Transporting the teenager was difficult at first, but with the help of Wanda's telekinesis, they eventually got him inside the tower.
"Bruce! We need to get him to the med-bay, NOW!" Tony shouted, running ahead of the rest of the team.
Once Peter was in a hospital bed, Bruce got to work, inserting a few into Peter's arm. He stopped working when he got to the oxygen mask. "Tony, I have to take his mask off. He needs help breathing, and I won't be able to give it to him with his mask on."
"Do it." All Tony could think about was saving Peter. "The kid saved my life, I'm not going to let him die."
Bruce slowly peeled back Peter's mask. He stared at the young face underneath.
The team stood in silent shock at seeing Peter's face. Natasha and Clint were confused, and Steve just stood there numbly. Rhodey slowly turned his head away from Peter and stared at Tony, rage in his eyes.
Sam finally spoke up. "He's only a kid?"
Bruce snapped out of his frozen state and slipped the oxygen mask over Peter's mouth, getting bandages to wrap the poor kids ribs in.
"TONY! WE NEED TO TALK! NOW!" Rhodey was livid with anger as he pulled Tony into the hallway. "How old is he?!"
Tony didn't respond. Rhodey tried again, shoving Tony against the wall. "HOW OLD IS HE?!"
"Fifteen."
"FIFTEEN! You let a teenager, a kid, fight in a war against Falcon, Scarlet Witch, Winter Soldier, GIANT Ant Man, and CAPTAIN AMERICA!" Rhodey yelled. "PETER IS A KID! He should be allowed to act like one!"
"HE IS! He goes to school, hangs out with his friends, he even went to homecoming!" Tony retorted angrily."I haven't made him do anything! The self sacrificing idiot did all of the crime fighting himself, I wasn't a part of it. I even told him to stop!"
"And yet you still called him here today, knowing he would come." Rhodey stepped back, his eyes full of disappointment. "You can't keep making excuses for yourself, Tony. Not when a fifteen year old kid is dying in a hospital bed." Rhodey turned away and reentered the med bay, leaving Tony in the hallway, tears in his eyes.
