The blip (sequel to my stupid spider-boy)

Chapter 7

(Ferryn's P.O.V.)

I just sit there on my knees, letting the tears run down my face as I watch people and the aliens just fade into dust. I can't believe what is happening. Wait. No. Dad. Peter. I don't even know if they made it. I sit back on the grassy hill, pulling my knees up to my chest and cry even harder. I feel my powers start bubbling up with the emotion. The suit was absorbing the over power but I still felt all the pain. I haven't overpowered in a very long time. Someone came to sit next to me and wrapped an arm around me. I look up to see Nat and I turn to hug her. She pulled my close and brushed her fingers through my hair, whispering the same things Peter would to help me. At this point my suit was glowing from all the energy it was taking in. I needed to release the energy, that was the only way I could get over this. Without Peter that was the only way. I slowly pull away from Nat.

"I, I uh. I need to fly it out." I try to explain as I stand up. Steve looked worried for me. He had never seen me like this. Nat understood.

"Yeah you need to let it out before it gets any worse." She said, wiping a tear away from my face.

"Whatever you need to do but we need to get you back home." Steve said, putting his hand on my shoulder. I sucked in a shaky breath and nodded. 

(Tony's P.O.V)

I have cried so much over the past several days. We lost the war. I lost the kid. And I don't even know who is left down on earth. I don't know if Pepper or Ferryn made it.  I might not ever know. I'm stuck out in space with this blue robot, Nebula. Neither of us can fly the ship. I'm trying to pass the time and get my mind off things by teaching her random old games from when I was younger. I thought her paper football. It was quite frustrating but it kept me busy for a while. I have been recording videos on my suit so if someone ever finds us Pepper and Ferryn might get them. If they are still there. I sit down at the front of the ship with my helmet.

"Hey Miss Potts. Ferryn. If you ever find this recording...don't post these on Social media. It's gonna be a real tearjerker. I don't know if you're ever gonna see these. I don't know if you're still..." I pause to take a deep breath, trying to keep myself together. "Oh, God. I hope so... Today's day 21. No, Uh 22. You know if it wasn't for the existential terror of staring into the literal void of space, I'd say I'm feeling a little better today. Infection ran its course, thanks to the Blue Meanie back there. Oh you'd love her, Potts. Very practical, only a tiny bit sadistic. So, the fuel cells were cracked during battle and we figured out a way to reverse the ion charge and bought ourselves about 48 hours of flight time..." I rub my face in frustration and look back down at the helmet that was filming. "Uh, but now it's dead in the water. Thousand light years from the nearest 7-Eleven. Oxygen will run out tomorrow morning." I say and my breath starts to become gagged from the tears forming. "And that'll be it... I'm sorry Ferryn. I couldn't save him. If I could have traded with him.. I would have for you. I know it's not my fault, and there was nothing I could do about it, but I feel like I could have at least done something more....Pep, I know I said no more surprises but I gotta say I was really hoping to pull off one last one... but it looks like... well, you know what is looks like. Don't feel bad about this. I mean, actually, if you grovel for a couple weeks.. And then move on with enormous guilt.." I held my head in my hand. "I should probably lie down for a minute. Go rest my eyes....Please know, when I drift off, it'll be like every night lately. I'm fine, totally fine.... I dream about you two.. It's always you." I say before I turn off the helmet. I sigh and pull my jacket over my shoulder like a blanket, like I always do, and lay down on the hard metal ground. Knowing this would be my last night here....

(Ferryn's P.O.V.)

I managed to fly most of the way back. It was quite peaceful. Just flying through the air and using all the stored energy from the suit made all the pain from overpowering melt away. Eventually I had to get in the plane and the  flight back was quiet. No one said a word. Nat, Steve, Dr. B, Thor, and I were the only ones left to fly back. Well and the raccoon that came with Thor. I haven't been introduced to him yet, I'm guessing he's an alien raccoon or something.  When we landed Pepper was outside waiting for me. When I saw her I started crying all over again and ran to her.

"You're ok. Oh thank God you are ok." She whispered as she hugged me tightly.

"We lost.. So many people are gone... and I- I don't even know about Dad.. or Peter." I cry as we hug and she rubs my back, trying to comfort me. I was trying so hard not to let my powers flare up again. But I failed and felt the pain come back.

"Are you alright?" She asks as we pull away and she sees my eyes and suit glowing.

"Yeah, it's just all of this is overwhelming and it makes my powers go crazy." I sigh as my muscles tense up. "I'm gonna go fly this off, I'll be back." I say as I fly away from her. They all watch me with worried faces as I fly away. I'm scared this is gonna be a new normal. After several minutes I finally feel back to normal. I land on the roof and walk into the building. I walked to my room and changed into some sleep clothes. I leave my cuff things still on just in case of another overpower. I find my phone to find it flooded with texts. Pepper wanted to make sure I got back inside safe and that I could come stay with her for the night if I wanted. Pepper was always a mother figure to me and helped me through the things that Dad just didn't understand. I had lots of texts from Ned and MJ but they all stopped many hours ago. I bit my lip, trying not to let the emotions take over. They stopped texting right before the snap. They didn't make it. I take a few deep breaths to see the last unopened texts. They were from an old friend that I hadn't talked to in ages. Harley. He helped my dad a few years back and dad had introduced us when he came back. He was my age so Dad wanted us to be friends. Whenever something dangerous started to happen in the city Dad would send me out to Tennessee to hang with Harley to keep me away from the fight. Anyway Harley and I hadn't talked in over a year, we both got busy and lost touch.

'Ferryn do you know what is happening?' 'Do you know what that thing is that is all over the news.' 'are you ok?' 'Ferryn my mom and sister they're gone.' 'What is happening? I texted Tony and he isn't answering, please tell me you two are alright.'

His texts were short and probably rushed. I took a few deep breaths, trying to keep my emotions in check. After several visits with his family I had gotten close with his Mom and sister. I decided it was best to call him.

"Hey Harley." I say sadly when he picks up the phone.

"Ferryn, you're alive. What happened? Where did everyone go?" I told him a brief explanation of what had happened over the past few days and I could hear him crying.

"I'm sorry, about your family. I tried to stop it. We all did.." "Ferryn, don't go blaming this on yourself. It's not your fault." He tries to convince me.

"I know, but it is hard to believe it." We are both quiet for a second. "Are you gonna be ok?" I ask, breaking the silence.

"Can I come stay with you?" He asks quietly. "I don't think I can just stay here without them."

"Of course. After all the time I spent at your place, I think it's your turn to come up here." I say trying to lighten the mood. "I'll come get you, pack up I'll be there soon."

"Thank you Ferryn, I'll see you soon." He says and hangs up.

A/N: If you didn't know Harley is the little kid from Iron Man 3 he also shows up at the end of end game. I re watched all of the MCU movies recently and found some pieces of those movies that I forgot about and want to use for this story. Anyway, thank you for reading.
