“Yeah, ummm, He- he has- there was a piece of glass lodged in his spine along with a lot of trauma to that area.. He has damaged his spine. The glass was there in the Lumbar part of the spine, between L2 and L5, which controls the leg moments basically… There's no easy way of saying this, but he might be paralyzed from the waist down. It may be partial or permanent, but at this stage, paralysis is going to be there. The Spinal columns from T4 to T11 also took a lot of heat…. He is going to have nervous issues when he wakes up… and that is if he wakes up.”

Tony’s P.O.V.
He couldn't believe it, his young prodigy, mentee, spider man, his first kid- was paralysed, had nerval issues, suffered brain damage, had one leg and had one functioning lung, above everything else. All of this because of the people whome he called his family.
He had taken the guardianship of Peter, so that he wouldn't have to face the system, and that he could be officially trained as an Avenger. That's the reason why he used to live with all the avengers in the compound or at the tower. Though he and Pepper did think of him as their own, the guardianship was something done for convenience, and they all knew it and none of them actually had any problems with it.
They all used to live in the compound when they weren't on a mission (Atleast most of them as Clint lived with his family and Thor in New Asgard as the new King). Peter was trained in the compound and lived with the Starks during the weekends mostly (In their Penthouse). All of them had a system.
But now, walking through the hallway which led to one of the conference rooms in the compound (They had shifted Peter to the Avengers Compound, to his home.) he felt himself shaking. All the Avengers were dreading the recap meeting where they will have to rewatch the footage and discuss further.
He opened the door to find all the Avengers sitting by the table. Not a single one of them was late, which was a first. He wasn't able to spot Thor anywhere, but Tony had an idea that the man would be gone the second things settled a bit. He was a king after all…..he had got people to look after…and a new planet to find…Anyway moving on.. he sat down beside Nat and Steve on one of the chairs as Fury began to speak of the attack and the rewatch.
_Time Skip_
He was trembling. It was too much. He knew by Helen's report about his part in the massacre. But seeing it in front of his eyes, Peter's desperate tries, his scream when the blast hit his leg. His ears still echoed the presence of the scream. He was pinching his nose. The other hand which rested on the trousers shaking, his shirt suddenly feeling cold and warm at the same time.
He looked up to see that others reaction was no different than his. Clint's head was in his hands which rested on the table. The nerve on his forehead popping, his neck red. Nat was trying to soothe him, to get his head out of whatever storm it was caught in, while sporting a look of horror and disbelief on her own consciousness.
Steve looked disappointed, disheveled, guilty at the same time. His breaths getting laboured to match the others in the room as the got to the clip of Peter body being thrown across. His hands had slipped into Bucky's during the starting of the main segment. The latter looking utterly feeble and defeated. Sam's condition was no different.
Tony felt the grounding hand of Rhodey on his back. Wanda had tears in her eyes, red aura swirling around her. Bruce was sporting green around his neck.
No one spoke for a long time. Fury looking at them and then towards the screen, waiting for them to get their shits together. Finally Nat spoke.
“So, what now? Does SHIELD has any leads on who is behind this?” Her voice was hoarse.
“We think it's HYDRA, a plan of their remaining branches. This is a very well executed plan, so it must have been under development for quite a time now. The SHIELD agents have already been on their back, since all of you have been busy with Thanos, etc.. They have pinpointed a location in Russia where the base mostly is.” He looked around the room before adding “ Now, I know that half of you are retired and everything, but, we will need you to figure this out… Nat, Steve, will you take this mission?” Fury asked in a soft tone no one had ever heard before.
Both of them just nodded. They just wanted to get far from here, somewhere, to help out with this mess. The guilt was just a tad too much. And not to forget, their blood was boiling for revenge.
A short watery snort came from the side. Tony looked up towards the source and saw Clint with a pained smile on his face.
“That little piece of shit… still kept calling us ‘uncle’” He chuckled, but it was hollow. It was a joke, a really old one. Tony still remembered that day clearly. He had accidentally denoted Rhodey as ‘uncle’ which had both ammused and irritated him. And when the spiderling found out that all the avengers weren't fond of the titles… . . He had never stopped calling them with different titles. Except for battles. At that time he always got serious.
At first it irritated the Avengers, that is, the formal titles, but now, at this moment, they would do anything to be called by those silly names
