Peter's P.O.V🕷
No I was not okay. On high-school's television, a whole bunch of photos were making a last tribute to Tony Stark... the photos, videos and stories were scrolling by and I could not move. I had the unpleasant feeling that I was shot repeatedly without being able to defend myself. A great emptiness settled in me. In spite of me, the television pictures were becoming blurred and soon I found myself facing Thanos again. Gigantic and really very impressive, he was in front of me. He dominated me by his size but also by his indisputable strength. My heart suddenly accelerated, I felt so powerless against him. That's right, I was just the little spider friendly neighborhood... never I would have imagined one day to face a titan as dangerous as sadistic. I still remember that whole scene. I remember when Doctor Strange brought us back to Earth with huge orange circles. I was so happy to find all the people I love! Mr. Stark is the first one I saw, I was so happy to meet him again. And honestly, I know that he too was happy to see me again, he took me in his arms. Happy keeps telling me that I was like a son for Mr. Stark, but what he really ignores, and will never know again, is that I considered him my father.
Beside me I felt Michelle and Betty getting closer. They knew that I knew Mr. Stark because I had told them that I was doing an internship at Stark Industry, only Ned really knew the bond that united me to him. Four months have passed since the fight against Thanos. Four months that I dropped my suit. Four months that I refused to become the spider again and nobody blamed me for that. In all honesty, I'm lucky to be well surrounded by Aunt May and Ned, who have unfortunately also disappeared for five years. Together, we learned to make up for lost time and to rebuild our lives. We have become even closer. I can talk to them openly about the fact that I miss Tony Stark terribly. I'm not afraid to start crying when I mention his name in a discussion. Since his death, something in me has broken forever. I'm not the same Peter as before, I'm no longer the nice little spider in the neighborhood. No. My stay in space left me much deeper sequelae than I had imagined. I would have done better to stay in the bus. But I could not abandon Mr. Stark. He needed me. There is not a day going on without me thinking of him.
"Peter, I'm sorry I had to talk about him but..."
Betty was trying to talk to me but I was not listening. It was only when Ned planted his hand on my shoulder that I realized I was holding my breath for all that time.
"Dude, breathe."
I looked away from the television. I do not want to see more. Unfortunately, I knew that Ned was still waiting for me to explain the fight against Thanos that I had led with the other Avengers, but I did not want to talk about it. I wanted to forget everything. I wanted to remove this memory from my life.
"...we have not only lost Tony Stark, but a woman also made a choice to save everyone... Black Window..."
I could not stay in this corridor, which became too small for me.
"Peter come with me."
Without realizing it, Ned led me across the hall to the entrance to our high school. Michelle and Betty followed us.
"Hey guys! What are you doing??" Michelle asked, frowning.
I did not answer. I was just looking at Ned and I felt like my heart was about to explode. As if it were possible for me one day to become the one I was before. Traumatic images would remain for life branded in my memory. I was sorely lacking in air.
"We need space!!" Ned said, glancing at me furtively.
It was not difficult to see that he was really worried about me. And he was not the only one. Aunt May was also very concerned about my mental state. According to her, I had already endured so many difficult events, she feared that one day, I can not get up.
"But the director is going to start his speech and..." Michelle whispered, crossing her arms.
She did not have time to finish her sentence that a huge jolt followed by a violet light was falling from the sky. For several minutes, I thought I had become blind. Michelle nearly collapsed on the floor.
"What is that???" Betty yelled, she shielded her eyes from the blinding light.
A huge noise like a helicopter sounded above us four. I practically forgot about my panic attack and I raised my head. I frowned.
"Looks like a..." Whispered Michelle, letting her arms fall down her body. "Reassure me too, do you see that?"
I nodded without leaving the huge machine glance.
"It looks like a huge spaceship!!" Exclaimed Ned pointing at him.
But what was a spaceship doing above New-York and above my high school? Suddenly Ned stood in front of me, panicked.
"Do you think they come for you, Peter?"
"Why do you say that? No of course not! I have nothing to do with it!" I said.
"Guys! I think they go down!!!" Said Michelle, backing-up.
Indeed, she was right. People dressed entirely in black threw themselves of spaceship. Instinctively I passed Ned, Michelle and Betty behind me. I felt my spider powers waking up. Something abnormal was about to happen. While I was about to talk to them, I felt something hard hit my head and I slipped on the ground of my high school. My last vision was Ned's and the girls screaming my name.
