What if Peter Parker didn't dust. What if he had those 5 years with his mentor and father figure. What if he was there for Morgan. What if Peter Parker survived.

It was one of the scariest days of my life. Though if you ask me I was doing a great job hiding it. The orange hue covering the plant hit the rocks and ground like my foot hit the Titans purple face. I remember thinking maybe we lost the stone but we're all okay we're all alive. I ran over to Mr.Stark when my then unnamed Spidey sense went haywire. Then the the girl who I was still scared would lay eggs in me who I would later learn was named Mantis said the words that would change my life.

"Somethings happening."
With that she was gone a small fraction of her remained resting in Quill's palm. Quill himself soon following suit vanishing into the wind. One by one everyone around me ceased to exist one moment there the next moment gone. For a second I was scared I would dust. But I fought to stay for as long as I could and luckily it was enough. I remember sitting by Mr. Stark asking him what was happening as I placed a comforting hand on his shoulder. I had never seen him cry but I was now. A single tear rolled down his face as his palms rested against his face.
Then Nebula stepped in quietly telling me "he did it."
She didn't need to elaborate for me to understand that Thanos won half the universe was gone and I couldn't help but blame myself.

23 days day 23 of weird space food and the vast darkness of the galaxy lurking outside the window. Day 23 of my inhumanly fast metabolism eating away at the little food I had in my stomach leaving me constantly hungry. I was basically skin and bones at this point though I did a good job hiding it from Mr. Stark with Quill's baggy sweatshirts. If Mr.Stark had actually seen the shape I was in there is no way he would have taken a single crumb for himself. Then he would starve to death and it would be all my fault. So baggy sweatshirts it was. Eventually we ran out of food and now we're just waiting for the remaining oxygen to follow suit. We were hopelessly adrift in space with no hope or chance of survival. Now all we could do was hope we would pass out and go peacefully from the lack of oxygen before the dehydration failed all our organs.

The day had arrived in a few hours I would be dead and I had a long time to think about how I would spend them. I slipped on my suit and recorded my final messages hoping somehow someday it would reach them.

"Hey May it's.... it's um it's it's Peter. I don't know if you will ever see this I don't even know if your...... I just thought I would record you a little message. Just know that I love you more then anything and I am so so sorry. You don't deserve this and I know that this is really really wrong and messed up. But I kinda hope you that you you know. I just I spent so long trying so hard to stop you from worrying and the thought that you are worrying about me right now wondering if I am coming home. I just can't stand the thought of you being alone now that I am gone. Please for me find someone. Don't spend the rest of your life crying over me go out and live your life. Thank you so much for everything you have done for me I can't tell you how thankful I am. You didn't have to take me in you raised me. Comforted me when I was sad celebrated with me when I was happy and watched SO MUCH Star Wars with me despite not understanding a single second. You always supported me no matter what. Always forgave me no matter what I did. Still loved me even when I didn't deserve it. Please please don't blame yourself. You didn't do anything wrong you were the best aunt the best mother a kid could ask for. I should probably go I have a lot of these to make and not a lot of time. Goodbye I larb you."

I recorded two more one for Ned and one for MJ. They were pretty similar except you know with there key differences. For Ned's I talked about the great memories and the day we first became friends. I told him it was up to him and who ever else knew I was Spider-Man whether or not to release the info to the public. I kinda hoped they wouldn't I didn't want to think about what some of my enemies might do to them if they knew who I was. MJ's I told her I liked her I mean what did I have to lose I was gonna die what was she gonna do reject me. You can't reject a dead guy that's just weird. I also told her I was Spider-Man I mean it was pretty obvious due to the video. But hey you can never be to careful.
