Spider's poison

After Party

Sequel to last part...

They all ate their food & after pictures, everyone left.

Betty joined them, Peter didnt mind one extra person coming & neither did May.

May had to leave the apartment about 20 minutes after they arrived. "I know you just had dinner but I'm gonna be gone all night, so here", May handed Peter $40.

"Thanks May", Peter put the money in his pocket & walked back to the coffee table, where everyone was waiting for him.

"Hey Mj, can I sit next to Ned", Betty asked. Mj got up & switched places with Betty, who was sitting by Peter.

Peter glares at Betty before Mj sits down. "Hey", Peter says covering the nervousness in his voice.

"Hi", Mj says. Everyone attention falls on Harley, who was talking about a game. "What game are we playing"?

Harley reached into his bag & pulled out some small glasses, shot glasses. Everyone's eyes shot to Harley. "You guys are gonna be fine", Harley says. "I'm just loosening you up". Harley winked at Peter then smirked slightly. Peter returned the look with hatred in his eyes. Harley laughed through it.

He pulled out a bottle, it was whiskey. He poured 1 glass with the whiskey & left the other 3 untouched. Harley then pulled 4 identical clothes from his bag & places them over the glasses. He switched them up to where nobody could identify the whiskey glass & pushed them forward.

"It's called whiskey roulette", Harley said. "Each of you will pick one glass, but dont uncover it. The person with the shot has to take it".

Each shared a concerned look to one another, Mj was the first to grab a glass. Ned as second, then Betty. Peter hesitated but grabbed the last one.

Each uncover their glass revealing who had the whiskey, it was Ned. He furrowed his eyebrows then took it.

Harley set it up again, Betty got it that time. Then Peter, Ned, Mj, then Betty again. They continued the game throughout the night, 'til the bottle was empty.

Ned had gotten 7 shots, Betty had 5, Mj had 6, & to Peter's luck he got 9. None of them could stand.

Peter's head sway & he couldn't remember 5 minutes ago. The night was loud, blasting sound through his ears. His eyes focused & fuzzed, leaving him with an excruciating headache, he also weasel extremely dizzy. Stumbling into the walls, Peter made his way to his bedroom.

He lay down on his bed & covering his eyes with his hands, relieved by the darkness & silence. All suddenly stopped when a knock acquired his door.

He uncovered his eyes & saw Mj leaning in the doorway. "Hey", her word slurred. "Why aren't you out there with us"? Mj stumbled forward. Peter sat up on the edge of his bed, Mj sat next to him.

"Yeah, my head hurt so I came in here to lay down", Peter said, his words also slurring. "It's to loud & bright out there for me right now".

Mj listened to his words carefully, she stood up & turned the light off. "Is that better", she asks. He nodded his head.

The moon light shining through the window was enough light for the room. The light was dim aswell, shadows were the only thing visible. The silence & darkness was pleasing.

The silence & darkness made the world disappear & nothing mattered. Peter fell back onto his bed & slowly started to drift off. He felt the bed suddenly sink then settle. Two warm arms fell on him & he finally got some rest.

Peter woke up to the light blasting his eyes, it was blinding even with his eyes closed. He sat up & noticed Mj was gone. He felt that feeling of loneliness & sadness fall over him. He stood up & walked to the living room, nobody was home. All the rooms were empty.

He continued to look & noticed the sound. Nothing. The streets were silent, the floors didnt squeak, & not even his footsteps could be heard.

Puzzled, Peter stomped his foot 3 times. Nothing could be heard.

"What the hell", Peter said. But not even the words he spoke could be heard.

The room got brighter & brighter in seconds until Peter couldn't stand the light. He covered his eyes.

He removed his arm from his view & sound was thrusted into his ears. The scenery was familiar, he just couldn't tell why.

Rubble scattered all over the ground, the sky was dim, the air was smoky, & the sound of screeching was heard.

Peter turned around & immediately recalled where he was. He was Avengers compound, or what was left of it.

He saw Tony, on his knees infront of Thanos, while streams of energy flow through his skin.

"And I... Am..... Ironman", Tont snapped. The world went white.

Peter was in a completely white room. The walls to bright to look at.

"Hey kid", A voice says behind Peter. He whips around to see Tony standing there in all white clothing.

"Mr. Stark", Peter ran towards him but was stopped by something. A transparent wall with blue affect on it when applied pressure.

"You cant come in kid", Tony said. "You cant join me here, not yet".

"Tony please", Peter begged. He pounded on the wall. "Please Tony", Peter cried.

"Why are you here kid", Tont asks, his voice echoed through the rather large room. "You have no reason to be".

"I dont know why I'm here", Peter said between sobs. "I guess I had to see you". Tony shook his head.

"Do you feel guilty for this", Tony asked? "You feel responsible for my death". Tony said stepping towards the wall.

"There could've been another way", Peter cried.

"There wasnt", Tont said taking another step. "It was fate & nobody can change that, not even us".

Peter's sobs got out of control, the tears running down his face like a river.

Peter wiped his tears away once, then twice & on the third time, he was back in his room.

He shot up out of breath. He placed his hands beside him & felt her legs. He must have startled her, because she too sat up. Neither said a word, they just listened to the silence in the room.

Mj placed her hand on his, showing him sympathy & making him feel better. Peter felt better before she did it though, he felt as if a burden was lifted off his shoulder for the 1st time in months.

"The nightmares", Mj asked, her voice was quiet?

"Not anymore", Peter's voice was steady & calm. He felt good. They lay back down & let the dark take them away, they fell asleep rather easily & Peter did not have another nightmare that night. He got a good nights rest.
