Chapter Three

WARNING! Hallucinations and angst scenes..

"Breaking News: Death of the World's Best Defender"

"Breaking News: Avengers Disbanded"

"Breaking News: Who Would Now Continue The Legacy Of Heroes?"

These all news bulletins on the screens and posters just shook Peter's heart more. He was walking all the way to school with a unhappy face like he was hopeless yet in a bad mood. He started to have all that guilt-tripping memories that he imagines yet he remembers what they used to do with each other.

They might have quarreled, but they never lost their relationship.

They might have been different, but they fought equally.

They might have been injured, but they never gave up.

Peter was walking in the hallway of the school where others saw him in a grubby mood. They tried to cheer him up, but none helped him, instead, he remembers the past.

"Mr. Stark..? We.. we won.."

"Mr. Stark?"

"..."

"Dad.." Tears started streaming down his cheeks, as Rhodey comforted him.

"You can rest now.." Pepper gives Tony a final kiss on the cheek till his arc reactor died.

The words started echoing into his head, till he reached to the scene of the funeral where they submerge the flower bed to the water as it floats away.

He turns around to see Tony, who smiles at him before he starts to walk in the light.

"No.. NO!" Peter ran to stop him but he falls down till Tony continued working till he completely disappears as the light faded.

Peter's tears streamed down continuously as he cried and weeps heavily, as he felt the atmosphere turning into Hell. He looks up to see Tony, with his half-burnt face, that terrified Peter.

"Why didn't you save me, Peter?" Tony asked.

"Mr. Stark.. I.. I- AAAAAHHHH!" Peter screams in agony as Tony grabs his neck and lifts him up.

"You're going to die with me Parker." Tony growled.

"No! Mr. Stark please! Don't do that! I'm so sorry! That I couldn't save you!" Peter pleaded Tony with his teary eyes.

"Sorry won't change anything Peter. You killed your mentor. You couldn't save him. IT'S YOUR FAULT."

Those words started echoing his head as the figures as other people crowd in front of him and blame Peter.

"YOUR FAULT."

"YOU'RE FAULT."

"YOU'RE FAULT!"

"NOOOOO!" Peter screams through the school hallway as others drew their attention towards him, who was crying heavily after the hallucinations about not saving Tony. Without wasting a single second, he ran off to the boys' restroom as he immediately washed his face. His eyes were baggy and red from crying, till he gripped his head and left the tap open till he cried for ten minutes. That guilt inside him was weakening his own mental health, that greeted him with depression and anxiety attacks, like Tony used to have.

Really regretting himself for the actions he caused, though it wasn't his all fault. Tony desperately wanted to see Peter by creating the process of time travel, not knowing if it might have been his last moments with him. He was never angry at Peter at all, he loved him dearly as a son more than a student, and died for his own sake and life. But, he cannot take it all, he lost his important figures in life.

"I'm sorry Mr. Stark.. I couldn't.. couldn't save you.." Peter shook his head near the wash sink. "Without you I'm nothing.. nothing.." With this, Peter repeated the words he just said.

"Nothing.."

"Nothing.."

"Nothing.."

"..."

"Nothing.."
