Peter's P.O.V

Peter sat on the edge of his bed, his hands gripping the sides of the mattress as he looked down. He clenched his jaw, his heart full of anger as he looked at the floor. After all, it was the five-year-anniversary of what they now called the blip, which marked five years since Y/N and half of all life had been snapped out of existence by Thanos. And four years since Tony had given up on finding a solution. After a year of trying to figure out how to reverse what Thanos had done, the pace of trying to find a solution had slowed down, and then stopped. Peter had left the Avengers after that. He didn't want to work every day around the people who had given up on his girlfriend, especially her own father. And so he had walked away from the Avengers, and had walked away from being Spider-Man. He'd gotten a job as a computer analyst, and had been living under the radar as much as he could ever since. The only people that he still had contact with from his old life were May, Ned and MJ. He hadn't talked to any of the Avengers in years and he wanted to keep it that way. He stood up and grabbed a t-shirt, figuring that he should probably start his day before he got too mad at the world again. He pulled it on as he headed downstairs. His eyes flicked up to the window by his front door, his eyebrows furrowing as he saw a black car pulling up his driveway.

"What the fuck?" he mumbled to himself. He headed down the rest of the stairs and opened the front door, his eyes glued to the car as it stopped ten metres away from the porch. The driver climbed out of it, making Peter's eyes widen.

"Fucks' sake." he mumbled. Tony gave him a small smile, making Peter sigh as his former mentor shut the car door.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" he scoffed.

"That's no way to treat your old mentor and future father-in-law." Tony teased as he walked towards the porch.

"You would have been my future-father-in-law if you hadn't given up trying to bring her back." he nodded as he crossed his arms over his chest. Tony sighed and stopped in his tracks.

"You're still hurting, Peter, I get that, trust me. But you're not the only one who lost Y/N that day." he shook his head.

"No but I'm the only one who didn't give up on her." he spat.

"She's why I'm here, Peter." Tony snapped back. Peter's eyes widened slightly, his eyebrows furrowing.

"What do you mean, Tony?" he mumbled. His former mentor sighed and gave him a small smile as he walked up the steps to the porch.

"How about you invite me in, and then we can talk?" he shrugged as he patted Peter's shoulder on his way into the house. Peter rolled his eyes and sighed, though his heart jumped slightly in hope as he followed him inside.

Peter and Tony sat down at his dining table, the boy's jaw clenched as he stared at the man who he used to look up to. Used to.

"You said that you're here to talk about Y/N. So, talk." Peter nodded. Tony sighed and put a small cube on the table.

"FRIDAY, you know what to do." he nodded. Suddenly, a hologram emerged from the cube, Peter's eyes widening slightly as the image showed a series of twisted strains in green, with "100%" underneath it. His eyebrows furrowed.

"What is this, Tony? What am I looking at?" he mumbled.

"I developed a theory, one that would allow us to travel through the quantum realms and travel back in time. This is the possibility of it working." Tony admitted. Peter's eyes widened, his heart starting to thump more harshly as he looked at the man. He knew exactly what he was saying, he just needed to hear him say it.

"What exactly does that mean?" he asked.

"It means that we can go back and stop Thanos from ever happening. We can bring Y/N back." he nodded. Peter choked, his eyes wavering as he sat back in his chair.

"Tony, don't you fucking dare. Don't give me false hope unless you're absolutely sure that we can do this." he choked.

"Kid, you're looking at the same sequence as I am. Do the science yourself if you want to be sure, but I'm telling you that it works. But, we need your help." he spoke. Peter gulped, a tear leaving his eye as he looked at his old mentor. He had to admit that he was in two minds about this. He knew deep down that obviously he was going to agree to go with Tony, as it meant getting Y/N back, but he wasn't exactly keen on the idea of seeing everyone again and working with them once more. After all, it had been five years since he'd left, and he was sure that at least some of them saw him as having abandoned the team. Though they did abandon Y/N first. But he knew what he had to do. He sighed and looked at Tony.

"You know that I'll come. But don't expect me to stick around afterwards if this works and we get her back." he shook his head.

"She'll be back, why wouldn't you come back too-."

"Because I'm the reason that she got blipped, okay, Tony?!" he spat as he leant forward and slammed his hand against the table. Tony's eyes widened slightly, making the boy swallow thickly and look down as he desperately tried not to cry.

"Is that why you left? Because you blame yourself for what happened?" Tony asked softly. Peter kept his eyes glued to his lap, his tears falling onto his sweatpants as he stared at his legs.

"I shouldn't have left her that day to join you. I know that they were your orders, and I'm not blaming you for that, but I should have argued and stayed with her. M-maybe then, I could have helped them to fight him back on Earth. Maybe...I could have saved her." he choked and shook his head. Tony sighed and gave him a small smile, tears pricking his own eyes as he looked at Peter.

"I never knew that you blame yourself for Y/N. But I'm telling you that it wasn't your fault. It wasn't anyone's fault. We did everything that we could to stop him, not to mention that you know that who got blipped was random. You couldn't have stopped Y/N from disappearing even if you'd wanted to. But this is how we fix everything. We go back, we do whatever the fuck we missed five years ago, and we get my daughter back. This is what we do." he nodded. Peter gulped and returned it, his hand raising to wipe his wet eyes as he sat forward again in his chair.

"Okay. So, what's the plan?"

Y/N's P.O.V

My eyes shot open and I gasped harshly as I shot up into a sitting position. My chest heaved and fell harshly, my eyes wide as I looked around. They furrowed, confusion filling my brain as I looked up and around the forest. I must have passed out, I thought as I stood up and looked around.

"Wanda?" I called out as my eyes flicked around for my mentor. But something was wrong. My eyebrows furrowed, more questions entering my brain as I seemed to be completely alone. And Vision's body was gone. What the fuck was going on? I turned around as I heard the quiet sound of wind whistling. Doctor Strange's golden circle appeared, making me gulp as he stepped through it.

"Welcome back, kid." he nodded. My eyebrows furrowed.

"What do you mean? I didn't go anywhere. I must have passed out or something, where's Wanda?" I scoffed. Doctor Strange sighed and put his hands on my shoulders, making me look at him.

"This is going to be hard to hear, Y/N. But you didn't pass out. Thanos succeeded in eliminating half of all life, and we were among those who turned to dust. It's been five years." he admitted. My eyes widened, a choke leaving my lips as I tried to comprehend what he'd just told me. Five years. That was enough time for plenty to change, for things to have happened...for Peter to have found someone else. I felt sick to my stomach at the thought. I looked at Doctor Strange.

"What do we do, then?" I asked.

"What we always do. We're joining the fight." he nodded. I gulped and returned it, a pit forming in the bottom of my stomach at the idea of having to face Thanos again. But it's what we had to do.

"Come on, Strange. Let's get that purple asshole." I mumbled, making the man smirk and nod as we headed through the portal.

I ran across the battlefield, my energy firing at Thanos' army as we fought them. I had barely seen Peter or my dad since I had come back, and all I wanted was to be in my boyfriend's arms again. I looked ahead, my eyes widening as I saw Peter on the ground. He was scrambling back and firing his webs at the massive alien that was approaching him, though the white strings weren't doing anything. My eyes widened.

"Fuck no you don't." I scoffed and shook my head before raising my hands. My energy ripped through the alien's body, making him cry out as Peter's eyes widened. He fell down, Peter looking up and at me as he sat up. His eyes widened.

"Y/N...oh my fucking god, Y/N." He choked as he scrambled to his feet.

"It's me, I'm back." I cried as we rushed towards each other. He engulfed me in a hug, his arms tightly wrapping around my waist as I wrapped my arms around his neck. We sobbed into each other's hair, my tears wetting my skin as I just let myself be held in his arms. I knew that it hadn't been five years for me, but I did remember that my last thought before I'd passed out was the terrifying fact that I may have never seen him again. So the fact that I was actually here, back in the arms of the love of my life, meant everything. I pulled back and looked at him, my hands cupping his face as I just admired him. He hadn't changed a bit in five years. His face looked a little more worn and mature, but apart from that, he was my Peter.

"I've missed you so much, babe. Five years without you was far too fucking long." he choked and shook his head as his hands also raised to hold my face.

"It's okay, Pete, because I'm back now. I'm here, I'm alive. And we're going to do it right this time." I nodded.

"Damn right." he agreed, making me chuckle and shake my head.

"INCOMING!" Suddenly, Peter and I were ripped apart, both of us going flying back as a result of the blast. I landed harshly, cries leaving my lips as pain shot through my body. I rolled onto my front and looked up, my eyes widening as Thanos stood there. With all of the infinity stones in the gauntlet.

"You didn't honestly think that you'd stop me, did you? I snapped you out of existence the first time, what's going to stop me from doing it again?" he smirked and shook his head. I gulped and flicked my eyes up, trying not to alert Thanos as I saw Thor soaring towards us.

"What's going to stop you is that I'm not alone this time." I nodded. As if on cue, Thor landed on Thanos' back, making him groan as Thor put his axe across his neck.

"We have him, but we need everyone!" I yelled into comms as I stood up and started to fire my energy at him. My teeth gritted together as the entire team tried to work to stop his hand from closing. Wanda, dad, Pepper and I all fired energy at him, making the alien groan as we slowly stripped him of his armour. Peter flew around him and attached webs to every part of him as Thor and Steve on his back kept him restrained.

"Keep pushing, guys! I nearly have it!" Captain Marvel yelled as she tried to pull the gauntlet off of his hand.

"We're so close, come on!" My dad shouted. I gulped, blood starting to trickle out of my nose at the amount of power that I was using to hold him down. I could feel myself getting weaker, but I knew that I had to keep pushing. But then everything went wrong. Captain Marvel pulled the gauntlet off of Thanos', only for him to grab the end of it. Her eyes widened as he pulled it back before grabbing Steve and flinging him down over his shoulders.

"GUYS!" I shouted as he started to pick us off one by one. My dad yelled out as he jumped onto his back, his body wrestling Thanos' as I continued to strip his armour with my power. My eyes widened, a scream leaving my lips as his fist harshly collided with my side and knocked me down again. I looked up and choked, my heart pounding in my chest as he stood there again, his hand raised as he started to put his fingers together.

"I told you. I am inevitable." he smirked before snapping his fingers. But nothing happened. My eyes widened, confusion filling my head as he looked at his fingers.

"What the fuck?" he mumbled as he desperately tried to click his fingers together. But nothing worked.

"Hey, asshole!" I looked ahead, my eyes wavering as dad knelt there. With the infinity stones moving up his arm. My eyes widened.

"Dad, no!" I cried, making him look at me. He gave me a small smile, tears also leaving his eyes as he looked at me. I couldn't believe this, I didn't want to believe this. Whilst I hadn't been there to experience it, my dad and Peter had had five years without me, and as soon as I was back, my dad was about to go. But this time, we wouldn't be able to get him back. He looked into my eyes, his own glossing over as we stared at each other.

"I'm sorry, kid. I'm sorry that things can't be different. But I'm doing this for you. I'm doing this because I can't risk him doing it again and losing you again. I'm doing this to save you, Peter, Morgan, everyone. Never forget how much I love you. The last five years of my life without you were almost impossible, but it's okay because now I know that you're alive. And I will happily give my life for you to live. I love you." he choked and shook his head before looking at Thanos.

"DAD, NO!" I screamed as he snapped his fingers.

"No, no, please, no." I whimpered, scrambling to my feet as soon as the blinding flash of light had disappeared. My dad's plan had worked, all of Thanos' army was disappearing around me, but at what cost?

"Dad, please, you can't leave me." I choked as I collapsed on my knees next to my dad's propped up body. He looked at me, half of his face burnt and the colour starting to drain from his skin as he gazed into my eyes. I choked and shook my head, tears streaming down my face as I knew that he was dying.

"Please don't go, dad, please!" I cried, my hand taking his oh-so-weak one as the other Avengers started to also gather around us.

"It's okay, honey. It's okay. Doing this meant saving you, and so I'd do it a thousand times again. Anything to save my little girl." he whispered and shook his head. Tears continued to stream down my face, my mouth hanging open as the colour in his eyes started to dull.

"I love you, dad. And I'm so sorry." I sobbed.

"Don't be sorry. You were amazing out there, you made your old man proud." he gave a weak chuckle, making me smile and shake my head as I desperately tried not to show how broken I was. It wasn't working, though. I bit my lip harshly as I felt Peter kneel down next to me, tears also streaming down his skin as he stared at my dad.

"Mr Stark, you're going to be okay, right? Please, tell me that you'll be okay." he choked and shook his head, making me squeeze my eyes shut and look down as I took his hand into my spare one. My dad gave him a small smile.

"Kid, I know that things haven't been the best between us these last five years, but just know that I never lost faith in you. I've always been so fucking proud of you. And now it's your job to look after Y/N for me. Promise that you'll look after her." he mumbled, his voice getting quieter as he got weaker and weaker. It wouldn't be long now, and that was tearing me apart.

"I promise, Mr Stark." Peter choked and nodded, my eyes glued to my dad as he looked back at me. He gave me a small smile, his eyelids fluttering shut as his body went limp. My mouth hung open, my entire body feeling numb as the light on his chest went dark. That was it. My dad was gone.

"Peter." I choked as he pulled me into his arms.

"I know, baby, I know. I'm so fucking sorry." he cried into my hair, the boy gently cradling me in his arms as we sat there, surrounded by the team, and saying goodbye to my dad. Just when I thought that I'd gotten them both back again.

~Ten years later~

"This elevator needs to hurry up, I'm fucking starving." I huffed, making Peter chuckle and look at me as he curled his arm around my waist and we stood in the glass box moving up.

"You're always hungry, angel." he teased as he pressed his lips to my head.

"That's because I'm pregnant, with your child too, asshole." I scoffed, making him laugh and nod.

"True." he chuckled. I smiled and shook my head as the elevator continued to move up. After my dad had died killing Thanos and his army, things had been strange. The first strange thing being that since I had blipped and Peter hadn't, he was now twenty-one and I was only sixteen. Given the societal logistics of that, we had decided to call a break in our relationship, but had started dating again when I was eighteen and he was twenty-three. He had proposed to me in the rooftop garden of the Stark Tower on my twentieth birthday, and we had gotten married three years later. And now, after three more years of trying, I was five months pregnant with our first child. As much as I loved our situation now, it would never be perfect, and that was for the simple fact that my dad wasn't there to see me through these milestones. Peter had never had the chance to ask for his blessing to marry me, he had never walked me down the aisle, he'd never meet his grandchild. That deeply hurt me, but Peter and the rest of the Avengers were always amazing with supporting me through those events without him, and so I was looked after. The elevator stopped and we got out, smiles curling onto our lips as we walked into the dining room to see the rest of the team rushing about to get stuff ready for our weekly Saturday brunches. They spotted us, everyone's eyes brightening as we headed out of the elevator.

"Y/N! Honey, welcome home!" Pepper gushed as she immediately hugged me.

"Thanks, Pep, it's good to be back." I smiled.

"How are you feeling? I hope that the morning sickness has disappeared a bit." she chuckled.

"It's definitely not as bad as it was in the early days." I nodded, making her return it and give me a small smile as Peter and I started to mingle with people. Wanda walked into the room, making me look up at her. Her lips curled into a smile as she saw me.

"Honey." she smiled, making me return it as we tightly hugged each other. Since Wanda and I had been alone when I had blipped and since she had always been my mentor, she had been another person who had blamed themselves after I had gone. Me coming back had only made our bond ten times stronger, and so now she was even more of a motherly figure to me than Pepper was.

"How are you and the baby?" she asked as she pulled away and looked down at my bump whilst gently resting her hands against it.

"We're good. They never let me sleep, but Pete never did either, so that's not new." I teased, making her laugh and shake her head as we continued to talk.

"Put your hand right there-there you go." I smiled at Morgan, all of us sitting at the table and eating as she put her hand against my bump. Her eyes widened and she looked at me, making me chuckle and nod as the baby kicked.

"That's so cool, oh my god. What does it feel like from the inside?" she asked.

"About ten times stronger." I chuckled and nodded, making me smile at Peter as he put his hand on my thigh.

"Do you know yet if it's a girl or a boy? I want to know if I'm getting a niece or a nephew." she smiled. I bit my lip and looked at Peter, making him raise his eyebrows.

"You ready to do this, angel? She won't be the only one who starts asking." he shook his head. I nodded, nerves starting to fill my stomach as I looked back at Morgan.

"Yes, actually. We do." I stated, making her eyes widen as I stood up.

"Can I have everyone's attention, please?" I asked, everyone stopping conversation and looking at me as I rested my hands against my bump.

"What's up, kid?" Steve asked. I bit my lip and looked up and down the table, my heart hurting at the missing face, but also full for the family that I still had.

"So, as we all know, today marks ten years since we defeated Thanos. Which means ten years since dad died." I nodded as tears pricked my eyes. Everyone murmured and nodded, sombre faces taking over as Peter gently took my hand for support.

"But, I think that he'd want us to use this occasion to be happy, instead of sad, which is why Peter and I have some news to share about the baby." I stated. Everyone's eyes widened.

"Oh my god, do you know the sex?" Pepper asked. I nodded and bit my lip as I looked down at Peter, him smiling and kissing my hand as I looked at everyone.

"It's a boy. And we have a name picked out too, one that we think that dad would very much approve of." I continued.

"Don't keep us in suspense, what is it?" Wanda smiled. I bit my lip.

"Anthony Benjamin Parker." I admitted. Everyone's eyes widened again, smiles curling onto their lips and tears running down their faces as they looked at us.

"After both of your fathers. Oh, honey. It's perfect." Pepper smiled and shook her head.

"It really is. They'd love it, both of them would." Steve nodded.

"Thank you guys, it means a lot. Neither of them can be here to enjoy their grandson, so we figured that we'd keep him close to them by giving him their names." Peter spoke.

"He's going to be a very lucky boy to have that legacy, guys. You did good." Wanda smiled. I returned it and bit my lip as I sat down, tears pricking my eyes as Peter wrapped his arm around me.

"You okay, babe?" he asked softly. I looked at him.

"Yeah. I have you, and them, so yeah. I'm okay." I nodded. He gave me a small smile and kissed my head, making me sink further into his arms as I rested my head on his shoulder. Life would never be perfect again since dad was gone, but having Peter, our baby and the rest of my family always around me was a pretty close second. And one that I'd happily take.
