If only (trans reader x Peter parker)

TW: mentions of SH, Drinking and Smoking in the first paragraph.

I'd been living alone in may and peter's old apartment since a week after the snap. I gave up on the whole superhero thing, I couldn't afford to make another mistake. I didn't make any friends after all of mine got snapped away. I didn't want to keep losing people. I started over, didn't talk to anyone except the animals that lived in the building. And of course the photo of Peter. Every day I came home from school, sat on the couch and told him about my day. I knew it was just a photo and that he wouldn't respond but it was the only way i could get the closure I needed. The only way I coped. I hadn't self harmed in years, haven't drunk or smoked, I'm clean. I got home from school that day and sat on the couch, I was telling Peter about my day when the phone rang. Unknown number. "Hello?" I answered. "Y/n, we might have a way to fix everything. Come back to the facility, we'll explain everything." Steve said, hanging up. "Peter I have to go, I'm so sorry. I don't know when I'll be back." I said, getting up and packing a bag.

I picked up the duffel bag of clothes and assorted other items and went down to my car. I was living how I wished I could all those years ago when I left the compound for what I thought to be the last time. I got in my car and drove, it was like an hour upstate so I put on some music and just drove. When I got there, not much had changed. Maybe a fresh paint job on the outside but nothing more than that. I got my bag and walked inside to the security checkpoint. "I used to live here, y/n Anderson." I said to the guy at the desk. "Go ahead, Captain Rogers is inside to your left." He smiled. I thanked him and left, walking inside the actual building and immediately going to my old room. I dropped my stuff and went out to where Steve was. To my surprise, scott and banner were there, but banner was some weird midpoint between him and hulk.

"Hey guys. Long time no see." I smiled from the doorway. "Who are you?" Scott asked. "Oh yeah it's been like 6 years, y/n. We fought together in Germany." I nodded, walking in. "Good to see you, I like the beard." Steve smiled, pulling me into a hug. Since I was last here I'd grown at least a foot, and i'd let the peach fuzz grow out and dyed it. I was the same height as cap. It was weird. "Dr banner, I wasn't aware you were still here. It's good to see you." I smiled, hugging him. "Ok so, we're running trials. Out whole plan? Time travel." Bruce explained, hitting some buttons on a control panel. "Oh my god, quantum realm! Time moves way faster in the realm. If you engineered that right you could go back in time. You're brilliant!" I said, looking at the notes he had around him.
