"It's your fault, you should've stayed on the ground Spider-Man." Peter couldn't breathe, he felt crushed under the debris, getting a metallic taste in his mouth, he knew it was blood. The dust settled, and all he could see was fallen stone and concrete. He began to panic, yelling for help, but no one came to his aid. His eyes started drooping, he told his mind he had to stay awake, surely someone would come and rescue him.

But unfortunately he failed, his eyes flew open and Peter woke up, it was all a dream, the same recurring dream, that reels in his mind like a movie playing on a projector screen. Gasping for air, Peter turned his head towards his alarm clock, with the time reading three a.m. he sighed, trying to fall back asleep, but his brain wouldn't shut down. How could it? When all that would repeat was the dream.

Hours passed before Peter got up and out of bed, getting dressed and ready for the day ahead. May was most likely up by now, as he could hear the shower running, once he was done getting ready he went to the kitchen, making some coffee for May and making himself some breakfast. A few minutes later, May came out in her uniform, she greeted him with a smile and said good morning.

He handed her the warm cup of coffee, and began eating his breakfast. "You're up early, got a test today?" She asked. Peter shook his head while rubbing his eye. "No, I just woke up early from studying late, my whole sleep schedule is off. I blame Mr. Harrington, he gave me three sheets of homework yesterday." He replied.

"Aw, I'm sorry sweetheart, but hey I'm working a late shift tonight, and I don't want you to be all alone here, so I asked Tony if you could stay the night and he said you could. So after school, Happy is going to pick you up and take you to the compound."

"Okay, well, I gotta go to school. Have a good day May." As usual, Peter took the subway to school. Turning on his playlist, trying to shake off his nerves and hopefully get through the day without anything or anyone bothering him. Once he arrived at his high school and settled into his classroom he sighed, knowing today would be a long one. Which he hated, especially when he is ridden with anxiety, and doesn't know how to function properly as a result.

By lunchtime, all hope was lost, Peter's social studies class was informed to be having a surprise test the next day, (something Peter had no idea how to study for.) Flash was being a jerk, nothing was expected from that. And his levels of exhaustion was at an all time high. To the point where Ned had to make sure he didn't fall asleep in his mashed potatoes and gravy.

"Dude, are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, Peter are you okay?" MJ asked, usually MJ never acted so caring towards Peter, that's when you know something's wrong. Peter snapped out of his daze, and looked at his two really concerned friends. "S- Sorry, what'd you say Ned?" He questioned.

"I asked if you were okay, you were staring off into space, you almost fell asleep." He said.

"Yeah, m'fine just tired. I stayed up too late studying. But I'll go to sleep early tonight." Ned and MJ looked at each other, knowing Peter knew more than he was letting on. But decided not to question it. So once the day was over Peter said goodbye to his friends, and Happy picked him up. Peter knew he was about to crash, so he gave in and soon fell into a dreamless sleep.

Soon Happy arrived at the compound, waking the teen up and getting him inside the building. Once he met up with Tony in his lab Tony knew something was off, and it wouldn't be until one in the morning when he'd find out just what exactly was off. Of course Tony was asleep, but was woken up by Friday. "Sir, it appears that Peter is having a nightmare." She said.

Tony immediately jumped up and rushed to Peter's room, seeing the boy thrash around in his bed and talking in his slumber. Tony went over to him and shook him to try and wake him up. Once again just like the previous morning, Peter gasped and woke up. He was shaking and hyperventilating, Tony knew what this was, Peter was having a panic attack.

"Hey, kiddo, look at me." He said, trying to get Peter to calm down, Tony had experience with panic attacks, usually the roles were switched and Pepper or Rhodey was helping him calm down. He brought Peter close to his chest surrounding his arms around the boy. Whispering in his ear, and knowing Peter had enhanced hearing, he knew he'd be able to find the sound of his heartbeat.

Once his breaths slowed and he was calm Tony sighed, wondering how long the kid was having nightmares and panic attacks. It was definitely getting out of hand, since Peter had woken up from a nightmare that previous morning. He tried talking to Peter about it, but he was whispering different apologies, Though Tony stopped him.

"Peter, stop, you're okay, you're safe. Don't worry, I'm here. Do you want to talk about it?" He asked, hoping to finally get answers.

"D- Do you remember when you took my suit away?" Peter asked in a shaky voice.

"Yeah, I remember Bambi." Tony replied.

"Well, when you took it, I used my makeshift one, and c- confronted Vulture. But when I thought I got him, he tricked me, and t- the whole building collapsed on me. I was stuck, a- and it was hard to breathe but then I managed to get myself out and go after him again." Peter explained.

"He trapped you under the building?"

Peter reassured the adult, "Y- Yeah, but don't worry, it's not your fault." Meanwhile Tony felt guilty, Peter could have died all because of him.

"Well, I can promise you this, Toomes is locked up. He won't ever be able to hurt you or anyone else, and judging by the nightmare and panic attack, this has been going on for a while."

Peter looked up sheepishly at Tony, "A- A few weeks, it's been happening for a few weeks."

"Why didn't you say something? You could've told May or me for that matter. I know what it's like to deal with both of those." He tells Peter.

"I didn't think it would happen again, I thought it was a one time thing, of course my Parker luck had to prove me wrong."

"Kid, if you ever need to talk, you can come to me. I'll always be here to listen."

"O- Okay, thanks M- Mr. Stark."
