Dragons, Superheroes and a Tear in Time

Chapter 42: How Many Doors (Peter)

Previously:

I mean it should be fairly fresh in your mind but he got attacked by weird lights and then died. Mr Stark had to shocky shock his heart like a dozen times to bring him back. While he had been dead he met an evil doctor strange who made it his life purpose to eradicate all spider men because of what happened in his universe. When he came around he told Captain America and Mr Stark that he thought he'd just met who's behind it.

Refer to the previous chapter for Hiccup's recollection of the recent events.

it's been edited a little but feel free to point out any mistakes!

Now:
Peter's POV

"I think... I think I just met who was behind this."

As I say it I roll onto my feet and attempt to stand on shaking legs, but Mr Stark grabs me by the shoulders and pushes me back down.

"Uh yeah, you're not going anywhere." He says, shaking his head firmly at me.
"What do you mean you met who's behind this?" Cap asks me. Before I can answer Kate warns of approaching robots. I shake my head, trying to clear the haze in my mind, and turn to see the robots approaching. There's a lot of them.

Toothless steps in front of us and spreads his wings, ready to attack the robots. Hiccup draws his fire sword, readying himself in the saddle. Captain America steps up next to them and presses a finger to his ear, "We'll draw them away."

Toothless takes to the sky while cap sprints across the ground.

"I should—I should help." I say out loud. I can't just sit here, the battle's not over!

"Peter, no. I mean it. You can't go moving around." Mr Stark responds. At least it's just us, or that would have given my identity away, very much so.

"He's right, Peter. Any strenuous activity could badly affect your health and you may end up without a pulse again." Karen says.

"But... but...he said he was... he said he's going to kill all of me..." I'd say more if I could, but it's exhausting enough as it is. Whatever just happened to me is still effecting my energy as I struggle to get the words out. I still don't know what those energy ball things were, I just know that they hit me then I was talking to the evil Strange and apparently dead. I groan, frustrated and still in pain if I'm being honest, but I don't make a move to get up. A robot flies overhead, having slipped through Toothless' and Steve's defences, but Mr Stark aims his repulsor at it and shoots, sending it crashing to the ground.

"They're amassing!" The coms crackle as Clint warns us. "It was kind of random before, they attacked anything and everything but now they're all heading in the one direction!"
"Right towards you, Stark." Thor exclaims. I frown, looking around. They're heading for me, that Evil Strange has sent them to kill me. That's got to be the only reason they're suddenly switching strategies.

"I'm still with the kid." Mr Stark interjects, spinning around to fire another blast just over me. I turn to see an alien fall. Why didn't my spider sense go off.
"I'm—I'm not a kid!" I retort into the coms, wanting to save face. My voice doesn't come out as strong as I'd like, I barely push the words out. "I'm... an adult."
"We're running out of options." Tony continues, firing another blast at a robot flying towards us. I raise my hand to shield my face from the rocks it kicks up when the robot hits the ground.
