Chapter Text
Peter froze in thought. "What if everyone forgot who I was?" He offered.
"What?" Doctor Strange widened his eyes.
Peter always believed that his Parker Luck was real. When uncle Ben died, when his parents died, when everyone he was close to, died. He believed that it all happened because of his Parker luck. This situation was no different.
Peter took in a shaky breath, "They're coming here because of me, right? Because I'm Peter Parker? So cast a new spell." He took in another breath. "But this time, make everyone forget who Peter Parker is, make everyone forget..." Peter quickly closed his mouth and licked his lips. "me.."
Doctor Strange shook his head, "No.."
"But it would work, right?" Peter questioned.
"Yeah it would work..." Doctor Strange felt a lump in his throat and he swallowed it. "But you've gotta understand, that would mean that everyone.." He sucked in a breath. "..who knows and loves you.. we.." His lump in his throat formed again and his vision began to be blurry from his tears. "We'd have no memory of you.."
Peter looked up at Doctor Strange, taking in this not very new information.
"It would be as though you never existed" Doctor Strange added on.
Peter Parker sucked in a deep breath and slowly nodded his head. "I know... Do it."
Doctor strange nodded his head back at Peter and sighed sadly. "Yeah.. Better go say your goodbyes, you don't have long..."
"Thank you sir." Peter got ready to leave, only for Doctor Strange to cut him off.
"Call me Stephen.."
Peter slowly looked up to Stephen and smiled sadly. "Thank you Stephen..."
Steven let out a low chuckle, "Yeah... still feels weird..." He smiled at Peter, only for Peter to give a slightly big smile back.
"I'll see you around..!" Peter waved and webbed off to say goodbye to his friends and his other selves.
Little did Peter know, Stephen would change the spell slightly to give a hand to Peter.
"Peter... you're too young to bear all of this alone... for what you have done, and are doing for the sake of the universe, I'll give you a little gift..." Stephen smiled and altered the spell just a tad bit.
A few months after Peter Parker made everyone forget his identity
Peter Parker has been homeless, and he was taking a nice and long nap at a park on a bench. Only for him to be woken up by a random old guy with a metal- OH MY GOD ITS BUCKY BARNES. Peter quickly sat up and went to say something, only for Mr. Barnes to cut him off.
"Hey, Peter, right? What are you doing laying on a bench like a homeless person?" Mr. Barnes questioned, which... rude. I don't look homele- wait a minute.. why does he remember me?!
"Oh uh... sorry are you talking to me?" Its ok... maybe he just was talking about a different Peter that he would know... Who else has the name peter? The alien guy!!! Peter Quill! Do you see a Peter Quill around you? ANYWHERE??? Leave me alone..
"Who the hell else would I be talking to?? The fucking tree? Did you get a concussion and lose your memory or some shit?" Mr. Barnes snarked.
Peter frowned and crossed his arms. "No, I'm perfectly fine. Why do you remember who I am??"
"Why wouldn't I?"
"...Because me and Doctor Strange removed me from everyone's memory..?"
Bucky stared at Peter with his mouth hung open. "YOU WHAT??" He shouted. "WHY WOULD YOU IN YOUR RIGHT GODDAMN MIND DO THAT???"
Ok...So...Maybe it was a bad idea to tell Mr. Barnes?
"So you're telling me... You removed yourself from your loved ones memories.. because the universe was about to end?" It took about 2 hours of explaining for Bucky to finally understand and calm down.
"Yes!" Peter groaned. "And for some reason, you weren't one of those people to get their memories erased!"
"It sounds like to me that Strange just wanted someone to remember and look out for you." Bucky smiled at the realization of him being trustworthy enough for this. "Come to my place, you need a proper shower and decent clothes to wear."
Peter sniffed his arm and shook his head, almost gagging. "yup..! Yupyupyup.. coming..." He got up and followed Bucky back to his house.
Ok..so maybe it was a bad idea to go on patrol with Bucky...
To recap, Peter Parker moved in with Bucky, and after a few weeks they finally went on patrol for the first time together. The only weird thing about this is that on their patrol, Peter's Spidey Sense started to tingle, and of course Peter had to go investigate what it was that felt so dangerous. Bucky followed suit behind him and they came across a green looking puddle.
"The hell is that? And why is it glowing?" Bucky asked as he knelt above the puddle, poking it and rubbing his finger tips together to feel its texture.
"Why would I know? I'm finding this at the same time as you." Peter shrugged.
Bucky rolled his eyes at Peter and tried standing up, only to trip and accidentally fall into the "puddle", pulling Peter in by accidentally yanking on his arm.
Peter slowly opened his eyes to find himself shivering and practically naked, with only a big coat covering his lower body half. What the hell..? Wait.. Bucky?! Where's Bucky?! Peter quickly sat up, ignoring his lingering migraine and frantically looked around, trying to find Bucky, only to see him kneeling over the green "puddle" which now he knows is actually a pool because its fucking deep. That's what she said. Shut the hell up.
"B...Bucky..?" Peter muttered, trying to stand up, only for the soldier to turn to Peter and quickly help him lay back down.
"Hey now, you ok?" Bucky asked in a worry.
"Yeah... but.. why is your hair white..? And your eyes are green too.. They look like they're glowing..??" Peter complained in confusion.
"My hair?" He took his hair in his hands, but because of how short it was, couldn't see it. "yeah well.. how about you? You also have glowing green eyes and a strand of white in your hair."
"Huh?" Peter furrowed his eyebrows in confusion and took his hair, pulling some of it to stretch his curly locs only to find that his hair, was indeed also white. "Okay.. what the fuck."
