Whumptober - 8. Stab Wound
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7
(Flash back, cont’d from last)
The questioning comes, and then being shoved into ice-cold water when he doesn’t comply. See? It’s just like the first time.
The fourth time they shove him down, they don’t pull him back up.
Instead, he feels the hand let go of him and he’s tentative to come back up on his own, but he can only hold his breath so long.
Something sharp digs in at his back and he tries to fight the person off, but they back away and out of his reach.
His fingers slip back to the edge of the tub to push himself up out of the water.
Just as he starts to, he feels hands return to his neck and shoulder and he turns to shove them away as well, to attack, to do something. Maybe to make his escape, he hasn’t exactly planned it out just yet, but now seems like the best time to try something.
He throws out his fist, but his hand hits the shadowed figure as though he’s made of rock and the man doesn’t even have the decency to back away.
Tony reels in pain, still spluttering and coughing as he blinks to clear his eyes.
He first looks at his hand, then back up and he smiles in disbelief, “Peter?”
Peter’s arms wrap around him and Tony collapses against him, clutching at his skintight suit and still trying to catch his breath.
“Oh god, kid, you had me there for a moment.”
“I’m so sorry, sir, I came as fast as I could.”
“Nah, you did great,” Tony assures him, leaning on Peter as his vision starts to go black, his legs giving out under him.
Peter catches him, and Tony barely hears his panicked voice when he realizes that Tony’s been stabbed.
