It takes two earnest attempts from Peter before he's able to push his torso up off the ground. Peter's face is a bloodied mess; three of his front teeth have shattered outright, and when he begins to cough to clear his throat of blood, he feels another two teeth shift effortlessly from within their sockets.
He can feel his body mending itself, but it's not mending fast enough. Thor's in trouble -- Annie's in trouble -- Quill's in trouble, and he needs to help them, but he can't unless he can get off the ground. It's as if every cell in his body is so fixated on mending the broken bones and pierced skin that they can't respond to the simple commands like focus and move and speak.
Somehow, though, Peter forces his body to respond to him, and he pushes his torso up off the ground. "Annie," he manages. "Everything -- Everything --"
But before Peter can assure her that things are going to be okay, Peter's gaze is attracted to sudden movement in the sky and down to the earth below.
"Mr...." he begins, and it takes another considerable effort for him to push through the next syllable forward. "...Stark."
Peter was sure now that everything was going to be okay.
