In the middle of the ocean of pain he found himself in, Peter suddenly felt a life ring. He felt her grab his arm tightly, but though it would likely have registrered as mild pain normally, right now it was felt as pain just as much as pricking your finger would be, when you're getting disembowelled with a ruste table knife.
Instead, he almost instinctively reciprocated and wrapped his arms around her holding her tightly against him.
In this moment, it felt like he was clinging on for dear life, and all there was in the universe was himself, the agony coursing through his body and seemingly setting every nerve fiber in his system on fire....and then her. The lifeline. His one beacon of comfort and safety right now.
"Please don't let go", he managed to squeeze out through his gritted teeth.
