Well, we got some concerning news. The future of Spider-Man in the MCU is questionable due to negotiations between Disney and Sony falling through. I've read both sides, and I'm starting to see Sony's point. Well, if things don't work out, then all Disney needs to do is buy Sony.
Also I'm not sure if I should do this or not, but it's not anything bad. I was thinking of making a timeline for Super-Avengers. One that would have my own version of what's been happening. The only problem, I don't know how to start it. I watched a couple of videos of the history of the MCU and Arrowverse.
I'm not sure if I should go for a full on list of events from the dawn of time to lets say... my version of Crisis on Infinite Earths. (Yes I'm planning on doing that, but it's a long ways.) Or just list out all the stories I have so far, and what I plan for in the future in chronological order based on the timeline.
What do you all think?
Also D23, which is something like a Disney version of Comic Con had ended. They had revealed some cool stuff for Marvel, which would include new TV series that center on: Ms Marvel, She-Hulk and Moon Knight. Also about the TV shows they have already confirmed.
I'm actually thinking of getting Disney + when it comes out. Are any of you thinking of it too?
I own none of the content, and I hope you all enjoy.
Attack on Gorilla City (3)
Peter found himself waking up again, and woke to see that he had his mask off again, and Caitlin looking at him in concern. And he also noticed an unconscious Harry was with them as well.
Peter smirked and said," I wouldn't have minded if you kissed me."
Caitlin blushed, and looked away and said," I didn't."
'If Frost thought that, I'm pretty sure she would be jealous… then again, it would be fun to push her buttons.' Caitlin mischievously thought.
"What happened?" Barry asked, as he started to get up.
"Congratulations. You both won. And also seriously, a Gorilla Army?" Cisco said the last part to Peter.
Peter shrugged and said," What? That didn't sound cool to you?"
Cisco shrugged in acceptance, seeing how cool that sounded, and the possibilities as well.
"How's Wells?" Barry asked.
"Still catatonic." Caitlin said.
The moment after she said that, Harry soon got up, but from the looks of it, he was still being controlled by Grodd.
"Flash." Grodd said.
"We won. Solovar promised to let us go." Barry said.
"No."
"No? What do you mean… I don't understand."
"Solovar's words mean nothing now."
Julian realized what was really happening and said," You never had any intentions of letting us go, did you?"
Peter groaned and said," Great, we basically did the bad guys work for him."
"I told you I needed you. I could not defeat Solovar in combat, but you and your friend could. You did, and now I am the ruler of Gorilla City, and all the gorillas will follow me."
"Solovar never wanted to attack Central City. You do." Barry realized as well.
"You took my home away from me, and now I will take it back!" Grodd angrily said. "The gorillas saw what you and your friend did, Flash. They saw you defeat Solovar, and now they are afraid of humans, and will do anything I order, and I will order them to invade your Earth, and your city will burn."
"You were planning this the whole time."
"Yes. Father taught me well. Always think ahead. And I had plenty of time to think in cages built by you and then by Solovar."
"I take it you have some other reason for keeping us alive? I mean, we did your dirty work, and you rule the other Gorillas now, you could've just killed us already." Peter said.
"Still need you."
"I'm not doing anything for you." Barry firmly said.
"The same for me." Peter said.
"Not you, Flash, and neither you, Spider-Man. You." Grodd said and pointed at Cisco.
"Me?" Cisco said in slight confusion, even though he was starting to get the idea of why.
"You will open the breach to First Earth. My army will cross that breach, and all the humans in Central City will burn before Gorilla Kind!"
"Dude, I know we just met, but I know your very smart, heck even smarter than all of us. You can clearly see this is so not the right thing to do. Intelligence and violence are different. And going to war is not a smart move." Peter said.
"You should know this by now, Spider-Man. I am an animal. I am a gorilla. Kill or be killed!" Grodd countered.
"I'm gonna get out of this cell, and I am gonna stop you." Barry promised.
Harry's body then collapsed. Grodd then walked down a staircase, and stood in front of them and said.
"No, you won't. You will die." He said.
Peter and he knew everyone else was doing it, glared at him.
But one things for sure they were going to get out of this. And they wouldn't allow Grodd and his army invade Earth-1 and destroy Central City either.
Peter sighed as he went back to thinking to getting out again. Although it led to the same ending, but it didn't hurt to think through and see if anything can be different. Peter looked at Barry, who was trying to phase again, Julian and Cisco looked to be thinking or moping. Caitlin was standing, and thinking as well. He then noticed movement on the ground, and considering he wasn't getting up like the last couple of time, Harry was probably out of Grodd's control now.
"Sleeping Beauty's finally awake." Peter quipped.
Harry started to look around and saw Caitlin.
"Snow?"
"You okay?" She asked relieved.
"I have a headache, I guess." He mumbled.
"Well, being under the control of a Telepathic Gorilla will do that to." Peter said.
Wells didn't seem to hear what he said, due to smelling himself and then realized," I… is that me? I smell. Wait, Jesse, my daughter. Where's-"
"She's on Earth 1. She's totally fine." Caitlin reassured as Harry got up.
He then saw the others.
"Barry. Cisco. You all came for me?" He asked in slight disbelief.
"A city of evil genius apes. Sounded like fun." Cisco quipped.
"Even though I have a slight fear of Planet of the Apes. Even I came. You don't know, I'm Peter Parker from Earth-38. I know, there's an entire explanation behind that."
Harry looked slightly surprised at seeing him and said," Yeah… thanks, Parker. With that outfit you're wearing, you don't happen to have the powers of a spider, do you?"
Peter nodded and said, "I do… is there a version of me on this Earth?"
Harry looked like he was going to say something, but stopped himself and said," Yeah, it's a long story. But we have to focus on getting out of here."
Peter was starting to have a bad feeling. Just like Jesse, Harry seemed to be hiding something. He didn't know what, but it looked like it had something to do with him. He wasn't sure if he was dead, which was something he couldn't comprehend, or if he was evil.
Ah crumbs… Cisco did say this Earth had some evil versions of people from Earth-1, so it stood to reason that he was probably evil on this Earth.
"Well, I still can't phase through the bars. But we have to find way, and then stop Grodd." Barry said.
Julian disagreed by saying, "You keep saying that, but what if we can't get out? What if we're stuck here? What if this is the way-"
"Well, we can't think like that. While there's life, there's hope." Barry countered.
"And if there isn't life?" Cisco said in a resigned tone.
"What is that supposed to mean?" Barry asked.
"Grodd needs me to open the breach so he can attack Earth-1."
Peter realized what he was suggesting and said," Dude, your not suggesting what I think you are right? I mean, that's not an option."
Barry looked between Peter and Cisco and said," What, what is he suggesting?"
Peter sent a glare to Cisco and said," He's suggesting what if he wasn't alive to open a breach for him. Again, that's not happening."
"Look, this is something we have to consider. Right now, I can't think of any other way to stop them. They'd have no other way of getting to Central City." Cisco explained.
"He's right. Cisco's death would change the newspaper headline in the future." Julian said.
"Headline?" Harry asked.
"It's a long story." Caitlin said.
"But it would also make another one come true, the one about Killer Frost." Julian said.
Caitlin gave him and Cisco a surprised and incredulous look and said," You want me to kill you?"
"Think about it. Grodd doesn't know you have cold powers. You might be able to use them." Cisco explained.
"Cold powers? She… you have cold powers?" Harry asked, and Caitlin gave him a slight nod.
"I knew it. I knew that you and I did not get Barry out of that mirror." Harry said to Barry in realization.
Peter knew there was an interesting story behind that. but he knew it wasn't the time. But he did know what everyone was talking, and suggesting, wasn't going to happen. Nor how he couldn't believe they were suggesting this in the first place.
But before he could, Julian beat him to it.
"Wait now. Caitlin. If you kill someone, there's no going back. You'll be Killer Frost for the rest of your life. Now, I did not come all this way to see that happen."
Caitlin blinked, realizing what he meant and said," Did you come here because you 'live for danger' or to protect me?"
Julian didn't look he was going to apologize and said," I just don't want to see you become something you're not."
Peter crossed his arms and said," So, what? You think what my Caitlin is doing isn't good enough? Or isn't going to work? Jeez, talk about having no faith."
"I'm not saying that. Yes, I wanted to come along because come on, going to another Universe has to be on one's bucket list. But to also watch out for her, and yes, I know you can handle yourself, but the alternative isn't good."
Peter sighed and said," Dude, believe me I know. I mean, you missed how Frost basically kept on badgering me about watching out for her."
"Ok, I know this is very interesting conversation, and I will have a talk with the both of you later." Caitlin said, and gave the both of them looks. "But Cisco, I'm not gonna kill you, and neither is anyone else, okay? So let's come up with the next best plan that doesn't involve murdering one of our friends."
"No Cisco's right. It's the only way. One of us has to die." Barry said.
Peter would've questioned why he would say that, but he then realized something and said," Don't tell me, you have a plan. One that is both stupid, and smart at the same time?"
Barry nodded, even though he was questioning himself on the inside and said," Yeah, pretty much. Basically I need Caitlin to make my face blue, and I'll slow my heart rate to the point that it looks like I died. And I need one of you to call out for help once I play dead."
Peter nodded, looked at Caitlin and said," Think you can do it?"
Caitlin nodded and said," Yeah, I've done it with Frost by my side. I think you'll work too."
"Before we start this, who's this Frost?" Harry asked.
"Caitlin Frost of Earth-38, the same Earth I'm from. She has cold powers to, but she's a good guy. Also goes by Killer Frost." Peter quickly explained.
Harry blinked and said," Huh."
A few minutes later, Barry, with a blue face, played dead, while everyone else waited for Grodd to check on them. Peter had placed a hand on Caitlin's shoulder when she was using her powers. Just to give her some peace of mind. Killer Frost didn't come out, which was good, and Peter was impressed with her control. Once Barry's face was as a blue as the girls face from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. He made his heart rate beat slow, and laid on the ground, playing dead.
"Someone help!" Peter called.
It took a moment, the sound of footsteps was heard, and Grodd soon came into the room, and looked at what was happening.
Caitlin used her best saddened look and said shakingly," He started coughing… violently. And then he clutched his side and keeled over. The injury… it must have ruptured one of his kidneys. He went into shock. His heart stopped, and I couldn't resuscitate him.
Peter who was pretending to look lost, and was sitting in the corner mumbled loudly," I should've been me. Damn it."
Grodd opened the cell, and checked Barry pulse.
"Cold." He concluded.
"He's dead." Caitlin said with fake sob.
"He was of no use to me anyway." Grodd said without a care, and started to drag Barry's body out, and placed him on side with a pile of bones…
Peter realized he didn't see that before, and gulped. The bones looked human sized, and he wondered how many poor souls had been in this very room like themselves.
Grodd then left the room, and as soon as he was far enough away, they all sighed in relief.
"He's gone, Barry. Grodd is gone." Harry said.
"Yeah, so you can stop looking like that girl from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory." Peter added.
Caitlin snorted in amusement, and Peter grinned. It was nice that this Caitlin had the same sense of humor as his Caitlin.
Barry then started to vibrate, and it took a moment for him to get his body temperature up. Once he did, he gasped, and started to get up.
"Yo, it worked!" Cisco said.
"Shh! Dude, so not the time. I should web your mouth shut, just in case." Peter threatened.
Caitlin giggled again and said," That would be an improvement."
Cisco sent both of them a glare, and then said," Yeah, but it worked."
"Allen, you all aright, mate?" Julian asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, I'm good."
"I didn't freeze you too bad did I?" Caitlin asked.
"Well, I think he'll be fine. Also good work, Miss Snow. You could graduate very soon with that attitude, and your acting." Peter praised.
Caitlin blushed again and said," Thanks."
'I can definitely see why Frost likes him. He's funny, and supportive.' Caitlin thought.
Barry fully got up, and went to open the cages. Once he did, Peter fired a web at handle so he wouldn't have to hold it. And they all walked out. Once they were far enough, Barry sped them out of the city, and into the outskirts of it.
"Ok, we far enough out that you should be able to use your powers." Barry told Cisco.
"And quickly, before they realize we're gone." Peter added.
No sooner that he said, distant roars were heard.
"It's too late for that. Open a breach, mate." Julian said.
Cisco held out his hand, and opened one and said," time to warp out of this madhouse."
All of them rain into the portal as fast as they could, and Cisco followed once everyone went through.
Back on Earth-1, everyone was waiting in the Cortex for any sign. Frost was becoming increasingly worried, and KF reassured her that everything was alright. It didn't surprise her, KF rarely was serious about things, but she cared for Frost, and she took that seriously.
HR suggested playing a game of Charades, and Frost was tempted to play that to take her mind off worrying.
She then heard beeping from the monitor. She thought it was another crime happening, but then realized the alarm was for when the team returned. She smiled, and ran out of the room after Jesse, who had realized it as well, and everyone else soon followed. Frost let out a sigh of relief when she saw Peter and the others. Jesse was already hugging her dad, and she followed by running to her friend, and enveloped him in a hug.
Peter was surprised, but then hugged her back.
"Don't scare me like that again, Parker." She said into his chest.
Peter looked at her and said," I'll try not to. And I'm sorry."
"Word of advice: Don't volunteer for these things. Nothing ever tries to rip you limb from limb." Cisco said to the others.
"Especially if it involves fighting a Gladiator style match against an evolved Gorilla. It was scary and pretty cool at the same time." Peter added.
"I'm fine. I'm so fine, thanks… thanks to our friends, our good friends." Harry thanked, and then saw Frost with Peter.
"Huh, you weren't kidding about another Snow."
Frost waved and said," Hi, I'm Caitlin Frost actually. It's nice to meet you as well. And your welcome for the save."
Harry was about to reply by HR beat him to it.
"Wow, I-I think... I just forgot how handsome you were." He commented.
"Oh, I forgot. He's—you're still here." Harry said, and he sounded less than thrilled.
"Yeah. Still here."
"I guess we have your tactical and technical genius to thank for getting us out of that fix." Harry said.
"Actually, he didn't. No offense to HR. But what I gathered from the both of you. You're smarter, and he's smart in his own way, just not smart in the same field." Peter said.
"Thank you, Mr. Parker, that means a lot." HR sincerely said.
"Then why is he still here?" Harry asked.
"Because we couldn't do it without him. Like Peter said, he's smart in his own way." Cisco said.
HR bowed slightly and said," I thank you as well, Francisco."
Peter lightly snorted at the flabbergasted look Harry was giving him. Something told him things would be interesting with these versions here, just like with Caitlin and Frost.
"So, what actually happened? Did you guys actually have a Gladiator fight with super smart apes like Peter said?" Wally asked.
"Yeah. Yeah, we did. Well, Peter and Barry did. And they were smart, but today, at least, we were a bit smarter."
Peter grinned along with Barry. He was about leave to get some relaxing done after what had happened, with Frost behind him.
Iris stopped him, smirked and said," Don't let her go, k?"
Peter was confused, but nodded, and walked out of the room. He didn't notice Frost was slightly pink.
But she then walked back in, looked at Barry, grinned, and said," She's a keeper, don't let her go." She said and walked out of the room.
Barry looked confused like Peter, and asked Iris," What was that about?"
Iris looked like she knew something, but merely grinned and said," Nothing, let's go home."
Later, Peter was in Caitlin's apartment, and he was sitting down with the TV on, and a box of pizza on the table. While Frost was opening a wine bottle.
"I find it great that Earth-1 has Domino's. Sad that they don't have Pizza Hut or Mountain Mikes, but still good." Peter said as he took a slice.
Frost rolled her eyes humorously and said, "Yep, this Earth would be nothing without pizza. And I gotta say, that is one crazy adventure you guys had on Earth-2."
Peter pointed at her, and said in fake serious tone, "Hey, Pizza is life, Miss Frost. But yeah, I mean, we fought aliens, but heading to another Earth to fight intelligent Gorillas seems crazier." Peter said.
Frost snorted and said," That just shows how crazy our lives have gotten. But it is nice we have moments of normalcy like this."
She then brought the bottle, and two glasses, and sat next to him on the couch.
"Yeah, so Caitlin said she didn't mind me hanging out here?"
"No, she doesn't mind. If your wondering where she is now, she is currently having dinner with Julian right now."
Peter raised a surprised brow and said," Didn't know they were a thing."
"Their not, but I have a feeling they might be soon. I find them cute."
Peter hummed, and then had a thinking look.
"What's wrong?" Frost asked.
"Just thinking about if we changed the future. I mean, I know the future isn't set in stone, but I'm still sorta worried."
"Well, we can't focus on that right now. All we have to do is focus on the present. Besides, us hanging out right now is supposed to help us relax, and not think about any hero stuff right now. So I suggest you just relax, Parker." She said in a fake serious tone.
Peter held his hands in mock surrender and said," All right, no need to threaten me. I dare to feel the wrath of Caitlin Frost, and possibly Michelle Watson in the future."
Frost smirked and said," Yep, me and MJ are force to be reckoned with. We did scare you and Harry good sometimes."
Peter would've told her that wasn't true, but it was. Harry would deny it, but it was the truth.
The spent the rest of the night, or hour watching TV. Frost got an idea as she sat close to Peter. She would blame Caitlin... herself or whatever and Iris for thinking of the idea. She had started to scoot closer to Peter, they weren't far apart, they were in touching distance. But she moved a little closer, and willed herself to do what she was about to do.
She leaned, and laid on Peter's side, and snuggled a little. They had done this before, like when one of them was sad, and needed a shoulder to lean on. Peter seemed to tense up for a moment, and then relaxed, and moved a little bit to make her comfortable. They didn't say anything, but they continued on to watch TV and eat, while also making small conversation.
An hour or two later, Caitlin returned from Dinner, and as soon as she closed and locked the door, she turned around, and saw a very cute scene. Peter and Frost were on the couch asleep, with Frost laying on Peter's side, and he had his arm around her. And they both had serene looks on their faces.
Caitlin grinned, she was so going to tell Iris about this. And hopefully Bette the next time she was going to call her.
But first things first, she needed to shower, and get some sleep. After she turned off the TV, and some the lights without waking up the two people on the couch.
And she was so going to tease Frost in the morning.
