Okay so this is my first fanfiction so don't be harsh, please
This Contains NWH spoilers so you have been warned
Whatever Andrew's Peter is gonna be called Peter 3 in the beginning and later he just be Peter
I also just lost the first copy of this so I'm a little salty
Peter 3 had just said his goodbyes to his younger self (Wow that'll never get weird) and was left just standing with Peter 2 waiting for this magical doctor to send them home. "So, you ready to get back home?" He tries to ease the weird awkwardness between them.
"Yeah, I mean not that you guys aren't great, but my New York needs me and so does my family" Peter 2 responds.
"Oh yeah, yeah, I get it. So... your family... does that mean you have kids, maybe a wife?"Peter 3 curiously asks.
"Umm, yeah I married my MJ and we have two kids." He casually states.
"Congrats dude, I'm happy at least one of us is happy and living a stable life" Peter 3 congratulates Peter 2 as he wishes he had a life like his.
"Thanks, dude" Peter 2 kind of mumbles. After he's done talking Peter 2 realizes they are about to leave. Peter 3 throws up a peace sign as he fades back to his world.
Peter looks at his surroundings finding that he is outside his apartment, "Weird, I wasn't here when I disappeared, but it's magic so I can't say anything" Peter says to himself. He finds the key for the door in his suit weirdly and unlocks it.
"Peter is that you?" a familiar voice questions from another room.
Peter thinks that can't be her, can it? "Uh yeah, it's me. How long have a been gone?" Peter asks while inspecting the apartment seeing things that aren't his own. It can't be her she died 9 years ago (I'm going off the time from 2014 to 2023 which is when NWH takes place).
"Only a few hours why? Oh and May's with my mom if you were wondering" the voice responds who is revealed to be Gwen as she walks to Peter. "What's wrong you look like you've seen a ghost, Peter."
"Gwen" Peter barely whispers as he touches her face with a gloved hand, "You're here."
"Of course I am where else would I be, silly" she jokes as she grabs Peter's hand that's on her face staring into his deep brown.
"How?" he questions as a response appears in his mind. "Magic"
Gwen stares at him confused as he blurts out random words that don't make any understandable sentences. "Peter, Peter, PETER" she yells to get his attention, he stares back remembering that Gwen, his Gwen, is barely a foot away from him. "Gwen," he says, eyes glass-like, "I thought I'd never see you again."
"Peter, are you okay because you're scaring me. What's wrong?" Gwen tries to ask as she chokes on some of her own words.
"It's just that you died 9 years ago and here you are in front of me," Peter says as looks into her eyes once more.
"You know what, why don't you explain everything to me in the living room okay? But before that we should probably shut the door as it's still open" Gwen tells him as she heads to the door, "And make sure to start from the beginning, the VERY beginning okay Peter?"
"Yeah, yeah I will, but it'll take a while" Peter responds as he head to the living that looks way different from when he left it.
"We have all the time in the world right now because as I mentioned May's with my mom so we'll be good for a while," Gwen says as she tries not to panic while sitting across from Peter, "So the beginning."
"Okay, okay so 9 years ago I fought Electro and Goblin, right? Well, I don't know how it went here, but after we stopped Electro, Goblin came so we went into the clock tower and somehow Harry knew I was Spider-Man, I didn't tell him I swear, and he decided to I guess take something important away from me. So, he grabbed you and dropped high above the tower. I got you at first and then I had to fight Goblin and the gears ended up cutting the web holding you and you fell, I jumped after you and in my last effort to save you I shot a web and I had you, but I grabbed the side of the tower trying to make sure I don't fall any farther and you hit the ground and your neck snapped. I held you there in my arms sobbing wishing you would at least open your eyes, show me anything that would show you were alive, but you died. I went to your grave every day and even now I still feel the pain of your death and I haven't forgiven myself yet." Peter tells Gwen through stifled sobs, "And that's just the beginning of it all."
Gwen struggles to find any words so she does what she feels like she should do and she hugs and holds him as he lets it out. "Hey, I'm here. I'm right in front of you Pete" she tries to calm him, "You don't have to tell the rest if you can't."
"No, no I'll tell you because I can't seem to make sense of how this timeline exists, but maybe you can," Peter says as he composes himself, "So, as you know I disappeared for a few hours, but for me, it was 2 days, time is weird I guess. After I disappeared, I was in New York, but not this New York, a different New York with a different Spider-man, and I guess a superhero team called the Avengers, but the Spider-man there had his identity revealed by this enemy of his and he talked to this magic doctor dude who did a spell to erase Spider-man's identity from everyone in that universe's minds. The spell was messed up and ended up bringing people who knew Spider-man is Peter Parker to that universe, including Lizard, Electro, and well me. I wandered around for a while in my suit until this portal opened at the end of an alley I was in, I heard people yelling "Peter" so obviously I went through it. As it turns out they weren't looking for me, but that world's Peter Parker, the young one whose identity was revealed."
"Wait, how old was he?" Gwen curiously asks Peter.
"17 I think, but continuing with the stor-" Peter gets cut by Gwen.
"17! Peter 17 and he had to deal with the problems of his identity being known, poor kid" Gwen says as she thinks of the young Peter.
"Yeah, and it does get worse for him, but I'm gonna continue now. So, after going through the portal Peter 1's friends, that's what we called him, who said their names were MJ and Ned. There was throwing of bread and me having to get a cobweb to make them think I was the real deal. They went to find Peter 1 with a portal again and this time there was this dude dressed like a youth pastor who came through. We made eye contact after he said his name is Peter Parker, we shot webs at each other, and then Peter 2, the youth pastor, asked if Peter 1 had any special places where he might go when he needs a break, then we talked about where we go. We went to Peter 1's Midtown High and Ned and MJ talked to Peter 1 first and then he sensed us. We tried to help him with grief I mentioned you dying and Peter 2 mentioned his Uncle Ben dying." Peter quickly tells Gwen.
"So, young you was called Peter 1, youth pastor you was called Peter 2, so were you Peter 3? And couldn't you guys have chosen nicknames or something specific to each Spider-man?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah I was Peter 3 and we probably could have. I could have been the Amazing Spider-man and they could have chosen other names." Peter thinks about the possibilities of the names they could've gone by.
"The Amazing Spider-man?" Gwen asks while smiling.
"Oh, whatever. I'll keep going on" "There's more?" "Yes there is, but not much" "Thank god 'cause I'm tired and May'll be dropped off soon" "I'm not gonna ask at the moment. Where was I? Oh, we broke into Midtown to make cures to all the villains, so like I said Lizard and Electro were there, but there was also a dude with octopus arms, he turned good before I joined them, a Green Goblin, not Harry another world's Norman Osborn, and a dude who was made of sand. I made the cure for Lizard and Peter 2 made the cure for Goblin, and we worked together on the others. We did have some problems in the lab such as we hadn't numbered each other yet so we couldn't differ from each other so that happened. And Peter 2 has organic webs like he makes them in his arms no tech needed" "Really? Kinda gross" "I guess it could be considered that but it's also pretty cool is it not? So crazy. Also, Peter 2 and I had a conversation about balancing Spider-man and Peter Parker, he and his MJ are not only married, but they have 2 kids. How he did that is insane." "Peter you realize that you are wearing a wedding ring right?" "Wait what? I guess I am. Could we talk about that later 'cause I'm gonna end up forgetting everything soon?" "Yeah sure and I want to hear the end" "Cool. Peter 1 did like this message thing to the bad guys so they'd meet us at the Statue of Liberty, because well you know second chances. Before they came though we were just talking, cracked Peter 2's back, Peter 1 asked the question we all had been wondering, we-" "Which was?" "Oh do the webs come out from anywhere else" "And..." "They don't" "Hmm" "We talked about our best villains, both of them have fought aliens and Peter 1 has been to space!" "Really?" "Yeah he fought an alien there and he was purple" "Hmm strange" "So we talked and then all of our Spidey senses went off and we swung to the fight. We even used each other's webs to swing ours because there wasn't anything to swing on. We all landed and jumped off to fight. We realized we had to work together as Peter 2 and I aren't really used to teams so that's when got numbered and decided to have one target at a time. We did Sandman first and then moved on to Lizard, Electro, the octopus guy helped us, and finally Goblin. Goblin killed Peter 1's Aunt May and he wanted vengeance. He was about to kill Goblin when Peter 2 jumped in and stopped him but ended up getting stabbed by Goblin" "Is he okay?" "I think so he said it wasn't the first time so yeah I guess, but I grabbed the cure for Goblin, he had a split personality disorder type of thing that he got from this stuff and the other personality wanted to kill people so yeah, he ended getting cured and was shocked to find out what he did," Peter says as he almost finishes the story with Gwen in between questions and comments.
"This whole thing with the spell happened and everyone who knew Peter Parker is Spider-man would be brought there. So, Peter 1 had the magic doctor make a new spell where everyone would forget Peter Parker in general in his world. He came to say thanks to me and Peter 2, we hugged, and he said his goodbyes to MJ, his girlfriend, and Ned, his best friend who is very certain he'll never become evil. And as soon as the spell was made everyone went back home and the end," Peter ends the story with a dramatic flourish.
"Wow, that's a lot that happened," Gwen says shocked.
"Yeah I know and I think now it's your turn to explain what happened here because I can't remember at all" Peter states as he leans back on the couch exhausted.
So this chapter has been through a lot of editing since I published it, but I wanted just to have the story made and public. I hope you enjoyed it and there will be more because I HATE when fanfictions have exactly what I want and are never completed so yeah.
