Walking into the base, Fury introduces Peter to the guy who dealt with the water monster thing by the river just this afternoon. "-nd this is Mr. Beck."
Peter turns to the man who holds out his hand. Eagerly reaching out to shake it, Peter's spider senses suddenly go haywire.
Wincing, Peter numbly shakes his head and tunes out the conversation. Why were his senses going off? There were no threats here. He literally walked into SHIELD's base and shook Beck's han- Beck. They went off when he touched Beck.
Something isn't right here.
Tuning back into the conversation, he hears Beck mention, "We could use someone like you in my world."
What.
He was from a different dimension, too?
"I'm sorry. Your world?"
Across the room, Fury answers "Mr. Beck is from Earth. Just not yours."
Huh? There were people who weren't magicians or spider-people that could travel between dimensions? Woah! How did they make their tech? Would it be similar to a goober?
About to ask Beck to clarify, Peter turns to him only to hear, "There are multiple realities, Peter. This is Earth dimension 616. I'm from Earth-833."
"Really? You're from a different dimension, too? How did you travel between dimensions without a goober? Do you have a goober?"
"What?"
"A goober? It allows you to travel between dimensions without using magic? You don't have one?"
At this, everyone looked at Peter like he had a second head. Why? How was is possible for him to travel without something ripping his atoms apart?
Looking amused, Beck replies, "I don't have a - what do you call it? - goober? Yeah. I don't have one of those. None of our tech survived when the elementals rampaged on our world."
What. That… isn't possible. He did the math together with the other spiders before. Travelling between dimensions without magic or tech isn't possible. Not unless you defy practically everything they knew about science.
Something smells fishy.
"Just a question, how long have you been here?" Peter asks, trying to sound as nonchalant as possible.
"I've been fighting the elementals that you've been seeing for a while now. So… probably 3 months, give or take?"
Yeah, that's not possible. He could personally attest to that fact. Mr. kBeck should be dead by now. Yet, he wasn't? Why?
Peter's suspicion grew. So as Fury and Hill turned the conversation back to the elementals or whatever, Peter brings out his phone and sends a message.
Spider Squad
Peter: Hey guys?
Is it possible for someone
Who def isnt a spider person
To travel between dimensions
Without magic or a goober?
Peni: Well theoretically speaking,
We travelled between dimensions
w/o goobers the first time
Porker: Well, yeah
But there was a doohickey
That was basically a goober
Just bigger
Right?
Peni: true
I don't think its possible, pete
Beter: well thinking about it,
You COULD travel without goobers
As long as you got the tech
At both dimensions
To stabilize your atoms after travel,
Got some intense painkillers
And prolly have a surefire way home
Then…
Gwen: yeah, no
Even if you have some tech
To put you back together,
we ran the math remember?
It isnt possible without a goober
Its why we made them in the first place
Unless youre like strange,
Theres no possible way
Miles: why are you asking tho?
You knew this already
Peter: theres some guy in my world rn
Says his name is quentin beck
My spidey senses are going OFF
And not in a good way
Yall know him?
SP/DR: Quentin beck?
according to my database,
He was an SI employee who got fired.
Noir: quentin beck?
Yeah I know him
Was a whole scandal here
Gwen: Stark fought him
Here in mine
Was practically a psycho
Blamed stark for his incompetence or smth
Miles: yeah, the spiderman in my world
Fought with him n it was a rlly big thing
But it turned out to be just drones or smth
That he made so that he could look like a hero?
Was messed up dude
Killed literal villages for clout
Noir: he's a well-known con man
His schemes were DEEP
Scammed a lot of people
No remorse too
Totally psycho, dude
Porker: he's just a beggar across the street
In my world
Likes chicken sandwiches
Kills for them, actually
Literally kills
Got him arrested a couple weeks back
Peter: oh
Looking up from his phone, Peter feels a deep level of fury for Quentin Beck. He killed people in Mexico and Morocco. He endangered people. He endangered his classmates! He nearly got Ned and Betty killed!
Suddenly, Peter hears Fury say "-ve one mission: kill it. You're coming with us."
Then, Peter ducks, looking absolutely terrified. This, of course, put everyone on high alert. Until..
"Woah! Dude! You nearly hit me with your-" pointing behind him, Peter continues, "bullshit."
Standing in front of Beck, he says "Not. Cool."
At this, Beck had the audacity to look offended. Offended! "Do you think I'd joke about my family dying or my identity?"
"Dude. I literally don't give two shits about your identity, right now. What I give a shit about, however, is the fact that you crashed my vacation. You know, the one I'm taking because I'm injured and have mental trauma? Yeah, that. Thanos was literally just a few months ago!"
Turning to Hill and Fury, Peter angrily says, "You crashed my vacation", pointing to Beck, "and YOU are spouting bullshit about being from alternate universes? You don't even have a goober! Not even that, you say you've been here for what? Three months? Do you know what happens if you stay in alternate dimensions for more than two weeks? You glitch."
Beck looked like he was about to protest so Peter quickly continued, "Don't even try to argue. I know exactly how it feels like to glitch. I'm fucking injured. Thanos was months ago. What do you think I'm recovering from?"
Beck looks away.
"Yeah." Peter continues angrily, "You cause mass panic, kill dozens of people and for what? Validation?"
Fury finally appears to have come to, "Now, wait a secon-"
Turning to Fury, Peter pokes him angrily. "And you. No. No, you don't get to talk. I'm still talking. Now, shut your mouth before I make you, hm?"
Webbing Beck up, Peter says "Now, here's what's gonna happen. You're gonna tell me exactly what your MO is. Then, we're gonna turn you and your accomplices in to the police and then I'm going to go back to my well-deserved vacation. Ok? Ok. Or did your brains stop functioning the moment some rando comes and says hes a superhero from an alternate universe?
At this Hill and Fury splutters. "Now, wait a second-"
"Are you kidding me? Fury, you ever dated anyone? Hm? You're not answering so I'll take that as a no."
Waving his hands around, as if to emphasize his words, "Not answering texts and phone calls means that I don't want to talk and you've got to fuck off, That does not mean tranqing my friend! And even if this dude was legit, which he isn't, why in fuck are you coming to ME, the friendly NEIGHBORHOOD spider-man, and not to, oh I don't know, the guy who literally specializes in alternate dimensions? What? Strange didn't answer? Why not try tranqing Wong?"
"No answer? Yeah. That's what I thought."
Suddenly, Beck speaks up. "And what if I refuse?" Quirking an eyebrow, Peter looks to him who continues as if he wasn't facing wrath incarnate. "It's not like you're that powerful. All you are is sticky. You won't even be able t-"
And this? This is the moment Peter's near nonexistent self-control disappeared. "If you refuse? Well, I do have access to EDITH. I am feeling a little trigger happy right now. And if not that? I can always just send you to an alternate dimension and just. Never. Bring. You. Back. You'll be dead in a week. Two weeks if you're lucky. Don't test me. I've had it up to here with you all. And don't think I won't do it."
Starting to walk away, Peter turns his back to them. "I don't condone killing. Never have. But, I draw the line at attacking my family and friends. You? Both of you? You crossed that line. When I say I'm done. I'm done. Consent is a real thing, asshole. Try and learn some manners."
"Now if you excuse me, I've got a decathlon team to return to and a friend to check on."
Fury and Hill never thought that Peter Parker was an especially scary kid. But, he was a superhero, after all. He's seen things that not many his age do. They shouldn't have been surprised.
Author's Note: so i know that hill and fury turned out to be skrulls but lets say that they are the legit hill and fury bc i said so.
i also know that peter is ooc here but i just wanted to project. sorry. far from home made me go kjhfjhf
for further context, endgame turned out fine, everyone lives bc i said so and spider-verse occurred a bit after thanos and peter's recovering from the glitching they felt cause you cant tell me that they come back feeling fine. they cant just shake that off !
anyways, if you liked this and want to read any of my other works, there's going to be a short compilation at my profile!
