Tony's Secret Spider

Chapter 6 Nightmares

The smell of copper was strong. Even with his enhanced vision, the things in the room were hard to make out. The constant rhythmic sound of water droplets hitting the ground helped him keeps time, however, messed up it was. His throat was dry and there was no water glass to be found. When he tried to sit up and get a look around he found that he was trapped. Metal bands were on his chest, upper arms, lower arms, wrists, thighs, calves, ankles, and waist. He could go nowhere. Then all feeling came back to him. Pain. The pain was all he could feel. He also felt blood and sweat dripping down his body when he remembered what was going on. This is what he had woken up to for the last ten years of his life. Always there was so much blood. His blood. Then he heard heavy footfalls from outside the door. He pulled at the metal bands with all of his strength recalling something of what they were made out of. Something called vibranium. The door opened with a loud metallic creak. He angled his head to get a good look at who it was. Unfortunately, it was Richard. He was a biologist and his wife Mary was a genealogist. Together they mutated my DNA. Whenever one of them came they would try and change me even more. The process hurts but there are changes that happen.

"Well how is our favorite little spide e doing today?" he said with a smirk.

He tried to answer him but all he could get out was a croak.

"Oh my looks like he is still worn out from yesterday's section," another voice filled the room and this time it was Mary.

He had known for a long time that these people were his biological parents but they sure did not treat him that way. He could recall a time when there were huge and kisses. A woman with fiery red hair calling out to a man with black hair, and a glowing blue circle in the middle of his chest. The women were saying a name, Tony. He wanted to back to that time and be loved. Now he was an experiment for HYDRA to make a perfect soldier.

His thoughts were interrupted again by the sound of laughing. Then he felt himself get injected with something. He knew what it was. If it was more spider DNA, then they gave him a sedative. He fell asleep with the image of them holding a knife over his body. Pain. He screamed.

Peter woke up covered in sweat and shivering. He had had many nightmares since he was captured by HYDRA but the had stopped being so bad. This was the first time in a long time since he had actually woken up because of one.

Peter looked over at his clock and saw that it read 2:30 am. He sighed. Luckily tomorrow or should he say today was Saturday so he did not have to do too much. Always after a nightmare, he could never go back to sleep. Peter got out of bed and went to the kitchen to see if he could get something to eat.

When he got to the kitchen he saw the light was already on. He walked inside and saw that Bucky and Steve Rodgers were awake and talking. Peter stood there for a little bit before deciding to leave and not invade on their privacy. So Peter decided to go to the roof.

Peter sat looking up at the sky. For ten years he had been able to see the sky and smell fresh air, so now he was always outside as often as he could be. Also, that was another reason why he likes to be Spider-Man so much was that he could feel the wind rush through him. See the sky and feel the sun on him. And the smell of fresh air always seemed to calm him down. Peter could already feel himself relax and his breathing slow down when he heard someone come on the roof. Peter turned around and saw Tony standing there in his pajamas looking at him with dad but curious eyes.

"Did you have another nightmare again?" he asked.

Peter nodded, "how did you know I was up here?"

"I had a nightmare too and decided to get up and check on you. When you weren't in your bed I asked JARVIS where you were and he said the roof so I came up here."

Peter just nodded again in acknowledgment of what he just said.

"How bad was it?" Tony asked.

"I could feel it again. The fear, the pain. And I also woke up after it happened." He looked down at his hand twisting them in a nervous manner.

"I'm sorry Pete, but why did you not come and get me?"

"I did not want to wake you up. I know you have been having a hard time sleeping lately, you needed it and I did not want to be the cause of you waking up when you obviously need sleep."

"Oh Peter, I am fine if you wake me up. I don't want you to deal with it on your own. You had ten years of your life without me in it. I want to be involved as much as I can in your life now. I want you to feel like you can find a family with me and Pepper. We love you so much and we can not stand to see you like this. I know that your nightmares scare you more than you let on. Please let me help you. Please."

"I was back there. It was in the tenth year so close to the end. Richard came in and then Mary. It was the last time they enhanced me. That was the time when they put in web glands in my arms. They had released me of the metal bands after that to let me them out. I was so scared! I did not know what was going on with me! I was afraid that if I ever escaped that no one would want me for the freak I was. I got flashbacks from times before I was taken and I just wanted to go back to that time and live their forever. After you found me and took me back I was so happy that I was accepted as a human and loved like a son. Sometimes I think this is alma dream and I will wake up and be back there."

Peter was now crying but he did not care. Tony never judged him when he cried. He felt arms circle him as he cried. He looked up and saw that Tony was hugging him. Peter leaned into him and say they're looking at the sky.

Tony the whispered into his son's ear, "I will never let them hurt you my baby boy. You will never have to go back there. I love you so much." Tony kissed Peter's forehead. Peter snuggled in further into his chest. They both fell asleep like that.
