Fallen Spider [Irondad Spiderson]

Chapter Five-PTSD(1)

Dreams, dreams oh they were terrible. They brought memories out of hiding Peter didn't want to remember. He hated them. They're what made him an insomniac. He tried his best not to, but eventually, he fell asleep.

*Parker's POV*

Building. The whole ground is rumbling and the buildings are cracking. I know what's going to happen and I look up, tears streamed down my face. Waiting for the buildings crack more.
SLAM...
They landed on me. I'm stuck. "Help! S-somebody help!"
Nobody's gonna help you. Not in your dream and not in real life.

*Stark's POV*

"SIR, PETER'S HEART RATE SEEMS TO BE UP AN INCREDIBLE AMOUNT AND HE SEEMS TO BE HYPERVENTILATING" My AI warns me.
I get up and set my coffee down on my work table. I was pulling an all-nighter making a new suit for Peter and it was currently 4 am. Good thing too because he needed me again.
"Hey, Pete?" I could hear muffled cries for help coming from the room but he appears to be asleep.
The kid was shaking on a whole new level compared to the last time I woke him from a nightmare.
"Peter it okay, you're gonna be fine" I know all the Avengers have their issues but God he's young. I have to figure this out before he's stuck with these nightmares for life.
Once I woke him up I put my arm around his shoulder and he let me.
"Pete, what happened? What was this dream about" it sure took more of a toll on him?
He looked in my eyes and whispered something almost inaudible. "H-homecoming" oh god.
"Can you tell me what happened to give you these bad of nightmares?"
He spoke but it was rapid-fire whispering and his words were mixed with tears.
"B-buildings. Vulture. Fall. No help" he exclaimed terrified.
"Oh Pete," I said clutching him in a hug. I'm not normally a touchy-feely type guy but I knew Peter needed me at the moment.
"H-hey Mr. Stark? I know it's late but is it okay if I go visit Aunt May?"
"Of course Pete"

*Parker's POV*

Once Mr. Stark left I shakily got up and slid on my feet till I got to my backpack. I looked at the bag then pulled out my suit putting it on. Then I fly out the window like a maniac then use my webs to catch myself on a building and flying across roofs until I got to the apartment.

I crept down the stairs from the roof and unlocked the door. "Hey, Aunt May?" I say looking around. The lights were on even though it was only almost 5 in the morning. "Ma- WHAT THE MOTHERFUCK YOU DICK" I scream tears pouring down my face as I see May's new boyfriend holding a bloody knife and may bleeding on the floor. He appears to be crying too. "P-peter wait it not what you think... look on the counter" I did as the asshole said and I saw a letter. I instantly felt bad for yelling at him.

Dear Pete, my beautiful nephew
I'm sorry, they threatened me. They said if I didn't do this they would come after you, I had to protect you. I know how you are so please don't blame yourself, my love. I know you've been through a lot with all your family gone, but I know that you have Mr. Stark right now. I'm sorry.
Lots of love, Your Aunt May.

"Peter I'm sorry you had to see this. I was gonna call the cops and call you after the body was removed" the man said.
"I'm leaving," I say.
Good thing I removed my suit on the roof. Once my suit was back on I left Queens and went back to Manhatten. The compound was all I had now.
