Peter's POV
This sucks. Mr. Patterson keeps talking about Shakespeare like he has all day. I wouldn't be surprised if he had a " William Shakespeare Shrine"
I glance at the clock. Great , 5 minutes more of this torture and I can go home to May. God I miss her. Mr.Patterson tells us about our homework for the weekend and right as he finished the bell rang. Everyone, including me , bolted up and ran towards the door. While heading to the school entrance,I talk to Ned and MJ about coming over to my place and having a star wars movie marathon. As I finish talking ,we reach the exit. I walk out and wave goodbye to my 2 friends. I know...I need more friends.
I get home and knock on the door...no response.I decide that May probably had some kind of work emergency and I open the door with my spare keys. I get inside and throw my bag on the couch and sit there for sometime. I go to the kitchen to make a sandwich. There's a note on the refrigerator from May, just as I suspected... work emergency. I make my sandwich and sit back on the couch with my computer on my lap. I watch F.R.I.E.N.D.S on Netflix. I look up at the clock and realize  it's been two hours. Where's May? A couple of minutes later I get a call.
"Hello? Is this Peter Parker?" Said an young woman."Yeah,um..who's this?" I said. "This is the blah blah blah hospital (I couldn't think of a hospital name) , May Parker was in a car crash and you were on her emergency number list" she said. "O-okay I'll be there in 10 minutes tops" I said breathing shakily. I hang up on her. What happened? Why did May crash?Am I the reason? These thoughts kept circling my mind as I made my way to the hospital. It was only a 5 minute run. I reached the hospital and texted the group text with Ned and MJ. (a/n I'd like to call the group text '2 losers and 1 cool kid' named by MJ) I already was wearing my spiderman suit under my normal clothes so that whenever someone hurts May, when she comes out of the hospital,I can kick their butt. I went to the reception and asked her where May Parker was. She looked up from her phone and had a look of confusion."You're May Parker ' s husband?" She questioned. "Um..no I am her nephew , also she's kind of like my mom since I don't have one..."I said. Dammit , that last part wasn't supposed to come out. By now I was confident that May had survived the crash. She's a strong woman. All my anxiety had washed away by now. "Oh , I'm sorry about your parents. May Parker will be..." she glanced at her computer and continued " on the 1st floor and in the room at the end of the hallway". "Thankyou" I said rushing to the elevator. I can't wait to take May home!!! I get to the first floor and spot the room. I make my way towards the room. I open the door with full confidence and see May...not awake. Hey maybe she's just sleeping , her  heartbeat seems to be fine... right? I see the doctor sitting in a corner of the room. I go to the doctor and he looks at me. "You must be Peter Parker, Mrs. Parker ' s nephew right" Said the doctor. "Yeah, is she okay?" I asked in an almost tear filled voice. My heartbeat had spiked up again. The doctor paused. He looked at me and said " she's in a coma". I tried forcing back tears but I couldn't help it. I walked over to May and sat next to her in one of the plastic chairs next to her bed. I put my head in my hands and started crying.

Tony's POV
"Sir, Peter's heartbeat is going up" Said Friday. "What" I said looking up from my suit. I guess he forgot that I put a tracker in his suit. "Friday, call Peter" I said. Immediately, Friday started calling Peter. The calling tone ringed through out the room. As much as I'd prefer not to admit, there was no denying that the kid had grown on me. Everyone noticed including the rest of the avengers. Infact, They had started calling us irondad and spiderson. "H-h-hello mister stark" Said Peter through the phone. He didn't sound like the happy and exited kid I knew and loved. He  sounded sad and as though he'd been crying for hours. "Pete...why are you crying?what happened? Are you okay?I told you not-" I was cut off by Peter's shaking voice. "M - mister stark...I- May - I -um..May got into a car crash and um*sniff*they said she's in a c-co-coma....besides how did you find me?"."I tracked your suit anyways kid, I'll be right there okay?" I said."But mister stark-" Peter protested."ah ah ah no buts" I ended the conversation there and hung up. I got in one of my many,many cars and tracked the hospital Peter was in. I went to the reception and asked for May Parker. The receptionist, without even batting an eye, told me the directions. Thank god Peter alerted the doctor before I came. I opened the door and saw the most heart breaking thing. Peter, the most happy,outgoing,positive person on the room suddenly all slumped down. He looked up and saw me. He wiped his tears and put on a fake smile. I looked helplessly at the kid and told him to let it out. He sat back down and just stared at the heartbeat monitor. I talked to the doctor for a while about what was going on. I sat next to Peter and gave him a tight hug. I could feel that he was holding in his tears so I said "it's okay kid, let it out". Then Peter started balling. A few minutes later we broke the hug. Then the most dreadful sound came. The monitor started beeping really fast. May Parker was dead. 3 nurses busted into the room and started taking notes and plugging/unplugging needles into her arms. I looked at Peter and he just stared at May's lifeless body and let small tears trickle down his pale face. The doctor pulled me aside and said "Sir, May Parker has passed away. Since Peter seems to depressed to make this decision, will you please sign this form to take her off of life support?". "Isn't their anything you can do? Because money's not a problem" I pleaded. The doctor said no and I signed the form. I went to Peter and he looked up at me and said "you took her off life support,didn't you? ". I sighed and nodded yes. He told me that he was fine with it but I knew he wasn't.  He started sobbing. I couldn't do anything to help, money buys you a lot of things but it doesn't buy you happiness. I took him to the car and he sat in the back seat. He eventually silently cried himself to sleep. I couldn't help but think what would happen to him. Will he go to foster care? no, not on my watch. I'll adopt him if it's the last thing I do. I don't want him going to a horrible home where he's abused and not cared for at all. I'll protect him no matter what the circumstance. God I am a dad.
