Answers to reviewers' questions or statements

Jestalnaker94000: Han, but I do have a few jokes I mind that Peter will be making now that Doom is 'God' of this world.

treyalexander63917: They understand why the Fantastic Four, Sue specifically did what she did, but the fact they killed someone is a line that people like Batman and Flash will not cross or allow others to since Batman let's Joker still live and what not. I guess it'll be hard for them to understand a parent losing their child, sure Batman's lost Jason, Damian and even Dick but Bruce has never actually raised them from birth, been there for their first steps, their first words and all that. So, when his 'sons' die yeah it hurts him, but it wouldn't be to the same level as if he raised them since birth, stronger bond and all that. But yeah Peter's going to find moving through most DC realms a little hard.

Atdown: Doom has his reasons of why he separated Peter and gave him the Egg, it'll be a while until it becomes clear but there's a reason.

leoluch22: Yep, he's not up to Strange or Doom's level of magic but he can duke it out with quite a few sorcerers. It'll affect specific ones and even then, it's more of a gamble he's playing.

Darkiller3: I can safely say that one of those will happen.

DarkJoey: Well like Emma said, not the first time Norman's been assumed dead. Even Peter doesn't completely by it.

Batman1998: Kaine at this point is still sort of dead, Ben is alive and I have plans to introduce him later on. Yeah in a few chapters I'll be showing the viewpoints of the Marvel women he's going to get with and through them other heroes points of view on not just Peter's status of dead or alive, but a few others as well. This chapter and next we'll be seeing what Peter's been doing these past five years. Half of it was trying to escape and the other half was keeping himself busy or risk insanity.

Adtr509: Part of it is also because people are bound to be looking for Hulk Fanfiction and hey updating around then is bound to get it even more noticed, hopefully. Yes, yes I'm a attention seeking little shit and I love it! Most of the time…

Spawn Hades: Sure, go for it.

Musikman50: Yeah, the League is all about being better than it's villains and yet some of it's most prominent members have killed. Hell Superman sure as hell didn't hug Doomsday to sleep, he beat the guy to death. Batman straight up shot and mortally wounded Darkseid even though that's more justifiable and Wonder Woman broke a dude's neck! Least Marvel's heroes own up to what they did more often. But we will see that the entire Justice League wasn't on board for having Sue and the rest of the Four stand trial.

Darkspyder: It'll view Peter as a sort of parent which is both cute even though the slightest fit will be of apocalyptic proportions.

Stratos263: Given they've let the likes of Joker still live after the graveyards of children he's filled, yeah pretty much.

Marveldcfan: It's the 616 version but I have been toying with the idea of the 616 meeting the Ultimate version so she can say 'You screw your own brother? Gross, and here I thought I have problems'

Death Fury: Possibly, still deciding

90skid4life: Not at the moment no I have no plans for Peter to get with like two different versions of any of the women in his harem, be funny though if Peter's making out with one and the actual woman comes by and kicks his ass over it, or starts up a threesome.

MCRasengan: Yeah Black Bolt doesn't speak often but when he does, pray it's a whisper at the very least. Yeah but the Beyonders have by this point wiped out just about every other cosmic being that could pose a threat to Doom. Sure, the One Above All is still around in some form but he won't be appearing any time soon if ever. If he popped up, the story would be over in one maybe two chapters tops, that's no fun.

Bravo2000: Well he's used several different types of cosmic power and a weapon forged by the gods, figured that Magic was all that was left for him to experience.

Guest: More often than not the Justice League is considered more powerful is because it doesn't rotate it's roster nearly as much as the Avengers does, it's real powerhouses are almost always on the team where's Avengers who have had members that could tear through the League in seconds only crop up every once in a while for a big cosmic level event or something. How many incarnations these days of the Avengers have powerhouses like Thor, Starbrand, Hulk, Doctor Strange, Red Hulk, Alex Rider's Nova, Quasar, Hyperion, Blue Marvel and Scarlet Witch all on the same team? Not many since their spread over several teams or affiliated with someone else. It's partial why the X-men are arguably more powerful than the Avengers, they don't trade out powerhouses as often. Plus, some of the most powerful heroes in Marvel, some who trump anyone in the Justice League in power aren't even on any of the Avengers team. Ben Grimm the Thing is actually Franklin and Valeria's godfather but Peter is still considered family so if anything, an Uncle, but yeah Norman has hurt Peter on plenty of occasions and I bet the Fantastic Four wouldn't hesitate to kick the crap out of him if given the chance, Johnny wouldn't. Good and evil in DC comics seems more black and white then in Marvel, after all how many Avengers members were once mass murders, career criminals, assassins or even terrorists?

StelarToe6133: It's what inspired me to make New York the way it is in my story, that and just looking at images of New York City abandoned and overgrown.

JC: I have no real plans to do that since we'll be seeing what some women have and are going through when I switch over to their viewpoints.

LL: I think it was more he grew depressed being a God then seeing it as beneath him since he's always looking to gain that level of power. Nah, Franklin dying is something that Doom didn't anticipate, if anything he expected it to be Sue or even Ben to die in the conflict.

Erofox: It'll be a while for some of the Marvel women but the next one to show up will be She-Hulk. I may add Raven into the harem but it'll be a while until I get around to increasing the harem if I do go that route. It was alright I suppose but now I'm left wondering what the hell their going to do with Evil Cap and is Steve Rogers no longer Captain America now? Come on, it's half the reason people read Secret Empire, they wanted to see Steve take up the mantle again as THE Captain America. I mean I have nothing against Sam Wilson as Cap, I just think he's kinda boring is all.

shepardpatton: I won't say he'll become less strict but being so isolated for so long coupled with finding out his pseudo nephew was killed and being around so many women who are a bit on the darker side of things, it'll begin to affect his views and personality bit by bit.

Cosmicspiderking: He'll meet a few different incarnations of the Inhumans but he won't be catching Medusa or Crystal's attention by I do have plans for him to possibly catch Iso's.

Justafan: I think that stuff only works for anime, else people like Doom or Dr. strange would have tried something like that by now or even the Iron Fist who's probably the closest thing to an Anime hero in Marvel comics given his near unrivaled fighting ability and Chi manipulation. And even then, he hasn't been practicing magic too long, a year tops and while that does make him more powerful than normal, it's not up to Dr. Strange or Doom's level.

BusterBlue12: Doom's been around and is smart enough to know that Peter is a lot smarter than he lets on when, they were in the Future Foundation and worked with each other for a time. So, I say he views him with a mixture of annoyance, which is the same with everyone and some respect because of his intelligence. He was partly singled out because he's pretty much the only other Spider-man aside from Miles and Miguel alive on War World at the moment, the rest has to do with this sort of plan slash gamble that Doom is playing which involves Spider-man to a large degree.

hollowighigo12: There will be chapters, sometimes several in a row that'll feature just the women or some of them off doing their own thing, help give their characters more depth and development, not all of them are there because I want Peter to sleep with them, some actually will be contributing to the story. You aren't far in that Doom is preparing Peter for something, won't say what it is but he has plans for the Spider.

gunman: No he had the full power of the Phoenix at the time, the problem is that Doom had the power of all of the Beyonders, just one is powerful enough, but the entire race, he was able to overpower the Infinity Gauntlet with it. There are other heroes that Doom has isolated and given them something incredibly powerful, we won't know who or what for a while, but Spider-man isn't the only one, just arguably the most significant. As for why he didn't do this to the Fantastic Four, we'll see as time goes on. Emma only told what Peter needed to know, most of which that happened afterwards was more personal to her.

When Emma Frost walked into the tower's main kitchen area for breakfast the next morning clad in a white see through nightgown, she wasn't expecting to see Peter clad in his Iron Spider armored suit sitting at a large kitchen island with a large bag at his feet and numerous small items spread out before him.

He seemed to be unaware of her presence which she decided to rectify as she approached him, her bare feet barley making a noise on the floor tiles "No breakfast? If your planning to win me over darling, the least you could have done is make some coffee"

Peter jumped a little before looking over towards Emma with surprise "What are you doing up this late?"

Emma quirked a brow at this "Peter, it's morning"

"Really?" Peter said with wide eyes before he looked beyond her to the distant window down the hall and noticed the sun rays coming through the shutters "Oh… man time flies when your busy prepping your invasion kit"

"Invasion kit?" Emma asked with a raised brow.

Peter nodded as he gestured to the things before him "Yeah, after realizing that you were able to get in here, something I doubt Doom hasn't noticed, it means that others can too and based on what you told me last night, there's a lot of people I really don't want to show up here too. Which with my luck they will."

"Well given you're in the middle of a dessert the size of a solar system on a part of the planet where the nearest other inhabited realms could possibly be lightyears way, I think you'll be fine" Emma said as she approached the island and looked at some of the items on it closely.

"And yet you got here despite that" Peter said before a thought came to him "Hey, how did you end up here anyway? Like was it you were walking down a street one minute only to wake up here the next or was something else going on at the time?"

"…Something else" Emma said as she held up a small rubber ball that was a little dirty and looked like it's been burned a little on one side "What's this supposed to be?"

"Just an old rubber ball I found out by the Spider volcano" Peter said as he held his hand out for it "I'm going to re-check some of the defenses I have around the city in case some of these 'Regime' guys or even those Yellow Lanterns pop up"

"The Yellow Lanterns from what I've seen can fly and so could a large number of the people in the Regime and its allies" Emma said as she handed the ball back to Peter and watched as he packed the bag "How do you plan to counter that?"

"Oh with a few things I've found over in the Baxter building, Avengers mansion and even here in the tower" Peter said as he stored all of the items he would need for today "Plus I made a few things in my spare time, something that I've had plenty of"

"You were expecting an attack at some point?" Emma questioned.

"Kinda" Peter said as he rubbed the back of his neck "There's this really big underground cavern beneath the city that's filled with some less then friendly things and if they ever happen to get up here… well… they'd quickly have a reason to go back underground"

"There that bad?" Emma asked with interest.

"No… I was that much of an ass to them two years ago" Peter said with a sigh before he shouldered the bag "I should be back in a few hours"

"And what am I supposed to do?" Emma asked with a frown as she folded her arms under her breasts "Make my own breakfast?"

Peter stared at her for several long moments before he nodded "Uh, yeah?"

"Wrong" Emma said as she sat at the table and crossed her legs at the knee and gave Peter an expected look "I'm a guest and as the host you must accommodate my needs. And right now, my main need is food"

Peter stared at her for several seconds as if she grew another head before he pointed towards the refrigerator "There's a fridge, I'm sure a woman as smart as you can manage"

"And I'm sure a man as smart as you can manage having it feel like every breath you take is like fire while trapped in an endless nightmare of pain" Emma countered as she examined her nails while Peter gaped at her threat.

"You'd seriously do that to me, just because I won't make you breakfast first?!" Peter said in disbelief.

"Yes" Emma said with a straight face.

The two held the other's gazes for a long time, waiting for the other to possibly back down and accept defeat. Finally, after what felt like an eternity, Peter sighed and placed the bag on the ground "Fine… I'll make you your damn breakfast"

"Good…" Emma said with a smirk as she watched Peter wander over to the fridge and began to take out a myriad of items "And if the breakfast is satisfactory, I may even repay you later"

The words were out Peter's mouth before he could even think "If it's a few hours or more in your bed, I'll gladly make you every damn meal for the rest of the time your trapped here with me"

Silence rang through the room as Peter froze in place, what he just spoke registering in his mind while Emma looked at him with a blank expression that gave nothing away of the comment he made. Minutes passed far too slowly for Peter's liking as he mentally begged Doom if he was watching this to let Emma get it over with and break his mind with hers quickly and painlessly before she did something he didn't expect.

She laughed!

"My, my, mister Parker… quite a forward request to make to me" Emma said as her eyes pinned Peter in place with amusement "If I want to eat meals made by you, I have to give you my body as payment?"

Peter felt himself begin to blush red and sweat build on his brow as his heart beat skyrocketed as if Hulk himself said he was going to flatten him like a pancake "I-I didn't mean that, it was uh, uh a slip of the tongue. I haven't really gotten any sleep last night and I've been so used to be alone and saying whatever I want that I-"

"I'll consider it"

"- And it's just I'm a little annoyed that your making me make you breakfast rather than securing this place in case some crazy sociopath and his army shows up looking to take it and- …" Peter would have kept going on and on if he didn't suddenly realize what Emma said. He blinked several times in confusion before he cleared out both ears "I'm sorry… but what?"

"I said…" Emma repeated in a slow manner, as if Peter were small child barely able to read and not one of their world's most intellectually gifted minds there is "I'll consider it"

Peter stared at her for several long moments before he shook his head "Okay now I know I'm in some nightmare you implanted in my mind. Is this the part where Thanos appears and begins to mutilate my body in ways that would leave Deadpool vomiting in horror and disgust or do I get the pleasure of being eaten alive by a Carnage empowered Sabretooth?"

Emma rolled her eyes as she leaned back in her chair "Is it really so hard to believe that I would consider sleeping with you?"

"Yes" Peter said as he looked her straight in the eye with a serious expression "In case it's escaped your notice Emma, but I'm not rich, hell most of my life I was in the lower spectrum of middle class"

"I know, half the times we've met, your mind was practically screaming with worry about making ends meet, wheatear you'll be able to afford more ingredients for our webs or acquire material to repair your costume" Emma said with a slight shrug.

"I'm not very influential as both Peter Parker or Spider-man. Well as Peter Parker back in our world my name was starting to get out there thanks to my work at Horizon labs and I can't believe I'm going to say this, but also because of Otto taking over my body and sort of getting my life together professionally speaking and helping me, him, whatever get a doctorate and even get my own company. As Spider-man, if I offered in my two cents, half the time it's ignored or laughed at and people never take me seriously"

"Well your 'jokes' and 'quips' and your nearly insufferable commentary can be quite grating on most people's patience" Emma said with a smirk as she adjusted her nightgown which slipped a little at the shoulder, exposing a bit more of her flawless flesh to Peter's eyes that she saw lingered a little longer before by some inhuman force of will, they pulled away and back to her eyes "But when you're in that Black suit of yours… suddenly you don't seem as much a joke or nuisance"

Peter rubbed the back of his head at that and adverted his gaze "Yeah… that… that usually tends to get people's attention"

"Then why not wear it more often?" Emma questioned before she gave him a coy grin "After all, it does help accentuate your physique even more than your other suits"

"Oh, you know, if I wear it all the time then it loses its cool factor. Plus, people would stop taking me seriously in it" Peter explained as if it were the simplest thing in the world…

Emma's eyes narrowed at this, she didn't need to be a mind reader to know that he wasn't being honest, not completely anyway "Really?"

"Yeah…" Peter said as he pulled a few more things from the fridge before closing it and making his way to the stove.

Emma hummed at this before she rested her elbows in the kitchen island "Well now that you've give me your reasons for why I wouldn't sleep with you, are you going to accept my possible consideration or not?"

Peter thought it over for a moment before he gave her a conflicted look "But aren't you still… you know?"

"In morning?" Emma asked with a frown before she nodded "I suppose I am to an extent, but that won't bring Scott back. Or my Scott at least since coming to this world I've met at least seven different types"

"That must have been… interesting" Peter said carefully.

"Not really, three of them were assholes, one was in a rather sweet if odd relationship with a middle age version of Kitty Pryde" Emma said with a slight shiver at the last. She could have gone her whole life without ever seeing that, thank you.

"What about the last three?" Peter asked "That's four, how were the last ones or were they in a relationship with either their version of Emma Frost or Jean Grey?"

Emma thought it over for a moment before she answered "The last three had sided with the 'Russian Superman' and from what I could gleam, one of them is in a rather dark and violent sexual relationship with a woman that looks like me and Jean combined"

Peter's eyes widened at this "Yikes… that's messed up"

"Yes… though to be fair, that alternate version of Scott is the abused instead of the woman" Emma revealed with a unsympathetic expression "Kind of interesting to see the man as the one getting smacked around for a change"

"It still isn't right Emma" Peter chided the woman's thoughts on an abusive relationship regardless of the gender that's being hurt.

"Perhaps, but when you've been in a relationship with a man that's hurt you in more ways than one, I guess it just feels nice to see that it's not one sided. That the playing field is a bit even" Emma said with a blank face.

Peter's brow furrowed at this "You were in a abusive relationship?"

"My first years in the Hellfire Club… it truly did feel like I was in actual hellfire sometimes" Emma answered softly before she mentally crushed the memories and refocused her gaze on Peter "So where's that breakfast that could potentially have me in your bed?"

Peter sighed as he switched on the stove and pulled out a medium sized pan and began to remove some eggs from a carton along with some potatoes he sliced up a few days ago. Soon the kitchen was filled with the sounds of cooking potatoes and eggs that were topped off with some peppers to enhance the flavor.

It was then after several minutes of silence that Karen finally spoke.

"You people realize that I'm still here right?" her voiced sounded annoyed "Just because I don't make any noise doesn't mean I'm not still forced to listen to you two come to some weird agreement to satisfy each other's physical needs!"

"Whoa, whoa, whoa…" Peter said as he stared up at the ceiling with a frown "What do you mean 'you people?'"

"Organics" Karen replied dryly.

Peter gasped dramatically at that "That's… wait is that racist? I can't tell if it is or not. Emma, your good at this whole social thing, well better than I am. Is it racist?"

"It's probably more of a state of being-ist" Emma said with a shrug as she bet into the fried potatoes and let out a hum of approval "Well, well mister Parker, if you can make lunch and dinner taste just as good, you may very well be getting me in your bed tonight instead of later..."

"Hurray…" Peter said with a drawl as he went back to tinkering with his suit while Emma ate her food and watched him carefully.

'Hmm… a attractive male that's desperate for human interaction, easily manipulated under the right circumstances, especially if they are a woman as grand as myself and could possibly have some influence over the Phoenix itself… if I didn't know any better, I'd say today was my birthday' Emma thought with a silent chuckle.

…

It was over an hour later when Peter was finally able to get out of the tower and begin checking on the defenses that he's set up over the years. Emma, had decided to join him if for nothing else, she didn't want to be stuck with 'some snotty little glorified Siri for company'.

"So, what defenses are you hoping to check?" Emma asked as she followed Peter down a four-lane street that was filled with abandoned cars that have since been overrun by a combination of moss, flowers, vines and grass. The very center of the road had seemed to collapse and was now filled with a small stream filed with little fish and small frogs on the sides, basking in the sunlight before leaping into the flowing waters.

"Just some things that I've either implanted here on my own over the last few years or were already there and just needed to be repaired or switched back on. The first one is just down the street. After that, we're heading over to Queens to check the sensors I've installed" Peter said as he pushed a half-crushed car out of his way and into another to make room for him and Emma to walk down the cracked, grass covered sidewalk.

"Can't wait…" Emma said as she brushed a fly away from her hair.

She was now cladded in a pair of white heeled boots, a white lace corset and white jeans. When Peter first saw her attire, he questioned why she dressed like she was either modeling or looked like she was going to be preforming at a strip club. Her answer was pretty logical, to a degree.

"I find men easier to control without telepathy when they can almost see my tits or ass"

'Though I have to wonder why she insists on dressing like that now, aside from me there's no other guys for her to seduce, manipulate and eventually destroy for her amusement' Peter thought with confusion as he stepped over a knocked down light post that's since been completely covered by moss.

'Force of habit' Emma replied inside his head.

"GAH!" Peter flinched at the suddenness of it before looking back at her with a scowl under his mask "Would you please stop doing that?"

"Why?" Emma asked with a quirked brow, but the amusement was clear in her voice.

"Because it's intrusive" Peter stated.

"Mister Parker, just under an hour ago I've agreed to possibly let you into my vagina later tonight. I'm letting you into my being, how fail to see how me speaking inside your head is any different" Emma said plainly.

"Well… I have consent, well maybe not anymore after this conversation which may turn you off from the idea of sex with me, something I'm still struggling to believe and hope comes true at the same time, but I didn't give you consent to just poke your way into my mind!" Peter said.

"Then either improve your psionic barriers or find a way to block me through more artificial means. I don't have to actually penetrate your mind to hear your thoughts, you think loud enough as it is" Emma said as she looked up a billboard that's long since faded to the point only the rusted metal frame remained.

"Yeah, well… wear telepathic ear plugs!" Peter replied before he held his hand up to stop Emma as they came to a section of road that was deserted for several blocks before the traffic picked up again. The asphalt was completely crushed and looked more like gravel, but the interesting that Emma noted was that there was no grass, moss, flowers or any sort of signs of vegetation. Just the small river like stream going through.

"This the first place?" Emma asked with a raised brow.

"Yep…" Peter said as he reached into the bag he brought with him and pulled out several rubber balls "Just need to make sure these guys are online and can still move is all"

Emma's interest was piqued as she saw Peter toss several balls into the air and watched as they bounced on the destroyed road for several moments before something unexpected happened.

Several large robotic spiders erupted from the ground and either stabbed the balls with razor edged legs or blasted it to pieces with small high energy turrets placed under where a pair of serrated pinchers.

"Well… there's something you don't see every day" Emma said as she watched the robotic spiders scan their surroundings before they began to burrow themselves back into the ground "Something from your 'Superior days' I take it?"

"Nah, these are actually based off some designs I found in Oscorp a while back and found partially built in the old Oscorp tower a few blocks from here" Peter said with a shrug as he and the powerful psionic blonde observed the spiders hid themselves in the destroyed asphalt "The only thing I did was improve their A.I.'s a little so they can actually do more than rush the bad guy and hope to beat him. Now they can plan ambushes, set traps, monitor things from underground with next generation seismographs that I've installed in them… basically whatever a spider can, only they're made of Carbonadium and have energy blasters"

"And you've made them yourself?" Emma said as she glanced at Peter and saw his nod "Impressive… Hank always said you had a gifted mind. I think I'm starting to see what he meant"

"Hey, if you gave me half the money Stark had, I'd be able to probably build things that would put him out of business and have Doom secretly meeting with me and almost beg me to design things for him" Peter said.

"Be you ever so humble darling" Emma commented dryly.

"Hey, when I was just fifteen years old, I was able to make something that Hank Pym himself took years to do, and I did it with a fraction of a fraction of the resources he had" Peter said as he turned to leave for the next site he wanted to check out.

Emma glanced at the spiders' locations before she made a mental reminder to be wary of desolate areas like this before she followed after Peter "Do they recognize you and me as friendly, or can I expect that if I ever run into one out here, it'll shoot me?"

"Just don't attack them and they won't attack you" Peter said.

"What about the balls?" Emma asked with a frown.

"Oh those, I programed them to destroy any rubber balls they see on sight" Peter said with a casual shrug.

"Why?" Emma asked with confusion.

"…I got bored and it's fun to watch them blow up rubber spheres"

The next several hours passed with far less exciting demonstrations of some of the defenses that Peter had in the city. Most of them weren't very impressive compared to the little spider drones he made or well more correctly, redesigned and improved. Most of the things that Peter checked were small hyper advance sensors that scan through a litany of different spectrums and dimensions, automated turrets that fire stun rounds, and a few dozen traps that revolved around large extra strength webbing, energy fields and a few old Iron Man armors that Peter's reprogramed to act as sentries.

It wasn't until that Emma and Peter arrived at the sort of 'Hudson Lake' to take a small boat that Peter repaired over to Queens when they met the other security measure that Peter had… Devil Dinosaur.

"Are you sure we can turst this thing?" Emma said in her diamond form as she maintained eye contact with the large red while Peter checked the boat they will be taking a few meters away on the beach.

"Yeah… besides this guy once helped me save some co-workers of mine when we went to the Savage Land" Peter said as he checked the engine.

"If you're sure" Emma said with doubt as the Rex smelled her a little before letting out a huff. Emma's eyes narrowed slightly at this "You're not what I would call pleasant either… now back away before I tear your pea sized brain to shreds and make a pair of boots out of your hide!"

The large animal let out a louder gruff as it turned and began to slowly make its way further down the beach, it's footsteps sending small tremors through the sand. Emma didn't let it out of her sight until Peter tapped her shoulder and signaled her to get in the boat.

"Come on, it's getting late and I don't fancy being out after dark" Peter said as the duo made their way into the small powerboat and Peter started the engine.

"Why, what happens after dark?" Emma questioned.

"Karen locks the doors" Peter said with slumped shoulders.

Emma's response was to sigh 'Please be a good lay, please be a good lay to make up for the headaches he's causing me'

"So Emma…" Peter started off as he adjusted the speed of the boat while keeping a look out for anything he may accidently hit "How did you end up here, if you don't mind me asking"

Emma was leaning against the side of the boat, trailing a hand in the cool waters before she answered "Oh you know, a rogue faction of the X-men that believed in the Regime's ideals and lived under my rule rose up against me. For the most part, they were easy to beat back. On my own I could handle them but the Regime heard of their resistance and supplied them with several of these machines that were capable of mimicking superhuman powers called AMAZO. They were like Trask's next generation Sentinels or NIMRODS. They weren't as deadly, but they were more than enough to pose a threat when deployed properly"

"So, what happened?" Peter asked.

Emma stared out over the rolling waves of the large body of water for several moments, debating on what to reveal before she spoke "I assembled a small strike force composed of beings that were suited for the more… unsavory… aspects of war like alternate versions of Wolverine, X-23, Sabretooth, and Warpath all under our Magento's command. The fight went largely in our favor until one of these AMAZO's somehow copied the powers of Nightcrawler, Magik and Havok and used their powers in conjunction with each other to attack me in my own personal stronghold weeks after the fighting had seemingly ended with our victory. I held out fine for a while until it finally got a lucky shot in which almost killed me before throwing me through a portal it conjured up. I'm not sure dropping me here was its intent, if anything Doom was likely aware of this conflict and waited until the last possible moment to alter the destination of the portal to here"

"Why? I mean he once told me that he'd keep me isolated here and prevent others from coming here until he allowed it. So why is he now bringing in others?" Peter questioned.

"I don't know Parker. Just because I've been around the man a few more times then I wish I was, doesn't mean I know his motives" Emma said with a frown.

Silence passed for several minutes before Peter spoke "Is that all that went down, or just all you're going to tell me for the time being"

"What do you think?" she asked, her tone taking a notable edge to it that said plenty, drop it.

"…Fair enough"

…

While Emma and Peter were out checking the cities defenses, Karen had retreated into the Spider Tower's systems and began to monitor the flow of information coming in from a host of sensors and cameras set up all over the settlement until she stumbled across something from the sensor stationed at Stanton Island. It was originally designed to monitor the volcano but Peter's modified it since then to pick up any other abnormal energy signatures, and it was picking up over two dozen.

'This… this can't be good' Karen thought worriedly as she saw that all of the energy signatures were giving off various amounts of Gamma radiation…

And one of them was giving off enough energy to rival several of Stark's Arc Reactors at full power and by comparing this to the data in the Avengers database, it meant one thing.

A Hulk was approaching... and with Peter's luck, it wont be friendly.

…

Several miles south of the city, a group of twenty-four individuals were slowly approaching the city. Almost all but one was garbed in full bodied rags, masks and goggles to keep them safe from the sand while the leader of the troop was garbed in only dark brown armored pants, golden bands on his wrists and a golden necklace hanging on his neck.

The figure was well over nine feet tall and heavily muscled with a dark green skin pigmentation as a result of constant exposure to Gamma radiation over the years. They had a full beard of white hair and around the lower part of his head, the top reaming bald still. The figure held up a hand to halt the party as his eyes narrowed at the distant shape of the city.

"Hmm… that'll do… that'll do just nicely" the figure murmured in a deep voice before he looked back at the group and spoke in a louder voice "Billy-Bob!"

One of the fully garbed figures walked up towards the large being with a nervous tick in his voice "Y-yes Pa?"

The taller figure stared at the small inbred Hulk before nodding towards the distant city "What do you think?"

Billy-Bob followed the larger man's gaze and saw the city in the distance before he nodded "I-It looks nice Pa, is that out new home?"

Maestro smirked as he folded his arms across his chest "Yes, it will be"

"B-But what if someone else already lives there?" Billy-Bob asked before he flinched at the harsh look the older and fare more powerful Hulk gave him.

"Well… if that's the case… we 'convince' them to share" he said after a few moments.

"And if they don't?" Billy-Bob gulped nervously as Maestro continued to stare at the distant city before he chuckled darkly as he gestured for the other members of the Hulk Gang to keep moving.

"…Then we kill them"
