Memories

5. What just happened?!

Peter POV:

I could not believe it. She was gone. She was just there, in my reach. If Mr Stark had not held me back, I would have been able to save her!

"WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING!!!" Screamed Mr Stark, into the wizard's face. Poking him in the chest. "I'm sorry, what?" He said calmly, looking at his finger in disgust. "WHAT WAS MY DAUGHTER DOING WITH YOU!!" He shouted even louder, poking him harder. "Helping me return people to their right dimensions." He shrugged sarcastically. "Oh, cut the bull, what was she REALLY doing with you!" He exclaimed, flinging his arms up in the air. Gesturing to the destruction that was central queens. "I have already stated what she was doing." The irritation becoming very visible in his voice. "Well if that's even the slightest bit true why didn't YOU HELP HER!!" He screamed at the top of his voice, less irritated now and more grief stricken. "Listen I under-" he calmly dodged the question. "NO! You do not understand. She kept secrets from me, and where did that get her?! Killed!!" For the most of this conversation, I had zoned out looking at the spot Y/n was last. But when Mr Stark said 'Killed' I perked up. "She is not dead. She only went to another dimension." He said now trying to get out of the conversation. "Well for all you know that dimension could be the death of her! Or she might die because you let her take off the wristband!!!!" He asserted. "M-Mr St-Ark?" My eyes threatening to overflow with tears at the thought she might be gone. Gone forever. Tony whipped around and he facial expression completely changed. He relaxed when he said. "Hey, kid why don't I walk you home. I'll deal with this pleb later." He smiled, obviously trying to cheer me up.

As we walked home, I was trying to stop the tears rolling down my face. "Hey kid. It is ok to cry, you just lost your best friend. You know you can always talk to me-" he was cut off by me shouting. "it's all my fault Mr Stark!" I stopped, running my hands through my hair. "Now hey that's not fair!" He said trying to convince me so. "But it is my fault! I was tasked to get her to safety! But I failed to even get near her!" I do not think I noticed but I started to break down. Tears rolling down my face none stop. It suddenly got extremely hard to breathe. It was like there was a force crushing the inside of my throat. "Hey kid. Calm down, ok? Breathe just breathe." He whispered, placing his hands on my shoulders, trying to pull me into a hug. "MR STARK WITH ALL DO RESPECT SHE WAS RIGHT THERE IN FRONT OF ME AND COULDN'T SAVE HER BECAUSE YOU WERE PULLING ME BACK!! SO DO NOT TELL ME TO CALM DOWN OR BREATHE!"I shouted, not caring if I was drawing attention to myself. I tore myself out of Mr Starks grip and stumbled around, my vision blurry with tears. "NOW HEY! YOU LISTEN HERE, I DID THAT TO SAVE YOUR BUTT. I ALREADY KNEW I WOULD LOSE
Y/N I WAS NOT LOSING YOU TOO......" he shouted. "I know. I am sorry Mr Stark. I just can't help but think I could have done something." Sighing In defeat. "You did all you could do." He said placing hand on my shoulder and patting it. "I know, I know. Well, I am going to let may know I am ok. See you Mr Stark." I half heartily smiled. I went into the alley I left my backpack in, luckily it was still there. Which did not happen very often. I got dressed into my clothes packed my suit into my bag and walked the rest of the way back home.

"Hey May. I'm home." I said plopping my bag down on the floor. "OMG, you're ok. don't ever do that to me again!" She came running up to me and wrapped me in a bone crushing hug.

Just a note. Ned, MJ, and aunt May all know he's Spider-Man.

"I-I know May I'm so-rry..." my voice still breaking from all the crying and shouting. "Oh, Pete what happened?" She said loosening her grip and standing back to look at me. "she's gone may. She's gone and I didn't even get to say goodbye." I flopped down onto the couch and hung my head in my hands, crying. "Oh Pete." She sat next to me and hugged me from behind while I cried into my hands.

We were there for what felt like an eternity.

I woke up the next morning, felling dead inside. I did not want to move. I was still in shock that she had just disappeared like that.

BING

Urgh! What is it now?!

~Over text~

Hey kid how
are you feeling?

Fine.

Well, if your so fine
I guess you do not want
to come with me to meet
the dime store magician?

Wait what?
How did you
find him again?

Kid, I am Tony stark,
I have my ways 😉.

~Off text~

How was he still cracking jokes and being sarcastic? Well, Mr Stark always covered what he was really feeling with sarcasm and jokes. I managed to drag myself out of bed, I tried to eat a bowl of cereal, but I could not, I just did not feel hungry. I checked my phone before I left, and Mr Stark said to meet him at 177a Bleecker Street.... "Hey." I shrugged. "Hey kid, how you are feeling?" His voice surprisingly chipper. "Ok... how are you doing?" I saw his chipper expression falter. He looked everywhere but at me, because he knew that if he looked me dead in the eye he would break down. "Fine. Now let us get some answers." He said marching up to the door. He started banging on the door, furiously. "Hey! I know your busy pulling rabbits out of hats, but we need to talk. Now!" His voice and mood changing completely. The door opened almost immediately. "Come in, what took you so long?" The wizard said in his overconfident deep voice. Inside, it was like a place out of like a movie or something. It was so like.... wizardly .... but he is a wizard.

"So, how exactly do we get my daughter back?" Mr Stark asked, not sitting down or anything. Unlike me, I had sat down as I knew I would not have anything to say in the conversation. "Well, I'll have to open another port-" he was cut off by Mr Stark. "Hold up. Are you seriously suggesting we do what got us into this mess again?!" His voice rising a bit. "No, not exactly...." but as his voice faded off Mr Stark jumped in again. "Well Y/n was the one who saved your sorry excuse of a plan from destroying half of New York, do you seriously expect me to trust you to open up ANOTHER portal that you can't control?!" He shouted, sounding highly aggravated. "no. But if you don't want to do it my way then I suggest you wait until she finds her own way back." His voice mocking Mr Stark. "Ok! Fine! You have got nothing, but cheap party tricks up your sleeve, she is my daughter. She will find her own way back! And I'm going to do everything I can to help her!" Then Tony turned on his heel and stormed out. Wait was he serious?! I ran to follow close behind.

I rushed out, not wanting to stay in there. I saw Mr Stark down the street I ran as fast as I could to catch up with him. "Mr Stark! Mr Stark! You're not actually going to wait until she finds her way back, are you?" starting to panic. Who knows how long that would take! "No. I am going to figure it out myself. I mean c'mon I'm Tony stark and I'm going to be the one who finds my daughter!" His traditional smirk creeping back in his face. "Ok...... if, you're sure. But I generally have a question?" I whispered. "Yeah?" He replied softly. "Well ...... does Y/n have powers?" I asked. "Yes, she does. We're not entirely sure where they came from." He answered truthfully. "Oh, ok it's just she never mentioned anything." I stated. "Seems she kept secrets from the both of us."
