"Are you sure this is going to work?" Peter looked up at the school nervously, squeezing your hand, "I'm really okay with just going back home and figuring things out-"

Peter really didn't mean that, you know he didn't. He tried to pretend like he was fine with staying forgotten, but yesterday you informed him that May had been discharged from the hospital and he wanted nothing more than to see him. When he realized that he could only watch her from a distance because she no longer knew who he was, he was devastated and you then called Jean and asked her if you could expedite your plans.

So here you were, with Peter trying not to be a problem and you insisting that for once in his life he does something for himself. Even when the multiverse broke apart, it was because he was trying to help other people.

"(Y/n), how lovely for you to visit," Professor Xavier greeted happily, then he turned his gaze to Peter, "You must be Mr. parker. I am happy to meet you for the first time again."

"Hello, Professor," Peter smiled, reaching out to shake his hand, "Thank you for this."

"Well, if (Y/n) is correct, and I know they are, then you are very deserving of our help. Jean is setting up Cerebro now. Normally she doesn't need it, however, I believe that it will be advantageous in this scenario."

Professor Xavier led the two of you down to the lower levels of the school where the X-Men were waiting for you. Just as the professor said, Jean was already hooked up to Cerebro. She greeted the two of you with a smile.

"Hello there. Peter, I'm going to be searching for the minds of those you want to remember you. Please understand the number of minds I can touch is limited because if what (Y/n) explained is right then reversing the spell completely would tear the multiverse apart again. I assume you have a list. The X-Men will automatically be included."

"Oh, yeah," Peter pulled the list out of his pocket.

May Parker, Ned Leeds, Michelle Jones, Happy Hogan, Harley Keener, Pepper Potts, Morgan Stark, Shuri of Wakanda, Nick Fury, James Rhodes, Clara, and Lucas (L/n)

The list consisted of those that Peter deemed most important to him. Anyone else he could be reintroduced to over time. Jean looked it over and nodded once, closing her eyes and reaching out to the minds of those Peter held most dear.

There was no great energy surge or meeting with a deity you still didn't understand this time. There was simply silence that was only broken when Jean finally opened her eyes.

You wondered if the others felt it though, if they suddenly had headaches or if the fog around their brains cleared - fog they didn't even know was there. You hoped it was completely painless because all of them were so empathetic and selfless that you had no doubt the pain of knowing Peter had been forgotten - no matter how temporary it was - would be worse than anything physical.

There was no pain on Jean's face as her own memories returned, though you also knew that she had long since mastered setting aside the effects of her powers on her body, just as you had long since grown used to the aches and scratches that came from healing others.

"Hello again, Peter," she carefully removed Cerebro and handed it over to Frank, "It's been a long couple of days for the two of you, but I'm glad that I helped you."

Immediately the two of you began receiving texts and calls, some confused and some knowing. Everyone wanted to meet up with Peter - and by extension you - to figure out why they had forgotten he existed for a week. But the two of you had to postpone any of those meetings, as you already had one planned.
