EARTH-118:
"So what did you discover?" Anna asked Elsa, trying to take her mind off the predicament.
"Norman did all of this." Elsa answered. "He came here for a secret base and used it to create weapons." Elsa answered. "The dam. It's the answer. The only way to set them free is to break the dam."
"But...wouldn't that flood Arendelle?" Clint asked.
"Not to worry." A new voice said, scaring all of them when they saw it was just Vision. "We have arrived."
"Vision!" Clint cheered as he walked up and hugged him. "You're a vision. You have no idea it is to see a familiar face that's not either a goblin or an extremely old member of the Arendelle army."
"It is nice to see you too, Mr. Barton." Vision said as he just pats him on the back. "I am here to help in anyway I can to ensure we succeed in this mission."
"Where are the others?" Natasha asked.
"Outside. If destroying the dam is the only way to get them in, then it must be destroyed." Vision informed them.
"But wait, Peter was taken through the portal. We destroy the dam, we lose the power to open it, and there will be no way to bring him back." T'Challa warned them.
Elsa couldn't believe what they were saying and walked out of the cave. Anna was about to follow when Peter-119 stopped her.
"I'll take it." Peter offered as he walked off after her.
Elsa was pacing back and forth, no idea what she was going to do. If they did destroy the dam, they would get the Avengers' help to destroy the Goblin Nation, and there would be a chance of seeing her husband again. But there might be a chance that she might never see him again. There might be a chance he'll be stranded on that alternate world. If he's even still alive.
"You doing okay?" Peter asked as he walked over and sat next to her.
"Well, we are trapped in a forest where we don't have any means of escaping anytime soon, I might have lost my husband to another world, he could possibly be dead, and I might never know."
"Okay, so sounds like you're not having a good week." Peter stated, making Elsa chuckle.
"How do you always manage to make me laugh?" Elsa wondered as she blushed and pushed some hair out of her face.
"Because I always know how to cheer my girl up. No matter the universe." Peter stated and looked out to the horizon. "All joking aside, I know this: No matter the challenge, no matter the planet, no matter the world, you will always be my North Star, guiding my way home."
Elsa smiled and wished she could kiss him but knows that'd be awkward for the two of them since there's a small but noticeable age gap between them. So she just ended with getting up and looking to the sky, wondering if Peter is alive and working on a way to get home.
In the cave, Kamala was starting to walk away from the team when Teresa saw her and stopped her. "Hey, Kamala, where ya' going?"
Kamala stopped and turned to face her. "What's up?"
"What are you doing?" Teresa wondered.
"I...I thought it'd be best if I just hung back. Let you guys sort out what to do." Kamala said and gestured to the back of the cave.
Teresa didn't follow what she was talking about and was waiting for her to explain more.
"I don't know who I was kidding." Kamala scoffed and gestured to her outfit. "I'm no hero."
"I don't know, I have several witnesses who claim you saved my sisters-in-law, my brother, and a handful of civilians of the kingdom I'm pretty sure I'm the princess of." Teresa stated when she stopped to think about how fast her life changed. Last week she was a secret agent (technically) in the facility trying to take down the company, and then she ran into her brother. "Wow, last week feels ridiculous compared to now." She then got back onto the topic in hand with Kamala. "Anyway, back to you."
Kamala was confused about the sudden subject change, but seems they've gotten back on course. "I...I couldn't save him. I couldn't control it." She then dropped down and leaned against the cave and cradled up. "I'm a failure."
Teresa sighed and dropped down next to her and placed an arm on her shoulder. "Hey. Mistakes happen, kid. To be honest...I've made some mistakes here, too."
"How?" Kamala wondered.
"That day that you saw in the statues...of my parents.." Teresa started to tear at the memory. "I was...I was told to stay in the boat. There was a parole coming, and I couldn't be spotted. But...I left a doll Mom made for me in the open. I went to grab it...and they found me." Kamala couldn't believe what she was hearing and continued to listen. "Mom and Dad held them off and told me to stay hidden until they came to get me." She then took her hand and wiped the tears away. "I stayed there for three days before I realized they weren't coming back."
"I'm sorry." Kamala apologized.
"But that's how it works. I couldn't tell this to Peter because I wanted to get to know him before telling him." Teresa said as she got back on her feet. "You might've failed to save Peter the first time, back when you had no powers." She could tell there was sarcasm in that statement. "But you've made up for that, saving multiple lives already. You're already a hero. The only one left to convince is yourself." She then reached a hand out for her to take. "What do ya' say? Wanna help us finish the mission?"
Kamala smiled as she got back up and took the hand and lifted herself off the ground. "What's the plan?"
EARTH-119:
Peter was sitting on the edge of the lake, looking down at his own reflection, almost like he doesn't know exactly is looking back at him anymore. Elsa saw him moping and walked over and sat down next to him while holding onto her daughter.
"That face is universal, huh?" Elsa asked in a joking manner.
"What?" Peter asked as he turned to face her, finally acknowledging her.
"The it's my fault, even though it's not face." Elsa explained to him. "Seen it a lot on my Peter."
Peter chuckled and rolled his eyes. "I'm that predicable, aren't I?"
"Only to your girlfriend who can read you like a book." Elsa shrugged.
"Or my wife where I'm from." Peter stated.
"They'll most likely side to take you home." Elsa assured him.
"I don't know about that." Peter signed and looked down at the wounds Anti-Venom. "And even then, I don't know if I can fight those monsters on the other end."
Elsa sighed and didn't know what she could do to help, her Peter was always a believer. Meaning this one was really beaten down or shaken up with his battle from Anti-Venom, which she could understand. Even her Peter was afraid of him due to the fact he could drain his power and Peter could never even get a hit in.
"Hey," Elsa grabbed his hand and clutched onto it. "You need to go home. I know I'm probably freaking out, wondering if you're dead or lost to the cosmos somewhere."
Peter chuckled and knew that's probably what she's doing. "Yeah. I know you that well. And I also know you'll always guide me home. One way or another."
Elsa looked down and saw April had finally gotten to sleep. "Well, I gotta go put her down. Leave you to sulk with the water."
Peter chuckled and Elsa got up before wandering back to the castle. Peter then looked down at his reflection before looking back up and saw the North Star.
"We sure this is the right thing to do?" Stark asked as he looked at Peter through the windows.
"This is not his home, Tony." Natasha stated. "He needs to go back."
Tony sighed as he rubbed his eyes before they could water up. "I know, it's just gonna be hard to see him go again."
Peter teared up as he reached into a pocket and pulled a photo he took of him and Elsa, back in New York when they just saw the show Wicked.
"Elsa..." Peter sighed at the photo and looked back up to the sky. "I've seen dark before, but never like this."
118:
"This is cold, this is empty, this is numb..." Elsa whispered as she hugged herself and looked down to the child growing inside of her. "The life I knew is over. The lights are out. Hello, darkness. I'm ready to succumb." She looked up and saw what looked to be the lights of stars trying to shine through the fog. "I've followed you around, chased you to the ends of the Earth. But you've gone to a place I cannot find worth."
"This grief has a gravity that always pulls me down." Peter whispered as he walked across the edge of the water. "But it's like a tiny voice is in my mind. You are lost. Hope is gone. But you must continue to go on." He then became determined and looked up to the stars. "And do the next right thing!"
Elsa, almost like she was hearing his voice, started to become determined herself, rising off of the ground and talking a few small steps.
"Can there be a day beyond this night?" Elsa asked as she continued to comfort her child, who probably had no idea what's happening. "I don't know any more what is true."
"I can't find my direction, I'm all alone." Peter whispered as he doesn't know which is the correct path without her to help guide him. "The only star that ever guided me was you!"
"How to rise from the floor?" Both of them sang, almost in perfect unison, despite being universes away from one another. "When it's not you I'm rising for?" Both of them then looked back at their teams and both had the same idea. "Just do the next right thing. Take a step. Step again. It is all that I can do to do the next right thing."
Both of them started to take bigger steps, almost echoing one another in movement as they moved to reached the highest point of view.
"I won't look too far ahead!" Peter promised as he kept marching, growing in determination to get home.
"It's too much for me to take." Elsa admitted, as she's growing farther from what she thinks is the right thing to do, but for some reason she's growing in confidence that her husband is somehow alive and is encouraging her on. "But break it down to this next breath. This next step. This next choice is one that I can make!"
"So I'll walk through this night!" Both sang and looked out to the horizon, one seeing the sun rising over the ocean, the other seeing the Goblin's facility was getting ready to move out. "Stumbling blindly the towards the light! And do the next right thing! And with the dawn, what comes next? When it's clear that everything will never be the same again?" Both closed their eyes and reached their hands out, almost like they're trying to feel each other's touch, at least one last time. "Then I'll make the choice. To hear that voice and do the next right thing!"
Peter almost felt like he could feel her slightly cold touch when he held out his hand and knows she hasn't given up hope on him quite yet.
"Elsa...I'm coming home." Peter whispered, hoping by some miracle she could hear him.
Elsa almost felt like when she held out her hand she could feel the warmth and comfort Peter would always bring to her when they were close. Almost like a forcefield of comfort.
It was almost like a feeling. A feeling that she would only feel when she was around the man that she loved. And that's all she needed to have faith that he's out there and is coming home.
"Peter...I'll be ready." Elsa promised and knew he was working on a way to come home. Determined, she looked back and smiled at the team before approaching. "Peter's out there. And he's gonna meet us at the portal."
"How the heck do you know that?" Clint asked her.
"Call it a sense." Elsa shrugged.
"Really? That's what you're going off of?" Clint questioned, not convinced.
"She can create things out of ice, froze the world at one point, everyone here sings a musical number randomly, and you don't believe she can feel her loved one trying to come home?" Natasha asked with sarcasm dripping from her voice. "I'm on her side."
"Speaking of sides, that means we need both ends of the portal open and functioning." Kamala informed them.
"So then we get to the facility, some of us will have to hold back the Goblin Nation, while the others sneak in and power the portal." Elsa told them the plan.
"Yeah, and what about the all-powerful Green Goblin who recently gained the powers of the knowledge of the universe?" Teresa asked them.
"Cross the bridge when we come to it." Kristoff shrugged. "It's how we roll."
"Yeah, and sometimes it ends well for us." Olaf assured her as he raised his head from the rest of his body.
"That's not comforting." Teresa informed them.
"Well, it's the best we can offer." Scott told her.
"We have gone up against worst odds than this before." Hope guessed.
"I can concur." Vision agreed.
Earth-119:
Peter walked back to the team and saw them all standing with smiles on their faces.
"What's this?" Peter asked as he gestured to them all.
"We've made a decision." Steve said as he crossed his arms. "We're going to get you home."
"Thanks." Peter was happy to see they were all on board with getting him home.
"We already have a Quinjet coming down to pick us up. Once we return to the Helicarrier, I have something that could help us." Tony said with a smile. "Something that's been in the works for years."
Once the Quinjet came down, they returned to the Helicarrier and all were given suits done by Stark that added on their current designs, that was updated by Stark Tech.
Elsa came in with a new mech suit that covered her ice dress with matching color armor and goggles over her eyes of the same icy design.
Peter was wearing an armored variant of his original suit that was damaged with some different design and suit fabrics, the new advanced suit is simply the same suit as the Advanced Suit, but with some white (with a little bit of black) armor on it.
Even Hulk was wearing some advanced tech pants and gauntlets over his wrists.
"I gotta say, I'm loving this suit." Peter commented.
"It looks good on you." Elsa complimented.
"Alright, Avengers." Cap said as he marched ahead, his helmet now advanced with a matching design armor and light coming out of his eyes. "Our plan is to storm Ultron's base, discover where the portal is, and get Peter through it after Stark connects it back to the portal on his Earth. The rest of us will keep Hank busy. Remember, he was once our friend, so he might try and use that against us. Don't let him get inside your heads. Do the mission, get the job done, and destroy the portal afterwards."
"Actually...keep it open for as long as you can." Peter asked of him, making everyone turn to him. "Kamala. She still needs to come home."
"You sure she wants that?" Elsa asked, a little unsure. "She doesn't have much to come back for."
"Well, she deserves to have the choice for herself." Peter supposed, not going to make those decisions for the kid.
"We'll hold down Ultron's fort the best we can, and maybe even take that Robofreak down once and for all." Tony promised Peter. "Just make sure Norman never returns."
"I'm going to finish this mission once and for all." Peter promised him with a nod and eyed the rising Quinjet with more armor over it in order to take several hits. "Let's do this...one...last...time."
