OKAY YOU'VE BEEN WARNED

So I just felt like...that end scene with Stark and Peter was just perfect. It was heartbreaking, but for me it was the most potent death scene in the entire movie (though I may be biased cuz they're my favorites, have been since I was little). I just wanted to experiment a little bit and write out what Peter was feeling during those final moments.

Also, it's getting late where I'm at, and this has only had a few read-throughs, so if it's rough, that's why. Constructive criticism is welcome, flames are not. If you don't like it, you don't have to read it.

I don't own these characters, though I wish I did.

The dust settled around them, and Peter reached out to helped Stark to his feet, making sure to avoid jostling the wound as much as he could. As the billionaire straightened and then stepped away with a limp, Peter suddenly got a strange feeling that came from somewhere deeper than his bones.

"Something is happening." Mantis' voice was echoey and ominous as it floated through the air. It was as if the bug lady had picked up on what Peter's senses were detecting too. Then, without any warning, the woman vanished, turning to dust before their eyes and leaving Starlord's arm grasping an empty bit of space. Peter's mouth dropped open, but things weren't over yet.

"Quill?" That was the last thing Drax said before he also vanished, and Starlord turned to look at Stark and Peter with wide eyes.

"Steady, Quill," Stark cautioned. Within moments, Quill was gone as well, leaving only a few people left on the planet. Suddenly, Peter felt a sharp pang in his stomach, and he felt like he was going to be sick. He fought hard against whatever he was feeling, but he got the sense that it wouldn't help him for much longer.

Peter heard Dr. Strange say something to Tony, but the teenager didn't pay any attention. He was too busy fighting the nauseating feeling clawing its way to the surface. He began shaking, out of both pain and fear.

"Mr. Stark?" he said quietly, his dirt-covered face streaked with tears that made their way down his chin. "I … don't feel so good." Peter looked down and realized that just like the others, he was starting to fade to dust.

"You're all right," Tony said. Peter could tell the man was trying to hide the panic in his voice.

His heart rate accelerated, and he tried to take a step, but his legs suddenly refused to support him anymore, and the teenager stumbled into Stark. The boy couldn't help himself as he threw his arms around his mentor.

"I don't know what's happening, Mr. Stark. I don't know what's happening … I don't want to go, please. Mr. Stark, I don't wanna go, I—" Peter was scared, and it was apparent in his voice.

Tony practically collapsed on top of the kid as he lowered Peter to the ground. Peter could see the helplessness in the older man's eyes as more and more of the teenager turn to dust.

He didn't know how, but suddenly Peter knew his time was up. He locked eyes with Iron Man. "I'm sorry, Mr. Stark," he said, a final, single tear escaping down his cheek before it too, faded away. In his final panicked moments, Peter looked around, desperately wishing that he could see Aunt May just one more time before he-

*awkward grin* so... thoughts?

Honestly, I've written a few stories for the Spider-Man fandom, but mostly I've written for MacGyver, so I'm if they were OOC, I just wrote what I saw in the movie. (Also, sorry if I messed the dialogue up, I did my best to get it right.)
