nightmare

There weren't enough words in the English language to describe how excited Peter felt. He knew it was childish to feel like this, but he could help it. Tony and Steve were coming back. He'd stressed himself out the entire week they were gone, thinking something bad had happened. But they were finally coming back!

Their flight was supposed to arrive back at the JFK airport at 3 A.M. Which is incredibly stupid and frustrating. But when does Peter sleep anyways? It was 12 A.M. Peter was still wide awake, thanks to his excitement and five hour energy. He quickly threw on a shirt which read "Captain America says Stay in School", an oversized ironman hoodie, black jeans, and red sneakers. Natasha was going to be driving him to the airport, which he was also stoked about.

The teen ran downstairs, finding Natasha and Clint watching Jaws. Clint was basically hiding himself behind Natasha while Natasha laughed at the shark attacks. Natasha was the first one to notice Peter, "Hey, Pete," She smiled, looking over at Clint. The blonde cleared his throat, shifting his position to look at Peter. He took a deep breath, saying, "Oh, uh, hey Peter!"

Peter didn't take notice of how terrified Clint looked. Simply, he grinned, jumping up and down giddily. "We should leave now, right? I mean, we don't wanna be late to pick up my dads- I mean-" Peter's face turned red. He was never to call Steve 'dad' again, unless he had permission. Natasha let out a small laugh at the teen's antics. "Sure, let's get going. Clint, you gonna keep crying like a baby or are you gonna get dressed?"

Clint quickly shut the movie off. "I wasn't crying," He pouted, leaving to quickly change into a purple shirt, gray jeans, and sneakers. Natasha was already dressed in a red tank top, black leather jacket, leggings, and boots. Peter was the first one out of the house, joyously entering the car before the other two.

Peter connected the aux cord to his phone, blasting meme songs throughout the entire ride.

Natasha was more than happy when they arrived at the airport. She let out a sigh of relief as she shut off the car, ending the song 'Africa' by Toto.

They went through airport customs. After this, they sat besides the area where the plane was supposed to arrive (i don't know how to describe this so just deal with it). It wasn't too packed, so there were many seats available. The plane was supposed to arrive in about 30 minutes. Wasn't too long of a wait. However, to Peter, each passing minute felt like a year.

30 minutes had passed. Soon it was 40. Then 50. Then it was an hour. Nothing about the flight being delayed was displayed. He looked down, feeling the hair on his arm sticking up. The teen looked over at Natasha and Clint. Clint had fallen asleep, and Natasha was on her phone. Peter poked Natasha, causing her to lift her head. "They're gonna be here soon, right?" Peter asked, rubbing his eyes tiredly. Natasha nodded, putting an arm around Peter. "Get some sleep, маленький паук." The brunette teen nodded. He rested his head on Natasha's shoulder and closed his eyes, ignoring the queasy feeling in his stomach and his headache.

Peter woke up a while later to an obnoxious ringing in his head. He looked to his left to see Natasha and Clint looking up at a television screen. He heard a few people gasping and some crying. There were multiple televisions around the whole airport, and everyone seemed to be watching. Peter looked to the television as well, tuning in to what was being said.

On the screen, there was a banner saying "JetBlue flight crashed near New York". A woman was reporting the scene, discussing what happened. "At 3:43 A.M., a flight deporting from Hawaii crashed near New York City. We are unsure of how many survivors there are. Among the passengers are the recently married Avengers, Anthony Stark and Steven Rogers. The couple was coming back from their honeymoon when the plane crashed, along with tons of other individuals. It's unsure how the plane crashed and how many people were on board. Back to Joe with sports."

It took Peter a while to comprehend what he'd heard. He didn't quite believe it. He stared blankly at the screen, his chest quickly rising and falling. Clint and Natasha looked to him worriedly, not having known until then of him being awake. Clint quickly sat on the other side of him, wrapping his arm around him. Both Clint and Natasha were teary eyes and unsure of what to say.

"No.." Peter whispered. He looked down as tears began to stream down his face. The teen had had nightmares about something like this happening. He never thought much of them though. He would just panic and then get over it. Of course, he'd have his father help him calm down. But right now, he couldn't wake up. He wasn't sleeping.

"No!" The teen shouted. His throat tightened; he felt like he couldn't breathe. Each breath felt like torture. He needed to know if they were alive. Peter felt like this was all some kind of sick joke- he wished it were. His chest was tight as he sobbed, his vision beginning to get blurry.

"Peter, breathe," Clint said gently, but Peter didn't seem to hear. The only thing that he did hear was Natasha's soft voice, whispering, "маленький паук, it's okay."

The brunette teen's head snapped up as he panted for air. He turned to Natasha, hugging her and clinging on tightly. Many had began to stare at this point, but everyone was understanding. They thought Peter had family on the flight, not knowing his relationship with Tony and Steve. It had felt like hours before Peter had been able to breathe regularly, though it was a few minutes. After a while, they decided to leave the airport against Peter's wishes.

The car ride was deadly silent. The only noise which could be heard was sniffling from the back seat and occasional whispers between Clint and Natasha. That night had felt like a nightmare, one that would never end.
