Summary
“Oh, god.” Steve whispers, sounding as horrified as Tony feels. “You’re so young. Tony, he’s so young.”
Spider-Man coughs once, a frail, baby-bird sound.
.
(They find his body in a Dumpster.)

Summary
Peter's alternated between ramen and peanut butter sandwiches for the past week. He only really eats healthy in the Tower when he's there a few times a week, and otherwise, he and May just don't have the time or energy that robust, fancy meals require. To say he's overwhelmed is an understatement.
He feels like fight or flight is starting to set in.
(Food insecurity rears its ugly head for Peter when he's at a stupidly fancy dinner with the Avengers; he tries to hide it, but he doesn't really do a good job, especially with his surrogate dad watching him like a hawk...eye.)

Summary
Tony leafs through the deluge of letters with growing annoyance, names like Venus Corp, Crux, and Spriteware popping out at him as he tosses them aside. “Care to explain, Parker?” He snaps, and Peter smiles at him sheepishly.
“They’re ... recruitment letters?”
The nerve.
Or: Tony may or may not use a whole damn press conference just to show any other backwoods science industry where Peter Parker belongs.

When Steve pictures hell, the image of fifteen-year-old Peter convulsing in his arms with guttural, blood-soaked gasps is what he’ll be seeing for at least the next five years.

Summary
“He got into a car with tinted windows and an asshole driver,” Matt says, very slowly and stiffly. “We thought he was being kidnapped.”
“It’s not that weird.” Wade chirps, though it doesn’t make Tony look less like he’s going to pop a fuse.
Peter sometimes can’t believe his life.
(AKA: Daredevil and Deadpool, being well-adjusted individuals who are very normal about Peter being a kid, handle Peter being a kid... well.)

Summary
The screaming from the medbay ricochets through the halls of the tower. The only time it stops is when it's replaced by wheezing, when Peter's run out of air to scream with and all he can do is puff out high, thin streams of air.
All Tony wants to do is scream a bit himself, and beg to nobody who's listening, and pray, and pray, and pray.
———-
Peter gets drugged.
And then it gets much, much worse.
