《what a strange name》ch.29
Advertisement
It's been a week since we lost aria. No one has seen natasha at all. Peter has only gotten out of bed for food and the bathroom. Same with loki, for some reason.
Today me, Stephen, and Peter have to go to a press conference. I wish we didn't have to take Peter, but if we don't, the media will be a shit storm.
When I walk on stage, the room is silent. When Peter walks on stage, they start flashing cameras and bombarding him with questions.
"why haven't we seen you in so long?" "who were you trying to catch?" "do you know why shark didn't catch you?" "why did you care so much about this girl?"
"who was she?"
That was the one that made him snap. He takes the mic from the reporter who asked that. Uh oh.
"who was she? She was my best friend! She was someone's daughter! She was days away from being adopted. She was a hero, she was venom. She was probably the only person I've ever met who is truly selfless! She was like a sister to me! I'VE LOST ALMOST ALL OF THE FAMILY I'VE EVER HAD, BUT SHE WAS DIFFERENT! I COULD HAVE SAVED HER BUT I DIDN'T! SHE WAS A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!"
He screams into the microphone. He shoves it back to the reporter and runs off stage, sobbing. I look at Stephen. "you go help him tony." He says, stepping up to the mic.
I run off stage after Peter. I find him in the hall way, sobbing and shaking. I knell down in front of him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Peter, its ok." I say. "NO ITS NOT! SHE COULD HAVE BEEN AN AMAZING HERO! But because of me, she can't be..." he says, his face red with fear and sadness.
"Peter. It's not your fault. Thing will get better." I say. "but what if they don't?" He says, looking up at me. I see the sadness and guilt in his eyes. The genuine fear that things will never change.
"Peter. They will, I promise. It might take some time, but things will change." I say. "I'm sorry." He says, melting into my arms.
"shhh... Everything will be okay." I say, making circles on his back. He sobs into my shoulder. I hear cameras clicking but I ignore it. Right now I have to foucus on helping Peter.
"mr.stark..." "peter stark..." "who was..." "what was..." "are you aware..." "where is..." "tony?!" I hear Stephen shout. The cameras stop as he pushes the crowd away.

"Peter? What wrong?" He asks. Peter just sobs and shakes. "lets get you home." I say, trying to help him up. He's shaking so hard that he can't stand.
I pick him up and just carry him. I know that there will be even more cameras out side but the only thing that matters right now is my son. He needs to get home.
When Stephen opens the door, the guards are struggling to hold back the press. "why are you carrying him?" "what happened in the hallway?" "when will spiderman return?" "what wrong with his suit?"
I ignore them and just put Peter in the car. Happy opens the small window between us and hands me a box a tissues. He looks at Peter sadly and closes the window.
When we get to the tower, Peter has calmed down enough to walk, but he bearly makes it to the elevator.
As soon as we walk into the elevator he collapses. I catch him right before he hits the floor. He almost looks dead.
We skip going to the pent house and go to the med bay. I carry payer in and put him down on a table. "Friday, scan Peter." I say.
"he appears to be suffering from a severe panic attack. He also seems to have a lack of sleep. I recommend you let him rest sir." She says.
"it would give his wounds time to heal properly." She says. "what wounds?" I look at Stephen. We both look at Peter and notice something we hadn't before.
His arms are cut, in neat little lines up and down his forearm. He bleed through his suit. Stephen goes to bandage them and passes out as he pulls up peters sleeve. I know I would have done the same if even he passed out.
"friday! Call in Bruce! Or bucky! Someone!" I say, makeing sure Stephen isn't hurt. He's ok, so I take him upstairs after he wakes up.
Bucky went down to help Peter. I took Steven up to our room and put him into the bed. I went into the living room and sat down on the couch to think about everything that's been happening.
Ever since Stephen and I got married, its almost like there has been a curse on our family. We got married as soon as we were able too, after being together for 7 years.
A month later we adopted Peter, then he started cutting, his boyfriend tried to kill himself, then all this stuff happens with hydra, and then he loses some one who's like a sister to him, and one of his best friends. Am I cursed?

Pov. wade
I'm sitting on my couch, and matt is makeing food in the kitchen. I'm watching the press conference about aria. It's hard to watch but I need to know if anything happens.
"who was she?" One of the reported asks. I start to get mad and then I see Peter walk up to the camera man and take the mic from the reporter.
"who was she? She was my best friend! She was someone's daughter! She was days away from being adopted. She was a hero, she was venom. She was probably the only person I've ever met who is truly selfless! She was like a sister to me! I'VE LOST ALMOST ALL OF THE FAMILY I'VE EVER HAD, BUT SHE WAS DIFFERENT! I COULD HAVE SAVED HER BUT I DIDN'T! SHE WAS A BETTER PERSON THAN YOU WILL EVER BE!"
I sit there, in shock. I turn aroud to tell matt, but he's just standing there, holding the pan above the burner.
"isn't that your boyfriend?" He asks. "yeah... could I get a ride to stark tower. Like now?" I ask, standing up. "yeah lets go" he says, grabbing his keys off of the hook by the door as we run out.
We get in the car and drive as fast as we can without getting pulled over. When we make it to stark tower there is a crowd of press out side as the car pulls up. People try to push past the guards.
I walk up to one of the guards. I know him, it's Felix, he's there almost every time I am. He looks down at me.
"I have to get to Peter! I need to help him!" I say, frantic. He looks at me sadly and sighs. "fine, go!" He says, letting me through as reporters scream.
The elevator doors close as I walk into the building. I run to the elevator but all I can do is wait. After a long time of waiting, the elevator doors open and I get in.
By the time I get upstairs I don't see Peter anywhere. I just see mr.stark sitting on the couch, holding his head in his hands.
"mr.stark?" I say, walking slowly towards him. He jumps, like he didn't know I was there. "wade? How did you get in here?" He asks. "Friday let me up. Where's Peter?" I ask.
"the med bay. I wouldn't go down there if I were you. Stephen passed out, and he used to be a surgeon." He says. I can feels my heart drop into my shoes, and feel the tears sting at my eyes.
I run back to the elevator. "kid wait! Don't go down there!" Mr.stark yells. I keep running. I don't even see cap standing there. I run straight into him.
"What's the rush kiddo?" He asks. "I have to see Peter!" I say, trying to push past him. "nope! Peters not in the best shape right now." He says, holding me by the shoulder as I try to push past him again.
"let me go!" I yell, pushing past him and running to the elevator. He stops me again. "he bled through the suit!" He yells. "you can't handle seeing the scars!"
"who do you think bandaged his wounds before you were there? Who do you think helped him know that everything was okay even when he thought the world was crumbling around him? Who saw his scars and saw past them? I did! I can handle it! I don't like to but its not the first time!" I shout, without even thinking.
I step into the elevator and go to the med bay. The only thing that I care about right now is Peter. The elevator rings and I step into the med bay, and mr.barnes is putting bandages on peters arms.
I walk over to Peter. "kid you shouldn't be down here." He says. "its not the first time I've helped bandage him arms. I'll be ok." I say.
Peter shifts and starts to wake up. "its ok Peter. I'm here. Wades here for you." I say. "Don't go" he says softly, still half asleep. "I won't. I'm right here." I say.
A/n this chapter was mostly about the press conference and Peter snapping. Then it was too short so I added wades perspective. I'm sorry about killing aria, but it had to happen, I mean it didn't but I had no other ideas for her or mj. And I wanted to add another punch in the heart. I'm sorry 😢

The Apocalypse Show - Dungeon Core
There were lot's of ways that people had predicted that the world would end. A few even had it partially correct. But how could they have predicted it would be a combination of the system apocalypse and aliens. Specifially aliens that wanted to create the equivlant of a TV show about the system apocalypse on Earth. Arthur woke up with a headache and the option to create a character. Most people would have gone with the safe choice and selected to stay a human. Arthur suspected that wouldn't be the safe choice in his new world. Instead he decided to see what other races were available. Eventually he decided to become a dungeon core instead. Of course being a dungeon core comes with a number of challenges. Starting with the fact that he was a giant crystal instead of having a body, managing a bunch of unintelligent minons, and most importantly the reaction of his human neighbors when they discover him. If he can overcome these challenges he may be able to enjoy some of the benefits. Such as the fact that dungeon cores are immortal and he would eventually have an entire army of dungeon minions that would obey any of his commands. Perhaps even find some female companions that are looking for a safe place during the apocalypse. Warning: If this fiction was a movie I'd rate it R for occasional scenes of violence, gore, nudity, and sexual content. This isn't something you would find in the young adult section. This does not mean that this would be rated NC-17 or X, if that is what you are looking for try lewd dungeon.
