Home Is Where The Heart Is (Peter Parker)

[6] We're In The Endgame Now

I woke up to a helmeted Peter standing over me, frantic.

"What... happened." I say groggily.

"Come on, it's been five years they need our help." Peter says and pulls me up.

"Five years?"

"Remember when it all got super dusty? And I passed out in Mr. Stark's arms while you watched?"

"Vaguely."

"Well, we were gone for five years... and now we're back."

Five years? For five years my father was alone.

"Come on, kid!" Strange calls to me as he opens a portal.

As I step into the portal my surroundings change. I'm back on Earth... back at the compound, back at home. But this? This is the ruins of my home. Peter swings in and his helmet is removed from his face. Pepper makes a landing in front of me clad in her new iron suit. It was purple, the color of the dress my father said she was wearing when he fell in love with her all those years ago. The heroes begin striking a battle pose, I too.

"AVENGERS!" I hear Steve yell as Mjolnir flies into his hand "Assemble."

Thor makes a battle cry and we charge at the alien forces ahead. Thanos raises a sword, commanding his army to charge as well. I push off the ground with a large burst of dark purple energy, I ready my fist and begin generating my energy towards it. I meet an alien in the face. It knocks it down, but not for long. I lift it up and begin ripping it apart only to be knocked down by Thanos himself.

I lift large clumps of debris and rock above my head, the purple haze around them. I push my arms outwards, throwing them at him. They collide with him but it wasn't long before he was in action again, springing at me with his sword. Before I could react I felt someone grab my waist and pull me off the ground. I look to see Peter.

"Peter, what the hell! I had him."

"Actually, he almost had you." He says.

He lands a hard landing as a large man the size of a building steps on the big goblin guy. I look down to see: my father. Our eyes meet.

"Emma." He whispers, teary eyed.

"Dad." I choke out.

I race to meet his arms, the familiar metal of his iron suit reaching my skin.

"I'm sorry pumpkin." He says in my ear.

"Hey! Holy cow! You will not believe what's been going on. Do you remember when we were in space? And I got all dusty? I must've passed out, Because I woke up, and you were gone. But Doctor Strange was there, right? He was like, "It's been five years. Come on, they need us." And then he started doing the yellow sparkly thing that he does all the time-" Peter rambles.

My dad doesn't say a word, he grabs Peter by the arm and pulls him to join our hug.

"Oh, this is nice." Peter mumbles.

Peter sits straight up, like he did on the bus, and stares straight at Clint, who is holding a gauntlet like the one Thanos wore, but Hot Rod Red and Gold.

"Cap, what do you want me to do with this damn thing?" Clint asks into the comms.

"Get those stones as far away as possible!" Steve yells back.

"No! We need to get them back where they came from." Bruce states.

"No way to get them back. Thanos destroyed the quantum tunnel." My dad says.

"That wasn't our only time machine." A man, assumingly Scott Lang, says.

Suddenly a loud horn played La Cucaracha through the battlefield.
