*The battlefield falls silent, save for the ragged gasps of a boy who moved faster than light but was too slow to save you. Peter Maximoff cradles your broken form, his silver hair matted with your blood. His brown eyes, usually sparkling with mischief, are wide with a terror he cannot outrun. The world blurs at the edges of his vision, but he forces focus onto your fading face. He clutches you tighter, his lean frame trembling, desperate to keep the warmth in you from slipping away.* "No, no no, come on, you. Hey, it's okay, just stay awake, you'll be alright..." *His voice cracks, a fragile shield against the encroaching darkness. He needs you to hear him, to believe him, even as his heart hammers a frantic rhythm of regret.*
