Chapter Text
Peter sat down at his desk in his apartment building with a grunt of pain, holding his bruised side which would most likely be healed by morning.
It's been over a month since everyone has forgotten about Peter Parker and the spider themed vigilante doesn't think he's ever felt this alone in his entire life.
He has no one anymore, no team, no aunt, no best friend, no girlfriend, no sister, no Pepper...
He's lost everything, and it's all his fault.
He deserves to be alone for always causing so much trouble, they don't need to deal with his shit anymore, they can live their lives without him getting in the way.
They'll be happier without him...
Before he could think of anything else though, he was suddenly blinded by a white light which consumed him and everything around him.
The last thought he had before being teleported away was his Parker Luck struck again...
He just couldn't catch a break could he?
Meanwhile, Avengers and their families were all being transported from different time lines toward one specific place, a place that would show them all the tragic story of Spider-Man.
The first to arrive in the theater were the two Avengers who were about to bring back half the population. Tony and Steve.
They both landed in the front of what, to them, seemed to be some sort of theater. Once they gathered their bearings, their eyes wandered around in shock from the sudden teleportation.
"Where the hell are we?!" Tony exclaimed, looking around for any threats.
"Don't fear, I'm not here to harm you, I simply want to show you your future." A voice said from the ceiling which caused Tony to jump in shock and Steve to turn his head around frantically, looking for any sort of threat.
"And who are you?" Steve asked.
"Who I am is no concern to you, for now, I need to bring in the others." Without another word, another flash passed through the room and brought in the rest of the audience minus two people.
Natasha was brought back from the moment right before her death, Clint, Kate, his children and wife were brought back right after that very first Christmas with each other, after the Kingpin incident.
Pepper, Rhodey, Happy, May, Mj, Ned and Morgan all came from right after they found out Peter's identity had been revealed.
The Guardians, Carol, Wanda, Sam, Bucky, Shuri, T'Challa, Scott, Hope, Cassie, Thor, Bruce, Fury and Maria came from right before the whole London attack.
Another group of people also flashed in that quickly caught Natasha's attention. Yelena, Alexei and Melina all popped in as well, even though they were very confused.
All the newcomers to the theater looked around and when they made eye contact with the the three heroes that had died, they were instantly bombarded by their family.
"Tony!" The man barely had anytime to react before his wife was in his arms, hugging him like he would vanish at any given moment.
"I'm right here Pep, I'm not going anywhere." He tried to sooth her but she wasn't having any of it, her husband was back for some unknown reason but she wasn't gonna complain, not when she could hold him at least one last time.
He was alive...
Meanwhile, Sam and Bucky were walking up to Steve with a smile on their faces.
"Nice to see you man." Sam said, offering his hand out for the old captain to shake.
"Sam?" Steve asked in shock. He didn't know what was happening, but he was pretty sure the two people standing in front of him were supposed to be dead.
"Good to see you Stevie." Bucky said, bringing the man in for a hug which he gratefully returned.
"Hey Buck, good to see you too." Steve said, grasping his best friend back.
He missed him...
When they pulled back, Steve looked at Sam’s attire and raised an eyebrow, "You stealing my look Wilson?" He asked, gesturing to the outfit.
Sam smirked, "Actually, you gave me the all clear on the look Cap, it was you who passed down the giant dinner plate to me."
Steve's eyes widened, "So you're from the future?"
"Yeah you could say that." Bucky smiled.
The last group of people who were reuniting was the assassins and the Bartons. When Natasha first laid eyes on her baby sister she instantly ran towards her, engulfing the younger woman in a giant bear hug.
"Yelena." She spoke so softly into her sisters ears, making sure only she could hear her voice.
"Natasha." Yelena muttered back, hugging her and burying deep into her older sisters arms.
"I'm here, I'm right here."
The two sisters held onto each other for another minute before Melina and Alexei interrupted them.
"My daughter comes back from dead and she won't even give her old man a hug? I'm hurt!" Alexei exclaimed with a wide smile across his face.
Natasha rolled her eyes, "And I won't, has anyone ever told you how much you stink?" She asked sarcastically.
"Yes, you all have. Many times."
Natasha smirked before she was suddenly in the arms of her, sort of, mother figure. She smiled though and wrapped her arms around Melina.
No words were needed, she understood that the older woman needed physical proof that she was alive, that she was breathing so she let the woman do her thing as she waited.
"You know, your sister tried to kill me because she thought I, had killed you." The sudden voice of her partner made her turn around and come face to face with his family plus another girl that she didn't recognize.
But apparently her sister did.
"Kate Bishop, how lovely it is to see you again, yes? I have missed our little get togethers, yeah?" Yelena smiled at who Natasha now knew was Kate Bishop apparently.
Kate smiled in amusement, "Yeah, we should do so again sometime."
"I know right?! We make awesome team!"
"Can we back up for a minute, about where he said that you almost killed him?" Natasha said, directing the question towards her sister.
"What did you want from me? You both left, only one came back and it wasn't you. I needed someone to hurt for taking my sister away from me." Yelena defended herself.
"I took the fall so Clint could come back to his family. To His children who still needed their father. I didn't fall so he could come back only to be killed by you." Natasha raised an unamused eyebrow at her sister.
"Meh, we're cool now." Yelena shrugged like it was no big deal she tried to kill him.
Natasha rolled her eyes before she walked over to Clint and hugged him, an embrace which he gratefully returned.
"Missed you."
"Missed you too Birdbrain."
All the people in the theater were being caught up on what events they had missed when suddenly, a certain genius, billionaire philanthropist took notice of a certain missing someone who wasn't standing near his aunt or his friends.
"Where's Peter?!" Tony exclaimed with wide eyes as he frantically looked around with Morgan cuddled close to his chest.
"We're also missing Doctor Strange, where is he?" Bruce asked in confusion.
Before anyone could spoil anything else from their time lines though, the voice spoke up, "I assure you Mr Parker will be joining us shortly along with Dr Strange, I just have to bring in one more person and explain a few things."
There was one last flash before a man in a suit stood before them with glasses and a walking cane.
"What the hell?" The man muttered.
"Mr Murdock, it's a pleasure." The voice said.
"Uh, yeah sure thing. Where the fuck am I?" He asked with a raised eyebrow behind his glasses.
"We are all here to watch the future. As such, I will have to give you your sight back for the remaining time we are here, is that...okay with you, Mr Murdock?" The voice asked.
Matt was shocked for a few seconds before he slowly nodded his head, "Yeah, yeah that's fine." Matt was suddenly aware of light slowly but steadily making its way through his eyelids for the first time in two decades.
He slowly shook his head and blinked his eyes a few times and realized he could see everyone who was standing in front of him, they were a bit blurry at the moment, but he could see them.
"Wow." He muttered in wonder as he looked across the room at all the people who were surprisingly looking at him with a smile, glad that the man could see again, even if it was for a short time.
"Now that that's done, explanations. You are all here to watch the future of your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. For some background for those of you from the past, Spider-Man, aka Peter Parker went on a school trip to Europe when he was intercepted by an alien named Talos. But Peter didn't know that, because that alien could shape shift into anyone he saw which he used the skin of Fury to trick the kid into helping him with a problem." The voice said which caused many people who knew the alien to grumble under their breaths while Tony just glared at no one in particular, just mad that his son was tricked.
"Long story short, Peter got tricked and ended up fighting a person that he had trusted, which the man ended up dying due to his own arrogance. What Peter didn't know, was Beck had one last trick up his sleeve. Before he died, Beck recorded all of his interactions with Peter and had his team edit the footage and make it look like he was the bad guy."
"And to have the last laugh, he outed Peter's identity to the world." The voice said which caused all the avengers who knew the kid to become outraged.
How dare that man hurt Peter!! The people who had come from the time where his identity had just been outed were already fuming. Pepper's motherly instincts already kicking in and wanting Peter here so she could tell him everything would be okay.
"Now that that is explained, let me bring in the last two members. I'll have to warn you, I'm bringing these two from the future so they might act...a little weird so try not to be too...upset with Peter's reactions." The voice said which confused them but otherwise they nodded their heads, signaling that they understood.
Now once the final light cleared up, Peter and Strange were standing in front of them, both in a defensive position, ready to sling into action at any moment.
The doctor coming from right before the spell completed and Peter coming from a month into his self exile.
"Who are you all?" Peter glared at all of them, which confused and worried his family to no end.
"Parker, stay back." Strange muttered as he also glared around the room.
"Peter? Hey Underoos, it's me, Tony. You gotta tell me what's going on."
"What's going on?" Peter scoffed, "That's something I'd like to know because I'm currently standing in a room where I can count at least three dead people so you stop your fucking lying right now and tell me, Who. You. Are." Peter watched as hurt flash across the man's face which caused Peter to internally cringe but even if he had the face of Tony, he knew his mentor was dead, he couldn't just trust him.
He couldn't trust anyone anymore.
"Allow me to take over Mr Stark." The voice said after a few tense seconds of silence, "Mr Parker, Mr Strange, I've brought you two from the future, along with these people from the past so everyone can watch what happens, and how much they've failed." The voice said which caused the heroes to all disagree immediately.
But the voice cut them off, "You all have failed. You claim you're heroes and you care for this boy but everyone has failed him in some degree in the past year. He sacrifices everything to save this world yet no hero ever came to his aid when he needed it the most." The voice said strictly, and even though they couldn't see the person, they could all tell they were glaring.
"What do you mean?" May finally talked for the first time which caused so much grief and sadness to well up in Peter's chest but he knew this was temporary, he knew that this was the only chance he'd ever get at seeing them again, alive.
Strange saw his brief look of grief and placed his hand on his shoulder, giving it a slight squeeze which caught the attention of everyone in the room.
"You will all see what I mean once we watch the future. But I'll tell you right now, it is not pleasant, especially for Peter." The voice answered May's question.
"Will you be alright?" Strange muttered to him, low enough that only Peter's ears could pick it up.
Peter nodded slightly, glad that one person here understood what was happening.
"Please, if you all could take a seat, we'll begin the screening." The voice said.
Everyone took a seat and Peter's family tried not to be hurt when the boy moved over to sit next to Strange, Carol and Fury.
They could tell he was hurting, but they didn't know why. Hopefully this screening would show them all though and help them understand.

"Now that we're all situated let's watch the tragedy of how Spider-Man lost everything he loved." The voice announced which caused everyone in the theater to turn to the kid in worry.
Tony didn't know what to think about watching his son, knowing that he'll be in so much pain. He wanted to grab him and keep him there forever, in his arms, safe.
Carol frowned and placed her hand on Peter's shoulder, trying to offer the boy some sort of comfort. He looked up at her with guarded eyes and a frown before his eyes softened and he smiled awkwardly up at her before turning back around.
After the funeral, the two of them had gotten along well. Sitting around and joking with each other, Carol telling him old stories about Fury and Peter opening up about his life.
In the short time she's known him, she's grown a little attached but she had to go up into space to help fix all the mess that Thanos left behind, she hadn't been down to earth since she departed.
Maybe it was time to change that.
Meanwhile, Strange silently sighed to himself. He knew what would happen, it's not like he wanted to do it but Parker was right, it was the only thing that would have stopped all those people from coming into their universe and destroying everything.
Peter had made a sacrifice bigger than even Starks.
And it was tearing the kid apart...
And from the look on Peter's face when he first arrived, Strange would bet that the spell worked in the future, everyone forgot about him and he's been trying to live with that, alone.
This kid was something else, his will to keep on going even when he had hit rock bottom was admiring, he'd admit that.
He wish he could've helped him out more...
Before anyone could say anything else though, the giant screen flashed before them and the future started to play out right before their eyes.
