Part 5
Peter found himself drifting in the dark. He glanced up to see the steady glow radiating from Tony's chest, he hadn't woken up. Peter tied to think of anything than being stuck in here waiting for help while they were supposed to be to ones doing the rescuing. He loved college he truly did but it had taken him away from being Spiderman and he was itching to get back to New York full time. Tony had told him that his education had to come first there would always be bad guys waiting when he got back. He couldn't argue with that. Tony had all but retired the Iron man allowing others to step up and to be honest he had other things he had to deal with. Including the threat of another alien attack. Peter had watched along with everyone else when Iron Man chased after the ships at the Expo followed by the war machine, they hadn't been seen together in years.
But right now, he was trapped and hurt and Peter realised he hadn't learned as much as he thought running headlong into the bank with no planning attempting to be the hero. He should have called Tony but deep down he felt he still had something to prove. When he returned thrown into that horrendous battle, he just wanted to find Tony who had been so badly hurt by Thanos on Titian. Tony rarely let down his defences but Peter still recalled how he had spoken so proudly about Captain America in front of thousands on that battlefield with tears in his eyes, Peter was proud to be his friend. Tony was a husband and father to an amazing little girl but he didn't hesitate to include Peter and May despite having so little time to himself these days. He even bought him a car which made the envy of many on campus.
Peters head shot up as he heard a pained groan coming from Tony as his spider sense suddenly alerted him to something, something was coming. He braced himself for whatever danger might come their way though he could hardly fight in such a confined space. Familiar red and orange sparks flew in their direction Peter smiled as the wizard strange came to kneel beside Peter ' Hello Peter I am afraid the emergency services are struggling to get to you I offered my assistance' Peter smiled and shuttered ' thank you he's not to badly hurt be he hasn't woken up ' Strange nodded 'Peter get yourself though the portal it leads to the sanctum Wong will look after you I need to get Stark to his doctors' Peter nodded and with one last glance he crawled out through the portal. 'Ok Tony lets get you out of here' Strange murmured as another portal reappeared.

'Geez I am fine just a bit bashed up' Tony exclaimed sitting on the bed. He winced as the stitches stretched a little over his eyebrow. Tonty glanced down at his leg past the sweat pant that had been rolled up wrapped with the bandage developed by his old college Dr Cho. His doctor held up his hands as Pepper strode in. Now he was in trouble. As soon as he woke up, he checked on Peter who was currently with Strange, his identity intact. God, he owed the Doc again for saving them. Pepper just hugged him. Tony sighed and smiled as Pepper sat beside him.' So first you go after alien ships and now dive straight into a bank robbery? I love Tony and I know you can't just stop its been as I said my biggest failure' Tony took her hand 'I couldn't let the kid get hurt Pep I just couldn't I don't normally just well….' He threw up his hands. Pepper leaned on his shoulder 'So what was their plan do you know?' Pepper asked glancing down at his leg.' No but I will don't worry about that 'Tony slipped off the bed and tried his weight wincing as Pepper brought a crutch over which he took quietly along with the one beside the bed' Lets go home 'Pepper said walking slowly beside Tony as they stepped through the elevator.
