Hope Van Dyne was lead to believe that she was going to have a normal day. No real surprises, go into work, go through her day like normal.
Until there was a knock at the door.
When she opened the door, she was met with her old college roommate, Mary Fitzpatrick. She hasn't had much contact with each other since college, but she was invited to their wedding, so they do know one another.
"Hope." Mary greeted her, carrying their son with them.
"Mary." Hope greeted her.
"I'm sorry to do this, but we didn't know who else to turn to." Richard apologized to her.
"Do what?" Hope asked.
"Can we come in?" Mary asked, and Hope could see this was gonna take a moment.
"Yeah, sure, come on in." Hope offered to let them in.
After explaining their most recent talk with Nick Fury, Hope was still confused on why they were here to see her. They were scheduled to be leaving tomorrow morning, but they came here for a quick stop.
"So, what exactly brings you here?" Hope asks.
"Because..." Mary almost couldn't answer and looked to her husband who offered a sad smile. "Because we didn't know who else we could trust with this. We can't take Peter with us, and more to the point, we don't want to take him with. We don't know who in S.H.I.E.L.D. we can trust."
Hope immediately started to understand what they were saying, but still needed more.
"Your father might've been right. There might be a leak inside the government." Richard stated to her. "You are the only person we know doesn't trust the government just as much."
Hope nodded and confirmed that she understood. "How long do you think?"
"If all goes according to plan, two, three days top." Mary confirmed for her and carried Peter over to her. "He's a little fussy at first, but he'll see you're helping us."
Hope decided to go with it and held her hands out to pick up the kid and had quickly been handed him. He started to fuss a little as he awoke from his nap.
"Hey, hey, hey. It's okay." Hope shushed him and Peter opened his eyes to look at her.
Peter stated to get ready to cry when he almost seemed to look into her soul. He then smiled and giggled as he reached for Hope's nose.
"Does...does this means he likes me?" Hope wondered.
Richard and Mary smiled as they saw he was in good hands.
That night, there was a cry coming from her guest room, and she knew she'd have to get up and see what's happening. Getting up, she walked into the guest room where the crib was set up and Hope picked the poor baby up.
"Hey, Buddy. Everything all right?" Hope wondered as the baby began to calm down.
But neither of them knew that their lives were never going to be the same again when the next day Hope learned that Richard and Mary were killed, along with May and Benjamin Parker.
Peter was the last of the Parker's...and even then, Hope saw that if she didn't change it, there was a chance that whoever hunted them down would hunt him down as well. The only thing that she could think to do was to erase any trace of Peter Parker from the world. Every record of him to be wiped, almost like he never existed. After she accomplished that, she placed adoption forms fir herself by using the papers she was left with and adopted Peter and changed his name to Peter Van Dyne.
Everything might've just changed, but their adventure had only just begun.
