маленький паук
Peter’s breath was heavy. He didn’t remember falling asleep, nor did he remember being in the tower. His mind was foggy and he didn’t know what had happened. Peter’s memories slowly but surely came back to him. He realized that he needed to get out of the room. Strange had told him that he couldn’t interact with the people that he had known, but he managed to fail that one command. Peter was so lost in his thoughts that he didn’t notice Tony and Pepper walking into the room.
“Pete, bambino? How are you feeling?” Tony asked, his softening at the sight of his kid. Pepper didn’t look much different from her husband. The only difference was that she was fidgeting with her wedding ring.
“Better, I guess.” Peter mumbled, his head facing his lap to avoid looking at the 2 adults.
“Can I come closer? Oh bud, we’ve missed you.” Peter wanted to hug his mentor, but he knew that this Tony wasn’t his. He tried to ignore the warmth in his chest from the nicknames. There was a lot going through Peter’s head that he would have to deal with, but for right now he could enjoy being around people who knew who he was.
“I know that this is going to interrupt this sweet moment, but we need to talk about what happened. Peter, sweetie, can you explain what’s going on?” Pepper cut in. Peter knew this would happen, but that didn’t mean he didn’t dread the moment the topic came up.
“Um, I guess I’ll start at the beginning. First of all, I’m from a universe where Mr. Stark snapped during the second fight with Thanos. I guess the story starts a year after that battle, Quentin Beck or Mysterio had convinced me that he was trying to help me. But when me and him went to London he turned against me and kept trying to kill me. He told everyone what my secret identity was and lied saying that I was trying to kill him. Which caused everyone to go after me and May. And out of pure desperation I went to Dr. Strange due to MJ and Ned not being able to go to MIT because of me. And- and-”
“Woah breathe sweetie.” Pepper said from beside Peter. He didn’t even realize that she had moved from the entrance of the room. Peter listened to her and took a minute to calm down before he started again.
“When I asked Dr. Strange for help he casted a spell that would make everyone forget that I was Spiderman, but I ended up asking for too many changes and the spell broke. After he contained the spell, me and him fought over it because me changing the spell caused everyone who knew Peter Parker in any universe to come to my universe. A lot happened including Strange trying to send people to their universes where they would die and Aunt May being killed by one of the people that Strange wanted to send back. It all ended with me telling Strange to cast a spell to make everyone forget that I ever existed.“
“What?” Peter could hear the anger in his mentor’s voice. Tony looked over to his kid and the look of fear plastered across Peter’s face didn’t fail to escape him. Tony’s eyes softened as he reassured Peter that it wasn’t him who Tony was mad at. Peter looked down at his hands in his lap and continued,
“5 years after everyone forgot who I was, Strange came looking for me. He told me that I was causing the universe to break and that I needed to be sent to another universe that didn’t have a Peter. So, I got sent here and you know the rest.” Now that pissed Tony off even more. How dare the wizard tell his kid that he was the cause of the universe falling apart. Tony moved himself as close to Peter as he could and pulled the teen into a tight hug.
“I swear that if I ever meet that version of Strange I am going to make him wish he was never alive.” The face that Peter made at this comment almost made Tony laugh.
“Um… Would it be okay if I let the other Avengers into the room?” The poor nurse asked. Peter could hear the chaos outside as he nodded. He had been unknowingly blocking out the sounds from outside the room while he was talking with his sudo-parents. He didn’t know what his relationships with them were like in this universe, but from what he could gather from his interactions with Pepper and Tony this version of him was close with the team. Maybe even closer than in his universe. Once the large group of people entered the room, Peter was hit with a strong sense of familiarity. Steve, Natasha, Bruce, Wanda, Rhodey, Clint, Vision, and Sam all entered the room in panicked motions. Peter did find it funny that they were fighting over who got to enter first. Natasha looked over to Tony and asked,
“Is it really him? Is he our маленький паук?” Tony nodded, causing the typically stone faced assassin to run and hug the brown haired teen. She started to mumble in Russian about how much she missed him. The rest of the team was shocked at the actions of the spy. Peter was happy to see his мама паук alive again. He buried his head in the side of her neck.
