The Peace of Our time...

Look how well that is working out..

It was now that next day. Bucky continued to hold little Lillian in his arms as we waited for everyone else to come back. Tony paced back and forth trying to decide what to say to peter and what to do with Charlotte. Suddenly they heard the door open downstairs.

"You Guys Really did it." T'Challa said walking up the steps.

"T'Challa!" Mia yelled running into his arms and he spun her around.

"I'm so happy you are back." She said hugging him tighter.

"It's good to be back. What did you guys do?" T'Challa asked Putting her down. Tony was about to say something when peter walked up the steps. Tony's heart dropped as he saw the scared expression on peters face.

"Welcome Back Kid." Tony said.

"What happened?" He asked.

"You disappeared from th-"

"No not that. Somethings wrong." He said looking around.

"W-what do you mean?" Tony asked softly.

"Where is Charlotte?" He asked panicking.

"Kid..." Bucky began to say but couldn't even finish his sentence.

"Mr. stark where is she?" Peter asked loudly his voice breaking.

"Kid....it was the only way." He sighed.

"Wait- you just let her- no. That's not right. That's not right." He said running upstairs.

"What is he on about?" Genevieve asked walking up the steps.

"Charlotte lost him, now he lost her...again." Bucky sighed.

"Where is She?" Peter asked looking through every room.

"She is on the last one, on your left." Tony sighed. Peter slowly opened the door. He dropped to his knees as he saw his fiancé's lifeless body laying on the bed peacefully. Her arms with scratches and her face too. He broke down and couldn't move.

"I'll go talk to him." Tony said quietly and ran up the steps.

"Kid..." tony sighed kneeling next to him. Peter couldn't even say anything. He just hugged tony and cried into his chest. Tony didn't even flinch and just hugged him back. Tony could feel peters scattered and heavy
Breathing as he cried harder and harder.

"I know.. I know.." tony said his voice breaking as he rested his chin on peters head.

"Why her? Why did she have to be the one?" Peter asked almost impossible to understand for how hard he was crying.

"Shhhh, breathe kid. Try to calm down." Tony said softly trying not to cry.

"I loved her so much, how can she be dead?" Peter cried. Tony just hugged him and rubbed his back.

"Come on, let's get out of this room." Tony said.

"No, I can't go." Peter said taking a deep breath trying to stop his tears. His face was wet and his eyes were swollen.

"Ok, I'll leave you alone. And if you ever need to talk, please come to me." Tony said standing up and patting him on the back. Peter sat there in the corner of the room with his knees to his chest and continued to sob.

"Spider senses, should have known." Chris sighed.

"I didn't think he would catch on that fast." Mia sighed.

"Anything on Danielle yet?" Tony asked walking down the steps

"Nothing." Bucky said softly.

"How is peter?" Mia asked on the couch with T'Challa.

"Well He isn't taking it lightly, He is still up there crying. He won't leave her." Tony sighed.

*a few hours later*

Everyone fell asleep except for Bucky and peter. But peter was still in the same spot, tears still rolling down his face. Bucky was looking out the window sitting on the same windowsill that him and Charlotte had that deep conversation. Tears filled his eyes as he looked up to see that this time Charlotte wasn't there. Then he heard footsteps. He slowly turned around to see Danielle. He ran over and hugged her.

"Thank god." He said softly.

"You're hair is already longer, how long have I been gone?" Danielle laughed letting go of him.

"Too long." He sighed.

"Are you ok? You've been crying." Danielle said.

"Yeah, no, everything is fine." He said. She paused and suddenly saw into Bucky's mind what happened. She watched Charlotte fall to the ground and die in Bucky's arms. She covered her mouth as she snapped out of it.

"What? What is it?" Bucky asked.

"Charlotte sacrificed herself?" Danielle asked unable to even get the words out.

"I tried to stop her, I did. But you know her, once her mind is made up, it's made up." Bucky sighed trying not to tear up.

"Where is peter?" Danielle asked.

"Hopefully asleep. You need to get some rest. You've had one hell of a trip." Bucky said.

*the next day*

Danielle was the only one awake. She went to the kitchen and got a cup of coffee. But then she started thinking about peter. She slowly walked up the steps and into the room where Bucky said they were keeping Charlotte, and there he was. Still in the exact same position but now he just stared into space. His eyes bloodshot beyond belief and his eyes swollen. His face stained with tears and bags under his eyes.

"Hey peter." Danielle said softly.

"Oh." Peter tried to say but his voice was gone. He cleared his throat and tried again. "Glad to see you're back." He said a light whisper

"Look about Charlotte-"

"You know it's weird. Even though I see her body there I still feel like she is here. But at this point I can't even see anything and who knows where my brain is at." He sighed resting his chin on his knees.

"I'm really sorry." She sighed.

"And I had just proposed to her too. I had bought the ring two years ago but just worked up the courage one week before the world went to shit. She told me everything was going to be ok. But if course she has to go and be the hero." Peter said his voice even more gone which didn't seem possible.

"If you ever need to talk-"

"I know, come to you."
He sighed. She was about to leave when he started again.

"You know there are so many things I wish I could have told her but I was too scared to. So many things I wanted to show her, do with her. I wanted to live my best life with her by my side. Watch some nerdy movie." He said his voice breaking," sitting on the couch as she cuddles into my chest and grabs my hand." He said breaking down. "Her telling me she loved me, and then falling asleep in the middle of the movie." He said laughing through the tears. "She was something else. For one she actually saw something in me and decided to date me of all people." He smiled as a tear rolled down his face. "She brought all of us together, made us closer. She helped everyone with everything, yet she was lonely herself. She thought she was nothing, that she meant nothing to anyone. That if she would leave no one would care. And look how good that's working out." Peter sighed. Danielle stood their saying nothing.

"I'm sorry I'm rambling again. I'm sure you have better things to do." Peter sighed sitting up and wiping his eyes.

"No, actually I have all the time in the world." She said sliding down the wall next to him.

"So, tell me more about you and Charlotte, all of the good memories you don't want to forget." She smiled.
