Promises
Most humans avoid self reflection because it tends to irks their conscious , it shows the reincarnation of their failure.
And that breaks them .
Humans refuse to think of themselves as a creature of vulnerability and suffering unless it gives profit of course . As a businessman who understands profit better than me .
"Do you know very few retain the same essence of innocence after being victimized , after being hurt ?"
Silence Static answers my question.
"Someone fragile and naive will either withstand the trauma , and be corrupted or it will cease to exist ."
"Subject will have to evolve , any species have to adapt to survive." Ah finally an answer , a small one but I was missing our little conversations .
"Does the subject lose it's initial value , since it doesn't have the attractive quality of innocence anymore ?" My words were stained with self doubt and regret .
"The subjects corruption of innocence could might as well be addressed as a metamorphosis . it will have the capability of cause harm but it will be involuntarily not accidentally ."
"Are you mocking me ?"
"Do prey and tell how did you come to a conclusion about being mocked ?" Again the static .
"I thought we were friends ?"
"You have no friends Anthony and even if you had any , I wouldn't be one of them . I despise you ."
I turn off the screen , a scowl certainly itched on my face . my good mood evaporated with leaving no evidence of existing in the first place .
Peter's POV
It felt heavy , my chest . Why can't I breathe ? Why do I feel like this ?
I feel alone .... But why ? I am not alone anymore , I have may and Ned , mj , Mr stark and the avengers . I am not alone .
So why ?
Why can't I move ?
I wake up gasping for air , my clothes were drenched with sweat and it wasn't even hot in here . I rub my face when it hits me where I am .
Shit . I am not at home . at least not at my home . the peter here is dead .
Anthony said they don't have superheroes here that , this worlds peter wasn't spiderman . he was just a normal person then how did he die .
Someone knocked on the door .
"Uh come in ." it wasn't surprising when Anthony entered . since he was the only guy in this building or is he ? I have to ask him when I can go out .
"How are you now ? You passed out from distress last night ." yeah , can't you be a cool dude not remind me .
"I'm fine its not a bi- ." he didn't even let me finish .
"I have been gentler , since you must be in a Vulnerable position . stranded in an unknown place , stuck with a stranger . do not worry peter , I will help you ." I was speechless , that was the most emotion I have seen out of him since I got here .
Wait he used my name !
"Um thank you ." I didn't know what to say . he did say that he will help me get home but now he just said about helping me not about sending me home .
Well it's the same thing .
"I did want to ask when can I go out ." I asked . I can see him twitch a little .
"You can't , at least not without my supervision . we can't have you accidentally destroying this universe now .since there are no official studies about alternative universe . I can't say about the consequences of letting you roam around ." I bit my tongue back , I hardly see how I can destroy universe .
"We still have this world's Parker's family in equation , it will be heartbreaking for them to see their dead nephew ." oh , I can't do that .
"Well , I just wanted to roam around a little ." I felt depressed . I can't even go out . great ,I am stuck here . I should have been more careful , Mr stark were right . I guess I am still too reckless .
"If you do want to leave then you can come with me . it is not healthy to be coped up in a small controlled environment ." I perk up at his suggestion . I can leave and be out of this room .
"Get ready for breakfast , after that we leave . I can't spend most of my time here with you ." I wince , he was here with me all the time .
Anthony's POV
"Get ready for breakfast , after that we leave , I can't spend most of my time with you ." even though I would love to spend every moment of my life in our fortress .
I didn't lie when I said I will be gentler , I will try to be more compassionate this time . I can't make the same mistake as before .
I leave the room , giving him the privacy to get ready .
