Is that necessary?

Summary:

Before being wiped out from the memories of millions, Peter asks Dr. Strange, no, Stephen for a different start. Peter asks to be sent to a universe where they could use a Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man. Reluctantly, Stephen gives him his wish, knowing the world doesn't deserve this kid. However, with heighten emotions, Stange sends him to Gotham, New Jersey, where in their world are comics.

For Peter, he wakes up in a vat of green goo, senses going haywire, and the most disturbing smell he's sure won't leave his nose for a while. Wait.... Green goo, DISGUSTING SMELL, haywire senses... Peter eyes widen as he makes his evaluation...
" WHAT THE FUCK?!"

Chapter 1: Farewells

Chapter Text

Peter was feeling exhausted. Not only physically but mentally too. The battle against the Green goblin almost made him lose control. He was shaking about it currently because, Peter realized he was actually going to kill him. What would Aunt May say if she saw him. Even the mention of her, brought tears to his eyes. Shaking his head to get back to the present, Peter stared at Strange realizing what he would have to do.

“Do it Stephen, I’ll- You guys are going to be okay.”

Stephen looked at the kid with sorrow and sighed. “Peter, Yea it would work, but you do realize everybody who has ever loved you, we- they would have no memory of you.”

Peter nods and sadly smiles, "I know-but it would work right?” Strange closes his eyes.

Suddenly the thought of giving the kid a better life came popped up in his mind. He had enough time to do it after all.

“I could give you a better life, Peter.” “You deserve a better life.”

From those words alone, Peter felt his already crushing world, mend itself. Giving Stephen a small smile, he suggests maybe another world could use their own friendly neighborhood Spider-Man.

Giving his own little smile, Stephen thought in mind, (Earth without Spider-Man from Spider-Man across the spider verse)

” Maybe so Peter.” Losing concentration in the process, Stephen’s thoughts turn to a harsher Universe, Gotham, and their own “problems.” His hands listen. “Are you ready Peter?”

“Am I ever, Stephen?” With a downward smile and head down, Peter whispers, "Stupid Peter Parker luck strikes again.”

“Goodbye Peter, have a nice new life. “Stephen says.

Taking a deep breath, Peter braces himself for Dr.Strange to work his magic.

“Alright, in 3…2…1” says Strange

As Peter begins to glow, Strange takes a second look. His eyes widen. “Shi-“

Peter hears Strange for a moment, wondering what happened. But at this point he’s gone.

His world turns black.
