Black. That's all I remember. Vast expanses of pitch black that seem to twist and ripple with my every breath.
I can hear voices, distant but clear. They seem to merge together so I can't make out any words. But the presence of people wills me to awaken.
I force my eyelids to open, but almost instantly closed them again due to the piercing light breaking through the black.
A small, almost non existent groan escaped my lips and I could feel the flock of people around me. Was I home?
"Hello?" I manage to whisper, still unable to open my eyes.
"Peter? It's Tony. Can you hear me?" I give the tiniest nod and I hear many exhales. "Friday dim the lights. The rest of you clear out we don't want to overwhelm him."
Footsteps retreated to the sliding doors of what I assume is the med bay. I feel Tony's hand on my shoulder, providing me with much needed comfort. After a few minutes I can finally flutter my eyes open.
Tony's face is red and tear stained, but full of relief. "Welcome back Kid." He whispers, his voice cracking multiple times.
I say nothing, I just cling to the baggy AC/DC shirt he is wearing and weep into his chest. I honestly don't know what to feel. There's the obvious relief to be home, excitement to see my family and friends once more. But there is this overwhelming guilt and sadness. I have left Camelot, Merlin. What if I can't find his doppelgängers here? I would have given him false hope and that is cruel beyond belief.
"Sh kid you're okay now." Tony cooed, ruffling my hair slightly. The action makes me weep harder. Oh how I have missed this.
