No time to explain but make sure to read the bolded message at the end.

3rd Person POV

All around the Avengers base Thanos' forces are turned to dust. Eventually Thanos himself is the last one standing before succumbing to the infinity stones power. And thus he's turned to dust. A roar of victory erupts all over the field. Blood was spilled, tears were wept, bones were broken, wills were pushed. Thanks were being said to those who died to make this moment happen. But unknown to everyone there lay an unsung hero in the heart of where Thanos' forces stood. That hero being none other than Y/N L/N the Scarlet Spider.

Y/N's POV:

Pain. That's all I can feel. Pain courses through my body through every pore. In front of me is the sky. How clear and blue it is. I want to just close my eyes, I'm tired. But it hurts too much. Pain, yes it's a good thing. It reminds me that I'm still alive.

Tony: Kid!

Moving my eyes to the source of the sound I see Mr. Stark over me trying to shake me out of my current state. I want to move, I want to tell him I can hear him. But I can't.

Tony: Hey listen to me it's over. You did it.

He's joined by some strange wizard man.

Strange: Tony who is he?

Tony: He's the Scarlet Spider. I thought we weren't supposed to win this one?

We weren't? How?

Strange: Indeed we weren't supposed to win this one.

Pointing to me he continues talking

Strange: This kid was supposed to die a long time ago. As a matter of a fact he did die but somehow came back.

Tony: So whats that supposed to mean?

Strange: His willpower. His will to keep fighting is stronger than any other living being past present or future.

I try to form words in my throat and I finally push out some audible noise.

Y/N: It...is..isnt...abou.....about.

I lose all my strength and stop talking. That took a lot of me just to speak. I hear someone land behind me and then my head is lifted. It's Carol, man how many times is she gonna pick me up when I've been beaten to a pulp?

Carol: It's not about how you fall. But how you get back up. Right?

I mange a weak nod as Strange and Tony look over to me.

Tony: Vitals?

His AI in his suit tells him something and he gets a rather sad look on his face. That can't be good right?

Tony: Carol can you put him down? He needs to rest now.

Carol seemingly to understand his message sets me down as everyone and I mean everyone gathers around me. Natasha was the first to come up to me and she grabs hold of my hand.

Natasha: You idiot. You goddamn love able idiot. I know why you did what you did. I just wish it didn't have to be this way. And I was really hoping we could-

She pauses and wipes a tear from her eye before composing herself. I made the cold blooded assassin cry.

Natasha: I was hoping we could talk after this. About what happened between you and me...

Even in my weakened state I can still feel my cheeks heat up but she lets go of my hand and Carol comes up to me next. They're acting like I'm dying...oh.

Carol: Hey Web-Head

God I hated that nickname.

Carol: I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to save you. I'm sorry but I wish it was me instead of you. You didn't deserve this. We didn't deserve you.

She gives me a hug which absolutely hurts but makes me feel good inside. She returns to everyone as Steve was the next to talk to me. These people better hurry up I'm losing it here.

Steve: I'm sorry I ever brought you into this mess. I hope you could forgive me kid.

He pats my shoulder and switches with Tony.

Tony: You know it was supposed to be me that was laying there dying. But I owe you my life for taking that from me. I get to see my kid and wife when I get home thanks to you. And I'm...im sorry about all the mean things I said to you. I will make sure the world remembers you. Thank you.

He leaves and one last person comes up to me. The man who I replaced. The man who left big shoes to fill. Peter Parker The Spider-Man.

Peter: I know we don't know each other too well. But thank you, thank you for watching over New York for me. I'll do my best to protect it.

He's going to eventually run into the Black Cat I should warn him. Raising a shaky hand I put something in his hand before letting my hand fall to ground. He turns his palm over to see the rape whistle Ive had to use before. Crystal, I'm coming home.

3rd Person POV:

As the Scarlet Spider's head falls to the side tears and wails erupt from all around our beloved spider. He's given a proper burial next to his sisters grave. His funeral being attended by the Avengers, Gwen, Black Cat, the spiders from the different dimensions, and just random New Yorkers who had been saved by the Scarlet Spider. Murals spring up all around the city of the Scarlet Spider. Even in death he became a symbol of perseverance, a symbol of never giving up. And at the end of the day the world held a moment of silence for the one and only, Scarlet Spider.

Aaaand scene. Thats it guys this is the final chapter of this story. I want to take a moment and thank all of you for making it this far. This story took me just almost a year to complete. I started it as a way to get ideas out of my head. But then it became more than that. It became a story for all of us, we all are the Scarlet Spider and I'll say it one last time. Thank You.
