Tony POV
Ahhh...
"Nothing like a sip of hot black coffee at the end of another long day of being a billionaire."
"FRIDAY, turn the lights off, please."
I told the AI.
"Of course Sir." FRIDAY replied, dimming the lights slowly until the only light came from the stars outside.
I set my empty mug down on the bedside table and turned over squirming (a/n that word is spelt so weirdly) to find the most comfortable place to sleep in my king size bed. Pepper was out on a business trip which meant I had the bed all to myself. The rest of the avengers ,apart from Peter who lived with his Aunt May in Queens, would be asleep in their own bedrooms scattered throughout the building.
Just as I was about to drift into the realm of sleep, I was blasted back to full consciousness by my ringtone.
"You have an incoming call from the Queens hospital. Do you wish to accept sir?" FRIDAY told me.
"Yes." I replied, yawning.
"Hello, is this Tony Stark speaking?"
Tony could tell the woman on the other end was trying to hide her excitement to be talking to him and she was almost pulling it off. Almost.
"Yep that's me." I answered, still waking up.
"I have been told to inform you off May Parker's accident and ask you to come as soon as possible." She stated.
I gasped.
"Something happened to Pete's aunt?!"
I thought worriedly.
"What happened?!" I asked trying to hide my concern for the boy and his only remaining relative.
"We'll explain when you get here, just hurry." She replied, hanging up on me.
By now I was up and walking towards my wardrobe to get dressed.
---------------------------------------------------------
"FRIDAY, scan through the recent headlines for May Parker, please."
I asked the computer.
"The top headline with the keywords May Parker is : Two cars crash killing May Parker and Crystal Cookson. Would you like me to read on, sir?"
"Just the major details, please" I sniffed, a tear in my eye for what my intern must be going through.
"The article says that Edward Cookson fell asleep at the wheel with his daughter in the back. The car then swerved into May's, killing Crystal and putting May in a coma.
She was rushed to hospital but she was announced brain dead 30 minutes ago. Would you like me to read more sir?"
It was a lot to take in.
"No thanks, FRIDAY." I answered

Peter POV
"No. No! This can't be happening!"
Thoughts were screaming in my head.
It was late. I had been sat on the sofa on my phone with the TV on in the background. I had looked around the room wondering when Aunt May would be back from the shops when I spotted her name on the news. I rewinded and turned the volume up.
"Two cars crash killing May Parker and Crystal Cookson."
My vision blurred with tears as I watched on and heard the rest of the report. My ears were ringing. My heart, thumping. My tears, streaming.
Doo Dee Dah Doo Doo Doo
Doo Dee Dah Doo Doo Doo
Wiping my eyes on my sleeve, I answered my phone.
"Hello." I sniffed, trying to sound as normal as possible.
"Hello, is this Peter Benjamin Parker speaking?" The woman asked formally.
"Yes." I gulped
""I have been told to inform you off May Parker's accident and ask you to come as soon as possible."
