[Comprehensive British and American] Mirage

The author has something to say: what really happened in the parallel world in the dream.

Ashley knew that her father didn't like her, but she didn't know why.

It wasn't until her tenth birthday, when she saw her father in tears, that she knew the answer from other people.

Because to Peter Parker, Ashley Left was a complete murderer.

"You killed my love."

Every year on her birthday, when Ashley was a little girl and wanted to ask her father for a present, she would get this answer.Facing the disgusted eyes of her dearest father, the little girl could do nothing but cry.

"A murderer like you, what qualifications do you have to receive the gift of blessing and live in this world?"

In this world without her mother, Wesley, it would be meaningless for her father, Peter.

Being hugged by the gentle and charming godmother Natasha, Ashley realized that she didn't know when she was crying. She looked at her father who was punched by Uncle Steve and lay on the ground, sobbing silently. More sympathy came from the female agent.

"Aisley is your and Weasley's child!" Uncle Steve, who would always talk to her gently, snarled at her father with rare emotion. "You can't blame the child for all your faults! Don't you know why Vesley insisted on giving birth to Ashley in the first place?! This is the treasure she left for you. She hopes that you can give birth to this child. As a continuation of her life, loving her and loving this world where Ashley still exists! But what have you done?!"

"But without this child—"

"Wesley will still be by my side." Peter covered his face with his hands, he didn't dare to look at Ashley's face that grew more and more like his mother, it would remind him of the night that made him lose everything In his arms, the smiling wife stopped breathing. "I can have no children, I just want my girl! Wesley is my everything!"

"But Ashley's everything is you!"

Steve lifted Peter, who had slumped to the ground, by his collar.

"Take a good look at Ashley and see how this girl has been neglected by you for the past ten years! Did you know that she was bullied at school? You never signed her report card, Even her parent meeting was attended by Natasha and I! When Wesley left, what did she tell you, did you fucking forget it?!"

After the Infinity War, Vesley, whose body was rapidly deteriorating, embraced all the love and expectations for the new life conceived in her decayed body.Even if the fetus in her womb keeps nurturing herself with her life, she will only use her bony fingers to gently and lightly stroke her belly, and then whisper her love for the child over and over again.

Maybe a woman predicted her own postpartum death earlier than the machine. When she was still alive, she would always look at Peter with firm and stubborn eyes, asking him to promise over and over again that it would be better than loving everyone. Love this unborn child even more.

Peter promised.

But his gaze never stayed on the round belly of the woman. His loving eyes were all focused on the woman's thin face due to pregnancy.

At the end of the war, Peter Parker was able to choose to give up the world in order to let Vesley survive.

Then he would not lose Vesley, who had carried the love of his life, for a child.

If she had known, she would have died...

"Then I wish Ashley had never been born—"

"You're crazy!" Among the people present, Steve was the one who could feel Peter's thoughts the most. He understood the feeling of losing a loved one, but the living people like them couldn't stand still. "We intend to hand over Ashley's custody to Natasha and Bruce. They will know better than you how to be a good pair of parents, instead of treating children as victims."

"I do not want!"

To everyone's surprise, the first person to object to this decision was actually Ashley who had been silent from the beginning to the end.

There were some differences between the little girl and Weasley's earliest expectations.

Wesley once looked forward to a little boy who looked very much like her husband, but the born Ashley seemed to be carved out of the same mold as her mother. Except for those honey-colored eyes like sunshine, there was no other place to resemble her father. Peter is similar.

"I want! I want to be with Dad!"

The little girl's body was blocked halfway, Steve hugged her lightly, trying to hand her over to Natasha next to her, but the girl resisted even more violently.

"I want daddy, I want mommy!!!"

Ashley, who had been a sensible child since she was a child, showed for the first time a stubbornness similar to her father.

"Dad, Dad doesn't have a mother anymore." The little girl stretched out her hand to her father in aggrieved manner. Even though Peter had never treated her tenderly, Ashley felt it. She knew that in the face of his father's despair, Under the hatred, there is hidden love for her, but Peter loves Wesley more, so that love for her seems insignificant. "But mom left me behind, I, I am mom's treasure, mom... Mom, I am the last basis for mom to stay in this world."

Peter trembled when he heard this.

In this era of rapid development, there are fewer and fewer things about Vesley that he can keep.

The existence of a woman is like a beautiful fairy tale in childhood, but fairy tales are fictitious. Peter does not hope that one day in the future, he will hold on to the illusory memory when he is dying, and even start to question whether Wesley is real. existed.

Why didn't my original self go with you?

Peter hugged Ashley, who was struggling and crying, and ran to his arms, but his slumped face was full of pain.

Why would you rather give your life to keep this child than stay by my side?

"Wesley's body, after the Infinity War, has completely failed."

Natasha released a shocking piece of news. She faced everyone's gaze and said slowly: "Even if she wasn't pregnant with Ashley, her body wouldn't last three years. We blocked it, except for the attending physician Hua Shiji and me, only Vesley herself knew about it. When she got the news, Vesley only said a few words."

"'Don't tell Peter.'"

"And 'I'm going to have this baby.'"

Vesley was calmer than anyone else when she learned the news that she was dying. Apart from smiling and shedding tears when she learned that she was pregnant, she didn't have any expression on her face.

"Wesley, I hope that Ashley can serve as a responsibility to tie you to this world."

Natasha recalled the woman's weak appearance, and she turned her head sadly.

"It's just that she didn't expect that you, who promised to take good care of Ashley, would break your promise."

"Obviously she never wanted to make anyone else suffer..."

"But I messed everything up, right?"

Peter said in a trembling voice: "I've always messed up everything Wesley arranged for me, obviously she was always good for me, but I didn't understand every time, and messed up all her arrangements in a rampage. mess."

"if it is possible···"

"I want to go with her too."

On that rainy night, in the woman's out-of-focus pupils, Peter, who was pinching her neck with a blue face, was reflected.

A second before Peter was about to lose consciousness, the cry of the baby awakened the last of his sanity.

Can't die.

You can't die either.

A man who originally had the will to die, is living because of his child.

Peter never tried to commit suicide after that, but he desperately accepted tasks and went out to work, relying on his body being transformed by spiders and wantonly spoiled.It wasn't until Tony couldn't bear to threaten him with the excuse of delisting the Avengers that he calmed down, and only accepted the tasks carefully selected by Jarvis on a regular basis.

"There won't be a next time." Natasha looked down at Ashley who was crying towards her, and felt her heart melt. "This time it was Ashley's request, that's why I agreed to her being taken away by you, but if there is another time..."

"No matter what happens, I will prioritize Vesley's will and Ashley's future."

"This is your last chance to show off, Spider."

"Give me a good compensation for the fatherly love you have lacked in the past ten years, little girl."

■

Wesley woke up from her sleep, and what she saw was her husband sleeping soundly beside her.

Thinking of Peter who abused her daughter in the dream, Vesley was so angry that she slapped the sleeping Peter's face.

"What happened?! Enemy attack?! Or is Ashley crying again?!"

Looking at Peter who hadn't figured out the situation, he woke up in a daze, and even subconsciously held her in his arms.Wesley, whose heart was softened by the man in her dream because of her painful and slumped performance, became angry when Peter mentioned her daughter.

"How dare you say so?!"

Pulling her husband's soft skin, Vesley frowned and looked at Peter's grinning face.

"Let me tell you, if you dare to treat my daughter badly, I'll throw you into the soul gem! Then take Ashley to remarry! Leave you far away from me! This life You don’t even want to see our mother’s face!!!”

"Why are you so angry?" Peter, who became more and more comfortable coaxing his wife after getting married, first secretly wrote down Wesley's small mistake of talking nonsense, and then put a smile on his face and leaned into her arms. "How could I treat Ashley badly, that's our daughter, I will definitely protect her well, of course, don't take it easy for those brats in the future..."

"Even if I die, will you treat Ashley well?"

"what?"

Peter froze for a moment, then smiled and kissed Wesley on the eyes. "What are you talking about? How could you die? Ashley is only less than one year old now, are you willing to abandon us father and daughter?"

"You know what I mean, Peter." Vesley let out a slow breath, and nestled in her husband's arms. "When I was born with Ashley, it was so dangerous. Even the notice of critical illness came down. You should know that I was very likely to die due to dystocia. If I really didn't make it through at that time, you would still treat me well. Ashley?"

"I do not know."

Peter lowered his head and buried his face in Vesley's hair, his voice muffled.

"But--"

"Can you stop talking, dear?" Peter said stubbornly, "I don't want to imagine the possibility you mentioned."

"···"

"Ok."

Vesley sighed.

She felt that at least compared to the dream that seemed to have happened in reality, she in this world was still alive and by their side.
