"We couldn't save her." Hearing those words hit Peter in the gut. He stumbled slightly before Tony caught him and asked him if he was alright. Peter didn't know where it came from but he felt more than angry at the question. "No I am not okay!" Peter yelled at Tony and ran off. He knew exactly where he was going. He ran until he reached a familiar house and knocked on the door. The door opened and Mrs. Leeds lost her bright smile fast. "Peter what's the matter, honey?"
"Can I speak with Ned please?" Bed showed up and was already horrified to hear about what had happened, "MJ was attacked on the street and she..um...sh-she...died. She died Ned. She's gone." Peter sounded hysterical. He was crying and he soon fell on the ground in front of Ned. Ned helped him up, and led him to the couch where he sat him down and then went to go get some clothes for Peter to borrow. Peter very slowly changed into the clothes. Ned had sent a message to Tony. Peter sat there for an hour just staring blankly at the wall. Mrs. Leeds tried to get him to drink and eat, but it was useless. Ned just talked with Tony in the other room. "He thinks it was Mysterio and Adrian Toomes. He blames himself." Tony said. Tony then went and sat beside Peter. He just talked to Peter and he put his arm on his shoulder. After about a minute of Tony talking, Peter sobbed.
"I thought it might just be a nightmare I tried to sit here and wake myself up, dad, but I couldn't. It's real. This unbearable pain that I'm feeling is real. She's really gone." Peter sat there and broke down, and Tony couldn't do nothing but watch. "This is my fault. Mysterio and Toomes want to break me, they want to make me suffer, and the only way they thought they could was b-by killing...her. They killed her and now she's gone and I don't know how to move on from this pain." Peter cried.
"It's not your fault. You have no control on anyone's choices but your own. This was the work of some muggers, or maybe Mysterio and Toones are responsible, and in that case we're gonna hunt them down and get them. We'll send them to a more secure prison, and make sure they stayed locked up in cells far in the ground where there's nothing but walls for them to look at. Now come on Pete, you can make it through this just like anything else." Tony said.
"Okay, but we need help, from one man in particular." Peter said making Tony confused.
A couple hundred miles away a phone rang. "Hello."
"Hello, Doctor Strange, it's Peter Parker. I need your help."
