Peter threw up all over the ground. Not only from pain but also from how shocked he was that it was his supposed best friend that stabbed him in the back.

Peter panted as he was covered in blood sweat and tears. He looked up at Ned with the most broken eyes anyone could ever see, but instead of Ned's happy sparkling eyes, he was returned a cold, sharp, dark glare.

Peter whispered as his voice trembled.
"N-Ned... h-how could you?"

Ned chuckled darkly and sent shivers up Peter's spine.

"You're an idiot Peter. All this time I've been plotting against you. Ever since we were little it's been the same thing. You get all the attention and I'm shoved to the side. The day you told me you were Spiderman was the worst day of my life! I'm sick and tired of always being the ignored sidekick! I hate you Peter! I hate you more than you can imagine, and I can't wait for you to die, alone in this cave. Your family can't save you now Pete, it's over."

Peter's mouth hung open as he stuttered out a response.
"N-Ned... why didn't you t-tell me... we could have f-figured this out."
Tears fell from his eyes uncontrollably but he wasn't crying.

"It's too late for that Peter. Have fun in hell. It's where you belong after all the deaths you've caused." Ned hissed. Norman and him laughed and walked out of the cave, leaving Peter alone, bleeding, cold, scared and betrayed. He began to feel light headed and knew that if help didn't come soon, he would definitely die.

{•••}

All the avengers paced around the room as they desperately searched for Peter's suit. Karen had managed to notify him of Peter's danger but she was cut off before she could give a traceable location.

Suddenly, Tony's phone began to ring. He looked at the contact and saw that it was Peter's best friend. Ned or Ted or something.

"Ted! Do you have any word on Peter?" Tony asked. All the avengers listened in.

Ned's shaky voice came through the phone.
"H-he's g-gone..."

Tony's eyes widened.
"What do you mean gone?"

They heard a dark chuckle on the other line and got very confused.
"He's dead Stark! That little freak is finally dead!" Ned shouted.

Everyone froze. They put the pieces together and Natasha snatched the phone.
"Where is he." She said sternly even though they all knew she was broken.

"His corpse is rotting away where he belongs." Ned hissed. Natasha shouted.

"TELL ME WHERE HE IS!" She screamed. Ned laughed on the other line.

"It's too late! You all failed him! You should have heard him beg for mercy as I killed him. He kept assuring himself that someone would come for him, one of you. He died heartbroken when his heroes didn't come."

Tony snatched the phone back.
"You're a monster Ned. How could you?"

The line grew silent for a moment.
"I'm not the only one who wanted to kill him you know... I just got to him first."

"Where Ned. Where did you kill him?" Tony asked calmly, "you've won, he's dead, now tell us where he is so we can have a proper funeral. He deserves that at the least."

It was silent as Ned considered telling them.
"A cave. Right outside of Queens."

Then the line was dead.

The avengers crumbled in a mess of tears as the death of their youngest member began to sink in. Tony was the most broken, as this was his son that got taken away.

Steve stood up.
"Come on avengers... let's go get him..."

{•••}

Peter didn't know how long he had been in that cave for, but he was freezing. He shivered roughly which only reopened his wounds that were trying to clot.

He could feel himself beginning to slip away, but he knew he had to try and hold on... someone would come for him. They would find him. He knew it.

His eyes began to close, and his breathing grew shallow. He didn't want to die alone...

The pain was gone now. Everything was just numb and cold...

He wanted to let go now... go be with his parents, Uncle Ben, and Aunt May.

He was ready to go now. He did his best to help the world, now he gets his break...

{•••}

The team was desperately searching for him. They searched every cave around Queens but couldn't find him. They were starting to lose hope when Tony noticed something on the ground.

Footprints.

"Guys! I think I found it!" He said as he flew over to the spot. He pulled back some leaves and saw a cave with footprints inside. He ran in, and the team followed.

The turned a corner and found the most horrible sight. There Peter sat, covered in blood and dirt, bound to a chair and slouched down with his head on his chest.

Tony jumped out of the suit and ran to Peter. Steve followed and ripped the bonds off of his wrists and ankles. Tony laid him down on the ground and felt for a pulse...

Nothing...

"No! NO! NOO!" He screamed as he began to do CPR on the lifeless boy.

"This can't be HAPPENING!" Tony screamed as tears fell down his cheeks and he continued CPR.

Tony got the suit back on. Friday would know what to do.
"Boss he's only been deceased for a few minutes, it is possible to revive him." She said. Tony nodded and she continued.

"His heart needs a shock to be restarted. Your arc reactor can provide a large enough shock."

Tony got out of the suit and pulled some wires out of his suit. He attached them to his reactor and held them by Peter's heart.

"Tony wait!" Steve exclaimed. Tony looked up.
"That might kill you." He said.

Tony shook his head.
"I don't care, I need to bring Peter back, he doesn't deserve this."

He attached the wires to Peter and screamed as the energy flowed through him and into Peter. He hung his head low and panted. He looked up when he heard a weak cough.

"P-peter?" Tony asked.

"D-dad?" Was the weak reply. Tony jumped up and held his son upright from the ground. He had tears flowing down his face as Peter looked up at him tiredly.

"You scared us Pete." Steve said. Peter coughed and Bucky picked him up.

"We need to get him back to the compound. He won't make it if we don't." Nat said.

So they ran to the Quin Jet, Peter in Bucky's arms, Steve and Tony running beside, Natasha and Clint in the pilot seats ready to fly back.

After the flight Peter was rushed into surgery.

(Time skip to after surgery when Peter wakes up because I'm lazy and don't know what to write)

Peter groaned as he opened his eyes. He looked around and saw his family surrounding him. He smiled weakly when he felt his dad squeeze his hand.

"Hey dad..."

Tony smiled back at his son.

"Hey kiddo. You're gonna be alright. It's over now. It's over..."

~Epilogue~

It was hard for Peter to recover based on all of his injuries, but it was even harder for him to accept Ned's betrayal.

Ned and Norman were arrested the day after their attempted murder of Spiderman. Peter was heartbroken knowing his ex-friends life was ruined, but relieved that he wouldn't have to fear his life as much anymore.

Of course the only thing that kept him going was his family. They were always there for him, and they always would be...

THE END

So yea. That's the end of this book! I'm sorry if I rushed it too much but for those of you that know, I was away for awhile so keep reading if you want to.

So basically I got diagnosed with severe anxiety and it was really hard for me to open up to my mom about all of this but I feel so much better now that I did.

As for the guy who I talked about before, that's all dealt with and my safety is no longer at risk.

Thank you to all of you for reading this story and I hope you enjoyed it!

I'm thinking of starting another one shot book just because I really enjoy those so say tuned for a message about that! Bye!
