Spider Man 🕷 One Shots

Peter Stark-Rogers || Meningitis

Idea: sian981 

-3 Person POV-

It has been almost two weeks since Peter started feeling ill and hasn't told his fathers about it. He didn't worry too much about it, because he knew that his metabolism would take care of whatever sickness he had, but he had been feeling bad for more than a week and it became worse over time. Maybe it is better to tell them about it, but they have been very busy for quite a while now...

Peter was sitting in the living room with Clint who was playing video games and Peter was trying to take a little nap. He was been having severe headaches and is more sensitive to bright light and loud noises than normal. Peter has a lot of experience with handling bright light and loud noises ever since the spider bite, but it feels different than normal.

''Dinner is done!'' Steve yelled from the kitchen and one by one everyone came to the dinner table in the kitchen. Steve had made his famous spaghetti, and everyone started eating except for Peter, he was pushing the food around on his plate. He had a stomachache and he knew that if he ate now he must vomit later, that thought drove his appetite away. The action also didn't go unnoticed, by the other Avengers who knew about Peter's metabolism.

''Are you okay, Kiddo?'' Tony asked Peter, who has been suspicious about something being wrong for quite a while now. He noticed that Peter had been less energized than normal and now the loss of appetite confirms that something is wrong. ''It's nothing. I'm just not hungry today. Don't worry about it.'' Peter says with a fake smile, trying to assure them that everything is okay, but they can look right through it, but decide to let it slide for now.

The rest of dinner was quiet, and Peter asked if he could be excused for the rest of the night. They had planned to watch a movie together, but Peter would much rather just lie down in his quiet and dark room right now than by the loud chatters of his family. The Avengers let him do as he pleases and decide to hold a secret meeting when he is in his room and they are done with cleaning up.

''What do you guys think is wrong with him?'' Clint asked. ''I don't know. Maybe he is sick, but he isn't supposed to be able to get sick thanks to his fast healing. Bruce, do you have any idea what he could have if he was normal?'' Tony asked Bruce who was already thinking about all of Peter's symptoms.

''We should make a list of all the things that have been bothering Peter. I have the feeling that Peter has more than that he lets us see.'' Bruce suggested and they all began to think about what Peter had been doing differently than normal. ''He is less energized.'' ''No appetite.'' ''He sleeps more.'' ''Leaves the room when there is a lot of sound.'' ''He looks paler than normal and maybe even a little thinner.''

After hearing all the things that Peter has, he still has no idea what he could have. ''I'm not sure what it could be. Let's just ask Peter over it tomorrow when he wakes up. There is a chance that he has for example stomachache or headaches. When we know other symptoms, we can help him.'' The others agreed with the plan and put on a movie to watch, but in the back of their minds, there was still some worry for Peter.

It's the next day and Peter wakes up from his alarm. He weakly reaches for his alarm and turns it off. He feels so weak and cold. Why is he feeling like this suddenly? Yesterday it was mostly his head and stomach, but this makes it 30 times harder to ignore. Peter closes his eyes again and doesn't even try to get out of bed. ''Peter, it seems like you are having a fever I will alert your fathers,'' FRIDAY says but it seems like Peter didn't hear her.

All the Avengers were in the kitchen drinking coffee and then while making breakfast. They were planning on asking while they were eating breakfast. ''Boss, Mr. Rogers Peter has a fever and needs immediate medical attention.'' Tony and Steve stop whatever they are doing and go to Peter's room with the other Avengers not far behind them. Steve opens the door and they are a little taken aback by Peter's current condition. Peter was very pale and looked like he was going to pass out any moment, but the most concerning of all was the skin rashes on his arm.
