Rotting Apples {Peter Parker & Avengers Marvel Fanfic}

"It takes one bad apple to spoil the bunch-
It takes one bad memory of you,
To spoil the rest."
-One Bad Apple, by Me :P

"Come let us watch the sun go down
and walk-in twilight through the orchard's green.
Does it not seem as if we had for long
collected, saved, and harbored within us
old memories?"
-The Apple Orchard, by Rainer Maria Rilke

Eris stopped walking and stood right in front of him, and from thin air, offered him an apple. It was the purest gold he had ever seen, almost as bright and fiery as her eyes. Peter stared at it for a moment, before looking back up at her. "An apple? What kinda Snow White stuff is this?"

"It's not just any apple." She smirked, rolling it between her hands. "It's your ticket out of this hellhole; you take a bite, and you find yourself back where you belong. Before Mysterio, before the Blip, before Thanos! Everyone will be happy and alive. . .Thor. Clint Barton. Bruce Banner. Steve Rogers. Natasha Romanoff. . .Tony Stark."

Peter's fingers twitched. He wanted to snatch the apple from her hands right then and there. But. . . "What's the catch?" He asked, his eyes glued to the golden apple.

Eris grinned. "A small price to pay, I promise. Really, I'm being generous. I just want the world's memories of Spider-Man. Everyone will forget who Spider-Man is, and you will make sure no one remembers!"
