Hey, we're coming to the end of the story now.

Ps, I'd just like to mention that I know nothing about medical stuff. And sorry if anything's incorrect. It is fantasy after all :)

Rory didn't even look up as the Dalek disappeared, as he continued to weep and cradle Spidey, rocking backwards and forwards slightly.

His forehead was now pressed against Spidey's, and Amy, who also now had tears in her eyes, was gently stroking Rory's arm comfortingly.

The room only possessed a cold, lonely, and empty feel to it now, as if the very life had been sucked out of it, as they sat in silence.

The Doctor stood there, screwdriver still loosely held in one hand by his side, staring at the space where the Dalek had been, a distant, lost look in his eye, before he finally, slowly, turned around to look at the scene behind him.

With a look of great sorrow, he flopped down heavily on the ground to sit on the other side of Spidey.

Amy looked at him briefly, expressing her sadness, before turning back to Rory again. The Doctor looked over Spidey's form with sad guilt, before sensitively reaching a hand out and cupping the side of his face.

"I'm sorry," he said softly to him, breathing in deeply, before pulling his hand away.

The group just sat there in silence for what could have been mere minutes, or hours, softly mourning over Spidey. The Doctor kept his head down, while Rory continued to cry, holding him close to his chest. Amy sat at Rory's side, gently rubbing his back in small circles while gazing silently at Spidey, gentle tears falling from her eyes and trickling over her nose every now and then. And for all this time, not a sound, or a movement, bothered them.

"You know, he may just have saved the entire universe. If that Dalek had got out with that stuff..." the Doctor said, cutting off to give them the picture.

Rory just cried harder, "but, but, we just killed Spider-Man. Oh God, we just got Spider-Man killed!" Rory said in distress, the situation sinking in.

The Doctor just looked down sorrowfully, before looking back up again, "I know, I know Rory, but he sacrificed himself. He sacrificed himself to allow us to stop it. He saved us Rory, along with countless other lives," he said, trying to make Rory feel at all better, if he could.

"It still doesn't make it right though," Rory said.

"No, no it doesn't, but there's nothing we can do about it now. These things happen, even as much as it pains me to say it," he gently reached forward and placed a hand on Rory's arm. "But he did the right thing Rory; he was a hero, and a very good one at that. And you know, you were right, with what you said before, he was a lot like me," the Doctor said, with a small smile.

Rory smiled slightly with a small huff. "Yeah, he was," he said, stroking Spidey's masked face with a finger.

The Doctor smiled slightly, giving him a pat, before standing up with a groan and walking over to the teleport. "Well, I guess we'd better take this with us, can't exactly leave it here," he said, while beginning to fiddle with it again.

Rory just looked out over towards the door with a sigh, before, all of a sudden, he was startled out of his thoughts by a sudden moan sounding from close to his ear.

Rory's eyes widened and his face slackened in shock, before he whipped his head down to look at Spider-Man, who was miraculously moving slightly in his arms.

Spidey moaned again, moving his head to the side a bit, and Rory started breathing in ragged gasps.

"DOCTOR!" he yelled at the top of his lungs, jolting the Doctor out of whatever he was doing, as he continued to stare at Spidey's awakening form in shock. He was sure there had been no pulse before, but in his distress, Rory had failed to detect the slow pulse still beating in him, along with his shallow breaths.

The Doctor crashed to the floor next to Spider-Man, taking in the scene in amazement, before quickly scanning him with his sonic and placing a hand next to Rory's on Spidey's neck, checking for a pulse. "No, there's no way, there's no... Rory, he's alive!" the Doctor stated, at a loss for words.

Amy sat watching the scene before her in open-mouthed astonishment. "You failed to notice he had a pulse all this time?!" she yelled, as the Doctor and Rory proceeded to try and get Spidey's attention.

"Hey Spidey, Spidey can you hear me?" Rory asked, tightening his hold on the wall crawler and leaning further over him.

Spidey groaned again and lifted a hand up towards his face. "Ow, tazer webs, not one of my best ideas, yeow," Spidey said, causing Rory and the Doctor to look at each other.

"Spidey, what happened? Can you look at me?" Rory asked, continuing to monitor his pulse.

"Huh?" Spidey asked, moving his head so that his huge bug eyes were looking directly at him. "Oh that. I just figured that maybe if I blocked the gun it would blow up. So I decided to use webbing to block the shaft while it was firing so much, and just thought that if I used my tazer webs, it would have a greater chance of being effective, and may cause the Dalek more damage. So, I gave it a shot. Only, it meant I got caught in the explosion. Did it work? Where is the Dalek anyway?" Spidey asked, while trying to sit up a bit, looking around.

"You tazered yourself..., in order to stop the Dalek," Rory summarised, more confirming it to himself than anyone else.

"Yup, pretty much. And ow it hurt, never doing that again," Spidey babbled, while rubbing his head.

"We thought you were dead!" Amy suddenly blurted out for them, staring at Spidey in distress.

Spidey seemed to stop at this, before looking over at Amy, taking in her wet and red eyed appearance for the first time, before looking back at Rory, and seeing the obvious evidence of tears and mourning on his face. And then, and only then, did he finally notice the position he was lying in, still being held in Rory's arms, with a hand placed on his neck. Spidey gulped, realisation dawning on him.

His mouth opened and closed for a minute, unsure of what to say, before blurting out, "I'm sorry!"

They all just seemed to consider this for a minute, the Doctor silently watching him. He felt surrounded by them in this small circle on the floor, and all of a sudden, had a wave of terrible guilt wash over him. "You thought I was shot by the Dalek," he realised, deflating a little.

Rory just silently nodded, while Amy looked away. The Doctor remained eerily silent.

"Hey, I'm sorry. I'm really, really sorry. I didn't mean to scare you. I thought... I didn't think you would think I was dead, I didn't realise, I'm so sorry. Look, I'm fine," he desperately apologised, while moving to try and stand up.

"No, no don't get up. Don't get up just yet," Rory said, while trying to keep him down.

"I'm fine; really, it was just a little electricity," Spidey said, continuing to try and sit up.

"No stay down! Please! Just stay down for a bit while you recover, I'm a nurse," Rory told him, reassuringly. "Please," he begged. "I want to make sure you're alright first," he explained.

"Ok," Spidey complied, after looking at him for a minute, and allowed himself to lay back.

"Right, are you dizzy, any headache at all?" Rory asked.

"Only a little," Spidey answered.

"Doctor, can I have your stethoscope please?" Rory asked.

"Ah, yes sure," the Doctor answered, quickly fumbling to alert, searching for it. He finally pulled it out and handed it to Rory, who took it in his now free hand, while the other supported Spidey's back, and quickly put it in his ears, rubbing the metal in his hand to warm it for a second.

"Ok," he said, before placing it on Spidey's chest. He listened for a second, before seeming to be satisfied. "Right," he said, before moving it lower over Spidey's lungs. "Breath in for me," he said, and Spidey quickly complied, taking a deep breath before letting it out, and repeating it again for the other side.

"Ok, breathing's good and your heart rate's fine," he announced, before moving his hand up in front of Spidey's face. "How many fingers am I holding up?" he asked.

"Ah, two," Spidey answered.

"Good," Rory said, before shaking his head and removing the stethoscope from his ears. "I have no idea how you can heal so fast," he said.

Spidey chuckled "So, are you satisfied that I'm still alive and not a corpse yet, nurse?" Spidey joked.

"Yeah, satisfied," Rory said, letting him up.

"Oooooo," Spidey said, while throwing his neck back, arching his back, and stretching his arms. A few audible pops sounded, before he shook his head, stood up straight, and slipped the band with the ear piece on it off his head, handing it back to the Doctor.

"So," he said, after a moment of thought, "what did happen to the Dalek?" he asked, looking back at them.

"Ah well, you kind of blew its gun up. And then I sent it back where it came from, using the teleport, in anger over your death," the Doctor admitted.

Spidey laughed. "Ha, I would've loved to see that, that would have been something. Nice to know I'm loved," he teased, with a hidden smile.

Everyone just went silent and looked away at this.

"Eoh, well, anyway," Spidey said, before falling into awkward silence himself.

"Well, I guess we'd better take this thing to the TARDIS with us and disappear, before the rest of the cops discover your present, or the webbing dissolves and they all start snooping," the Doctor said, causing everyone to giggle slightly at the thought of those poor cops hanging from the ceiling. He went over to unplug the teleport.

A few minutes later he was done, teleport securely held in his arms. "Well, come along then, might as well go for one last adventure through these halls," he said, as he began to lead them back to the TARDIS.
