The Baxter Building
"So explain this to me again, but in a way that those of us who aren't super smart can understand" Ruby asked Reed Richards, Mr. Fantastic of the Fantastic Four stretched around his lab checking various equations.
With the FF being like a second family to Peter and Johnny Storm was one of his best friends so she knew them quite well. One of the things she knew was that when Reed, Sue and Peter began talking about science and nobody else could understand them her, Ben and Johnny would leave and do various different things. Ben would watch Baseball or Football, Johnny would talk to whichever girl he was currently dating on the phone and Ruby would often play with Franklin and Valeria
"When I was experimenting with some Vibranium I decided to run some tests on it to see how it reacted to the vibrations of the Multiverse. After a couple of hours my computer alerted me that one of the vibrational frequencies of one of the realities matched one that I had on file before."
At this point the excited scientist moved his head towards Ruby "It was the same extra dimensional vibrations that we scanned from you and Selene when you first arrived on this Earth. From the data and what we understand about traveling through dimensional spaces I finally managed to pinpoint the coordinates for Remnant."
"So" Ruby began to say "You can send me back, how long would that be? Would I be able to come back?"
"Yes, you would be able to come back I already have a method for that. It will probably take about a month for me to set it up."
Ruby was stunned; the longer she had been here the less likely it seemed that she was going to be able to return to Remnant. She had even made a life for herself here and the biggest fear that this situation gave her was of losing everything. She wanted both her life her and the things she left in Remnant.
She excused herself before heading home and she felt conflicted.
After arriving home she noticed Peter was already there, although he was currently on the ceiling reading something.
"What are you doing?" she asked
He looked up at her "Huh? Oh, it's all the information the Avengers database has on inter dimensional travel. I'm just looking into it for our travel to Remnant"
"Our?" that word caught her by surprise. Up until this moment she had only thought about her returning to Remnant on her own, she hadn't even thought about Peter coming with her.
"Well of course I would be coming, I mean what kind of husband would I be if I let my wife go all by herself!" Peter said
"But what about your job and Aunt May?!" Ruby asked
Peter merely shrugged "I have a lot of vacation days left over since we never go on vacation and Aunt May has been telling us to get out of New York for a while and Alaska sounds perfect"
Alaska, that is what Ruby and Peter had told May where Ruby's family lived. It worked very well as it explained why they never came around and why they didn't show up at Ruby and Peter's wedding.
So the excuse would explain their being gone for a while and a lack of communication.
Relief flooded over Ruby at the prospect of not returning to Remnant alone. She walked over and kissed Peter
"I love you"
"I know but I love it when you tell me"
They just smiled at each other
"Hey Ruby?"
"Yes?"
"I love you too"
Avengers Tower 2 weeks later
With the hectic schedule that various members of the Avengers had it was hard to plan a goodbye party for Peter and Ruby.
Sure everyone expected them back, but they were members of the Avengers family and the team wanted to wish them the best of luck.
Tony had arranged for a small get together with all of the current Avengers in their civilian clothes.
Except for Thor.
Because he wore the same thing all the time.
"So Ruby, what do are your plans once you and Peter reach Remnant?" Steve Rogers asked the grey eyed young lady in front of him.
Ruby always liked Steve, he was so easy to get along with and he was like the older brother figure that she could go to for advice.
"Well Susan told me that Reed's device should put me near where I left so I'll at least know which way to go to get back to civilization. After that I'll be able to track down my dad, sister and uncle Qrow" she said "After that I'll try to find Blake, Weiss and the rest and see what they have been doing with their lives"
"Well if you need anything you know you just have to ask" Steve said
"Yeah, thanks" Ruby said
"OW!" a voice cried out and everyone stopped talking and looked in the direction the yell had come from.
There stood Bruce Banner with a plate with chips and salsa. He looked at all of them.
"Seriously, I just stubbed my toe, it'll take more than that for me to go green" he said before beginning to walk towards a seat.
"Sorry Bruce but usually when you yell it isn't good for any nearby property or furniture… or people" Tony said.
"Fair point" Bruce said
"Quick question" Clint Barton said "From what Ruby told us these Grimm are attracted to negative emotion so what if we dropped the Hulk in Remnant? How many Grimm would be attracted to that much rage?"
"A lot" Ruby said remembering her past experience with the Grimm.
"Good thing I have no intention of ever setting foot there then" Bruce said
"What about Cap? Would the Grimm even go for someone that positive?" Clint asked.
"I'm just as human as the rest of you so I still feel the darker emotions nut I choose not to act on them so I would attract them just as much as anyone here" Steve said
"Why are we talking about what we would do in Remnant if we went? Last time I checked I have no intention of going there" Natasha said from where she stood. Natasha had always reminded Ruby of Weiss. "Besides with Peter's Spider Sense to warn them of threats so they should be able to avoid any Grimm they come across"
Ruby gained a huge grin on her face as she grabbed Peters arm excitedly "That's totally true! You have a Grimm compass in your brain, that would have been so helpful in Vale when I was in Beacon!"
"If I didn't know any better I would believe that you were currently more in love with my Spider Sense than me" Peter said
"Fair warning, considering Weiss's family business she may want to try to dissect your brain to figure out how it works" Ruby said
"She was your best friend right, so she wouldn't really do that would she?"
Getting no response Peter got a little nervous
"Ruby? Please tell me she wouldn't" silence "Ruby!?"
"I'm sure she wouldn't" Ruby said soothing any worries Peter previously held
"At least I Hope she wouldn't"
So much for that
After a few more hours at Avengers Tower Peter and Ruby headed back to their apartment and prepared for bed.
"Hey Ruby?" Peter asked his wife
"Yeah?" Ruby's voice came from the other
"Something seems to be bothering you, mind talking about it?"
Ruby was silent for a moment
"You know that saying about two worlds? That's what my life is literally like now" she said as she entered their room and leapt unto their bed. "I was born and raised in Remnant, then I came here, met you and made a life for myself here. Now that I'm going back I can't help but worry about trying to juggle two worlds"
Peter touched the side of her face "Ruby your one of the most amazing people I have ever met, right up there with Aunt May, Uncle Ben and Captain America. I'm certain that you'll be able to figure this out and I'll have your back throughout all of this"
"Thanks Peter I needed that" Ruby said as she snuggled into his side "Goodnight, love you"
"Night Ruby, love you" Peter said turning the light out.
The next day
Ruby walked down the street wearing a red jacket with the hood pulled up over her head. She still kept the red and black color scheme that she had previously worn in Remnant. But hey, Peter still wore the same red and blue outfit every night.
As she walked down the street she passed the headquarters for a Mutants rights organization. Outside was the FOH, or as they called themselves the friends of humanity, a group of people who hated Mutants with a passion. Ruby and Peter's neighbors and the people she worked with actually believed Ruby to be a Mutant due to her Aura protecting her from damage. The first time she was called a Mutant was when someone broke into her and Peter's apartment shortly after they got married. Due to an attack by Thanos they had to return to New York from their honeymoon early. So a thief who was planning to rob their apartment that they had just moved their things into. She had been home when the crook had knocked their door down. Seeing Ruby inside the man panicked and pulled a gun on her before shooting at Ruby. Luckily her Aura was always passive and deflected the bullets. After that Ruby apprehended the crook (Thank you Captain America for self defense training). The crook began to call her a Mutant as he was taken away and the other neighbors assumed that she was one. Some didn't care but most kept their distance and would avoid talking to her, eventually though many of them warmed up to her.
As she watched the people protest against Mutants she couldn't help but feel like she understood Blake better. Mutants and Faunus were essentially discriminated against on both worlds and even though Ruby wasn't a real Mutant, she was treated as one.
Luckily a lot of the ill feelings towards Mutants have faded in the last few years thanks largely to the X-men and Avengers efforts. Still, while a majority no longer hated Mutants there was still a good number who did.
When she got back to Remnant she would have to tell Blake about this.
A flash of light caused her to look up where Iron Man and Thor flew overhead. She briefly wondered where they were going.
She continued on her way, mentally comparing and contrasting this world and Remnant.
She had to stop worrying about this so much; no matter what she would still have Peter to help her.
The Baxter Building 2 Weeks Later
"I hope everyone is ready" Reed said as he typed away on the computer connected to what appeared to be a tunnel.
"This right here will act as a bridge between worlds, allowing you to literally walk between to separate worlds." Susan said.
"Right, and I assume this will completely 100% safe" Peter said
"Nothing is 100%" Reed said
"That doesn't make me fill uneasy at all" Peter said
"Relax Peter" Susan said "You'll be perfectly safe, you know how Reed is"
Ruby was dressed in her normal clothes and her old red hood. When she had first come here she had her original scythe, Crescent Rose, but as this world didn't have dust, the power source of her scythe, it eventually ran out of power. Luckily for her Tony Stark had made her a new scythe which was dubbed by Ruby as Crescent Rose Mark 2.
Peter was dressed in normal civilian clothes with his web shooters on in case they ran into Grimm. They both had backpacks with some things to take with them.
"Sure you don't want that Iron Spider armor I whipped up for you Pete?" Tony asked the Spider themed hero.
"I'm sure, besides it isn't finished yet so I don't want to risk it dying on me"
After a minute Reed spoke up "Tunnel will be opporational in 3…2…1 Activate!"
And with that there was a booming sound as the tunnel glowed with blue light
Ruby and Peter looked at it in awe before Tony slapped them on the back. "Now's when you walk through it"
With that Peter and Ruby walked through the Gateway and into Remnant
2 Days after arrival in Remnant
The 3 Yang family members sat around the kitchen at midday.
Yang was examining her gauntlets. She was now a well respected Huntress and like any professional she maintained her weaponry, though at this point she could probably do this in her sleep. She still kept in touch with the other members of team RWBY and saw them when she could.
Qrow was looking out the window at birds flying by as he kept his flask spinning on his hands.
Tai Yang was currently preparing dinner for his family.
On the wall of the kitchen hung the last picture taken of Ruby as a memorial for someone they believed to be a fallen Huntress.
Everything stopped though at a knock on the door.
Everybody stopped what they were doing.
"Are you expecting company dad?" Yang asked
"No and all of the people who may visit me are busy" with that the three began to walk towards the door with Yang leading the way. Yang sighed before reaching for the door handle, moving Zwei out of the way, who seemed rather excited by what was on the other side of the door.
"Can I help-" Yang was cut short at what she saw at the door.
Her sister was standing there.
Yang, Tai and Qrow all just froze in shock and disbelief.
"Hi everyone" Ruby awkwardly said. "I'm back"
"Ruby" Tai whispered to himself taking a tentative step forward.
"Where have you been!?" Yang asked
"Well…" Ruby began "You see it turns out I was stuck in another dimension and…" Ruby went on talking so fast that they couldn't understand most of what she said, but what they did understand didn't make much sense. Words like 'Avengers' 'New York' and 'Superheroes'.
"So then Reed, who is like totally super smart by the way, turned the machine on and that's how I got here" Ruby finished the hurried explanation leaving her family members slack jawed.
"Oh my gosh, I almost forgot!" Ruby said excitedly reaching beside her, out of the view of the family
"I got married!" she pulled a brown haired man into their view
"Hi there!" he said
That was when Tai fell unconscious.
"Dad!" Ruby said running to the man on the ground "Are you ok!?"
"His daughter just came back from the dead with a husband, I think he was just to shocked to many times" Qrow said never taking his eyes off Ruby, still with a look of astonishment.
"Sooo…" Yeng said turning back to the strange man in their doorway "You're my brother in law?"
"It would appear so" he said "The names Peter Parker"
"Yang, Ruby's older protective sister" Yang said in a voice that sounded both cheerful and threatening.
"There's no need to threaten me or give me the riot act, I'm pretty sure Ruby could hurt me if she wanted to" Peter said
Yang eyed him for a moment.
"You seem decent but I'll wait for dad to come too before we begin asking you questions but for now…" Yang paused while Peter held in his breath
"Welcome to the family!" Yang said slugging him in the arm as Zwei began to pull the unconscious man down the hall with Qrow and Ruby tagging along.
Another chapter done!
I wanted to show some of Ruby's thoughts on the Marvel universe after living there for a while. Now I want to clear something up real fast that I think may be confusing, Ruby is considered by people who know her to be a Mutant because of her Aura, while she uses her Semblance as the Fable so people would not think of her as being both people. Also I decided to have people think she's a Mutant so I can have something to do between Ruby and Blake later on as Mutants and Faunis are treated similarly.
Now Ruby is back and has introduced Peter to her family. You'll see Tai actually talk with Peter early next chapter and I plan to make that meeting humorous. Zwei's in here as well! How could I forget him?
Now for reviews!
