Almost Alone

Summary: Thanos has destroyed half of all living people, and Y/N is not one of them. 

-

You watched your best friend turn to ash, a sharp pain stabbed you in the chest. The only thing you could do was scream as you fell to the ground, tears of pain and sorrow pouring down your cheeks as you gripped your chest. The pain lasted for what felt like hours.

As the pain died down, the world went quiet. The only thing you could hear was the sirens in the distance wailing, while soot was falling from the buildings around you.

You pulled your hands away from your chest, the pain, gone and a certain numbness consuming you. You looked down at your hands, your skin had turned grey, everything about you seemed to have lost its color. 

Tears were still rolling down your cheeks, as your mind wandered to your parents, were they alright? You hoped they were, they had to be... right? You began to make your way home, rushing towards your small apartment in Queens.   

As you kept running back home, past the crashed cars, fires, and dust, not understanding how any of this even happened, you prayed your parents were waiting for you, worried sick probably, but alive.

You went past the bus stop you'd meet your friends at before school, past the burger stand where your father would get you a cheeseburger every Sunday, past the bookstore where you had first heard of the Spider-Man, you walked past so many places, places that were now shadows of what they once were.

After climbing the stairs of your apartment building, you finally arrived at your home. You sigh, and storm in, making your way towards the living room where your parents would usually sit on the couch watching some television show. 

"Mum? Dad? I'm home!" You say, trying to sound less depressed than you felt. However as you were walking towards the living room, you realized how quiet the apartment was.

Once again, you were only met with silence. 

The television was on but was only showing static, and in front of the television were two scattered piles of ash. You fall to your knees, more tears rolling down your cheeks and a pained scream escapes your chest.

As you mourned the loss of everyone you've ever loved, you heard a familiar yet unknown voice.

"Hello?"

You turned around, however, due to your tears, all you could see was a blurry vision of someone standing in your living room.

"Hey.. you alright?" called the voice again

You frowned "Who's there?" you replied as you tried to wipe the tears away, blinking excessively just to get your vision back again.

"I-I'm Spider-Man..."

You blinked one last time and watched how the blurry vision in front of you turned crystal clear, the voice that just spoke to you, coming from the masked man in front of you.

"Thank god!-  I- I'm y/n!" you said as tears were tinting your words,  "I thought I was alon-" 

An unknown voice emerging from the outside interrupted you. It was a voice you'd never heard before, however, it somehow did cause you to get chills all over your body. 

You made your way towards the front door, as you got to the door, the red and blue-suited man got in front of you, stretching his arm over your body, guarding you against whatever this huge 8'3 purple creature was outside was.

"Citizens of the Universe, my name is Thanos. I have saved you from an inevitable end. You may have noticed that some of those around you are gone, but this was necessary to assure the survival of all of you. You must go on without them, they were not needed, live as if they had never existed"

That's all the creature, named Thanos said, at least that's all you can remember. It turned black right after that last sentence.

You open your swollen eyes, was it all just a nightmare?

... Wait this isn't your bed... nor your room? you quickly try to get out of the unknown bed, feeling a stabbing headache as soon as you try to get up. You slowly start to panic again, not knowing where you are, only until you hear a familiar voice. 

"Hey...uh-  you hit your head pretty bad... I think it's for the best if you would just lay down-" the voice said,

You quickly look towards the door, revealing a familiar-faced brunette boy with kind eyes, you both go to the same school, you even have a couple of classes together. He's also your neighbor, Peter Parker.

 "I just had the weirdest nightmare ever," you responded, ignoring his advice, "some purple guy wiped away like half of the population," you said smiling, relieved seeing a familiar face.

"Y-yeah...  that actually happened."

"What..." you said as your smile turned back into a frown, feeling a sudden heavy weight pulling you down.

"Hey hey! I know it's not easy but right now you need to rest," his voice surprisingly calming you down. "I'll bring you a painkiller alright? I'll be right back." Peter said as he headed down the stairs looking for the first aid kit. 

As you were sitting in his bed, trying to get rid of the dizziness, you couldn't help but notice a red and blue colored spandex suit, crumpled up, peaking out of a crack of the closet. "wait is that...?" you say to yourself as you stand up and walk your way towards the closet, 

"Sorry it took so long, usually aunt may just-" you heard Peter's voice enter the room,

Both your eyes go wide,

"You're Spider-Man?!"
