A New Hope

It wasn't supposed to end like this. Peter should have been on a field trip, having fun with Ned and preparing a route for his afternoon patrol.Peter shouldn't be standing on an alien world, he shouldn't be watching the people around him turn to dust, Mr Stark shouldn't have a stab wound, and Peter himself, well, he definitely shouldn't be slowly dying, his entire existence ripping apart like the others around him. Dying hurt, Mr Stark's look of horror hurt even worse."I'm sorry." It was empty, it was no consolation, but Peter chose to come here, he involved himself, and he couldn't die letting Mr Stark think it was his fault.If there's something else Peter also shouldn't be doing, it's waking up in an entirely different universe, alive and whole and more than he remembered and more than he ever should have been.
