I'm sorry.






Peter opened the door to Mays room to wake her up for work.

He shook her gently.

"May? It's time to get up."
Peter shook her again, but more forcefully.

"May?"
He turned her around and stared in shock.

In her chest was a knife covered in blood. Mays eyes wide open.

With shaky hands, Peter put two fingers on her neck but couldn't feel a pulse. He tried her wrist but again, couldn't find a pulse.

Silent tears dripped down his face.

He took his slightly bloody hands up to his mouth in shock.

"May?"
He croaked out.

He picked up Mays phone that was on her dresser and dialled 911 with shaky fingers.

"Hello, 911, what's your emergency?"
The person asked.

"My-my aunt, she's dead."
Peter whispered out.

"What's your name?"

"Peter, Peter Parker."

"And what's your aunts name, Peter?"

"May."

"How old are you Peter?"

"Six-sixteen."

"Ok, and is there anyone else in the room?"

"No it's just me and my aunt in the apartment."

"Ok and do you know your address."

Peter told the operator the address.

"Ok you're doing really well Peter. Do you have anyone else you can call? Another family member, or a friend?"

"I can call my friend."

"Ok Peter. You call your friend and in two minutes the paramedics and police will be at your apartment."

"Ok, thank you."

"You did good Peter."

"Bye."
Peter hanged the phone up and went to get his phone from his room.

~~~

"Boss, you have an incoming call."
FRIDAYs voice awoke Tony from his slumber.

"Who is it?"

"Mr Parker sir."

"Answer please."

"Mr Stark?"
Peter's shaky voice rang out in Tony's room.

"Hey kid, you alright?"

"No. Mays dead."
Peter sniffed.

"What? When, how? Are you alright?"

"She got stabbed. There was blood everywhere. The paramedics and police are gonna be here in a minute."

"Ok, you hang tight and I'll be there in two minutes."

"Ok Mr Stark."

Tony hopped out of bed, more awake than he was just a few minutes ago, kissed his sleeping wife on the forehead, tapped his arc reactor and flew off in his suit.

~~~

"Hello? Peter Parker?"
Someone called out, knocking on the door.

Peter walked to the door and opened it.

"Hey kid, let's get you sat down and warmed up and the paramedics will go and see your aunt."
An officer said.

"Ok."
More silent tears dripped down his face as he sat down next to two police officers.

"So can you tell us what happened?"
The other police officer asked.

"I woke up at about 5am and I went to wake my aunt up when I found her like that."

"Ok, where is your room?"

"Just over there."
Peter pointed to his bedroom door.

"Ok. Do you have anywhere else to go? Like a family member or a close friend?"

"I told Mr Stark."

"Ok. Is he taking you to his?"

"I think so."

A man opened the window and climbed through.

"Put your hands up!"
The officers shouted.

"Hey! Just me, I'm here for Pete."
Tony said.

"Mr Stark."

"The one and only. Where's Peter?"

"Right here Mr Stark."
Peter sniffled out.

"Hey come here kid."
Peter was embraced with warm hands.

"Lets go to mine ok. You're not going to school. We'll just sit on the sofa, movies, ice cream and hot chocolate. That sound nice?"

"Yeah."
Peter mumbled.

"Come on. I'll be taking Peter with me now."

The two climbed out the window.







So this is the first one on the list, so get ready for 30 more angst one shots.
