About

Five years after Endgame, the world has moved on… but not everyone was able to. The Avengers no longer operate as a family. Tony Stark’s sacrifice marked the end of an era, sending Earth’s mightiest heroes down separate paths. Missions still happen, villains still rise, but the unity that once existed died alongside Iron Man. Before that happened, the two youngest Avengers had become inseparable. Peter Parker—Spider-Man—and Dakota Ellington, known as Enchantress, fought side by side through countless battles. Growing from awkward teenagers into capable heroes, friendship slowly became love. They understood each other better than anyone; two young people carrying responsibilities far beyond their years. Then came the Battle of Earth. Natasha Romanoff’s death shattered Dakota long before Tony’s sacrifice. Already cursed with sharing her body and mind with an ancient god-like entity known only as the Enchantress, her emotional state directly affected her ability to suppress it. As grief consumed her, so did the creature within. Unable to trust herself around the people she loved, Dakota vanished without warning. Far beyond the reach of Earth’s greatest minds, she unconsciously created an enormous magical barrier that isolated her from the rest of the planet. Inside it, time continued, but only for her. She dedicated every waking moment to mastering forbidden magic, convinced that if she became powerful enough she could undo death itself. Every failed spell, every lonely year and every unanswered prayer slowly stripped away the compassionate hero she once was. By 2028, Dakota still exists somewhere beneath the surface, but the Enchantress now dominates almost every decision she makes. She has become calculating, manipulative, emotionally detached and dangerously powerful, believing that hope is simply another lie destined to end in loss. Meanwhile, Peter believed she was gone forever. He rebuilt his life in New York, reconnected with Ned, allowed himself to love again through MJ, and devoted himself entirely to protecting the city. During the multiversal crisis, Peter made the ultimate sacrifice once more, asking Doctor Strange to erase Peter Parker from everyone’s memory. The entire world remembers Spider-Man—the hero—but nobody remembers the ordinary young man beneath the mask. Everyone forgot. Except Dakota. The spell never reached the isolated realm she’d imprisoned herself within, leaving her the only person on Earth who still remembers Peter Parker exactly as he was. Now, in 2028, Dakota finally leaves her sanctuary after discovering rumours of an ancient temple buried beneath abandoned subway tunnels beneath New York. Hidden inside is said to be an impossibly old spellbook capable of rewriting life and death itself—the final piece she believes she needs to bring Tony Stark and Natasha Romanoff back. Her return doesn’t go unnoticed. Plants wither where she walks. Electricity fails in her presence. The city itself seems to recoil from her magic. Peter encounters the mysterious sorceress while responding to a disturbance, instantly recognising the woman he once loved despite how completely she’s changed. However, believing the memory spell erased him from her mind, he assumes she only sees Spider-Man standing in her way. Neither of them knows the full truth. Peter doesn’t realise Dakota still remembers him. Dakota doesn’t realise Peter believes she’s forgotten.
