What if?

Chapter 8

Third POV:

Tony died at the grand age of 77, from natural causes . Now of course, you know the story of his and Bruce's joint funeral but what about what happened to him after?

He finally got to see his kid again. His underoos.

Tony's POV:

I gasped as I sat up in the middle of a field, meadow really. I looked around me and all I could see for miles and miles was different coloured flowers, all swaying in the wind.

Meadow? Breathing? Wind?! Where the fuck am I?!? Am I dead?

"Yes you are Tony," a voice said from behind me, a voice that had faded from my memory but I'd never fully forgotten it.

I turned to see Peter Benjamin Parker stood there in all his glory, completely scar and burn free unlike the last time I saw him. His chocolate brown eyes so similar to that of his daughter and granddaughter, sparkled with warmth. His fluffy brown hair was flopping into his eyes but looked at soft and curly as it had always been.

And most important of all, he was breathing and smiling.

"Hello Stark," he grinned.

My self control snapped and I bolted towards him, practically crushing him against my chest as I sobbed. We both fell to our knees and I could feel him rubbing my back.

"P-Pete..." I breathed.

He pulled away from the hug and smiled whilst nodding.

"Sure am Tony!"

I looked up at him and a wide grin spread across my face as I tackled him once more, this time both of us landing on our sides on the ground. We both laughed as we rolled over from hitting the ground at such an impact before squeezing each other right and sighing.

"Fuck Pete...I missed you kiddie." I muttered.

"Yeah? Well I've missed you all too. How's Petra?! Is she as amazing as I thought she'd be?! Does she still look like me?!" Peter rambled out excitedly.

I just stared at him, he hadn't changed at all even in death.

"Oh god Pete, Petra's...she's perfect, she's just like you bud, looks and all. She did a great job running your company, oh well done on that by the way! She had two kids, Peter after you and a girl called
Lisa-Marie." I replied.

Peters grin widened even further and helping his former mentor up off the ground.

"That's good...she named her own kid after me huh?"

"Well duh underoos, you are her father no matter how long you've been gone!" Tony's voice faded into a sad tone towards the end when his head finally wrapped around the fact of just how long it had been since he'd last seen Peter well and alive.

Peter rubbed the back of his scar free neck, drawing Tony's attention to it. He raised an eyebrow at the completely scar and burn free flesh, his dark brown eyes flickering up to meet peter's.

"What's with the completely unblemished skin kid?" Tony inquired.

Peter shot him a befuddled look before his eyes widened in realisation.

"Oh! Yeah, when you arrive here after death, all of you're blemishes and anything you hate about yourself go/changes. For instance, all of my scars are gone and my nose is no longer crooked like it had been since I was 12, when I broke it." Peter replied happily.

Tony's eyes shot down to his chest as he pulled the collar of his shirt down. It revealed a bare, completely mark-free chest, no sign of the scars the shrapnel and arc reactor had left behind. He grinned widely, practically vibrating from excitement before promptly tackling Peter back down to the ground laughing hysterically.

He'd never been this happy before, not even on his wedding day or the day of his daughters birth. The reason being, he no longer had the awful reminders of his tragic past, nor did he have to worry about people trying to kill him again and he also got his son back and finally of course, he knew his wife, daughter, niece, grandkids and grandniece/nephew would be just fine.

And one day they could all reunite. But for now, he was content to spend the rest of eternity in peace with his son, mother and other fallen avengers/friends such as Bruce, Loki, Natasha, Pietro, Steve and his aunt Peggy. Although it was a little weird to think that Steve had dated and married his aunt Peggy in a different timeline.
