While the story itself is not ready just yet i really want feedback on it's first chapter so here it is. i request that you please review it and leave plot suggestions on where it should head.
Now i know this isn't enough info here but trust me this story will be worth it.So this story will be done in the same vein as Hunt for Spider-Man. Each chapter will be around one thousand words unless a specific chapter demands more. That said here we go. Void age.
" The crime rate in our fair city of New York has been steadily on the rise for the past three years despite Superman's best efforts. Now who can we blame for this? That's right viewers SPIDER-MAN. That wall crawling menace attracted the attention of all sorts of freaks to this city and despite the fact that he's no longer even in our dimension they stayed. I'd like to take the time out to salute our men and women in uniform that protect this city every single day. I also would like to thank Silver Sable and her Wild Pack as well as the Sablecorp for all they do to fight crime in this city.
Now you all may be wondering what happened to that menace that used to fight these criminals. Surely it would be better if he was still around? At least back then crime wasn't quite so high right? Wrong! But I'll get to that in a second. That colossal waste of tax payer money is trapped in another dimension.
As many of you know three years ago Earth ,and especially New York, was witness to a Cosmic fight between the world eater Galactus and his first herald. This crisis called in our best heroes the Justice League and the Avengers. Some of the bravest mutants the X-Men. Even great local heroes the Fantastic Four and Titans. Before you ask yes Spider-Man also helped probably so he could get some of the glory. The fighting ended up so intense that the alien creature ,that I'm told is called the Fallen one, transported Earth's heroes into a dimension that's being called the Void.
Now I wouldn't wish death on anybody. Even my worst enemy. Except Spider-Man! I can't tell you folks how happy I was to hear that that menace got trapped in that other dimension. My only regret is that we don't have more heroes here in New York to work with the police like the Defenders. (Pause) Look the crime rate is a problem. But instead of spending their money on doing something practical about that Super hero supporters Bruce Wayne and Iron Man aka Tony Stark have spent the past three years spending billions of dollars on creating a machine to bring back what they assume will be the corpse of Spider-Man. I'm told they're doing this to give the family of the man under the mask some kind of closure. Now I feel for the family and their loss but I for one won't miss that menace.
In other news former employee of the Daily Bugle Peter Parker is still missing. Tomorrow will mark the three year anniversary of his disappearance and no he is not secretly Spider-Man. If you have any information on his whereabouts please contact..." J. Jonah Jameson's broadcast continued as he ranted.

"Is it done Dr. Brashear?" The first hero in history Superman said while floating above the construct and examining it with his X-ray vision.
"For the millionth time yeah it's found him." Tony Stark replied while he sat typing on a console. Interrupting Adam's reply in the process.
"Actually it's only been his 273rd time asking." Reed Richards said as he stretched himself thin all over the construct as he and his wife did some last minute adjustments and scans.
"274th! You're forgetting the call he made from Earth." Dr. Hank McCoy better known as Beast said as he and King T'Challa and High Queen Shuri checked on the vibranium casings used for the machine's designs.
"Guys today's the day we can finally bury Peter right next to his Aunt, Uncle, and Parents where he belongs." The Flash said as he and Wally zoomed around the device to check for any defects.
Just then Dr. Strange and Fate awoke from their astral projections With Strange informing "I can't sense his Soul in the Void anywhere so it's safe to assume he's no longer living."
Fate continued with "The likelihood that his corpse will be returned to us unaltered is close to zero percent."
Despite the fact that he felt his time could be better spent elsewhere Hank Pym was also helping out today. "I know you guys liked him more than me but I gotta say are we even sure this is going to work?"
Captain America was the one who responded before Superman could retort as he entered the room escorting Peter's currently ex girlfriend Mary-Jane Watson and her husband of seven months. "It has to... Cuz I don't know what I'm gonna do if it doesn't."
Cap had become noticibly darker since Spidey's entrapment. He didn't like the fact that the universe would snuff out a bright light like Peter. He liked it even less that he had to attend Peter's Aunt May's funeral in his stead. And he absolutely loathed that he couldn't tell May that Peter was Spider-Man before she died. He knew from Anna Watson that May blamed Spider-Man for her nephew's disappearance. In a sense she died both hating her nephew and loving him at the same time. The entire Parker family line was gone unless you counted Peter's three clones Jessica, Kaine, and Ben. Something about those three just rubbed Cap the wrong way though. So as far as he was concerned the entire Parker family line was no more and the world was s whole lot darker for it.
Moments later Wonder Woman and Carol Danvers came flying in at top speeds followed by the Titans and X-Men.
"Did we miss it?" Diana asked. If we're being honest this gathering wasn't just to get Peter's body back it was also going to be his funeral of sorts since he hadn't had one yet. In fact neither of Peter's identities had a funeral for them. That didn't sit well with Diana. A warrior if Peter's Calibur deserved a proper send off. Diana had been using his Excalibur sword in honor of him since... Well the day he got trapped in the Void. The day he sacrificed himself so Scott Summers aka Cyclops could leave. It was MJ's decision to loan out some of Peter's legendary weapons and Excalibur was one Diana used with pride.
Carol couldn't help but wonder how much hell Peter must have went through. 'Death by Starvation. What a way to go.'
Moments later the portal was activated. J'onn stood closer to Vision as he watched the body of Peter Parker reenter their dimension. The first thing J'onn noticed was that he couldn't feel Peter's brain waves. After all Peter was a thinker and seeing his mind no longer in action really drove home the point that Peter was no more.
Vision noted that Peter's face looked as youthful as ever. He was laying down with his hands to his sides. Almost as if in resignation. Vision could only imagine the kind of hell Peter would have had to endure in his final moments as he starved to death. That's when Vision noticed that despite his youthful face Peter's hair seemed to have changed from his natural brown to white. Initially he thought that it was just frost from the other dimension.
Everybody crowded around Peter as Superman X-rayed his heart and confirmed that it was no longer beating. The crowd then began to let out their emotions. Clark, Adam, Steve, and Bruce straight up leaving the room to cry in their own way.
The moment of grief continued for some time until Peter opened his eyes. His heart never beating and his mind never thinking.
