PART 3

Chapter 3x7: Not My Calling

Earth-100792


- Persépolis, Persia -

The Persian teen's body elevated from the bed floating in the middle of the room, his eyes still closed unaware of what was happening but then his eyes shot open and he let out a loud scream with another burst of energy coming out of him that once again shook the whole building before his body abruptly stop floating falling on the bed gasping for air desperately.

"Ta...Tamia?" – Stuttered Arash seeing the girl on the floor before he looked around and then his own hands – "what the fuck is going on?" – He asked himself before turning his head at the door when he heard people coming

"Arash?" – asked Ervin

"Uncle Ervin?" – asked the Persian teen surprised

"Oh god...he is awake" – gasped Farah with her eyes watering

"What happened here?" – Asked Ervin looking around confused until his eyes landed on Tamina on the floor – "Farah go and help her" – he ordered while he moved to stand next to his nephew looking at him close before pulling him for a hug that the King returned to the older male


"2 WEEKS?" – Yelled Arash beyond surprised to his uncle, Farah and Strange as they were in his clinical room 10 minutes after the King woke up

"Arash, calm down, you just woke up like 10 minutes ago" – said Ervin

"Calm down? I mean..." – trailed Arash until he stopped realizing something – "...I was about to comment on how I missed 2 weeks when you missed 5 years" – he said blushing embarrassed

"It's fine, I'm just happy that you are alive" – said Ervin

"It feels so weird you saying that like I was death or something...well I guess I was dead but also I wasn't...it's a weird territory" – said Arash – "I actually saw a friend...a close friend...she died during the mission gathering the stones" – he said sighing

"It's okay" – said Ervin grabbing the hand of his nephew

"I'm sorry, I know this is a moment for you two, but I want to ask you something" – said Strange as he was standing on the room as well

"What would that be?" – asked Arash to the man arching an eyebrow he knew very little about this man to be part of his checkup mix

"What happened on the field?" – Asked Strange – "because you see, I saw the possible outcomes and I didn't see you doing The Snap that ended Thanos, the person I saw doing that was-" – he started to explain

"Tony Stark" – interrupted Arash – "I saw it too" – he added

"What do you mean that you saw it?" – asked Farah confused

"Well first I saw it in like a...premonition" – said Arash

"What?" – asked Ervin surprised

"Yeah, it activated itself, I didn't do it, but it were just glimpses of things so it didn't showed to me explicitly what was gonna happened, but then on the battlefield...I was right there when he was about to do it and..." – trailed Arash – "...something happened before I knew it...I...I don't know how I did it...but I rewind time" – he explained

"You rewind time? Like...in the whole battlefield?" – asked Strange a little perplexed

"Yeah...I don't know what happened...but after I did it...I decided to be the one doing it, it was like something told me to and I thought I could take it after helping Bruce when he used the gauntlet providing the shield and healing, after all his scar wasn't a big deal compared to what happened to Thanos after he did it" – explained Arash

"But you have a huge scar on your arm, that I should tell you after all this days it hasn't healed, which is very unusual, I never seen something like it" – said Ervin

"I'm fine" – said Arash with a smile to ease his uncle's worries – "by the way, how is Tamina? I tried to heal her, but I don't know if I did it well" – he asked

"She is resting, but she is fine, don't worry" – said Farah

"Well, then all good then, I should get back on track, right?" – asked Arash

"I think you should rest for now, because tomorrow if you feel better you are gonna have to head back to America in a silent way and then comeback" – said Ervin

"Why the crazy protocol?" – asked Arash confused

"Because people think you are still in America" – explained Ervin

"Don't worry, our little magician here is gonna help us with you going silently to America and we arrange the comeback later on" – explained Farah

"Excuse me, but I have other things to do" – said Strange with a stern tone

"And still you manage to be around for asking questions about the whole mystical part of his powers, so you should at least give us a favor with your portals" – said Farah

"What about the help I already did with the checkups?" – Asked Strange

"The half hour checkups while the rest stayed for 1 hour or even 2? Yeah you are gonna help us" – said Farah

"You two are coming with me to talk this thing a little more civil while my nephew rest" – said Ervin signaling the Persian girl and the former doctor to get out of the room

"Wait! Farah, I...I wanna make a call" – said Arash

"He is at school right now, but he told me he has a free period in 30 minutes, don't worry I will come and help you connect to talk to him" – said Farah with a smile

"Thanks" – said Arash smiling back at her before everybody walked out of the room

"Pathetic" – said a voice making the King look around the room but no one was there

Arash waited in silence in case the voice talked again but nothing happened, he shook his head when he realized that maybe it was his imagination, even if he was sure that he have heard that voice before.


- Zagros, Persia -

Aunty Zahra was shaking something inside her hands and when she throw it on the table in front of her it showed that they were a snail shell, a green sea glass, a pearl, a shark fang and an golden coin, she looked at them carefully waiting for something to happened and then the pearl and the golden coin combusted on fire making her smile.

"Ok...what does that mean?" – Asked General Klompa

"You still don't get it do you?" – Asked Zahra just when the snail shell combusted making the couple turn their attention to it and while Klompa stared confused Zahra just smiled – "he already has a host as I expect it, so we don't need to sacrifice anybody for it" – she explained

"If it's not one of us, how do we get him on our side?" – Asked Klompa

"We set him free and after that we just make the mends as their humble servers, he will help us with anything we want" – answered Zahra

"I don't kneel for anybody, they should all kneel for me" – said Klompa

"Your choice then" – said Zahra walking around the room – "you either kneel for the being that is gonna help us with this idea..." – she started – "...or you stand on its way dying for the dream you wanted to accomplish" – she finished smirking at her husband knowing she is right – "like I say, it's your choice" – she added with a shrug

"What's the plan then?" – Asked Klompa crossing his arms over his chest

"We divide and conquer" – said Zahra with a smirk


- Persépolis, Persia -

"I can't believe is I really you" – said Peter with a smile while cleaning another tear from his eyes with the sleeves of his sweater

"Don't get too sappy Tiger, come on" – joked Arash smiling back at him

"You are crying too" – countered Peter

"Shut up" – said Arash turning to look other way to clean his own tear

"Are you sure you are okay?" – asked Peter

"Yeah, I mean they are only keeping me here today to be sure, but I'm going back tomorrow to Queens with the help of Doctor Strange just so I can make a more dramatic arrival tomorrow" – said Arash – "I'm going crazy here thinking about my brother and sister" – he stated – "besides you, they were the most I missed during the 5 years of The Snap" – he explained

"You know how they are calling the comeback of everybody? Since nobody aged after coming back unlike the people that stayed..." – started Peter when the King cleared her throat making him smirk while rolling his eyes – "okay, you rewind your age back and it looks like you didn't age a bit, we get it, anyway they call it "The Blip" is kinda funny" – he said

"It sounds like the name of the green thingy from that Robbin Williams movie" – said Arash giggling and the brown haired boy was laughing too – "...you know...I missed this...a lot" – he said to the other boy blushing

"Maybe 2 weeks aren't as long as 5 years...but I missed you too" – said Peter

"Hey...why don't you come with me?" – asked Arash – "I mean they are gonna reboot the school year after all, we can enjoy a little time and then we both go back, I was thinking..." – he trailed – "as a King anything I say goes...so I wanna handle the throne to my uncle and then go back to finish high school" – he explained

"Really? Why?" – asked Peter smiling excited

"I wanna figure out what I really wanna do with my life" – stated Arash

"You don't like being King?" – asked Peter

"I handle it well because I been teach what to do about this my whole life...but during these 5 years I realize that is not my calling" – said Arash – "besides, this is only temporary until Dastan is older enough, I think finishing high school will help me know what I really want to do, I'm 5 years younger again so I want to take advantage of this rewind in the best way possible" – he explained

"Wow...that's...wow...you thought of that this 30 minutes you were alone?" – asked Peter surprised about the whole thing

"I was thinking about that while we were working on getting everybody back and...I actually talk about it with Nat" – said Arash sighing while touching the necklace around his neck that he asked Farah to bring – "she thought it was a good idea for me to follow my dreams and not just settle for something just because is the only thing I know, so...I wanna follow through the idea" – he added

"Well, I support the idea as well and if you need a new place to stay I can talk to May and we can have you here in our apartment since you help to keep the apartment for us and sold yours" – said Peter

"Wouldn't be awkward dating and living together?" – asked Arash

"So just one kiss and we are already dating?" – teased Peter

"Oh...well...I thought...I mean..." – stuttered Arash

"I'm kidding Cat" – said Peter giggling – "but I kinda think we should have an actual date to make it official" – he said

"Are you asking me on a date?" – Asked Arash arching an eyebrow, it was his turn to tease the other boy and by the blush creeping on the brown haired boy, he succeeded

"I...well...I...you know..." – stuttered Peter

"I like when you stutter, is cute" – said Arash smiling – "and yes I would like to go on a date with you Peter Parker" – he added making Peter smile and then a bell ringed

"I gotta go, but I call you after school, after all I have to keep the track of the 2 hours check up with you" – said Peter – "and just so you know, I will like to go on a date with you Arash Mohammadi" – he added with smile making the King laugh

"You are silly" – said Arash shaking his head – "Bye Tiger" – he said

"Bye Cat" – said Peter

When the call ended the Persian boy stared at the screen of the laptop biting his bottom lip, the background of the laptop was the same pic of him and Peter that the other boy had on his desk back in Queens of a day on patrol, he smiled at the photo until the screen turned off going on suspension showing a dark figure on the reflection making the King freak out and turn behind him thinking he had someone there, his eyes glowed ready to attack but nobody was there, he got confused and turned back to the screen but nothing was there just him and his glowing eyes on the reflection.


A/N: The worst kept secret is out, Arash is awake! I had other scenarios thinking for this part about what to do with im, but I ultimately decided on this one, hope you guys aren't dissapointed with the direction that is gonna take with this and after words.
