Author's Note: Happy late 4th Of July and enjoy the newest chapter of our feature presentation.
Chapter 7: Sinister Propositions
Peter continued to read off the syllabus and basic history of Remnant while Mina tried to keep herself awake. Her eyes fluttered open and closed as she tried to listen to what Peter was telling her.
"I already finished my homework thanks to Peter's help but now he's trying to help me remember it all and it's so tiring. I appreciate the help but..I think..I'm.. fiiine." Her thought ends as her head slumped to Peter's shoulder and she started to quietly snore.
"Mina, Mina you ok?" Peter asked as he tried to shake her awake but failed as she giggled lightly in her sleep.
"I guess she must be pretty tired from our classes, I can't blame her." Peter says with a small smile as he then slipped Mina into her bed and raised the bed covers over her body.
Mina yawned as she smiled in her sleep as Peter then started to put on his new costume to test it out against crime.

AN: Peter's new costume is the suit from the first Amazing Spider-Man movie because of my love for that design and it stands out compared to other suits.
Peter then opened his window as he hopped out of the room and promptly shut the window from the outside.
"Alright, looks like we're alone and there's a robbery going on in downtown, time to test out the system partner." Peter says as he swings away from Beacon and towards Vale.
"Everything looks operational, how does the suit feel?" Church asks as Peter swings over a large building waving at the many people inside as he made his descent to the ground and fired two weblines to fling him higher into the air.
"This thing feels great! My web shooter capacity increased and this new display system in my mask is perfect. This feels so crazy to me how good everything is going for once, looks like everything's going up the spidey way." The webslinger says as he lands on a rooftop with a dust store across from him being robbed by 4 henchmen led by a man smoking a cigar and wearing a black bowler hat.
Music End
"Open the safe! Grab the cash and the crystals!" The man in the bowler hat says to his henchmen as they start to shove dust crystals into cases and bags.
As the criminals continue to empty the store of dust and cash however a aqua soldier walks and stands right outside the building confusing Peter.
"Hey Church, who's that guy down there? I thought Remnant didn't have advanced tech like that. They kinda look like you." Peter asks as Church appears on his watch.
"Wait a damn minute. That's Tucker, the hell is he doing over there." Church asks looking over at the Aqua soldier.
"You know him?"
"Yeah he's a big pain in the ass but he's my big pain in the ass. If he's here then Carolina and the others must be here which means something else."
"What does it mean?"
"That you may not have been the only one from your world that's here and we might have a way to get back to our dimensions." Church says as Peter stands up and lands right outside the glass window of the building pointing his thumb to the people inside to Tucker and knocking on it, alerting the man in the bowler hat of his presence and frightening his henchmen.
"Hey, are you guys open cause we'd like to place an order for 12 number 9s-" The wallcrawler nonchalantly asks before he backflips away from the window and Tucker ducks down as one of the henchmen shoots the glass.
"So you're the ones who's been going around messing with my associates." The man greets the vigilante and soldier.
"I don't know what this guy did to your buddies but I'm guessing you're the guy working with The White Fang huh, you mind telling me a name so I don't have to call you rando with a weird fashion sense." Peter quips before Church detects two cars that stop on Peter's left and Tuckers right side.
"Name's Roman Torchwick, and I think it's time I leave you both with these friends of mine. See ya bug and Atlas Slave." Roman finishes snapping his fingers as White Fang and henchmen of Roman rush Peter and Tucker all at once.

"Hey, names Spider-Man, nice to meet you." Peter tells Tucker.
"Yeah nice to meet you too, let's get this over with." Tucker says, igniting his energy sword.
"Get ready, here they come." Church tells Peter through his mask as he gets into a fighting stance.
"One For All: Full Cowl - Shoot Style!" A voice Peter recognizes as Midoriya yells out as in the blink of an eye Deku appeared wearing his costume gamma attire using his shoot style to throw a roundhouse kick that sends a White Fang grunt flying into the rest of the group of enemies.
"Izuku, what are you doing here?!" Peter asks as he yanks two pistols out of the hands of the thugs and sending them back at their heads with enough force to knock them out.
"Wait, how do you- nevermind that right now, behind you!" Izuku informs the simulation trooper who dodges a punch from one of Roman's henchmen before kicking them away.
"Who the hell are these guys? They don't look like huntsmen or faunus one bit! One of the thugs asked frightened by the power on display from the two heroes.
"We're neither huntsmen or faunus. We're more spectacular. Hope you're ready for a web slinging smackdown." Spider-Man leaps up into the air as he swings a giant ball of webbing and then slams it into his enemies, defeating them.
Music End
A small crowd of civilians that formed cheer for Spidey and the others success before the 3 all see Police cars arriving on the scene as Peter webs the crooks to a lamppost and yells to the others, "Hey follow me! This way!"
Peter then webs slings away to an empty construction site as Deku and Tucker follow him towards the building as the three then meet up.
Music Que: The Hologram/ Binary Sunset Medley (Star Wars A New Hope Soundtrack)
"So why the hell did you bring us here?" Tucker asks the wallcrawler.
"So nobody could listen in and because a friend of yours suggested we talk here." Peter says intriguing Tucker.
"Wait friend, what do you mean by friend?" Tucker asks as Peter then raises his Spirit Watch allowing Church to show his face.
"Surprise, did you miss me dickhead?" Church jokes as Tucker then throws a punch that goes straight through him.
"Wait a minute, you have an A.I. that you carry around andthatsthesamewatchasPeterhadandthefactthatyouknow-" Deku begins to mumble on and on while the other 3 watch before Peter then shakes him on the shoulder.
"Hey buddy you're mumbling into space,nobody knows what you're saying." Peter says, shaking Deku out of his state.
"O-oh uhh nothing. So where exactly did you come from?" Deku asked Tucker.
"Me? Well it all started when a mom and a dad came together in their bedroom and the dad stuck his-"
"That's not what he meant!" Peter said, firing a web at Tuckers faceplate.
"To answer your question truthfully, before we got here we were just about to end the war on a planet between mercenaries, space pirates and an evil chairman of a company." Church answers Deku's question.
"So do you know where the rest of your friends are?" Peter asked Tucker who managed to rip the webbing off his faceplate.
"We're held up over in a warehouse near the shady side of Vale or whatever this city is called. Our radio frequency is 11.5MHz and the channel is 201 so you can use it to contact us. Also can you hand over Church?" Tucker says reaching his hand out to Peter for him to give Church.
Peter then moved his watch to the A.I. Port as he tried to open it but it failed. He tried a few times with the thing only erroring.
"Why won't this thing open, it allowed me to put you in but now I can't get you out." Peter said trying to get Church out.
"Weird. Let me look through the codex to see if there's anything...huh." Church said surprised by something he found.
"What's a codex and what did you find?" Tucker asked, wanting some answers.
"To answer your question, a codex is what's called this large Flux of information stored on this thing. Also I found a lot more information with one involving something called a dimensional wormhole. Sound familiar?" Church said to Peter.
"Yeah the same thing from the entry log we heard." Peter answered.
"Well this description of the wormhole says that it's very dangerous to use for Multiversal travel. While many people use it, it isn't recommended at all because of the many risks from de-aging, breaking the laws of time and space, turning the dead back into the living, mutations, aging objects like an apple to a seed or in my case a A.I. fragment to a complete A.I. and lastly opening rifts into multiple dimensions." Church told the 3 as they all started to realize what he was saying.
"So you're saying because someone used the wormhole as their way to travel to any dimension, they caused us to end up here." Deku said making sense of things.
"But wait nobody I know got affected by stuff like that. Are we unaffected or something?" Tucker theorized.
"No dummy, we probably just got lucky. So it looks like you're stuck with me since the watch was damaged after being inside the wormhole. Well I better get out of here, c'mon Deku, I got some things I wanna talk to you about." Peter says grabbing Izuku by his hood and web-slinging away and back to Beacon leaving Tucker behind as he makes his way back to Carolina and the others to inform him of the news.
"So, I'm guessing you know who I am huh?" Peter asks while swinging with Izuku in hand..
"Y-Yeah are you really Peter? I-I mean with all the evidence I have plus the fact that Spidey leaves the school and you stay at Beacon and knew Mina beforehand, the evidence was pointing to you." Deku admits scratching his head nervously.
"Well then we better keep my identity a secret between each other. I don't want the others finding out about my alter ego, at least not until the time comes where I have to tell them." Peter says as he lands on the rooftops of Beacon.
"A-alright then, also I have a question for you."
"Well then ask away."
"What made you become a hero?"
Peter stops in his tracks. He looks down for a few seconds before answering back in a quieter tone.
"Because, one day I learned that with Great Power comes Great Responsibility. I didn't know what it meant that day but I do now. The man who told me that was great, I looked up to him for so much but the day he told me that I ignored it, I still regret what I did that day. Being a hero involves having a balance between your power and responsibility, remember that." Peter finishes pulling off his mask and looking Izuku in the eyes before he hops off the building to head into his dorm room leaving Izuku to ponder on the words told to him.
Music End
Peter slipped open the window to his room as he poked his head inside the room noticing Mina stirring in her bed before he hopped inside and rolled into the bathroom while using a webline to close the window.
"(Yawn) Peter, is that you?" Mina asked groggy and tired.
"Yeah, I'm about to take a shower. Just woke up huh, I can tell by your voice." Peter jokes, receiving a weak laugh from Mina.
"Yeah, hey I was thinking about going for a workout, you wanna join me after you finish your shower." She invites him.
"Sure, I'll come. Only to make sure you don't drop a weight on your foot." Peter jokes as he turns on the shower.
"Alright, I'll see you at the gym..when I find it wherever it is in this castle." She says putting on a purple tank top and black shorts and heading out.
"Well I better be quick with the shower and join her. Although I'm still thinking about that thing Church said, if Osborn, Ock or anyone from my world are now here then bad things could happen. Torchwick and The White Fang are one thing but Octavius and Osborn are a whole nother level. I wonder where they are now." Peter thinks aloud as he prepared to hop into the shower.
Just before he did, he noticed a job offering open for a photographer at the VNN which he saved for later as he started to shower himself.
Land Of Darkness
A thunderstorm cackles above a barren wasteland hidden somewhere in Remnant. The land is full of multiple purple crystals, rocky terrain and large pools of Grimm where the creatures spawn and claw themselves out of the black pools. A portal opens near this pool as Kraven The Hunter and Vulture crash into the rocky terrain of the area as the two start to stand up and look around their surroundings.
"Kraven, what happened to you? You look worse for wear." Vulture says as Kraven looks into the pool of Grimm now seeing his new form as a humanoid lion-like creature with elements of cheetah, leopard and lion
"Wha-what happened to me? What am I?" Kraven asked angrily before hearing the growl of a Beringel walking towards the two villains.
Kraven growls as he bears his claws and lunges at the Beringel slashing against it's black skin and breaking the many external bone plates against the Grimms body. As Vulture watches his alley rip apart the dark bodied creature until it disintegrated, Kraven perked up as the two saw a large ship fly above them towards a castle nearby.
The two then start to make their way to the dark castle as the ship then opens with Electro, Rhino and a scorpion tailed man walking out and towards the steps of the castle.
"Toomes..and Kraven! What the fuck happened to you, you look like you're from Cats on Broadway." Electro jokes receiving a growl from Kraven that shuts him up.
"Let me guess you're friends of the doctor huh. Well follow me, I'll lead you there to your leader and our dark goddess." Tyrian says with a sinister laugh as he leads the villains into and through the castle.
"Oh great the cynical killer returned and with a freekshow to boot." Cinder says looking over the new arrivals.
"I have a reason for bringing them around, they're friends of Octavius that I've been looking for. I found two of them dealing with Atlas military and the others outside." Tyrian explains before they hear footsteps and mechanical parts whirring.
"So it seems you've managed to find the rest of Octavius's associates. Good work Tyrian." A voice says revealing themselves as Salem, the Witch of Darkness who walks alongside Doc Ock.
Tyrian bows at the feet of Salem for praising him on his success while the 4 villains look confused on what's going on.
"So uhh, where's Osborn?" Rhino asks, scratching the back of his head.
"I don't know but what I do know is this, the portal was a success. However, what I want to know is what happened to you Sergei?" Doc Ock asks Kraven.
" I don't know how this happened, one minute I was transported here and the next I'm turned into..this." Kraven answers looking down at one of his hands taking note of his claws and the new color of them.
"Perhaps I could figure out the species of your mutation with a few blood tests." Watts proposes.
"So how long have you been here Doctor, we all have been transported here so what about you?" Vulture asked.
"Well as for me, I've been here for 2 weeks, more time than any of you have been here. But we weren't the only ones brought here, take a look." Ock then shows them all a picture of a newspaper with Spider-Man from his scroll.
"So, that damn bug followed us here too. Great, just great." Electro groans, clawing at his eyes.
"Spider-Man..all I see is a mere child wearing a suit. What makes him such a threat?" Salem scoffed.
"There's nothing you should underestimate about Spider-Man for a single second. Ignore his presence and he'll become the main reason for your plan failing, you may believe that man Ozpin to be an annoyance but you have never dealt or fought against the Spider." Octavius says with a hunt of anger in his voice before keeping his tone as calm in order to not anger Salem.
"Now if we don't want him still around as an issue, we'd gladly go out to exterminate him but we still need one man who can help us: Norman Osborn. And I suggest we start by making a base of operations close to his location because if I know anything, it's that when Osborn is out and about Spider-Man is the first thing he'll think about dealing with." Doc Ock claimed.
"Hmm I see, Cinder, take Doctor Octavius and his associates to Vale, provide him with the necessary means for his plan."
"As you wish, my grace." Cinder responds as she gives a glance to Octavius before walking past her.
"Do not fail me Doctor, or Spider-Man will be the least of your worries." Salem threatens to the unconcerned and unfazed octopus themed villain.
"I assure you things will go smoothly, I plan on it." Doc Ock says as he and the Sinister Six walk out of the castle to join Cinder for the trip to Vale.
Vacuo
The Goblin continued to fly around the sky as it's mind started to remember the events it had shown and the man who appeared in his head.
Flashback-
"Norman, you've done it. The portal was a success, all thanks to that small accident from Electro. Now you're one step closer to taking over Remnant and soon Earth. But something is wrong, the Spider has something...something from a lost period of time. A relic of the past. In order to combat the very power Parker may possess, you must open the portal to let my general in and he'll give you something that'll..boost you. There is also something in that universe that is the key to killing everything that has ever stepped in your path, when my general comes through, he'll bring the necessary forces and resources to help find it. Remember to not fail me or else." A sinister and dark voice says to Norman who was still inside the wormhole as his body started to change.
Norman screamed out a blood curdling scream that changed into a roar as his body morphed into that of a Goblin due to the very formula in his system that gave him his power and created Spider-Man.
Flashback end-
Norman continued to fly before noticing a crow following him from behind annoying him. Norman slowed himself down to look at the crow right in the eye and then opened his mouth to give it a toothy grin causing it to slow down and disappear from Norman's eyesight. The crow however continued to follow Norman from a farther point as it stayed close behind the large green monster.
