    Summary

    Lab days vanished. The guest room at the Tower stayed dark. Friday still greeted him politely when he passed the lobby—“Good afternoon, Peter”—but the elevator never opened to the penthouse anymore. He took the subway home from school now, earbuds in, volume up so he wouldn’t hear the empty space where Tony’s voice used to be. He stopped swinging by the Tower after patrols. What was the point?

    Summary

    Tim is five years old when he drowns in his parents' pool. He dies quietly, waiting for parents who love him, but will never be there, to realise that something is wrong. They never show up, and he sinks into oblivion.

    When he wakes up and claws his way out of the water, the sun has set, and the lights of his house are on. He is cold and wet and his lungs burn.

    But most of all, Tim is alone.

    (If you die and no-one is there to see it, were you ever alive in the first place?)

    Summary

    “Petya,” Papa sighed, exasperated. He wiped his hand down his face, then dropped it and looked back at his son. “What’s wrong? Bad dream?”

    Peter wished he could say that it was. Let his dad keep thinking that he was the nice little boy who never did anything bad, except for the times he was forced to. But he was bad now, and that realization caused a lump to grow in his throat.

    “There’s something wrong with me,” Peter gasped.

    ***

    It had been years since they were rescued. Peter grew older, became thin, sad, and violent. But violence was good. Violence maintained order. Order prevented chaos. Chaos had no purpose, unlike Peter, whose purpose, like violence, maintained order. And some people have to die to preserve that order. Dying is just their purpose. Peter was choosing to fulfill his.

    (or: Peter’s struggling, Bucky’s overprotective, the worst video goes viral on twitter, John Walker is an empathetic asshole, Valentina tries to control the narrative, and Sam saves the day)
