The Next Avengers: The Legend(MCU)

The Truth That Hurts

***New Avengers Facility***

Long. That's how it seemed. The walk out and from the ship into the Compound. But that was mainly because that, for them, time had slowed down. And that was because of the....the events that had happened within the past hour......Said events left a gaping hole in their hearts as terrible news had come with it.

The Infinity Stones, the instruments that had helped the Mad Titan, Thanos, or rather, the late Mad Titan eliminate half of life across the whole universe, were now gone. Destroyed. Meaning that the friend that they had lost...that everyone had lost...were gone...for good.

That was bad enough. Now, they had another task. And this one might be harder and more crushing than the last.

***Living Room***

They all sat in silence, mortified and unsure of what to do now. Pepper, Betty, Erik and Darcy had joined them in their moment of silence and sorrow.

Pepper's hormones were already out of flux due to her pregnancy, but this...the news that those lost in the Snap, including Tony...weren't coming back. Now, they all had to wonder what they were going do now that their second chance fell through.

Peter, sadly, knew one hard thing that he had to do. And he knew it would kill him.

"Where're the kids?" He asked.

Everyone's head came up at the sound of those words. The mere thought of it choked them.

"Uh, they're...having a nap." Darcy answered. "Why?"

Peter was about to say when Bruce, who had the same thought, cut in. "I think it's time we tell them."

Throughout the room, everyone's heart dropped when he said that. It was something that they knew would come, but they kept putting it off. And when this "chance" came up, they though it they wouldn't have to. But now...there was no other option.

It was time.

***Jamie and Nikki's Room***

Peter, now out of his Iron Spider Suit and in a hoodie and some jeans, slowly opened the door to the Twins'

"Peter?"

"Hey buddy. Sleep well?"

The five-year-old yawned as he rubbed his eyes as he begin to fully awaken. "Mmhmm."

"Good, good. That's-that's good...Hey uh, can you...come with me? There's something we wanna show you. Your sister and your friends too actually."

At first, Jamie didn't understand on account of him not being fully awake. But then his eyes shot open and an excited expression came to his face as he jumped up out of bed. "Is it about my parents?"

"Uh...well, yeah."

That was all Peter was able to get out before Jamie climbed up to the second bunk and shook his sister awake. "Nikki! Wake up!"

His blonde sister groaned as she opened her eyes to her brother, unhappy from having her nap interrupted. "What, Jamie?!"

"Mommy and Daddy are back!!"
