Spider-Man Oneshots (Irondad/Spiderson)

5 - heart rivalry (part three)

Peters POV:
Sorry if this is a bad one, I'm currently in a Boring Biology lesson.

Tony led me down to Bruce's lab, Bruce was currently typing on his computer. He looked up when we walked in.

"Hey Peter, Tony." He said cheerfully.

"Hey Bruce..." Tony said sadly.

The scientist eyebrows furrowed, "what's up guys, your looking somber?"

After a long explanation, Bruce was also tearing up slightly. He agreed to a heart scan.

I laid on a metal table as I was scanned. Bruce used a lot of different equipment. Towards the end, after an X-ray, Bruce was staring at me very sadly. Tears were streaming down his pale face.

"What's wrong with me Bruce?"

"P-Peter bud...the bullet seemed to be pushing itself out quicker than expected. I'd estimate a year at max until it's out...most likely a few months... I'm sorry."

Is stared at him numbly, I couldn't believe my ears. My heart began to beat rapidly, causing the heart monitor to become louder.

"Hey bambino you gotta calm down." Tony said soothingly.

I tried to calm down but I found it to be impossible. I began to hyperventilate, oxygen failed to find its way to my lungs.

Tony and Bruce noticed and they came over to me. Bruce rubbed my back soothingly and Tony took my jaw into his hands.

"Hey baby, your gonna be ok, alright? We are going to look after you. You'll be ok." Tony said his chocolate brown eyes wet with unshed tears.

I nodded and lent forwards into Tony's chest. My face just above the cool metal of his arc reactor. I gripped the back of his black shirt tightly in my hands.

"Th-thanks dad..." My eyes widened when I realised what I'd said.

"S-sorr-"

Tony cut me off quickly.

"No it's ok bubba."

I nodded against him and began to fall asleep, he must of noticed as he rocked both of us backwards and forwards.

Tony's PoV:

I noticed Peter was falling asleep against me so I rocked him backwards and forwards. He quickly fell asleep against me so I scooped him up. His legs automatically wrapped around my waist and his head rested on my shoulder. He was very light so I could lift him with ease.

I walked upstairs to the lounge room.

AN: okie done with school now, the rest will be hopefully better quality.

All the other avengers, including Loki were on the sofa watching Clint and Bucky compete against each other on the Wii.

They all turned towards the lift when I stepped out, Clint was just about to call out hello when he saw Peter. They all immediately quietened as I walked towards them.

Loki and Thor moved apart, so I could lay him down in between them on the sofa. I rested his head against Loki's thigh, who immediately ran his long thin fingers through the teens hair. Thor had the boys legs on his lap.

"What's wrong with man of spiders?" Thor said in an uncharacteristically soft voice.

I sighed, this was going to be a long night.

By the end of the explanation, everyone was looking at me in horror, except Loki who hadn't taken his eyes off the boys face. His hand that wasn't running through the curls, was no caressing Peters soft unblemished cheek.

"S-so what's going to happen now?" Steve asked hesitantly.

"H-he'll die guys...his heart is too weak." Bruce admitted, a choked sob left his mouth as he stared at the floor unmoving.

Everyone gasped around me, I blinked away the tears in my eyes and took deep breaths. It wouldn't do good to have a panic attack now. But I can't help it, my kid is going to be dead by the end of the year and deep down I know there isn't a thing I can do. I looked back over at the kid, the one I thought of as my own and had to swallow a sob down. He looked so in pain even asleep as if he carried the weight of the world on his shoulders, well chest in this case.

Third PoV:

After a few hours, everyone began to grow tired and was just about to get up when Peter stirred. He began to mumble incoherently.

"Hey spiderling, how are you feeling?" Loki questioned the sleepy boy softly.

Peters eyes slowly opened, squinting slightly at the bright ceiling light.

"Just dandy thank you Loki." He snorted.

Loki and the others chuckled as Peter turned over and snuggled into the god of mischief. Most of them half expected for the god to shove him away but to their surprise, he only held the teen tighter.

"We should take him to his room." Bucky spoke up.

Loki nodded and carefully scooped the boy up bridal style and walked down the hall to the Spider-Man themed bedroom. He pulled back the covers with one hand and laid the boy down. He then tucked the boy in and ran a hand through the brown locks once more and said goodnight. He then turned off the light and left the room.
