Answers to reviewers' questions or statements
DannyPhantom619: Eh I'm willing to try and be half as good. Will it work? Hell to the no. Should I still try at least? Probably not but I've started, best I can do is keep going and hope for the best.
treyalexander63917: A few DC and Marvel characters that I like, both hero and villain. Most of them will be alternate versions of their mainstream counterparts.
Dusty Anderson: I'm sort of taking a break with that story. I'll update it as we get closer to Thor Ragnarok release date.
Marveldcfan: She's similar to the Shield A.I. from that game. I figured that if Peter ever did make an A.I. he'd make it like that just for laughs.
90skid4life: I've narrowed down the Wonder Woman to either Flashpoint, Injustice or her Earrth-32 version which is the universe where events like Kingdom Come happened. It's a good story by the way, one of the best DC has ever made, I highly recommend it.
Ben Dover: I may add her but it'll be a while until I get to the possibility of introducing more women.
Spawn Hades: I was, it was just Peter's nearly human contact depraved mind wandering again. That's going to happen a lot with him when his mind will start to wander into some rather interesting places.
lelouch22: Yeah, some of the changes he's made to the Iron Spider suit will be shown soon.
Cosmicspiderking: I may add some of those, but it'll be a while until I get around to adding any more women.
Guest: Yeah Emma can be a real bitch sometimes. A hot and very compelling one though.
JC: I will, the story isn't very compelling if like in the same chapter Peter meets one of the girls and then sleeps with her. Give the two a little development before going that far, maybe a near death experience or two. As for the women feel like their being cheated on, eh not so much that as they'll feel I don't know jealous that his attention isn't on them at the time. They're not needy but it's more of a manner of pride if anything. I may add Vixen or Strom later on.
Guest: Jessica Drew is her 616 mainstream version. I may add them later on.
cornholio4: Pretty similar but being alone for over five years has done some rather interesting things to his psyche. Some women will be alternate versions of themselves.
Cyclopz: It'll be a long ways off until we get to dealing with Doom and even with the Phoenix Force, Doom has the power of all of the Beyonders, not just one which is powerful enough on it's own. Yeah I'll take a few suggestions on realms he can visit, it'll be a while until he gets out of his little realm but once he does I'm going to have him go through a couple.
justafan: We'll be getting an idea of what Emma has been doing the past five years, same as everyone else and hate to say it, it wasn't pretty as you'll see. Also Peter wasn't the only hero that was separated from the rest and put into isolation. We'll be seeing who else later on.
SuperHappySpider: Yeah I have in the past, one of which was a Spider-man Wonder Woman and Fallout crossover.

Emma let out a moan of content as she stood inside one of the many luxury showers that were scattered throughout the Avengers Tower, or Spider Tower as Peter has been insisting she call it after arriving a few hours ago.
The last thought caused the blonde beauty to roll her eyes as she ran her hands through her hair "If he thinks I'm calling it that, then it'll be a cold day in every hellish realm on this world long before I even consider it"
"Miss Frost are you done with your shower? You've been in here for the better part of an hour" the electronic voice of Peter's A.I. Karen echoed through the steam filled room.
"Yes Karen, if only so you'll stop pestering me" Emma said as she shut off the faucet and telekinetically called of a towel and wrapped it around her figure.
"I apologize miss Frost but there's only so much hot water left in this tower at the moment and I'd rather not have to deal with a foul-smelling Spider-man" Karen replied dryly.
"How could you, you're an A.I." Emma said as she looked up towards the celling with a frown "You can't smell"
"It's the principal of the matter" Karen replied as Emma entered her room which was rather sparse given that no one's lived in it for who knows how long. She couldn't even get an empathetic impression from the space because it's been unoccupied for so long, possibly longer than Peter knows.
'At least it's clean' Emma thought as she let the towel slip from her body as she walked over towards the closet and opened it to reveal that it was mostly empty aside from a large machine resting on the ground with a small holographic touch screen on it and the words STARK on the side with a small serial number.
Emma quirked a brow at this as she carefully placed her hand on the screen and let it scan her before it suddenly opened and an electronic voice spoke.
"Stark Fabricator online"
"Interesting…" Emma murmured as she saw the screen widen to show a host of options for clothing material ranging from silk and cotton to polyester along with dozens of clothing designs and choices.
She entered a few commands and selected a color, white obviously, and waited a few seconds as the machine glowed, whined and beep before a medium size hatch opened with steam pouring out of it as her clothes were slowly lifted into the air by small anti-gravity thrusters. Emma rolled her eyes at the display as she took her garments and began to place them on
After a few moments, she glanced at a nearby mirror and examined her figure with a critical eye before she nodded in satisfactory before she turned and left her room to find Peter so she can update him on what's been going on with everyone these past five years.
It was a conversation she was not looking forward to, mainly because of the numerous questions he'll have and the amount of comments he'll also have.
'If Logan can put up with him for so long and not snap, then I should be able to easily…' Emma thought as she sensed Peter was in what constituted as the Tower's main living room.
…
Peter let out a yawn as he laid back in a small recliner in the center of the Tower's largest and most stocked living room before a massive flat screen T.V. with perhaps the best surround sound hook up he's ever seen with a multitude of gaming consoles before it in small shelves that sunk into the ground when not in use.
'Really have to give it to Stark, he'd make one helluva a home theater designer if being a billionaire playboy hero doesn't end well for him' Peter thought as he settled into his chair and was just about to fall asleep when he heard Emma's voice.
"Shall I come back after you've had your little nap or can I assume you can hear me as you drool into the arm rest mister Parker?"
Peter jumped slightly before he looked over at Emma and felt himself blush as he took in her attire. He remembers that Emma has always been one for rather provocative clothing that half the time bordered on indecent but he forgot just how scandalous it could be in person.
She was cladded in a sort of white mesh crop top that was just translucent enough for Peter to see she wasn't wearing a bra over her ample breasts, a very short white skirt with a slit on both sides that allowed greater movement for her long legs with a pair of knee high white heeled boots.
Emma quirked a brow at Peter as she placed a hand on her hip "Are you going to stare all day or would you like to hear what's been going on these past years with everyone while you've been in isolation?"
"Can't I do both?" Peter asked, a few years ago he's never ask such a thing, at least vocally but hey after spending five years along with the only company being a A.I., dinosaurs and a host of other animals and hybrids of the animal kingdom, he's not going to let this moment go to waste.
'Besides, she always dresses like that, so I doubt she gives a damn of me staring at her' Peter thought as he gestured for Emma to continue.
The blonde seemed to have heard his thoughts which caused her to roll her eyes as she made her way towards a nearby chair, a obvious sway in her hips before she sat down and crossed her legs at the knee.
"Hmm where to begin, I suppose it all started right after our earth and the other earth collided during what was apparently the final incursion, courtesy of the Beyonders" Emma said as she leaned back in the chair "When we came to, me, the X-men, the Avengers and the people from the other earth all woke up in some sort of large empty chamber… but we weren't alone"
"What do you mean?" Peter asked with a frown.
"As it turns out, the Beyonders were doing more than just wiping out our Multiverse, they were also wiping out another in a similar fashion only it seems they were having better luck since that one didn't have as many cosmic gods for them to wipe out first and their multiverse had only 52 universes" Emma said with a shrug as she examined her nails and made a note to pain them afterwards "Apparently these people call themselves the Justice League, the Justice Society and several other groups that I can't be bothered to mention"
"Justice League?" Peter said with a raised brow "Huh… so what's their battle cry? Justice League unify or-"
"They don't have one far as I can see, now hush so I can continue" Emma said with a mild glare of annoyance.
"Yes ma'am" Peter said with a defeated sigh.
Emma nodded at this "Good boy, now as I was explaining, not long after we discovered this little bit of intel, Doom appeared to inform us that he had succeeded in stopping the Beyonders from destroying everything to an extent and we were now all living on one super massive world that he had constructed to house all of the worlds from both of our respective universes that he was able to save before everything came crashing down and faded into oblivion"
"Super massive world, how big is this place?" Peter asked with caution. If the desert he was in was the size of a solar system almost, it had to be massive.
Emma stared at Peter blankly for several long moments before she answered.
"It's the size of a galaxy"
"…"
"…"
"…Oh…" Peter said with wide eyes, that was… that was pretty freakin big and made this place seem even smaller.
"That's it?" Emma asked with some confusion "Just 'oh'. No 'That's crazy' or stupefied awe?"
"In this line of work after this many years, is there really anything that can take people like us by surprise anymore?" Peter asked with a snort of humor.
Emma thought it over for a moment before she conceded "Fair point, though this Justice League seemed to be shocked that such a construct of that magnitude could exists, particularly the one that calls himself the Flash… he kept going on how it was impossible and that this planet would collapse in on itself if that were true"
"Heh, wait till he meet's Galactus and half of his super mega warship armada" Peter joked.
"He did" Emma said with a frown "As it so happens, Doom or God Doom as he's asked us to refer him as such and has-"
"You think someone had a religion created for him?" Peter asked suddenly with a raised hand, as if he were a child and she an incredibly hot teacher that he'd kill to have when he was in school still, both as a student and a teacher "I mean if they did, what would you call it?"
"Peter…" Emma said with a sigh of annoyance.
"I mean would it be Doomilism, Doomology… Doomanity?" Peter asked with a thoughtful expression while he cupped his chin.
"Peter…" Emma said, her voice growing more annoyed.
"I mean, what would Sunday service for that religion be like if they have it on a Sunday? Lots of third person speaking and how his battles with the Fantastic Four are biblical or something?" Peter said as he scratched his head and thought it over some more, oblivious to Emma's growing irritation "Is there a Doom Christmas, Doom Easter… Doom Hanukkah?"
Emma's brow was twitching slightly at the man has he went one and on "Peter, I swear to god-"
Peter gasped in an overly dramatic tone as he raised a shaking finger towards her "Do not invoke Doom's name in vein heretic!" He then fell to his knees and held his hands as if her were praying "Oh lord Doom, she sorry, she didn't mean it, please have mercy oh great and powerful lord Doom!"
Emma stared blankly at Peter, fighting the urge to crush his mind with her's as he continued to go on and on about sparing her and that she'd convert to Doomanity. She was now being reminded just how much he can talk if given a chance.
"You know, I can just see it now. Begone foul demon in the name of Doom! Doom bless you! Praise be Doom! Ooh, ooh how about Doomdammit!"
"ENOUGH!" Emma shouted with enough force in her voice to cause Peter to flinch as his spider-sense went off in warning.
"…Sorry, it's been a while since I've had someone to talk to and annoy" Peter said with a nervous laugh thrown towards the beauty as he got back in his chair "Please continue to tell me how horrible things got after finding out Doom has made himself a god"
Emma stared at Peter for several long moments before she sighed and continued her story where she left off "As I was saying, Doom's either convinced or more likely enthralled Galactus of all beings to be a sort of Enforcer of his rule. His top lieutenant, his all-powerful attack dog, basically he sends him to deal with… inconveniences… that plague this world that he can't bother to fix himself"
"… Doom with Galactus at his command… that's just all kinds of 'Nope fuel'" Peter said as he rubbed his head at this "And let me guess, everyone found out about Galactus being Doom's enforcer when they first tried to attack him?"
"In a manner of speaking" Emma said as her cool expression was replaced with… sadness "Scott as you remembered had the Phoenix Force thanks to that Phoenix egg he found a while ago and used it to try and fight Doom and…"
A tenses silence followed this as the two sat there with the only sounds being a few parrots that landed by one of the opened panels in the wall to wall, floor to ceiling window a began to repeat words that they've heard at some point.
"Emma…" Peter said as he leaned forward with a worried look on his face "What happened?"
At this Emma chuckled darkly before giving Peter a bitter smile "What do you think happened darling… Doom killed him as if he were some weak meager human and not at the time one of the most powerful beings alive…"
Peter's eyes widened at this, while he and Scott never really got a long, and that whole incident with the Avengers, the X-men and Hope having sullied any good standing that was between the two men, Peter could always say that he was a sort of descent guy, most of the time… well his time displaced self was nicer to talk to. But still, to hear that Scott was killed by Doom, even when he had the Phoenix Force of all things backing him up…
'Damn…'
It was then that Peter heard a choked sound from Emma and saw that she as wiping a few tears away "Heh, it's been five years and here I am still broken up about it"
"I doubt anyone can get over watching a loved one die so soon… if ever" Peter said as he looked out the window to see it was nearing dusk.
"You would now better than most I presume" Emma said as she wiped a few of her tears away and began to recompose herself.
"Probably… definitely a lot more than Stark or Pym ever will" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his neck "So after…. I guess the others went for an all-out attack on Doom?"
"Correct. The Avengers, the X-men, the Justice League and Society… we threw everything we had at him and not once did he ever move or react. Even when Superman, one of the people from the Justice League, Hyperion, Thor and Blue Marvel hit him with everything they had" Emma said as memories of the battle surfaced in her mind, images of how completely outclassed they were against the malevolent monarch as he just stood there and watched them try and pose a threat "With just a wave of his hand, he froze us all in place and then he told us why he saved us and saved so many realities from both multiverses and possibly others…"
"Let me guess, he wants us to worship him as a god or something?" Peter asked with a dry look, leave it to Doom to gain a god complex, though from the sounds of it, he's sort of earned it at this point.
"Heh no… but he did hint he wouldn't mind. No, he saved us, and the so many others… because he could. Because he wanted Reed to know that it was him that saved so many" Emma said as she rubbed her brow in aggravation, with Doom it was always ego more often than not that drove the man "Afterwards he told us he'll be sending us to a number of these realms as he's called them which range from being the size of entire earths from another universe or just a city that he has scattered all over this world. His rules were pretty straightforward 'Keep the peace, don't start wars unless there is no other option and don't think of even trying to overthrow him" Emma said as she stood up and paced about the room with her arms folded under her bust.
"Then Galactus showed up and he had us all teleported to different realms. Thankfully most of them were bordering each other so getting back into contact with each other was easy for the most part. Some we went months before seeing them again. But some like the Hulks, Banner, Ross and Walters? We haven't seen them since, hell they weren't even with the assembled group when we first got here…"
Peter hummed at this "And I take it that the peace didn't last before something happened?"
"What gave it away?" Emma asked dryly.
"We're superheroes, when do good things ever last long?" Peter asked dejectedly.
"…Enough to make their loss even more unbearable" Emma said with a sigh as she turned towards Peter with a stern look "One of the rulers of another realm, an alternate version of Superman led what he called the One Earth Regime and has allied himself with several other likeminded realms, one of which had a sort of Russian Superman and formed a sort of alliance"
"Well that sounds… unpleasant" Peter said with a face.
"It was, So Steve, Ororo who's now leading the X-men, the Justice League and a few other realms, some of which had alternate versions of us living in them, banded together and formed our own collation to combat this new threat" Emma said as she ran a hand through her hair and her fingers trailed over a small scar she received during one of the battles when the Regime laid siege to her realm "The fighting lasted for months… a lot of people, some heroes and some villains that quickly chose sides between the two factions when the fighting started but mostly innocent people also inhabiting this world died"
"And I take it Galactus stepped in and put a stop to it?" Peter hazard a guess, he was starting to think, a small selfish part of him, that he got off lucky compared to the others 'Hopefully everyone's okay…'
"Yes… but he wasn't alone" Emma said with a disturbed look "He also had a legion of what are called Yellow Lanterns under his command. They use these rings that allow it's wearer to create hard light constructs that are powered by fear and the greater the fear you inspire, the more powerful you can become or so I'm told"
"And Galactus is terror personified. Hell, just the sight of him usually sends people flying in the other direction by the millions" Peter said.
When your called the devour of worlds and have hundreds if not hundreds of thousands of planets settling in your gullet and have servants that could level planets singlehandedly on their own, you tend to get a pretty intimidating rep pretty fast.
"The war ended in minutes. Few could stand the might of Galactus beforehand, but with him wielding a ring that gives him more power or at the very least, more ways to fight, along with a legion of others that can do similar things with several powered by the power Cosmic… it made the Serpent and his Worthy's attack on earth look like a fuckin joke!"
Peter felt his teeth rattle as the room shook from the unintentional psionic wave that Emma emitted as she paced before him, her hands abled into fists so tight that he half expected her nails to break the skin and draw blood. After a few minutes, Emma had finally calmed down and took a calming breath.
"Sorry, it's just-"
"No it's okay, I get it. Things went from bad to hell in a heartbeat" Peter said as he stood up and placed a hand on her shoulder "But at least the fighting stopped, right?"
"In a manner of speaking…" Emma said with a dejected look "The only reason Galactus and his new Heralds got involved in the first place was because the Regime had gained possession of the Ultimate Nullifier or a version of it"
"…Holy shit" Peter said with wide eyes.
The Ultimate Nullifier was one of if not arguably the most powerful weapon in the universe, or well at least his and Emma's. Even Galactus would back down if someone pulled it on him which has happened before.
"Yeah, thankfully the Regime had no idea how to use it but I suppose God Doom didn't want to risk it and so he sent Galactus to put a stop to the conflict and confiscate the weapon. Afterwards, God Doom forced both sides into a sort of tense cease fire. You could say they're in a cold war at the moment" Emma said.
"How long ago was this? Like a few months, weeks-"
"Peter… all of this happened in the first year and a half we arrived on this planet" Emma revealed with a serious tone "Tens of millions of people, two realms each the size of this one and an entire alternate team of X-men and the Defenders killed all in just eighteen months…"
"Oh my god…" Peter said with wide eyes before he saw something in Emma's eyes that caused his stomach to drop, it was pity "Emma… who else died in this war? Anyone we know from our universe?"
The blonde telepath was silent for a moment as she stared at Peter for several long moments before speaking in a low voice "Just one person far as I could tell… Franklin"
Peter stared at Emma in complete shock for what felt like hours, neither one saying anything "W-What…?"
Emma seemed to hesitate on revealing anymore details before she let out a small sigh and looked him dead in the eye "Franklin… Reed and Sue's son, he was killed in the first few months of the fighting by one of the Regimes newest and most brutal members…"
Peter stared at her for several moments as his mind raced at the knowledge that someone had killed Franklin, one of his biggest fans and his sort of pseudo nephew. The kid that always wanted to help and was always looking for an adventure to go on and always seemed to have a smile on his face. Peter isn't sure how long he stood there in stunned silence, half hoping that Emma would suddenly just give him a cruel smirk and say something along the lines of 'gotch's sucker' but she never did. The look in her eye was all too real for it to be some sick joke on her part.
Minutes of tense silence passed before he was suddenly holding both her shoulders and looked at her with a dark rage building within him "Who was it Emma? Who killed Franklin?"
The omega level telepath held Peter's gaze for a moment before she gave him the murderer's name.
"Norman Osborn"
…
And done.
Next chapter, Peter tries to come to terms with what Emma has revealed to him with Karen's somewhat support and scolding while Emma makes a rather interesting discovery in Peter's tower that possesses some rather impressive… firepower.
