Morgan coughed as she walked around the house hallway towards downstairs. The air was smoggy and the avengers tower was burning. She walked towards the main living room and went wide eyed as a huge fire was lighting the area. The long big glass windows were shattered and she hurried towards the edge only to look down and gasp as a bunch of ants, or that's what they looked like, stared up above. The people below screamed and loud noises were heard.

"Daddy!" Morgan yelled as she hurried out the living room coughing. She went down the hallway but didn't see anyone. She coughed again and the fire started to spread more. She ran into her room and slammed the door gasping for the good air quality still in her bedroom.

Peter listened to his loud music when his spider senses picked up an awful smell. He put his headphones down and listened carefully. Crackling of fire? Fire... "FIRE!" Peter screamed falling off his web hammock. "DAD! MORGAN! ANYONE!" Peter opened his door and everything was black. The air was so thick, and it began to fill his room.

Peter coughed and ran into the hallways hoping to get Morgan. "Hello?!" Peter yelled out. He ran towards the main kitchen which was close to Morgans bedroom; only to see fire. A huge blaze of fire.

"I can do this." Peter coughed out and he ran towards the other living room, narrowly missing the fire. He turned the corner and opened up the door only to spot Morgan coughing and crying as smoke filled her room. She was huddled against her bookshelf holding her iron man doll. "MORGAN!"

"Peter!!" She cried out and lifted up her hands. He lifted her up and held her tightly as she wrapped her legs around him. "I'm scared." She coughed out.

"I- I know." He quickly turned on her bathroom faucet and ran a shirt under it. "Breath into this and close your eyes."

She gripped him tighter and he ran out the door. It was chaotic. Huge explosions were heard from the many lab equipment items. Lab equipment items... SHIT! Peter turned his head and listened. Run. He took off running as a huge explosion was heard behind him. Morgan's soon to be lab that wasn't too far away began to explode from the nitrogen kept in there. Peter hurried past the kitchen and towards another hallway. WHY IS IT SO BIG?!

Tony sipped his water and wiped his forehead. The team was practicing and had there thing under "lock down mode" Meaning no distractions can get to them, unless of course there was a huge monster attack on the city. Everyone kept missing there practice days because of distractions, so they decided to do the practicing today. He went towards the end of the room where the water jug was, and began to refill his water bottle when he noticed some light smoke begin to slowly enter from the vents.

"Guys..." Tony paused. "Any chance someone is playing with smoke bombs?"

The team walked towards him and they looked at the smoke become a bit thicker. "FIRE!" They yelled at once and hurried out the door only to be met with thick smoke. "Shit!"

"Hurry the staircase is in front." Steve said and they grabbed hands as they carefully felt around the wall. Steve opened the exit staircase and they fell onto the stairs. They were high up and they could hear fire fighters trying to come up.

"Run!" Steve yelled and they all went except for Tony who suddenly stopped. Steve turned his head and looked straight into Tony's eyes. They were wide eyed, his face pale like he just saw a ghost, and mouth slightly parted. "Tony?"

"PETER! MORGAN!" Tony yelled almost in a crying gasp and he turned back inside the burning building. Tony coughed out as he quickly ran through the hallways. Everything was on fire. He couldn't breath. His lungs felt like they were on fire, and his eyes were watery. "PETER!" Tony screamed out. "MORGAN!"

"TONY!" Another voice yelled and Steve came running up with him. "PETER! MORGAN!"

They couldn't hear anything but the loud fire, furniture dropping, and explosions. Tony and Steve raced for Peters room but there was too much fire. A loud noise was heard and they turned to see fire fighters on the outside of the broken glass windows.

"Mr. Captain and Iron man." They yelled out. "Please come over to us."

"Maybe they are out?" Tony said turning his head and Steve nodded in agreement. Steve ran towards the window and got in. Tony stared around once more and didn't hear any noises or cries for help. Peter is smart, he got Morgan and they safely escaped. He got onto the ladder from the helicopter and it took off right on time as the whole entire living room exploded.

Tony didn't feel alive as he stared at the open caskets of his two children. They laid there so peacefully, like they are sleeping, yet they looked dead. They are dead. The team wrapped arms around Tony as he stared at Morgan's princess casket, she wore a beautiful white dress and small crown. An iron man and spider man doll next to her. Next was Peter who was in a spider-man casket. He wore his spider suit, his mask laid aside next to his head and pictures of the team and him smiling taped on the walls of his casket.

It felt unreal. They died. And Tony thought they weren't in the building. He could have saved them. The two children were found hours later by fire fighters. They were burnt and cradling one another inside Peters bathroom, a damp shirt was in front of Morgan's mouth. They died from smoke inhalation. Tony didn't save his children. His kids....
