Spider-Son One Shots

One Life For Millions

Did someone say fluff? Well, they're wrong! Bring on the angst! Anyways, death.

"Run!" Peter said to the civilians trying to evacuate the area. There was a man that could kill 20 people every 10 seconds with his gun armor. Spider-Man was trying to evacuate the area so there wasn't anymore casualties.

"All I want is you dead, Spider-Man. Look, I'll make you a deal. You let me kill you, and I surrender and go to jail for life," The man reasoned with the spiderling.

"And how do I know you're not lying? I'm pretty sure the job description of super villains is lying," Spider-Man quipped back.

The man sighed. He grabbed a few civilians and aimed his guns at them. "You're life or there's."

The civilians yelled at Spider-Man not to do it, but Peter was too selfless for that. What's his life compared to there's? What's one life compared to the five the villain had?

"I'll do it. Take my life, but you have to release them and turn yourself in," Spider-Man said despite the protests.

"Sir, we should talk to Mr. Stark about this," KAREN tried to advise her master, but even the AI knew there was no talking Peter out of it.

Spider-Man walked up to the man, letting the gun be aimed at his head. The villain let four of the civilians go, but kept the youngest in case Spider-Man tried anything. The world became silent as if holding it's breath. Everything grew still as the loud bang rocketed all the way across the New York. Birds flew high in the air from fear of such a startling noise. But the Spiders of the city fell. Going deeper into the shadows of their homes.

The end

By some twist of fate, the mistress of Death didn't want yet another Parker. The young civilian kicked the man making the gun go downwards as the man shot. The bullet entered Peter's stomach instead of his head.

Spider-Man let out a cry of pain as his hands found the blood soaked spot. The world faded into each other becoming blurs of gray and the blue up above. Spider-Man fell down on that city street, as paramedics rushed to get him, social services got the girl, and the NYPD got the villain guy.

Before Peter was in a realm of unconsciousness, he saw a figure of red and gold sinking closer to the ground.

***Moments Before at Avengers Tower***

"Sir, KAREN has alerted me that Peter is trading his life for those of five civilians," FRIDAY rang through the tower. The Avengers were scattered in the living room, kitchen, and training room but they all heard. Peter was going to die. And soon.

Tony was already calling on the suit and walking onto the balcony. Once the red and gold armor surrounded him completely he was off into the world with the only sound being the hum of his engines.

FRIDAY pulled up all the facts, including the feeds so Tony knew what had happened. Tony didn't know how to react. He thought the kid was selfless, but also very stupid because of his decision. Tony pulled up.the live feeds to see a gun trained at Peter's head.

New York was eerily silent, Tony began to notice as he drew nearer. But that silence broke at the crash of a loud bang! Tony sped up faster checking the feeds to see if Peter was dead. But doing so, he realized Peter was still alive.

Landing at the area of where the shooting would have been, he saw paramedics gesturing to his blood soaked stomach, not head. Tony almost laughed with joy, because this kid could just not die no matter how stupid his actions were.
