"Now can you speak or do you want to go for another round?" John asked. That Spider-Man shook his head. He knew that the man was on a completely different level. He felt fear for the first time in his life. His spider senses were screaming to stop any kind of assault that he might have been making up in his head.
"Tell me who you are?" John asked.
"I am Peter Parker. A Spider-Man of a different universe but from your conversation it seemed like you know." he said. John creased his eye brows because when the guy said he was Peter Parker he felt like this man was lying. But he didn't call out immediately.
"Why are you here?" John asked. He hesitated for a second but after a moment he finally decided to tell the truth.
"I am here with the other versions of me because various Spider-Man of different universes are being hunted down and killed. I figured it out sometime ago and for this I am establishing a team to combat this killer. He has already killed 4 Spider-Man in different universes. And I fear the killer is not alone."
"Oh really? then why did you attack us without any reason?" Damian asked. John on the other hand was silent when he heard this. There was only one storyline which came to his mind when this Peter Parker narrated everything.
"Because Spiderman never tends to work with a team. This is the first time we came here and thinking he was trapped here, so we sneaked in. Who knew that he is in league with a bunch of you freaks."
"Wait a second the Spider-Mans who were killed, did the dead Spider-Man have two puncture wounds in their chests?" John asked.
"Yes." His face brightened when John said those words. Though he didn't know how this powerful person knew of their way of murder it meant that at least he would be believed. Wayne who heard this also got intrigued now because the death of Black Panther was also like that.
"Have you dreamt of it?" Wayne asked.
"Oh yes I did." John saying that directly used his telekinetic powers on Spiderman with 4 claws and lifted him up.
"What? What are you doing? I just told the truth. You yourself just testified about it." the Spider-man screamed when he said that. He was scared now because his spider senses were telling him that something bad was going to happen.
"I believe you. You have told the truth and even your story is the real one. One killer, no, rather a family is hunting Spider-man in every universe. But there is one thing you lied about. You aren't Peter Parker." John said.
"What? What do you mean? I am Peter Parker. The only Spider-Man in my universe. I was thrown into the distant future." He shouted again while saying that.
"It's useless to lie to me Superior Spider-Man or rather Doctor Otto." John said with a smile.
"What?" Tobey was taken aback when John said that Dr. Otto was one of the villains he was forced to kill before.
"How? How do you know it's me?" Otto said. He didn't deny it because he knew it was useless to deny. But he was confused. Nobody knew that he was Doc Ock because when the incident happened nobody was present.
He was Doc Ock but in the body of Peter Parker. Due to an incident he replaced the consciousness of Peter Parker. And inspired by the dying wish of Peter he started doing good for the people but the only difference was that he was more brutal than the typical spider man as he killed his villains. Thus he was called the Superior Spider-Man in their universe from which he came from. And of course there is this situation where he was thrown to the future too.
"It doesn't matter how I know. You have been hiding in his body for a long time. It is rude to occupy someone else's body. Don't you think so?" John said.
"So what? I did my best. I cleaned my city which Peter could never do. I am the Superior version. Better than him." Otto said.
"You are right. You are better than him but the problem is Peter Parker is alive. Steve, please come here." John said and the last words of him brought Steve out of nowhere.
Steve who was in a sitting position directly fell on the ground with a sandwich in his mouth. It looked hilarious. Almost all of the people present laughed.
"Damn it John. I will sue you if you do this again." Steve said.
"Sorry Steve but we need your help here."John said.
"Help? Sure...Huh..." Steve who just got up finally saw the room and the people present. The 3 new Spider-Man that had appeared surprised him.
"What the hell is going on?" Steve asked as he didn't expect different versions of Spider-Man appearing. And like all he didn't see the invaders in good light.
Thanks to Doctor Strange.
"We have a situation here Steve. There are two consciousness on this body. Can you bring the passive consciousness out?" John said.
"What is going on? Tell me at first." Steve asked. John then proceeded to tell about the situation of this Peter Parker. His consciousness being replaced and taken over.
"Oh. Alright. This will be easy for me." Steve said as he activated his Uni-Power. Uni-Power allows greater control of consciousness and emotions. For this reason John called Steve. He was the best candidate to do these kinds of matters.
Otto who saw this was scared. He didn't expect that his whole secret would be out in a matter of seconds after coming to this world. He was only trying to save himself and all the other Spider-man but now it seemed that he was bigger trouble.
"No please don't kill me. Please... " Otto said.
"I am not going to kill you. I am just bringing the actual consciousness out." Steve said with a smile as his eyes glowed. He touched Otto's head with his hand. After passing a minute, Steve removed his hand. Otto, who was struggling to get rid of any influence all this time, finally opened his eyes. He had been trying his best to stop any kind of invasion in his mind but the Uni-Power was too overwhelming for him to resist.
"Are you back Peter?" John asked.
"Yes. Thank you. Uhh.. my head... it's ringing like a bell.. it was so dark in there.." Peter was fumbling his words as he was saying this. His consciousness was locked away all this time and he had been struggling to free himself. Even though he knew what was going on outside he could nothing about it.
His brutal murders openly and no care of law made him hate Otto more. Even though his work brought the crime under control it was not his way of doing things.
"Now tell me what is going on." Steve asked as all were curious now. Since John seemed to know of them it meant John had dreamt of it before.
"Ahh it's a long story. Avengers please gather at the Hall. We have an interesting case at hand." John said.
"You all must be really tired. Please come with me. I will tell you all about the killers." John said and before anybody could even say anything they were in the Hall.
"What the.." Andrew said.
"What just happened?" Tobey asked. In one moment they were in one place and in another moment they were in different surroundings. Tobey would have tried to escape but his spider senses told him that everything was fine, otherwise it would have warned him. And these were the same thoughts of Andrew and the other Spider-man.
"We are at our headquarters." Peter of their universe said with a sense of pride.
"Headquarters? You guys have headquarters? What is this Avengers he spoke of." Andrew asked.
"This isn't teleportation. I have seen teleportation before and this is nothing like that." The superior Spider-Man said.
"Because it isn't. This is John changing the reality around." Steve said as he understood John's power to the core now.
"Huh.. Changing reality? Is that even possible?" the superior Spider-man said.
"It's possible for him. How about you Peter? Are you ok? Is Doctor Otto asking for a chance back?" Steve asked as he was concerned for this new guy. Steve could feel that this Spider-man wasn't bad.
"I have locked him inside. He won't see the light of the day anytime soon." the Superior Spider-Man reassured. All the three Spider-Man was looking around the hall. But when they looked outside, they were dumbfounded.
They didn't expect that were not even on Earth anymore. But a satellite, that had its own weather and environment. And it was almost big as the Earth itself.
"Jesus on a motorbike. Why is this universe so different from ours? You have a team and now even a live on a satellite. This is unfair." Andrew said as he looked outside through the window. Peter was explaining all the things to the three of them. Since John had said that they were harmless, he was the first to be friendly with the other versions of himself.
As they were discussing, all the Avengers members reached. Not all, most. Because Strange and Thor didn't show up. They both felt it was not required for them to show up since John was looking over the case. Though they would keep an eye.
The Superior Spider-Man has seen his version of Avengers in his universe but he had never seen these new heroes that pooped up. He was amazed by how different this universe was from others. In Otto's search for the murderers he had seen many versions of Earth. Even a version were there was only death and radiation, but this universe was what that surprised him the most.
