How do you move on with nothing left?

Help came

Tony's P.O.V

It's been four days since we blew the engine. That means we have three days to fix the filter but it's harder than we thought as the ship is from another planet and has extreme otherworldly technology powering it. Nebula and I have been working hard to try and fix it but the process is slow, Peter keeps to himself constantly staring out the window and I know that he wants me to believe he's okay, he's slept and he's feeling alright in general but I know he's not, he's weirdly thin and I know we haven't eaten for two weeks but I mean he is so unnaturally thin, he is growing I suppose, but still and he has the darkest circles around his eyes I have ever seen and it's clear he hasn't slept in two weeks. To be completely honest he looks awful. When I try to talk to him he just listens and when I try to get a response and I don't I ask if he's alright and every time he puts on a clearly fake happy tone but each time I ask it just gets weaker and weaker and quieter and quieter. He's exhausted and this might sound drastic but he sounds and looks like he's dying and he's accepted that. This breaks my heart to see someone so down.

"When was the last time you slept Peter?" I asked cautiously slowly kneeling down beside him. When I don't get an answer and all he does is look at me with his swollen red eyes showing nothing, they were empty and his blinking was so slow. I knew he needed food but first he had to sleep. He was so tired he was dying and that wasn't healthy in the slightest.
"Five days" he says finally but his voice is hoarse, quiet and nothing like what it really sounds like.
"Alright then" I say and I take my jacket off and set it up as a pillow then I gently hold his shoulders and put him into a laying position knowing he would be too weak to object, just thinking that; 'he's too weak' made me wanna slap myself in the face  and wake up from this sick dream. It absolutely broke my heart to see the kid so down.

Once he was on the ground and looked as comfortable as he was gonna get I noticed he was shaking so I took off my shirt and layer it over him like a blanket. He looked up at me with pleading eyes but I just put my hand on his forehead and began running my fingers through his curls. After not even a minute the young boy was fast asleep snoring slightly. He looked so peaceful when he was asleep. Peter didn't wake up for three days and in those three days we tried and failed to fix the filter.

When he woke up he looked ten times better but still was extremely skinny and was struggling to walk his legs were so thin. Peter thanked me for setting him up to sleep. "Your welcome,kid" I replied and that was when I felt my eyelids get heavy and I walked into the control room and fell asleep on the ground.

When I awoke it was to a blinding light outside the ship, to be honest I thought it was the sun. But my eyes adjusted and the glow died away to reveal a women; Captain Marvel. I must admit that after 22 days of being stranded in space it was like Jesus had just arrived.
"Peter!" I called doubt but got no response.
I got up and winced at the cramps in my entire body and walked to the other area of the ship and that was when my heart sunk. Peter was lying on the floor looking more pale than I had ever seen him and he didn't look like he had lasted down it looked like he passed out. "Nebula!!!" I yelled as loud as I could and she came sprinting into the room and she too gasped slightly when she saw me kneeling on the ground beside the unconscious teen. "Peter? C'mon buddy, wake up" as I said wake up his eyes heavily flutter open and I nearly burst into tears of both joy and worry as he had woken up when I thought I lost him but he looked so horrible and I could tell his eyes weren't focusing at all. "Peter? Can you here me, w-we're going home, we g-gonna get you some help" I stuttered and at that moment we landed and when I looked out the window I saw the avengers complex and felt my body melt with joy.

At the avengers compound:
Steve was shaving in the bathroom when he heard an engine and the compound began to shake. All the remaining avengers ran outside to see what was going on and were beyond relived to see that it was a ship being carried by Carol Danvers. After Tony had disappeared and the snap happened the avengers had thought he had been taken by the snap so no one knew who would come out of the ship. The ship slowly landed and the stairs slowly opened up and to everyone's joy Tony stumbled down the stairs holding onto the handrail dear life and limping slightly, he looked so thin and tired. The avengers hugged him and Pepper squealed in excitement as she kissed him like never before, then Tony turned around and everyone saw what he was looking at, an extremely sick looking teenage boy was being helped down the stairs, his eyes barely open. Once Nebula got to the bottom of the stairs with the boy Tony helped lay him down on the soft grass and Peter closed his eyes and all the avengers walked over to the now sleeping child and shot many questioning looks at Tony.
"Tony who is this?" Asked Pepper
"This is Peter Parker" he replied
All the avengers continued to look at Tony strangely.
"You remember 'Leipzig' don't you?" Tony paused and they all nodded "well this is the spider-kid"
They all seemed shocked that they had fought a kid that was so young and innocent.
"We fought a kid!!???" Commented Steve "I through and aeroplane terminal at him, Tony."
"Cap, do I look like I care right now? I haven't slept properly in 22 days and haven't eaten a single bite in that time, I'm also suffering from a stab wound and my kid is dying so can someone help me save him and stop looking at me like I'm a complete idiot???!!!!!" Tony yelled and all the avengers felt bad for not helping sooner, Steve carried him inside the building like a baby "he's really light Tony, and skinny."
"Yeah I know, he needs help and fast"Tony said
