Hypothermia Part 2

When Peter woke up he felt... Damp? And cold. His eyes slowly opened and he realized the room was being filled with water, but not just any water. Besides the air conditioning that was blasting, this water was freezing. Peter's body started to shake vigorously. "Want it to stop?" a voice rang out that Peter recognized. He didn't answer. He sat up and tried to stop himself from shaking, but his body was out of control. "You're gonna die today "Spiderman," the voice sneered happily. "23... 22... If your little friends are gonna rescue you, they better do it fast," he said as he continued counting the degrees that quickly plummeted.

"This is a stupid waste of time. The guy isn't gonna call us. He's probably watching us right now and grinning at the fact that we are sitting around waiting for a phone call that will never come, " the girl complained. "Well, what do you suggest we do instead?" Tony asked, quite burned out. "Look for him, " Mj stated as if it were obvious. We don't have any clues as to where he might be, " Tony said getting frustrated. "We'll trace his steps, OR if you won't, I will." Mj was already heading toward the lab door and to her surprise, Stark followed right behind.

Peter suddenly felt a heavyweight of tiredness flush over him. His eyelids became heavy, but he threw himself against the wall to stay awake. "Come on Mj, " he whispered weakly.

"Alright, Peter left around 3:30 and he could've gone home first, but he also could've just started "patrol". So we need to ask around, " Mj said as she searched the school property. Tony looked unsure about it, but Mj seemed to have some confidence that this could work. "Ah. A perfect place to start, " Mj said as she nodded over to the garbage cans where a rather large figure stood rumbling through the trash. Mj walked over and greeted him and followed behind, but kept a distance as Mj moved closer. "What up GB?" "GB?" Tony asked quirking an eyebrow. "Yeah. GB. It stands for Garbage Boy." "Oh. I should've known," Tony said sarcastically. "If I were you I would keep a distance. GB doesn't like boujee people. Or just people in general." Mj went up to the boy. "Hey, Mj. Wha up wih the cop? Ya tryna get me arrested agin?" "No, not this time, but I was wondering if you saw someone earlier." "Ah, gurl. You're finela takin my advice and finden yo self a man?" Mj thought about that. If she said no GB wouldn't help, but if she said yes, she would lying. Only half lying,  she silently corrected herself. She still was looking for someone, but not in the way GB meant. "Yeah, " she finally answered. "But don't go telling anyone. This one's just between me and you, " she said with a wink. GB smirked. "So wha this mystery man look like anywa?" "Well, he's slightly attractive, has untamable curls, ears too big for his head, and a really stupid, but cute look on his face. " "I think-" Gb started. "Yup. It's him and oooh, gurl. Ya foun yoself a goo' one. He wen' tha way, " Gb said pointing to the opposite direction of Peter's house. "Thanks. You're a real lifesaver. I owe you one, " Mj called back as she walked towards Stark again. "Yes you do, " Gb called. "What the bleep did I just witness?" Stark said looking weirded out.

Mj had gone around asking people who saw Spider-man and eventually she made her way to an alley where someone saw Spider-man. Mj recognized the alley. It was the alley where she first met Spider-man. "Over there, " Stark said. Over by the dumpster, where Peter hid his backpack, was his mask and something else. "He drugged him." "The same drug he used on me, " Mj said, as she sighed. "This gets us nowhere." "Not necessarily, " Stark said.

The whole room was now filled with freezing water and Peter strained to keep himself above the water, but his arms and legs were getting tired and his body was giving up. "1 more minute," Peter thought. 1 more minute and he would be drowning underwater That wasn't the worse part to him though. The worse part was May and Mj and Mr. Stark. They would never know what happened to him and May didn't even know he was Spider-man. Peter's body slowly gave out and water began to fill his lungs. Everything was going black. Peter heard what sounded like the iron man suit firing. "Just a hallucination, " he thought. Peter heard a loud creak...
