Fallen Spider [Irondad Spiderson]

Chapter Four-Why Are You Lying?

*Stark's POV*

Why couldn't I see it? Of course, he's being bullied. Goddammit I should have stopped this sooner. Damn Thompson. He's going to regret this.

*3rd Person POV*

Tony pressed the earpiece at the side of his ear and started a call. "Banner gets the med bay ready, I got Peter. He's pretty beat up"
"Shit what happened"
"Some asshole at his school"

Laying in a medical bed, peter began to shake in his sleep.
"Stark, something's wrong with Pete," Bruce said.
"Fuck" Tony muttered.
He walked up to the boy and Bruce stayed at his station watching Pete's vitals. "He's not severely injured but I don't know what's happening. It might be a nightmare. Poor kid"

*Parker's POV*

Standing. I'm standing in a room surrounded by all the avengers. Even non-avengers. They're all talking. Everything about me.
"You're not my Spiderling. You're nothing to me. Pathetic little spider"
"You never were my intern. You're so pathetic that I really had no choice. You only live in the compound because your aunt doesn't want you"
"N-no" I whisper tears stinging at my eyes.
"I'm the oldest here and in all my time I've never seen something so gross, ugly, and PATHETIC as you!"
"I agree with that too" Bucky snickered as he looked at Steve then back to me.
"I may be powerful but no amount of magic can save a fuck up like you"
The cloak of levitation curled up around my mouth and nose. I knew it was a dream but I felt like I was actually suffocating.
"I may be a doctor but I would never want to save you. You're what makes me angry. YOU bring the big guy out."
"Why would I ever want to be your aunt. You let my husband die and you force me to love you. I'm glad you live with Tony now"
"I may be able to get small, but your importance is even smaller than that" Scott started laughing and so did the others.
"D"
"D"
"Id"
"Kid"
"Hey kid wake up"

*Stark's POV*

Pete sat up quickly, his tear-stained face lacquered in pain. I hugged him and he clung to me. It pained me to see him In this state. Almost as if he realized what he was doing he let go and curled up into a ball on the opposite side of the medical bed.
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark, I'm sorry" Peter cried out.
"Pete everything is okay, you're okay. You have nothing to apologize for kid"
He stayed silent in the same position, his face hidden. All I could hear were his muffled sobs. Once he was a little calmer I decided to start asking questions.
"Pete, what was your nightmare about?"
"I-nothing. I didn't have a nightmare. My b-body just hurts."
"Peter".
"It was nothing!" Peter insisted. "I swear".
"Why are you lying to me, I know it's not nothing and I need you to tell me now!"
Tears threatened to spill from his eyes.
Crap
"Look kid, I didn't mean to yell. I'm just worried about you. You know you can tell me anything right?" The boy broke down and I  instantly felt bad. I hugged him again and he grabbed me tight pulling on my shirt and back making sure I'm close to him. His sobs were heavy and stained my shirt but I didn't mind. "Can you tell me about your dream?"
"I'm sorry Mr. Stark!" He cried out again "they hate me"
"Who? Who hates you kid?"
"All of them. Nat, Clint, Bruce, Aunt May....you"
"Oh, kid! I don't hate you! In fact, I'm rather fond of you! You're a great kid. Good in school, one of the best heroes I know"
Pete just stayed silent and I patted his shoulder.
"Kid no one here hates you, we all love you like family"
"Really?" he asked me.
"No," I said bluntly and he looked at me with tears in his eyes again.
"We don't love you like family because you are family. We would do anything for you kid."
He sniffled and looked away. "T-thanks Mr. Stark"
"No problem kid.... and for god's sake call me Tony!" I joked. Pete giggled and it seemed genuine. That brought a smile to my face.
All of a sudden there was a loud bang and the door shot open. A familiar redhead appeared.
"BITCH I LOVE YOUUU"
"Thanks, Nat..."
"TAKE MY MOTHERFUCKING LOVE AND AFFECTION BITCH"
"Okay okay I love you too" Peter smiled.
Damn, she really does have a soft spot for the kid. But to be honest who doesn't. Even me. I think everyone goes in parent mode when Pete joins us on missions.

A portal appeared in the air I knew thor did something.
"Hey, Stephen...  what did he do this time?" A familiar friend walked out of the portal carrying a large bag with magic. A red cloak surrounded his body and tapered out at the end.
"*sigh* I found this at home trying to ask for a magic beer pint" Stephen Strange emptied out the bag revealing Thor and Clint falling to the floor.

"Really guys?"Cap says from the corner next to Bruce.
"Honestly what do you expect from them?"
Natasha grabbed Thor and Clint by the ears and started dragging them over to Steve and Bruce.
Stephen walked up to Peter.
"Hello, you must be Peter Parker! Are you alright you don't look to be in the healthiest condition?"
"Stephen" I scolded telling him to leave that subject be.
"Well anyways, hi Peter, I'm Stephen Strange," he said putting his hand out. Peter returned a still trembling hand to meet his
"H-hi Doctor Strange. It n-nice meets y-you"
"Oh, I think it likes you" Stephen chuckled as the cloak snuggled up against him.

I heard sniffling coming from Peter's room. I knocked and he didn't answer.
"Everything okay in there?"
"U-um yeah" replied a shaky voice. That kid should go to sleep already so I don't have to worry.
