My way or the highway

Tony

Doom walked around us and sat down on his throne. In front of me was Peter on his knees like me. Both of us were facing each other, some sort of mercy before we die. I had brought along Peter on a mission to spy and gather intel on the Latverian dictator Victor von Doom. We were never supposed to even step into the country. But things never go according to plans. My armor was barely functional. The only thing working was the movement systems. Not that it mattered right now. One wrong move and Doom will kill us both instantly. We're only alive because he has to give a dramatic speech. Peter was keeping on a strong face, not crying, not shaking, just staring at the floor. If only I'd gone by myself. Then Peter would be safe and sound back in Queens trying to hack to training wheels protocols in his suit (had to put in several since Peter kept hacking the suit.) But now he was here with me, at the mercy of Doom.

"Doom has lived many years....seen many spies and traitors. All have been sentenced to death. As shall you" Doom said dramatically and raised his hand.

Peter and I looked at each other, both of us waiting for Doom to end us. But then the door slammed open by one of his Doom bots.

"WHAT!!?" Doom yelled in anger.

"My apologies my lord. B-but the northwest shield has gone down and a group of Doom bots have gone missing in the same area" the bot said in Doom's voice.

"Your punishment has been postponed, but death will come for you" Doom said before left the room.

I took that chance to try and get loose from the restraints on my wrists but it didn't work. I sighed deeply and looked around.

"Not exactly the way I thought I'd die. But it works I guess" I said trying to make a joke to make Peter feel a false sense of calm.

Peter smiled and let out a small chuckle.

"Funny....it's a lot like I thought I was going to die" Peter said.

"Hm....what do you mean?" I asked confused while trying to look for anything in the room that could either help us or Peter.

"I mean I fight some pretty powerful people. I kinda always knew that one of them would be the end of me" Peter said calmly.

I looked at him in shock. H-he can't be serious? I know that the kid has been willing to sacrifice himself for others. Kinda hard to miss but....

"Wait....but you've been talking so much about college and what you wanna do afterward" I said confused.

"Yeah....I mean it would've been fun to go to M.I.T and maybe get an actual job at S.I. But....I mean I live a pretty dangerous life. So if I die, I die. I can't really do anything about it" Peter said.

"Do you....do you want to grow old?" I asked fearing his answer.

Peter just sighed deeply.

"I....I don't know. Honestly I don't think that's an option for me. Not in this life" Peter said.

"You never told me any of this" I stated.

"Yeah cause I knew you'd freak out about it and tell me it's not true and all that....and no offense but it's all just bullshit" Peter said looking away.

"DAMN RIGHT IT IS!!!!" I snapped.

Peter looked at me a little surprised. I sighed deeply trying to calm my anger. It was hard. Peter....he deserved so much more than this. He didn't deserve to die at the hands of some narcissistic merciless dictator.

"Peter is there nothing you'd like to do right now? Before Doom comes back. Anything? Even if it's not possible"

"....I guess....I'd like to hug May" Peter said.

"Great. Keep that thought. Time to get out of here" I said scanning of the room again.

Peter just sighed. The doors then slammed open and Doom returned to the room. Somehow he looked....different. The doors closed behind him and he walked up to the throne without a word before he sat down. He stared at us and something in his eyes seemed, luster. I just glared at him. Doom them turned to Peter and stood up again before he took a step towards him.

"Fancy seeing you here baby boy" Wade's voice spoke.

My eyes widened as the asshole Deadpool took of the Doom helmet, revealing a fully scared face. Peter looked at him and laughed a little.

"Dumbass" he mumbled.

"Ah ah ah! Red, blue and white sparkles wouldn't like that!" Deadpool said.

"This is the one and only time I'm actually glad to see you Deadpool" I said.

"Aaaaawww!!!! That's the nicest thing you ever said to me tin can!" Deadpool said with his excited voice.

"Already regretting it" I sighed.

A little bit short but it works.

I was debating if they'd die or if Wade would save them. Tough choice.

Anyways....I'm in the car

On a 4 hour drive to IKEA to get a new desk. More specifically a corner desk.
