Chapter 2 - The Ultimate Sacrifice

Peter stood there. Completely exhausted in pain, scarred, physically and mentally. But he did it.

He cured them all, he saved them. Peter Parker fell to his knees exhaustion and pain hitting him like a train. It had been a long, painful and depressing night. But the sun was rising it was a new day now. Painting the sky in red and orange hues.

"Peter?" Peter heard his voice. He turned his gaze to look at Osborn. The man who killed May, destroyed Peter's life. Peter knew that his face would never leave his mind. The way he mocked and laughed at him moments after dealing a fatal blow to the woman who raised Peter. She was gone now.

Osborn looked around confused before coming to realization that the Goblin had taken control. He looked down at the body of who the Goblin had stabbed before being destroyed. And he was looking at Peter. He was…older now not the same young man he once knew not his sons best friend anymore.

He turned and looked back at Peter his face full of shame. "What have I done?"

Peter didn't respond, he only glared at him. Peter looked at Osborn for a few more minutes before turning to Peter 2 that was stabbed. "Hey Peter are you okay?!" He asked kneeling down next to him.

Peter 2 groaned softly and nodded. "Yeah I'm fine, I've been stabbed plenty of times before." He muttered giving a tired smile.

Peter was thankful that he would be fine. He heard someone land next to him, turning his head to look at the one who landed there and seeing Peter 3.

"Hey nice catch." He said through panting.

But he soon felt his spider-sense flare up to the point it felt like needles were piercing his head. Peter hissed in pain and clutched his head in pain.

Peter looked away from Osborn and at the sky. It was fracturing! Splintering like broken glass. Peter knew he had to talk to Strange.

Peter pressed his middle and ring finger against his palm and shot a web to the Statue of Liberty. With a quick tug he shot up towards the top of the statue.

"Strange what's happening!?" Peter asked as he landed on the top of the tower next to the sorcerer. "They're coming through!" He said as he cast a spell in a attempt to stop the collapse. "And I can't stop them!" He continued struggling to hold them back longer.

"There's got to be some way to stop them! Can't you just cast another spell? But the original before I screwed it up?" Peter exclaimed knowing this was all his fault. "No it's too late for that! They're almost here!" Strange said back as the spell failed and the shattering continued. The sky splintering and figures starting to appear from the cracks.

"There's no way to stop it now kid." He said looking up at the sky then back at Peter. "They're here Peter! They're here because of you." He finished.

"There's got to be some way to fix this Strange!" Peter said knowing this could destroy the world if it got worse. Peter felt guilt, all he felt was guilt and anger at himself now. This was because of him! May's dead, Ned and MJ will never get into collage now! He destroyed so much! All because of some desperate, Stupid mistake! And now everyone across who knows Peter is Spider-Man the multi-verse is coming here. Because…of him. And he knew he was going to fix it. Anyway he could no matter what. "Strange." Peter said softly, looking at the man. "You said they're here because of me right? They're here because people know I'm Spider-Man? Because they know about me?" Strange nodded in confirmation. Peter looked down at the ground again. He knew what he had to do now.

"Then make them forget. Make everyone forget… me." Peter said looking up. He knew what would happen if he did this but, he had to try something! There was no choice but to do this he caused this.

"No." Strange said with a weak shake of his head. "If we do that you know what will happen, everyone who knows and loves you….we." He said knowing Peter already knew the consequences. But he continued. "We'd have no memories of you. It'll be as if you never existed. And….just doing that wouldn't work anyway. It's you're very presence in this universe that's doing this."

Peter looked back up at the sky now realizing what he would have to sacrifice to save everyone and stop what he started. "….I can't even be here anymore can I Strange? In this universe can I sir" Peter asked his voice cracking because he already knew the answer.

Strange nodded solidifying Peter's thoughts into reality. "To fix this I'd have to cast you out of this universe entirely, and erase you from the memory of everyone. Not only will Peter Parker cease to exist…but Spider-Man can't even be present anymore."

Peter took a few shuddering breaths knowing he'd do anything to stop this. Besides like Ben and May said, 'With Great Power Comes Great Responsibility.' Peter felt tears beginning to pool in his eyes but he wiped them away.

"Do it." Peter said looking at Strange with a steeled determination. Having excepted the cost of saving everyone. "Cast the spell."

Strange hesitated for a few moments but he had come to the same conclusion as Peter. So he nodded. "Say you're goodbyes Peter, You don't have long." He said beginning to cast the spell that will seal Peter's fate to being erased.

"Thank you Sir." Peter said with a nod getting ready to jump back down to say goodbye for the final time. But he was stopped by Stranges voice. "Call me Stephen." He said with a smile. The kind that was final. Peter smiled softly in return. "Thank you Stephen." Strange smiled. "Still feels weird." And with that Peter jumped from the statue back down to say goodbye to…everyone, everything. Strange looked back to the sky and started casting the spell but not before making a small change maybe he can give Peter a second chance. And as the spell started the splintering stopped and started reversing. The cracks in reality already healing again.

As Peter fell back towards the ground he thought about his life. He never remembered his parents. They died when he only three. But what he did remember were his Aunt May and Uncle Ben being the closest to parents Peter ever had. And he took them for granted. First Uncle Ben when he learned to always help, always act when you can. Because when you don't that's when the bad things happen…and when they do happen it's you're fault. Peter didn't act once. And for that he lost Uncle Ben, the closest thing he ever to a father. And now his Aunt May was gone even though he acted this time. Peter just wasn't strong enough.

Peter thought about the spider. The one that changed his life made him the person he was now. Made him Spider-Man. Peter remembered Mr. Stark when he first recruited Peter to fight Captain America. Peter remembers when he beat The Vulture, he remembers the fairy the talk Mr. Stark gave him. He wanted Peter to be better.

Peter remembered Thanos the feeling of being choked by the Mad Titan being a source of nightmares for months. Peter remembered the feeling of fading away…would the feeling of being cast out from the universe be the same? Will it simply feel like Peter would fade away into dust? The question made his heart clench tightly. He hated thinking about that feeling, fading away. But he couldn't help but do it.

Peter remembered when Mr. Stark died. It was lie Uncle Ben all over again Peter wished he could've traded places with Mr. Stark for a long time. But he knew Mr. Stark wouldn't have let him die. Peter remembered Europe fighting Mysterio. He remembered his last words. "They'll believe it. Because people…they'll believe anything." That was where his world truly started falling apart. It wasn't long afterwards He exposed Peter as Spider-Man, framed him for his death…and they believed it. He was right people will believe anything. And in desperation Peter turned to Strange to fix it. But Peter messed it all up! And soon Peter will be gone. Spider-Man will be gone.

And with those final thoughts Peter landed on the ground with a thud. He looked around to find Ned and MJ. Once seeing them he started limping over to them clutching his side and gritting his teeth. "Peter!" They yelled as they saw him limp towards them. "I did it guys." Peter said softly as he reached them.

Peter smiled softly. He considered telling them about him being cast out from the universe but he decided against it. They won't remember him in a few minutes so what good would it do letting his only remaining friends know he would be gone forever. So he would only tell them they would forget. "Peter." MJ said as she pulled him into a tight hug that he returned. Soon Ned joined in the embrace and for what would probably be Peter's last. He was a little happy.

After he pulled away he wiped the tears that had started forming confusing Ned and MJ. "Ned…MJ. I need to tell you something." They nodded feeling concerned. "What is it Peter?" MJ asked.

Peter took a deep breath before letting it out slowly. "You're going to forget me." He said finally saying it knowing he needed to. "What? Peter what do you mean?" Ned asked with a look of despair. "You guys are going to forget about me." Peter repeated looking down in sadness. "W-what!?" MJ said tears starting to form in her eyes. "We can't forget. Not after everything! There has to be some other way! We can figure this out!" Peter shook his head softly. "No there isn't any other way. God knows I wish there was…but this is the only way." Peter said finally letting his tears fall.

"Promise us then." Ned said softly wiping his tears. "Promise you'll find us." Peter nodded. "I will. I'll find you and if I have to I'll make you remember me." Peter promised with a smile. "Good because if you don't I'll just figure it out myself." MJ said before pulling Peter into a kiss that Peter knew would they're final. Peter smiled and held her close for a few moments before letting out a breath. "I'll see you guys around." He said giving Ned a final hug and doing they're secret handshake. After he pulled away from them he slowly backed away before turning around and running to say goodbye and thank you to the other Peter's.

By the time Peter found the other Peter's the villain's had already disappeared back to they're home universes. And the once fractured sky was nearly repaired showing the spell was almost complete. "Hey guys it's almost done! You guys are going home!" Peter said as he walked to them. Peter 2 was now off the ground and was being supported by Peter 3.

"I-I don't know…how to thank you guys." Peter said at a loss for words on what to say. Unable to form proper words of thanks Peter simply hugging them tightly. "Thank you, thank you!" Peter said finally finding words to speak as they hugged him back. "Peter you know. It's what we do right?" Peter 2 said as Peter pulled from the hug. "Yeah…it's what we do." Peter agreed with a sad smile.

"I…I hope you guys the best in you're universes." Peter said wiping at the new tears falling from his eyes. Peter looked up at the sky and it was fully repaired. Peter had did it the spell worked he saved his world. Soon Peter would be gone. No one will remember what Peter sacrificed…and he was okay with that. Peter didn't need people to know what he did tonight. In fact they'll probably see him as a villain too. "Guess we'll be going huh?" He said looking back the other Peter's who were now being ingulfed by a white light. Peter didn't need to say anything about why he too was disappearing. They knew just from the look in Peter's eyes. The two Spider-Men gave one last peace sign before disappearing with a flash of light, leaving Peter alone.

"Huh…It does feel like when I turned to dust who would've known?" Peter murmured to himself as he looked down at his hands that were disappearing in a dark almost smoke instead of the bright light. Peter took a deep breath as he closed his eyes as he was cast out from the universe.

Strange spent his moments of his memories of the young man to say something quietly. One stray tear falling. "I'm sorry it ended like this kid…but I hope the second chance I gave you works." He said with a smile. And with that…Peter Parker was gone.

A/N

Okay so I wanted to try something new for the origin. I always imagined this stories Peter to be more like Tom's version, at least in appearence. Peter's gonna have different elements from multiple versions of Spider-Man. Plus I'm trying to get my chapters longer and I wanted to dedicate the first chapter to why Peter was even in the MHA world. While also keeping the original origin of Peter being sent to another universe be Dr. Strange. And since the ending of No Way Home didn't really make since to me I decided to change it a little. So instead of Peter was cast out. Since in the movie they say Peter being in the universe is why all the variants of Peter and his villains were coming to hs universe. So that's main reason I changed the origin. So yeah just tell me which version you guys prefer in the comments/(for the fanfiction readers) r
