Chapter 5: Secret Codes

Friday, February 20th at 10:08PM

Peter, Harley, Morgan, Cassie, Ned, Abe and Flash all gets thrown back into their cell with the door slamming shut.

Morgan and Cassie has full on tears while everyone else is trying to stop crying. Peter starts to move making everyone go to help him sit up.

They go slowly. Every move, hurts him like they're hurting him all over again. Once they get him to the wall, they notice he can barely keep his eyes open.

"Petey?" Morgan whispers.

"You're hurt" Cassie points out

"It's ok, come here" Peter invites allowing them to throw him into a hug.

His face scrunches up in pain but he doesn't say anything.

"Why don't we let Peter take a nap?" Harley suggests as the two girls let's go of the hug.

"Is he gonna be ok?" Morgan wonders.

"I'll be fine Mo. I have fast healing, remember?" Peter recalls for her making her nod.

"Yeah, why don't we let him sleep?" Ned agrees with Harley.

"Hold on" Peter cuts in. "I have to tell them something. Cassie and Morgan, I n-need you two to pay attention closely, ok?"

Both girls nods their heads with fear in their eyes. Cassie has her arm over Morgans shoulder in a comforting way but both of them has tears in their eyes.

Morgan is only five years old while Cassie is seven. Peter wonders if Cassie feels like she's Morgan's older sister in a way. He finds it sweet but wishes they were in different circumstances.

"I'm going to have some rules you two need to follow ok? It's like kindergarten in a sort of way but you cannot break any of these rules" Peter begins. "If I say Hawkeye you close your eyes and cover your ears. Understand?"

Both girls nods so he continues.

"If I say Thor you hide under the bed, ok?" Peter asks while they nod. "If I say Black Widow you two stay close to me or anyone else in this room, ok?" Both girls nods again. "If I say Hulk you stop talking." The girls nods their heads again. "And if I say Captain America you can come out of h-hiding."

The girls nods their heads as he sees if he needs to tell them anything else when something comes into his mind.

"I-if I'm not with you two, l-listen to Harls ok?" Peter stutters.

"Petey, what do you mean not with us?" Morgan wonders.

"If I'm not the room Mo" Peter claims.

"Okay" Morgan nods.

"Shouldn't we move you to the bed?" Ned questions.

"No I-I'm good" Peter assures. "I think I'm just going to go to sleep now."

Everyone nods their heads and some mutters good night before Peter slips his eyes close. Morgan sits next to Peter at his side while Cassie sits next to Morgan.

Harley, Ned, Abe and Flash all try to get far away to have a whisper conversation.

"I don't even know why they're saying they have something against my parents or whatever. My parents had never messed with villains" Abe claims.

"I know my dad probably just didn't pay someone" Flash rolls his eyes.

"It doesn't matter about that right now. We need to keep Peter away from death. They're goin' to keep...keep grabbin' him away until they get whatever the fuck they want" Harley interrupts.
