"I wasn't aiming for you." "For what it's worth Peter, I really am sorry."
Peter felt the weight of the building fall on him and the train hitting him all at the same time. He was screaming and Beck and Toomes laughed at his pain with the building sitting on top of him and the train hitting him.

"Somebody help I-I'm down here! I can't breathe!"
"You did this to yourself Peter." "M-Mom?" "Peter darling you could have been so much more but look at you. You nothing." "Mom please help me!" Peter cried as he saw his mom standing in front of him, Ben and his Dad emerging from behind her.

"You could have saved me Peter. You had your powers and you didn't do anything to help me. You let me die." Ben said with disgust in his voice.
"Ben please I- I'm sorry!!" Peter cried as his family surrounded him chanting that he was nothing but a useless kid and that he could have became so much more, leaving Peter to scream in both emotional pain from the chanting from his family and the physical pain from the building and the train.

"-id! Kid wake up!" Tony said as Peter jerked awake, mid scream. "Bambi, what happened?" Tony asked softly, reaching out to comb through the boys tangled curls in an effort to calm him down.

"I-it's nothing Mr. Stark. I'm okay." Peter said tears running down his face and his breathing still irregular. "Pete, it's okay to not be okay. You can not be okay right now." Tony said looking at the child, he so wished was his own.

At his words, Peter immediately broke down crying and told his da-Tony the details of the horrific nightmare he just witnessed. "A-and I was trapped under the building Tony!!" Peter cried, "Wait what building?" Tony asked, "Oh um..you know that whole homecoming thing...wi-with the plane?" Peter asked nervously, "Yeah..what about it?" Tony said.

"Well uh..you see before I kinda had to crash the plane...Toomes kind of dropped a building on me..I thought he was aiming for me but he-he was aiming for the supports. Tony he wanted to kill me!!" Peter said, breaking down into more tears and collapsing against his mentors chest.

"Hey Pete I need you to breathe okay? Follow mine okay? In...out....in.....out" Tony said, exaggerating his breathing so Peter would calm down.

After about twenty minutes Peter finally calmed down and Tony spoke up, "Why didn't you tell me about him dropping a building on you?" "It really never seemed important because in the end I got out. I lifted the building off of myself and chased down Toomes, saving your plane but destroying that beach." Peter said, wiping the rest of his tears from his face and scratching the back of his neck.

"Next time, which there won't be a next time, you tell me. Even if Karen tells me I want to hear it from you, because she's an AI and I want what you saw and what you felt because kid...I'm not gonna let you go through what I went through after New York. I just won't let it happen." Tony said, looking at Peter. "What do you mean?" Peter asked, slightly confused.

"Kiddo, I had panic attacks for years, as well as anxiety attacks. They were horrible and I couldn't sleep. They almost ruined mine and Pepper's relationship because neither of us knew how to deal with them, but now we do and we have a system for me." Tony said, taking a deep breathe and pulling Peter into a hug before continuing, "Pete, I'm going to do everything in my power to make you a system. Those things sucked and I still have them from time to time and I suffer from nightmares as well-" Tony said, only to be interrupted, "But Tony, all that stuff was way worse than mine. Why do I get them this bad?" Peter asked.

"Bambi, it doesn't matter how bad mine or yours was. What matters is that it affected us in a negative way and it traumatized us. People can get traumatized by what seems to be the littlest thing but to them it's the biggest, and tomorrow morning you and I, we are going to figure out a way for you to deal with these because nightmares suck and I want you to be okay but I understand why you aren't right now, but hopefully sometime soon you will be." Tony said with a small smile.

"Thank you Tony." Peter said sincerely, "It's no problem kid. Get some sleep." Tony said standing up to leave, "WAIT!", Tony turned back around, "Could...could you...stay with me?" Peter asked timidly, "Yeah, of course kid." Tony said as he crawled under the sheets.

Peter laid his head right next to Tony's arc reactor, letting the slight hum of it lull him to sleep, and right before he fell completely asleep he mumbled, "Goodnight Dad, I love you.", and fell asleep.

"I love you too Bambino." Tony said as he hugged his son closer and that's how the famous Pepper Potts found the two the next morning, both sleeping peacefully and sporting slight smiles of their fast asleep faces.

Okay this is absolute GARBAGE. I'm extremely sorry that this is not exactly up to the standards my other ones are but it's literally one am where I am and I got the inspiration for this laying in bed and wanted to write it all before I forgot it.

Either way I hope you all enjoyed it.

Love you all
