Rock Bottom (tag Peter)

[st_hotflashes]

When Liz managed to make it up to Peter's room - and it had been a bit of a struggle - she was distraught to learn he wasn't there. Thankfully she remembered Mr. Stark was supposed to talk to him, according to Thor, so she slowly made her way to Mr. Stark's room.

She pressed her lips together and silently prayed he was here. She knocked and the stood, trying to stay standing up while dealing with an undercurrent of nausea. Liz was a little pale. Her eyes looked tired too.

Tony had just begun to doze off when Peter hears a rap on the door.

Peter is on his feet in an instant and before the person on the other side can knock again, he jerks open the door.

Peter's breath catches in his throat for a moment.

"Liz," he manages to whisper at her. It takes another long moment for him to force his tongue into motion and another to formulate the words for an apology. "Hey, I'm -- I'm sorry about last night."
