The blip (sequel to my stupid spider-boy)

Chapter 9

(Ferryn's P.O.V.)

It's been nearly a month since the snap. Things are only getting worse. We still don't know what happened to Dad and Peter. I have now talked to Rocket who is some sort of space raccoon. But don't call him a raccoon, he doesn't like that.  Rocket had lost his tree friend, Groot. His whole team was somewhere in space too. Now that they haven't come to get him he assumes that they are gone too. We have no clue if they are just out there in space with no way back or they didn't make it after the snap. I'm just scared we'll never know. Harley has now mostly adjusted to living here with us. Well as much as you can in this time. I haven't really done anything but sit around the house over the past few weeks. The rest of the team is trying to help people and adjust to the new normal but I can't pull myself to do that yet. It was late and Harley and I were playing a game on the living room floor when we heard something from outside. I look outside to see a giant spaceship landing outside. I ran outside after telling Harley to stay inside. I got outside to see everyone staring at my father as Steve helped out of the ship. I immediately start crying and go to him.

"Dad." I whisper, smiling as I finally get to see that he's ok. He hugs me back weakly and starts to cry too.

"I'm so sorry." He whispers into my hair and I pull back to look at him

"What?" I ask and then realize. "Peter." I say when I realize he isn't here. Dad pulls me back into a hug and whispers that he's sorry over and over. Pepper comes over and hugs us both. I pull away and let them have their moment. I tap my cuffs together to activate my suit, I could feel the emotions building up power. I stepped back and continued to cry. Nat tries to comfort me and I back away. "I- Just... I just- I need a second." I say as I fly off. I continue to cry as I fly around. I can't stop it. I find myself in the woods and land down in front of a huge tree.  I couldn't let the energy release fast enough. I was so upset I would only replace the energy as I let it out. I made a large ball of energy and blasted it at the tree. It blows a hole straight through the tree and I feel relief from the pain. I took a deep breath and was finally able to start to calm down. I fly back to the house with the energy I have left and land on the roof. I deactivate my suit and walk downstairs to see Dad hooked up to an iv and in a wheelchair. They were explaining to dad and the new lady what had happened over the last month. I just stood in the back and listened to their conversation. Dad wasn't acting like himself. He was upset and sick and he should really be resting. He starts to stand and unhook himself from the iv, getting mad at everyone.

"Dad, please just sit down."I try and calm him down while Rhodey does too. He doesn't listen to us and just continues to fight with Steve. He wasn't strong enough to be walking around yet and then he goes and makes it worse just out of anger. He takes off his chest piece and just hands it to Steve and passes out. I know Dad and how he is when he gets this upset. It's still scary to see him like this. Rhodey and I get him set up in bed with another iv and put his arc reactor back in place. I sit on the side of his bed and hold his hand as he sleeps. I watch everyone follow Danvers out of the room and I go to listen. They are gonna go kill Thanos. The blue robot explained where he was and Rocket showed us the planet. They all argue about going after Thanos or not. When they all agreed to go get him I followed.

"Ferryn no." Steve stopped me.

"He killed people I love too, I want to go!" I demanded.

"Yes, but you need to stay with your father. Make sure he doesn't go too." Steve said, not budging. I crossed my arms and tried to look strong. He did too and I knew he wasn't gonna budge.

"Fine, but none of you better go and die on me too." I said, still mad he wasn't letting me go. Steve nodded and followed the rest of the group out to the spaceship. I walked back to Dad's bed and sat down again.
