Chapter One

{edited}

It was a Thursday night and May was out with some friends. Peter was out for patrol, everything was good. He had stopped an assault, a robbery and some minor fights here and there. It was almost 3:00 AM when he decided to call it a day and head back to the apartment since he had a science presentation for school the next day and he wanted to be well-rested for once. As he was webbing/swinging his way back home, police and ambulance sirens caught his eye/ear near the bar downtown where May was supposed to be.

"May!" he thought as he rushed to the place.

He landed next to a police officer, startling him, not paying attention to him though and run immediately in the bar. He froze at the sight of his aunt's lifeless and soulless body lying on the floor with four shot wounds on her chest.

"May! Please don't leave me, what am i going to do, please May! I love you, i love you, it's all my fault, i should've been there please, no!" he said as he broke down next to his aunt's body.
He had ripped his mask off not caring if his identity got exposed. A police officer approached him.

"Uh.. Spider-Man? I- uh- I'm sorry for your loss but we have to take her to the hospital in order to confirm her death. My condolences." Said the police officer as his place next to Peter took two paramedics who picked May up.
Peter didn't even hear the people behind him as he run, run to the apartment. Just as he got in, he broke down again crying even more, mourning for his loss. Loud sobs escaped his mouth and echoed in the room as he put his head in between his legs trying to control his crying. He hadn't realised that he was still in his suit until he heard his AI's voice.
"Peter, you seem to be in distress. Shall I inform Mr. Stark?"
"NO- no don't-"
"Calling Mr. Stark..."
"Goddamn it!" said Peter.
As he was about to cancel the call Tony picked up.
"Hey, kid, it better be important. What's up? You interrupted my beauty sleep!" said Tony with a chuckle but stopped as soon as he heard muffled sobs coming from the other end of the line.
"Hey Peter? Are you okay? What happened? Are you hurt? Should I come?" said Tony with concern.
He wouldn't admit it but he had grown close to the kid, as if he was his son and he loved him like one.
"No, no, no Mr. Stark don't worry it's nothing really I just, uhh, was watching a movie, yeah, and got kinda sad with the end, yeah that's it." he mumbled.
"Kid, are you sure? You were sobbing. I don't think it's just a movie. Stay put, I'm comming."
"No Mr. Stark don't- you don't have to!"
"I don't have to but I want to." said Tony and hung up.
Not long after he heard a knock on the door. "Hey Pete it's me open the door." Tony's voice could be heard.
Peter silently went to open the door. When he opened it he was met with a concerned Tony Stark.

Way to go, Peter. You made him upset as if he didn't have other things on his mind. You only cause problems."Shut up" he murmured to himself.

"Peter? Peter! Are you listening? Where's May? What happened kid?" repeated the billionaire with a louder voice this time. Loud enough to snap Peter out of his thoughts.

"She, um, sh-she got killed just a few hours ago."
"Oh, kid." said the elder and pulled him into a tight hug. Peter started crying again not being able to hold his tears back.
"She- she is dead Tony, what am i gonna do im gonna have to- to go to an orphanage a-and i don't want to Tony, i- it's my fault anyways, I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sor-" a sob cut him off.

Suddenly, Peter's breath shortened and he started hyperventilating.

"Hey, hey Peter calm down, okay, I'm here, shhh it's okay, it's not your fault, breathe with me in-out, in-out, like this." said Tony while still holding him close and running his hand through the kid's hair. Once he calmed down, the spiderling released and turned to look sleepily at Tony
"Hey, Tony?"
"Mmm?"
"Thank you."
"Yeah, yeah no problem Pete. You're like a son to me after all and you know it. I'm always here for you if you need me."
"Mmhm. M'gonna sleep now. M'tired. G'night Tony"
"Goodnight, kid." said Tony and fell fast asleep while still embracing his kid in a hug. Yeah, his kid.
