PART 2

Chapter 2x25: Worst Outcome

"Wait hold on, you are telling me his uncle wanted you to take him back to Persia in this state?" – Asked Tony confused – "What about his aunt and his little siblings? Are they gonna see him like this?" – He asked incredulously

"Mr. Stark, I'm sorry but he is..." – trailed Farah chocking on her words before she closed her eyes and took a quick deep breath to calm herself before opening them again – "he is not awake and I don't think it's our decision to keep him in here" – she said

"Well if you are at least taking him back, you should do it silently, maybe Criss Angel right here can help you taking him there" – said Tony pointing at Strange

"I don't meant to bother, I'm already arranging to part at night in a helicopter so we can land on the royal building without calling the attention of the press" – said Farah

"No bother there, I actually will like to speak with his uncle if he has knowledge about the ring, maybe I can help and find a way to explain what happened" – said Strange

"You think he can wake up?" – asked Farah

"He doesn't have any vitals, I don't think he will wake up" – stated Strange a little too coldly – "I just will like to know how whatever happened in the battlefield got off my radar when I saw the possible outcomes of the battle with Thanos" – he explained

"You are just gonna go there and be like "hey even your nephew might not wake up I wanna talk about your family ring"? Then no" – said Farah rolling her eyes at him

"I just think it would be wise if I go after what just happened" – said Strange

"And what exactly just happened?" – Asked Farah confused

"We tried to take off his ring because we thought that maybe that's the key to see if he is alive or not and then some energy pushed all us away" – explained Bruce

"But like...how? If he is not controlling the ring...does the ring have like a mind on it's own or something?" – Asked Farah even more confused now

"They have that theory" – said Tony referring to Bruce and Strange – "I think it might be like a protection kind of deal, like what Thor explained us about the Reality Stone when it possessed his ex or something" – he explained

"Ok well...in that case maybe you can come, but I think me and Thor are enough protection for whatever you are saying" – said Farah to Strange – "however since you are being selfish with your own reason to come, I'm gonna be selfish as well because going there through a portal might be better to be more quiet about it" – she added

"Is settle then, do we part now?" – asked Strange

"No, let me finish some arrangements first and we can part then" – said Farah

"Don't be too long" – said Strange making the Persian girl roll her eyes at him as she walked away from the medical room

"Wait!" – Called out Peter running to meet her outside – "hey, yeah Farah right? I wanna go with you too, I'm just..." – he trailed turning to look at the boy on the medical bed before turning back to the girl – "I wanna make sure he is...fine" – he said

"Peter...I'm sorry but is better if you stay" – said Farah

"Please Farah...I don't wanna leave his side...I just want to..." – trailed Peter tearing up – "I don't want to leave him...I just don't want to" – he repeated

"Peter" – said Farah sighing putting a hand on the teen's shoulder – "I understand, I really do, but this is a private moment for him and his family" – she explained – "but whatever happens, I will call you and bring you to Persia, okay?" – She asked

"Yeah...I guess" – said Peter still looking down and wiping his tears with his hands

"I know this is hard for us, but we need to remain strong and...be grateful for what he did, he save us all and that's something he would be really happy about, that he did the right thing even if it cost his life" – explained Farah and Peter just nod looking at the medical room again to look at Arash – "go and be with him a little more before we part, okay?" – She encouraged with a sad smile before walking away.

Peter turned to walk at the medical room just when Bruce and Doctor Strange walking away from it and just Tony was inside sitting on the chair where the teen was sitting before looking at the Persian boy with a sad look while he had his arms crossed.

"So...nothing changed after whatever that was?" – asked Peter again hoping something did as more time passed

"No, we talking about all the possibilities" – said Tony – "kid...I know this is hard to hear...but I think we must think of the possibility that he may actually be gone now" – he explained before sighing

"I don't believe that" – stated Peter – "if he is dead why his body is still warm? And why his ring is still attached to him? He is not dead Mr. Stark...I can feel it" – he said

"I don't want to think he is dead too Peter but...oh god...I don't know what I'm gonna say to Morgan about this" – said Tony while moving a hand through his hair – "I'm just can't stop thinking about it, how is she gonna take it and how his siblings are gonna take it" – he explained – "for what he told me they are same or almost same age as her...they have already lost his parents and now their older brother? That's...that's not fair" – he added

"No...it's not" – said Peter looking at the Persian boy that was lying on the bed – "Mr. Stark can I...I know I been practically here all these days, but can I have a moment...please?" – He asked

"Sure...yeah...ok" – said Tony standing up but before walking away he approached Arash side and grabbed his hand – "we are gonna get through this Little Prince, everything is gonna be alright" – he said squeezing the hand of the boy a little before he sighed and let him go to walk away, he patted the brown haired teen's shoulder on his way out of the medical room

"Hi Arash" – said Peter taking the seat Tony left empty pulling it close to the bed and grabbing the King's hand – "I know I already be talking a lot in here with you, I mean I ramble a lot...you always told me I do, but you say it doesn't bother you when you are awake so I guess it doesn't bother you still sleep, I mean you are sleep, right? There is no other explanation" – he rambled finishing with a forced laugh

The brown haired boy took a deep breath before looking down at his hand holding the other boy's hand, he felt his eyes water once again as they have been these 5 days, he pulled the hand closer to him and used his other hand to hold the hand of the King too and move to laid his forehead against them.

"There was something I wanted to tell you before this whole mess and is that...I like you Arash" – said Peter – "ever since I met you...I couldn't get enough of being next to you" – he explained – "After those 3 months when you transfer on my school I grown to like you a lot and when you first left after Mr. Stark took my suit...it hurt me a lot because I wanted you to stay and actually even I invited Liz to Homecoming, I wish I had invited you instead" – he said smirking

Peter let out a dry laugh through his tears, he took one of his hands from Arash's hand to clean his tears, then the same hand to trace scar on the boy's arm, he was curious at why the scar had that faint golden glow, he smirked again at his head going to the geeky part of the situation trying to figure out things, then he turned to look at the face of the Persian boy again.

"Then you decided to stay and came back around with me...I was so happy...I am so happy that you are around me because I want you to be with me" – said Peter – "I wanna be with you Arash, I want us to be together...like dating...together" – he continued – "so please whatever this is...fight it, because I know you can, I don't know anybody as strong as you are, you are really powerful and if someone can fight this is you...please..." – he added starting to choke up – "come back to me..." – he cried kissing the hand of the Persian boy – "please come back..." – he repeated leaning his forehead against their hands again.


"So you are taking him back to Persia?" – asked Eddie to Farah

"Yeah...there is nothing else to do Eddie" – said Farah – "besides his uncle sounded very worried and it was an order so I have to" – she added

"Fuck...this is not what I expected when we were doing this whole thing...I thought everything was gonna be alright" – said Eddie running a hand through his hair – "then we lost Black Widow during the time travel mission, we lost Caz during the battle and we lost Captain America as he stayed behind in time taking the stones back...this is all pretty shitty if you ask me" – said Eddie leaning his back on a wall crossing his arms over his chest as his eyes watered

"I know Eddie, but what else can we do? It's been 5 days and he hasn't wake up, not even T'Challa and Shuri with the technology from Wakanda could find a way to do anything for him" – said Farah

"But you just said they try to take off his ring and some energy push them away, maybe that's a sign of something" – said Eddie

"Maybe only someone from royal lineage can take the ring from him in this case, I mean after all Prince Ervin want him back, maybe it's for that and later...the funeral" – said Farah putting her hands on her face to rub her face before move them to go through her hair sighing – "you are right this is pretty shitty" – she added

"See?" – said Eddie pointing out how he was right

"It's just that...he can't just turn into the biggest hero saving everybody to just die" – stated Farah

"When are you parting? – asked Eddie

"In 3 hours, I already talk it with Prince Ervin about Doctor Strange helping us going there and he wanting to talk to him" – said Farah

"Please text or call me whatever happens" – pleaded Eddie

"I will do Eddie" – said Farah – "let's just hope when I call you is for something else and not the worst outcome" – she added


- Zagros, Persia -

"It's been 5 days, when it's the right time to attack?" – asked a huge man with long white hair, his body was painted with white war paint and he was wearing some kind of breathing mask – "I can't just wait for you to do whatever you are doing anymore, for what the Hassansins told me, we don't have around the Ironman suits anymore and the girl that shoots arrows is not around as well, the country is unprotected" – he explained

"Patience my dear" – said a woman with ebony skin and dreadlocks – "our time will come, I could feel something after everybody came back, I'm just waiting for a-" – she started to explain stopping then suddenly a fire that was in front of her light up harder with the flame growing a couple of inches making her laugh at the action

"What the hell was that? What does it mean?" – asked the man confused

"It means that a great power is coming back to this world after a long time and that the time to act...is now" – answered the woman with an evil smile


A/N: It felt sooo weird to write a whole chapter without a word from my boy Arash but well...here we are, the conclusion of Part 2, I know it's bittersweet to leave it like that but trust me it will worth it for Part 3, imagine the last part I wrote that is located in "Zagros" was a post-credit scene lol.
