Tony's POV

We got onto the quin jet and set of to New York. Everyone was quiet during the trip there, rocket every now and then would make a snarky comment to a building and how stupid It looked. I had fingered out what I was going to say to May, I'd tell her that peter had helped me in New York when the aliens first attacked then I'd tell her he followed me into the space ship that led us to Titan, I'd also tell her how heroic and brave he was when fighting thanos, then I'd tell her that we'd lost and that people started to disappear and peter was one of them. Simple...right? No...wrong, incorrect, it was way more complicated than that, I wasn't ready, at least we still had a while till we got there

"We're here" Steve yelled

What! Already! I'm not ready to do this. I started to breath faster. And my heart was thumping.

"Hey you alright man?" Rhodes asked

I took a deep breath in and tried to slow my heart rate. "Yeah"

"I've told pepper your back, she's waiting at the facility" he put his hand on my shoulder

I looked down to his legs "How you feeling?"

"As good as I'll be" he answered

As we neared the avengers facility everyone got up and looked out the front window of the quin jet. Rocket and nebula didn't look to impressed, or maybe it's just because their family and friends are dead.

The jet landed, the engines quieted down and the doors at the back opened. Pepper was there waiting at a safe distance. Once I walked off the ramp she ran straight into my arms. She hugged me tightly, the wound on my stomach started to sting, forgot that I haven't told anyone about that;

"Ow" I winced. She stopped hugging me and looked up at me with teary eyes, and saw I was holding my stomach. She lifted my shirt a bit to see the stab.

"Oh my god, tony what happened" I could tell that she was worried

I looked back to Cap and Nat, they looked at me like I was an idiot. I could tell what was going through their minds

'He was stabbed?! And he didn't get it checked out at wakanda where they can fix anything like that with in a minute?!'

Well I would of, but I was to busy.

I Saw that Thor, rocket, nebula and Rhodes had gone in already.

"Yeah, we have a lot to talk about" I said to pepper

We went to our own room we designed and sat on the bed.

During the two years before thanos, pepper did meet peter a few times, she liked him almost as much as I did, she also became a friend of mays so she could help me when it came to telling her.

Before I started happy entered the room, it was good to see he was ok.

I started from the beginning and kept going till peters death. They were both shocked to hear the story, pepper cried when I told her the kid disappeared.

"Tony you need to get that wound fixed then straight away tell May" she said to me

"No" I said she looked at me confused "tell May first THEN fix the stab" I corrected

"Fine, lets go then" she said as she got up and so did Happy. Steve was waiting out the front, leaning on the car.

"Thought I'd come with" he simply said

I nodded and Shrugged in agreement

We got into the car and drove off, Steve was in the front with happy, pepper sat next to me in the back comforting me, she could tell I was stressed. It was a long 2 hour drive down to queens and to the apartment where peter and May lived in. The two hours felt like twenty, anticipation is killing me.

Finally we arrived at the front we all got out except Happy. We walked up the stairs to the seventh floor, then to the apartment room where they lived. The three of us stood there, the door in front of us. I raised my arm to knock but hesitated before I actually knocked.

Pepper put her hand on my shoulder

"She's not going to blame you" she reassured

"I know"

Then I knocked. Almost instantly there was an answer, the door was unlocked, it opened. May came into view. She realised it was me and pepper, she smiled, then looked next to me not to see peter but Steve Rogers, her smiled dimmed.

"Where's peter?"
