TIME FROZE FOR ELEANOR. As soon as her ears recognized Peter's voice, the world became slower, and for a moment, the only thing the teenager could hear was her heartbeat. He was alive, probably just a walking distance away, but she couldn't seem to formulate any words, any actions; anything. She fell onto the ground, hiding behind some debris. Many questions had formulated themselves back in Wakanda that she didn't have enough time to think about:
Had Peter survived? Would he be twenty-one now? Had he moved on with his life?
Had he moved on from her?
One thing was certain: he was alive, and Eleanor couldn't be happier about it. A small amount of the still huge weight on her shoulders lifted itself as she was lost in thought. She knew this was the worst timing, she couldn't just stop right there and cry; she had to fight. Eleanor tried her best to gather all the strength and courage inside her system, but it took a while. For a small fraction of time, she simply stared ahead: the thing she wished the very most had finally happened, but she was afraid of what she'd see. She couldn't imagine herself living in a world where Peter and the rest of her friends were five years older than her.
"Are we talking about Page?" Rhodey's voice rang through her ears, bringing her slowly back to reality.
"Kid, are you there?" It was now Steve's voice that her brain recognized.
"Yeah," She spoke, breathing in and out. Her throat felt dry. "I'm here."
She heard cheers from multiple people she couldn't recognize instantly.
"It's good to have you back, kid." Pepper spoke.
Eleanor kept breathing in and out rapidly. Too many things happening too fast for her brain to process.
"Yeah," She muttered. "It's good to be back."
The teenager finally stood up from her position and continued on with her battle. Creatures started rapidly approaching her, so she placed her hands in front of her. Instead of blasting an electric beam as usual, what came out of her palms was a way stronger beam of energy she had on her old suit. The teenager looked at her hands surprised.
"What the-" She questioned herself, looking down at her forearm. She noticed there wasn't any metal plaque to control the intensity. "Mr. Stark, my suit-"
"Forgot to tell you about that." He grunted as he kept engaging in battle. "Ion energy, we're over that. Plasma energy is what's on style right now."
