after the battle against thanos and his army were all watching as pepper says her goodbyes to tony, who had sacrificed himself, i had to look away whilst my best friend, peter begged his mentor, the closest person he has to a father figure to stay awake, stay alive. i’m stood a few feet away, tears burning my cheeks as i watch the man who had taken me in, gave me a home and a family fades slowly into the abyss of death. i try to ignore the blood seeping through my fingers as i hold my side, everyone is a little worse for wear tell myself as i push through the pain, watching peter break down beside me.
