"Peter, whatever that woman says to you, this isn't your fault okay?"
"Okay May"
"When you get back Ned's been asking about you"
"I'll see him tomorrow May"
"Will you be home for dinner, or ...?"
"May. please. I need to go"
"Please just let Happy tell her"
"Why?"
"Because, it took you forever to stop blaming yourself for Tony's death and I don't want the same thing to happen for Morgan"
"Your saying you think she's-"
"No! I'm just saying... please be careful not to let her response, you know... affect you. You're a good boy and this was an accident"
I nod and we start out the door
An accident? No it wasn't. Well Morgan getting kidnapped was, but an accident implies it wasn't on purpose, Vulture 2 certainly planned this. He waited for the right opportunity. He waited for someone i loved so he could use her against me
This was no accident, this was me not being able to save someone I love. Again
I step into the car and start brainstorming ways to get her back, and ways to tell Pepper that the person she trusts can't be trusted
••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••••
I step out of the car, my shaky legs dragging me towards the front door the Stark house, buried deep in the serene woods of upstate New York
Before i have the chance to knock, the door swings open and im consumed in a welcoming yet shaky hug from Pepper
She pulls away and looks at me cheerfully
"Peter! I'm glad you stopped by, I wanted to show you something" she motions for me to come inside but it feels like my feet are cemented to the porch
I wear an emotionless, hollow look. And what i look like directly reflects how I feel right now. Peppers face goes from happy to white as a sheet when she remembers
"Wheres Morgan?" I take a deep breath and try my best to talk to her without falling apart again
I'm supposed to be there for Mr Starks family, i need to be strong for them, especially when im too weak to protect them
"Pepper i-"
"What?"
"Lost her. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean, well , I didn't think that, i don't know how this happened! I was right there and i tried but he took her and flew away and shook me somehow. I dont- i can't imagine how you feel about me right now. I'm so sorry"
she just stares at me in disbelief. Finally her blank expression turns angry, then guilt spreads across her face
"Its my fault. I left her with you, i shouldn't have"
"Pepper" Happy says from behind me
"I'm sorry Peter, it's nothing against you. The city is a dangerous place, I mean that's why Tony and I raised Morgan out here, i should have known better than to send her with a 16 year old kid"
Even though i was expecting her to say something like that, actually hearing it broke my heart. I broke her trust, she regrets sending Morgan with me. I mean who can blame her? I made her lose her husband and now this?! Why can't i just leave their family alone?!
She walks away without another word, leaving the door open for Happy and I to come in. as i'm about to go through, Happy grabs my arm
"Peter, don't take it personally"
"No, I deserved it. I deserved a whole lot more than what she said to me, i lost her daughter, Happy"
"The same thing would have happened if she was walking with Pepper, the city is just dangerous. And you have nothing to be upset about. We are going to find Morgan okay?"
"But what if she's already d-"
"She's not. I won't let her be"
I shake back my tears and put on a fake smile
"We'd better go back to the city. Banner is already searching for her"
"I want to check on Pepper first"
"Give her time Peter, it will be better to go to her with Morgan than empty handed"
"I need her to know that we are going to find Morgan"
"Okay, go quickly"
I nod and make my way into the house
As soon as I step through the door, i smell smoke. I run to the kitchen and see a pot of something boiling on the stove and a towel draped over it, sparking flames around it. The place is hazy and i begin to cough and choke on the air
"Pepper! Are you anywhere in here? Pepper!" I yell, running through the house
I go down every hallway and through every door, looking just about everywhere. As i'm about to search the kitchen which is now engulfed in flames
I pull my sweatshirt up over my face. My eyes burn as the smoke seeps through and makes them water, blurring my vision
"Pepper!" my yell is muffled and I can barely breathe any more. I make my way to the front door but collapse in the living room
My head hits the wood with a thud and the room starts to spin
In the background I can hear faint yelling and a window breaking. I can hear Happy shout angrily at a group of people, probably firemen
I stare up into the ceiling. Mr Starks entire life is gone today, a few hours and everyone he loved, who he died trying to protect, is gone. In a snap
I roll to my back and draw my last breath
