Chapter 9
I am James walker I said as I introduced myself.
Hmm, Richard parker, peter parker where have I heard those names ... I was thinking about it as I stared at young peter, oh shit this is the future spider man now that I look carefully he looks a bit like young tom holland.
"how about you join us, we were just meeting with my brother and there is no one peters age for him to play with," said Mr. parker inviting me to join them "well only if you are the one paying for it " I joked as they laughed along with it as we walked together to the counter to get our tickets.
Mary and Richard were sweet parents as I could see that they doted on peter a lot. I felt bad knowing that such good people will die soon but as I don't know when it is I can't say or do anything for them as it might raise suspicions. I can just say it was a kid blabbering but I don't want any butterfly effect changing the plot, I have read enough fanfiction to know that if you don't have enough strength to at least say fuck you to the celestials then you are dead if things go wrong. I will only stop Thanos as I don't want to be blipped and I am not sure if my family will survive the snap.
As I was thinking about all this Mary gave me an ice cream I looked at her and then Peter I felt bad for him as he is going to lose his parents at a very young age, even if Ben and May looked after him as their own son, parents are parents and somebody else can never replace them except for a few scumbags who need to get their shit beat out of them.
I played with peter a lot making sure that he had a good memory with his parents to look back to.
As it was getting dark I said goodbye to peter and the kid was sad as I said goodbye he was shy at first but then warmed up to me . "we will meet in the future hopefully " I said to little peter.
As I walked away from them I saw Richard and Mary meeting with a couple they looked rather familiar, oh shit that's uncle ben and aunt may as I observed them I could see the parker couple leaving peter to bens care with a heavy heart I saw that Mary was nearly crying when she saw the departing peter Richard supported her and walked away.
so today was the day they were going to die man that's leaving a bad aftertaste for a good day as much as I want to do something I ain't doing anything for somebody I barely know I don't want a shit ton of hydra or shield or whoever it is monitoring them to come and knock on my door just because I saved one of their targets or agents or in whatever shit they are in.
I close my eyes and walked remembering what mom said "we can't always save everybody, make sure that saving them will at least give you some sort of profit as being a hero is a thankless job and peoples expectations of you will only grow stronger while hyenas will wait for you to just slip once so that they can rip you apart and devour you whole" I still remember her talking about it to me when my training started. I walked home with a heavy heart I can save them, yes but at what cost the cost is my peaceful life and I don't want that"
I reached home had dinner and went to bed to just sleep away all the gloom in my heart. Not noticing the weird look mom was giving me.
Mary pov (mc mom)
I don't know what happened to James but when he returned home he was gloomy it's worrying to see a usually energetic kid being gloomy all of a sudden. event though I am a few centuries old its still my first time being a mother, so I was confused about what might be worrying I can't just read his mind as he had an unusually strong guard in his mind I still remember that one time I tried to read his mind there was this being with white armor and a sword protecting a whole universe. it had its eyes closed and was still sleeping the amount of pressure it exerted on my soul unconsciously was enough to know that if I probe any further my soul will be shredded to pieces and scattered, wiping me out of existence, and even if I win against it I am pretty sure that his memories are stored somewhere in that universe behind that being. will I haven't tried reading his mind as after that I just asked him what it was and he either told me what it was or just acted dumb not saying anything if he didn't want to talk about not once had he lied to us except for when he smuggles away candies from our shop?
Did he get his heartbroken by some girl I don't know but since he hadn't talked to me about it I will have to wait for him to talk to me about it even, though he acts more mature than most kids his age, I still worry a lot about him, as I was thinking what might have hurt my son's heart so much I felt a hand creeping slowly under my nightgown, this dunderhead didn't even notice that his only son is acting weird about something, he can't even give one child of his enough attention and still wants to create more kids? I slapped his hands away angrily and kicked him out of the bed" go sleep on the couch you dumbass"
"What did I do wrong " exclaimed Alex as he got up rubbing his ass from the ground.
"You are on the couch for a whole week," I said getting irritated.
Alex walked away feeling confused thinking "is she on her period or something " but then thought did Asgardians have periods, he sighed thinking women are hard to understand even if they are aliens.
