Chapter 7

I will be wrapping this fic up within the next few chapters.

Peter woke up in a sweat with tears on his face and a concerned Tony looming over him, their faces nearly touching.

Startled, Peter shot up and head butted Tony right in the face. Said man stood straight, swearing and holding his nose which now ran red with blood.

"Oh my God Tony! I'm so sorry I-" Tony held out a hand and Peter stopped talking.

"It's fine kid, not your fault. Are you okay? You were...having bad dreams." Tony glanced at him, traces of sorrow hidden in his features. Features that not many could identify.

Suddenly remembering everything- the plan the dreams, and the pain.

Swallowing hard, Peter nodded. "Yeah sure Mister Stark. I'm okay."

Before Tony got a chance to question him further Eoin grunted in the background. Tony flipped him off and yelled something back.

Turning back to Peter, Tony looked carefully at him. "Alright kid, time to get this show on the road. You ready?"

Peter nodded slowly, unsure if he truly was, in fact, ready.

Tony clapped his hands loudly, startling both Eoin and Peter out of their thoughts.

"Okay ladies...Let's do this."

The plan itself is simple. They will draw the attention of the guards to their cell. They know the guards will take one of them to make an a example of. And that's exactly what Tony wants.

The person needs to allow their captors to take them, and he needs to stay alert long enough for the other two to find their way to the control room.

From there they can send out a signal that will alert the Avengers to their location.

Figuring out who would be taken was tricky. Peter was their favorite and it wouldn't be hard to get them to take him. But he was also already injured and Tony didn't like the idea of him getting another beating.

However, and as horrible as this sounded to Tony, the kid couldn't keep up when running through the halls. He would only slow them down and Tony knows he won't have the strength to carry him.

Eoin couldn't do it, he was too unpredictable and probably didn't understand a word of the plan anyway. He wouldn't be of much use.

Of course Tony could go but he doesn't exactly trust Eoin to help Pete out if he can't make it all the way to the control room.

The obvious choice is Peter. And Tony hates that. He and Eoin talked all night- the best they could- and Eoin made some good points.

After Tony told him about Peter's powers, Eoin assured him that the boy would be fine, that he only has to hold out until his signal came, then they would all be free.

After a few more key details they were ready.

All at once both Eoin and Tony began yelling loudly at each other, Peter joining in only when he heard someone approaching.

Their door swung open and Peter, as planned, threw himself at one of the guards.

Surprised, the guard was launched backwards and both he and Peter landed hard on the cracked cement.

Peter was unable to get up, even as his three captors surrounded him and began to hoist him up. Wasting no time however, Peter pulled his old torn shirt from his jeans and launched it- just as the guards got him up- right at the door.

—

Tony watched as Peter tackled the man and went sprawling. He watched as they roughly pulled him upright slammed the door closed and began to drag him away.

More importantly though he watched as Peter, in all the havoc, threw the bundle of cloth right where he said he could.

Tony watched as the guards took Peter again. But this time it wasn't helpless because even though Tony watched them take his kid away, he watched it through an open door.

You guys let me know if that was confusing and if I should rewrite it because I actually got a bit confused writing it. Anyway we will get a first look into the actual torture Peter has to endure in the next chapter. Lots of angst and h/c. Alright guys. Until next time

P.S. Tony is watching through an open door because peter used the cloth to stop it from closing all the way. It was early when I wore this- sorry ;)
