Avengers One Shots

Heartbroken Pt. 2

Recap:

I stand up ready to leave the world behind. All my pain and sorrows will be free of me. Maybe life will be better for others now that I'll be gone. I'm nothing but a waste of space. I'm finally taking Flash's advice and removing myself from this planet. I take a deep breath and

Jump.

"Mr. Stark you may want to get to Peter immediately." Friday says.

"Why? He's in his room right? He's okay, right?"

"Peter left the building at approximately 9:36pm and has yet to return. The Baby Monitor Protocol was activated and he is currently on the roof." I furrow my eyebrows at that.

"What?" I ask as I stand up. "What's he doing on the roof?"

"I don't know boss."

I quickly put on my suit and and head to the elevator so Friday could take me up there. I had a weird feeling about this. When I get up there I see a figure fall and I panic. Please to Jesus almighty tell me that's not Peter.

"Friday, put all power into the thrusters." I barely made it there in time and just a few seconds later he would hit the pavement and died. As I held him in my arms I realized how light he felt. Why did I not notice how much he was hurting. I knew his breakup with Wade was a lot to handle for him. He loved Wade so much, with his entire being and I guess seeing him cheat literally broke him. I hate myself for not realizing sooner. Maybe I could've stopped his attempt and helped him get through his breakup. I'm a terrible father.

I made it back to the tower and took off the suit. I headed straight to Med Bay to see exactly what kind of condition my kid is in. When I get there I see Steve and Bucky. Bruce was treating Steve's wounds while Bucky was standing in front of him looking like he was scolding Steve. I would've been funny under different circumstances.

"Bruce! I need to you check on Peter!" I yell as I run to a bed. He whips around and heads over to us.

"What happened?"

"He jumped off the roof, I caught him just before he hit the pavement. He was unconscious when I got there. Please help my son." I begged.

"Okay, I need you guys to step out. I need space to work and I can't have you panicking over my shoulder." I nodded my head and walked out the door. Along with Bucky and Steve. Steve runs over to me and pulls me to his chest. I buried my face in his chest and let my tears out.

"Are you okay Tony?"

"N-No. How can I be o-okay when our son is unconscious in the M-Med Bay? I'm s-such a terrible father, I didn't even notice what he was go-going through! I knew his breakup with Wade was b-bad but I didn't know it was t-this bad. I didn't help him, I could've- I could've helped him. He f-felt so light S-Steve. Like he hadn't e-eaten anything. I...I can't do anything r-right." I sobbed. I had bottled everything inside for so long that it finally busted out. Why didn't I notice? Why couldn't I have helped him? Why? Why?? Why!?!

"Tony, hey Tony look at me. Its not your fault okay? I'm his dad too so I'm partly to blame. I didn't notice either and I feel terrible about it. We can both freak out and blame ourselves after he's alright. We need to be strong for him and everyone else, I know he wouldn't want us to panic. So just for now, we have to be strong and get through this together." Steve said while hugging me. He's right, I know he is but it's just hard not to break down and be in a blanket burrito. No, I have to pull myself together and be strong, for Peter.
