In an alternate universe

(from here on out anything in another language will be inside () and the translation will be beneath it)

Peter's POV

Wonder how Aunt May is I hope she does not kill that would suck. I laugh. Then my vision starts to swim "huh?" I say "W-wand-da h-help" the world dims as Wanda yells " Peter!" My vision goes black just before she catches me.

In Stark Towers

Peppers POV

I pace back and forth as I wait for Tony to send me a sign he's alive or at least okay. I swear Tony you better not be dead I don't want to own your company completely! I sigh loudly as I go back to my desk So much paperwork so little time. Suddenly the phone rings Shit where's the phone. I push the papers off the table and finally find the phone " Hi welcome to Stark Industries Pepper Potts speaking how can I help you?" I ask "Hey pep Its tony" I gasp " Tony?" I take a breath " Fuck you, Tony, I was worried out of my mind I thought you were dead." He takes a breath " I know and I'm sorry Pep I didn't mean to worry you I'll call next time when I get back to earth after coming from an alien planet" "What do you mean alien planet?" I ask even more worried " I'll tell you later but right now I need you to come to Wakanda" "uh okay?" then he hangs up. I slowly hang up thinking to myself as I do so Maybe someone's injured I think But why would he need me for that i know nothing about medics even when I changed his arc reactor I almost killed him what if I do that to an injured avenger I think " better start packing" I mutter. I call happy " Happy, I need a ride to the airport and set up the jet thanks" I hang up after I finish talking.

In Wakanda

Pepper's POV

"Tony" I yell as I look around for him People are looking at me as if i'm crazy. I think as I yell louder. Maybe you are says a voice in the back of my head. I laugh silently to myself. "Are you going crazy on me?" asks a male voice I turn around and Tony is standing behind me smirking. "Cause if so I will disown you" he runs over to him and hugs him "Oh Tony I missed you so much" he laughs."Wow you really did miss me huh?" *she smiles and steps away brushing her clothes off "Now Tony why did you want me to come here?" he sighs."Same old Pep straight to business like usual." he sighs "Well…."he explains everything that happened and by the end she was staring at him her mouth wide open. "..." she can't think of what she should say so instead she just stays quiet staring at him in shock and confusion. After what feels like forever she finally says something. "Oh Tony" she hugs him "I'm sorry about Peter I really am I wish I could have helped you." she sighs and shakes her hugs him "I really wish I could have helped you and the team and I know how important Peter is to you and I will help you in every way I can in order to get him back" she rubs his back "Now is that the only reason why you wanted me to come down here?" he nods "We may be down here for a while and I did not want you to get lonely that and the rest of the team missed you almost as much as I did." "Okay"

In an alternate universe

Wanda's POV

I wonder if were missed or if people even noticed we are gone she thought They do miss you she thought trying to get rid of the thoughts that plagued her. She looks over at Peter and slowly walks over to him."Ey malen'kiy pauk" (Hey little spider) she says. "Privet, slushatel"' (Oh hey listener) she smiles pleased that he understood her. "Kak ty pauk?" (How are you spider?) she asks watching his face to gauge his reaction he hesitates before finally answering her question."Navernoye, ya zdorov. Kak ty?" (I guess I am are you?) Now it was her turn to be watched closely but she did not hesitate to say how she felt. "YA blagodaren vam za to, chto vy poprosili" (I am well thanks for asking). She sighs and switches back to english "Why must we lose the ones we love?" he answers her right away "So we become stronger than we already are." she smiles "What if we don't love something" he laughs at the question "Then you learn to." "What if you can't learn to love?" he sighs and looks at her "Then you learn to treasure"

She opens her mouth to say something again but he stops her "Really were doing this now….It literally will go on forever so lets stop now while we still can or were going to end up going down the rabbit hole and never coming back." she laughs "Well wanna have a quote battle?" she asks "A what?" she sighs dramatically "It's a thing pietro and I used to do" he gives her a look she can't quite pinpoint "Fine you go first I have a feeling they are depressing right?" she laughs and nods "They can be now lets see…" her forehead crinkles with thought "People cry, not because they're weak. It's because they've been strong for too long " he looks shocked but says one eventually ""Dear Past, stop tapping me on the shoulders, I don't wanna look back" he smirks as her mouth drops open "jeez Peter your good at this…." she thinks again "Instead of wiping your tears, wipe away the people who create them" he smiles "wow this is challenging what about…...There is no greater sorrow than to recall the misery in time we were happy" she looks shocked "Damn Peter you win" she shakes her head "I will get you one day" he laughs and pokes her cheek "Good luck with that."
