Secret Crisis: The Kang Dynasty Chapter 15
Kang's Fortress,
Kang with the Carnage Symbiote in hand walks over to the stasis pod to check on his project.(Read Green Arrow Annual)
"You've returned?" Asked Ravonna
"Yes. Everything went accordingly as I predicted."
"Did the heroes prove any trouble?" she asked.
"Not quite. But they did impress me. For all the little it did them"
Kang opens the stasis pod revealing Cletus Kassidy. The same one from Eddie's original universe with the bite on his head still remaining.
"Work your magic"
He placed the Symbiote on his corpse giving the two their long awaited reunion.
Carnage restores Cletus' life functions as the deranged psychopath gasps for air awake.

"Alright America. You gotta open a portal to get is back there right now" said Strange.
"I don't know how" she tells him
"You just did"
"Not on purpose"
"Our friends are back there along against a time traveling tyrant and I'm were the only hope they have"
"I can't control my powers!"
"You must be able to control it somehow! Even I could..."
"Doc! That's enough. She's just a kid for God sake" said Sara.
"Maybe we can try to find this earth's you America" suggested Peter.
"This earth doesn't have a me. None of them do" said America.
"How is that possible?" Asked Sara.
"I was born outside the Multiverse." Explained America.
"Okay so how do we get back home then?" Asked Sara.
"What about the Book of Vishanti?" Asked America.
"What about it?" Asked Strange.
"Other you thought it could help beat this...Kang that's been after me." she explained.
"So we find other, other you" said Peter.
The four walked the streets if New York en route to this earth's Sanctum, taking in the lush trees and plant life in the concrete jungle that is New York.
"Guess we know what earth can look like if it gets it shit together with climate change." said Sara.
They came across the crosswalk on a red light which Strange starts to cross only for cars to rush past him with America pulling him back.
"You go on Red?" Asked Strange.
"Rule Number One of the Multiverse, you don't know everything" she tells him.
"Good to know" said Sara.
The light turns green as it was safe to cross.
"So what's rule number two?" Asked Strange.
"Rule Number Two, find food. Preferably pizza" said America holding a paper bowl of pizza balls.
"Where did you get that?" Asked Peter.
"Is that...pizza balls? Where did you get the money for that?" Asked Sara.
"Most universes food is free. Weird that you guys have to pay" she explains.
However this catches the attention of the vendor.
"Hey! You didn't pay for those!" shouts the vendor.
"Pizza Poppa always gets paid!" shouts Pizza Poppa.
"Okay sir I'm sure this was just a whole misunderstanding" said Peter.
"Hey wait a minute? I know you! You used to be that Wrestler! The Human Spider or whatever it was. Back when I was a ring announcer! Ain't your wife the one with the superpowers too now?"
"My wife?" Asked Peter
"Alright Pizza Poppa relax, she's just a kid."
"Relax yourself there Doctor Strange! Where did you get this cape from anyway? Oh tjag feels authentic!"
"It's a cloak and I suggest you let go"
"You took this suit from the old Strange Museum didn't ya?"
"Strange Museum?"
"You're a taker huh? We how about you take some Mustard huh?"
Sara then was about to smack the bottle of Mustard from Pizza Poppa until starting waved his hand to stop him, point the bottle and forced him to squeeze it all over his eyes and made him throw the bottle down. He then waved his hand to force Pizza Poppa to punch himself in the face over and over again.
"Come on its not permanent" said Strange.
"You think that will stop in a few minutes?" Asked America.
"About three weeks"
"Sorry Mr. Pizza Poppa Sir!" apologized Peter.
"Three weeks huh? Kinda feel bad for the guy" said Sara taking a pizza ball.
"This stuff is good though" she adds.
The team finally made it to the Sanctum at long last.
"Guess this is the place." said Sara.
"Someone's coming out" said Peter picking up something with his Spider Sense.
Out came someone indeed as it was Earth-838 Baron Karl Mordo.
Strange and Mordo locked eyes into each other.
"You know him?" Asked America.
"Baron Mordo. He was actually the first person to lead me to Kamar-taj."
"Oh good!" said America.
"But then he snapped and dedicated his life to try to kill me"
"Well that's comforting." adds Peter.
"I got this" said Sara as she stepped forward only for Strange to stop her.
"I always suspected this day would come."
"Oh you did?"
"Yes. Because you would always suspect that this day would come. My brother."
Mordo then laughs a laugh if relief and goes to hug Strange.
"Alright." said Strange awkwardly hugging back.
"Do you think we should trust this guy?" Peter leans in asking Sara.
"Nope. You?" she asks back.
"Guess we'll find out"
"Come inside all of you. Let us talk"
