a spider in the wrong universe

the soul stone

peter's p.o.v. :
the league of villains' tactic to get the stones to activate was through the use of torture methods. trust me, i'm no stranger to pain. i mean i've had an entire building fall on top of me. and because of my spider sense and enhanced healing, the snap and being dusted hurt way more than it should. when the guardians got snapped they didn't look like they were in any pain. but i could feel the molecules of my body falling apart and healing again. i could feel my body racing to put itself back together.

so this method of being beat up and punched and burned didn't even compare to the pain i felt on titan. thanos threw a whole moon at me, i could handle a few kicks and punches.

shigaraki took no part in the beating; instead he searched through cabinets obviously looking for something. after a few moments i see him pull out a small red case that looked weirdly familiar.

he pulls out what looks to be a gun and my senses go off slightly. i'm too distracted by the threats of flames from dabi and the punch that sends me to the ground to be able to see clearly what shigaraki is doing.

"that's enough." i hear him say

i can feel the bruises already starting to form all over my body and the burns felt like they burnt deep into my bones. with blurry vision i look up at shigaraki and see he's pointing the loaded gun at me.

his eyes scan my body, skipping all the injuries, looking for any physical manifestation of the stones.

"well, activate the stones spider freak" shigaraki orders

"that's not very nice-" i say, getting cut off with a kick straight to the stomach

"activate the stones, or say goodbye to being spider-man" shigaraki threatens

i realize the gun probably holds the quirk erasing bullets that overhaul created. my spider sense didn't go off any more than it had throughout the entire encounter, so i didn't take the threat seriously.

"i would rather die than let you have these stones." i say gritting my teeth

out of anger shigaraki shoots a bullet than lodges itself into my stomach. the wind is knocked out of me and the wound feels no different than a normal gunshot wound would. i gasp sharply for breath and can feel blood pooling out. i flip onto my back and break the cuffs holding my wrists together. i web my bullet wound closed as a temporary bandage and take a defensive stance, as do all the villains.

"how are you going to fight us off with no quirks freak?" shigaraki says smugly, holding the slightly smoking gun

"i could beat you with just my web shooters" i reply as i web away the gun and stick it to the wall.

dabi erupts and sends flames racing toward me, using my spider sense i dodge both him and the knives toga throws my way.

mr. compress attempts to capture me into one of his pearls, but i conveniently glitch and allow the pearl to pass through me and hit dabi instead. i flip over twice, who tried to kick my legs out, and web mr. compress' arm to the countertop.

the only villains left standing are toga, twice, and shigaraki. kurogiri had disappeared sometime before the fighting started. with my spider senses going haywire, trying to warn me of the many possible threats, my glitching problems starts to increase more and more and i'm glitching with almost every move i make. i try to control it, but it's no use.

while i'm distracted and glitching out, toga sticks a needle into my arm to get some of my blood. before he manages to consume it, i pull out the tube, "i wouldn't drink that! it's radioactive!"

with the tube, i pull her toward me and send her straight to the ground, webbing her there.

"how could the bullet not work? did we get fakes from overhaul??" shigaraki yells, grabbing a stray web i shot and disintegrates it with his fingers. the action reminds me of titan and when i dusted, and all of a sudden im reminded of the pain, the agony that i felt. the glitches pick up and i can feel the agony again. i feel nothing out pain circulating throughout my entire body. i drop to my knees and try to back up from shigaraki and twice.

i have to get away from shigaraki. i can't go through that again i can't. i dont want to die again. please i don't want to die

the fear inside of me is overpowering. there's a pit in my stomach that i feel rising. as shigaraki closes in on me i feel my fear starting to take over. orange starts to overtake my vision and everything is glowing. the pain and glitching subdue and my body feels at peace. the orange gets increasingly bright, almost blinding. i close my eyes tightly and when they open im in the middle of a peaceful scenery, in some body of water up to my ankles.

i look around me and there is nobody in sight. for the first time in months i feel truly calm, my body isn't sore or glitching, and i feel at peace. i look down into the water and the scene beneath me is what's happening in real life. i can see my body fighting off shigaraki with orange glowing eyes and an orange aura. it's an odd experience to watch yourself from an outsider's perspective.
all of the villains are staring at me wildly, unsure of what to do. i seem invincible and none of shigaraki's hits or grabs are landing.

"with the stone you are quite powerful."

i whip around and see someone who i haven't seen in months.

"mr. stark?"
