Spider-Man

When Worlds Collide

Chapter 8

Madame Webb was extremely pleased at the courageous teamwork of both Spider-Men. She had already sent Mysterio back to Spider-Man's dimension, where he was arrested by S.H.I.E.L.D. Now all she had to do was to send Spider-Man back.

As the two web-slingers arrived, the portal to Spider-Man's dimension began to open.

"Where is Mysterio?" Spider-Man asked.

"I've already sent him back." Webb replied. "Now all I need to do is send you and the tablet back, but first, the tablet."

"Why the tablet first? Why cant I go with the tablet?"

"Because in order to restore balance to both worlds, I have to reverse the event of when you got here. Mysterio arrived first, followed by the tablet that instantly followed and then you. Is that the tablet there?"

"It is." Spider-Man replied as he handed the tablet to Madame Webb. "I'm sure if it will survive through transit though? It had absorbed a lot radiation."

"It will be mended through transit." Webb explained. "While you two were gone, I was able to perfect a time travelling tunnel. The tablet will be restored to it's original form as it moves through the tunnel, re-appearing in the museum."

"And what about me?"

"You will re-appear on a building near the museum, but will have no re-collection of the events that occurred here."

"Yeah but I would still encounter Mysterio?"

"Not necessarily. You see, I sent Mysterio through to another point in your dimension. One point that can't be re-written. He won't show up again."

"Talk about messing with time?" Miguel joked.

"As for you." Webb continued. "You will have no knowledge of this event too. Once the tunnel closes, it will emit a high intensity radiation that will subject you to amnesia, but only for this event."

Spider-Man placed the tablet into the tunnel and watched as it was immediately whisked away at the speed of sound. He then turned to Miguel and the two exchanged a hand shake.

"It was a pleasure working with you." He said. "Thank you for all your help, besides my witty comments."

"Well I must admit it was fun." Miguel replied. "If only I could come to your dimension one time?"

"Well I'm sure that one day you will." Spider-Man replied, before retracting his arm.

"You must go now." Webb interrupted. "I can't hold the tunnel for long."

"Meh. You're the lady?" Spider-Man quipped as he gave the her a jokingly salute.

He dived into the tunnel just as it closed on them. Miguel fell to the ground as he felt dizzy and confused. Madame Webb had gone. Rising to his feet, Miguel shook his head and asked himself;

"Wait. What am I doing up here?"

Spider-Man however, arrived back in dimension a different way. The tunnel didn't appear anywhere which was an odd experience for the wall crawler. He just materialised on the side of a building that was next to the museum, just as Madame Webb predicted.

He rubbed his head and tried to figure out what had happened.

"What happened?" he thought to himself. "One minuet I was swinging by. Now I'm here. Oh well I might as well head on home. The sun is setting and Mary Jane would be getting worried sick about me."

With no memory of what had just happened. Spider-Man had swung off into the warm New York sunset. Another adventure had mysteriously come to a successful end.
