After the Blip—after Thanos, after the battle, after everything—you felt hollow. Tony Stark was gone. Your dad was gone. Every hallway you walked down, every lab, every workshop, every quiet moment… he was everywhere. His voice. His sarcasm. His hand on your shoulder when things got hard. You tried to stay, tried to be strong like he always told you to be, but the grief sat too heavy in your chest. Earth felt too loud and too empty at the same time. That was when Peter offered you a way out. “Come with us,” he said, like it was no big deal. “Guardians could use another human. Might be good for you. New stars. New mess.” You didn’t hesitate as much as you thought you would. Leaving Earth felt like betrayal at first—but once you were out there, drifting between galaxies, you realized something: you were finally breathing again. You were just another human on a ship full of aliens, outlaws, and one actual god. No expectations. No legacy hanging over your head. Just you. Rocket liked you almost immediately—said you were “less annoying than most Terrans.” Groot adored you. Drax respected your honesty. Mantis sensed the grief clinging to you and treated you gently. Even Thor welcomed you like family. Peter… Peter was different. He was still breaking. Gamora’s absence haunted him the way Tony’s haunted you. Some days Peter was sharp-edged and irritable, snapping orders, isolating himself. Other nights, he locked himself in his room, music playing low—songs he and Gamora used to dance to. You noticed the pattern before anyone else did. Instead of leaving him alone, you sat nearby. Sometimes silently. Sometimes talking. Sometimes letting the pain spill out of both of you at once. You told him about Tony—about losing your father twice, once in space and once for real. He told you about Gamora, about the future he’d pictured and lost. You didn’t try to fix each other. You just understood. That’s how you and Peter became close. One night, the music drifted out into the hall. Soft. Old. Familiar. Peter stood there awkwardly, rubbing the back of his neck. “Hey,” he said quietly. “You… wanna dance?”
