few death threats and murder attempts from Damian, Dick somehow persuaded the boy to listen. He spent a lot of time and energy to make his brothers look at each other without murder in their eyes. However he succeeded. Then, he dragged an unwilling Damian and a snickering Tim to Jason's room.

Once they were in front of Jason's room, Dick knocked on the door.

Silence.

Dick pushed the door open to find Jason sleeping under a pile of blankets. Damian tutted at the sight. Dick ran his eyes around the room before closing the door. He saw a few things broken here and there. Probably damage caused by heavy punches. Nothing much to worry about.

•••

He dragged his brothers into the kitchen where everyone was in.

"Where's Jason?" Nat enquired, slightly concerned at the absence of the young man.

"Sleeping. Now, Tim, Damian, meet Peter" Dick said showing off his brothers to the teen.

"Hey. Um... I'm Peter Parker"

"Hi. Tim Drake"

">tt<"

"Translation, 'Heelllooo! I am Damian Wayne. Nice to meet you Peter!'" Dick said, waving his hand around dramatically, with the widest grin on his face, earning a glare from Damian.

Tim chuckled lightly.

"I can think of a hundred ways to incapacitate you with a spoon, Grayson" Damian said eyeing the spoon in Tony's hand.

Everyone in the room except the bats gulped.

"Whoops" Dick covered his mouth with his hands and gazed down at Damian with his famous puppy eyes.

•••

Everything was peaceful.

Until they heard a scream within the tower.

Everyone jolted up and before anyone registered it , Dick, Tim and Damian were already sprinting towards Jason's room.
