Kapitel 11: Can’t Save Them All
In New York the landscape has never been more gorgeous. Swinging over buildings and busy streets was all fun and games until the test of strength began. To test if the Queen of another planet is truly capable of harnessing more than one strength.
For over a week Sakura has been helping the neighborhood, and fighting crime with Peter Parker while the world was more or less in a state of peace. One afternoon she took on a new task on her own. One she should have waited to do, but her pride took over her mind.
Sakura sighed looking over crowds of people from the rooftops, "Now what do we have here?"
A green haze casted a clothing spell to cover Sakura's eye's with an identical Spider-Man mask with only half her face. Her spider lenses zoomed in to identify all the criminals by the Park. Checking for unusual activity. By a bench, a middle-aged man sat checking for his clock every twenty minutes. Next to his foot laid a suitcase with a four-digit code lock. Karen, Sakura's suit, scanned the suitcase. The device inside is detected as alien. Nothing inside was created on Earth, so a possible alien weapon.
"I thought Peter had fixed the problem with the alien weapons? How come this guy has an alien weapon?"
"This weapon is not from the invasion on Earth."
"Good, we made sure to dispose of them properly this time."
"It appears to be an orb with massive amounts of energy circling within it."
"Could it explode?"
"Yes. If the orb were to break it could blow up to five hundred square feet."
"What?"
From the rooftop, she jumped down to the alleyway and carefully observed the man in the suit. She checked the time on her watch to carefully keep an eye on the time. School is let out at around two-thirty in the afternoon. Her web shot to the other side of the street flying her above the man sitting on the bench. She shot webs at his hands to immobilize him before perfectly landing in front of him. He cursed himself reaching for the suitcase with his foot. Webbing his feet down she grabbed the suitcase in her hands looking down at this lock on the side of it. She removed her Loki daggers to pry it open as the man shouted.
"Give that back! This is illegal. What gives you the right to steal my belongings?"
"Sir, you have a high density alien energy inside this suitcase. I'll have to take this from you, I'm sorry."
Another man approached her from behind holding a tree branch. He quickly held it around her neck pulling her back and choking her. Sakura flung her arm out reaching for rock and smacking him over the head with it. Both of them fell far from one another searching for the suitcase. She tossed her knives and stabbed him in the hands. Leaning over him she removed the orb from the case using sorcery laying it on her hand. Leaking blood from the palms of his hands he screamed in agonizing pain.
"Humans are so pitiful. You steal junk from space you're unable to control. I used to love taking my son to this park, but not any more thanks to you. What was your plan here? Kill children. To kill their parents."
"That's classified." The man on the bench screamed.
"I don't believe this. There has to be a way to deactivate this. How did you get your hands on this?"
"None of your business witch!"
"That wasn't very nice of you to say. Hasn't your mother ever said if you have anything bad to say don't say it all?"
A couple of knives struck his thighs and feet as he struggled to move. She left as far as she could, but the screams wouldn't leave her mind. Sakura carried the device to the ocean and dropped it watching the light fade away. Bubbles surfaced and a small sound of an explosion. A few fish surfaced, but that was a little price to pay for the lives those men could have taken.
The lake suddenly froze over before Sakura had the chance to walk away. Concerned, she watched, thinking of her memories of Loki. His Frost Giant Form. The orb probably had something to do with Jotunheim. Sakura didn't pay too much attention to it and added a few more crimes to pass the day by. Jewelry store thieves and the usual wallet theft had not struck her by surprise. Time is almost up for the day, and her shift is left in Peter's hands unless she chooses to join him. She patiently took a break sitting on a rooftop looking over the trains. Remembering her first days as an Avenger during the war:
"What? She's my height and looks around my age. She's cute. How is this wrong?" Parker quietly complained.
"Kid she's thousands of years old and you are in fact still a child. You jumped out of your high school bus just to help us save the world." Doctor Strange complained.
"Actually the truth is Sakura was born on Earth. Another civilization on another planet kidnapped her at a young age and left her at Asgard's doorstep." Thor mentioned.
"Do you remember where on Earth you are from?" Doctor Strange asked.
"My memory is a mess about what happened to me. It's a planet called Jotunheim, Frost Giant territory. I believe their goal was to take me hostage in order to negotiate with Earth someday. I am not sure as to why they stopped, but I was attacked and..."
"Dropped off at the nearest planet because they had no use of you anymore..." Parker said.
"Listen, I bet Tony already told you guys everything. My records will tell you I was born in the Bronx." Sakura replied.
"How old are you?" Doctor Strange asked.
"That's rude to ask her age!" Scarlet the witch said.
"No, it's okay. I'm twenty years old."
"This relationship is so illegal." Doctor Strange said, rubbing his face.
"I dated a robot, so what? Nobody has to know. She looks like a high school student." Scarlet said
"You do realize she recently lost her husband, my brother," Thor said.
"Ah man, she could have been my little Black Widow Spider if Natasha didn't already claim the name," Parker mentioned.
"Did you hear a word Thor said to you?" Doctor Strange said.
"Peter, she lost the love of her life. Someone who she loved more than anything in the world. Sakura was willing to die for him if need be, and now that he is gone before her she's barely hanging on. She's dying inside mentally. The love you feel for her now is how she felt about Loki for over a decade." Scarlet clarified.
"No, I understand now. I'll leave her alone..." Parker said in a sorrowful voice.
"No, don't leave her alone. She needs time to heal."
"How long do I wait?"
"As long as it takes."
"And don't you dare hurt her. If I hear from her that you hurt her or if I witness anything I will not hesitate to take you down." Thor said, holding his axe to his face, "I am her brother-in-law after all..."
"Right..." Parker said in fear for his life, "I don't want to wait that long..."
"If you really want her that badly you'll have to do something to impress her." Said the Scarlet Witch.
"Sakura is not a fan of living a boring life. She loves adventure and helping people most of all." Thor mentioned.
"Thanks. I'll keep that in mind... I might know something she might be interested in..." Parker smiled walking away
She recalled a much more recent memory of Peter working so hard to impress her in Avengers Headquarters. This was when they had to place everything in storage. They've returned to help out in honor of Stark. Peter chased after Sakura in a room. Sakura pulled out a device out of thin air using her sorcery. She pressed the middle circular button at the bottom of the device. The rectangular screen brightens up opening to an electronic photo album. Pictures of Asgard over the years after the invasion in New York.
"So if the Royal Family of Asgard are Gods and Goddesses then what are you the Goddess of...?" Parker said casually entering her room.
"Goddess of Peace!" Sakura laughed, "I'm kidding. I am only a human using Asgardian sorcery..."
"Yeah but that may not be a bad thing." Parker said sitting down beside her, "You have an iPad? I didn't know they had iPads in Asgard."
"When Loki and I took over the Throne so that Thor could join the Avengers in protecting the world, I traveled to Earth without Loki's permission. I stole this where Loki took over for a while until the Avengers finally arrested him." Sakura sighed, "Listen... He was brainwashed and he didn't do anything wrong. Thanos controlled him... used him..."
"I believe you. I also believe that you have stolen Happy's iPad." Parker laughed, "So what are those pictures?"
"I took photos of Asgard. My wedding with Loki. Our time together as we ruled over a planet together. I was a hero to them." Sakura said, sliding her fingers across the screen to show each photo to him.
"You still are. What happened was not your fault. This place is Incredible. I wish I could have lived here."
"Yeah..."
"Listen, I really like you. I love your sweet voice, and the smell of cherry blossoms. You are so beautiful..."
"I'm....," Sakura sighed.
"Right, no sorry! I was trying to also say I'm here for you."
"Thank you. I really like you too honestly, but for now I need a break from relationships at the moment."
"No, it's perfectly fine. I'm here for you if you need me. If you need a shoulder to cry on, and someone to talk too. Anything at all I'm here."
"Same to you."
From that memory, she recalled eventually getting over Loki after spending so much time with Druig. She felt so horrible forgetting him like that. He might still be alive out there, or he might be dead either way Loki might never accept this reality. A reality where she lives and fights side by side with the Avengers. A tall bearded man hovered in front of her. He suddenly grabbed her neck and held her up in the air laughing away with a big smile on his face. He seemed to take great pleasure in choking her.
"I know who you are, Spider-Woman, and I don't appreciate you throwing my merchandise in the river like that. It didn't belong to you. Now I have to somehow fix my plans and undo what you did."
As her body swung front to back she pulled her knife out and struck him. Instead of blood ice hardened around the knife shattering the metal. He reached out his hand to her face. An orb formed in his hand glowing brighter than the other orb had at the time. The man dragged her to the ledge letting go of her throat. She fell webbing the orb and pulling down with her when she meant to grab his hand to yank his scrawny body down with her. Peter swung by catching her unaware of the ice bomb was soon to explode and landed them on the roof nearby.
"Peter!" What are you doing?" Sakura yelled.
"What are you doing?" I had to hear it from Happy that you've been on a case without me. What's going on?"
"Peter the bomb!" Sakura screamed, "It fell out of my hand when you caught me!"
An explosion blew them both over the roof to the other side of the building. Innocent civilians were screaming for their lives to escape the blast. From all over people were running in the opposite direction. Peter, in complete shock he slowly turned his head to her. Underneath his mask, she knew by the tightening of his fists he was not happy with her.
"Go..." Peter quietly said to her.
"Peter, I had it. I'm also not used to fighting when there are so many innocent lives around. I didn't even know there were this many. I am so sorry. I know you said not to do anything without you knowing about it."
"Leave, so I can undo the mess you've created. Go home, I should not have asked you to come here."
"Peter, I'm sorry..." Sakura cried out.
In tears, she ran as far as she could. Her legs carried her over rooftops. One rooftop led her to a balcony. Heavy ceramic pots full dried dirt and dead plants. As if this place has been abandoned for years. Before Sakura could move on she tripped over a moving green plant vine. Her arms and legs have small cuts and bruises. Nothing to be concerned about. She was in tears once again. Her throat felt like it was closing up and she couldn't breathe. Below her, a portal opened up and she fell through to solid wooden flooring. A red cloak swooped in and cradled her to cushion her fall.
"Sakura Astoria. Queen of Asgard," Doctor Strange asked waiting for a response, "What brings you to my home of horrors?"
You knew didn't you?" Sakura cried.
"Pardon?"
"You knew Tony Stark was going to die, and you didn't do anything about it."
"His death was the only way we could have won. I desperately searched for possible outcomes, but in the end, our win resulted in Tony's death. The one way we win."
"I don't believe you! Can't you turn back time? If you can't fix this then I don't know what I can do to help Peter. He and I have drifted apart. Peter doesn't even want to talk to me anymore. I was so distracted I accidentally blew up an entire street full of people. I'm not used to living on this planet. I want to go back to Asgard. Can't you undo it?" Sakura cried while lying on the floor.
"No, I'm sorry I can't. If we alter the past more we might face our permanent extinction. I won't risk that."
"What do I do? Life was so much better before all this..." Sakura cried.
Scratching the skin on her arms screaming and heavily breathing. The cape wrapped itself around her hands covering her deadly claws. Doctor Strange approached her, holding up her arms to see old and new scratch marks on her forearm. He sat behind her and leaned her on himself for her safety. Sakura's eyes are red and swollen. Her liquid makeup ran down the side of her cheeks in lined streaks. She thought nothing in the world could save her.
"I know it's hard. Life won't be any easier than it already is. We die to remind us how precious life is and how we should spend our time. So don't do this to yourself. You have a great future ahead of you don't waste it moping on the floor. When I practiced medicine to do surgery I killed so many people. Not on purpose. We make mistakes, and we learn from them. We grow and it helps lead us to a brighter future. There would be no future if we didn't make any mistakes and learned from them."
"What should I do?"
"You should heal yourself for starters. Where is Nari?"
"He's at home. A friend of the family is caring for him. I don't want to go home."
"Stay here tonight. I'll go buy us some dinner and we can talk about this."
"Are you sure?"
"Yeah, why not? Usually, I'm here by myself and Wong is here sometimes. You can go home if you want."
"No, I'll stay here," Sakura said smiling.
"Great. I'll be right back."
Strolling out the front door he left her by herself in the building. The room is cold and filled with books and artifacts as old as this planet. Her hands covered by the red cloak finally lifted and wrapped around her like a blanket. She giggled petting it like a dog watching it circle around entertaining her. Almost like a magic trick using the thinnest threads to move it like a puppet. Doctor Strange thirty minutes later walked back inside holding a bag of Chinese food. He stood perfectly still frowning and smiling at his happy cloak dancing in the room. Once it noticed the cloak returned to Sakura's shoulders wrapping itself around her body.
"This cloak is something special." Sakura giggled.
"Yeah I've never seen it do that before." Doctor Strange said approaching her, "It's called The Cloak of Levitation."
"So this cloak has its own will. I'm assuming it won't let me wear it because you're its master."
"No, it chooses whoever it wants."
"So if I were to learn this Sorcery from Earth will it come to me?"
"Maybe. Who knows nobody can control it. I'm glad he likes you."
Instantly she felt a slight push as if she was being thrown in time and pulled back out. She looked around and noticed an old traditional dining room. Wooden chairs surrounded this decent sized wooden table. Doctor Strange sat down and waved at her to do the same despite her confusion. The cloak of Levitation continued to stick to her as she sat down to eat on a table already set for two people. Frightened Sakura didn't move looking around the room as she started to eat her dinner.
"You are frighteningly powerful..." Sakura quietly said.
"I've been doing this for seven or so years. I lost track. So I checked outside and you didn't kill anyone. Some may have lost a few limbs, but other than that everyone's okay."
"Damnit."
"It wasn't completely your fault. If Peter had not caught you there would have probably not been any casualties depending on where you would have tossed it. He will stop these guys."
"Here's the issue: those devices were not from Earth. It's like this guy had Frost Giant powers. I couldn't stab him. His hands were cold, but not enough to freeze my hand to death. It seriously brought back memories I did not want to remember."
"I'm sorry to hear that. I know how you feel." Doctor Strange said looking down on his hands.
"What happened to you?"
"I was in a car accident. Broke my hands. I spent every penny I had on expensive experimental surgeries that didn't work. Later on I came across a man by the name of Karl Mordo who led me to this place in Nepal called Kamar-Taj. I was searching for it before I met him, but I never was able to find it without him. The Ancient One taught me the way of magic, and here I am."
"The Ancient One? Another Master of the Mystic Arts."
"She was until she died protecting our sanctum. I was there. She accepted her fate."
"I'm sorry to hear that."
"What I am trying to say is that we all have pasts that we once loved dearly, and within a moment it all can change. Don't dwell on it. Change is good. If Asgard had not been destroyed you wouldn't have met the Avengers. You wouldn't have met me or the Cloak who oddly is attracted to you. All these good memories."
"Okay."
Her smile brought joy to the Cloak of Levitation. The cloak spun around the table three times hovering between them next to the table stashed with empty Chinese take out boxes. Doctor Strange watched her laugh away in amusement of this new world she had found. He held out his hands and sparks flew forming geometric shapes in front of her. To show off her sorcery Sakura pointed to objects over the table lifting the items without physically touching them. She collected all of the boxes and neatly placed them back in the bag for a quick clean up.
"What else can you do?" Doctor Strange said, lifting his body off the chair.
"I can manipulate your mind."
Without his knowledge, she multiplied herself. Her fake body stood from the chair and walked over to Strange from the left to distract him. She smiled talking about how she became a Sorceress and met Loki through Queen Frigga. Leaning in closer and closer to distract him from her real body who walked to the right side of Strange. She plucked the Sling Ring from his hips before he turned his head noticing her real body. The other one faded away as he turned his head back and forth.
"Can I have my Ring back?"
"I don't know, can you?"
Holding the Ring in her hand she backed up recklessly inside a portal Strange had created behind her. Leading her to the other side she tripped over Strange's lap and fell on top of him. Doctor Strange removed the ring from her hand then lifted her up to carry her over to a bedroom nearby. Sakura didn't bother standing back up on her own and submitted to him gently tossing her in bed.
"I don't always carry one ring with me. I carry two sometimes in case I get in any trouble. It's late. We can do more magic tomorrow." Strange laughed.
"Okay..."
The door closed behind Strange and the darkness of the room surrounded her. She curled up underneath the blankets using sorcery to change to regular clothes and remembering old memories of Peter that were the most fun she had in a long time. Unaware of what is going on in his head at this moment she looks back in time:
Sakura sat down on the roof of Peter's building staring out at the colorful city lights and sirens of police cars speeding through the busy streets. Peter Parker sat beside her in tears. He leaned his head on her shoulder watching the sun go down. Summer is coming to an end and he would have to start school again soon.
"The view is amazing up here..." Sakura smiled.
"Yeah, it is. I sat up here every night watching the stars because I couldn't fall asleep."
"I can only imagine what you have gone through. It must have been so frightening when you faded away like that. Not to mention coming back and losing Tony so soon."
"It felt like my entire body had gone numb. I've never told anyone that before. Now we're here without him. It happened so fast when he snapped his fingers. Gone just like that."
"I did miss you... I'll have to adjust to living here from now on. Thor said it took him some time to adjust, and yet he decided to leave to fight crime in space."
"I forgot you lost the planet you lived on before Earth. You know what, I'll help you. I'll show you around and I can teach you how to use those web-shooters properly, and I will take you out on a real date."
"You know so much about me, but I don't know anything other than the fact that you basically are a spider. I don't know how often you get this question... Can you control spiders too?"
"No, I can't." Peter laughed.
"How did it all begin? I want to know everything." Sakura smiled, "Start from the top."
"My name is Peter Benjamin Parker. I was born on August 10, 2001, in the Queens of New York. I was an orphan raised by my Aunt and Uncle. My Uncle passed away though. I attend a tech school where I made some friends I guess. When I was around ten years old I went to the Stark Expo. It's an event where a large group of people come together to praise Stark and see what he has been working on. I was given a toy replica of Tony's mask, gloves, and his signature. I was so happy at the time. Although the second time I attended Stark's Expo we were attacked by these Hammer Drones. I helped him destroy one of them and he thanked me for it. This was before I even knew him."
"How cute! You were so brave. Still are of course." Sakura giggled.
"That's not really where my crazy life story began. When I was a teenager a spider bit me and I was given this crazy speed and strength. I can even walk on walls and ceilings! The spider that bit me had died, and I kept my identity a secret... for the most part... I wanted to use my powers to help people so I created this synthetic webbing. This tiny device here helps me shoot them from my hands."
"How did Stark find out about you becoming Spider-Man?"
"He found videos of me on the internet. Similar to what you saw on the iPad of Hulk smashing Loki around. He randomly appeared in my house and gave me a grant from his industry to continue my work. He took me to Germany to fight Captain America and gave me a brand new suit. I easily took his shield away from him and stood with the Avengers for a little while until I had returned from Germany. Life returned to normal for me. I helped people like usual. Stark wanted to help me become better than him, and he still does want to help me. I'm grateful for that every day."
"Were you dating someone before Thanos snapped his fingers and broke the universe...?" Sakura asked.
"I kind of dated a girl named Liz for a short period of time until I found out her father was a criminal I was trying to put away. I left her at the school dance to fight her father, and she ended up moving away. I haven't talked to her since."
"Do you still love her?"
"No...No! That was a long time ago. I really like you, though. I love how you smile and laugh. I love your kind innocent heart. You saved women and children and protected those who couldn't protect themselves. I love how strong you are emotionally-"
"I'm broken!" Sakura said as she cried and laughed, "My heart shattered when Loki died, and my mind is fracturing from all of this super hero shit."
"Then I'll fill the cracks with gold. You are imperfect in your own perfect way. You may not be a Queen anymore, but you'll always be mine." Peter said, reaching out for her hand.
She grabbed his hand and he pulled her up to kiss her. Peter wrapped his arms around her holding her body tighter and tighter. Sakura gently pushed Peter away and turned to face the dark sky covered in starlight. Tears are flowing down her cheek as her relationship issues are a mess at the moment.
"I'm sorry It's complicated..."
"No, don't apologize, I didn't mean to. It's my fault."
"Could you promise me something?" Sakura asked as they had stopped.
"Anything?" Parker said, rubbing her cheek.
"If one of us had to die for the survival of the universe you have to let me go..."
"No..."
"Promise me, Peter."
"No! You have a child."
"And you have a future you'll want to look forward to."
"Not without you! I won't let it come to that."
"You are younger than me. I'm your Queen so you have to agree to what I say. If you want me then promise me you'll live!"
"What..?" Parker cried, "I don't want to lose you too..."
"How do you think I feel? I have nothing left Peter. The Hero's of the universe are all I have, and even then I'm pretty much alone. The only other hero here is Doctor Strange."
"If anything happens we go to him. We have to rely on him for help only if we absolutely need him."
"He shouldn't have to babysit us. Don't bother him, we'll be okay."
City life is very different from living by an ocean breeze. Sakura closed her eyes and listened to the noises of large crowds and cars honking. Engines are roaring in all directions and people in shopping cars are jingling bottles and cans. Unable to fall asleep in this new environment, Sakura lifted herself off the bed to look out the window to see the city lights once more. All the colors of the rainbow in one big city, and a puff of smoke from where the explosion happened nearby. Her heart was racing again, so she quickly left the room to see the view above the staircase. Doctor Strange, wearing a simple black shirt and dark grey sweatpants, unexpectedly approached behind her throwing a light blanket over her.
"You seem to have frequent Anxiety and Panic Attacks ever since I first met you on Titan. You have so many fears you obsess over it to prevent anything from going wrong. I know that you care about people, and all you want to do is save the universe, but you are not alone."
"Yeah, well I can't save the world if I'm not happy anymore. I can't protect the people I care about without screwing it up. When Odin locked me up in prison I should have offered my life to go down to Earth and bring Loki back. I should have told Loki I was pregnant before jumping on that one-way ship out of Asgard. Now I should have-"
"Stop. Don't beat yourself up about the past you can't change. Think about the lives you saved."
"Right. I'm sorry I must be so annoying dwelling on this."
"It's normal."
"Why are you helping me?"
"I'm interested in the world you once lived in. The Sorcery you use, and your cell regeneration. How you use magic to heal It's beautiful. The powers you possess are incredible."
"What are you talking about? Doctors are also incredible. I'll have you know being able to travel the world without paying to do so is so much fun. Seriously If I had your magic I wouldn't have to move. If I want to be in the kitchen to grab a snack before bed, boom, I'm there and back. No wasted time too and from."
"What's wrong with a little exercise?" Strange laughed.
"I'm so powerful I might even be able to fix your hands."
"No way. Show me."
"Only if you show me how to wave my arms in the air to show my true magical abilities." Sakura giggled.
Nearby Sakura laid him on a couch gently placing his hands at his side. She stretched out her hands hovering them over his tall body. Her eyes followed her own hands waving up to the air an orange glow arose from his body like a spirit. Humanoid but the specs of light showed no details a human would understand. To Doctor Strange, they looked like the stars in the sky but in different colors. Sakura touched the form above him, checking the ins and outs of it.
"You've been through a lot of trauma in your lifetime. Not just your hands. I'm not surprised at how healthy you are."
"This is amazing. What is it?"
"How do I put it...? It's like a scan of your entire body lifted from you so we can see what's wrong inside and outside at the same time without all the machines and gadgets you all use. None of those devices were ever needed on Asgard."
"This could change the face of medicine..."
The humanoid spirit vanished inside of his body. The thought of changing the world like this with Sakura's help could win him millions. Doctor Strange attempted to stand back up, but before he had the chance Sakura pushed him back down. She raised his hands hovering above him.
"Keep your hands up."
"There's more?"
"You have no idea."
Spreading her hands to hover over his scarred hands a bright line shined over him making the veins, muscles, and bones visible from inside his body. Strange pulled his hands towards him breaking away the sorcery and preventing him from seeing any further. She crawled over him reaching underneath his clothes healing his muscles and aching pain away just by touching his skin. Doctor Strange lifted his head kissing her soft fragile lips. He pushed her down on himself, removing her shirt before removing his own. Using his strength Strange pulled himself up and tossed her down so he could be on top. The kissing went on for some time as he yanked her pants down. Strange pulled away and looked up at the door frightened and out of breath. Someone is knocking on the large door quietly.
"Shit..." Doctor Strange pulled himself off her, "It's Peter."
"Doctor Strange? I know it's late, but I don't know where Sakura is. I'm getting a little worried."
"Sakura, go upstairs and put on your Spider suit to make it look like you haven't been here for very long. I'll come up with something." Doctor Strange said.
Panicking Sakura did exactly what he said. She transformed back to her Spider suit and waited upstairs where neither of them could see her but a place where she could hear them. Strange teleported Peter inside the building watching him look inside impressed by the interior.
"Doctor Strange I promised Sakura I wouldn't bother you, but she's not answering her phone, and-"
"Sakura's safe."
"Where is she? Is she okay? I really screwed this up with her. You have to tell her the incident today was not her fault. I wouldn't be surprised if she does not want to see me again..."
"Sakura had a few bruises, but she's fine now."
"Bruises?"
"Her neck and limbs were banged up. She healed herself pretty well."
"Peter," Sakura yelled.
At the top of the stairs, Sakura stood wearing her Spider suit. They locked lips at the bottom of the staircase embracing each other in front of Doctor Strange. She looked at his red eyes and puffed face gently wiping his tears away. His face is dirty and banged up. Nothing else is noticeable under his spider suit.
"I don't want to lose you, I'm sorry. Everyone in the explosion is okay, and it was my fault not yours okay."
"On my way back I tripped and fell coincidentally on the sanctum. He dropped me from the ceiling and helped me. His cloak of Levitation is so cute you need to see it."
"Thank you, Doctor Strange, for taking care of her. I'll take her home with me tonight. May will be pleased to see you again."
"Yeah, no problem at all. Does your Aunt know Sakura has a child?"
"Uh, no." The two responded.
"Oh, boy... Bye, you can leave now."
Strange teleported them both out of the building at the front door. Sakura giggled jumping in Peter's arms. He took them both to his home allowing Sakura to remove both their suits with sorcery. The aroma of cooked beef stew brushed up against their faces as Peter opened the door.
"Hey, May, I'm home. Sakura's here too."
"Sakura! So glad to see you again. I'm making Beef Stew. It's almost done so sit down at the table. I'll place down another table set. If I knew you were coming I would have done something special."
"No, don't worry about it. It's okay."
"It's been awhile since I last saw you. How have you been?"
"I'm doing okay. I've been working hard."
"Adjusting here will take time. If you need anything I'm here for you."
"May, she's a Queen she doesn't need your help. Sakura has armed guards and Valkyrie."
"That's right. Queen of Asgard, right. Isn't that where Loki and Thor are from? Are you married to either one of them?"
Peter nearly choked on his food, "Okay, I'm full now. Sakura is going to a sleepover tonight. So we'll fall asleep on the couch watching some movies."
"Sleepover party'' sounds like a great idea. I'll clear off the table. Do you want me to make some popcorn?"
"May it's fine I got it," Peter said, picking up the dishes.
"Okay. I'll be in my room and leave you two lovebirds alone, but no funny business. I'll come out and check on you two later."
"May..."
"Love you, night."
"Goodnight...!"
"Night." Sakura giggled, "I love her."
