Summary
Realistically, Steve knew none of them were coming out of this unscathed. He may be dumb, but he’s not that stupid. You don’t face the things they’ve faced without taking some hits. Hell, he’s taken his fair share of physical damage (he hears Dustin’s voice say “HP, Steve! It’s HP!” in his head), and he knows they all have nightmares. So yeah, Steve knew, but that doesn’t mean he’s prepared for it.
——————
A brief character study about Steve Harrington and his inability to address and deal with his own trauma while simultaneously helping everyone through theirs.

Summary
“Um… Mr. Murdock, sir?” The kid asks, almost for clarification but something tells Matt he doesn’t need it. But he nods anyway, and the kid continues. “I was hoping maybe you could give me some legal advice? I’m in a bit of a… tough financial and maybe legal situation,” the kid continues, stuttering nervously and unable to look at Matt directly. Matt cocks his head to the side, studying the kid in front of him. He waits, and sure enough the kid explains on his own. “You see I don’t have a job and haven’t been able to pay rent, but legally it’s been… difficult for me to get a job, if that makes sense?” Matt is confused, but legal issues he can help with.
“Well, let’s see what we can help you with, Mr…” he trails off, gesturing for the kid to fill in the blank. The teenager shifts uncomfortably in his seat, hesitating for half a second before answering, almost like he’s unsure of his own name.
“Parker. Uh. Peter Parker, sir.”
As soon as the kid says his name, something in Matt pauses. He’s sure they’ve never met before, and yet…
He tilts his head a little to the left, listening intently to Peter as he asks,
“Have we met before, Mr. Parker?”

Summary
Mac wakes up with a scream, shooting upright in bed. He doesn’t even notice the tears streaming down his face, all he can do is try to breathe. He’s gasping and panting and he can still hear Jack’s scream in his head and it’s killing him. He knows. He knows it was an act, it was a ploy, the gun was a blank. Jack is alive, and he’s perfectly fine. But he’d still shot the gun. He’d shot the gun while he had it pointed at Jack and his brain won’t stop replaying it. It’s always on a constant loop. At least when he’s awake it’s just a replay. When he dreams at night, it’s twisted, a demented nightmare. When he drifts off, it’s suddenly real. There’s no fake act, no blank, no bag of blood.
——————
Mac has a hard time dealing with the aftermath of fake-shooting Jack. Good thing Jack is right there to help.

Summary
How they ended up here really isn’t important. What is important is that now they’re here, trussed up in chains along the wall, Harry on the opposite wall to Eggsy. And that in and of itself makes Harry more anxious than the chains around his wrists and ankles, makes him more anxious than the tray two men are wheeling in loaded with various tools and painful implements. Because Eggsy is across the room from him, a good 8 feet away, and Harry can’t reach him. It fills him with a dread so deep, a feeling of discomfort so severe it feels like his very insides are crawling with molten lava. They haven’t pulled the blindfold off Eggsy yet, and Harry feels a blinding rage when the squeak of the metal wheels pulls a barely noticeable flinch from the younger man.
----------
Harry and Eggsy are kidnapped, and their captors soon discover that Harry has a weakness: Eggsy.

Summary
In which... Peter's AP Psychology teacher assigns a project centered around fathers and father figures, and Peter has to swallow his pride and fear of rejection to ask the only person in his life that can somewhat qualify under those terms—Tony Stark.
“So… you’re struggling to find a role model?” he says, the hurt exaggerated but the undertone suspiciously genuine. “Because, kid, I’ve got to admit—I’m pretty offended. You’ve got prime real estate sitting right here.”
He gestures to himself, throwing in a dramatic flourish for good measure. “Do you know how many people are lining up, just begging for an interview with the Tony Stark? A lot. And they’re all waitlisted, by the way, because I don’t do interviews anymore.”
Peter glances at him, fighting back a grin. He can already see the spark in Tony’s eye—the itch to climb onto his soapbox and launch into a tirade about how modern interviewers lack imagination. It’s one of Tony’s favorite topics, right up there with “how coffee in America is an abomination” and “the absolute travesty of poorly designed tech.”

Summary
There’s a knock at the door.
Peter flinches at the sound. He’s never had a visitor.
Since the world had forgotten who Peter Parker was, he’s been living in an apartment that was the size of a shoebox. It has everything he needs: a stove, running water, a heater that works 60% of the time. It gets the job done.
Yet, he has never had someone knock on the door. He stands cautiously and focuses on any sounds that he hears. There is one familiar heartbeat.
Peter shakes his head, recognizing the paranoia that plagues him. He tries to convince himself that nothing is wrong, that he is safe. It’s why he does not check the peephole before opening the door.
Tony Stark stands at the other side.
