"I told you not to come."

Captain America glared at the teenager standing defiantly in front of him.

"I couldn't-"

"You could." Steve interrupted Peter, "You shouldn't even be a superhero. You are no good at it."

"Excuse me!" Peter ripped his mask off, ignoring Tony's gasp of shock at the rapidly-healing cut on his head. "Who has the most experience with the Vulture? And who caught him today?"

"And who almost died because they got in the way of the real superheroes? You did more harm than good!"

Peter fell silent, blinking back tears. "Fine." He turned around and stormed out of the room, ignoring his mentor's pleading cries for him to 'wait up!'

———

Sure, Peter knew the rogues didn't like him, but this crossed a line. He held a hand up to his stinging cheek and glared angrily at his reflection.

"Stupid...worthless...can't even save yourself." He muttered to himself as he cleaned his face.

Steve had hit him. He had been for weeks now, and Peter couldn't handle it anymore. Physical abuse on top of the verbal abuse from his childhood hero was really weighing him down.

He glanced furtively at the razor by the sink.

"No. Peter, you are better than this. Spider-Man is better than this." He tore his gaze away from the blade and walked out.

Dear Tony,

I'm sorry. I'm sorry for everything. For not being good enough, for being self-ish, for being a waste of space.

I know you love me. I know I love you, too. You are like my dad, I hope you know that.

I just can't take this anymore. The Avengers...

I want to sleep. I want to stop trying so hard.

I love you.

Goodbye.

-Peter Parker

Tony Stark never cried.

Tony Stark never cried, so when he came storming into the common room of the tower with tears streaming down his face, the Avengers knew something was really wrong.

And when Tony smacked Steve in the face, they knew why.

"Get out. Get out of my tower, get out of my life, get out! You took him from me! You made him feel worthless and stupid and weak, and I hate you! You are a murderer!"

"Tony," Steve rubbed his cheek, still stinging from the hit. "What are you-"

"Don't! Don't act dumb. Peter committed suicide because of you! The sweetest, strongest, most loving person I know, killed himself because of you! You deserve to die, but Peter wouldn't want that. So you are going to get out. Now."

The rogue avengers left, and as they glanced back, they saw Tony collapse to the floor in heartbreaking sobs.

So. Um... that was really hard to write, and I made it really short because I couldn't handle much more of that.

I'm really sorry for the super long wait, I have been so stressed lately.

Thanks for all the support guys!

Bye!
