Chapter 10- And some more
Matt, Faith, Matt-2 and Elektra were in the Sanctum prison, seeing or hearing the various villains that had been trapped in there by the rest.
Elektra had been healed of her wounds by medical supplies in the place.
Bullseye was roaring at them. "Oh I'm gonna stab you all in the eyes! Bullseye!"
"Here I thought Dex was a drama queen", Matt muttered with folded arms, finding this bike thug version of Bullseye a pretty over the top person. And not in a good way.
"So your Bullseye was called Dex then?" Matt-2 inquired.
"Yes, he was", Matt confirmed to him.
"FRANK? WHERE ARE YOU?!" Russoti was shouting.
"Shut up!" Faith snarled at him. "Stop making noise!"
"So, I was dead?" Elektra asked Matt-2, still absorbing the info. "Like, "dead" dead?"
"Yeah", Matt-2 nodded, the pain still fresh in him, as he held out his hand which she grasped. "You were, it has been a few years on my side."
"The breaking barriers pulled you and Bullseye from before you died", Faith explained to them, before gesturing to Matt-2. "And him from present day."
"Yeah, Space and Time, all are breaking", Matt agreed with a sigh.
"Either way, I'm here now, and not going anywhere", Elektra assured Matt-2 as they shared a kiss, Faith feeling happy for them, and Matt as well.
Elektra then asked Matt and Faith. "And your Elektra is dead?"
"Yes", Matt said sadly. "First time, she took a blow meant from me from Nobu of the Hand."
"The Hand?" Elektra inquired.
"You don't know about it?" Faith was confused.
"I do know of it, but haven't been in any direct conflict", Elektra confirmed to the group.
"Guess that's another enemy to fight on going back", Matt-2 realized with a sigh.
"The Hand brought her back as their own weapon, but she broke through at the end, died in a building collapse", Matt told the other two. "And that was it."
"I'm sorry", Elektra sympathized with him. "Must have been hard."
"It was", Matt confirmed.
"Don't think she'd have blamed you though", Elektra assured Matt, before turning to Matt-2. "Because I don't blame mine." She finished. "I know, probably doesn't mean much, but I assure you I speak what I feel."
Matt considered for a bit, then said. "That actually means a lot, thank you." Elektra nodded. Matt grasped Faith's hand. "And I have someone else I love very much now."
"And that one ain't going anywhere", Faith added with a smile as she and Matt shared a kiss.
"At least I'm glad never to face your Fisk", Matt-2 then said. "I mean...he sounds like something."
"It took everything I had to beat him, considering how he had the FBI in his pocket, and the criminal underworld before that", Matt told him. No matter how many supernatural foes he faced, Fisk's intelligence and resources put him up with them all.
"Yep, mine decided to keep my identity a secret because he was too embarrassed to admit a blind man beat him", Matt-2 said, which made them all chuckle a bit.
Frank returned during that time with Frank-2 and Frank-3.
"Aha, now there's more of you too", Faith noted, then shot Frank-2 a look. "And you look just like Johnny Blaze?"
"Blaze? That guy's a stunt motorcyclist on my place", Frank-2 told her, still confused about the whole thing.
"He was one here too, before Mephisto", Matt shrugged.
"This Multiverse thing is a pain to think about", Frank-3 noted, looking at all the imprisoned villains, including Jigsaw.
"FRANK!" Jigsaw screamed.
"He's as bad as Russo", Frank commented. "Of course that guy was a traitorous rat bastard."
"Sorry to hear that", Frank-2 told him, as Frank had told both about Russo's betrayal here when they were sharing backstories.
"These are other heroes of your world?" Matt-2 inquired.
"One Frank is", Matt confirmed. "The other 2 are his doppelgangers."
"Like we said, many of all popping up", Faith told him, getting a nod.
"Peter, where's Peter?" Ock was now wondering, looking around everyone.
"BRUCE!" David Banner yelled
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Frank screamed at all of them, cocking his gun. "Or this goes through all of you."
"Yeah, and I'll add some of my own", Frank-3 lifted a bigger gun while cracking his neck.
"Damn! That guy's big", Faith muttered, looking Frank-3 up and down.
"Definitely wouldn't mind putting bullets through you lot", Frank-2 nodded, glaring at the Russian.
"So, they kill?" Matt-2 asked.
"Yeah, they do, but we don't question each other nowadays, so don't question", Matt shrugged, Matt-2 deciding not to pester more.
"2 Reds, huh?" Frank looked at Matt-2. "You're taller."
"Yeah I know."
"Not to worry, if I was going after tall guys, I'd go for Robin", Faith whispered to Matt and both shared a snicker at that.
"Good God, you lot can't even let me make out with a hot girl", Vamp Willow said as she suddenly appeared between them, banging the glass and baring her fangs.
"Willow?" Matt recognized her voice.
"Oh you, Red's Vampire doppelganger, they told me about you", Faith remembered, then looked at her. "Back again, huh?"
"Oh, you're hot too, wanna make out?" Vamp Willow asked. "Or I can drink you."
"Nah, not interested", Faith told her with a little wince. "Even if the leather looks…..like something on you." She turned to Matt. "Gonna try to purge it from my mind."
"All of you, stay where you are", Frank warned them.
"Or what, gunman?" Lothos inquired.
"We won't hesitate to kill", Frank-2 shrugged coldly.
Avengers Tower
Steve landed with Bruce-3, Tony coming in a few seconds later with Bruce and Bruce-2, as Johnny landed as well. The two Bruces had gotten some clothes which Tony had bought for them on the way.
"Nice place, better than our Tower actually", Johnny commented, looking around with a smirk. "I wanna have this."
Cordelia, Fred and Natasha appeared, then looked between both Steve and Johnny.
Cordelia started. "Is it just me or-"
"Yes, you're seeing double", Steve confirmed with a sigh.
"That's a doppelganger", Fred realized with wide eyes.
"You look younger though", Natasha noted.
"Yup, and hotter too, flame on", Johnny activated some flames in his hand, smirking. "See? Name's Johnny Storm."
"That's it, right?" Cordelia asked.
"Yeah, I know it rocks."
"Eh, seen better", Cordelia shrugged as Johnny sputtered.
Fred suddenly turned into Illyria, shocking Johnny and Bruce-2. "You look like Steven, but you reek of arrogance and stupidity like all other humans. It sickens me." She turned back to Fred.
"Whoa….what…." Johnny trailed off.
"Nothing, she loves voicing her opinion", Fred told him.
"So, you got two sides too?" Bruce-2 asked.
"Yes, and you are?"
"Oh, he's another Bruce", Bruce told her, shocking the group again.
"Huh? We really are getting double", Natasha noted.
"And this guy is Bruce too, we're taking him to the infirmary, get Cho on him", Tony said as Fred nodded, going to do just that.
"Might need some gamma radiation", Bruce added.
"Gonna leave him here for now, then let's go to the Sanctum", Steve said.
At the Sanctum, Angel and the Scoobies arrived too, with their doppelgangers.
"Wow, you got a lot", Faith noted, taking in all of the doppelgangers, as did Matt and Frank. "Whoa! D, that you?"
Slayer Dawn nodded. "Hey Faith. You're not psycho, are you?"
"Not anymore", Faith shook her head.
"Spike? Angel?" Faith noted the two guys.
"Call me Liam", Liam shrugged, swaying his trench coat.
"I am William, Watcher", William held out his hand, Faith looking at him strangely. He put his hand back and looked around at the people in cells. "Those are magic cells?"
"Yeah, they are", Liam nodded.
"Blimey, this is bigger than your stuff", William commented. "All of this is so...I am..."
"Could you try to tone down the awe?" Spike asked William, clearly annoyed by him.
"Now look here mate", William started. "I am a Watcher and you-"
Spike took Vamp face and William backed off in fright, getting some eye-rolls.
"And this is why I never liked you", Liam said to William with a scoff.
"Hey! I thought we were friends!" William said indignantly.
"In your dreams."
"Good to know some things never change", Angel smirked and chuckled as Buffy shot him a look so he shut up.
"Cordy?" Faith was surprised.
"Hey Faith, not mine I know, but hi", nerd Cordy waved, then looked at the cells. "So, these cells, they're made of what? Some sort of indetectable and transparent metal or-"
"You're a nerd?" Faith asked, shocked.
"Yeah, caught us by surprise too", Willow told her.
"Huh? Multiverse is truly strange", Matt realized.
"Yeah, nerd Cordy, now I've seen it all", Faith muttered.
"You got more of you and Frank too", Buffy noted, looking at them as she saw the one who looked like Blaze, before seeing Elektra. "You another Faith?"
"No, I'm Elektra", Elektra introduced herself as Angel shot Matt a sympathetic look.
"T?" Faith looked Tara up and down, jaw-dropped. "You're-"
Even Frank looked at her for a few seconds, and the other visitors were also taken in by her clothing.
"Hot and sexy, I know", sexy Tara winked, walking to Faith. "What do you say, you and I-" Then she noticed Vamp Willow and walked to her cell. "Oh hey there!"
"Hi", Vamp Willow smirked, now looking turned on.
"Okay, now I've seen it all", Faith finally said.
Sexy Tara turned to the rest. "Open this cell, I'm going in. We'll play the 'Dungeon' game in there."
Everyone looked at each other weirdly as Tara rubbed her forehead. "Please tell me this is a dream."
"Sadly, no", Dawn told Tara with a wince.
"Why, Goddess why?" Tara wondered as Willow patted her back.
"Stay away from the cells", Frank-3 warned sexy Tara, who looked indignant, but backed off nonetheless.
"This is no fun", Vamp Willow sighed.
"I know right?" Sexy Tara agreed.
"She is a Vampire who kills people", Faith told sexy Tara.
"And I'm supposed to care because…." Sexy Tara trailed off. "Right, the killing." She turned to Vamp Willow. "Don't kill people."
"Why's that?"
"It's wrong."
"But I love tasting blood."
"Get animal blood."
"No fun."
"I won't make out with you."
"Hey! I thought you liked me!" Vamp Willow was a bit angry now.
"I do, but come on, stop hurting people, its not right", sexy Tara requested her.
"And now it has gone into nightmare territory", Willow muttered to Tara, the others still dumbfounded.
"Yeah, I wanna wake up", Tara sighed.
"What is going on?" Faith wondered.
"This is next level weird", Elektra groaned.
"Eh. Seen worse than this", Liam scoffed, then turned to Vamp Willow and sexy Tara. "You two wanna make out?"
"Yes", both said at the same time.
"Well then, stop eating humans and she might do it with you", Liam shrugged.
"What if I don't?" Vamp Willow scoffed.
Liam smirked and his eyes glowed as he chanted in Latin with Willow, Tara, William and Ripper recognizing what he said. Vamp Willow gasped as she felt something in her head and fell to her knees, holding her head.
She then stood up, growling. "What did you do to me?"
"A chip. If you hurt humans, it will hurt you", Liam revealed, arms folded.
"Bloody hell!" Spike realized, shooting Liam a look, then backing off. "That's…"
"You can do that?" Buffy was shocked.
"Not much I can't do", Liam smirked cockily.
"It will hurt her only if she tries to hurt humans, right?" Sexy Tara inquired, sounding concerned.
"Yep, only then", Liam assured. "And you can take it out…..you have magic, right?"
"Oh yes", sexy Tara conjured some magic in her palm.
"Knew it", Tara sighed, still wondering what had made her doppelganger go down this new kind of road.
"Who are you?" Matt pointed at Vamp Xander.
"Oh, I'm Xander, half-Vampire", Vamp Xander said, taking Vamp face before coming back to normal.
"Whoa! Xan-man's a Vampire? Now that's new", Faith muttered, completely in shock. "Multiverse is so weird."
"You're Faith, huh? Look different from mine", Vamp Xander told her.
Faith looked at Ripper. "And who are you, handsome?"
"Oh I am Rupert Giles but call me Ripper", he introduced himself as Faith now looked weirded out.
"Not handsome anymore", she muttered.
"I will get you Ripper!" Rack screamed from his cell.
"I'll shoot you first", Frank-2 cocked his gun at him.
Logan then came in with Old Man Logan and Laura, Old Man Logan looking around at the cells. "This is magic?"
"Yeah", Logan nodded.
"Looks like bullshit", Old Man Logan scoffed.
"Seeing is believing, bub", Logan shrugged as then they noticed X-24 in a corner cell, screaming and trying to claw his way out.
"That evil you?" Buffy asked Logan, pointing at X-24.
"A fucking clone", Old Man Logan scoffed, glaring at it.
"And this is Laura", Logan introduced her to the rest before introducing them as well. "These are my friends."
"At least you have some", Old Man Logan sighed sadly, as he had lost almost all of his.
Peter entered with Maximoff and Tony-2, just as Steve, Tony, Bruce, Bruce-2 and Johnny arrived too.
"Whoa! Now we got two of you as well!" Dawn said, looking between Steve and Johnny.
"Oh yeah, name is-"
"Johnny Storm, he does 'flame on' a lot", Tony cut him off as Johnny glared but Tony shrugged carelessly.
"You're all hot, I'm hotter", Johnny commented to the ladies, turning into flames for a bit.
"Right, nice pickup line...for teenage girls", Faith smirked and Johnny was thrown off again.
"Am I losing it or are the ladies here dense?" He wondered.
"You never had it", Buffy folded her arms, making him sputter again.
"I am Tony Stark", Tony-2 waved at the rest.
"Whaaaaaaaa?" Tony looked at Tony-2 in shock. "You're….."
"So you must be my doppelganger", Tony-2 looked him up and down. "I look better."
"Hey! You made nanotech?"
"I did."
"There we go", Buffy muttered, looking between both as Peter and Dawn shared a hug and kiss, Slayer Dawn seeing it.
"Whoa! There's another Dawn here!" Peter looked at her. "And you're dressed like Felicia."
"Slayer and Black Cat", Slayer Dawn waved.
"Huh? And you Cordy?" Tony pointed at her.
"Yes, the Multiverse is so fascinating, and nice Universe you have here", nerd Cordelia said excitedly.
"Right, so a Cordy who behaves like Fred, gotcha", Tony muttered, looking at the rest.
"Liam."
"William the Watcher."
"Rupert Giles, Ripper."
"Xander Harris, I'm half-Vampire."
"Got it", Steve nodded, then he, Tony, Bruce and Peter all looked at sexy Tara strangely.
"Boy!" Peter muttered, surprised.
"I know, I'm hot", sexy Tara made an erotic pose and winked.
"Oooh, that was a turn-on", Vamp Willow smacked her lips.
Willow and Tara shared a strange look.
Steve saw Old Man Logan. "Hello."
"You are?"
"Steve Rogers."
"Right."
"A Vampire Willow too, huh?" Tony noted.
"So we got all the bad guys trapped here", Tony-2 noted.
"I am Peter Maximoff", Maximoff waved, introducing himself to them all.
"Maximoff?" Tony asked and got a nod. "You run fast?"
Next moment, Tony's watch was gone and Maximoff held it up, smirking cheekily.
"Hey! Give it back!" Tony snatched it from him as Maximoff snickered.
"And I am Bruce Banner", Bruce-2 introduced himself to all of them.
"So many doppelgangers, I'm about to get a headache", Spike muttered, groaning angrily.
"And we have a Daredevil and 2 more Punishers", Steve noted, looking at them all. "You look like Johnny Blaze."
"So I've been told."
Steve then looked at Elektra. "And you are-"
"Elektra."
"Right."
"What is going on here?" Ock asked as he walked to his cell's edge.
"You're in a different Universe, Octopus wannabe", Tony told him.
"What?"
"You know a Spider-Man who is Peter Parker?" Peter asked him.
"Yes."
"You know me?"
"No."
"That's what I'm talking about", Peter said.
"Who the hell are all of you?" Ock asked, looking at all of them.
"Bunch of people wondering what to do about this mess", Tony said to him.
"Yeah, what mess?" Vamp Willow asked, baring her fangs.
"Uh, I'm sorry, what was your name again?" Peter then asked Ock, pointing at him.
"Doctor Otto Octavius."
A beat, then... Peter laughed, and so did Dawn, Buffy, Faith, Johnny, Maximoff, Slayer Dawn, nerd Cordy and sexy Tara.
"Wait, no seriously, what's your actual name?"
He just glared at them all.
"Anyway, I think there are some more we missed", Peter said, looking at them all.
"Who else?" Buffy wondered.
Tony got a beep and looked through on his hologram.
"Nice one, I got the same", Tony-2 told him.
"Yeah? But its useless here", Tony shrugged, one-upping him now as Tony explained to the rest. "...disturbance near a military research facility outside of the city. And witnesses say that they saw a monster flying through the air."
"That's got to be the guy we saw on the bridge right?" Peter asked Tony-2 and Maximoff.
"That's impossible."
All of them looked up at Doc Ock in his cell. Peter moved towards him.
Steve inquired. "You know something?"
Peter realized what. "You know him, don't you? On the bridge, you said his name."
"Norman Osborn. Brilliant scientist. Military research. But he was greedy. Misguided."
Peter shared looks with the rest as Tony-2 said. "We had one on my Earth too."
Angel then asked. "What happened to this Osborn?"
Ock lunged forward, straining against the tentacles holding him in place as the 3 Franks raised their guns at him.
"Back off!" Frank spoke for all three.
"We tire of all your questions and threats!"
"Wow, this guy has a complex", Slayer Dawn said, looking at him. "And so do those tentacles."
"There's more, some Vampire woman appeared out of nowhere", Tony read through. "And a giant Lizard downtown, went into the sewers."
The Scoobies now exchanged looks as Tara started. "A giant Lizard….."
"Are you all thinking what I'm thinking?" Willow asked no one in the Scoobies in particular.
"Anything you wanna share with the class?" Maximoff asked.
"Could be another Curt", Peter nodded.
"We're getting him", Spike looked at Buffy. "Come on."
"Yeah, we can, just need to get a shot", Buffy nodded.
"I go after the Vampire woman", Angel raised a hand. "I can do it. Don't worry."
"I'll get the disturbance", Peter then said.
"We can stay here and coordinate", Steve assured.
"BRUCE!" David yelled again.
"Hello father, enjoy your stay there", Bruce-2 told him angrily.
"That's your dad?" Bruce asked in shock as Bruce-2 nodded.
"Yeah, yours isn't like that?"
"He was not a good guy", Bruce said sadly. "He was very cold, never hugged me or said anything nice, so we parted ways. Never seen him for years now."
"Good for you", Bruce-2 glared at David. "I remember now. He tried to kill me as a baby."
That got gasps and glares as Matt said to him. "You're really disgusting."
"If not for the Multiverse crap, would shoot your worthless ass right here", Frank-2 snarled at him.
"He deserves the worst", Willow agreed with a nod.
"Yes, you are truly disgusting", Ripper sneered at him.
Even Tara had her limits. This was one of them.
"How could you try to kill a baby, your own son?" Tara asked him.
"Only the best survive!" David Banner ranted crazily, making them all share angry looks.
"I'm sorry", Faith said to Bruce-2 in sympathy.
"Thanks."
Peter looked at the rest. "Okay. Um... I gotta go." He turned to Tony. "Where am I going again?"
"It can't be him", Ock then said.
"Why's that?" Faith asked.
"Because Norman Osborn died. Years ago. So either we saw someone else. Or you're flying out into the darkness to fight a ghost."
Peter seemed unsettled.
"Well, my mentor is a ghost and lived with us for months, so..." Matt shrugged, not caring about that.
"You're lying", Ock snarled.
"No I'm not", Matt shrugged.
"Your mentor's a ghost?" Matt-2 asked, even more shocked.
"Yeah, he died, then came back as one to annoy us all more."
"Huh? And I thought my life was strange."
"Wait", Elektra raised a hand. "Apparently, I was pulled before my death." She looked at Peter. "Maybe this Norman guy was too."
"Makes sense, Space and Time all broke so random points from everywhere", nerd Cordy babbled, the rest still trying to get used to her.
Peter was later swinging while talking to May on phone. "Look Peter, I'm worried. This Apocalypse and now these visitors-"
"No, no, no... May, we gotta find these guys. Its what we do."
May gave what seemed like a resigned sigh. "Well, finish your mission and then come by once."
"Will do."
The call was cut.
Angel walked into the alley, looking for their visitor, trying to sniff. Hearing something behind him, he turned and grabbed a hand that was about to stab him with a stake. It belonged to-
"Darla?" Angel was shocked.
"Angelus", Darla sneered, kneeing Angel and tossing him to the wall. "How are you still alive?"
Angel raised a hand. "Look-"
She kicked him and threw him at someone's feet. Angel looked up to see Faith.
"Faith?"
"Angel?"
Angel stood up, standing next to her as Darla walked to them.
"What are you doing here?"
"Don't know, just came out of nowhere and saw that one beating you."
"Right, you're not my Faith", Angel realized there was another visitor here. He noticed she was dressed like a cheerleader to some extent.
"Not yours? What-"
Darla grabbed Angel by the collar and threw him down, getting on top of him.
"Faith," punch, "can you," punch, "lend a hand," punch, "please?"
"Sorry, hun bun, fighting reeks of negative waves, so to keep positive, I never fight." Faith-2 said with a shiny smile and peppy tone that left Angel so confused that he didn't even register Darla kicking his ass, he was just too shocked.
"Go, Angel go!" Faith-2 cheered while whooping.
"Darla, stop!"
"No Angelus-"
"I'm not Angelus! I'm Angel!"
"And?"
Angel grabbed her wrist, stopping her. "Is Angelus dead?"
"I dusted him myself."
"Well, I dusted Darla", Angel told her, making her eyes widen. "Yes, I did. And she came back much later, became good, gave birth to my son, and sacrificed herself for him."
"What are you talking about?" Darla was confused.
"You're in a different Universe, one where I got a soul and became good", Angel said, realizing what kind of Universe she was from. "I'm serious. I'm not lying."
Darla looked conflicted, then backed down. "Can't make up something like that."
"You have a soul?"
"Yes, cursed by gypsies for drinking their favorite daughter."
"I killed her where I'm from."
"Yay, we're all friends now", Faith-2 cheered, running to them and hugging both. "And what's this about different Universes?"
Angel and Darla exchanged a confused look.
Spike and Buffy were moving through the sewers, looking around as Buffy asked. "You get anything?"
Spike sniffed. "Doc?" He sniffed again. "Think he's close."
"How close?"
"Very."
Next moment, Curt Connors aka Lizard from a different Earth leapt behind them and as they turned, he kicked both down.
They rolled away to avoid his stomps as Spike got behind him and grabbed him in a chokehold while taking Vamp face, struggling with him.
Lizard managed to throw Spike off as Buffy spin-kicked him, and then flipped behind him, kicking him once more. He turned and struck, but she ducked to avoid, sliding away.
Spike slid between his legs, getting on his other side, and grabbed him from behind once more in a chokehold, both struggling.
Buffy took aim and fired her repulsor, making him disappear as Spike landed.
"And that's done", he commented.
"Yeah, let's go back", Buffy said, the two walking off.
Spider-Man swung along high-tension power lines strung between giant transmission towers.
Dawn said into the laptop. "Keep an eye out on the trees. We don't really know where this guy is."
"Yeah, be careful", Tony-2 agreed. "Could be anything."
Spider-Man's cell phone was duct-taped to his chest so the others were getting live feed of his swinging.
Dawn commented on the phone screen. "I genuinely don't know how you do this without throwing up."
Spider-Man swung down from the power lines, landing in a dark forest. He walked forward, on alert... when something moved through the trees!
"Did you guys see that?"
"Um... no?" Ripper said. "Perhaps it has some sort of cloaking device or something?"
Willow and Tara shot him a surprised look. "What?"
"You like technology?" Willow asked.
"Yes, it is the future", Ripper shrugged.
"Damn right it is!" Tony-2 nodded.
"Wow! Stuff is different", Tara realized before turning to the laptop. "It's really dark. The guy could be hidden."
More rustling, now in the trees behind Spider-Man.
"He was right there", Matt said, having heard it. "Now he's gone."
"Yeah, would have been better if we went too", Matt-2 said.
In the distance, an owl called. The wind whistled through the trees.
"Okay, okay, okay..." Spider-Man continued on, searching, when- He stopped, spider-sense flaring as an eerie blue light crackled behind him.
"What's happening?" Faith asked.
Dawn asked as well. "Peter, what is it?"
Spider-Man readied his web shooter. Three glowing rings appeared.
"Spider-sense getting anything?" Dawn asked.
"He got Spider-sense? He is a human spider or-" Johnny started.
"Shut up" Liam snarled at him.
Spider-Man quickly turned to see a blue ghost. Hovering above the power lines, drawing energy from them. He seemed to have a spectral form.
"Are you guys seeing this?"
Dawn nodded. "Yeah..."
Tony-2 noted. "Not Osborn."
"Yeah, didn't look like that", Maximoff agreed.
"Definitely no. He was green, this guy's blue." Peter called out. "Uh... you wouldn't happen to be from another Universe, would you?"
No reply, save for the crackling bursts of electricity.
Bruce-2 asked. "What's he doing?"
"I don't know. It looks like he's charging."
Dawn shook her head, concerned. "I don't like this. The power seems like that Electro guy. Just web him."
Spider-Man magic-webbed at Electro... But the web went through his spectral form and hit a tree.
WHOOSH!
A huge tree appeared in a cell, crunched into the confines of the space!
"That's not an Edera Demon", Vamp Xander said, looking at the one that was there.
This new Electro jolted awake. He spotted Spider-Man- Electro blasted bolt after bolt at a retreating Spider-Man. On his cellphone screen, the others tried to direct him.
Johnny was saying. "Peter, go left! Left, left! Left, go- Left, yes!"
Dawn got annoyed and asked Johnny. "What are you doing?" She turned to Peter. "Go right!"
"Guys! This is not helping!"
Electro suddenly appeared before Spider-Man. With a blast, he sent Spider-Man tumbling to the ground.
The laptop screen sputtered, losing connection.
Dawn was concerned. "Oh, no, no, no... what happened? Peter?"
Johnny gulped. "Uh..."
"Peter!"
"You okay?" Matt inquired.
Spider-Man writhed on the ground, reeling from the blast. Suddenly- Electro charged at him, shooting another bolt, when—
A wall of sand whirled up and took the brunt of the shock... out of the swirling mass, a face appeared.
Peter was awed. "Whoa!"
The sand-face guy said. "Peter, it's me! Flint Marko! You remember?"
Peter realized this was another visitor who knew a version of him. "I'm Peter, but I'm not your Peter."
Flint was confused. "What do you mean you're "not my Peter?" What the hell is going on?!"
Peter assured him. "I'll explain everything. But first, can you help me stop this guy?"
"Okay."
"You try to surround him and I'll pull the plug. All right, let's go!"
Spider-Man webbed and swung back up into the fight, Flint aka Sandman acting as a wall of protective sand around him.
Electro launched electricity bolts! Sandman turned into a sand typhoon, swirling around Electro. Spider-Man landed on a transmission tower, dodging blast after blast of electricity.
Sandman's face appeared in the swirling typhoon. "I can't... hold him much longer!"
"I got it, I got it!"
One by one, Spider-Man webbed the various transmission towers... pulling back.
SPARKS!
The lines began to rip.
Electro's body grew dimmer as he drew less and less power.
Spider-Man severed the last power line and was thrown back, slide-landing onto the ground. Electro expended his seemingly last blast- before falling to the ground.
Sandman appeared at Spider-Man's side as he peeled off his mask. "A different Peter. Weird."
Peter slaps Sandman's hand. "Thanks." Sandman's hand scattered in the wind. "Sorry."
Sandman assured. "Don't worry about it.
Electro was now in human form. Peter noted unlike the Electro who was Apocalypse's Horseman, this was one was black with a beard and some hair.
The one Peter knew was white, bald and clean-shaven.
This new Electro, who was naked, looked around, remnants of electricity crackling down his arm. "I got my body back."
Peter called out to him. "Hey, um... this is gonna sound really crazy, but uh... this isn't your Universe."
"Another Universe?"
"Uh-huh."
Sandman asked. "What?!"
Electro realized. "That's what I was feeling. The power, it's different... I like it!" His eyes flashed.
Sandman raised a hand. "Easy, buddy."
Electro then suddenly asked. "So what? Y'all just gonna stand here and act like I ain't butt-ass naked?"
Sandman shrugged. "I am."
Peter quickly looked away. "Uh, no, no... uh... I uh—" Peter looked aside, seeing a utility shed with some line worker clothes inside.
WHOOSH!
Electro materialized in a cell in ConEd clothes.
"And we got him", Matt-2 noted as Dawn noticed Lizard had appeared too.
"Dr. Curt too", she said.
"Dr. Connors?" Faith called out as Lizard looked at her, then turned away.
"How is this room so big?" Nerd Cordy wondered. "Is there some sort of quantum sp-"
"Its magic", Tara shrugged as nerdy Cordy shrugged.
"Never understood it."
Doc Ock and Vamp Willow waved to Electro and Lizard from their own cells.
Sandman was spooked. "What was that? What did you just do to him?"
"No, no, no, it's okay, it's okay, it's okay…"
"Did you kill him?" Sandman was becoming angry.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa, listen, I can explain everything. You just have to trust me, please just trust me—"
"I don't trust you! I don't know you!" Sandman lunged at Peter who fired his magic web shooter.
WHOOSH!
Sandman was gone.
Sandman materialized in an empty cell. Furious, he pounded his fists against the barrier. "Ugh, what is this?!"
Electro shrugged. "You picked the wrong side." Electro heard laughter and looked over, spotting Lizard. "Connors?"
"So it is a version of him", Dawn confirmed it now.
"Was your version good or bad?" Slayer Dawn asked.
"Bad first because of confusion and lack of control, then good", Dawn told her.
Ock asked Electro. "Wait. You know this creature?"
"Everyone else seems to know everyone else", Vamp Willow scoffed.
Electro said to Ock. "No, no, no, no... not a creature."
"Same Universes here", Elektra realized.
Electro explained. "Dr. Curt Connors. He was a scientist at Oscorp when I worked there. A brilliant scientist. Until he turned himself into a lizard. Then he tried to turn the whole city into lizards, it was crazy!"
Lizard spoke up. "It wasn't crazy, Max. It was the next step in human evolution."
"So the dinosaur can talk", Johnny commented.
"Lizard", Dawn corrected him.
"Right."
"How was yours?" Tony-2 asked.
"He was our teacher, didn't have an arm, did experiments, became Lizard, got possessed by an evil entity, but we helped him, he died a hero", Dawn told them all sadly.
"Died?" Lizard was shocked, then turned to Max Dillon. "Speaking of which - what happened to you? Last I recall, you had bad teeth, glasses, and a combover. Did you get a makeover? You know I can give you a real makeover."
Max muttered. "Let me guess, into a lizard?"
"Exactly!"
Sandman asked. "Would you two just shut up?! Where are we?"
Ripper started. "It's complicated-"
Faith shrugged. "A Wizard's dungeon."
Max was shocked. "A Wizard's... a Wizard's dungeon?"
Tony-2 muttered. "Weird, I know. But no one can sugar coat it."
Dawn nodded. "Yes, it's literally the dungeon of a Wizard."
"As strange as it is to you", Matt added.
"Magic, all this talk is annoying!" Bullseye suddenly snapped. "I will kill you all for locking me in this place with these weirdos!"
The 3 Franks raised their guns and he sat down.
"Look, you can keep your magic", Max showed his glowing hands. "I want a taste of that new energy I just felt."
The overhead lights flickered.
"You want to give people lizard makeovers?" Sexy Tara asked Lizard.
"Yes."
"That's too far, even for me", sexy Tara commented as the rest, especially Willow and Tara, looked weirded out.
Dawn's phone rang. She answered. "Oh, Peter, hey!"
Peter was on the phone, surrounded by downed power lines. "Hey, uh... did those guys come through yet? There should be an electric guy and a sand guy."
Dawn confirmed. "Yeah, they're all here and locked up. Dr. Connors' doppelganger too."
"Oh", Peter muttered, wiping his face, thinking about his own Curt. "Okay, perfect. I'm gonna just stay here for a bit and try and fix some of this damage so JJJ doesn't blame it on me again."
"Okay."
"But hey, I uh... I couldn't do any of this without you people so... thank you."
"Yeah, of course."
Vamp Xander inspected the tree in one of the cells and turned to Dawn. "Hey, ask him if this is, like, a tree monster, or like a scientist that turned into a tree? Because not an Edera."
"This Xander is dumb, mine had a brain", Vamp Willow muttered.
Max added. "It's just a tree, man. Just a tree."
In a deserted alley, Norman Osborn desperately tried to cover up the Goblin Glider with trash.
"Coward! We have a new world to conquer."
Norman turned, seeing the Green Goblin mask hanging on a nearby dumpster. He trembled with fear.
"You make me sick."
Norman begged. "Leave me alone. Please…."
"Hiding in the shadows. Hiding from who you truly are."
Norman yelled. "No!"
"You can't escape yourself!"
Norman picked up a brick and smashed the mask. He ran off, Green Goblin's cackling laughter echoing around him.
Well, this was something.
Hope doppelganger reactions were enjoyed. Now not every character will react to every doppelganger but characters will react to their own.
Now we got a version of Darla who got ensouled in Angel's place, and a Faith who is pacifist and cheerleader both, thanks to Brainstorm Sorcerer for help with the latter.
Plus of course the movie villains. I had Michael Rosenbaum as MCU Electro to differentiate him from Jamie Foxx's version, who has showed up now.
Rosenbaum will be Electro and Foxx will be Max. Though if Foxx's Electro was made a Horseman, big trouble for the heroes, due to him understanding his powers and electricity better than the Rosenbaum version.
So Vamp Willow is chipped via magic now, though sexy Tara is powerful enough to remove it if she desires, but that's a different story.
Anyway, poor everyone for meeting Vamp Willow, sexy Tara and Ripper Giles, HA!
Hope all enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
