Peter Parker Imagines

Never Thought [Female!Reader] IW SPOILERS

"Oɴ ᴍʏ ʙᴀᴄᴋ, ʙʀᴇᴀᴛʜɪɴɢ ʜᴇᴀᴠʏ, ꜱᴛᴀʀɪɴ' ᴀᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ʟɪɢʜᴛ.."

His body knew from the moment he jumped out that bus. His body knew once his eyes landed on that giant wormhole-type ship. Peter himself, though, had yet to have a clue. He assumed it was his Spider-Sense just acting out more than normal because he was also panicked. He was scared for his city at the time, and once he was on the ship itself, he was scared for the world. Scared for you, because he knew someway, somehow, you'd follow. You'd learn where he went.

You would absolutely travel worlds to find him, and he knew he'd do the same. It was half of why he was on the ship- half of why he was in space, on another planet. He refused to let his entire Universe just slip by.

He refused to let a world, full of thousands of countless memories and future possibilities of certain milestones and moments just fly by him. He was going to fight for his neighborhood- his city, his world. He was going to fight for May and for you. For happy holidays with May and sweet tender memories with you. He had to be sure you made it out with him. The world wasn't worth being in without you. It wasn't. He never imagined a world without him though, not quite yet.

Apparently you felt the same. You weren't going down without a fight, and god did you ever put up one. How you managed to follow was way beyond him, but he wasn't surprised that you did. You found him, and you fought with everything in you. However, it all seemed to be in vain. Everyone fought till they bled- until the bitter end, and yet the stone was still acquired by that purple bastard.

"Pʀᴀʏɪɴ' ᴛʜɪꜱ ᴀɪɴ'ᴛ ᴛʜᴇ ᴇɴᴅ, ʙᴜᴛ ᴘʀᴇᴛᴛʏ ꜱᴜʀᴇ ɪᴛ ᴍɪɢʜᴛ ʙᴇ.."

His senses were going even crazier than before. It made the silence surrounding him and everyone else that much more scary. One stone was left, and who the hell knew how long it would be before he got it. There were no if's anymore, just one single when. He would get that last Infinity Stone- and then what?What would become of humanity? Would he be forced to watch you die? Or Tony? That's what he had wondered at first. It's what crossed his mind in the terrifying quiet. It was all he could think, aside from you. You swarmed his thoughts instantly. Thousands of possibilities and futures- now blurry and uncertain because that monster got what he so desired. This wasn't fair. This wasn't how this was supposed to go.

Then it happened.

First it was the dark gray skinned man, calling out for his friend before just disappearing into nothing. Then came the woman with antennae. Fearful and confused. Soon, it was the other man, the one who'd been with them.

He let out a soft "Oh man.."

Lastly, it was the wizard, the one who had said he wouldn't give up the stone for anyone or anything- and yet he did for Tony. Peter was grateful, but still so very confused. Why did he change so suddenly? Why would he give in to that purple monstrosity? Why?

"This was the only way.."

Peter then looked to you, heart crying out at the mere thought of watching you slip away. This couldn't be happening, not now, not to them. He fought with all he had- he fought so damn hard. Why was it never enough? Why couldn't he ever-

"I don't feel so good..", he said suddenly, senses running rampant, screaming in warning. His body was desperately trying to keep him going- but for a brief moment, he couldn't grasp why.

Your wandering eyes instantly shot in his direction. You'd been lost in your own world for a moment or two, trying to piece together what was happening and why. Trying to convince yourself that Peter and you would make it through this. You had to. It was him and you against the world, and you'd be damned if you lost.. but god.. had you done so already?
