Endgame Spoilers and possible trigger warning please be careful.❤️
Also this is really long and a mess sorry I felt like making a angsty one shot.

Peter was really excited for his vacation. He needed a break. He was gonna ask out MJ and hopefully get Flash to stop bullying him. Of course Fury had to come and ruin it by making him fight that dumb guy with a fish bowl helmet. The worst part is that he trusted him. But then he dropped a building on him. Not just a section of the building like the Vulture but a whole apartment building right onto his back. Peter had the choice to make it out in time but then other people would have died he knew that so he saved as many people as he could before the building came crashing down.

Peter woke up beaten and bloody on the concrete floor. His breathing was heavy as he tried to move he felt a sharp pain through out his entire body. It was then he realized his soundings. Darkness with the occasional piece of ruble or water dripping down the broken pipes. Then Peter felt the pain the 1000's tons of ruble crushing his spine. His broken hand unable to move and the stinging as his salty tears ran down his cheeks into the fresh cuts lining his cheek bones.

He screamed for what felt like a eternity yet no one came. This left him alone with his thoughts as the pain intensified and the blood left in his body became less and less.  Then came the thoughts he regretted thinking. The thoughts told him.
close your eyes you deserve it.
Be with your Mom, your Dad.
See Ben again.
Stop the pain.
Stop the stress, the sadness, the anger, the fear.
Never be betrayed again.
Never be threatened again.
You won't have to deal with the pain and confusion you have been feeling ever since you got back.
See Mr Stark again.
Close your eyes rest and you will be a hero.
It's ok they will understand just close your eyes.
He could feel himself begin to relax as the shock left his body and his eye lids heaved till he could no longer keep them open.

A flash of white light flooded his view until he found himself in front of his apartment. He felt light and the pain was gone. But he noticed he was no longer in his red and black suit but in his own clothes more specifically a pizza t shirt and long blue unzipped jacket.

He walked inside the door over to the living room being greeted by a slightly younger looking Mr Stark.
"Hey Spiderling" he gave him a soft smile before patting the couch cushion next to him motioning him to sit next to him. Peter quickly obliged sitting next to his mentor before embracing him in a tight hug. After the hug he quickly began talking in his signature mile a minute fashion.
"Wait how are you here? How am I here? Last thing I remember I was in Italy fighting Beck and now I am back in my apartment in Queens. Also all your grey hair is gone and I am not wearing my suit."
"Well here is the thing kiddo" Tony wrapped his arm around Peters shoulders looking him in the eyes. "Well you were fighting Beck a building collapsed and you didn't make it out."
"Wait so I am dead?"
"Not exactly. Right now you have a choice whether you want to stay here with me and your parents and Ben or go back and be with your aunt and friends."
"Wait you know Ben?"
"I met him yeah very nice cares about you a lot like a lot of people here but so do a lot of people back home."

Peter felt tears fill his eyes as a lump formed in his throat and his voice cracked as he spoke. "It's just so hard without you and it's not fair I have lost so much I am tired Mr Stark I am so tired I just want to rest."
"I know Pete I know" he pulled him back into a hug and said "I want nothing more then for you to be happy."before locking his eyes back with his. "I know it would be easy to stay and rest and I will support you in whatever you decide but you are a hero Peter and sometimes hero's need to make the hard choices."
"I just don't think I can go on with out you I am not that good a hero anyway I mean i'm no you I am not anybody's hero."
"Now you know that is not true. You are a amazing hero you save so many people. Well you were gone the entire city was devastated Peter. You are one of the bravest smartest kindest people I have every met and your only a kid. I am so proud of you. So is Ben and your mom and dad."
"Really?"
"Of course and I am not going to lie to you and say it's gonna be easy going back. You got hurt pretty badly Kid and that's gonna take a while to heal even with your speed healing." But think of all the stuff you are going to miss if you stay."
"Like what?"
"Well for starters you still don't know how to drive."
"I don't need to learn how to drive I swing everywhere anyway."
"What about your prom or your graduation?"
Peter wanted to protest but couldn't find the right words he wanted to see everyone again so badly but he didn't want to leave.
Tony continued with all the things he would miss. "What about Ned and MJ don't you want to go on dates with MJ and build Death Stars with Ned?"
"Of course Mr Stark but...." Peter was cut off by a sound ringing in his ear.

"Peter?! Peter where are you?! Peter!?" Ned screamed as he pushed through the ruins of the building looking for his best friend.
"Ned I found him he's over here!" MJ screamed in response
Ned ran over to the girl quickly kneeling down and reaching towards his friend.
"Don't touch him." MJ said sweating his hand away. "We don't want to make it worse."
"How is he?"
"I am not a doctor but it doesn't look good I don't know how we can get him out without hurting him worse." MJ stoped talking and her breathing hitched as she bent forward to feel the boys neck checking for a pulse.
"What?" Ned could see something was wrong.
"He's barley breathing and his pulse is almost non existent if we don't get him help soon he is going to die!"
"Don't say that he's gonna be okay!" Ned shouted at her in denial.
"I am going to try and find help stay with him try and wake him up."
MJ left and Ned did his best to attend to his friend.

"Hey Peter it's Ned I need you to stay with me okay help is on the way we're gonna get you help I promise you just need to stay with me."

Peter flashed back to his apartment couch and was once again sitting with Mr Stark.
"You okay?" His mentor asked him.
"Yeah it's just Ned and MJ found me in the rubble and I don't know what to do."
"Do what you think is right Peter I know you will make the right decision."
"Are you sure I will make the right decision what if I go back and something happens and if I stay here I can never go back."
"Peter if you choice to go back you will come back here one day and see everyone again but if you stay here that's it I just want to make sure you understand that before you make your decision."
"I do I promise I do it's just." Peter trailed off again as Ned's voice returned.

"Pete come on you can't leave me you promised when we go back home we could have a movie night and binge all the movies we missed. Just hang on a little longer help is on the way. Tears fell down Ned's faces as he started at Peters almost lifeless body. "Hey and if.....when you wake up I will even have a Star Trek marathon with you and we can go try shawarma. Ned let out a soft chuckle before returning to crying. "Please Peter....I'm sorry" Ned then broke down in a sob begging his friend to stay with him and just wake up and promise he will be okay.

MJ came running back to the scene shortly after this and quickly realized Peter was not doing well and was doing much worse then when she left. She put her hand on Ned's shoulder and knelt down next to her unofficial boyfriend. She leaned in and kissed him on the forehead. Before she began to speak "You and your heroics always sacrificing your self for others. She smiled softly hopping he could see her somewhere unknown to her he could. "You know that's part of the reason I like you so much loser you are willing to put other above yourself and you care so deeply for everyone and everything even complete stranger. You may not be the best at keeping a secret but you are one of the kindest people I have ever met. You are my hero Peter Parker you always will be no matter what."







As Peter flashed back in front of his mentor tears streamed down his uncut face disappearing into the cushion below. "I made my choice."
Tony looked at him readjusting himself to look his kid in they eyes. "And?"
"I wanna go back."
"Are you sure?"
"Positive."
"Okay then all you have to do is walk through that door and you'll wake up back home."
"Okay sounds easy enough."
"And promise me one thing look after Morgan for me be there for her because I can't she could really use a big brother like her to look out for her."
"I promise and thank you...for everything." Peter told his hero. Tony gave Peter a soft smile as the teen began to make his way towards the door. Peter had his hand wrapped around the door knob and was about to open it when he heard Tony's voice from behind him.
"And one more thing. I love you kid."Tony gave him a loving smile
"Love you too Dad" Peter respond returning the smile to his father figure before turning and walking out the door.

Peter was once again greeted by the white light as pain raged through his body and it became heavy once more. A soft groan escaped Peters lips as he came to. He slowly lifted his eye lids to see a white bland ceiling. He did a quick scan of the room but he stoped when his eyes landed on May sitting at his bed side. Peter slowly lifted one of his fingers on his good hand and despite all the tech managed to place it on top of his aunt's hand. May's eyes shot up meeting her nephews and tears filled her eyes.
Peter respond with a simple "Hey."

This was really bad but I just wanted to get my ideas out on paper. Sorry if it doesn't make any sense it's like 1 in the morning. Also I had no idea how to end it. Let me know if you want a part 2!
