Hello all. I've recently fallen in love with A Hat In Time, and seeing the lack of crossover fics, have decided to make one of my own involving my favorite superhero. A bit of a strange mix, but sometimes unexpected crossovers are the best crossovers. Anyways, this fic is partially inspired by the works of imagigamergirl, Mr. Mega1423, and Konan720 as well as several other great authors and stories. This Spider-man is based on the Edge of Time and Shattered Dimensions video games, as well as drawing from some elements from multiple different Spider-Men. Spider-Man belongs to Marvel Comics and A Hat In Time belongs to Gears for Breakfast

Saturday mornings, the savior for workers and schoolchildren everywhere. Most would consider it a time of rest from the business of the weekdays, spending their time sleeping in, watching cartoons, and other relaxing activities.

Such a thing did not even exist in the vocabulary of your Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man, who was furiously speeding across the rooftops of New York with a double shot of espresso, trying to understand why he was woken up at the unholy hour of 5:30 on a SATURDAY.

Peter Parker had been sleeping cozily on his girlfriend Mary Jane's couch, when a wispy green mist appeared in the form of Dr. Strange.

"SPIDER-MAN!" He yelled, causing Peter to jump off the couch and onto the ceiling.

"AGHHH!" he yelped before coming down from the ceiling to meet his visitor.

"I require you to meet me at the Sanctum Sanctorum immediately, it is a matter of upmost importance." And with that, the mist cleared, leaving Spider-Man alone once again.

Spider grunted, "Couldn't this have happened on a Monday?" He got up, made himself some coffee, and did his usual morning routine before donning his iconic red and blue suit and loading his web shooters. He made sure to leave MJ a note explaining his absensce on the counter saying "Hey! Got called by Strange about some mystical mumbo jumbo, he said it was urgent. Be back soon!" before signing his spider emblem at the bottom. He then jumped out the window and made his way to the Sanctum.

What I'm the world would Doc need me for? I'm no magician! he thought as he gracefully landed at the doorstep of the home of Doctor Strange. Just as he was about to knock, the doors opened on their own. "You'd think I'd get used to that," he said to himself. He walked down the hallway until he found the good doctor meditating in levitation. Spidey greeted the sorcerer with a wave. "So what's happening Strange? You never make house calls, much less port into my girlfriend's home," he questioned.

The Doctor shook his head before doing archaic hand motions. In front of Spider-Man bloomed a map of the universe and further beyond."I am sure by now you are familiar with the concept of the multiverse, Spider-Man?" Asked the Sorceror Supreme. Spider-Man nodded his head, remembering the events of "Spider-Verse" and him joining forces with hundreds of Spiders across dimensions.

"Yeah, what about it?" questioned the web head.

"It is true that the multiverse encapsulates all of time and space, making anything and everything possible across multiple earths." Strange paused. "But what you may not know is that there are multiple multiverses that exist," he finished.

This surprised the web slinger. Multiple multiverses? Isn't the point of the multiverse to make anything and everything possible? Why would there be more? e contemplated.

Dr. Strange noticed this but continued. "Our multiverse, you may have noticed, consists of universes that in one way or another share at least several similarities, whether it be me staying a surgeon, you being a Japanese robot wielding superhero, and so on and so forth. Our multiverse has at least one constant, the prevalence of us superheroes and the decisions we make (The Marvel Universe)." Spider-Man listened on, waiting for more explanation.

"Outside of our multiverse, there exists others where Tony Stark, Stephen Strange, and Peter Parker do not even exist. They have different constants, different magic, even different gods, all of which can vary extraordinarily from each other, including our own." the Doctor finished.

Peter inquired, "Does this have anything to do with why you pulled a home invasion on me this morning?"

The sorceror nodded. "I have been contacted by the CEO of time from a relatively young multiverse bursting with energy. They sent out a distress signal that asked for someone connected with time to help protect their magical artifacts, known as time pieces, before the message was cut." Strange then conjured an astral image of a time piece, which looked like an oversized hourglass. "Though I do not normally intervene with the matters of another multiverse, the message seemed too urgent to ignore. Should these time pieces be trifled with, their power, as well as the abnormally high cosmic energy of their multiverse, could potentially leak into ours, causing unknown ramifications to time and space in both dimensions and many more" he emphasized.

Peter was taken aback by the sheer severity of the situation. The Doctor raised his finger before he could ask a question. "Normally, I would take care of this myself, but I am currently occupied with keeping Dormammu from attempting another assault on our dimension. Therefore I ask you to travel to this multiverse and aid in the protection and retrieval of these "time pieces".

Spider-Man man stood there gobsmacked. "Ummm Doc? That's a whole lot more responsibility on my plate. I'd love to help, but a multiverse is a lot harder to protect than a neighborhood. I'm not sure I'm the most qualified hero."

Strange shook his head, "On the contrary, you may be the most qualified for this. I know of your adventure with your future counterpart and the other timeline that was created by Alchemax, as well as the incident with the Tablet of Order and Chaos." Spidey was surprised at that. How did he know about the tablet and his 3 other counterparts? Or when he and Miguel O'Hara stopped the collapse of time? Well, he knows now, must be some magic time powers.

"Alright you got me there, but I don't even know how long it will take? MJ and I are going to the movies tomorrow!" pleaded Peter.

Doctor Strange squashed his argument. "Time acts differently across multiverses. What may have been a second for us can be 6 hours for them. If all goes well, I suspect you will be back in no less than a day." Peter sighed in defeat. It seemed the Doc was adamant about him going.

"Alright fine, I'll make sure to protect these "time pieces". Just make sure that MJ knows, there's a reason I slept on the couch last night," Spider-Man explained sheepishly.

"Very well, prepare yourself to be transported. I will port you to the first time piece signature I sense," the sorcerer instructed. In a forgotten language, he summoned a circular portal around Spider-Man as he began to glow blue. "Spider-Man, I forgot to mention, due to the complications of multiverse travel, there are side effects that may afflict you upon arrival, especially your powers. Be wary of any physical changes that may occur," warned Doctor Strange.

"Wait, what side effe-aaaaahhhhhh!" Spider-Man is cut off as the incantation is finished, sending him careening through space and time. "This is so not cooooool!" He shouts as he spirals through a wormhole, beginning the latest adventure of everyone's favorite wall crawler through the multiverse.

Lots of exposition in this chapter, so I promise that next chapter will be more exciting. The lack of Hat also be rectified from here on out. Anyways, thank you for reading!
