What Matters Most

Infinity War and Endgame never happened, Civil War happened but they talked it out like adults. Far From Home happened so, spoilers.
Trigger Warning: Suicidal thoughts

"Spiderman's name... Spiderman's name is Pet-... Spiderman's name is Peter Parker!"

This event occured about 5 months ago and everything Peter has done to gain superhero status, has gone to waste. There were warrants out for his arrest, a huge reward hanging over his head, constant death threats to him AND his aunt, it got to a point where he was about ready to give up. About 4 months ago, he did.

Spiderman hasn't been spotted for 4 months. Peter Parker hasn't been seen by anyone except the Avengers, May, Ned and Mj for 4 months.

Peter Parker hasn't been seen by anyone except the Avengers and May for 3 months.

Peter Parker hasn't been seen by anyone except the Avengers for 2 months.

Peter Parker hasn't been seen by anyone for 1 month.

Present Day - Decathlon Practice

No body spoke.

That was what happened after it was revealed. First panic, then silence. Panic for their hero, their teammate, and their friend. To silence because no body knew the answer to this question.

"What now?" For New York, for them, for him.

Mj is not one to give up, so she takes a chance.

Hands slammed down on the table and all heads swiveled to their captain. She was up and was not about to back down from a chance to save their friend.

"We know, from May, that Peter has been M.I.A. completely for the past month. We have to do something about it. And what if we can?" Whispers spread like wildfire through the teens, "Every single one of us was on that trip and everyone of us has phones. How many if you took a video of those 'monsters'?" Everyone raised their hand, "Exactly, there has to be something we missed, some proof that Mysterio is the one responsible and we have EDITH. There has to be something." Silence, "Come on! We owe it to Peter, he has saved everyone of us, getting himself seriously hurt in the process. Some of you he has just saved out on patrol. Come on. We know the real story, we know what happened, and we know that with or without the mask, he would never do such a thing." They were all scared. What would happen to them if they helped? Her next words shocked them. "Please, I, Michelle Jones, am begging, help me save Peter."

"She's right." Mj was shocked to see Flash up and talking, "Me and Peter never got along. I was mean to him and he still saved me. Even if, years from now, he was charged with murder, I would straight up laugh. He has too big of a heart to hurt anyone, even the worst of criminals. She's right. Its our turn to help him. Count me in."

"Me too." Ned.

"Im in." It continued until everyone was standing, even Brad and the Teachers.

"So, how do we do this? I can't analyze the footage properly with the school tech or mine, it would overwork my system and fail and we don't know where Peter is." Ned said.

"We go to May. She can get us in contact with Tony and the Avengers so hopeful they can help with the search if they aren't already looking." Mj replied.

"Tony as in Tony Stark?" Someone asked.

"He told you he interned there." Ned said.

"Didn't think he was telling the truth." Flash mumbled.

"Who should ask her?" Someone asked.

"I'll ask but I think we all should go, to show her that we all want to help," Mj said, no body disagreed, "Then it's settled. We go now."

The Parker's Apartment

May was terrified when she heard the knock on the door. Sure this wouldn't have been the first threat, but Peter had been there and she knew he would protect her. But he's not here.

It was the first knock on their door since he's been gone, so when she, very cautiously, looked through the peek hole and saw Mj, May almost fell to the floor with relief.

"May, are you okay?" She said when May opened the door.

"I'm okay, you just scared me a little. Shouldn't you be at decathlon practice?"

"I should, but first, we need to ask you a favor."

"We?" The rest of the team stepped into view.

"What are you all doing here?" May said, shocked.

"We know we should have done this sooner, but we want to help our friend. You know that all of us know the truth and if you could get us to Tony and the others, its very possible we can stop this madness and bring him home." Mj answered.

"With the video footage from our phones and Mysterio's reveal, we are sure that his evil crew has to have screwed up somewhere. Also, you and Tony know him best, you guys may have some pretty good guesses as to where he is." Ned said.

May was silent.

"You dont-" Mj started. May snatched her keys off of the table and headed out of the door, beckoning them to follow.

"Lets go bring him home." She said grinning with tears of joy in her eyes.

Avengers Compound - Tony's lab

It was all hands on deck.

Usually there where people bustling around trying desperately to locate Peter. Most of these people only knew him as Tony's intern and have grown attached, just as all of the Avengers have as well. 

But, now it was late at night and the only people in the lab are the Avengers and the not-official-but-totally-official-Avengers, Bucky and Loki. At this point, they were all just trying to stay awake.

"Sir, there appears to be a large group of people gathered at the front of the building." Friday said abruptly, making the billionaire fall out of his chair.

"Tell them to go away." Tony mumbled, slowly getting up.

"May Parker is among them. I also recognize Michelle Jones and Ned Leeds. Should I tell them to go away?"

The heros stood up quickly, all of them yelling to let them in.

Everyone was lead to the common room and the heros left the lab, for some, it was the first time in days.

"Did you guys find him?" Tony asked hesitantly, not wanting to get his hopes up.

"No, but the genius's behind me may have a way to fix this." Mays said gesturing to the group standing next to her.

"You all are his team mates and friends right?" Natasha asked.

"That's us." Mj answered.

"Well then, decathlon team, what do you have in mind?" This time it was Bucky asking. You could hear the desperation in his voice to find his little brother.

"Agreed. What do you have in mind that we already haven't tried?" Loki said more harsh than he wanted.

"We have video's that you don't." Flash says before anyone.

"I know you," Tony sneers at Flash, "You bully Peter." The avengers immediately got defensive.

"I did. I'm not denying it, " He looks to the floor, "My home life sucks. It sucks and I took it out on him. I saw him as weak. But he was strong because he took it and didn't fight back when he could of. I already feel awful and I owe him. I owe him a lot. So I'm here helping."

"Fine, you stay." Tony says.

"And we have these." Ned holds up the smart glasses. Tony smiles

"Well then. Let's get Peter."

Abandoned Train Station

Peter was starving. He was starving and cold. He only had jeans, a t shirt, and sweatshirt on, with his suit in his backpack. It was the middle of November and Peter honestly didn't think he would make it this long.

"God! What's the point!" He yelled with tears streaming down his face, he had woken up from trying to sleep from hunger cramps,

"Why am I doing this" He says barely over a whisper.

He tried to fall asleep and he was successful. Though, little Peter Parker was starting to think that maybe not waking up would be better than this.

He woke up. He was in a white... place. No right way to describe it. It was a room but it was endless. Peter was getting nervous.

"Peter, honey!" He heard a feminine voice call. Peter turned around and saw two faces he thought he would never see again.

"Mom? Dad?" He asked hesitantly. Peter saw their nods and quickly embraced them in a bone crushing hug.

"What am I? Chopped liver?"

Peter turned and saw his Uncle Ben.

"Uncle Ben!" He hugs his uncle too.

"What are you doing here?" Peter asks.

"The real question is what are you doing here?" His dad asked.

"I don't even know where here is."

"Its an in between. Not fully afterlife but you are not alive either." His mom said.

"I'm dead?" He asks.

"Not yet, you have a choice. Your parents and I have been watching over you and we are so proud. We have seen you grow into the brave, young man you are. And we know about the troubles you are facing." Ben says.

"And we know about what you think before you sleep." His mother said sadly.

"I tried. I really did. I thought the whole thing would blow over after a little, but its still going because they know I'm not dead! I thought the Avengers would find a way, but they haven't. And I don't know if I can do it anymore." He finishes with tears flowing down his face.

"We know, my son. We know. And now you have a choice. You can come with us or you can leave. Though, there will be people you leave behind if you choose us." His dad said.

"You are a hero, Peter. You save lives. You go through pain on a daily basis, but you ask if everyone is okay before you. And you're only fifteen. Not many can do that." Peters mom adds.

"We aren't saying we don't want you with us, Pete. We are saying that the cities need for Spider man and Peter Parker far surpasses our need for you. People look up to you. They need you. And they will kick themselves as soon as they realize it." Ben says.

"Its your choice. I love you Peter. No matter what." His mom says.

"What do you choose?" His dad asks.

Peters vision starts to blur as he hears the 'I love you's from his family.

He woke up with a new determination to survive. But this time, not for New York. But for himself.

"I'm a hero. And I will live."

With that he dawns his suit once more and sneaking through the shadows, heads to the Tower.

Peter missed the thrill of swinging from building to building and he was able to remain unseen, easily. Though, the hardest part will be cutting through Central Park. But he was ready to go home.

He was on top of another building about to swing off when he heard an awful static noise. All of the billboards were static and the people were freaking out.

"Hello, New York! Long time, no see. It is I, Tony Stark!" Tony was on an empty but big stage and you could see his face clearly. He hasn't been in the public eye for a little bit and Peter had no clue what was happening.

"I would like to introduce some companions of mine. These are the Avengers, Bucky and Loki," He gestures to his right and they step onto the stage, "And these people are genius teenagers from Midtown Tech." He gesture to his left and his decathlon team steps on. Peter almost fall of due to surprise. They all looked exhausted, anxious, and excited.

"My name is Michelle Jones and I am Captain of our academic decathlon team. Midtown Tech probably rings a bell because Peter Parker went there." Her voice was loud and strong when she stepped to the mic. Gasps were heard by Peter from almost everyone below him.

"Peter Parker was and is one of my best friends. He is the smartest, sweetest, and most selfless person I have ever met. And these accusations are barbaric. You are probably asking yourself, 'What do we know? We're just kids.' Well these kids were with him during the attacks. We saw everything that happened. And I was there when Peter found out that 'Mysterio' was a fraud. And we have proof." She finishes and steps back from the mic. A normal person would think she was fine, but Peter knew her better than that, she was terrified.

"Peter Parker. Where do I even start? I first recruited him for me and caps little fall out. He talked non stop, but he got the job done. The people closest to me know one thing, and that is that I second guess everything I do. I never once second guessed him. If you trust my judgement, then you trust him. He then became my intern because of how insanely smart he is. So smart he can hide from some of the best tech on the planet. Completely off the grid. I think of him as a son, and I will do anything and everything to protect him. So when these kids told me there was a chance to help save him, I took it." Tony says confidently.

Peter was speechless. He jumped to a lower building to get a better view. While Tony, Ned and Mj were setting up something, others came up to speak.

"I was a jerk to Parker. I took all of my anger out on him. It went on for years, before and after Spiderman. He never once fought back and everyone at school can agree. Not once. He doesn't deserve any of this." Flash said.

"I was in a rough place when the kid started coming around. I had gotten out of Hydras control but everything was still new. I didn't want to be around him because, as a teenager, everything he did was foreign. He took the time out of his day to help me learn more and he became a brother to me. Peter would never cause anything like this." Bucky said. Peter was close to tears. He could hear whispers through the crowd.

"Is it true?"

"Are they lying?"

"Was Mysterio lying?"

Holy crap. They were believing them.

"I knew as soon as I met him that Peter Parker is something special. I gave him these," Tony held up EDITH, "AI glasses. They recorded everything. Along with these young men and women's videos of the trip as well, we think you will find the evidence compelling."

Videos played of the trip, played of the monsters, played of Mysterio's betrayal in the bar. And this video played.

The glasses were on Beck. They saw what Peter saw with the illusions. They saw him get hit by that train. Everyone grimaced at the last part.

Then the bridge scene. Beck had gotten shot by the drones he told to fire. The entire truth was coming out. Especially what was said.

"You can't trick me anymore."

"EDITH, execute the drones."

They crowd was in tears as they realize what they had done.

They went after the person who saved Europe. Who saved them.

Peter was sobbing. His friends, his family, had saved him. The screen shut off with a closing statement from Tony,

"Think, really think. Who do you trust more? A man in a fish bowl who you just met or a hero, who has saved you for months on end and never failing."

"Its Spiderman!" A kid yelled and pointed at him. Peter panicked.

"Its Peter Parker!" Another yelled.

He almost swung away, but he heard,

"IM SORRY!"

"WE SHOULD HAVE LISTENED!"

"CAN YOU FORGIVE US?"

Apologizes were flying from everywhere and when he swung away he heard apologizes from people who came onto their balconies and roofs.

Peter landed on the Tower and asked Friday to let him in.

He saw both of his teams in the common room.

"Hi." He said. Everyone turned around.

"Peter!" And he was bombarded with hugs.

"Missed you loser." Mj said.

"I saw." Peter teased. She punched his arm then hugged him.

"I ship it." Clint said.

"If you ever do that again you are grounded for life!" May yelled as she cried into his shoulder.

"I larb you May."

"Larb you too."

"Man you scared me! Good to have you back, bro." Ned said while hugging him.

"Thanks. Good to be back." Peter responded.

"I'm so sorry dude." Flash said.

"All is forgiven. Especially sense you had the guts to admit and apologize on the big screen."

"I missed you, bambino. And I meant what I said about you being my son." Tony said while hugging him.

"I missed you too. I'm so sorry."

"Don't be sorry. You're back now and that is all that matters."

It was all that mattered. Teams had their teammate back, friends had their friend back and families were whole again.

That was all that mattered.
