《Marvel One-Shots》Don't Close Your Eyes

'Man I'm so tired. How long have I been in here? Maybe.....an hour?'
"Karen? How long have I been in here?"
"What?!? That's it?" Peter exclaimed as his eyes slowly started dropping.
"
Peter's eyes shot open, "no! I mean I'm okay Karen. You don't need to call anyone. I'll get out of here myself." He tried to get up off the ground while his legs shook and trembled as he pushed up onto his feet. He staggered forward a few feet and went to the freezer door banging on it multiple times, either to punch it away or to signal for help. He placed his forehead against the iced door. The sweet smell of ice cream filled his nostrils and he slumped forward, hitting his head against the door.
'Sorry Mr. Stark. You'll be disappointed that a little cold beat me. I just wanted to get...so sleepy...I'm just going to go to sleep now.'
Peter lost consciousness as footsteps raided the door and the freezer door handle shook. Light flooded the big freezing room as Peter's mind met darkness.
"PETER!!"
-1 hour earlier-
"Clint? What are we doing here?", Sam said as he and Clint walked into the store.
"Peter asked me to get a cake for Tony. I think for Fathers Day or something. I think he went to get something special and then the ice cream. We are going to meet him there after getting a few other things."
Sam raised his eyebrow, "So why am I here?"
"Because I didn't want to go by myself."
"You suck."
Both men walked down the aisles until Clint grabbed a few party items. He grabbed a few streamers, iron man themed plates and napkins, and then some cups. "So...now we get the cake?" Sam asked.

"Yeah. Peter wanted me to write a nice message on it. Now see, if it was me choosing what the cake said I would have it say "old man celebration day", but than Peter would attach me to the ceiling for 2 hours and then give me the silent treatment for who knows how long." Clint shivered at the thought from last time.
They walked up to the worker and ordered a red and yellow cake saying, "Happy Father's Day Tony!"
"Shoot. Clint? We have to meet Peter at the ice cream place in a few. Good thing it's down the block."
The two headed in the direction of the ice cream parlor when a man ran straight past them holding a bag of money. Luckily, a police officer had cut through the alley way and tackled the man. Looking at the direction the man was running from both heroes concluded that he had come from the ice cream parlor, and robbed it. Both obviously had concerns that Peter hadn't stopped the man so they walked up to the cop.
"Hey officer. If you don't mind I need to ask him a question?"
"Oh my gosh you guys are Avengers! Yeah I guess you could." She said.
"Hey dude. Did you see a teen who has brown slightly curly hair and big brown eyes? We kinda need him."
The man chuckled. "That brat!? He tried to stop me so I shoved him the the freezer. What an idiot!!" He started laughing maniacally.
The cop looked at them with wide eyes and grabbed her radio calling for an ambulance as both Sam and Clint sprinted towards the doors. They ran inside the parlor, the sweet smell blasting them in the face. The cold crisp air ran throughout the entire store, and they ran to the freezer in the back. Clint grabbed the handle and swung it open.

"PETER!"
Right in front of them was a teen, frost dusting his hair and eyelashes. His face and lips were slightly tinted blue and his breaths were shallow. Sam grabbed Peter and lifted him out of the room. "CLINT! GET ME SOMETHING WARM NOW!!"
A woman outside of the store ran in, and wrapped the teen up. "I know it's not much but I had this in the car."
"Thank you so much."
Clint ran back in with the paramedics right at his heel. They took Peter and placed him on a stretcher. "Wait. Take him to the Avengers Tower. It's closer and there are top doctors there."
The paramedics nodded and drove off. Clint and Sam grabbed a few ice cream buckets, gave money to the owner and chased off after the ambulance.
~time skip brought to you by my snoring dog~
Tony sat in the infirmary next to Peter. When he heard that Peter had hypothermia he freaked out, considering that spiders do not do well in the cold.
Luckily, Doctor Cho and Bruce were able to raise Peter's temperature back up. All that was left was for him to wake up.
"What the hell were you doing there Peter?" Tony whispered.
"He was going this for you Tony."
Tony turned around and saw Clint leaning against the wall. He sat next to Tony and leaned back. "He wanted you to have a good Father's Day. So he had a few of us go out to help him get things to set it up. He texted me earlier saying he couldn't get your present so I picked it up. Here." Clint handed Tony a wrapped up thing. A really badly wrapped up thing, and then walked out.
Tony tore open the wrapping and looked at the gift Peter had gotten him. In the picture frame was the two of them in the lab working on a few prototypes. One of Tony's bots had malfunctioned bad sprayed both of them with foam so they laughed when they saw each-other. Apparently FRIDAY had taken a photo.
Tony didn't even notice the tears that were running down his face and onto the glass of the frame. He placed it on the table next to him and grabbed Peter's hand.
"Thanks kid. You don't know how much that meant to me."
And he felt a little squeeze back.

Bear with me or contact me if you find something that is just too bad for you. Actually, I appreciate any reports of errors (spelling or continuity) that you find and let me know about.
