[ Peter's still not feeling right and seems to have gotten worse. Has he told anyone that? Nope. Of course not. He'd really rather not worry anyone when they have enough to worry about-he assumed it'd blow over. But it didn't and now his hearing is... normal? His vision has gotten blurry and he's still bruised from all the fights. ]

[ Still, it was probably nothing too serious so he's relaxing in a web hammock, reading a book and squinting at words he can barely make out. It happens fast as it always used to and very suddenly he was coughing, rolling out of the hammock and dropping the book. ]

[ His chest feels tight-like it's constricting and breathing is suddenly such a chore. He stumbles his way over to the ICP and hits the intercom. ]

[ Enjoy the sound of Peter Parker coughing and hacking up a lung. ]

Anyone- [ He tries to take in a sharp breath. ] have an inhaler? [ He sounds breathless-like there's no air in his lungs. ]

[ Curufin is doubtful that Peter is going to be able to walk by himself, so he pulls Peter's arm over his strong shoulders in order to support him. ]

Let's try this.

[ He starts for the door of the carriage, moving slowly to match Peter's steps. ]

[ Always one to remember his manners, Peter's trying hard not to cough or wheeze too close Curufin but it's a little difficult when it feels like his airways are closing up. He feels light headed and there are dark spots in his vision that honestly kind of scare him. ]

[ Curufin is now more than a little worried about Peter. He can hear how hard it is for Peter to breathe. He'd be scared by those dark spots in Peter's vision if he could see them. ]

Just hang onto me, I'll keep you from falling. How're you doing?

[ It's fifteen carriages from here to the Medical Car. Just have to concentrate, keep going . . . ]

Not. Awesome. [ He manages, voice raspy and lacking his usual Peter Parker energy. But he's survived countless asthma attacks before this-he'll be fine-just concentrate on breathing. And oh man, he is feeling really dizzy. Why did he decide not to carry an inhaler around, again? ]

[ Curufin holds Peter securely. . . he hopes. If Peter starts to collapse, the Elf will catch him. ]

Yeah. You don't sound awesome. But hang in there, Peter! Don't give Tony an excuse to scold you. [ A bit of a joke, accompanied by a bit of a smile. ]

[ They make their way through the passageways and carriages, sometimes having to maneuver around furniture or people. ]

[ Peter wants so badly to make a quip about Tony always scolding him but the amount of effort that would take would be far too much and he'd really like to not pass out. ]

[ Instead he just wheezes and coughs and struggled to get even the smallest amount of air in his lungs. He'd apologize to the people they cross and try to assure them he's fine but he's definitely not. Not too much further along. He can make it, he thinks even as those dark spots in his vision seem to be growing. ]

[ Curufin can feel Peter struggling to breathe and to hold on. They finally arrive at the Medical Coach. Curufin shouts for somebody to come and help, and they do. They find an empty bed for Peter, and Curufin helps him to lie down on it. Someone goes to find an inhaler. ]

It'll only be a minute now, Peter.

[ He wheezes and coughs but the moment he doesn't have to focus on keeping himself upright he curls up continues to fight to just breathe. He's lucky in a sense that it doesn't take long for the current medic on duty to get him an inhaler and he doesn't waste time before taking it. ]

[ He's so focused on getting air that he barely reacts to the IV he's given other than a small jump and immediately turning away. He was really hoping to not have to do this part. ]

[so_dark_a_road]

[ Peter obviously doesn't like needles! Curufn doesn't know what in particular the IV is for, other than hydrating Peter and therefore keeping his blood pressure even. The medical folks probably know what they're doing, though. The inhaler is timely!

Curufin pulls up a chair and remains beside Peter, not saying much, just there for support. ]
