back into the past
Spider-Man flew over and caught captain’s shield and dramatically landed on the van. The rouge avengers were shocked that Tony brought the spider kid. Just then Peter felt a wave of sensory overload, his spider sense going off the charts. “ M-Mr stark, I-I DoNt FeEl So GoOd” Peter managed to say. He clutched his head and whimpered in pain.
“ underoos? What’s happening?” Mr Stark asked, concerned.
“ Tony, what did you do?” Came a stern voice of Captain America.
“ I didn’t do anything!” Tony defended himself as he slowly approached the arachnid. “ Karen, what’s going on?” Tony asked, which confused the avengers.
“ my scan suggests that this is not Peter mentally. But his DNA matches. I can’t identify what is wrong with Peter.” Karen’s robotic voice rang through. Now the avengers are very confused.
Peter dropped to the ground, his breaths evening. He slowly stood up. Tony took a few steps back as Peter looked around fanatically. “ D-Dad?” He finally said. “ um…underoos ? Are you oaky??” Tony asked Confused about what happened. “ where am I?” He said as he shifted his gaze to the rouge avengers. His eyes widened further when he spotted Natasha. “ Auntie Nat?” He breathed out. “ What?” Natasha asked, looking more confused.
“ underoos did you hit your head or something?” Tony asked.
Peter looked around, taking in his surroundings.
“ nononono that’s impossible! You’re not Mr Stark! You can’t be!” Peter said, backing away “and why is that?” Steve asked as he stepped closer.
“ because he’s dead. You can’t mess with me anymore Quentin Beck! You can’t trick me with your illusions anymore!” Peter screamed as he started to web you Tony. “ How dare you impersonated my dad! How Low are you?!” He yelled as tears threatened to fall. He webbed Tony to the wall and proceeded to fight Steve and Bucky. “ How dare you impersonate my uncles!” He yelled as he caught Bucky’s metal arm and threw him to a wall and webbed him from moving. He then punched Steve in the face. As Steve doubled over in pain, Peter took that opportunity to punch him in the gut, to which Steve fell back. He then webbed him as well. Now he looked over to see Natasha and Clint. Peter danced through the air as Clint shot arrows at him. He skill-fully dodged the arrows. He landed perfectly on this toes like a ballerina. He quickly webbed up Clint to the wall and he proceeded to fight Natasha in a hand-to-hand combat. Everyone knew that no one wins against Natasha in a hand-to-hand combat. But Peter later had a guest. The falcon decided to fly by. So Peter was now fighting both the Black widow and the falcon. He put webbing in redwing, making it malfunction. He also put webbing on the Falcon’s wings, which unable him to fly. Knowing full well that he is now nothing without the suit, he quickly webbed him up. Now he has to focus on Natasha. He used his taser webs to knock her down and he used the extra sticky webs to put her hands and legs together.
“ Tony, why did you brought Spider-Man here?! He’s clearly unstable!”
“ He is not unstable. He just beat your asses. But he is not in the right state of mind. Underoos, I need you to calm down……..and get me out of this web.” Tony said.
“ nice try Beck! But you’ve lost. Now where is EDITH? How did you get it anyway?” Spider-Man said, advancing towards Tony.
“ boss, my analysis shows that this Peter is from the future.” Karen said.
Now all the avengers are interested. A Spider-Man from the future? That they’ve got to see.
“ look kid, I’m not this… Beck, but I think I can help you if you’re from the future.” Tony tried but Peter was not having it.
“ … then tell me something only you would know.” Peter asked hesitantly.
“Um,,,with great power comes with great responsibilities.” Tony said, sincerely.
“ it really is you!” Peter cried and removed Tony from his webbing. He then gave a bone crushing hug ( literally he could..) “ it’s really you…dad.” Peter mumbled into Tony’s shirt.
“ what?” Tony asked. Surely he could not be his dad… right? He thought.
But his thoughts were interrupted by a Steve.
“ so… your from the future? Why are you here anyway?”
This caused the spider to frown, his memories flooding in.
“ Roos, it’s okay, look at me, tell me are you hurt?” Tony asked concerned.
“ n-no … I think” came his reply.
“ Karen, scan for injuries!” Tony asked.
“ scan complete. I detect no injuries boss.” Karen said.
“ thank god.” Tony breathed.
Everyone was stunned with the affection Tony showed to the vigilante.
“ so where was I to stop you from traveling into time and drastically change the future? Hm?” Tony asked.
This caused the young hero to tear up and he went on full sobbing.
“ Jesus kid! “ Tony said as he held on to his the kid. It broke everyone’s heart when spidey was crying.
But what no one expect was for him to rip off his mask and curl into Tony’s shit.
“ it’s okay underoos, I’m here.” Tony said as he cradled him, his fingers combing though his kid’s hair. Yes. His kid.
The avengers wanted to comment on how young he was, but decided against it when Tony gave the don’t-you-dare-do-something-you-will-regret-later-on look. Even Natasha was scared to interrupt the moment.
After a few sniffs, Peter managed to calm down.
“ l-lm sorry for-“ Peter started, but as interrupted by one Tony. “ kid, listen, by the looks of it, my name could be `I’m sorry’ by how frequently you use it.” This caused Peter to chock up a strangled laugh. Peter peeled himself from Tony and faced the avengers. He swept the scene for his aunt. His eyes went watery again as he saw Natasha. He ran over and hugged her. This caused the assassin to be taken aback.
She awkwardly patted his back to comfort him. “ so…. What happens in the future kid?” Tony asked as he walked towards the spiders. Peter let go of the assassin and turned to everyone.
To say, even all of Cap’s team have surrounded the young Arachnid to hear what he has to say.
“ um… so… the future is not really the best per say, so,,, I might have sorta build a time machine. B-but it’s only because-“ Peter started but was interrupted,
“ wait wait wait, you built a time machine?!” Tony asked bewildered.
“ well…. Not really.. you see, you built a time machine, and I just improvised it.”
“ I built a time machine?” Tony asked intrigued.
“ yes. So there was this purple grape Alien and he wanted the infinity stones, stones that are really powerful and if you combine them, you could make a wish I guess? Anyway, he came to earth, looking for the stones.” Peter sniffed.
“ a-and then Bruce was teleported to Stephen’s house a-and -“
“ wait- hold up who is Stephen?” Tony asked.
“ oh- he’s the master of the mystic arts.” Peter replied.
“ the Master of Arts? Like an artist?” Steve asked.
“ *sigh* he’s a wizard , not an artist.” Peter deadpanned.
“ so earth has wizards now?”
“ yes, dad.” Peter replied
Now everyone was really stunned.
“ what? Why is everyone looking at me like that?” Peter asked
“ you just called Tony ‘dad’ “ Clint said.
Realisation dawned on Peter. Oh shoot.
“ um.. no I did not said that.” Peter replied quickly, maybe a little too quickly.
“ really? Cause I heard ‘dad’ too” Nat said as she stepped closer to the arachnid.
“ yeah…. are you Tony’s son?” Steve asked
“ well… no, not now at least.” Peter replied.
“ what do you mean not now?”
“ well, Tony adopted me in the future before Thanos, but since I traveled through time…” Peter trailed off,
“ wow. Makes sense. I mean you are like a son to me.” Tony said as he smiled towards Peter, to which the latter returned.
“ who’s Thanos?” Natasha asked curiously.
“ well… he is a stupid dumb purple wrinkled grape. That excuse of a alien, wanted to collect stones to snap half the population of the universe… something about ‘ balance’ and that dumb shit actually succeeded a-and I-I died on this planet Titan? With others. But Mr Stark created a time machine with the help of Scott here for the technology, and you all went to collect the magic rocks. N-Nat and Clint h-had to take the soul stone… but in order to take it, Nat scarified herself… a-and after we got the stones… Thanos somehow found out about it and there was this huge fight with his army.. a-and Mr ‘ I am Ironman’ here s-snapped the army away and basically brought back everyone… b-but h-he died doing it. H-he died in my arms a-and I-I couldn’t do anything about it… * sniff* so… I tried….I tried to bring you back… and here we are.” Peter said giving them a watery smile.
“ oh my god roos” Tony said as he pulled Peter into a hug.
“ heh.. told you the future isn’t the best.” He managed a small smile.
“ but who’s Beck?”
“ oh” Peter said in a small voice.
“ well, after you… died…. You passed me EDITH, a glasses you made. You said you trusted me to be the next Tony Stark… a-and I just couldn’t live up to you… when Beck came, I trusted him, heck! Everyone trusted him… I thought i didn’t deserve to be the next you and that I’m not worthy of EDITH. I-I gave Beck EDITH, but turned out he just wanted to use me to get EDITH. H-He used drones to manipulate everyone thinking he’s a hero. I fought h-him but he revealed that I was Spider-Man to everyone…” Peter said, his voice cracking at the end.
“ o-oh my god ! H-how old are you?” Clint asked.
“ 15.” Peter said.
Clint looked wide eyed at that.
“ a-and then what happened?” Scott asked, who’s full on crying now.
!!!SPOILER FOR NO WAY HOME!!!!
“ a-and then everyone started accusing me of Beck’s death a-and my friends… t-they couldn’t get into any college because they were friends with me. So… I asked Stephen to cast a spell to forget who Spider-Man is…and… let’s say that the spell did not go well… and um.. I kinda broke the multiverse. Spider-Man Villains came from all over the multiverse. Stephen said that they all die fighting Spider-Man. So I tried to capture them so we can bring them back to their timeline. One of them had this metal octopus legs from his back, another one made of sand, and another is freaky electric, a talking lizard a-and the goblin. T-they are all people and Spider-Man would never kill anyone… so I wanted to help them. But Stephen was scared of breaking the timelines… so we um kinda had a fight… and let’s just say… he ended up getting stuck in the grand Canon for like 12 hours thanks to my webbing. I tried to fix them. I tried… but It wasn’t good enough… I wasn’t enough… M-May… the goblin, h-he killed her… but she would have wanted me to continue to help them… so that’s what I did, with the help of Ned, MJ and peters from their world we made a cure.. fought them, healed them… and then Stephen came from a portal, started lecturing us like a dad… and… well, there was no other way. The spell had to be completed a-and everyone would forget me, everything would be back to normal. It was the only way. Stephen casted the spell… and I don’t know… I was lonely a-and I tried to build a time machine I guess?”
Peter rambled.
-SAFE TO READ NOW-
Everyone was looking wide-eyed at the teenager.
There was a moment of silence before Tony engulfed Peter in a much needed hug. Eventually, the avengers joined in too.
At least Peter has a second chance to start over with his family.
