Peter was no stranger to nightmares, he had them every night for months after the Venom incident.  They started out normal, he was in his Spiderman suit just swinging over New York looking for trouble, but then it all went downhill, suddenly he was back in the underground lab and saw Doctor Octopus and his fithly exusce of a mother inject him with the Symbiote and he turns back into Venom. Only when his father tries to get through to him, he's completely powerless over Venom's control and forced to watch as his father is beat to near death. He never saw what happened next as he always woke up screaming and crying, Tony was always there to hold him when it happened and Peter being beyond terrified and desperate for comfort didn't mind at all. Some teens might call him a whimp for crying like a small child during the night in his father's arms, but Peter didn't care, so what if he was almost sixteen and clung to his father for comfort. For almost thirteen years, Tony had basically been missing from his life, only appearing on TV or in Peter's dreams about his vauge memories. However after so many nights without having any, Peter was surprised to have them return after the day he had after school. He was trying to finish his homework but really wasn't getting anywhere due to his fatigue. So he decided to just close his eyes for second, and before long he feel asleep on his physics textbook.

He was in a lab, that much was clear but it was different then the one at Oscorbs, this one was somehow under water and instead of being restrained to a table, he was behind bars. Wait he was behind bars!? Panic went through his whole body and he tried to break through the bars with his super strength but his attempts we're futile,  "well look whose finally awake, " a voice said and a shiver ran down Peter's spine. 'No please no, you're dead you can't be here, ' Peter thought as he saw Doctor Octopus step out of the darkness carrying someone small in his arms. Peter wanted to tell him to piss off but his mouth wouldn't move, "you have nothing to say experiment, I am the one who gave you your powers after all. " The six armed man sneered but once again Peter's mouth refused to move, it was like his face was petrified with fear. "Well if your not going to talk, let's see if my other guest will? " Doctor Octopus asked mockingly and then turned a light on and much to Peter's horror, Morgan was the one who appeared, her tiny little hands we're chained to a table and Peter suddenly found the ability to speak again. "Don't touch her! " He yelled, "you don't give me orders junior Stark, I gave you the chance to be unstoppable but you threw that chance away and then you left me for dead. So know I'm returning the favor, " Doc Oc said angrily and then gave Peter an evil smile. "Your quarrel is with me and only me, leave my sister out of it! " Peter practically begged but Doc Oc was deaf to his pleas and walked over to Morgan with a very familiar symboite.
"No!!! " Peter awoke with a start, his face was covered with sweat and he still could feel the fear pilled up in his throat. He panted for a very long time, trying to calm himself down, 'it was just a dream, it wasn't real. ' He mentally told himself over and over again, it looked at the clock and saw that it was almost five thirty in the afternoon,
"I guess I was asleep for almost two hours. " Peter said as he rubbed his face for what felt like the 100th time, he didn't want to sit at his desk anymore, infact he didn't ever want to fall asleep again if he was going to have nightmares like that again. He got up and left his room, just to calm his mind a bit.
"Peter it appears that you are in distress, would you like me to call your father? " Friday asked her voice echoing through the tower and making Peter jump.
"No I'm fine, Friday it was just a nightmare, " Peter stated,  his Dad was out with Pepper since the two hadn't had a night to themselves since Morgan was born. "whaaaaaa! " His little sister cried from her play pen, 'it still amazes me that she can be so loud when she is so little, ' he thought as he got up and picked her up.
"What's wrong little miss?  " he asked and she gazed up at him with a tearful expression, he didn't know what she wanted but he figured just holding her a for while would calm her down a bit. She babbled something at him that he didn't understand but it was much better then hearing her scream.
"You know you really keep everyone in the tower on their toes, its like you run the place even though your only three months old. " Peter told her and she gave him an adorable smile, 'she's so innocent and fragile, I can't let anything happen to her. ' Peter thought as he held her
"you don't have to cry sorellina your big brother isn't going to let anything happen to you. " He told her and in response Morgan took his finger and began sucking on it "please don't eat my finger, I would have a very hard time explaining that to Dad. " Peter laughed,
