Finally back with another chapter of this story and jesus fuck coming up with ideas is a pain sometimes, hope you enjoy it though!
A week had passed since the encounter with Narutaki, and overall...things were going pretty well for the Verdant family all things considered. As far as the hero side of things went, Decade had been pretty well received, with the OFFICIAL story released being that the armor was an experimental armor made by Stark Industries which he'd been chosen to use. Things with SHIELD were...going pretty well as well, as with them being cooperative, things were going smoothly. It also helped their contact was Coulson. This had also met to them meeting with the Avengers they hadn't already met, such as Bruce Banner, Hank Pym, and T'Challa. They'd also had more chances to talk with Tony, who spent most of his time studying the Decadriver. Aside from the Avengers, they'd gotten to know and befriended the Parker family after their recent encounter.
On the flipside, there were...issues as well. Top of the list was the Paparazzi that often liked to hover around their house. In retrospect revealing you're a super...might not have been the smartest. Then there was the usual jackass who just never seemed to go away from this city and hated masked bug themed heroes to the point of irrational hate. Speaking of which…
"Once again this fair city finds itself playing host to yet another menace!" the irritating voice of one J. Jonah Jameson said over the radio. "Some might say I'm being unreasonable, but I say they just don't see the big picture. For years more and more of these freaks have been setting up shop in our fair city and with each of them, a host of new villains come with them! I say-!"
"And that's enough of that," Andrew sighed in annoyance, cutting off the radio. "I see he's as sunny as always."
"Yeah, he didn't really get better after leaving the bugle and getting his own radio show." Peter said, shaking his head.
"I don't know what's crazier. That he's STILL on about that, or that people still buy it," Alicia mused. "He doesn't exactly sound like the picture of sanity when he talks like that."
"Well, insanity IS doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result so…" Andrew snorted.
"What surprises me personally is that he doesn't even give the menace treatment to heros that were villains before, or that are berserkers." Mary-Jane added.
"Yeah, Bruce admitted that even he'd deserve some hate from JJ." Peter said, some annoyance in his tone.
"Does he do that to pretty much EVERY bug themed hero?" Alicia couldn't help but ask.
"Let's see… he's done it to Gwen, he's done it to Miles, he did it to Michael, he did it to Cindy, he did it Flash… that's just the spiders mind you, he's also done it to Hank and his wife." Peter counted off his fingers.
"Calling it now. He's a glorified insectophobe, and yes, I know the deal with spiders not actually being insects, but that's besides the point," Andrew snorted. "Is it just me or does that honestly make him seem smaller and smaller on any respect scale? And there wasn't much to begin with."
"Would DEFINITELY explain the beef against heroes who are themed around insects," Alicia sighed.
"It's a theory that goes around school a lot." Michael said as he came in, he was a young brown haired boy in his teenage years, Miles following in with him.
"Hey kids, any superheroics we haven't seen on the news today?" Peter asked.
"We avoided any of those thankfully… can't say the same for Kamala though, Ms. Marvel had to step in at one point." Miles said, chuckling a bit at the end.
"Did you tell your mom you were coming here Miles?" MJ asked with a knowing eyebrow.
Miles looked away for a moment "I'll… uh… I gotta make a quick call…"
"Phone's in the kitchen." Peter said with a laugh, as Miles ran into the kitchen to call his mother.
"So, what were all doing?" Michael asked as he leaned on the couch.
"Hanging out, listening to the radio, telling them your origin story." Peter said idly.
Michael looked at him in deadpan, before looking at Andrew "How much did he say?"
"Honestly I wouldn't be surprised if he told us fake stuff just to embarrass you." Andrew said, and rolled his eyes when Peter started whistling 'innocently'.
Michael sighed at that, before sitting on the couch "Alright, let me give you the quick version. A couple of years back, my family was caught up in an accident because of Doc Ock, my parents died, but I was saved by Spiderman, I needed a blood transfusion though because I lost a LOT, and turns out, I share blood types with my favorite superhero. We didn't know though that his blood would end up giving me spider powers like his own. So, when those start to awaken, of course I'm a hyper happy kid and trying them out, and then I run into my hero while I'm climbing up a building, he takes me in, teaches me, and I get adopted, and I am now officially Michael Parker."
"Sorry about your parents, but glad that for better or worse, things worked out for ya," Andrew said.
"I still miss them, but I can't say I don't like my life now," Michael sighed as he sat down. "Come to think of it, I never did ask what was your story. I mean I know the thing about your armor being one of Stark's is just a cover so nobody knows about the 'from another dimension' thing, but I was kinda curious about that."
"Well...for the short version of our story, I've literally only had the belt for a week," Andrew sighed. "I was just coming home from grocery shopping one day when I bump into someone I thought was a famous Japanese singer… only to find out they were literally the character from a live action TV show series I was a fan of. He handed me the Driver and Booker, and suddenly I'm seeing a bunch of monsters that I THOUGHT were fictional starting to tear apart the city and I can turn into one of the heroes of the show. Then after fighting my way through a bunch of monsters, I managed to get home, we locked the doors and boarded the windows and suddenly the old tv turns into a means to send us through dimensions, and here we are," he explained.
"Huh… so that's why your house just appeared out of nowhere at that time." Michael blinked.
"Honestly, I'm surprised you even noticed it, nobody else did." Alicia noted with a raised eyebrow.
Michael could only shrug "I have no clue how I noticed either."
"So...what are you both planning on doing now? Somehow I doubt you're just going to stay here," Mary-Jane asked.
"You'd be right," Andrew sighed. "If this is anything like Kamen Rider Decade, then we'll probably have to use the TV to go to Alternate Rider Worlds, resolve some kind of issue in each world, unlock the Ride cards, and then work to find a way to fix this mess or whatever is causing it in the first place," he pinched the bridge of his nose, before a thought crossed his mind. "Hang on, I got the Riders I'll probably need to unlock in my laptop," he said, before retrieving said device, and going to the folder he kept his image collection. "So far the Booker has all the Showa Riders unlocked, but I'll need to unlock all the Heisei Riders save probably Zi-O...hopefully."
"What do you mean by hopefully?" Peter asked curiously.
"Chances are he'd be a headache and a half, since he's the final Heisei Rider, and much like me, he borrows power from other Heisei Riders, hell, one of his super forms takes the powers of Decade." Andrew summed up.
"So...these are the guys you're gonna have to unlock?" Michael mused as he browsed through the images. "They're definitely….unique. Though...what's with the guy who looks like someone sowed two suits into one and the guy who looks like a traffic light?"
"Oi, those two are my favorite, so watch it." Andrew said jokingly. "But to answer the question, the first is Double, the two-in-one Kamen Rider, a single body with two minds, the other is OOO, a rider who's kind of a world travelling bum and uses a combination of three medals to transform."
"These are some pretty crazy designs they've got here," Peter mused as he browsed through as well. "I mean, the first 9 before you seemed pretty normal looking more or less, but after you...the designs kinda go crazy. I mean, they've got one that looks like an astronaut, a samurai who looks like he's got armor themed around an orange, this guy who looks like he jumped out of a video game, and is that a tire on this guy's body?"
"Yeah, the Neo-Heisei Riders got a little nuts in the design, though funny you should mention, but normally the dumber the design, the better the show," Alicia chuckled. "Except Build. He had a cool design AND a good plot."
"Nothing beats Gaim though," Andrew chuckled. "He's the orange samurai if you're wondering. Nice show. A story about coming of age which ended in a 'boy' becoming a man who could save the world."
"So… the one with the parka?" MJ asked curiously.
"Crappy story that got way too repetitive." Andrew sighed "And the main character became something of a meme."
"Ah...yeah, that's a shame whenever it happens," Peter nodded, remembering PLENTY of shows that just...went wrong.
"Yeah well, if there's one world I'm not looking forward to going to immediately….its Kabuto," Andrew frowned.
"What's wrong with that one?" Michael quirked an eyebrow.
"The monsters are a race of alien shapeshifters like the Skrulls, only with the power to speed up their metabolism so much they'd make Quicksilver look like a snail when they move. Because of that, the Riders, who mind you aren't exactly 'normal minded' people in the show have to use a Clock Up system which lets them basically move at light speed. Does that answer your question?" Andrew said flatly.
"Well… that's a LOT of issues in just one world." MJ summed up, all of them wincing at the idea of fighting something that could beat them up before they could even start to blink.
"The only way I'm surviving that is if I get my hands on Kuuga, Faiz, Wizard, and/or Drive, since they're the only ones who had an ability to either perceive or react that fast," Andrew nodded.
"Well, here's hoping," Michael nodded. "So...what do you plan to do now?"
"Honestly? No clue. I guess we could just move on anytime, but somehow I just feel like it's not the right time," Andrew sighed. "Its like something at the back of my head is telling me to keep waiting till I get a sign or something."
"Huh… sounds kind of like the spider sense in a weird way." Peter noted idly.
"Well, whatever the sign is I just hope its not-" Andrew started, but didn't get to finish, as the sound of screaming was heard. "...huh, a full day. That's gotta be a new record."
"Eh, we've gone longer," MJ shrugged.
"Welp, time to deal with that," Andrew said, getting up and slapping on the Decadriver. "I'll meet you guys downstairs," he said...before promptly jumping out a window, just as they heard him shout 'Henshin'.
"He got used to that way too quickly." Alicia said in deadpan as she watched her husband jump out the window.
"Which, trust me, it's both good and bad." Peter said, having quickly donned his spiderman costume and jumped out the window, it helped it was facing a wall in an alley with no other windows present.
"Wonder what's going on though." MJ said, donned in a black and white costume that left her mouth exposed and her hair fall out, Michael following after her in his own suit, and Miles pulling on his mask as he jumped out after them.
"Alright, what's going… on… oh find me in the alps." Andrew said with anger creeping into his tone as he saw what had the people running.
It was a humanoid being, its body red in color, looking like a feline, a belt around the waist and a black cape hanging off the shoulders, a sword in hand.
Pantheras Rubeo, a Jaguar Lord.
And judging by the body he could see hanging from a tree not far away, he had just started a hunt for those he would consider targets...and this was the world of Marvel where people develop super powers like they're going out of style. In short, a world in DIRE need of 'cleansing' as far as the Lords are concerned.
"Ok, what's the issue?" Spiderman asked as he swung onto the scene, landing on a car next to Decade.
"You're looking at Pantheras Rubeo, a Jaguar Lord, they kill their victims by snapping their necks and hanging the corpses from trees." Decade explained quickly, before rushing at Rubeo when he was about to pick up an elderly man, punching the Lord in the face and knocking him away as he turned to the man, and quickly recognized him "Stan, you might want to clear out this spot."
"No need to tell me twice." he said before quickly running away, as fast as his old body could anyway.
Rubeo tried to counter, but was met with a web to the face, forcing it back as it tried to get the web out.
"I know I'm probably gonna regret asking, but what's this thing's beef?" Spiderman asked, right as Spiderwoman, Night Spider, and Arachnid (the name Miles gave to himself to be at least a LITTLE unique) joined the fray.
"You know the Sentinels?" Decade asked, earning a few hesitant nods. "Think them, only made by a control freak god who basically wants humanity to not evolve at all costs. So yeah, literally every person on the planet with some kind of superpower, active OR latent, is marked for death as far as the Lords are concerned, and I mean EVERYONE, even unborn babies."
It was safe to say the others all wanted to either puke or rage at the Lord when they heard that, feeling disgusted with the monster that was getting up.
"So… no objections with me killing it?" Decade checked.
Spiderman took a deep breath "I can't believe I'm actually going to say this… but send that thing to hell."
"Not a problem," Decade nodded, before drawing a card, and inserting it into the Driver. "Henshin." "KAMEN RIDE: BLACK!" The Driver glowed brightly at that, before the armor glowed as well, taking on the appearance of a grasshopper/human hybrid, which then quickly streamlined into the familiar armor of Kamen Rider Black, steam hissing out of the joints in the armor.
The moment the transformation was complete, a small burst of energy was released, and Rubeo stopped, turning to focus on Decade, yet in confusion. "A...gi...to?"
"Perfect," Decade smirked.
"I don't get it," Arachnid blinked.
"Agito, as in Kamen Rider Agito, are really any humans with a mystical energy in them called the 'Seed of Agito', which when fully awakened allow them to become said Rider. I was betting that Kamen Rider Black's King stone should be similar enough that he'll focus on me," Decade explained, as true enough, Rubeo let out an angry roar and lunged for him. Of course… "MACHINE RIDE: BATTLE HOPPER!" He was met with a wheel to the face courtesy of the Machine Decader in the form of Battle Hopper coming from...somewhere...knocking him away.
"Let's not prolong this. I'm not letting you get away, and I can bet Fury is gonna want to talk to me about this first chance he gets," Decade sighed, before slotting in a new card. "ATTACK RIDE: RIDER PUNCH!"
"Rider Punch!" Decade called out as his right arm ignited with what appeared to be flames, jumping forward and punching Rubeo, pushing him back, followed by another card being slotted in. "FINAL ATTACK RIDE: B-B-B-BLACK!"
"Rider Kick!" Decade continued with the assault, jumping up with his foot ignited and landed a strong kick to Rubeo's chest, causing him to hiss in pain as he was pushed back a good distance away, shakily getting to his feet.
"It still wants more?" Spiderwoman frowned, the Spider Family...not actually managing to do much other than make sure the civilians were out of the way.
"Wait for it," Decade said, reverting to his default form. Right on cue, Rubeo grasped his chest, as a halo of light appeared over his head, and with a roar, he exploded. "There it is."
"Okay, so the monster is gone...now what?" Arachnid asked.
"Clean up, and I'll have to talk to Fury about this," Decade sighed.
"So it just showed up out of nowhere?" Fury asked once they were on the helicarrier with everything explained now.
"Yeah, not sure why it suddenly appeared, but chances are their will be more to come… I'm just pissed off it managed to kill someone before I ended it." Andrew said with a frown.
"And what do you think this means?" Fury prodded.
"I'm thinking it means what happened to my homeworld isn't isolated. Whatever caused them to appear in my world might be causing them to leak into other worlds as well," Andrew said.
"And do you have any idea what might have caused them to appear in your world?" Fury asked.
Andrew was silent for a moment, before scowling "Shit. Dai-Shocker is here."
"Dai-Shocker?" Fury repeated with a raised eyebrow.
"A group of terrorists hellbent on world domination by turning the population of the world into cyborgs, they've become multiversal cockroaches over the years." Andrew explained in annoyance.
"And you think they might be involved in this?" Fury pressed.
"They're the most likely candidate," Andrew shrugged. "Problem is, I can't say for sure or not, only that SOMETHING is causing monsters to leak into the wrong worlds."
Fury frowned deeply at that. If what he was saying was true, this could very well be just the start of what might as well be a full blown invasion. "Do you have any possible solutions?" he asked.
"Well, there's one solution that I know of but that's a firm 'hell no' in my book," Andrew sighed. "I'd have to do the same thing the original user of the armor did, and basically murder every last one of his predecessors, turning them all into cards, while destroying the worlds, then basically get myself killed so the worlds will be restored to the way they were before the whole crisis."
Fury looked at Andrew for a long moment, before releasing a sigh "Your predecessor was crazy kid."
"Crazy, and a genius, but in an annoying way." Andrew summed up in deadpan.
"Any other ideas?" Fury asked again.
"Well, probably continue on the journey, unlock the rest of the Rider Powers, and then dismantle Dai-Shocker...and hope I get a fucking clue along the way as to how to FIX what the heck is going on," he said, the last part with a loud groan.
"It ain't easy suddenly getting so much responsibility kid." Fury summed up, understanding somewhat where Andrew was coming from.
"At least Alicia and I don't have a kid, that would just give Dai-Shocker another way to get to me." Andrew said with a sigh.
Fury would have said something, but an alarm suddenly started to blare. Acting quickly, he opened communications. "What's the situation?"
"Sir! We've received reports of a breach in The Raft!" the operator said frantically.
"Oh… crap, that's the jail with all the supervillains locked up in it, isn't it?" Andrew asked with wide eyes.
Fury's nod was all the answer he needed for him to run out of the room and find a way back down to street level. He found his answer when he passed a launch bay, and quickly ran in. "Hey! I need a way out! Gotta get to The Raft!" he shouted to the nearby operator.
"But...there aren't any prepped vehicles," the operator pointed out.
Andrew's response was to give them a deadpan look and slap the Decadriver around his waist.
"Right...opening bay," the Operator said sheepishly.
Once the door was open far enough, Andrew ran towards it and jumped out, falling out of the helicarrier and through the clouds.
"This does feel pretty amazing, I gotta admit." he mused for a moment, before his face became serious as he drew out a card "Henshin!" and slotted it in "KAMEN RIDE: SKYRIDER!"
The Raft was a large imposing building as always, inside housing some of the worst villains to ever terrorise the world...and it was on fire. The mighty struc-
"Okay okay, now you're just hamming it up Timeless. Yeah the Raft is big, but you don't need to spell it out for the readers," said a very iconic man wearing a red and black suit, katanas strapped to his back, magnums at his waist, and possibly several other weapons hidden on his person.
"Yeah, like a big fat-" Please don't "Oh come on! Why not?!" This story isn't rated M "Fucking… fine, I won't mention that one, but that's the only freebie you get Swift, alright?!... I'm doing my intro though!" Fair enough.
The man cleared his throat as he looked at the screen, and he totally noticed the backspacing when the author almost misspelled throat, before grinning broadly beneath his mask "Hey there kiddies, it's your pal Deadpool here to hop into this crazy story, and I don't plan on leaving, so expect to see me around a LOT!"
"Deadpool? What the heck are you doing here?!" came Night Spider's voice as he swung in, having been nearby when the explosion happened.
"Oh hey, and Spiderboy finally arrives," Deadpool laughed.
Night Spider stared at the crazy mercenary in deadpan, before sighing "I don't have time for your usual stuff. Do you know what happened here?"
Deadpool hummed, before he suddenly pulled a script out of nowhere and flipped through it a bit, stopping on a page, putting on a pair of reading glasses he got from somewhere, looking through the page a bit before nodding, closing the script back up, and storing it away with the glasses "So, the guys after your dad's new friend kinda broke some people out."
"...I'm sorry, what?" Night Spider blinked. "And where did...oh...wow...Andrew wasn't kidding when he said you seriously can do...that…"
"Takes the fun out of it that you guys know what I'm doing, but still hilarious nonetheless." Deadpool said with a laugh, before he grabbed a l tter out of the air and chucked it at a random prisoner that was running towards them.
Night Spider slowly blinked "Did you… did you just chuck the letter e at someone and slap them in the face with it?"
"Yeah, I pulled it out of the text. You should see what I can do with a health bar and super meter!" Deadpool laughed.
"...I'm just gonna go stop the prison break now," Night Spider groaned.
"Sure, though friendly advice, watch out for the squid," Deadpool said.
Night Spider WOULD have asked….but he ultimately decided he'd find out himself rather than risk his sanity further. Once he reached the Raft, he wasted no time in catching any of the escapees that he came across, quickly webbing them up and generally doing what he could to buy time for the response teams to come. However, as he worked fast, he couldn't help but notice a notable...lack...of the big names. They couldn't have escaped ALREADY, could they? He didn't have long to ponder, as the Spider Sense flared up, and he evaded what appeared to be an electric charged tentacle. When he looked to the source, he saw a humanoid squid, its body white with a red cape attached to itself, black boots, and a golden belt with the emblem of a falcon on it, its talons gripping the planet earth below.
"Who the heck are you?" Night Spider couldn't help but ask.
The creature was about to respond...if he weren't hit by several energy blasts, knocking him back. "I had my suspicions, but seeing you here just proves Dai-Shocker is involved, isn't that right, Ikadevil?" Decade growled as he entered the scene.
"You know this guy?" Night Spider asked.
"Not personally, but I know he's a monster created by Dai-Shocker, even if last I saw Shishi Red and Ex-Aid defeated him," Decade said. "Now answer me, what are you doing here!"
"Heh, Decade...no, someone else using the armor. You're too late, we've already taken over this prison, and are extracting the test subjects as we speak!" Ikadevil laughed. "Just you wait, once the new cyborgs are complete, ALL worlds will be under our thumb!"
"...did he seriously just give the entire plan?" Night Spider deadpanned.
"He was never the brightest Kaijin." Decade answered dryly.
"Yeesh… talk about retarded." Night Spider said with a facepalm.
"But also really convenient for us," Decade said, revealing he was already charging up his shooting finisher, and pulled the trigger. The Dimension Blast flew through the air and went right through Ikadevil.
"Gwah! You...how are you this strong?!" Ikadevil gasped.
"Next time don't waste time monologuing," Decade snorted.
"For the illustrious Dai-Shocker...Banzai!" Ikadevil shouted, before exploding.
Night Spider was silent for a few moments after that "... All of them are going to say something like that… aren't they?"
"Yes… yes they are." Decade said with a sigh.
"...want to see if there are any villains left that we should stop them from capturing?" Night Spider asked after a moment.
"Probably our best move yeah," Decade nodded, as they soon went deeper. By then, various other heroes and SHIELD personnel had arrived, and were busy capturing any escapees that had gotten out of the prison, and generally keeping things contained, because honestly, there was no signs that this was anything but a normal break out.
Eventually when they got deeper, they were met with a sudden shout, and moved aside to avoid something flying at them. When they saw who it was, well… "...isn't that Batroc?" Decade blinked as he looked at the man who had clearly gotten his suit back (why did they keep that in the prison in the first place?) wearing the purple and yellow getup he was known for.
"Zut alors! Zis day is juste terrible!" the man said in the most stereotypical french accent ever.
"Yeesh, the comic didn't do it justice," Decade muttered under his breath, while Night Spider was responding to Batroc.
"What are you doing here? That monster said they were rounding up the villains in this prison," Night Spider asked.
"Zey rejected me! Zey said I waz useless and only wanted villains with imprezzive powerz. Zey even accepted Azbestoz Lady!" Batroc said, actually crying.
"Wow… that's gotta fucking hurt when Asbestos Lady is picked over you." Decade said with a blink.
"Though should this actually be a good thing? That monster DID say they wanted to turn the villains into cyborgs for their own use," Night Spider mused.
Batroc blinked, actually stopping his crying "Le Calamar said that? He never mentionned that everyone would become les cyborges."
"Oh my god his accent is actually hurting me right now." Decade muttered in annoyance. "Look, whatever Ikadevil told you, don't expect Dai-Shocker to intend to do anything to you that ISN'T in some way going to put you under their thumb, so yeah, I GET it hurts to be considered useless, but in this case, it's a blessing in disguise. You do NOT want to go through the body horror that is Dai-Shocker's Cyborg operation."
Batroc's face twisted in disgust "I see… well… even we frenchmen have standards."
"Is that why you're all cowards?" Decade said under his breath, before ducking under a leaping Batroc who was shouting "Vive la France!"
"...think we should stop him?" Night Spider mused, noting that Batroc was going for the exit.
"...how big a threat is he REALLY?" Decade countered flatly.
"...good point." Night Spider admitted… but then he shot webbing at Batroc, trapping his legs together and making the man fall face first into the concrete "Dad would ground me if I actually let him get away though."
"Fair point." Decade conceded. The two soon moved deeper into the prison, reaching the area where they kept the most dangerous of villains locked away. What they found...wasn't very good at all. "They're all...gone…" Decade gulped, seeing the many empty cells, before he turned to Night Spider "Who was locked up here?"
"Well…" Night Spider trailed off nervously "The Sinister Six for starters… Green Goblin… any of Mr. Stark's enemies really, Red Skull… Doctor Doom after his latest taking over the world scheme…" Night Spider trailed off, his eyes widening behind his mask when he saw a door at the end of the corridor "Oh no…" he whispered in horror.
Decade looked in the same direction, confused as to what was bad about who that prisoner was… until he checked, and saw the red, vein like masses covering the walls "... Carnage is loose."
"...and he's now in the hands of a group bent on not just world, but multiversal domination…" Night Spider gulped thickly. "On a scale of 1 to 10, how bad might this be?"
"Eh...depends," Decade sighed. "If they turn him into a Cyborg...9 or 10. If they decide to turn him into a Shocker Rider...15 maybe?"
The sound that came out of Night Spider's mouth could best be described as 'we're all fucked and going to die and I don't want to die please god help me'.
Decade let the kid have his moment of panic, waiting for him to calm down before he said anything. Eventually…
"Okay... okay… I'm… sorta good. So this is bad. VERY bad… but you've got a plan, right?" Night Spider asked.
Decade looked at him for a long moment, before he said "... I'll think of something."
"We're all doomed." was Night Spider's response in the most dead tone possible.
"This was a complete disaster," Fury stated simply, though anyone listening could tell he was boiling on the inside.
"So, these guys took off with pretty much 70% of the villain population that we know of, and their going to upgrade them and use them to attack the entire Multiverse… yeah, I think you meant Apocalypse there Nicky." Tony said after taking off his helmet.
"For once Stark's exaggerations are accurate, this is very much like an end of the world scenario." Captain America sighed.
"I'm just glad they didn't grab Galactus personally, we'd be even more fucked." Hawkeye said.
"Yeah, even the big guy doesn't like his odds against the world eater." Bruce Banner said, before wincing, probably from Hulk getting pissed at him saying something that he shouldn't.
"To be fair...I don't think Dai-Shocker actually can handle something to the level of Galactus...I hope…" Andrew said lamely.
"That's a small relief I guess," Wasp sighed. "But we still need to do something about those villains that escaped."
"How about I round them up for you?" Andrew suggested. "I mean...I'll have to deal with them eventually on my journey."
"Are you going to keep them in your house and bring them back one at a time?" Peter asked, honestly curious, his mask off at the moment (everyone in the room knew his identity so he didn't really care).
"Actually I was going to ask if you have teleporters or something I could slap on them that would send them straight into a jail cell on a higher security prison… because I don't buy that the Raft was the highest security you guys have." Andrew directed that last part at Fury.
Fury met his gaze and held it for a moment...before sighing. "You'd be correct, there IS somewhere more secure, but that's all you're getting out of me," he said, before turning to Tony. "As much as I hate to leave things in his hands just like that, this is our best bet, so can you provide him with the teleporter?"
Tony thought about it. "Give me three weeks, no, days, and I'll get what you need."
"Can you make a communicator for our house too?" Alicia spoke up. "I figured you'd all like to be able to communicate with us while we go."
"Make that a week then," Tony chuckled. "Though on one condition."
"Hm?" Andrew and Alicia blinked.
"I install a camera function too, I think we're all interested in seeing what these other worlds look like," Tony chuckled.
"That camera better be on the outside of my house because I don't want anybody playing the peeping tom." Andrew said darkly.
"I was going to make it removable from the communicator so you could actually carry it with you," Tony said simply. "And of course. Aside from beating the purpose of having a camera, I've got standards."
Andrew looked at him for a moment, before nodding "This is why I like you Stark, you're honest."
"Um… one thing to mention we haven't yet though… I saw Deadpool over at the raft… he pulled a letter out of thin air and kind of just hurt somebody with it." Michael said, still confused about that.
Andrew and Peter both stared at him for a moment, before looking at each other and groaning "Oh god dammit…"
"Am I going to hate this?" Fury asked with a sigh.
"Depends on if you hate admitting that Wade wasn't all THAT crazy and his thing about comic books or whatever was the truth." Peter said tiredly.
"The fact that what I'm saying is possibly written in a book somewhere out there in the multiverse fills me with so much rage that it's gone from boiling magma back to the fucking ice age." Andrew muttered.
"Just pray that's a comic book and not a worse medium," Alicia sighed. "At any rate, everyone agrees what we have to do, so get ready, cause we're gonna be busy." At that, everyone nodded in agreement.
Meanwhile, on one of the buildings in the city…
"So you have begun your journey," Narutaki frowned. "Make no mistake, I will not let you do as you please, Decade. I will stop you this time!" he declared as he vanished through a Dimension Vale. As he did, he never noticed a certain merc with a mouth pop up, before turning to the screen and pointing at the vale with a wink.
Oh yeah... this one is packed with what we wanted since the first day in Marvel.
So, yeah, we got our Stan Lee reference, Rest in Peace.
We got everybody's favorite idiot, and I'm using the best method to keep from hijacking the author's note, *Waves around sexy pictures of Lady Death and throws them out the window* bribery. *a red gloved hand snatches them up VERY quickly*
We also give you all Michael's background, because you really needed that one to stop being confused, yes he's an OC, and he's literally a character concept I've had for several years.
And you also now know WHY we stopped in Marvel first.
Yeah, we're going pretty unique on this one, so strap yourselves in boys and girls, it's gonna be a wild ride.
