Chapter 7

We got back to the mansion and enjoyed our donuts. I thanked Peter and headed to my room. I had noticed as soon as we got back the mansion felt a little too quiet and I wondered if maybe they were throwing me a surprise party or something. I got to my room expecting balloons and banners but it was exactly as I left it. I couldn't hear any voices and it seemed abandoned. Maybe they went on a mission is what I decided on as my phone rang.

"Mary I need you and Peter out here immediately!" I heard Tony's panicked voice through the speaker

There was a loud explosion then a crash and the call ended. I quickly suited up and walked into the living room where Peter was still sitting.

"Put on your suit." I said, "We need to leave."

He ran to his room and a minute later came out in his spidey suit. He followed me as I ran out the door and hopped on his motorcycle. He seemed hesitant to climb on behind me but I glared at him through my mask and he got on. I drove as fast as I could to the area Hannah had given me after tracking Tony's call. We arrived at a crumbled building with no one in sight.

"Are you sure this is the right location?" I asked Hannah

"positive" she answered

"Where is everyone then?"

"I sense a few life forms buried under the rubble."

I slowly walked to the edge of the destruction and found a spot of red shining metal. I tried to lift the rock on top but I needed help.

"Peter!" I called "Help me move this"

Me and him struggled but eventually moved it and revealed Tony underneath. We dragged him away and continued to free the rest of the team. They all seemed pretty beat up and some were probably dead but we moved them regardless.

Peter went around and checked everyone's pulse. I could see the tears in his eyes as he went along. Suddenly there was a fluttering sound next to my ear. I turned and found Hope there. She motioned for me to follow her and pointed at something small in the rubble. I bent down and found Antman laying there. I gently picked him up and moved him to the rest. Hope pressed a button on his suit and he sized up to normal human size. She did the same soon after. Peter finished his check and came up to us crying.

"How many?" I asked knowing it couldn't be good

"6 gone. 4 left plus us." He murmured

"Who?" I asked

he was crying too much to answer so I read his mind "Tony, Clint, Cap, Wanda, Natasha, and Bucky." He thought

I knew him and Cap were close as well as him and Tony but I didn't know what to say. I knew the best thing would be to get him back to the mansion so he could be alone.

"Hey Hope, can you get us a van?" I asked holding back tears

She nodded and produced the same black van from our other mission. Me and her began to gather the few left. We would've taken the others to bury but we were out of space so we had to leave them here. The press would find them in a few days and it would be all over the news. I let Hope take Peter back as I drove his motorcycle. By the time we got back, no one had woken up so we dragged them all into their rooms. Peter headed to his room immediately and when I headed in to check on him he was laying on his bed still crying. I tried to leave but he must've spotted me.

"Please stay." He said

"I should go check on everyone," I responded

"Please." He glanced up at me with his tear-streaked face

I sighed and went and sat next to him on his bed. He sat up next to me and we just sat there silently. After some time he must've fallen asleep because he fell onto me resting his head on my shoulder. I glanced down at him and caught myself smiling. I lay my head on his and soon fell asleep.
