If I Remember You

-2 years later-

"RUN, MICHELLE, RUN!!!" Peter's voice yelled desperately as he shoved me down a dark alley.

"No, no, no. I'm not gonna leave you here" I yelled back grabbing his face in my hands as his eyes begged me with urgency.

"I'll find you. I promise. Just go now." He pleads as he kisses me softly pulling away all too quickly.

He moves me further down the alley before a portal opens with Ned on the other side.

"I'm getting really good at doing these" Ned perked happily as he took the scene in front of him.

"Oh crap" He mutters under his breath with fear in his eyes.

"Hurry up" He urges as I jump through the portal.

"Close it" Peter spoke from the other end as I glare down at him perplexed by his request.

"Jump Peter. What the hell are you even waiting for?" I urged reaching out for him desperately put he takes a couple steps back.

"I can't. Ned close the damn portal now" Peter yelled as we see a dark shadow approaching him.

"Peter don't. Just come and we will figure something out together" I begged with quivering lips. 

"I have to alure him away from the people" He replies glaring at Ned as gets dangerously closer to us.

"I'll be okay" He says with a small smile as the portal closes on both sides.

"No, no, no, no." I yell desperately staring at the dinning table right in front of me.

"OPEN IT. GET PETER BACK. NOW!!" I yelled angrily at Ned as he looked down at me with guilt written all over his face.

"I can't do that" He argues as I groan bitterly at him.

"You want him to die? Open the damn portal!" I say again more sternly now standing on my feet to glare down at him.

"You may be a whole foot taller than me MJ. But I still won't do it. So, calm the freak down and wait for him to come to us" Ned replied shaking his head disapprovingly at my outburst.

I scoffed bitterly before murmuring "fuck" under my breath in irritation as I take a deep breath while sitting down on the wood floor.

"I'm sorry MJ. But I have to keep you safe. Peter would kill me if I let anything happen to you." Ned mumbles sitting down next to me as I sigh defeatedly.

"I wish I could protect you both. But I can't." He says sorrowfully as I lean my head on his shoulder with a soft frown.

"Who the hell is even after him?" I mumbled trying to piece together everything in my head but failed miserably.

I was too worried about Peter to think about his enemy right now.

"He looked like he didn't belong here. Did you notice all that tech on him? I've never seen anything like that. Not even from Tony Stark himself" Ned pointed out as I nodded agreeing with him.

"You're right. That tech is definitely not ours. Like, from our timeline, I mean." I stutter as Ned's eyes grew wide in realization.

"You think he's from the future?" Ned tells me as I nod my head. "You said it yourself Ned. He looked like he didn't belong here. Maybe he doesn't. Isabel was from the future. Someone else might have managed a way to break through. Peter must have a much enemies in the future" I tell him as Ned frowns at the possibility.

"So what? Peter has to live the rest of his life dodging death from enemies-to-be? Ned snaps irritably as I sigh. 

"Let's hope not. But-I-I don't get it. Why now? We've lived danger-free for almost two years" I huff fidgeting with my hands.

" I'm pretty sure time-traveling is tricky to figure out" Ned mumbles as I chuckle at his bluntness.

"Do you think Peter is fine?" I tell him after sitting in silence for a couple of minutes.

"He is always fine." Ned assures me with a soft smile.

As we sat there quietly we saw an opening in a wall right in front of us. We stood up at lightning speed as we waited in anticipation for the person on the other side to walk through.

"Hey guys" A very slim and friendly Peter Parker greeted with a warm smile. 

Not my Peter Parker unfortunately.

"I sensed something was wrong with Peter and I just had to come here" He says as he removes his mask and we sigh in relief seeing his familiar face.

"Oh thank God" I mumbled as I rush towards him and embraced him tightly.

Very rare. I know. But I'm vulnerable right now and I'm so glad he is here to help my  Peter.

"O-ka-kay. So my tingle was right?" Peter says as I take a couple steps back nodding my head.

"And he us fighting someone from the future apparently" I added as he furrows his eyebrows together.

"From the future? Like who?" He asks me as Ned begins opening a portal of his own.

"Well I don't know, the guy is from the future" I deadpan with an unamused expression.

"Uh well yeah" Peter chuckled scratching the back of his head in embarrassment.

"He's over there" Ned interrupts as we see two figures in the distance.

"He will be fine" Peter assures grabbing my shoulders forcing me to look at him.

"I'll make sure of it" He adds with a small smile as I nod my head when he drops his hands and jumps through the portal.
