"Peter it's too dangerous you have to hide." Tony said over the com channel between him and Peter.

"No! Mr.Stark I can help!" Peter replied.

"Kid I'm serious you need to hide now." Tony insisted.

"But-"

"No go hide somewhere safe now." Tony said cutting him off.

Peter huffed under his mask and did as he was commanded. He stared web-slinging over to the Wakanda forest. He landed himself in an area of shrubs and bushes and sat on the ground cross-legged. The area seemed to sheltered from the fight.

Peter punched the dirt in frustration. He wanted to help and show that he was able to fight like everyone else. They all saw him as a kid but he was so much more, he was bite by a radioactive spider for god sakes.

He took off his mask to breath a little better. He heard everything that was going on in the battle: Tony's suit's rocket jets, Cap's shield hitting and blocking things, Bruce run around in Tony's extra suit. He heard it all but still wanted to help fight.

There was the sudden sound of big steps being taken behind him. He peeked over the bush to see Thanos only 10 feet away from his hiding spot facing the battle.

This was his chance.

He pulled his mask over his head and aimed his webshooter at his gauntlet. He aimed for the Time sStone and shot his webbing at it. With a sudden rush of adrenaline he pulled on his web hard. The Time Stone was immediately dislodged from the gauntlet and shot directly towards Peter. He caught it in one hand.

Thanos immediately turned around and stared Peter down.

"Foolish-" He began but Peter webbed him in the face before he could finish.

Peter ran for his life past him and through the battle, the Time Stone tightly grasped in his hand. He didn't hear anything he just kept running.

"Hey Tony isn't that your kid." Steve yelled to Tony after Peter ran past him with Thanos close on his tail.

"Oh god Peter." Tony muttered going after Peter.

Peter tripped over a rock on the ground and ended up falling and rolling to a stop. He felt Thanos grab him by his suit and picked him up.

"Put him down Thanos!" Tony yelled. "You alright kid." He added.

"I'm okay Mr.Stark." Peter answered.

Thanos heard Peter's voice and looked at him and then without touching (by using the infinity stones) him removed his the mask. He dropped it onto the dirt and looked at Peter's frightened face.

"You're just a child." He concluded after see Peter's face. He smiled to himself which worried Tony greatly.

"Let him go you oversized grape!" Tony yelled.

"Why is so important Stark. He's just a child in a mask that interfered with my plans." He tightened his grip on Peter slightly casing him to whimper slightly.

"You hurt him I'll-" Tony began to yell but was quickly cut off.

"You'll do what Stark? Kill me. A few minutes ago you were barely able to get even a drop of blood to come from me." Thanos laughed.

"Need help." Natasha said coming up behind Tony with a smirk as Cap, Bucky, Bruce and Thor followed behind her.

"I can handle this on my own." Tony said.

"Well we're going to help anyway." Cap replied seriously.

"You call yourself a hero Stark but you're struggling to save single child. You seem so attached to this one though. I think I'll keep him." Thanos smirked. Peter started struggling in his grip quicker than before.

"You wouldn't dare!" Tony yelled in rage.

"Oh I think I would Stark." The purple giant threatened.

"Thats it!" Tony sped right at Thanos before being punched back by the huge alien.

"Say good bye to Stark little one." Thanos told Peter.

"Mr. Stark help!" Peter yelled as Thanos beamed to his ship with Peter in his grip. The last thing Tony saw was Peter's frightened eyes.

Tony looked at the spot Peter disappeared from to see the Time Stone sitting there. 'Peter must have dropped it.' He thought. He picked it up and was suddenly confronted by Dr.Strange.

"Here take it." Tony said rushed pushing past him after handing the small rock to it. The doctor made no point to stick around and quickly disappeared.

He stumbled over to Peter's mask and picked it up. He felt guilt wash over him like a wave. He held the mask close to his chest. He looked up and activated his boosters.

"Tony where are you going." Bruce asked as they chased after him.

"Where else, to get my kid back!" He said rushed.

"You're not seriously going to do that alone." Natasha asked.

"I will if I have to." Tony argued.

"Then were coming with you." Cap said. "I know we didn't end on good terms last time, but I'm willing to do this because there's a kid who has just been kidnapped by an alien overlord."

"You're gonna help me?" Tony asked suspiciously.

"Only for the kid." He replied. He extended his hand out to Tony as a truce.

Tony looked at him in the eye for a moment and then shook his hand.

"So how are we to get to the spider boy." Thor asked.

"I have a ship we borrowed from Fury that will survive in space. We used it to get here, it should be fast enough to catch up to Thanos." Natasha sighed.

"You just casually borrow ships from Fury?" Bruce questioned.

"Look do you wanna save the kid or not." She argued.

"I'm coming too Steve." Bucky said seriously.

"Are you sure Bucky." Cap asked.

"Yes I'm sure." He told his old friend.

"Let's go come on!" Tony said loudly.

————————————————————

"Let me go! Let me out!" Peter screamed at the top of his lungs. Thanos had locked him in a small room with a bed. The door was sealed shut and there were no means of escape in the room.

Thanos had also dropped his mask back on earth and broke his webshooters. He was completely and utterly defenceless. He was trap in an alien spaceship weaponless.

"Let me go." He whispered his voice tired of yelling. He leaned against the wall and sank to the floor and tilting his head back. He'd felt the ship taking off and pass the Earth's atmosphere. He was scared to say the least.

'Tony is coming. He's not going to leave me here. Right?' He thought.

His senses immediately went off and he jumped to his feet. The door opened and Thanos walked in. Peter pressed himself against the wall.

"So you're the one Stark is so interested in." He said. Peter was shaking inside but kept a blank expression.

"What nothing to say." Thanos smirked at Peter's silence.

"Let me go." Peter forced out.

"You're just as persistent as Stark I can tell especially when you're scared." He sighed.

Peter started physical shaking now his fear boiled to the surface. Thanos had seen right through his facade he'd put up.

"You know I've been wanting to adopt another child and you might be the one I'm looking for." The alien smiled at Peter.

"No way! I have a loving aunt at home who cares about me! You're just a crazy psychopath that kidnaps kids and adopt them while trying to kill half the universe! Now I know why Quill said Gamora hated you!" Peter blurted out angrily. Peter instantly regretted opening his mouth.

———————————————————-

"We're here." Nat announced.

"Bruce you stay here just in case Peter needs medical attention." Tony said.

"Bucky stay with him just in case." Steve told Bucky. The two nodded and the rest rushed into the ship.

"Okay Peter where are you." Tony muttered.

There were suddenly the sound of screaming mixed with crying. They all started running in that direction. The screaming echoed off the hallway as they approached a room with the door open.

They all peeked into the room to see a horrifying sight. Peter was being suspended in the air while screaming in pain tears and blood dripping to the ground. Thanos stood in front of him and the Power Stone was glowing brightly.

Tony felt like he was about to be sick at the sight of Peter's torture. The kid didn't deserve this no one did.

Thanos had a sick grin on his face and let go of Peter letting him fall to the ground with a thud.

"What do you have to say now." Thanos said in a growled.

"S-st-o-p...p-l-eas-e..." Peter croaked spiting up blood.

Thanos then proceeded to chain Peter's ankles and wrists to the wall in a small cage he conjured with the Reality Stone. Peter lay limp as all of it was happening too weak to fight back.

"You will learn soon." Thanos mumble leaving the room.

The avengers exchanged glances before entering the room. They all practically ran over to Peter's cage eager to help him. Tony was the quickest one to get to Peter to see him laying limp with pools of blood all around him and a small puddle of tears near his face.

"Thor bust open the cage." Tony said clenching his fist.

"I'll do it as carefully as possible as not to hit the spider boy." Thor responded before using his axe to slice the lock clean off.

"I'll get the shackles off of him." Nat stated entering the cage with a lock pick.

Tony followed Natasha into the cage and knelt down next to Peter.

"Mr.S-ta-rk." Peter slurred.

"Hey Pete. We're gonna get you out of here okay." Tony told him pushing Peter's hair out of his eye.

"Mhm... kay...." Peter croaked.

"I need you to stay awake for now okay." Tony added.

"O-kay M-r.Sta-rk...." Peter mumbled fighting to stay conscious. Tony exhaled deeply in relief, before Nat spoke.

"Okay let's get out of here." She said dropping the last chain around Peter to the ground.

Tony nodded and picked up Peter carefully as possible, trying to avoid touching his wounds. Peter was surprisingly light to Tony's surprise.

"Okay let's get the kid out of here." Cap said.

They rushed back to their ship. Tony was the farthest ahead with Peter in his arms. Peter was in critical condition which was evident by the small blood trail he was making.

They made it back to the ship and ran on board.

"Jesus! Tony put the kid down over here." Bruce said when he saw Peter.

"Nat get us home." Steve said closing the doors behind him.

Peter had been set down on a small medical table with a bright light over top of him. Bruce strapped him down to the table to keep him from moving. Peter started to panic and struggle with the restraints holding him down.

"Pete it's okay." Tony told him but Peter didn't hear him and continued to fight weakly.

"Peter stop, you're safe." He repeated. He placed his hand over Peter's to calm him down. Peter stopped struggling and squeezed back weakly.

"Mr.S-tar-k it hur-t's...." He mumbled in pain as his tears made there way down his face.

"I know Pete. I know." Tony replied.

"Tony, I need you to keep him calm. I'm going need to inject him with a sleeping serum." Bruce said pulling outa syringe filled with a purple liquid.

"Bruce you can't do that. Peter hates injections and doctors its going to freak him out." Tony argued.

"Tony I need to it's the only way to slow down his blood flow and heart rate enough to get him back to the compound alive." He emphasized the last word greatly. Tony nodded.

"Hey Pete I need you to stay calm ,can you do that for me." Tony asked a fading Peter.

Peter gave a weak nod in agreement. Bruce had the syringe close to Peter's arm as Tony talked. While Peter was distracted and injected it while the teenager was off guard. Peter took a deep gasp as he felt the needle.

"It's going be okay Pete I promise." He felt Peter squeeze his hand in fear and pain before passing out due to the serum.

He got up and turned around to see everybody in the ship staring at him.

"What, is my hair on fire or something." He asked.

"No you just seem a little overly attached that's all." Natasha commented with a small smirk on her face.

"I am not overly attached." Tony argued.

"Quite the contrary. I'd say you are acting in a fatherly manor towards the boy." Thor smirked.

"I am not." Tony stated.

"Come on Tony. Why deny it. Peter looks up to you and adores you. He a sweet kid by the way you described him on the way to rescue him." Bruce pointed out.

"He's right Stark you care a lot more about the kid than you'll admit." Bucky sighed.

"I..." Tony trailed off with a loss for words.

"Wow the great Tony Stark is speechless." Natasha said sarcastically.

"Never thought I'd see the day." Steve whispered to her.

Bruce had hooked up a heart rate monitor to Peter. Tony looked at the visual representation of Peter's heart rate to see the life line jumping up much lower than it should be.

"FRIDAY." He said obviously not happy.

"Yes, Sir." The AI responded immediately.

"What is the probability of Peter getting back to the compound alive." He asked as he exhaled deeply, afraid of the answer.

"Sir the probability of Peter making it back to the compound alive are 1 in 139 sir." FRIDAY explained.

Tony did not like those numbers at all. He wiped the sweat off his forehead and sat beside Peter's weakened sleeping body.

"Come on kid please make it through this." He muttered.

An hour later they made it to the compound and Peter's all ready scarily low heart rate had dropped lower. They practically rushed Peter to the medical bay.

"Come on stay with us kid." Bruce muttered attaching an oxygen mask to Peter's face and calling a few of the best doctors over to help Peter. Tony waited outside the room praying Peter would live through this. It had been at least three hours since they'd started operating on Peter and it was almost midnight.

"Tony you've been sitting there for three hours you got to get some sleep." Nat said.

"No I got the kid into this mess I need to be here when he wakes up." Tony stated plainly.

"Tony you ca-" Steve started before he was cut off by Bruce opening the door.

"You can come see him now but he's not awake." Bruce said holding the door open for Tony, Nat and Steve.

When they walked in Peter was lying unconscious on a medical bed still in his suit with an IV cable attached to his arm. Thanks to his advanced healing factor they were only busies and faint scars on his body. God he was so pale. Tony sat on the edge of the boys bed beside Peter and squeezed his hand gently.

Peter started struggling in his sleep. His head whipped from side to side followed by panicked breathing before he sat straight up in his bed screaming.

"Kid come down it's just me!" Tony said grabbing the teens attention.

"Mr.Stark?" He asked a tremble in his voice.

"Yeah kid it's me." Tony replied.

Peter looked at Tony before looking down and started crying hard. His body shook as he curled into a ball and covered his head.

"Whoa kiddo it's okay, you're safe. What's wrong?" Tony asked.

"It hurt Mr.Stark. It felt like I was being electrocuted, suffocated and set on fire all at the same time. And I couldn't make it stop. I-i...can't... hurt." Peter broken in too heavy sobs.

"I know kid, I know." Tony muttered quietly. He wrapped his arms around Peter hugging him.

Peter felt safe and at ease now. He was gonna be okay.
