Even now Peter could tell Doctor Strange's apology was taking a weird turn. And this was after every encounter in and from alien realities. New understandings, other people wearing the mask to consider in other versions of New York, some of them being the only ones with masks. Or settled down after enough time wearing it. Everything they attracted unintentionally because of his request.

He knew the fear that felt unlimited before all of it. That would bring back everything, everyone he beat right back but more advanced. Now he felt everything as the lightest of shocks or tremors he could ignore. He could carry on, for both sides of his life.

" When I said I saw one future where we won.... I had tunnel vision... That other outcome, circumstances were taken before I could even put myself in that state. We could have won, taken someone else's place..." It looked like the man behind the cloak seemed to crumple under his words. " But it doesn't ease what happened... Or the fallout... What I have to work on or think about when I doubt myself.. or see the worst in me.... When I tried to help without thinking of the rest of your life."

Peter cleared his throat allowing the sorcerer to pause. "If the future's constantly in flux, if we're here trying it's more than enough. It's life, a better way universally. Forgiveness is impossible to get from everyone... Just as it is to save everyone. We can't choose for the delusional or just the plain awful. But when we go down, when other people do it's worth it.... There's power still in them even if we can't see them again... We can't ask for forgiveness or work to rewind things to be simpler. It's not impossible but it's not a solution for anyone.... Little by little it'll rain down, wear down on who've we've become.. Fearing or wanting what we couldn't keep up with."

" Everyone has to face the aftermath of their own secret war even if it's one more day or decades of stories that.... disappoint.. Prolonging it, escaping just makes it worse."

Stephen smiled as the cloak held itself out, to reach for the wall crawler's hand. And shook it. " I don't know how many others could sense what you grew into now Peter."

"I still think I'm on my way, Stephen. "

Peter flashed a smile before leaving the sanctum. For a few moments he thought of just web slinging only to see another group wearing their support for Mysterio. A while ago that would have rattled him, maybe appearing in the corner of his eye as a living nightmare. Even if it was a small fraction of the groups he used to endure going anywhere. But the older monsters, tired old crooks, and temptation made it all seem smaller. His responsibilities over their fallacies.

Now he wasn't afraid of people who couldn't see through it, who listened to someone that wore himself out calling him a menace and wouldn't check a source. His rep wasn't buried, and they mourned a narcissist. And saw him as a bully. The ones he loved could be shielded, without a ripple of sacrifice.

Well right now he could do something, not powerful but capable of showing himself as far from the threat of people. By being petty Peter Parker.

Pulling up his sleeves till they could see the gold and red webs. Their quick assumptions could match his reflexes. To assume he was going to silence them with a web or show some attachment to his suit. He knew the enhancements were gone. Or as Ned put it ' mystic bonus features.' But they had no clue, they saw bits of it in action. To fight for more than his life. They wouldn't learn more, or be prepared for anything real.

" WHAT THE F-"

But he could have some fun.Peter hadn't seen someone freak out like that since the drug dealer he surprised when he stormed out of that shelter.

A/N I tried to blend the lines, the writing style of the trilogies and some references with my own.. I wanted it to be like how I felt through all the speeches, words. Heartfelt, indirect. Complex and cut off. Like a paradox in all. And the bully maguire Reference... You try looking up any marvel scene without seeing a bully or emo Peter reference. Or anything for that matter. And I wanted to end it with the inside out suit.

I wrote this after watching some plot leaks, Deep Fakes, rumors and fan trailers on YouTube. Mixed in with guesses .... and I pray to Dormammu that some aren't true...... But the leaked toys, merch, art and suits make up for it.

What didn't make the cut or for more chapters. And upcoming ones shots.

1( Sort of two--shots using Variant Peter Parker that confuses all three spiders. Thinking AOS with a mix of Ultimate cartoons. Since they did do animated versions of fitzsimmons and coulson. So a version of Peter in some SHIELD involvement. Academy, intern. )

2( MJ doing an entire philosophy, psychology argument with Rami Trilogy Peter that dissects certain words of his over the fight inside everyone quote. (I did psych, psychology courses a while back and used some quotes from the original movies..... and i would expect that from her. Especially if she learns more about the villains. )

3) What If Zombie Hunter Peter Parker fan ship or one shot. -IN PROGRESS -

4) Tasm MJ or some other love interest for TASM Peter. * I really hope they at least found someone.* I mean come on we know Rami Pete has his happily ever after. They had the scene, they had already cast her officially and cut it..

5] Peter doesn't ask for people to lose memory of his identity, instead he asks for something else. If things were different for him.. The memory, the fight of another Peter Parker. And seeing how things would be for him[Gifted/ MCU./More]. And things spiraling from there.

6) Cloak and Dagger and Spider-Man Fic. -a riff on the classic Peter related to such and such fic-

7) Peter Parker as... The Destroyer of Worlds. Again Agents of SHIELD and What if.

8)All Arachnid(Stargirl/ Spider-Man fic. .I like a few Artemis Crock and Peter fics that are Young Justice based and wanted to do a stargirl fic.

9 Magic Suit / black and gold suit one shot.

10] Peter X Lila Barton.

Also some thoughts that bug me. Or some lines, concepts I imagine in the movies.

The spell changes his friends, and their memories. Or him including their names mean they keep those memories. Or if they spells changed reality, excluding them who they are in school is different

"If Norman died in 2002 how did he adapt so quickly? I understand he's a genius and has a lot of technology.... But his world had limits, and we're ahead by more than decades. How? He was taken literally right after he died."

"Even if they get second chances.... It's still life in prison.... forever. "

"So is this old train car your base?"

/please don't let the two stick to their own suits..../.

/In my mind I called the yet to be named black and gold suit the Midnight Sun Suit./(my own thought

Flash Thompson meeting Flash Thompson.

Anyone else think Strange is mentoring Peter.... Prepares him for mentoring America Chavez ?

Stephen to Christine.

" She's my ward...."

My alternate idea for the ending. Peter is in a sort of pocket dimension version of New York, a new reality filled with those enemies. And has to stay there dealing with all of them for some time mostly on his own. But with the chance of getting home eventually.
