Tw: CSA, grooming, ableism SH

This chapter goes over some very heavy stuff if you aren't in the right headspace to read about this, please skip it

Tony sat there for a moment. Should he give him time? Why was he so defensive about it? Maybe it's best to give him time. Tony made his way to the kitchen. Maybe he can make something for him to lighten the blow.

Peter- or, whoever she was, sat in his room trying desperatly to calm his breathing. Her past kept flashing into his mind. She couldn't bare remembering that. He felt like she was losing his mind as he tugged at her hair from just thinking about it.

Skip. He was their baby sitter. He was supposed to protect them while Aunt May and Uncle Ben were away but the only danger in the house was him.

It was a day like any other. The sun was shining, the birds were singing, and Peter's aunt and uncle had to go to work. So, Skip came over to watch them, even giving him a nickname. "Einstein". At this point, Peter had only been living with his Aunt and Uncle for about 4 months, his parents death was still fresh in his mind and he wished for normality and friendship. With Skip, he could get at least one of those things. At least, he thought.

The day soon turned dark as Skip sat Peter down in the living room. He got a bad feeling about it before he even entered the room but he went anyway. Skip was there to protect him, right? He sat down on the couch, right next to Skip. He saw on the table weird magazines with people touching each other in spots he thought they shouldn't be. Skip picks up one of the magazines. He says something along the lines of "doesn't this look so fun? We should do this" as he holds one of them open. Peter was terrified. All of the sudden, he felt like he was being pulled back into his head and the rest was gone for Peter but she knew how it ended.

This happened just about every time Skip had to watch them and with their guardian's work schedule, it was often. Peter couldn't put his finger on why he didn't want Skip to babysit him anymore and with no reason, he didn't say anything. So it kept happening. Eventually, Skip caught onto how much more different Peter would act when he did those things. He started joking about how Peter was broken with DID and how he now had more people to do things with.

She couldn't take it. The room felt like it was closing in and it was agonizing. Before he knew it, she was on the roof in a weird suit. A mask was in his hand. She had gone on autopilot and put them on. He put the mask on and her head started to get fuzzy. After a few minutes, Spiderman was swinging through the city.

Cool wind hit his face through the mask as Spiderman flew through the city. Cars beeped and birds tweeted from below him and he flet free.

Tony walked over to the room that he saw Peter run into with a slightly burnt omlet. He knocked on the door but heard no answer. After a few more knocks and still no answer, he warned that he was coming in and opened the door. Peter was not there. Where the hell was Peter?!?

After a couple of hours, Spiderman had ridden the streets of evil and with minor injuries. A win! But he didn't want to go back, something told him that it was bad too. So, on the streets he stayed. Night had fallen by now and most people were inside but of course, criminals are still out but so is Spiderman. He beat up bad guys till the sun started rising again. He hadn't realized the time. Surely, it was safe to go back home now?

His Spidey senses started going haywire as he got closer to the tower. He looked around to make sure there wasn't a bad guy or anything but the only person he saw from the roof was Iron Man approaching him. He wanted to see him but his Spidey senses went off more and more as he got closer so he left. He swung far away. He kept swinging until his arms felt numb.

Author's Note: I didn't like writing the begining of this chapter for obvious reasons I will also be updating the chapter titles as I think of them
