Chapter 3: You're Awake

"Peter?"

Peter opened his eyes to be met with the harsh blinding white lights. He flinched back and quickly shut his eyes, there was a loud buzzing in his ear and it felt like he could feel every thread on his skin. His senses were going haywire and he didn't know when the climax would hit.

"Friday turn on Sensory Overload Protocol."

Peter felt the light dim and the buzzing turned into a quiet hum. Peter forced his eyes open, relief when they weren't attacked by the lights. Looking to his left he saw Tony beside him with a smile.

"Mr Stark?" Peter crooked out. Tony handed him a glass and Peter practically chugged it down. "Is-is everyone back?"

Tony huffed out a laugh, "Yes, everyone's back and safe. All thanks to you."

"Good... good." Peter sighed, closing his eyes.

"You know, everyone's been waiting for you." Tony said, running his hand through Peter's hair.

"How long was I out for?"

"One month."

Peter's eyes flew open and widened in shock. "One month!" He sat up straight but immediately regretted it.

"Woah there champ. Calm down. Don't need you to be sent back into a coma. Speaking of which, Friday call Bruce down here."

"Yes Boss. Hello Peter, glad you are awake."

"Thanks Friday." Peter smiled.

Suddenly Bruce barged into the room, panicked. "What is it? Friday said you called and that it was an emergency about Peter. Is he okay? What happ-" Bruce stopped when he saw Peter awake, "-ened. You're awake."

"Yes Brucie, he's awake. That's why I called you here." Tony sassed.

"Right." Bruce went to check Peter. Make sure he was fine and that he's one the right path to recovery. "Well looks like you'll recover just fine. Do you happen to have a healing factor?"

"Yes?"

"That explains a lot." Bruce said walking towards the door. He opened and was about to leave when a small child ran past him.

"Petey!" A small voice yelled out and running in at full speed was Morgan. She jumped right into Tony's arms and made grabby hands at Peter. Tony gave Peter Morgan and she immediately hugged him, hiding her face in the crook of Peter's neck. Peter sat up so he was in a half laying half sitting position and Morgan was laying on his chest.

"Hey Morgan."

"Can we play now?" Morgan asked, sitting up.

"Baby, he needs rest. You can play later." Tony said.

"But he promised we could play later. And this is much later."

"I know. I'm a little late on that promise but we can play once I'm out of this bed." Peter said. Morgan pouted but didn't argue. Instead she snuggled back into Peter.

"Out of everyone, I believe she took it the hardest."

"Out of everyone?"

"Well your friends come over almost everyday. They hang out with Shuri and Harley mostly but the four of them come here to see you everyday. Sometimes the little ones would join them."

Peter took this time to look at tony and take in his appearance. "Have you slept properly or eaten properly in the past month? Please don't tell me you went back to drinking your problems away."

"No. Thankfully. I've slept and Pepper sends Morgan to get me to eat. The little devils."

"Devils or angels." Peter said, gesturing to the napping Morgan.

"Both."

Suddenly the door opened and Ned and MJ were standing there. Tony got up and gently took Morgan from Peter and left the almost adults alone. The three stood there in silence.

"Um... hey guys."

Ned broke out of his shock state and ran to Peter.

"Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh! You're awake!" Ned hugged Peter and Peter laughed while returning the hug. He looked at MJ who was still standing there.

"Glad your awake dork." MJ said and punched Peter in the shoulder.

"We heard the little punk was awake." Harley's voice was heard.

"Be nice." Shuri said pushing past Harley.

"Good to see you to." Peter rolled his eyes.

"Don't go rolling your eyes sir. We weren't the one with the broken promise." Harley waved his finger like a parent saying no to their child.

"I didn't break any promise." Peter said.

Everyone gave him the are you serious look.

"If I remember, I said I promise not to do anything I regretted. I don't regret doing what I did. I never said I wouldn't sacrifice myself."

"Smartass."

Peter shrugged his shoulder. "Death is an occupational hazard. Besides when has death stopping me?"

"Your an idiot."

"I thought you guys said I was a smartass?" Peter smirked.

"Nope, you are the dumbass' honorary smartass."

"Works for me."

"Now I wish you were still in a coma. At least them we wouldn't have to hear your smart mouth." Harley joked.

"Come hit me with a frying pan then. Oh wait, enhanced healing, probably won't even dent my skull. Maybe get Thor's hammer?"

"Oh my Thor."

"Peter. No. Just stop."

Peter smiled. Conversation kept going but Peter felt like there were eyes on him. Scanning the room Peter didn't see anything out of the ordinary. His Spidey Senses weren't going off so its not like it's a threat. Then again if his senses weren't going off then maybe this is a side effect from waking up from a coma. Peter would have dismissed it until he heard a small quiet voice. So quiet that even his enhanced hearing almost didn't pick it up.

'Midnight. On the roof. I'll be waiting.'
