The ground shook violently as the rock pile underneath Peter started to rumble and shift again. They had been happening for hours, growing in intensity. But this one was different. It wasn't stopping. Around him, the wind picked up until it nearly knocked him over, and the ground finally cracked open, in large branches stemming from (y/n)'s location. Tony yanked Peter back, flying back a safe distance as the ground opened up. Peter in one hand with Kate in the other. The wind grew worse, and they could hear glass breaking in sharp shatters all around them. The three of them watched in horror as a giant chasm opened where (y/n) was, screaming as the pile of debris poured down.

Everything faded as Peter watched it fill up, essentially watching (y/n) die. For the first time that day, his mind truly stopped. As tears welled up in his eyes, his feet moved without his control, one small step at a time. He opened his mouth to call out her name, but nothing came out except a resembling breath. He kept on going until he reached the edge of the crack, not registering the cries and screams from Tony and Kate behind him.

Suddenly, the shaking and the wind stopped, and the world was still. Just as Peter's heart stopped, he heard a deep rumble coming from the pile. Peter watched in worry as the debris began to rise. It started out slowly with one rock at a time, until thousands were floating up. Then, a big white light burst through the pile, sending him flat on his ass and forcing the air out of him. As he began to get up, he froze. (Y/n) slowly rose up, her eyes closed and body straight as she held her hands out on her sides, willing everything around her to rise. Her entire form was enveloped in white light as a small cluster of debris circled her.

Peter's heart leaped at the sight of her alive, and his eyes started to well up for a new reason. "Oh, my god..." Peter whispered. "(Y-y/n)... (Y/n)!"

She didn't respond to his voice and continued to float up, stopping until she was stories above him. Everything was still until her eyes shot open. A loud boom echoed from above, and he could feel the air change around him. He shielded his eyes as (y/n) grew too bright to look at. Everything began to move after that. Peter watched as everything began to shift and move around him. The ground shook again, but instead of the ground tearing itself apart, it forced itself together again. A rock flew past his nose as it made its way towards a growing wall that was merging itself with a forming building.

She's fixing everything!, he realized.

At that moment, all of the bruises and cuts and aches that littered his body began to heal. His hands felt all over his face, feeling no more stings from exposed cuts and scratches. Soon, the area around them was as perfect as it was when the day started. The light that surrounded (y/n) suddenly disappeared. Peter squinted, finally finding her falling form. Her body wasn't even covered in her signature armor, but her normal clothes instead. His heart dropped.

"Shit!"

Faster than he ever had before, Peter shot his webs, pulling himself through the air as she raced toward her with a skilled muscle memory that only he possessed. His eyes never left her for a second as he made his way up to her, hundreds of feet above the ground. Finally, with one final web, he caught her before they crashed through a window and into a random building...

(Y/n)'s eyes snapped open as she sat straight up. Her heart was beating wildly in her chest as she forced the air in and out of her lungs. Everything was out of focus. Colors were blurring together, and there was a ringing in her ears that deafened everything else. Fear raced through her as she turned her head to try and look around to see or hear anything that could tell her where she was, but she couldn't make sense of it. Then, she heard a sound to her right. Her eyes searched desperately, but all she could see was a blob of color. The sound got louder and sharper, growing in volume. Just as it was all becoming too much, she felt a touch on her shoulder. Then her hand. It was as if time stood still at that moment. Warmth radiated from them grounding her. Slowing, her world quickly began to come into focus.
