Spiderson Irondad One Shots

Sensory Overload

Peter

I woke up with a headache. Everything seemed so bright and loud. I could hear the whirring of the vents and the lights blinded my eyes. My head was throbbing in pain. Even my soft cotton shirt felt as rough as sand. I groggily stood up and walked to the kitchen.

"FRIDAY dim the lights," I groaned.

The lights became more bearable to see. I got some Cocoa Pebbles and poured them into my bowl. I could hear each and everyone of them hitting the bottom of the bowl. I poured some milk and started eating. The moment it touched my tongue I cringed at how sweet it tasted. I ate a few spoonfuls before dumping the rest.

I put on my softest shirt and some sweatpants. Eh. I'll be fine at school. I didn't want to worry dad like last time. I grabbed my backpack and went to school.

Ugh. My head hurts so bad. Everything seems so loud. I can hear people's conversations and lights are blinding my eyes. And the bell. Ugh, that bell is 10 times louder. I can't stand it anymore. Everything hurt so much. I just want to sit down and cry. Finally, it's lunchtime. Everyone can be away from me. Ned is sick and MJ is on a trip somewhere so they're not here today.  Everyone shuffled to the cafeteria except me.

Once everyone was gone I collapsed on the ground and cried. Everything was just too much. I should have told dad. I just want to go home.  Suddenly a figure approached me. I couldn't see who they were through my teary eyes.

"Peter oh my God what happened!" yelled a voice I know too well but I was in too much pain to care. 

I winced at the loudness of his voice. He seemed to understand what was going on so he lowered the volume of his voice. "Sorry," he whispered. It was nice hearing something that wasn't so loud in my ears. I looked up and couldn't believe who it was.

It was Flash.

Flash

Before you say 'Why the hell was I of all people helping Peter Parker' let me explain. Common sense finally hit me and I realized that what I was doing was wrong.

I kept on trying to apologize to him today but for some reason, he was distancing himself from others. Why is apologizing so hard!

Finally, it's lunch. There is no way I wouldn't be able to apologize to him. I searched the cafeteria. He wasn't anywhere. I started to worry. This was not like Parker at all. Maybe it's because his friends aren't here. I slipped out of the cafeteria and began searching for him.

I found him on the floor crying. "Peter oh my God what happened!" I yelled with worry. He winced at the loudness of my voice. I lowered my voice and whispered "Sorry." He looked up at me with surprise. I guess it is hard to believe that the guy that bullied you for years is suddenly helping you.

"What happened Peter?" I asked quietly. "Everything hurts. The lights are so bright, everything is so loud, and everything touching me hurts!" He sobbed.

"Is there anyone I can call for help?" I whispered. "C-call the emergency contact called d-dad," he stuttered.

I picked up his phone and called the person. "Hey kid, what's up?" the voice asked. It seemed familiar but I couldn't remember. "Err hello sir. Peter told me to call you," I told the guy. "Is he okay?! Is he hurt?" he asked with worry. "He's saying that everything is too loud, too bright and that everything hurts," I replied. "Okay I'll be right there" Peter fell asleep from exhaustion.

Within 10 minutes the Tony Stark came running towards Peter. No wonder the voice on the phone was so familiar. "Kid what's your name?" he asked me. "Eugene Thompson but most people call me Flash," I responded. "Flash, I already contacted the office that Peter's going home so no need to worry 'bout that," he told me. He then carried Peter bridal style outside the school. God, I hope he's alright.

Peter

I woke up very confused. I was in med bay. My memories surged back in. Why would Flash of all help me? A thousand questions flooded my head. My thoughts were interrupted by a text notification from my phone. I picked up my phone from the small table beside me. It was a text from...Flash?

Flash
Umm hey Peter. Look I'm sorry for what I did. I was being a huge jerk. I shouldn't have done that to you. You did nothing to me so I had no right to bully you. I hope you can forgive me.

Peter
What you did is inexcusable but I'm willing to give you a second chance

Flash
Wait you're going to forgive me just like that?

Peter
Of course, I am! Everyone deserves a second chance!

Flash
Thanks for forgiving me Peter

I guess Flash isn't a complete jerk after all. Dad then walked into the room. "Hey kid you should have told me you were having another sensory overload," he said. "I know but I didn't want to bother you about it." I sighed. "Kid, I care for you. I want you to tell me these things." "Yes, Dad." He grinned. "Now who wants to watch Star Wars!"

The next day I went to school feeling much better. Ned and MJ are also back. He walked into Midtown talking to Flash. When he saw Ned and MJ they looked really confused. MJ gave me the you-better-explain-right-now look. "Pete care to explain," MJ said. "Well, it's a long story."
