(Lyrics from genius)
[WASHINGTON]
Let me tell you what I wish I'd known
When I was young and dreamed of glory
You have no control:
[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[BURR]
President Jefferson:
[JEFFERSON]
I'll give him this: his financial system is a
Work of genius. I couldn't undo it if I tried
And I tried
[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[BURR]
President Madison:
[MADISON]
He took our country from bankruptcy to prosperity
I hate to admit it, but he doesn't get enough credit
For all the credit he gave us
[WASHINGTON AND COMPANY]
Who lives
Who dies
Who tells your story?
[KATE]
Every other founding father's story gets told
Every other founding father gets to grow old
[BURR]
But when you're gone, who remembers your name?
Who keeps your flame?
[BURR AND MEN]
Who tells your story?
Who tells your story?
[KATE AND WOMEN]
Who tells your story?
Your story?
[WOMEN]
Eliza
[RACHEL]
I put myself back in the narrative
[WOMEN]
Eliza
[RACHEL]
I stop wasting time on tears
I live another fifty years
It's not enough
[COMPANY]
Eliza
[RACHEL]
I interview every soldier who fought by your side
[MULLIGAN/LAFAYETTE/LAURENS]
She tells our story
[RACHEL]
I try to make sense of your thousands of pages of writings
You really do write like you're running out of—
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
I rely on—
[RACHEL AND KATE]
Angelica
[RACHEL]
While she's alive—
[RACHEL AND KATE]
We tell your story
[RACHEL]
She is buried in Trinity Church
[RACHEL AND KATE]
Near you
[RACHEL]
When I needed her most, she was right on—
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
And I'm still not through
I ask myself, "What would you do if you had more—"
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
The Lord, in his kindness
He gives me what you always wanted
He gives me more—
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
I raise funds in D.C. for the Washington Monument
[WASHINGTON]
She tells my story
[RACHEL]
I speak out against slavery
You could have done so much more if you only had—
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
And when my time is up, have I done enough?
[RACHEL]
Will they tell our story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[RACHEL]
Oh. Can I show you what I'm proudest of?
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[RACHEL]
I established the first private orphanage in New York City
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[RACHEL]
I help to raise hundreds of children
I get to see them growing up
[COMPANY]
The orphanage
[RACHEL]
In their eyes I see you, Alexander
I see you every—
[RACHEL AND COMPANY]
Time
[RACHEL]
And when my time is up
Have I done enough?
Will they tell my story?
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
[RACHEL]
Oh, I can't wait to see you again
It's only a matter of—
[ELIZA AND COMPANY]
Time
[COMPANY]
Will they tell your story?
Who lives, who dies, who tells your story?
Will they tell your story?
Who lives, who dies—
[COMPANY]
Time...
Time...
Time...
[FULL COMPANY]
Who tells your story?
Everyone applauds and I smile happily. We take our bows and head off the stage. It has been a week since the earths merged. A week since Santanas mom came to New York with us.
We are officially a throple now. We have not had a date but we want it. We want to try this out. But I still have some anxiety currently.
I know the avengers are a thing but I know I should not have those memories. We have had conversations with Steven about everything. It is honestly weird knowing things we should not. I sigh as I go into my dressing room.
I smile as I see the flowers on my table. I pay no mind to the box next to them. I pick it up and open it thinking nothing of anything. Soon I am on the ground gasping for air while smoke is everywhere.
Someone please come find me.
-Peter pov-
My spider senses are going nuts. I look around and see a man looking fidgety. I tap Clint and nod toward the man. He gives a nod and we move around everyone.
We make it to the man who just hands out a paper. He shakes his head and stands still. I let Clint open it and then follow him as he runs. We take off as smoke starts to billow down the corridor.
Jesse has an extinguisher and I see Kate holding Santana. She has already gone green and big. I notice who's room it is and turn. I look at Brittany who shakes her head.
I sigh and run into the room. I look and cough trying to find her. I find Rachel and pick her up. She is bleeding and needs medical help.
I swing us out and send a message to Clint. I get us to the apartment and to the Ironman tech. I go to work on scanning her body. I see what is wrong and work on something to help.
I hear the door open and keep working. I make what I need to and look at Steven. He gives a nod and creates surgical tools. I look away and hold the device out as he saves Rachel.
Please just hold on.
-Time skip-Rachel pov-
I groan as I slowly open my eyes. Once I do I remember what happened. I panic as I sit up quickly and look around. I relax as I notice the room I am in.
"You will not be the same" I turn and see Peter with tears in his eyes "It was all we could do so you did not die"
"What do you mean?" He points to the standing mirror as he cries "Peter?"
"We still want to be with you Rachel" I look at the door as my girlfriends come in "Go look"
I slowly get up and stumble some. I slowly walk to the mirror with fear growing. I stop when my reflection comes into view. I slowly place my hand on the metal in my chest.
It glows and I hear a sob break out but have no idea who it was from. All I know is everything goes black quickly.
