Clint POV

I felt my head throbbing and muttering coming from right beside me. I opened my eyes and realized I was on the floor in a cell. I looked to my right and saw Natasha next to me in her own cell sleep talking.

Why am I in a cell?

I got to my feet and looked around to see what was there, nothin.

"Tony? Avengers?"

No response of course. Suddenly I felt something try to controlling me. I knew it was that same mysterious force that urged me to kill the kid. I felt my vision going dark and before I knew it I was out of consciousness again and the force took control of me again.

Tony POV

I had been up all night working on a cure for Peter's illness. I haven't left the Med Bay because I couldn't bring myself to leave the kid alone. I walked over to the chemicals I had been mixing and added glucose and liquid vibranium to it. Hoping that it would work I walked over to Peter and took some of his blood. The kid was in a very deep sleep so he didn't feel the needle pierce through his skin and draw blood. When I got his blood sample I brought it over to my table and put on a glass lid. Then I put a drop of the chemical I made on the blood and waited to see it dissolve fully into the blood. When the chemical was gone I looked at Peter's blood underneath the microscope and checked the genetic makeup.

"Bruce!" I yelled at the sleeping scientist.

"What," he slurred getting up out of his chair and walking sleepily over to me.

"I found a cure," I said still not believing that this was real.

"Really!" Bruce practically shouted.

"Yes really I just said it," I muttered back at him.

"Wake the kid and I will work on making more," Bruce said while looking at my formula charts to make some more of the chemical.

I walked over to Peters bed and started to shake him. He broke out in a cold sweat and was pale as a ghost.

"Kid wake up."

No response.

"Kid wake up now!" I shouted at him.

Peter POV

I was about to jump over and catch the guys I had been chasing all night. I was running on rooftops and had the advantage.

"Surprise," I screamed jumping off a roof and jumping to the van.

Before I could touch the van something grabbed me and pulled me straight up. I screamed as the houses started shrinking beneath me.

"What the hell!" I shouted as I turned around and saw a bird like thing holding me.

Suddenly my parachute opened and pulled me down into a lake head first. I struggled to get out of the tangled mess. I was going to drowned if I didn't get out soon. My vision stared to get blurry as I lost more oxygen....

"Kid wake up now!" I heard Mr. Stark scream.

I shot awake and turned to look at him. I couldn't help but tremble all over.

"It was just a nightmare, I'm sorry I scared you," I mumbled trying to control myself.

"It's fine just don't leave me like that kid," he said smirking but failing to hide the worry in his eyes.

The room started to spin rapidly and before I knew it I was leaning over the edge of the bed puking.

Tony POV

The kid woke up with a jerk and my heart melted at the sight of him. He was pale, sweaty, and shaking horribly.

"It was just a nightmare, I'm sorry I scared you," he muttered to me.

It broke my heart hearing him apologize for something that he couldn't control.

"It's fine just don't leave me like that kid," I said trying to lighten the mood.

I was about to ask him how he was feeling when he suddenly lurched to the side and started puking. I rubbed his back and to my horror felt his bones. I let him finish puking up nothing before making him stand up next to the bed and take off his gown.

"Mr. Stark why do I have to take off my gown? I'm not comfortable without it," he said clearly embarrassed.

"Do you have boxers on underneath," I asked.

"Of course but-" the kid started but I cut him off.

"Then you better take off that stupid gown," I said pointing at his garb.

He grumbled a little more before complying and taking off his gown. He stood in front of me in nothing but boxers. I looked at him and my mouth dropped open from horror. I could see his ribs and bones all over his body. I could even see the outline of his skull on his face. He must have sensed something wrong because he turned to look at the mirror and practically fainted.

"Woah kid, your okay," I said trying to sound reassuring.

"I'm not okay! Are you blind?" He yelped at me.

"It is okay we are working on making more of the cure I made while you were asleep," I said pointing to Bruce who was, to my great displeasure, staring at the kid like he had seen a ghost.

"Y-you found a cure?" He asked skeptically while trying to avoid Bruces stare.

"Yes! And when it kicks in we will go to Dr. Octopus and kick his sorry ass," I said happily.

That seemed to perk up the kid and he grabbed his gown putting it back on over himself.

"Bruce?" I said waving my hand in front of the scientist to get him out of his trance.

"Hmm?" He asked peeling his eyes away from the kid.

"How is the cure coming along?"

"Oh the cure!"

"Yup, the one that will save the kid, how is it going?" I said pushing more for an answer.

"It is ready to be injected," he said looking towards the kid.

I turned towards the kid who was looking curiously at us.

"Ready Pete?" I asked holding the needle up to his paper thin arm that looked like the slightest touch would break it.

He grabbed the needle and moved it up to his shoulder. I looked at him questioningly.

"The needle will go through my arm. You have better luck sticking it in my shoulder," he said while bracing himself for me to inject him.

I stuck the needle in his arm, he let out a small yelp and tensed up. Slowly I injected the cure into his shoulder. When all of the liquid was gone from the syringe I removed it from his shoulder and gave it to Bruce. Peter slowly feel asleep from the narcotics in the formula. Then me and Bruce did all we could, and that was wait for him to wake back up.
