Chapter 17: Last Wish
"And Thanos, I'm not just a bug my name is Peter Parker, AKA Spiderman, AKA Underoos!" Peter snapped his fingers.
Peter snapped his fingers.
'He actually did it.' Tony and Thanos thought at the same time.
Every enemy disappeared into dust and Shuri spoke "Another one bites the dust." as one had gone from her face.
Everybody started cheering for their win, talking and hugging one another. All happy on either side yet... A group of people fell to the ground. Fell to the pits of despair as Spiderman. Who in their dream fought with them. Because Thanos had put them in a comma because they fought the infinity stone. Because they thought they were fighting Thanos in their dream. But all was a lie. Because the battle they won. Was an actual loss. Because...
Peter was in pain.
Peter was screaming in pain.
Once the kid had stopped screaming he fell to the ground and held on a piece if rubble. He sat on the ground. Karen was speaking to him. Trying to keep him alive but he just took out the mask to breath. But he knew. He knew this was the sacrifice he had.
Death wasn't... Scary. It was kind of peaceful in a way. Because Peter knew that he sacrificed himself to save billions, trillion, of people. But it made him also regret that he hasn't admitted to MJ the he likes her, he hasn't met the Avengers in a nice manner, he hasn't even gone to Disney Land. But then again. He did it.
A tear fell from his face. Just one tear was enough for the last time.
And he felt Tony. Tony wiped the tear in his face. Tony wiped the sadness away. Yet it bothered Peter why the man was crying.
"You better live for me Parker. You haven't met our family, you haven't met you little sister. So don't die or so help me." Peter would have chuckled when his pure force was being taken away from him. And his spidey sense knowing it. Didn't make it as good as he wants.
"Tony..." Peppers voice spoke out. "No Pep, he hasn't met Morgan yet! He hasn't graduated! He... He hasn't..." Tony was crying.
He hugged Pepper like his life depended on it.
"Daddy! Mommy!" Tonys head whipped over and saw Morgan, Happy was running over. It made Tony panic but when guards surrounded her pathway, he felt relaxed.
"Sir, Peter Parker..." that was when he froze.
His face plate opened and saw Peter smiling. "Daddy? What's happening to him?" Morgan asked.
"Is he my brother?" Tony couldn't answer his daughter. "Is he?" the little girl asked. "But... But why is he?" Pepper took Morgan away.
Morgan.
The kid felt connected to Peter already.
Morgan was crying. Her brother was back! But she couldn't meet him in person. Because... He was gone... She couldn't use the word died. It was too... Painful.
Because she knows as a kid. She isn't like other kids. She knows what death is.
And that was the most painful thing.
"Big brother! Big Brother!" Morgan kicked her way out of Peppers grasp and hugged her brother.
"Daddy promised me we'd be able to meet. Daddy promised me you'd tell me... You'd tell me bed time stories! Big brother... I want to make more memories with you!" Morgan shouted.
Tony hugged her daughter.
"Hey there... Don't cry... It doesn't suit your beautiful face." Peter spoke
Tony was filled with hope "Hey dad, I... I don't have much time left. My healing just granted me this one last moment..." Peter spoke "Hey, hey, Morgan, don't cry. Big brother needs to rest now."
Morgan hugged the kid. "But you won't be coming back!"
Peter's heart broke. This little girl knew the meaning of death... In such a young age. Just like him.
"But I'll always be here," Peter tried pointing at her heart and did it successfully, "So can you read me a bed time story?" Peter knew he was dying.
Tony looked at the two as Morgan started talking about her toys and how she loved him and the stories of him read by Tony.
By the end of the story, Morgan looked at Peter and spoke "You can rest now big brother..." Peter smiled as he closed his eyes.
"PETER!!!!"
-
The funeral was quiet. Superheroes flooded the house of Tony. All of them respected the superhero.
May was taking it the hardest.
Living with Peter surely did a number on her.
When Ben died she had Peter. And now that Peter died... She had no one.
Peter was her son. She loved him as one. She treated him as one.
Pepper comforted May, she knew Peter was close to May. And she herself fell in love with Peter and treated him like a son as well.
The two women was sharing stories if him as they went inside.
Morgan sat near the river, her feet inside the water as she looked at the mask on the plate, floating on the water. Peter, her big brother, was gone.
She couldn't meet him again.
Morgan stood up, "Big brother wouldn't like me to be sad... And even if I met him just a minute... He'd want me to be happy because that must what big brothers want heir little sister be.

Tony was standing at a podium in New York.
Looking at the people and students of Peters school, he spoke with a shaky breath. "We lost two important superheroes. This battle we might won, but for the people who knew them too well... Knows that we lost. We have lost Natasha Romanoff and Spiderman."
Tony bit back a sob.
People had tears flowing down when a commemoration of Natasha showed up.
But what hurts the most was hearing the voice once again.
"Hey Mr. Stark! And everyone who's watching this!" Peter's voice had reached out.
The people in mid town was now voicing their pain. The little scrawny kid, nerd was gone.
MJ and Ned froze. "Peter!" Ned shouted MJ covered her mouth to stop her from screaming. "Tell me this isn't true Stark. Tell me this isn't..." but when May hugged her she realizes "Peter you dumbass! We haven't even dated yet! Yet you chose to leave the world other than having your own happy ending!"
May just hugged the crying girl.
Ned was being held back by his parents "This is all your fault Stark! It shouldn't have been Peter! It shouldn't have been him! Because... Because he deserved the world. First he lost his parents, then his uncle then he lost his life... It should have been you..." MJ spoke crying near May.
There was a soft thud in the ground and a woman about her 20's appeared.
She had hair like Ariel.
"I saw her in Vormir. Mr. Parker sensed her as his last wish."
The woman who Tony recognized as...
"Natasha..."
