RIP Lucifer Stark

The video opens to Peter sitting on the couch. Tony is on his right, a comforting arm around his shoulder. Harley's on his left, a hand on his arm. Peter's eyes are red; he's obviously been crying. 

"Hello, Ironfam," he says softly, his voice croaky. He gives a weak, watery smile. "I don't… I don't really want to be filming right now, but I thought you guys should have a right to know what's going on."

Nobody's changed positions. 

"So, I was at school today," Peter says slowly, his eyes still red and filled with tears. "And… god, Ned and MJ don't even know this yet. Um, I got home from school, and… and Luci was gone, nobody could find him anywhere." Fresh tears begin to leak from Peter's eyes. "And… and the whole team was out looking for him, and as soon as I got home, Dad, Harley and I went out with them, and…" 

Peter breaks down into sobs.

Peter is now crying silently into Tony's shoulder. Tony now has both arms wrapped around Peter. Harley looks to be on the verge of tears, as well, but is trying to comfort Peter. 

"So, Lucifer had gotten out," Tony continues what Peter was saying. "And… and we still don't know how it happened, we're gonna look through Friday's footage later. But he got out, and we were all out looking for him. It was Natasha who eventually found him… he'd run out into the street, and he'd… he'd gotten hit." 

Peter starts crying harder, and Harley's tears start slipping out.

Harley's gone. Peter is still crying, but he's sat up and looking into the camera. 

"I just… I don't even know what to say," Peter says quietly, hiccuping on sobs occasionally. "He… he was barely six months old. He was just a baby. He didn't know any better. And now he's…" 

Peter buries his face in his hands.

Lady and Chloe are both cradled in Peter's arms now. 

"He was a really good dog," Peter whispers. "And I… I loved him a lot. And Lady and Chloe loved him. And it's just… I only had him for three and a half months, but he was part of this family. And I don't know what to do now that he's just… gone."

The elevator dings, and Ned and MJ hurry into the frame. MJ immediately sits next to Peter on the couch. He turns to face her, and she wraps her arms around him. His face drops into her shoulder, and his shoulders start shaking again, revealing he's crying. MJ rubs her hands up and down his back, trying to comfort him. 

"I'm so sorry," she whispers repeatedly.

Peter is in a suit. His eyes are still red, but less so. 

"Alright," he says, his voice more even than it has been. "We just held a funeral for Luci. I didn't want to film it, because that just felt… disrespectful, I guess? And I'm just… I'm just really glad that everyone on the team came with me, and that nobody, like, thought it was stupid or anything, having a whole funeral for a dog." 

"Of course it's not stupid," Natasha says from behind him. "He was a part of this family, so he will be treated as such, even if he's not here anymore."

"I don't want this video to be very long," Peter says slowly. "It's just… it's just really depressing. So, I'm sorry that two weeks in a row had such short videos, but I wanted to make sure I got stuff up, since I keep missing weeks, and I want to make sure you guys know what's going on, and that I'm not only showing you the pretty, fluffy stuff. So… yeah. That's it for this one. See you guys next week, I guess. Bye."
