Tony: I have a plan.
Bucky: It can’t involve self-sacrifice.
Tony: I no longer have a plan.
i just realized…
why cant we get another “film by peter parker” in quarantine.
SPIDER-MAN: STAYING HOME
thank you. goodbye
I just had a thought.
imagine being the Batgirl to Jason's Robin, and the two of you had grown up together, surviving in Crime Alley.
then, when Jason followed Batman to Switzerland, you followed, being partners in every sense of the word. wherever he went, you went, and vice versa.
imagine being in that warehouse - you bleeding out from a knife wound, your consciousness dimming, and Jason brutally injured by a crowbar, his breathing labored.
imagine his desperate words telling you to stay awake, to not leave him.
imagine his body trying to curl around yours as best he could, trying (and failing) to cover you from the impending explosion.
imagine you dying, 10 seconds before the bomb went off. 10 seconds that Jason spent alone in that warehouse before his own life ended. alone with your lifeless body.
I wonder what happens after you're both resurrected by the pit.
You’re a member of the Z-team. Your team is who they send in when teams A-Y have failed, but that’s never happened before. But to everyone’s horror, that day just came.
Part 1
Sitting next to Letty in a booth across from the two strange men, Owen gnawed on his bottom lip. He had no idea what to think about the men
They had introduced themselves as Roman and Tej, being fairly friendly towards Owen
He didn't want to admit it, but Owen knew that neither would hurt him. Especially Roman, who was actually really funny
And had some really shiny jewelry
So shiny in fact, Owen got lost looking at the man's watch when Letty ran a hand through his hair
Blinking, Owen frowned up at her
"What do you want to eat, sweetheart?" She smiled kindly
Looking down at the menu again, Owen pointed a large burger
"Please?"
"You sure you can eat that much?" Letty raised an eyebrow
Owen puffed out his chest
"Deck says I'm like a black hole!" He wasn't sure what his brother meant by that, but be took pride in it nonetheless
"People say the same thing about me, too, buddy!" Roman laughed
"Got that right." Tej mumbled from where he was looking at his own menu
While Roman had been very friendly and had a very shiny watch, Owen was a bit more interested in the small device Tej occasionally would bring it
Owen had seen the large blocky mobile phone his mother used, but the thing Tej had was completely different. It was sleek and didn't seem to have any visible buttons
Owen wanted it
Soon enough, a server came around and took their orders, sending a kind smile to Owen. He nodded back politely
"Oh?"
"Yeah, Let?"
"What's the last thing you remember?" She asked softly
Owen frowned and bit his bottom lip again in thought
"I was at my grandpa's house and he just said good night, but I wasn't sleepy. So, I was really quiet so I wouldn't wake Deck and snuck into Hatt's room. I've been reading her my favorite book!" Owen said the last part with pride. His teachers said he was one of the best readers in the class
"Who's Hatts?"
"My little sister!"
Letty stared at him with wide eyes
Owen stiffened. Did he say something wrong? That happened sometimes when he was meeting with his parents' friends. It never ended well for him
But Letty's expression changed quickly as a smiled appeared on her lips again
"What else do you remember?"
"Well, I had been reading but felt really sleepy. So, me and Hatts fell asleep. And then I woke up cold and wet. And met you." Owen said quietly
Letty nodded at him and looked about to ask something else when their food arrived. When Owen's eyes landed on his, he felt his stomach rumble
He was so hungry, he didn't notice the looks the adults were sending him as he finished off almost all the food
Now full, he watched the adults work on their food much more slowly. Well, except for Roman. He was already ordering a second meal
"Let?" Owen tugged on her sleeve
"Yes, Oh?"
"May I be excused to go to the loo?"
"Sure. It's just right over there. Do you want me to go with you?"
Owen shook his head quickly. He didn't need anyone. He was old enough
Without looking back, Owen walked towards the restroom and saw a man holding a device just like Tej's. It wouldn't be hard at all to steal it
As he stepped into the restroom, Owen's eyes flickered around
If he left the restroom, Letty would see him and he would only have a small amount of time to make it to the front door of the restaurant. And that wasn't taking into account of someone stopping him
Looking up, Owen saw a window above one of the stalls. It looked low enough for him to reach
And to make things even more perfect, a man was leaving the other stall. It only took a small bump and a quiet "excuse me, sir", and Owen had his own little device
Locking the stall door behind him, Owen let a smirk spread across his young face. Far too easy
In less than a minute, Owen had the window open and was wiggling out of it. He landed on a large garbage bin and found himself in the alley behind the restaurant
Smirking even more, Owen made his way out of the alley and onto the familiar streets of London
Luke: so, what do you look for in a man?
Owen: weaknesses I can exploit
Luke: that's exactly what your brother said
Luke: and your sister
Luke:
Luke: what the fuck is wrong with you people?
Okay maybe I'm grasping at nothing, but hear me out:
We all know Peter has spidey senses. He used them to defeat Mysterio in Far From Home.
But we see Peter struggling with them all throughout the movie:
(Peter not sensing the banana)
(Peter not sensing Nick Fury in the room)
(Peter not sensing everything around him in the pub was an illusion)
(Finally, Peter not being able to decide whether Happy is real or fake)
Now here we wonder, why is that happening?
Take into account the events of Infinity War. When Thanos snapped his fingers, unlike others, Peter could sense his death coming, that's why he fell into Tony's arms saying, “Mr Stark I don't feel so good”. Imagine such a terrible thing happening to you, feeling the pain everywhere yet not being able to fix it. This could and HAS led to post traumatic stress in Peter. PTSD leads to changes in the body and impotence is one of them. Also the added trauma of his mentor dying? Anyone's mind could've become fucked up after that.
“Okay, so where are you going with this?” you must be thinking.
Well, what if Peter sensed something was unnatural about the water monster (other than the fact it was a monster made up of water, of course) so he shot something at it, just because? But he turned out to be “wrong” because it went right through the drones. He was right about it, but he didn't know then.
Wrongly sensing something so big like that would have created some serious self doubt in Peter.
That's why he must have discarded every tingle in his skin that sensed the illusions around Mysterio in the pub. That's why he must have ignored the possibility of someone being in his and Ned's room. That's why he asked Happy if he was real when he got off the plane.
It's because he was doubting himself and the very abilities that made him Spiderman.
Peter wasn't dumb. He was right about shooting a web at the water monster.
For brownie points: add why in the tags
(For context, Vivzipop did say in one of her lives that one of the main six would die)
Two-bit: Flirting is my heritage.
Johnny: What does that mean?
Steve: His father was a slut too.
Tim: God, give me patience.
Jason: I think you meant "give me strength."
Tim: If God gave me strength, you'd all be dead.
they're saving my life
