Self Sacrifice

T.W- Deals with school shootings

(Peter's P.O.V)

Non-stop today my senses have been growing louder and louder, but i never understood why. That is until i am sat in class, senses louder than ever before. Then i hear it, it's soft and far away but i will always be able to identify that noise. The cocking of a gun. 

I stand abruptly, ignoring the shouts of my teacher, i walk over to the door and lock it; and turn of the lights. Just before i can say what is happening the principles voice is heard over the intercom (Is that right? I'm not sure) "Please remain calm and lock the doors, there is an intruder on sight". Everyone looks to me shocked, but then panic. "Calm down and head to the back of the class room. Stay low and quite" She whispers out. Everyone complies, some with fear in their eyes, others with tears streaming down their face. 

Silence consumes the room as i reach for my phone in my back pocket. It's a special stark phone, only i have this version. If i press the home button five times and type in the code it sends a distress signal to my dad. So that's what i do. 

But as i type in the code something slams into the door, desperately i type in the last of the code before the door is broken open. Three men walk in, guns held out in front of them and directed toward us. One man steps forward the other two staying on guard, ready to attack. The man that stepped forward growls out "Hand me all your phones", everyone hand them in, at least until it gets to me. I watch my phone praying for it to show a little tick signalling to the signal has been sent. "Oi" The man says, just before he can do anything else i see the little tick and hand over my phone.

The men seem unsatisfied with what they have done as they scan the room looking for someone. Their eyes land on Flash and the second man stalks toward him, gun pointed to Flash. He grabs Flash by the collar and yanks him up, "This will do" He says to the other two men. They nod in agreement, but i know i have to help. 

"Wait" I say standing up, my hands up in surrender. The men turn swiftly to me man one and three both point their guns at me, man two with his gun against Flash's head. "Take me instead. Please" I say almost in a pleading tone. The men seem to agree with their eyes as the man holding Flash roughly shoves him to the ground, he grabs me and i can feel the gun pressed tightly against my temple. Everyone stares at me with wide eyes, Flash's eyes hold tears and guilt. 

Before we move i heard the thrusters in the distance and smile, but i don't seem to be the only one because man one says, "Iron man is coming. Do it". Before i can really react i hear the sound of a gun and quickly move, a bullet lodging itself into my stomach. I stumble back, pain clouding my eyes as i fall to the floor. Everyone cries out, some loud some quite. I can feel the blood dripping down my chest and covering the white floor but i don't have the energy to try to stop the blood. 

I can hear the sound of glass shattering and metal clad feet hitting the floor, but don't concentrate on any of it. I hear shouting and three thuds of something hitting the floor, then something warm on my face. Re-focusing my eyes i see my dads worried face over me, i can also feel pressure on my wound. "Hey bud. I'm here now, you're safe okay" he says soothingly. I nod as i fall into oblivion, knowing i'm safe.
