KK: Hehehehe! Edge of Time has been completed and you know what that means?

Spider-Man Noir: More of your asinine idiocy?

Ultimate Spider-Man: I'm going to guess that it's time for another 'Aftermath' story.

KK: And the kid is correct. This will be a two-shot since there was only two universes in the Shattered Dimensions sequel and like with the first 'Aftermath' fic, we'll start with the Amazing Universe.

Ultimate: Then let's hurry up! I want to see what my Amazing counterpart is up to!

Noir: Yeah, hurry up already.

KK: Then let's begin! Also, fair warning, there will be spoilers for Edge of Time. You have been warned.

"Geez. First the universe is in danger because of Mysterio and then the universe and time itself was in danger because of my future self. I can only imagine what'll happen next," complained Spider-Man as he swung through the city. "At least things are back to normal, especially since a certain someone is back to their normal ways."

Spider-Man landed on the roof of a laboratory. He had heard from a nearby police cruiser that a certain tentacled villain was stealing some valuable technology from this lab. Spider-Man opened a hatched on the glass dome and jumped into the building, landing behind the villain.

"Sorry, Doc. I know I don't have an appointment, but I just had to see you," said Spider-Man, startling the villain before him.

"Spider-Man?" yelled Doctor Octopus as he turned to face his nemesis. "You accursed arachnid! I will not let you interfere with my research!"

"Research? Looks more like thievery to me."

With a roar of anger, Doc Ock sent his tentacles at the red and blue clad hero, who easily dodged them. Spider-Man then shot webbing at the tentacles, holding them down.

"Blast you, Spider-Man!"

"Sorry, Doc, but being skewered by tentacles isn't on my to do list!" said Spider-Man as he sent a roundhouse kick to Doc Ock's head, knocking the mad scientist out.

Spider-Man webbed up Doctor Octopus, making sure he wouldn't cause any more trouble, and left him for the proper authorities. Once that was done, he left through the glass hatched he entered through and swung away.

'That was easier than usual. Then again, I recently fought Atrocity and had enough with tentacles for one lifetime. I just wanted to end that fight quickly.'

As he swung through the city, Spider-Man caught sight of a familiar face. Landing on a nearby building, Spider-Man looked down to see…

'Mary Jane,' he thought as his face gained a look of sadness under his mask. 'The only good thing that came from Sloan's changing of the timelines was that it gave me another chance with Mary Jane. Now that the timeline is fixed, we're separated again.'

Spider-Man clenched his fists as he remembered the deal he made with Mephisto. Then again, he did it to save his Aunt May, something he would gladly do again if he had to. It still hurt though knowing he could never be with Mary Jane again.

As he still watched over Mary Jane, Spider-Man was suddenly grabbed from behind and tossed to the other side of the building. Once he came to a stop, Spider-Man looked up in surprise to see Anti-Venom standing in front of him.

"Eddie?" questioned Spider-Man, already starting to feel weak.

"Parker! You owe me some answers!"

"What are you talking about?"

"You know exactly what I'm talking about, Parker! These…memories I have. They feel familiar, yet they feel alien."

Spider-Man raised an eyebrow under his mask. "…Eddie, tell me exactly what's in these memories and I might be able to help you."

Anti-Venom told Spider-Man what were in these memories and Spider-Man was shocked to find out that Eddie had memories of the recent timeline incident.

"What does it mean, Parker? I know you have something to do with it!" roared Anti-Venom.

"Slow down, Eddie! You're right, I do have something to with it, but as to how you even have these memories, I don't even know!"

Peter had to explain to Eddie what had happened, from Walker Sloan controlling him, to his fusion with Sloan and Octavius to form Atrocity, to when the timeline was fixed and only the Spider-Men were supposed to be the only ones to know what had happened.

"If that's true, why do I have these memories?" questioned Anti-Venom, calming down.

"Like I said, Eddie, I don't know. I'd have to ask Miguel, but I have no way of actually doing that…unless the different universes are in trouble again and I'm sure none of us want that."

"Tell me, Parker. What's to stop me from killing you right here so your future self doesn't try to tear the universes apart again?" questioned Eddie as he readied his symbiote's tendrils.

"Whoa! Eddie, how's that going to happen if the timeline is different this time around?" retorted Peter. When Eddie calmed down a bit more, Peter continued. "I only became CEO of Alchemax in the future because Sloan changed our timeline. With our timeline restored, I won't be around in 2099 to become CEO."

"…I guess you have a point, Parker. But if it does happen, I'll show no mercy."

With that, Anti-Venom jumped away, allowing Spider-Man to regain his strength. Spider-Man let out a sigh of relief. Shaking off the last of Anti-Venom's effects, Spider-Man made a web-line and swung away. He really needed to get his mind off of Anti-Venom's threat and Mary Jane.

KK: That's it for this one. Next will be 2099.

Noir: Yeah, yeah.

Ultimate: What's his problem?

KK: He's probably still upset that he never got his own one-shot in the last 'Aftermath' fic. If he behaves though, I might write out one for him since I have more info on the Noir Universe.

Noir: …Really?

KK: Maybe…

Noir: Don't toy with me!

KK: Whatever. Anyway, to explain why Amazing Spider-Man and Mary Jane are not together in this, even though they were in Edge of Time, it's for a few reasons. One, Anti-Venom was there and he only came into existence after "One More Day" where Spidey and MJ were separated thanks to Mephisto. Two, Sloan changed the timeline when he went back in time to find Alchemax in the seventies. This would change events that already happened in the normal timeline and possibly making it so Spidey and MJ never dealt with Mephisto.

Ultimate: It might be for the best though. If Miguel's interaction with the Amazing Universe version Mary Jane is anything to go by, she has a hard time listening.

Noir: Ultimate Spider-Man is right. How stupid was she to run into the danger zones instead of running towards Miguel?

KK: Don't forget, Marvel Comics hates Mary Jane. So of course they're going to make her stupid. Anyway, take us out of here, Ultimate!

Ultimate: Join us next time when we look at how Miguel handles his own aftermath of the timeline crisis. See ya!
