Summary
Sometimes, traumatic things happen to us and our brains don’t know how to function in its aftermath.
And so, they shut down. Toss it away. Put it in the back of our mind. Forget about it. Because denial is easier than accepting what happened to be true.
Peter once couldn’t understand how that could be true. But then, Skip Westcott transferred to Midtown High.
But then, Peter began to remember.
And he shut down.
TW: This story centers heavily on sexual assault and the aftermath of it. Please don’t forget to practice self-care before, during, and after reading.

Summary
“Hey there, Parker. I’ve got some exciting news about your community service sentencing,” the bright voice from the other line says. "It looks like you've been reassigned."
“Oh, yeah?” Peter asks, warily. His social worker sounds excited, but he's been burned a few too many times to take any "good news" at face value.
Peter listens to her explain with a furrowed brow, and when the call is over, he opens the web browser on his cracked Android and quickly types the words september foundation into the search bar. His eyes narrow as he peruses the top result.
Oh, he is going to kill that Stark bastard.
-
All Peter Parker wants to do is fly under the radar. He wants to go to school, work off his sentence by picking up trash at the stupid park, and avoid going home for as long as possible each night. Unfortunately for him, Tony Stark has never been one to see untapped potential and not do something about it.

Summary
Peter Parker is not immune to trauma.
Far from it, in fact.
(With great power comes great responsibility, Peter.)
So when the building collapses, when the dilapidated remains of metal and concrete, and later searing scraps of plane, fall around him? Well, this is practically nothing.
Practically.
He’s fine, really. It just gets a little hard to breathe sometimes. Like, when he follows Happy into Stark Tower through the parking garage. Or when he turns on the news while doing homework and sees reports of a plane crash.
And sure, the small fire that broke out in the chemistry lab had sent his heart racing and caused sweat to bead on the back of his neck until even Ned asked if he was okay, but it’s nothing to worry about.
Regardless, he knows where those come from.
But this?

In which Skip Westcott is a repressed memory, until he returns.
