Sick - P.P · Y/n story by @drew1298

Tony Stark

His fever's still climbing. 105.2. Bruce, if we don't get this under control soon, we're going to start seeing organ damage.

Bruce Banner

I've run every test I can think of. His blood work is... bizarre. The spider DNA is mutating. Evolving. Fighting something we can't even identify.

Peter thrashed weakly on the medical bed, his skin flushed and slick with sweat. IVs snaked from both arms, and a dozen monitors beeped a frantic, discordant rhythm.

Natasha Romanov

He's trying to say something.

Tony Stark

Probably delirious. He's been mumbling for the past hour.

Natasha Romanov

moves closer to the bed, her voice dropping low Peter. Can you hear me?

Peter Parker

lips barely moving, voice a cracked whisper Y/n...

Steve Rogers

What did he say?

Natasha Romanov

A name. Y/n.

Clint Barton

Sounds like he's asking for someone. Anybody know a Y/n?

Steve Rogers

No one on the team. Could be someone from school.

Tony Stark

Never heard him mention anyone named Y/n. pauses FRIDAY, run a search on known associates of Peter Parker matching the name Y/n. Citywide.

FRIDAY

Running search. Results will take some time due to incomplete data.

Peter Parker

voice rises, urgent and breaking Y/n. Need... Y/n. Please.

The room went still. Even the monitors seemed to quiet for a beat.

Thor

The young mortal calls for help. Perhaps this Y/n is a healer of some kind. A midwife of the spirit.

Tony Stark

Or just a friend he's hallucinating about. We can't go chasing a ghost while he's burning alive.

Natasha Romanov

He's not hallucinating, Tony. Look at him. He's focused.

Peter Parker

eyes cracked open, glassy and unfocused, but his hand reached out toward nobody Y/n... don't... don't leave.
