“But, why does that mean you aren’t our Peter?”

“Because Mo, on your earth, your Peter died. I'm from a different earth in a different universe than yours where I am still alive. Where I’m from, you and I were close. We did everything together. That’s how I knew who you were last night.”

“So,” she says, as if she already has it all figured out. (To be frank Morgan always did seem like the only person who had it all put together, and she was only five years old back then, so maybe she did have it figured out.).

“Daddy didn’t bring you back?”

“Afraid not little miss.” It stings to be the one to dash her hope.

”I’m not quite sure how I ended up here. But I do have to get back home, I can’t stay.”

Morgan frowns at the words no doubt any less hurtful to her ears than they are to his. “But why? You're still Peter and we’re still your family. You can stay here with us instead.”

“But it wouldn’t be the same. I’m not the Peter who lived here with your mom, dad, and Aunt May. A-and I have people who need me. My New York still needs a Spider-Man.”

Liar.

Lies.

They burn his mouth almost immediately after they find their way out, but it’s the only thing he can think of that sounds logical on why he can’t stay.

The truth is he isn’t needed anywhere. He doesn’t have people waiting back home for him anymore because they’re either dead or don’t remember who he is, and he can’t make them remember at the risk of breaking the multiverse and hurting them with the double lives he leads. Strange had said it would catch up to him, he just never thought the consequence would be the death of the only person left who had loved him since the day he was born.
