Peter is... confused, at first. He wonders if maybe one of Tony's lungs collapsed in the fall, but remembers real quick that this Tony still has Extremis.

"Oh crap."

Peter hovers his hands frantically over Tony, really rather unsure of what to do. WHAT DOES HE DO?!

"Oh crapcrapcrapcrapcrap."

He looks over to THE HULK for support and is about to say something when he realizes... HE'S LOOKING TO THE HULK FOR HELP.

...

Wait.

Peter starts gesturing wordlessly as he thinks frantically about what he's going to do, lightbulbs going off in his head, as Tony gasps up at him like a floundering fish. He rips off his gloves and tears off a web-shooter and begins to pull it apart-- dismantle it as quickly as possible. The web-shooters could release liquid at the press of the plunger on the palm of his hand when he needed so... why did it have to be webbing fluid? Why couldn't it be...

Tony needed adrenaline. He wasn't going to be able to get it at this rate, and... god, Tony was dying and... he looked to the Hulk again, and then.... THE HULK. Peter stood up and slowly approached the Hulk with this makeshift syringe in his hand.

"Hey, uh... I need a favor, big guy. I'm gonna need to poke you with this and take a little bit of blood from you. Whaddya say? You wanna be a pal and help Spidey out?" Pete had his hands up defensively. He had never seen Bruce here transform, so he wasn't entirely aware that he had more control, and really, whenever he was around the Hulk, the greatest discretion was usually required.

Hulk was already looking at the naked, prone form of Stark before Spider-Man starts talking to him. Stark is dying. He can smell it. He kneels, head bowed, and brings his face to Peter's eye-level.

"Epinephrine. To keep his heart moving, correct? My blood can stimulate his heart, but I don't know what the immediate side-effects will be. Is this really your plan?"

He keeps his voice low, even. He doesn't want Spider-Man to mistake him for stupid---not when Stark's life might hang in the balance.

liverletdie April 26 2010, 05:00:09 UTC

He might not be able to move, or breathe very well, but dammit Tony could still hear. Every beat of his heart came slower, it thudded in his chest, one beat after another, slowing down with each agonizing moment.

Dead tech in his bloodstream. His nanotech was dead.

He was going to be dead again if something didn't happen. If it had been a few years ago, he would have trusted the two of them implicitly. Peter was a genius, as was Banner. Two of them together could come up with a plan.

However, he didn't. Not anymore. Hell, he wouldn't trust himself let alone people whom he'd practically betrayed.

Then he heard the plan.

Oh. Oh no. No not that. His breathing, or what could be constituted as that quickened. Short, gasping breaths.

listen_bud April 26 2010, 05:14:03 UTC

Peter hesitates in surprise, eyes widening at the rather... accurate and concise response the Hulk had just given him.

"Uh... yeah, actually..." he scratched at the back of his head and then approached the Hulk with the makeshift needle. "And it's the only plan I've got, so unless you've got a better one..."

He was drawing the blood now. "Saving naked, dying billionaires isn't really like a daily thing, so I don't really have a Plan B to fall back on."

He could hear Tony gasping at this point, and man, he didn't really want the guy to be retarded, so he had to hurry. He moved back over to Tony and regarded the situation with nervous severity for a moment before taking apart his other web-shooter to create a longer needle of sorts that would be long enough to break through the breastplate and reach his heart.

In the meantime, Peter hiked up his mask and leaned in low to Tony and grimaced slightly. "Look, before I do this, I just don't want you to get the idea that I'm easy, okay? I mean... ugh... nevermind," he sighed. "I can't even make this joke."

Then he began CPR.

hulkkeysmash April 26 2010, 05:30:33 UTC

He offers his arm, palm up, and flexes until one of his thick ropey veins pops to the surface. He has to relax and allow the needle to pierce his skin---it would be impossible unless he lets it.

"Take it," he rumbles.
"We don't have time. We'll figure the rest out later. It can be controlled if we flush him quickly."

His upper lip curls when he kneels by Stark with that shooter full of acid-green blood. This seems wrong---a mistake. At least, a dark and wholly detached part of himself realizes, if Stark turns into something like him, he can be put down.

Hulk is strongest there is.

His eyes close and he puts a finger to the puncture wound---mosquito-small and already healed. Good. He calms himself, breathes, and reverts with painful-sounding crunches and snaps of muscle and bone.

Fully human again, Bruce peers at Spider-Man with bleary eyes.

"No pulse or breathing? I'll switch with you after three rounds of compressions."

liverletdie April 26 2010, 05:38:44 UTC

He was trying to protest, tell Peter that he didn't need or want cpr from Spider-Man.

Maybe if he was ten years younger, blonde, and female he'd be ok with this, but Peter wasn't and he was trying to protest this by moving his eyes when his heart actually stopped.

Over ten years of keeping it alive through artificial means and it stopped right now.

He tried to struggle, but it wasn't working.

listen_bud April 26 2010, 05:48:16 UTC

Pete stopped when his heart did. It was now or never, he thought as he plucked the syringe from the ground. For a moment he lifted it high and then dropped it down hard so it would pass through to his heart, and he pressed down on the shooter's plunger and watched the green liquid disappear.

There was maybe a split second where he thought it might not have worked when Tony's pulse and heartbeat came back pounding harder than he could imagine, but there was still the matter of oxygen, and he had to continue CPR.

He leaned back down and was about to give a breath when he stopped and moved to his knees. "WHY IS EVERYBODY NAKED."

"DON'T YOU LIKE... don't you like carry spare pants or anything?"

He gave a frustrated sigh and continued with the CPR, and inwardly tried to go to his happy place.

hulkkeysmash April 26 2010, 05:54:01 UTC

"Where would I keep them? I didn't anticipate this. I couldn't have!" Bruce cups himself awkwardly, face flushed hot and eyes still glowing slightly green. He counts the compressions, watching Spider-Man. His heart's pounding high in his throat, the Hulk-calm receding a bit now that Stark is full of the mutated flotsam of his genes.

"I'll take over."

liverletdie April 26 2010, 05:57:12 UTC

His body jerked in pain, and Tony's chest started moving, his heart kept beating. He gasped in a breath, his eyes widening, mouth slack. Then his fingers twitched again, and even his feet twitched, before the pounding on his chest kept his heart going.

God he was in so much pain.

listen_bud April 26 2010, 06:00:24 UTC

Peter just stood up, wiped his mouth, and spat to the side, shuddering hard. Then he pulled a hair out of his mouth and fought his incredible urge to vomit.

"Careful," he warned. "His mustache tickles."

God, that sounded so gay.

hulkkeysmash April 26 2010, 06:11:08 UTC

Bruce kneels at Tony's head, holding his chin lifted and airway clear. His shaking fingers feel for his pulse and it's there, hard but still irregular. Pulse, but no breathing. Repositioning himself at his side, he starts in on filling his lungs.

Later, he's going to be annoyed that this is the most contact he's had with anyone since Betty was Ported out.

liverletdie April 26 2010, 06:21:10 UTC

Tony Stark wants to die right now.

He has hulk blood in in his heart, he was just given CPR by Spider-Man, and now the Hulk.

If this wasn't going to keep him alive, he would be a very upset man right now.

Instead he just kept staring through open eyes in horror.

listen_bud April 26 2010, 06:32:25 UTC

Peter went back to trade places, cursing the world because it was "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT RESPONSIBILITY," not "WITH GREAT POWER COMES GREAT HOMOSEXUALITY."

When he leaned down he did a short double take and moved back.

"Is he crying?"

"He can't blink. His tear ducts are probably compensating for the lack of moisture," Bruce responded.

Peter paused. "I dunno, dude."

hulkkeysmash April 26 2010, 06:42:43 UTC

"Don't be ridiculous," Bruce says, shaking his head and taking another deep breath. Thankfully, this is nothing like kissing. Not really. This doesn't count. What he's doing right now is saving Stark's life. "two...three...---switch and reassess him, will you?"

liverletdie April 26 2010, 06:48:50 UTC

Before Bruce could finish his last press, Tony's entire body twitched, his blood starting to move for real again, and he took an agonizing breath.

It burned for a few moments, before his nanites were moving again.

"Don't get any closer," he managed to mumble, trying to move. Oh, wasn't he naked? Gold metal leaked from the ports on his skin, and he shook his head, weakly trying to stand.

listen_bud April 26 2010, 06:56:07 UTC

He didn't even try to help Tony up, what with him leaking gold everywhere. Instead he just turned away from the two of them and tossed his hands in the air.

"Wow this is just getting grosser and grosser by the second."
