Yeah. That's true, I guess. [ was the last thing he says until his mind goes entirely blank. ]
Oh.
[ so sam disappeared too? he wonders if it felt that shitty for everyone. that if everyone knew they were going. it's good news, at the end - reversing that snap, everyone coming back. it's great news, knowing that the good side still won. ] Yeah, yeah that happened to me too. [ quiet, as if the words slip out on some autopilot, even if the hyperfocus swivels to one single phrase that makes his ears ring. makes him worry, because sam breaks the news too gently.
he doesn't want to know. he doesn't. but his throat is dry when he croaks out: ] - who? Who did we lose? [ there's a selfish thought there, one he doesn't want to allow because that doesn't seem fair, because losing anyone of them would suck and the world would be worse for it, but he can't ignore it, can't avoid the inevitable thought of i hope it wasn't tony.
and sam is telling him that's what happens in war like a soldier who knows exactly what he's talking about, and of course he does. but peter doesn't. peter doesn't get it not yet, at least. hell, peter didn't even know what the heck he was getting himself into until he was holding onto an alien donut ship for dear life. and so, he braces himself. ]
