"MR. STARK!!!" Peter cried, sprinting at full speed towards a surprised billionaire. The moment Tony laid his eyes on his precious child, tears fell and he reached out to hug him. To make sure he wasn't dreaming again. To be certain that Peter Parker WAS actually standing in front of him, crying, and holding onto him for dear life.

"Peter! Peter oh my god, Peter Peter Peter..." Tony mumbled into Peter's shoulder, quietly crying, not even caring about how he looks to the outside world, because HIS world was finally right in front of him.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Stark, I'm sorry" the teen cried, his grip on Tony's back increasing, but not to where it hurt at all.

"Shh. you've got nothing to be sorry for, everything is OK" He tried to reassure, gently stroking the younger boy's back in an effort to comfort him. Peter gasped, and pulled back from Tony.

"But, you said that if I died, you'd blame yourself! And I DID die, and I shouldn't have, AND I could have gotten the gauntlet off Thanos but I couldn't, I wasn't good enoug-"

"Enough of that bull shit. You and I both know that you did amazing during that battle, and you're BACK Peter. You're back and you're ok and IT'S ok and everything is ok, and I'm so glad you're back" Tony said, looking into Peter's eyes, trying to convey the message. "I'm so goddamned proud of you" He said, his voice cracking as Peter pulled him into another hug.

When people say that "something felt like hours" they mean it took way too long, and they hated it. Well when Tony hugged Peter and it felt like it took hours, it felt so long, yet it ended too quickly.

"Tony" a voice said from behind him. The man turned around, and saw none other than Stephen Strange. Man was he a sight for sore eyes.

"Stephen" Tony called out softly, rushing to the man, his red eyes tearing up just a bit more. They both laughed as he clung to the sorcerer like a lifeline.

"Why are you crying? You upset I'm back?" Stephen joked, now rubbing up and down on Tony's back.

"No!" He laughed. "I'm crying cause I'm so happy you're back" he said, his eyes still shiny and wet. He furiously rubbed them, and stared up at the taller man with a shaky smile.

"DR. STRANGE!" Peter called, sprinting over and giving Stephen a bear hug. The three men laughed, and Tony held them both closer to him than anyone had even been.

"Mr. Stark, I was with Dr. Strange in the Soul Stone!" Peter said, somehow smiling through his retelling of his death. "He helped me through it and stuff"

"Time passed differently in the Soul Realm. It was actually months after I arrived that Peter appeared, while I'm assuming it was mere seconds for you" Stephen explained.

"Yeah. I lost everything in less than a minute" Tony said, tearing up yet again. He shook it off and smiled. "But I have it all back now" he smiled. Peter nodded.

"Yeah! When I woke up, JESUS was there, and he was like 'hey YOURE the kid who caught my arm' and I was pretty confused"

"He mistook Bucky Barnes for Jesus"

"And then Dr. Strange showed up and was like 'look who finally decided to show up' and then we just walked around for a while, because there was LITERALLY NOTHING THERE" Peter explained, moving his hands around as he spoke.

"TONY!" Was shouted from behind him, again. He turned around, only to be ambushed by literally everyone he knew that was in the Soul Stone.

Hugs from T'Challa.
Hugs from Wanda.
A brief nod from Fury.
Hugs from Hill.
Hugs from Groot.
Hugs from Quill.
Hugs from Gamora.
Hugs from Sam.
Hugs from Drax.
Hugs from Mantis.
Hugs from Bucky.
Hugs from Loki.

"Wait LOKI?" Thor cried, knocking everyone over to get to his very much alive brother.

"Did you seriously expect me to die? Yeah right" Loki chided, rolling his eyes at his brother's antics, before slowly hugging him back.

Tony was looking over at the reunion, smiling softly, when he felt a hand slip into his.

"Come on" Strange said quietly, a fond look in his eyes. Tony embraced the other, not intending to ever let go, and let the tears loose.

Sure he was crying. It didn't matter anymore. Everything was as it should have been. Everything was good, and nothing hurt.

Peter would reunite with Wade and May, and celebrate his birthday. They would all be happy, and eat cake.

Quill would reunite with Gamora. They'd dance together like nobody was watching, and finally come back together with their team.

Rocket would reunite with Groot. Although few words would be exchanged, it'd be just as powerful as anything else.

T'Challa would reunite with Shuri, their sibling bond never broken through the hardships of the Soul Stone.

Steve would reunite with Bucky, the two having been best friends for years, and for years to come.

The Avengers would reunite. Tony, Steve, Thor, Bruce, Natasha and Clint would come together, and open the door for everyone. Peter, Sam, Rhodey, Quill, Gamora, Drax, Mantis, Rocket, Groot, Wanda, Stephen, and T'Challa.

Nobody would be alone anymore. Nobody would be afraid. Nobody would have to cry anymore.

Everything was ok.

So this was basically an apology for all the angsty chapters I was writing, and ALSO an apology for not writing as frequently. I'm sorry about that btw.

BUT ANYWAY, I hope you guys enjoyed this chapter. I know multiple people requested a rewrite of the last part two, so I actually took this request that WASNT like that, and made it a rewrite.

You're welcome everyone!
