Highest ranking: #1 in Infinity War Thankyou all so much!

'Tony?' Peter smiled. He couldn't believe it. 'H-how are you here?

Tony remained still. Not moving. Not blinking. He was a statue, with a fixed glance.

Then Peter noticed a reflection in Tony's eyes, it was of the battle. Peter turned around, and standing there, overshadowing him and Tony was Thanos. 

'Tony RUN!' Peter shouted, but Tony still didn't move, then he realised... this was the moment when Tony died, and there was nothing he could do to stop it...

'You get me!' Tony shouted

Peter turned and saw Thanos. Peter turned back to Tony,

'No, no, no! Tony please please!' he began to cry,

He turned and saw Natasha pleading, 'You don't have to do this!'

Peter turned back to see Tony, in a stern voice he said 'I do'

Tony's glance didn't leave Thanos.

'You don't Tony! It's all my fault, I'm sorry!' Peter cried. Peter watched as he saw Tony, hover momentarily then, drop dead. 

'NOOOOO! Tony!' Peter fell to his knees, he had just witnessed Tony's death, but the worst part was... he could do nothing to stop it. 

Peter shook his head 'NO!' Tears fell down Peter's face, 'Tony...please...'

'Peter!' a voice echoed.

'Peter! Wake up!' 

Peter felt dizzy, then woke in a cold sweat, to see May.

'Peter... a-are you alright?'

Peter looked around, still dizzy, and remembered where he was. 

He became confused, it had felt so real. He start to breathe heavily.

'Peter....?'

Peter ran his fingers through his hair, looking around confused, still having trouble breathing.

May stood up to turn the lights on, then returned and sat next to Peter.

'Peter, breathe...'

'How...' Peter shook his head, 'No... ' he looked around 'Tony...?'

'Honey, look at me' he faced her.

'You have to tell me what happened'

'I-I don't know... he was there, then I saw him and he hovered and then...' tears welled in Peter's eyes 'Then...-'

'-He dropped dead...' May spun around to see Wanda, she was looking into Peter's mind, a face full of terror.

Peter nodded then turned to May, 'I saw him die May...'

May hugged Peter, he cried into her shoulder. 'Oh Peter...'

'...and I couldn't do anything... just like Uncle Ben...'

'Peter, what happened, that wasn't your fault' May said gently.

Peter nodded, 'It was May...'

May looked at him, confused. 

'...I wasn't quick enough, I didn't catch the robber in time, he ran right by me. I saw Uncle Ben die... and I couldn't stop it either...' Peter looked down, tears slowly falling down his face.

'You were Spiderman then? Peter you were only 15!'

Wanda was still reading Peter's mind, I couldn't save Uncle Ben, I couldn't save Tony, I can't save anyone. Maybe I'm not cut out for this after all...

Wanda walked over to Peter and knelt infront of him. She put her hand on his shoulder, comfortingly.

'You have saved people Peter, you're not hopeless'

'Name one person I've saved'

'Liz's dad, your decathalon team at Washington and... me'

Peter looked up at Wanda, an expression of confusion and surprise.

'What do you mean?'

'Well... if it wasn't for you saving Tony from Thanos by changing your suit, Tony wouldn't of been there to save me when... when Sam, Steve and I got ambushed...' she looked at the floor, she was saved, but Sam and Steve weren't.

She played with her fingers, 'Peter... you also did one more thing...'

'What's that?'

'Well before you left you said you had something to fight for, that was your aunt, well Peter you gave us something to fight for... and that was you... All Tony wanted was for you to be safe. He was keeping in contact with Steve and keeping us updated on how you were doing, while you were in a coma. Peter at first Tony said he was fighting for the world, but you gave him something more valuable to fight for... a son'.

Tears welled in Peter's eyes, and he smiled, Wanda continued.

'Peter you showed us all that we had something to fight for, because in the end we weren't fighting for the world. We were fighting for each other'

'It's just that he was right there, and I couldn't do anything'

'I know how you feel Peter.'

'You're reading my mind again aren't you?'

'No. Peter I know how you feel, because I was there. While you were in a coma, I was there. I walked around a corner and saw him hovering, then drop dead.' she said with a sigh 'I couldn't do anything to save him, it was already too late.'

'I'm-I'm sorry I had no idea'

'Don't be Peter.' she looked at a digital clock on his bedside table, it read '3:00am'. 

'I don't think the both of us are going to go back to sleep, how about we go downstairs' 

Peter turned to May, she had dozed off. Wanda helped Peter up, and Peter gently covered her in a blanket. 

Wanda walked with Peter downstairs to the main quarters. 

They continued to talk about the war, and the more they did the more they both became at ease. It was nice to finally talk to someone who understood what each other had been through.

'Peter?...' Wanda asked, her tone changing to a bit more quiet and nervous, as if she was bringing up something she was forbidden to, 'What was it like? When you were in the coma, I mean, because they say you can still hear people...could you?'

Peter nodded.

She continued 'They said you been under control by Th-Th...Thanos' 

No one had said his name since the war. 

'What did you see?' she asked solemnly 

Peter looked to the floor, 'I saw it all...from his eyes. I saw the w-whole battle, I saw people fall and rise again. I saw you, Sam and Cap fall, but not get up again. I saw Tony die, I-I saw it all...', tears streamed down Peter's eyes. 

'Oh Peter... I had no idea' Wanda said in a voice of shock, comfort and terror, giving Peter a hug.

'Your the only one that k-knows' he cried into her shoulder.

Wanda cried too, she thought she had seen the worst of it... but there was worse.

She finally brought herself to speak, 'P-Peter? Did you s-see V-V-'

Peter nodded slowly, still crying. 'I-I did... He...he said he loved you b-before h-h-he...' Peter drifted off, he couldn't bring himself to finish.

'What d-id he say?'

'He s-said "If you want to take me...f-fine, but don't hurt W-Wanda." I-I still don't know how, but it was like he sent me as message... he said "Peter, tell Wanda I love her... she was my thing to fight for... I hope you f-feel better, Vison..."

Wanda smiled and cried in Peter's shoulder, '...and he was m-mine...'
