"I'm sorry" I said as I felt myself disintegrate
Then, I was gone. I don't know where but I couldn't feel or see anything. Then there was light and I could feel myself again but I didn't open my eyes.
"Hey kid, you ok?" That voice sounded  familiar
I opened my eyes to a squint and saw the man who called himself doctor strange leaning over me
I opened my eyes fully
"Yeah, I'm good"
I looked around, all I saw was orange, there where no walls and no roofs but still everything was orange
"Where's Mr. Stark?" I asked in a slight panic
"Probably still on titan" the wizard answered
"If we aren't on titan... then where are we?"
"I don't know"
I felt my stomach drop
"Well how are we going to get back, aunt May might be in trouble and Ned and Michelle" now I was defiantly freaking out
"Calm down kid, if we're going to get out of here I need you to be calm"
"ok" I answered simply "Did he win, did thanos win?"
"Yes, he managed to wipe out half the universe"
"Oh man, this is bad"
" I sent the guardians off to check out the surroundings"
" Ok, so we just wait here and sit patiently?"
"Yeah" he replied
A minute of awkward silence pasted. I can't take this anymore. I spoke.
" so what's your actual name?"
" Steven strange" he answered sounding a little exhausted
"Your  last name is actually strange? So if your made up name is doctor strange how'd you get doctor? Where you actually a doctor?"  I said with a sarcastic tone
"Actually yeah" he said with no emotion
"Wait what?" I asked with a surprised but embarrassed tone
He slightly chuckled "And you said your name was Peter Right?"
"Yup"
There was more silence, during that I remembered the feeling of breaking apart, the feeling I had in my stomach then the overwhelming sensation of pain , I remembered Mr. Stark holding me as my legs disappeared.
I felt a tear role down my cheek as a squeezed my eyes shut trying not to burst out crying
"Peter, you ok?"
I took a deep breath in and opened my eyes
"Yeah" I lied as I wiped my tears "uh Mr. Strange, when you disappeared did you feel anything?"
"I felt something coming but after that no"
"Oh"
Just then the guardians came into sight, we got up and started to walk to them
We stopped a meter or so away from them. There was the girl with the antennas, the guy that wore no shirt and star-lord ( I couldn't remember all their names. )
"Find anything quill?" Strange asked
"No, we went straight for at least 20 minutes then came back and there was nothing but orange, orange, oh and more orange." He responded
"That's not good, shouldn't there be other people here?" I wondered aloud
"There should be" Mr. Strange answered
"How old are you?" The man with no shirt on said looking at me
"Drax is that important right now?" Star lord argued
"I was just wondering, he doesn't look any older then 15 so why is he here fighting people?" Drax shot back
"I'm 17, not 15" i said
"We're getting off track here" the doctor snapped his fingers
"What track I see no track only orange" drax said, I don't even think he was kidding, he sounded genuinely confused
"It's an expression drax" quill said in a annoyed tone
"I can feel others presence here, but not close" the insect looking lady proclaimed
"Uh Mr. Strange?"
"Yes kid, and just call me Steven"
"Ok uh Steven, can you see who's here? With your magic?"
"Actually that's a good idea kid" star-lord said
Why was everyone calling me kid? I let Mr. Stark do it because he likes to call me that but why must everyone else do it? For now I'll let it slide
" I can try, my powers aren't very strong in here"
" Mr- I mean Steven,  could you check if my aunt May is here?"
He nodded, closed his eyes and moved his hands weirdly. His eyes squinted.
We all watched in anticipation
"So kid-" Star lord started
I cut him off
"My names peter, not kid" I didn't say it angrily but it was close to it
The lady with antenna gasped
"His names peter too" she sounded awe struck
"My names peter too" star-lord added
He continued  what he was going to say before
"So, Peter, how different is earth?"
"If your saying that footloose is the greatest movie I'd say earth has changed A LOT"
Suddenly Steven gasped and opened his eyes
We all jumped,except drax
"Did you find my aunt?"
Half of me hoped that she would be here so she could comfort me, the other half hoped she was still on earth, safe.
"No" strange responded
I didn't know if I was sad or not
"But I did find a few other people"
"Who?" Drax asked
"Some of the avengers"
