She was falling...and she didn't try to stop it.
It appeared to be a curse. When you're Spiderman's girlfriend you fall...and you either live or die. This time wasn't any different. Peter loved Allie but he loved MJ more. So when the scaffolding shook and they fell, she already knew what her fate was. It was inevitable. She didn't survive the blip, she was kidnapped by Mysterio, was thrown through a wall by green goblin and now was falling off the statue of liberty. All she could hear was the the steadiness of her heartbeat in her ears and the air flying past her. Her hair was falling around her face, tickling her. She was pulled back to reality by MJ's scream. Peter falling only a short distance behind them but was reaching for MJ's hand. He was pushed to the side by the goblins glider and then another peter jumped off the scaffolding. Which one it was Allie couldn't tell you. Everything looks the same when you're about to die.
She closed her eyes one last time and took a deep breath. It was last second when she felt the unmistakable stickiness of a web wrap around her. She had been caught before she hit the ground. She was picked up bridal style and placed on the ground on her back so she was laying. She kept her eyes closed. She wanted to die. She would have rather died then face the very real idea that Peter was more in love with MJ, so much more that he would rather save her then his own girlfriend.
"Please don't be dead, please don't be dead...." It was peter 3.
"I'm not dead you doofus, I wish I was, but I'm not," She sighed.
"Don't say that. Please don't say that," He said. She opened her eyes and sat up. She stood up after a few seconds and looked over to where MJ stood with peter 2 who was making sure she was okay. She dusted off her jeans and fixed her jacket back onto her shoulders. Peter 3 looked at her. He couldn't fathom why a girl like her would want to die. She was beautiful and helped more then anyone else in the process.
"Um, thanks I guess," She said.
"Yeah no problem," Peter responded. She noticed tears in his eyes.
"Are you okay?" She asked lightly touching his arm.
"Mhm," He nodded and walked away to where Peter 2 still was standing.
Ned came running around a corner and gave MJ a hug. The fight was still happening and it didn't look like it was going to stop soon. She had the fixes for everyone in her coat pocket. She was lucky they hadn't broken yet. Dr. Strange was on the flames of the torch and was working out a way to stop the multiverse from opening wider than it already had. He was struggling and needed someone to distract the bad guys long enough to do the spell properly. She ran over to Peter 2 and 3.
"I have an idea, its a bad one and ill most likely end up dead but it will work," Allie said to the two Spidermen. They looked skeptical as she explained her plan but they eventually agreed that it was the best option. Peter 2 grabbed Allie by the waist and swung her up to where strange was. Peter 2 then left to join the others in the fight.
"Strange I have a plan, but you're not going to like it."
"Well any plan is a good plan right now kid," He said doing some weird hand movements.
"You can't close the multiverse because they are fighting back and want to stay," He nodded for her to continue, "Well if i distract them long enough then you can cast the spell right?"
"Right. How are you going to distract them?"
"I just need you to be able to project my voice loud enough for them all to hear...and make sure the peters don't try to stop me." He nodded, waved his hands and gestured for her to start talking. She took a deep breath and started talking. "To the people we are fighting right now, you want to hurt the Peters right? They whether intentional or not are the reason you died. You were hurt by them and trust me I know how that feels. You want to stay here and live understandably. Find me. I'm the key to them. I'm this peters girlfriend's and bestfriend, tall peter saved me when I fell off the scaffolding. I'm alive because of him, unlike his soulmate, Gwen, and I remind the old one of his wife when she was my age, so if you really want to hurt them find me. And I'm so sorry it had to end this way My Love." She looked at Strange with tears in her eyes. He waved his hands yet again and she started talking again, "Are they contained?"
"Yes, but only until I start the spell again. I have to do it within the next couple of minutes."
"That's all the time I need," She said a started climbing down the scaffolding. She reached the ground and walked over to the cap shield that was partially sitting in the water. Several loud noises were made behind her. They had came, but she wasn't scared. The lizard leapt for her first. She ducked with ease causing him to fly over her. "What? You didn't think I'd make it easy for you?" She said lightly smirking. The sound of metal on metal was heard next to her. She looked to her right where
Dr.Oc stood next to her on his metal hands.
"Need some help kid?"
"Yeah I could use some," They fought next to each other and soon all of them were cured except one. Dr.Osborn was nowhere to be seen. She was stayed put on the shield while Oc went to look from the top of the scaffolding.
"ALLIE!! ALLIE!!" Peter yelled running towards her. He distracted her for only a split second and that would appear to be her demise. A ,for lack of better phrase, stabbing pain shot through her side. She glanced down and saw red seeping through her pink t-shirt. If this were any other situation she would have laughed. Dr.Osborn had narrowly missed the syringe with his cure in it. She glanced up and saw her peter being held back by the other two. They both knew that if they let his go she wouldn't be the only one dying. She gave him a weak smile and collapsed to the ground. "NO!" Peter yelled.
"I didn't think it would work. I mean how dumb could they be to leave you unattended?" He said walking around her tauntingly before kneeling down to her level,
"Not as dumb as you," She said before jamming the needle into his neck. He fell next to her and she let out a breath she didn't know she was holding. Looking up, she saw that it was sunrise. It was beautiful. The oranges and pinks of the sky blended with the purple that the cracks in the multiverse caused.
"Allie, Allie stay with me," Peter 1 was at her side putting pressure on the wound. "Allie look at me. You're going to live and do everything you want in life and-" She cut him off, "I think you should be with MJ. I'm not going to survive this Peter and beside, May always liked her better," She joked. She had felt her consciousness slip and knew she would die soon. Peter didn't have the will to tell her that the spell made everyone forget him, "Make sure the other two know I say thank you," He nodded. She looked up to the sky before closing her eyes for what she thought would be the last time.
*Two Months Later*
Peter had taken Allie to the hospital and made it just barely. She was technically dead when they arrived but they were able to revive her. She was placed into a coma until her body could heal. Peter visited her everyday. She was the only person left in his life. Everyone had forgotten about him and even though when she woke up she would too he enjoyed the thought that she wouldn't have.
It was early one Saturday, the only day that peter could spend the entire day with her. Every other day of the week he was busy with work and could only pop in to make sure she was okay and stable. He wandered down the halls. He didn't even look up because he had the route memorized. Go right when you first enter, down the hall to the elevator, take the elevator to floor 6, make another right and room 2204 is at the end of the hallway. She was still in the ICU because she would flatline from time to time. The doctors said she was a fighter and peter had no choice but to agree. Over the past two months he did a lot of reflecting. He realized that the only thing he liked about MJ was the idea of being with her. She was beautiful but she didn't have the same appeal as Allie did. It hurt him to think back to that day. The day he was so blinded by rage that he tried to save MJ instead of his OWN GIRLFRIEND! It hurt to think that Allies last thoughts might have been about how much better MJ was.
He wiped a tear that was falling down his cheek. Allie might not make it and he would be the reason why. He made it to her room while the nurse was examining her.
"How is she?"
"Well today the doctors noticed more brain activity during her scans and that's a good sign." She smiled at him. He let a breath out and sat down in the chair next to her bed. Her cheeks had gotten some color back and her hair was in a braid going down her back. She looked beautiful and serene.
Peter sat and read a book for almost four hours before it happened. At first he thought he could hear her hear start to beat faster, the he swore he saw the sheets twitch, and finally one word. She said one word as her dark eyes gazed up at him.
"Peter?"
