Peter’s no stranger to trauma. I mean, it’s basically his life, at this point. His parents die, then his uncle gets shot in the chest right in front of him (which is his fault, regardless of what May and the policemen and the school counselor tell him), and then he catches a serious case of parent feels for Mr. Stark because, dammit, his brain still demands the presence of a father figure, and then he goes on a wild, interstate goose chase for a psycho with mechanical wings who’s stealing alien tech, and then a building gets dropped on his head.Right. That.Life after catching the Vulture hadn’t been… Easy. Nah, because things for Parkers are never easy, are they? Nosirry. Especially not Peter, orphaned and traumatized teenage superhero with a guilt complex ten times higher than the skyscrapers he can climb, never searching for hardships, but always catching them with an oomf regardless.When the nightmares first start happening, he doesn’t tell May. Or Mr. Stark. Or Happy. Or Ned, or MJ, or hell, even Flash. He doesn’t tell anyone.
