Peter lay on the ground, bruised and bloody. He was unconscious. "no no no" wade spoke quietly, panic in his shaking voice.
He took out his phone and called the hospital.
The receptionist picked up the phone, instead of sending it to machine, because wade volunteered there when he could.
"hey, Ms.carla? I need help... yes its very serious... He's unconscious and bleeding, a lot... the back of the high school... thanks." Wade was on the verge of tears as he spoke.
He picked up peters phone to call the home and the people who were adopting him. After the call to Nathan he called the number under 'dad#1(tony)'

I was in the lab working when my phone rang. Usually I would ignore it, but when I saw it was Peter I ran to pick it up.
"hello? Peter?"
"hi."
That's not Peter. Oh no.
"who is this?"
"this is wade, peters boyfriend. He got pretty hurt"
"is he ok???" I was starting to get worried.
"I don't know the abulance just got here, they are putting him in the back now. I just wanted to let you know, seeing as you were 'dad#1' in his phone"
That sounds like Peter.
"what hospital his he going to?"
"queens medical facility"
"i'll be right there"
(at the hospital)
I run in and almost trip on the front desk. The receptionist just stares at me blankly.
"Peter parker" Stephen says, some how calm. "room 304" I sprint down the hallway before Stephen stops me.
"tony, I used to work in this hospital. Room 304 is in the trauma ward."

"tony, I used to work in this hospital. Room 304 is in the trauma ward."
As I say this tony's face falls pale, paler than I've ever seen. He looks like he's about to pass out. The cloak flies off of my back and holds him up.

"Stephen, show me where it is." We run to room 304, there a nurse standing there. She looks at me, not noticing I'm not scrubed up, or that I quit 2 years ago.
"the boy is stable, for now, several bruises on his stomach and back, and to be honest I'm surprised his skull isn't broken. He was admitted by his boyfriend."
She says, flipping through a clip board. "May I see?" With out thinking she just hands it to me.
As I read I feel my stomach sink, followed by a wave of relif, and more sinking.
"babe? What is it??" Tony says, unable to hide the shaking in his voice. "it looks like someone tried to kill him tony."
I stare at him, and his face sinks. "what the fuck?? Who??" As tony speaks with the nurse I flip through the clip board.
"how the hell is he even alive?" I wisper to myself. Just then the nurse light above the door turns on.
A nurse rushed in and not long after tony and I are sent to the waiting room, and introduced to a young boy, around peters age.
"I'm wade, I brought Peter in. I was waiting for him after school so we could get some food and hang out, but I saw fl-..." he stops and takes a breath before speaking again. "I saw someone run out from behind the school covered in blood, then I found Peter."
The boy seemed to be visibility shaken, but not traumatized, like he had seen worse. Poor kid.
"you said he had me saved in his phone as dad#1?" Tony blurts out before I can speak.
" y-yeah, I assumed that mr.-dr.strange was the contact 'magic man' but when I called it, it was someone else and there was a lot of Beyonce in the background." The boy said, confused.
Just then Peter walks out, smileing like nothing happened. It seems that way too, except for the iv in his arm and the gown. The boy stand up and hugs Peter. Peter hugs him back.

Two Sides
Heroes and monsters are the staples of fantasy. Swords and magic, fairies and dragons, adventures and death; all things went hand in hand in some worlds not our own.

Yet one night she found herself in a dream that became reality, and oh there they were; heroes and monsters, swords of steel, magic of tales, fairies and dragons of old, and adventures that held riches and death both. She had no fantastic magic, no supernatural strength. All she had was herself, her coin, and her life. But that was enough. As she stared into the distance, to the mountain-sized horrors of the night, she smiled and tossed her coin once again.
