Memories

6. Back to square one

Peter POV:

It had been 2 days since Y/n disappeared.
Yesterday it felt like we were getting somewhere, I mean we found where the wizard lived. We were going to confront him and divisive a plan. But that did not work, no now Mr Stark decided he was going to make his own plan. Which was nothing yet. Now we were back to square one again. " Hey Mr Stark. Figured anything out yet?" I mentioned. "No, kid. Not yet." He announced.

Another day went past but this time I had a light bulb moment....... "Hey Mr Stark, today in class we were learning about quantum physics........." I suggested. "Are you suggesting to me that you think we could use quantum physics to pop in and out of different dimensions?" He repeated. "Yeah!" I admitted. "No kid that's not how it works. And anyway no one has ever survived going subatomic."

But yes, that did not work out.

Then something would happen that would make us stop trying........

It had been 4 days since Y/n went missing but I tried not to think about it, because it felt like me and Mr Stark were getting close, and we would be seeing her soon............

I decided to go out as Spider-Man, as it had been 4 days now so crime might be at its peak since the avengers were no more, and Spider-Man had not been around for a while. So, I walked into the alley close to where I lived, I made sure to use long lasting webs to stick my backpack to the wall to make sure it was here when I came back. I could not afford to lose another bag; May would kill me.

I set off swinging looking around for crime. Then I saw 5 guys robbing a bank. I know you would think they would learn. "Hey guys!" I rejoiced. "Get out of here spider freak this doesn't concern you!" The first robber spat. "Now hey, that's not very nice, is it?" I stated, slapping a hand on my chest. While shooting webs in his face and pulling him down to the ground with the other hand. "What about you are you going to tell me what you think you're doing?" I interrogated the second robber. "Go to hell!" He barked. "Mm, I need to teach you manners. Now come on, Lesson 1 is?" I taunted. They all charged at me, and I jumped onto the ceiling shot 2 of them in the face with webs, blinding them. "I guess you guys don't know. I'll tell you instead." I said while webbing one of them to the wall and shot webs over his mouth to make sure he did not talk. Then 2 of them started to run down the street! "Now hey guys! Come back! I didn't finish my lesson!" I nagged. I tied the others that were blinded already by my webs to the floor then, I slingshot myself out of the bank and kicking one of the guys in the back knocking him down and out. Round housing the other in the chest then webbed them together back-to-back. I even left a note for the police officers in the bank with all the robbers surrounding the note all in their own encasing keeping them stuck to the spot.
I was swinging around New York to get to mine and Y/n's favourite place to watch the sunset, it was a tall crane overlooking the whole of Queens. I sat there, my legs dangling off the edge of the crane. Soaking in the last rays of sun and warmth remembering all the times we had snuck out to watch the sunset. It was one of our favourite things to do that, it became like a tradition to come here every night. God, I missed those times. God, I missed her. But I had some reassurance knowing that Mr Stark was working no stop to get her home.

When I finally found which alley, it was that I left my bag in. It was especially hard after dark. I was humming to myself, as this was the best I had felt in days, I was reaching over to grab my bag of the wall when I saw......... "Y/n! OMG Y/n, talk to me. Say something!" There she was lying there under my backpack,
motionless. I stumbled to try and check her pulse. Nothing. Oh my god what do I do, what do I do!! Get her to Mr Stark he will know what to do.
So, I grabbed onto her, slinging my backpack over one shoulder, and started to swing towards the Avenger's compound.

When I arrived at the compound, nobody could be seen. It was deserted. Argh! Right when I needed someone, they were not there! "HELLO!! HELLO! ANYBODY?!" at this point I was panicking; I couldn't find anyone, and Y/n didn't have a pulse. "Please!! I need help!!"
I started silently crying to myself as I fell to my knees. "Pl-please............" I looked down at Y/n. She was pale, palest I have ever seen her. She was sweating all over, tiny scrapes and cuts on her hands and face. "Woah. Kid what is it! What's the Matt-" I could tell by the look in his eyes he'd seen y/n lying huddled up close to my chest. "Is.... is that Y/n?" He stammered. "Ye-yes Mr Stark. And she needs help. Now!" I sputtered.

Quicker than I had ever seen him he scooped up Y/n in his arms, then checked her pulse. He then carried her to a hospital looking part of the compound, which I did not know they had. He laid y/n on a bed, then pressed a button and started speaking. "I need emergency services here. Now!" He requested. He then turned to me looked me dead in the eye, looking panicked. "Kid. I um... need you to get pepper and once you've done that, wait outside." He Blurted. "But Mr Star-" I started to protest. "Don't argue, my daughter is lying on the bed with no pulse! Get pepper! End of discussion!" He implored.

I silently walked out, sniffing from all the crying. I found pepper sitting at her desk doing work I am assuming. "Hey, did you find what's as making that rack-" She must have seen the state I was in as she came rushing up to me and gave me a hug. "What's wrong?" She comforted. "Mr St-Stark told me to get you to go down to the Med Bay." I sniffed. "Why? Who's in there?" I could not to seem to look her in the eye. " Y/n" I mumbled. "Y/N!!!" And just like that she sped down to the Med Bay.

And just like again I felt empty. I wandered the corridors trying to find my way back. When I finally got back to the Med Bay the door was closed. I just pressed my back against the wall opposite the door and slowly slid down the wall eventually curling up into a ball crying. I must have cried myself to sleep because when I woke up it was morning, but this time the door was open........ And I could not hear the usual sound of a monitor that measures your heartbeat.

No.

No. No. No.

I sprang up and ran in, to find Y/n lying there. She looked so peaceful. And then suddenly, Doctors started to walk in the room unplugging everything. They approached Y/n and when to pull the sheet over her face. " No!" I jumped in front and grabbed the doctor's wrist. I looked down at her lifeless body, her face not pale but drain of all colours. No. This could not be happening. She cannot be...... can she? I was lost in a trance just staring at Y/n on the verge of tears. When a hand grabs my shoulder. "c'mon, kid. " He pulled me into a hug away from Y/n. The doctor finally pulled the sheet over her face. "no.... no she's not gone she's just playing a prank on us no, no, no, no.........!" I eventually relaxed into his hug crying into his shoulder. I could also hear Mr Starks mumbled cries.

She was gone.
