I wrote this scene for the 4th fanfic in my 5-fic series…and y’allllllllll!!!!!
This one got meeeeeeeee 😭😭😭😭😭
Viola and Alec got away.
Some of the members of the team were injured.
Some were captured.
Two were dead.
Peter paced back and forth, his feet kicking the rubble surrounding him. Rain poured down, as if it were mocking his pain.
He’d messed up…he’d failed.
Again.
Same as he did in the battle against Thanos.
He’d told Tony sorry…but sorry wasn’t enough.
And now, they’d lost even more teammates.
Peter picked up a rock and hurled it with a scream. He sank to the dusty ground.
And sobbed.
He couldn’t stop the tears.
He couldn’t stop the pain…the grief…from flowing out of his shattered heart.
He wished he could.
But it was too much to hold back.
He wanted Tony back.
He needed Tony back.
He couldn’t do this…Tony was wrong to believe in him.
Footsteps sounded, and Peter turned around, fast, quickly wiping away tears.
“Peter, you forgot an umbrella.”
“Pepper? W-where’s…shouldn’t you be watching Morgan?”
“Morgan is fine. You left so suddenly. You know, you really shouldn’t be here. We just finished a battle here…it might be best if you come back to the hotel. You’ll get a cold.”
Peter turned back around, his knees raising to his chest, more tears falling. But he was unwilling for Pepper to see his tears. She’d already been through enough.
“…We failed, Pepper…I failed…I failed…again…and-and,” Peter clenched his fists, fighting back more tears, “Mr. Stark never should have chose me.”
“Peter…”
“He shouldn’t have, Pepper…he shouldn’t have.” Peter argued, closing his eyes, tight. His fists did a quick pound on the dirt. “And he never should have trusted me. I failed him…over and over again.”
“Peter.” Pepper’s cold, gentle hand touched his tear-streaked cheek.
Peter opened his eyes, vision blurred by tears.
Pepper held the umbrella above them both, one hand on his cheek, crouching in front of him. She smiled gently. “I don’t know how much Tony told you any of this…but Peter,” she wiped tears from his eyes, “didn’t you know how proud Tony was of you?”
“He-he shouldn’t have-“
“Peter…Tony was more than just proud of you. Peter…he loved you. He loved you as if you were his son…and he saw you as such.”
“He shouldn’t have, Pepper, he shouldn’t…”
He’d failed so many times…how could Tony still love him after that?
“Peter…it doesn’t matter how many times you’ve messed up. Your mistakes…Peter… they didn’t change how much Tony loved you.”
Peter quickly shook his head.
How could it be true?
“And Peter…he’ll always be proud of you. He’s watching us, even now…and Peter, oh Peter…you’ll always make him proud.”
A sob escaped deep from the place in Peter’s chest where a whole heart was supposed to be but was instead filled by a broken one.
Peter’s arms wrapped around her, and he buried his face in Pepper’s shoulder, his head carefully led by Pepper’s hand.
And sitting there under the shade of the umbrella…Pepper resting her head on his…holding him with one arm, hugging him as tight as she could…Peter felt a broken heart begin to mend.

@smiley @euodia-vision @godlyfantasy12 @keilah-h
And here’s “technically” part 2 of the scene I shared above!!!! 😀
“I’m hungry…do we have cheeseburgers?” Morgan whispered, laying her head back and against his chest, sitting in his lap.
Bucky tucked a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.
She reminded him of Ryo.
She was so young…innocent…sweet.
She even loved him.
But he was sure she wouldn’t if she knew he had killed her Daddy’s parents.
A prick of guilt stabbed at Bucky’s already aching heart.
Morgan looked up at him, brown eyes full of questions. “Bucky?”
“I’m okay. I don’t know if we have cheeseburgers, Morgan.”
“My daddy loved cheeseburgers…Happy told me. Can we get cheeseburgers?”
He didn’t really want to go out again right now…but how could he ignore her sweet face?
“We can go get cheeseburgers. Maybe we’ll run into your mother; I’m sure she won’t mind you eating a cheeseburger. I’ll buy us both one.”
“Cheeseburgers!?”
“Cheeseburgers.”
Morgan giggled and jumped out of Bucky’s lap. She ran over and took Yelena’s hand. “I want cheeseburgers!”
Yelena smiled gently and nodded. “I know. We’ll go get some,” she faced Bucky, “Bucky, you want one?”
Bucky slowly shook his head. “No. Thanks though.”
Yelena nodded, before turning her attention back to Morgan. “Let’s go get cheeseburgers.”
She walked away, Morgan skipping and in tow, and the door to the hotel suite closed behind them both.
Bucky leaned back further into the couch. He covered his face with his hands and groaned.
Viola and Alec escaped them again.
This time, it cost them Vlad and Avery…they were both dead.
Sam…Meela…Mayla…Thor…captured.
Wanda…Clint…Madelene…injured.
Most of the team was down, unable to fight.
How would Steve have handled this?
Bucky silently chided himself.
Why did it matter how Steve would have handled it? Steve was gone, now and forever.
He got a happy life, and because of that, Bucky was happy for him.
But he couldn’t help but feel a little lost without his best friend.
Bucky reached over the side of the couch and picked up what Sam had thrown to him before he was captured.
Bucky gently ran his flesh fingers over the cold metal of Steve’s shield.
“Bucky,” Steve gripped his shoulders, “listen to me, don’t let anyone else tell you who you are, Buck. Sam’s going to need your help…and I know you can do that for him. I wouldn’t be able to leave this shield to Sam if I knew that you wouldn’t be able to be there for him…same as you were there for me.”
Steve trusted him…even though maybe he shouldn’t have.
And Bucky was determined to not let Steve, or Sam, down.
Bucky stood, gently setting the shield down beside the couch.
He wouldn’t let anyone down.
Footsteps sounded, and Bucky turned. “How is everyone?”
“They’re recovering,” Kate bit her lip, “but I don’t think they’ll be okay to fight for a while…and Bruce is caring for them, so we don’t have his help either.”
“We still have to rescue the others.”
“Are you crazy? How are we going to…hang on, you better be including me in this plan.”
Bucky grinned. “You’re not the only one. I have a small plan…even if it is crazy,” he picked up the shield, “besides, I need to return this to Sam. We’re going to rescue them…you in?”
Kate picked up her bow and quiver, and smirked. “I thought you’d never ask.”

Awwww I loveeee it
Kate!!! And Morgan!!! So sweet
And poor Bucky missing his best friend

#ProtectSebJune 26, 2023 at 4:56 pm #148983First, I think I’ll start with the Knifethrowers
They go into the Marvels tent
The Knifethrowers are Curry and Sharpe-a boyfriend/girlfriend duo (Above is Sharpe)
Unlike some of the more colorful Cirquians, Curry and Sharpe dress in leather, and are more on the darker side of life (though I suppose most of Cirque leans toward the dark side of things, though most show their eccentric side a bit more.) They live on the edge and are rebels against society, but not all that loud or talkative-more sinister and edgy.
They’re definitely dangerous, and can come off as malicious and sinister-quite high on the suspect list after the murder of Zolten, that’s for sure.
They have quite the obsession with anything sharp and a large connection of knives, daggers, etc.
Despite their edgy and rebellious behavior, the two are exceedingly loyal to one another, and protective of each other- and while they may not show it (at all) the two do have a bit of a soft spot for Jocelyn as well (and her “Spunky little rat”)
They’re both in their mid-twenties.
Sharpe has bright red hair and blue eyes (like the pic above)
Curry is dark-skinned with short dreads that puff out to one side and markings on the bald side of his head.
They wear many belts to hold their various knives/daggers, and keep them all over (just like above, they can be on their waists, their shoes, etc)
