"Give me one good reason why I should believe you," the man with the gun said as he pointed it directly at Shadow-spider's head. "Otherwise I'll shoot you right here, right now." Behind him, the woman, who Kara assumed to be his partner, adjusted the grip on her own weapon. Sure, she could have disarmed them both at any time, but something held her back, causing her to look over at the four bodies that had joined their motley group before they had been transported to this strange new place.

One of them was taller than everyone else present by two feet, and Kara had almost mistaken her for the supervillain known as Giganta, but the figure's blonde hair quickly quelled that idea. Standing beside the tall girl was a short female with dark black hair. She also gave off an aura of unease and fear that could rival Batman's. Standing apart from everyone else was someone Kara had at first mistaken for Spider-man. But a quick glance with her x-ray vision told her that it wasn't him. He was an dark-skinned male with short black hair. He seemed to be somewhat intimidated by everyone else, particularly the woman who kept casting glances towards Shadow-spider. The fact that the two of them shared extremely similar costumes perplexed Kara. She could see the similarities in their facial features, but yet they didn't acknowledge each other.

"I'm an agent of S.H.I.E.L.D," Shadow-spider said with confidence. "And as I said before, we're each from a different time-line. All brought here by an unknown force that..."

"It actually talked to me," the dark-skinned spider-man said.

"What?" Shadow-spider spat as she spun around, much to the clear annoyance of her interrogator. "Who was it? Did you recognize-"

"It looked like a person made of light," the dark-skinned spider-man replied with a nervous shrug. "Definitely a guy. He kinda sounded familiar, but I couldn't quite place his voice." he finished as Shadow-spider reached him and glared.

"We need more than that," Shadow-spider snapped aggressively, "spill it out."

"that's all I kn-" the dark-skinned spider-man began.

"Now!" Shadow-spider roared.

"You're asking a lot of questions for someone who's being interrogated," the man with the gun barked as he stepped forward. "I am in command of this operation and I'm ordering you all to surrender yourselves to my custody," he continued as he pulled an obscenely large cell phone from his belt. "this is Richard Parker, requesting a pickup at my location."

"Richard Parker?" Ms Marvel muttered before she snapped her fingers, "you're Peter's parents!" In a flurry of movement, the woman with the gun snapped her weapon around and aimed it at Ms Marvel with a scowl on her face.

"Who are you and how do you know my son's name," the woman hissed as her finger edged along the trigger. The tension escalated in the air, broken only by a comm buzzing to life.

"Agent Parker, Agent Parker, we've got a situation," a clearly male voice barked.

Cassandra Lang/Stature

It seems she would never get a good chance to catch her breath. First, she was thrown into an alternate dimension. Then she met up with an improvised team of heroes, all who seemed to share some connection to Spider-man. Then she, along with everybody else, was thrown into yet another dimension. Then she was unceremoniously introduced to people who claimed to be the parents of Peter Parker. And now they where all being briefed by a man wearing a bright blue combat suit, grey hair and an eye-patch.

"We've got a temporal anomaly building in the centre of New York," the man said as he pointed to a section of a map that was lying on the table in front of them. "Our radar picked it up about an hour ago, and it started to build on itself."

"Oh my god..." Ms Marvel said as a hand flew over her mouth. Well..another universe's Ms Marvel at least. Not like it matters much though. "That's Peter's apartment! Right there in the centre!"

"My son does not-" Mary Parker began to say.

"Where I come from, he's twenty-eight," Ms Marvel replied quickly.

"And you say you can fly?" Richard Parker said with disbelief, "I'm sorry but why would our son associate with that sort? Please tell me you aren't those Mutants we've heard about." Out of the corner of her eye, Cassie saw Katherine shrink back a little. Whether her reaction was out of disgust or agreement, she didn't know.

"Trust me," Ms Marvel said with half a smirk, "he's very popular among the-"

"Can we focus here?" The man with grey hair barked. "S.H.I.E.L.D doesn't have the manpower to deal with this kind of threat. We're spread to thin. I'm commissioning all of you into a task-force to respond to this threat."

"With all do respect sir," Richard Parker began, "are you sure it's wise to-"

"You and Agent Parker will be joining them," the grey-haired man said firmly as he placed a cigar in his mouth. "I'm promoting you to senior field agents. Congratulations. Now get to work. Divide yourselves into two teams, one for the air and one for the ground." The man clasped his hands together and the room exploded into motion. Katherine stormed over to talk to Shadow-spider, only to be stopped by Ronin. Ms Marvel, Mary Parker and Richard Parker talked over the map. The black spiderman moved to talk with the girl dressed in a red cape and blue uniform while Laura moved to Cassie's side.

"This is so messed up," Cassie muttered.

"Agreed," Laura replied.

Peter Parker (Marvelous Spider-man)

Something clanked, startling all the Peter Parker's who where present. The dark room the where in lit up as a door opened, causing them all to squint as a figure walked towards them.

"Where are we?" the youngest Peter Parker shouted towards the figure, who was obscured by the blinding light. "And who the hell are you?"

"I always loved your little jokes," the figure said in an obviously feminine voice as she continued to approach. Something unnerved him about her voice, it sounded eerily similar to that of Carol's. And the thought of his somewhat significant other brought a fresh tear to his eye. What if he didn't make it back?

"You didn't answer the question," the other Peter said in a brisk tone as he got to his feet. "Where's my little girl! What've you-"

"Shhh..." the figure said in a calming, seductive tone as the light behind her dimmed. He recognized her immediately as the Carol Danvers doppelganger who had forced herself on him months back. Her outfit remained the same, albeit charred from a recent engagement of sorts. And to make matters much worse, as was advancing on him specifically. "you're all safe here, loves," she said in a sultry tone as she wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled his mask up half-ways. She then proceeded to plant an electrifying kiss on his agape lips. "You're all safe here. Here, no one can hurt you. Not now, not ever. I'll protect you."

"What about my wife and daughter?" the middle Peter shouted as he approached, "are you gonna protect them?"

"ALL I ASK IS FOR YOUR LOVE!" the Carol doppelganger shouted as she broke the perverse embrace and scowled at the speaker with an expression that could break mountains. But she stopped herself, resuming her calm demeanor. "Something's been happening to the Spider-man across the multiverse. Mine was...was...shot down. Another was killed by a group of his enemies...and one more has had his mind ripped from his body...I need to find out why. And I need to keep you all safe," she said as she resumed her attention to him by caressing his cheek.

We are in really deep shit. He thought as she smiled at him with unnerving sweetness in her expression.

A/N: Short, I know. But I felt that this was a good place to stop for now. So what do you think of the Villainess? Of the Fact that the Parker's are anti-Mutant?
