'We know it'll freak them out Bruce, but we need to do this prank." Shuri tried to reason with Bruce, who was denying helping them out. "No, I will not leave my lab so you can go torture them...actually, sure I will. I'll tell the other doctors in the medbay not to freak out about Peter." Bruce suddenly started laughing and left.

Shuri and Peter looked at each other with a confused expression, but shrugged and laughed it off. Peter was still in his Spider-Man suit, and Shuri easily ripped a small hole in the suit and began pouring the bottle of fake blood. Peter gagged at the feeling of it running down his skin, but he had to admit it looked very realistic. So, it was worth it, kind of. Shuri finished, and stepped back to look at her work. She wrinkled her nose at how real it looked, it was kind of sickening.

"We need to make you more pale so it looks like you lost a lot of blood." Shuri took out a bag of makeup, and Peter stepped back in horror, raising his hands in surrender. "NO! No make up. Please." He pleaded, but Shuri just cackled and started wiping the powder on his face. He tried weakly to fight her off, but he honestly wasn't trying too hard. It would help the performance to look more realistic, anyway.

After a couple of minutes of annoyed groans and laughs, they were ready. "I'll be in the bathroom listening. Go through the living room window. Rhodey, Bucky, and Tony are in there. Good luck, spidey." She clapped him on the shoulder and raced to the bathroom, slamming the door. Peter pulled his mask on, and climbed out the half open window. He used a web to sling himself over to living room window, and then landed on the balcony.

He faked not making the landing well, stumbling slightly and hitting the door. Tony noticed him first and his eyes widened dramatically, his mug falling to the ground and shattering as he saw the blood. That startled Rhodey and Bucky, who then looked out the window and raced to open the sliding glass door. Peter fell into Bucky's arms, groaning and tugging of his mask. "No, no, no. Kid, what have you done?" Tony's breaths were coming a bit too fast, but he wasn't full out panicking yet.

Bucky laid him gently on the floor, pressing his hands to the "wound". Rhodey had a hand to his mouth and then whispered something to Tony, who nodded and ran to call Bruce. The phone rang but no one picked up and Tony swore, hitting the phone against the floor. "Come on, kid. You're going to be okay. What happened?" Bucky had a fake calm in his voice, but Peter could see how wide his eyes were. "M-Muggers...Had to save t-the g...girl." Peter wheezed.

Rhodey left the room to go to the medbay and find Bruce or any other doctors. Little did he know, none would be there, thanks to Bruce. Bucky looked up at Tony and they met eyes, having some sort of silent conversation. Peter took the opportunity that they were distracted to wipe some of the fake blood off his suit and wipe it by his mouth, to make it look like he coughed it up. He made a fake cough noise and then a wheeze, and Tony's eyes snapped down to look at him. Tony fell to his knees and scrambled to Peter's side.

He grabbed his hand, whispering reassurances. "It's okay, kiddo. You're going to be fine, Rhodey's going to go get Bruce and then we'll get you all fixed up. Just stay with us." Tony was half trying to reassure Peter, half himself. It was obvious to both Bucky and Peter. Peter felt really bad seeing how upset his mentor was, but he tried to push the feeling away and keep making this dramatic as possible. Bucky was still pressing his hands to the fake wound, trying to stop the bleeding.

"Fuck, Peter, why must you get in trouble so often?" Bucky complained, trying to sound lighthearted, but he just sounded tired and sad. Peter coughed again, his eyelids fluttering closed slowly. He really should get an Oscar.

"Kid, stay awake! Open those eyes."

"Peter! Stay awake for us!"

He obeyed, opening his eyes again. He put on a weak smile, and looked at Tony first. "Thanks for being such a good mentor, Mr. Stark." Tony's lip quivered and closed his eyes tight, shaking his head. Peter had never seen him so upset, and it made him want to throw up and then hug him, but he didn't. Peter looked at Bucky, who was starting to freak out a little. "You were a really good friend, Bucky." Peter coughed a few more times, and to his and Bucky's utter shock, Tony let out a sob.

Peter was about to call off the prank because he didn't want Tony to flip out and cry, which he never does. But, then Rhodey raced into the room, looking panicked. "There's no doctors! I checked the medbay, no one. I even checked the lab. I checked the halls. Not a single doctor!" Rhodey ran a hand across his forehead to wipe away some beads of sweat.

Bucky glared at Rhodey, and then looked at Peter. "Um, call them again! We need doctors!" Bucky ordered, but Peter raised a hand to shush him. "Shuri, come out of hiding." Peter called, and Shuri opened the bathroom door and walked out, looking guilty. She must have heard how upset they were.

Tony, Bucky, and Rhodey looked shocked and confused. "It was just a joke. I'm not shot. I'm really sorry, everyone." Peter looked at his feet once he stood up. He was expecting to be screamed at, but it was just silent. Then, Tony lunged at Peter and wrapped his arms around him, tight. Peter, looking shocked, returned the hug after a moment.

Tony eventually pulled away, looked irritated. "You gave me a heart attack, kid! Never do that again, I'm serious. And no suit for two months." Tony glared, gesturing at the suit. Peter groaned and rolled his eyes, but he understood that. He didn't complain any further. "You really freaked us out kid." Bucky agreed, giving Peter a disappointed look.

Rhodey looked a bit amused but he nodded in agreement. Peter sighed and looked at Shuri, who awkwardly shuffled her feet and smiled.

"Also, I'm telling May."

"NO!!!!"
