After the Snap, the world is without the Armored Avenger, the Star Spangled Man, the God of Thunder, The Archer, and The Spy.
Years later, when an old friend arrives with an idea that gives them a bit of hope and a plan to get the Infinity Stones...
But when nighttime rolled around, Peter found himself in deep thought, as he washed the dishes. He thought about May. He thought about Ned..........and he thought about Tony. That's where his memory held still for a minute. The more he thought about the heroic billionaire, the more he missed him. He remembered the wave of shock that overtook him when he first met Tony. The glee he experienced when he was with them in Berlin....before the fighting began that is. But then, the heart-wrenching pain and sadness from watching Tony die in front of him came back as well.
It was only the faucet hose spraying him that pulled him from his thoughts. He immediately reacted by turning off the water and placing the hose back in it's spot. He noticed that he had partially drenched himself, the right side of his shirt to be more precise. Mentally slapping himself, he dried the plate in his hands before placing it in the dish rack on the counter next to the sink. As he set it down, his eyes drifted upward to a picture of Howard Stark on a small shelf that was in a corner. He gave it a good look and couldn't help but notice, again, just how much like his father Tony looked.
He hummed a tad, a half smile coming up. "Hey, Mr. Stark."
But after he said that, his eyes drifted to another picture behind the one of Tony's father. This one hit differently though.
That smile gone and a sigh let out through the nostrils, Peter hesitantly reaches up and pulled the photo down to get a better look at it. It was a picture of him and Tony with a Stark Industries Certificate that Peter had received on joining the "Stark Internship" way back in 2017.

As he looked on at the picture, tears began to well up and his heart started to hurt. And the more the hurt, the more Peter understood what Nikki meant when she said what this thing was. What this plan, this Time Heist meant. Not just to him, but to everyone on Earth. Heck, to everyone in the UNIVERSE!
Bringing his head up and staring ahead with a look of determination, he nodded to himself as he knew what had to be done.

A little later, Peter sat down and fired up his computer/holo-table in the living room, generating a holographic model for a potential time machine that could be compatible with quantum fluctuation.
"Ok uh, can we look at a mod inspiration, please? I wanna see if it checks out." He said to his AI, KAREN. He still used her and was really happy, it helped to have someone to talk to like her. "Uh.....recommend one last sim before we pack it in for the night. This time, in the shape of a Mobius strip, inverted, please."
"Processing..." She replied.
The hologram that was projected above the table showed the Mobius strip-shaped structure being formed with multiple fluctuating panels on it. Peter nodded at it before turning it around with his hands and worked on certain parts.
