Multiverse.

( ...is that it? Well no, because he's busily chewing on the implications. I'm sorry I'm not the right one hurts unexpectedly, the matter-of-factness, the acceptance as Tony wrestles with his own immediate, complicated swell of disappointment.

He isn't the "right one", but he's still Peter Parker, he's still Spider-Man, he's still a kid who dreams big and rushes explanations like his thoughts run too fast for him, and here he goes, thinking of others over himself, too. Just like the right one, like the kid he got to see for all of a handful of minutes, on a battlefield trillions of miles away.

Tony honestly thinks he might cry, the way his face heats and his eyes burn, like he hasn't enough already over the course of this whole trip, and scrubs a hand across his face with a slow sigh. Checks himself, again, and continues smoothly, )


Different universe, different timeline. Everyone here I know from home has a similar deal going on. You're just a little more removed from our bullshit. Which, I gotta tell you, is probably a good thing.
