Peter was your average superhero, for the most part. He is so caught up in saving other people that he doesn't save himself; he believes that he shouldn't be saved. This is the five times Peter saved the Avengers, and the one time they saved him.

~1~

It was in the middle of a battle between the Avengers plus Spiderman and an army of killer robots led by a supervillain by the name of Nano. The robots were terrorizing New York City, Clint and Natasha were trying to keep the citizens safe and look for the controls for the robots. Steve, Thor, and Hulk were smashing the robots to pieces, while Tony flew about and kept them in a small 2 block radius and turned some of them to ash. Spiderman came to the scene and started helping Clint and Natasha, while destroying some robots. Out of the corner of Peter's eye he saw a robot sneaking up on Natasha, without thinking he jumped in front of the robot and took the blow meant for Natasha.

"NO!" Some of the Avengers yelled when they saw Peter take the hit for Natasha.

Peter went down, and the others quickly finished the fight and took their teammate and family member to the infirmary.

It was your average day at Stark Industries, and Peter was walking throughout the R&D floors, offering help to the employees and interns. Suddenly FRIDAY alerted Peter of an intruder, and that the Avengers were on their way. Peter slipped out of the lab and put on his Spiderman suit. Peter went to where FRIDAY said the intruder was. When he arrived, he saw that the intruder had Tony tied up and a gun to his head.

"Give me the blueprints to your suits! Or I won't hesitate on pulling this trigger." The intruder threatened.

"You want to know something Mr. Intruder. Threatening to kill the only guy that has access to what you want is kind of stupid, not to mention dumb." Peter quipped.

"Oh, is that right. Maybe I should kill you instead."

"Catch me if you can!" Peter smirked as he dodged every bullet that came out of the gun.

Peter quickly knocked the intruder unconscious and freed Tony as the rest of the Avengers came in.

"So, movie night tonight?" Peter offered.

With a collective yes from everyone, they went up to the penthouse and started a Star Wars marathon.

Peter was in the lab, testing a new weapon for Clint. An arrow that not only creates an explosion but also creates a shield around the blast so it only damages the intended target. Clint walks about to ask about how the arrow was coming when Peter felt his Spidey Sense went off. Peter jumped in front of Clint, knocking him to the ground and effectively shielding Clint's body with his own, as the arrow exploded burning or breaking everything in within 10 feet. Peter's back was slightly burned with some scraped from the shrapnel.

Everyone was training, even the Hulk, it was all going really well. Peter was learning some new techniques, as well as how to learn to fight as a team. The Hulk accidently hit a support column and a portion of the ceiling was coming down and Steve was right underneath. Without thinking Peter rushed over and pushed Steve out of the way, effectively trapping Peter under the rubble. The team quickly worked together to free Peter from the under the ceiling.

Everyone was in the elevator, coming back from a trip to Coney Island, when the elevator cables snapped. Peter jumped to the roof and held the elevator with his webs.

"Peter! Hang on. I have on the suits coming to hold us from the bottom." Tony reassured.

"Stop moving around so much. We are in between levels, if Cap can get out and open the doors, then he can help everyone else out." Peter explained.

"Clint give me a boost." Cap ordered.

Clint cupped his hands and Cap hoisted himself to the top of the elevator box. Cap climbed to the next floor's doors and opened them.

"The doors are open. Peter can hold the elevator a little longer?" Cap questioned

"Yes. Thor, can you help the others out, and up to Cap?" Peter asked.

"Of course, Man of Spiders."

Everyone but Tony and Thor were still in the elevator. Tony wouldn't leave Peter, but Peter needed Tony to get out before he could drop the elevator.

"Thor, grab Tony and throw him to Cap, then get out yourself." Peter ordered.

Thor did as he was told, despite Tony's resistance. Once Peter was sure that everyone was out and off the elevator box, Peter let go of the elevator. Peter's arms felt like jello, he barely had enough strength to hold onto his webs. Cap and Tony managed to get Peter to the floor before Peter let go of his webs.

It's been a week since May found out about him being Spiderman. It has been a week since he has been in the streets. It has been a week since he has last eaten. He was supposed to go to the tower today, but he didn't know if he could make it there. He was so weak. His metabolism was different than everyone else's because he needed more food and nutrients to sustain himself. It was getting harder and harder to go out as Spiderman and as Peter Parker. He heard his phone ring; it was Mr. Stark.

"Hey kid, when are you coming over today?" Mr. Stark inquired.

With that his world went black.

~TIME SKIP~

When Peter woke up, he was in the medical bay at the tower.

"How are you feeling kid?" Mr. Stark asked.

"Fine. What happened?" Peter replied.

"You passed out. When was the last time you ate anything?"

"A week." He whispered.

"A week? Why haven't you eaten anything?" Mr. Stark questioned.

"I haven't had access to any. May kicked me out a week ago." Peter answered.

"Why didn't you come to us? We would've helped you." Natasha walked into the room.

"How much of that did you hear?" Peter pondered.

"The whole thing." Steve said as he, Clint, and Bruce made themselves known.

Peter just broke down crying, letting himself feel everything that has happened. May kicking him out, the horrors of being a superhero, and the kid who just wants someone to hold him. Tony was the first one to give Peter a hug, then the others soon followed. The Avengers took Peter in after that, and Peter was glad that every now and again he can break down and have someone to catch him when he falls.

AN: I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving! I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Don't forget, I take requests. Until next time! ~Ariel
