Peter could see only white.
He thinks he's even hearing the color white.
Huh. Could you even hear colors? He's read about a lot of people hearing colors- okay, maybe not reading, but more like watching youtube videos of those type of stories, and hey! Maybe he should ask Mr. Stark about this, he knows it's not their field but Mr. Stark is a genius and- oh wait…
Mr. Stark. Iron Man. Avengers. Compound. Suit. New. Him. Spider-Man. Ready. Fight-no! Protect. People. Chaos. Thanos.
Was he dead? Oh gods, Aunt May's gonna kill him! Wait, how would she kill him if he wasn't already dead?! Wait, is she alright? Wakanda's facilities is one of the most protected places in the world right now, he's sure she's alright. Well, a lot of the fighting is also centered there but they've worked hard to make it as safe as it can be. Mrs. Potts it there as well. Aunt May is safe. He thinks.
What about Mr. Stark as well?! Wait no, Tony. It sounds really weird his head. He's gotten around to stop saying Mr. Stark but he hasn't gotten the term out of his yet… Argh! Why is he so distracted? He needs to get up and protect the people of New York, as Mr. Stark had said.
How can even get up if he's dead? He tries to do anything but everything is all white and he tries to open his eyes maybe he just hit the ground hard, but wouldn't you just see all black? He knows this from experience. Not even from fighting, it's just from Flash being an asshole. At least he's graduating soon and maybe he'll go to MIT like Mr. Stark- but the world's ending right now… There again with being distracted! Maybe it's from the adrenaline! Meaning he's alive! Or maybe he's dead and theefore cannot feel any pain whatsoever which means he's at his full self again. Whatever that means.
"It's not yet your time, kiddo."
Was that Uncle Ben? He is dead! (Him, not Uncle Ben, well, Uncle Ben is also dead but that's not the point right now.)
"Peter, honey, we know you have an inquisitive mind, but please get up."
Mom? He hasn't heard her voice in so long… He's only remembered little things from when he was young and from the video logs she and dad used to make to help them document their (and his) life. But a video recording doesn't show everything clearly as it is in real life.
"You need to protect New York. I know you regret not being able do anything when our city was first attacked. You were only able to watch as our city got overrun with those things. But now you can protect the city. Prevent others from losing their family. Peter, sweetie, get up and show those monsters what you can do!"
"Your mom's right, son." Dad! "You need to get up and fight. Protect the people. Don't die like us, though. I'm sorry your Mom and I didn't stay with you during the battle in New York. But please understand, that we loved this city and you, so we did anything we could do to help others. We died trying, but that doesn't mean you should too, okay?"
Right. He needs to get up and protect the city.
"Now, stand up, dust yourself off and move."
He's hearing voices now. Not the his parents and Uncle Ben. But actual people now, screaming and crying and running.
The white is fading now. It's turing to gray then to black then his eyes focus and he's in an alley right now on top of a dumpster and he looks up and around and those things are rampaging through the city.
One smashes through the two buildings beside him and he shoots some web up and swings to avoid the falling debris. He's breathing fast and quickly checks himself for any injuries. Some small bruising around his shoulders but that's probably from falling a lot today. Wow. He's still so clumsy he can still can get injured in his suit lined with some vibrainium.
"Kid, are you okay?! Answer me!" Mr. Stark! He's still alive!
"I'm here, Mr Stark! Wait, no I mean, Tony." Darn, he thought he'd gotten the hang of it.
"Kid, I don't care if you call me Mr. Stark anymore. As long as you're alive and breathing, I'm okay. And I know that I said to keep the comm lines clears and only for emergencies, but I need to talk to you. I'm about to do something very stupid, Peter. So stupid, that I think this will be the stupid plan that's going to kill me."
"What! Mr. Stark-"
"No, kid, I've done a lot of stupid things in my life. One was to get you involved in all of this. But, it's time to at least atone for some of those things. Goodbye, Peter. You were like the son I never had. Don't die, okay? If you could, tell Pepper I said hi."
The line went dead.
He needs to move right now. He needs to take out every monster there is in this city. He needs to get to Mr. Stark and help him, wherever he is.
AN Whew. It's hard typing in a tablet. Send some prompts and I'll try to write some.
