Time for some Twilight Peter bonding, plus where's Rumble?


Spider-man had taken Twilight back to his apartment, they entered through the window, Spider-man looking to first make sure no one was watching him.

"Ok stay here, I'm gonna go find your friend, if you get hungry you can help yourself to anything in my fridge, if you get tired feel free to use my bed, but don't answer the phone or answer the door for anyone, keep as low of a profile as you can"

Twilight nodded, "Ok, please find him, I'm really worried"

"I'll do my best", Spider-man then swung away, with Twilight hoping and praying for Rumble.

Spider-man made his way back to the battle ground and saw local authorities checking on stuff, Spider-man had to act quickly and not chance the fact they may have found Rumble.

He searched near the rubble, then in various garbage bins and dumpsters to see if he was hiding nearby.

"Damn, not here, where did the little guy go? He probably flew off on his own, this city's so big, and pretty dangerous, if I don't find him that girl's gonna flip"

As he continued to search, a friend approached from above, "Yo Spidey! What's up?"

Spider-man looked up and saw The Human Torch, Johnny Storm.

"Johnny? What are you doing here?"

"I heard about the damage, so I came here to check on things, man this place really went to hell, so who were you fighting?"

"Shocker"

"Wow, he must have been pissed"

"Yeah, listen I need a favor from you, come down a moment please"

Johnny flew down, "What is it?"

Spider-man spoke in a hushed tone, "I need you to keep a major secret, don't tell anyone, no one at all, well except Reed cause it's gonna involve him as well soon"

Johnny nodded, "Sure thing, I kept your identity a secret from everyone didn't I?"

Spider-man looked around one more time then spoke, "I found someone that came from a different dimension"

Johnny looked curious, "Another Dimension? Wait it wasn't The Negative Zone was it?"

Spider-man shook his head, "No, she's from another world, I don't know which one since I didn't ask yet but get this...and don't laugh, I'm being serious when I tell you"

Johnny grinned, "Pete, I've seen so many weird things the last few years, from Skrulls, to guys that love underground, we've even battled a planet eater"

Spider-man remembered Galactus, Johnny has more experience with him but almost every Super Hero has seen Galactus at least once.

"Ok here's the thing...she's a pony"

Johnny looked taken back, he did not expect to hear that, "A pony?"

"Seriously, a magical talking pony"

Johnny didn't know what to say, he wanted to tell Spider-man that's impossible but he knows better, especially when he knows an alien that's known for doing the impossible, plus he knows Peter once met a cartoon pig version of himself.

He also remembers a duck that Imnows 'Quack Fu'.

"So, you found...a pony?"

"Look if you wanna see for yourself I'll show you tomorrow, right now I need to find her friend, he got lost during the battle with Shocker after he tried to kill them"

Johnny put his hands out, "Whoa, whoa, whoa, Shocker tried to kill them? What for?"

"She attacked him trying to help me, during the battle a small pony with her got lost, now she's at my apartment while I find her friend, I told her I'd introduce her to Reed and he can probably send her back home"

Johnny grinned, "You got a girl in your apartment Parker?"

Spider-man pulled his mask off to show his annoyed face, "She's a pony!"

"I won't judge"

Peter raised his eyebrow, then shook his head and spoke more, "Look you just need to let Reed know about this issue, I don't expect him to believe it straight away but tomorrow I will bring her to The Baxter Building, and hopefully I will have her friend too"

Johnny sighed, "I would say you're crazy, but strangely I believe you, mainly cause like you said, there's been weirder"

"Good", Peter put his mask back on, "I need to find that colt, if you see him let me know, he's got a grey coat with black hair, he's also got wings"

Johnny waved his hands erratically, "Wait, he's a Pegasus? That's just weird, is the girl a Pegasus?"

"She said she's an...alicorn I think it was, cause she said she was a Unicorn, then got wings"

"So does that mean the kid will get a horn eventually?"

"I don't know how it works, I'll ask her when I see her, now I need to find the kid, if you want to help you're more than welcome"

Johnny nodded, "Sure thing"

Both Johnny & Spider-man continued looking for Rumble for a while, eventually it started getting dark.

"Aw man, it's too dark to see anything, God I hope that kid's alright, I swear if I ever see Shocker again I'm gonna give him hell for doing that to the poor colt"

Johnny approached Peter, "I can keep looking, I can use my fire to light things up, but you should head back, you've had a long day and you need to handle that other pony, she's probably worried sick"

Spider-man sighed, "Fine, that poor girl's not gonna be happy, anyway try to be at my Apartment around Noon Tomorrow so we can get the girl to Reed"

Johnny saluted, "Will do Captain"

Spider-man chuckled, "Real funny" he then swung away as Johnny continued searching for Rumble.

Spider-man arrived back to his apartment building, but instead of going through the window, he switched to his street clothes and went through the front lobby.

He made his way to his apartment, on the way he pondered if whether or not he should go in there without his mask and suit. He then decided since she's not gonna speak to the public anyway there's no point, besides he didn't want to be in his apartment in his suit all the time, he decided maybe he could trust her.

Meanwhile in the apartment, Twilight was pacing around, wondering if Rumble was ok and wondering if this Reed person could really help her, then she heard the door unlock and Peter came inside.

"Twilight!?" he called.

"Spider-man?"

Peter approached Twilight, she noticed something different, "Where's your super hero suit?"

"I switched to my street clothes to enter this building, entering as Spider-man is too risky, I was lucky before but if someone saw Spider-man enter this building it would cause some suspicion"

"I see, wait don't you have a secret identity? I can see your face...you look better without the mask, I like your mane, er I mean hair"

Peter rubbed his head, "Yeah I do, but if you're gonna live here I don't want to be in my suit all the time, besides it's not like your gonna be interacting with people, I imagine you wanna stay hidden too, the people of this world fear things they don't understand"

"Yeah your right I guess, I did plan to stay hidden, though unfortunately I may have made an enemy with that Shocker person, but still you can trust me with your identity? What if the people in this world do accept me?"

"Well, would you tell anyone?"

Twilight shook her head, "No not at all, I respect your descion to keep your identity a secret, I'm sure you don't want that Shocker person following you everywhere"

"Not just him, I have a lot of enemies who want me dead, besides I think I can trust you, you seem like a reasonable girl, caring too, like with that colt"

That set off something in Twilight's head, "Wait! Rumble! Did you find him!?"

Peter shook his head, "Sorry, he wasn't at the sight, and since it was dark I wouldn't be able to find him, but don't worry, one of my friends is helping"

Twilight got curious, "Friends? I thought we were being kept a secret?"

"Well he's gonna meet you anyway, he's Reed's brother-in-law"

"So that' show you know him? You're friends with his brother-in-law?"

"Well I met Reed before that but yeah, he helped me stay connected, he's a super hero too, except he doesn't have a secret identity"

"Really? Why not?"

"He enjoys the fame that comes with being a Super Hero, he uses it to gain public credibility and for popularity, so while he has a superhero name, he doesn't hide his identity, the name is just for perks"

Twilight groaned, "He sounds like my friend Rainbow Dash, she's a show-off in that regards too"

"So you have show offs in your world, when I imagined a world of magical ponies I figured there was nothing but peace & harmony"

"There is, we follow the mantra, 'Friendship is Magic', but that doesn't stop some ponies from being brash or arrogant"

Peter snickered, "Friendship is Magic? Sounds so silly"

Twilight looked offended, "It's not silly, it's something I take very seriously, especially as The Princess of Friendship"

Peter went wide eyed, "You're a princess!? Oh crap why didn't you tell me, I didn't look like an idiot to you right!?"

Twilight waved her hooves, "No, no, relax, I may be a princess but you don't need to act a certain way, you're fine the way you are, like I said I have a show-off friend, so I don't judge, besides you're a superhero, wait do you have any mottos or catchphrases?"

"Several, but the one quote that guides me is 'With Great Power, Comes Great Responsibility', that's my mantra"

"Wow, that's amazing, where'd you hear that?"

"From my uncle, he taught me a lot and I'm eternally grateful for that"

"Your uncle sounds like a great man, does he know you're a superhero?"

Peter shook his head, "No, he died before I officially became a superhero, I had the powers but when he died, that's when I decided to use them for good, to honor his memory and the quote he taught me"

Twilight's ears drooped, "I'm so sorry to hear about your uncle, but it's great that you did that for him, how did he die exactly?"

Peter sighed, "If it's ok with you, I don't wanna go into that right now"

Twilight felt shamed, "Oh sorry, I guess that was too much"

Peter shook his head, "It's fine, don't worry about it"

Twilight nodded, "So, are you sure it's ok if I stay here? I don't wanna be a burden"

"Where else can you stay?"

"Well, I considered making camp in that rectangular shaped park"

Peter looked at her like she's crazy, "You were gonna spend the night in Central Park!? That place is dangerous at night, there's muggers & drug dealers, if someone saw you who knows what they'd do!"

Twilight looked surprised, "Wow, I didn't know it was dangerous, why are there so many bad people there?"

"This city's filled with bad people, that's why people like me are around"

"Are there other Super Heroes besides you and your friend?"

"Yeah, many more, some street level like me, others only showing up if it's a Big Time villain"

"Wow, amazing, well it's good you're keeping your city safe, what's this city called anyway?"

"New York City, this part of the city is called 'Queens', the pat I found you is called 'Manhatten', there's 3 other boroughs too, The Bronx, Brooklyn & Staten Island"

Twilight looked surprised, "Manhatten? That's weird"

"Huh? Why? Is it the name?"

"Yeah, we have a city where we're from called 'Manehatten'"

Peter blinked a few times, "'Manehatten'? Wow, do you have your own Las Vegas too?"

"You mean 'Las Pegasus'?"

Peter looked like 'what', "Wow, bizarro"

"Well still it's nice to see you do this, but since I'm staying, will I learn your real name? OR anything else about you? Like how you got your powers or if you were born with them?"

Peter pondered then decided, "Yeah I think I can tell you about me, but only if you tell me about you"

Twilight nodded, "Sure thing"

Peter took a breath, "My name is Peter Parker, I became Spider-man when I was a young boy still in High School, I got my powers after being bitten by a Radioactive Spider, at first I was gonna use it for selfish reasons, like making quick cash cause I wanted to impress some girls and stick it to some bullies, then after my uncle died I decided to use my powers to help people who need it, I would protect everyone I see and bring this city out of it's dark abyss"

Peter noticed that Twilight was taking notes, "What are you doing?"

Twilight looked up and realized what she's doing, "Oh sorry, I have a tendency to take notes when I'm learning something, sorry about that", she put the pen and paper down, "I like your writing tool though, a lot easier than using ink and feather"

"It's fine I guess, just don't go around telling people, besides it's kinda cute, I have a tendency to be a little nerdy too"

Twilight looked insulted, "It's not nerdy...well I don't think it is"

"I'm not knocking you for it, maybe a better term is, I like that you seem like an intellectual"

Twilight smiled, "Thanks, much better, but what do you mean you too? About the nerd thing?"

"Well I was a major geek in high school, I always studied science and I love chemistry, many have told me I could have become a great chemist"

"That's so great! You have a love for science just like me!"

"Like you? You don't use science, you use magic, they're opposites"

Twilight shook her head, "No they go hand in hand"

Peter scratched his head, "This is so confusing, I mean I know one hero, Iron Man, who says the same thing you did, that magic was just an old form of science, but Reed insists magic doesn't exist, it's only an illusion and that it's only science"

Twilight raised her eyebrow, "This Reed person needs to work on his theories, glad this Iron Man person would likely agree with me"

"Well anyway yeah I was a geek when it came to that"

"Did you ever pursue it?"

Peter shook his head, "No, once I became Spider-man all my ambitions became focused on saving people, in fact when I became Spider-man, my grades tanked a little, as did my social life, and my family life to an extent, I never told my friends or my aunt about my identity, I didn't want to endanger them, that's why I wear the mask, not to protect me, but to protect them"

"That's so sweet, I take it that your other friend doesn't have that worry?"

"Other? Oh yeah, his name is Johnny Storm by the way, or The Human Torch as he also calls himself, he doesn't need to worry cause his only family is his sister, and she has powers too, the ability to turn Invisible and create force fields"

"Wow, so do they work together as brother and sister?"

"Actually they're in a 4 hero team, you have Johnny, The Human Torch, his sister Susan, The Invisible Woman, her husband Reed is also a hero, his name is Mr. Fantastic and he has the ability to stretch any part of his anatomy like rubber, and their best friend Ben Grimm, AKA The Thing, he's a giant rock person, don't let his appearance fool you though, he's a really nice guy and when you speak to him you'll love him like everyone else does"

"Wow, a giant rock person, my friend's sister would like him, she loves rocks"

Peter chuckled, "I'd say they could hook up but he's already got someone in his life"

"Wow, she doesn't mind that he's a rock person?"

"Well...she's blind so no"

"Oh, well it's still nice to have someone, do you have anyone?"

Peter blushed a bit, "I don't wanna delve into that just yet, but I did have some girls in my life"

Twilight nodded, "That's nice, better luck than I have had, well with guys"

Peter nodded, "So tell me about you Twilight"

"Well I come from Equestria, I was raised in a city called Canterlot but now I live in a village called Ponyville, ever since I was a young filly I had a huge interest in magic, I wanted to the the best Unicorn, so I studied day and night, for me it's eat, sleep, study, repeat"

"Wow, must have been hard having a social life with all that studying"

"Well...I didn't have friends growing up, it wasn't important to me, for a while the closest thing I had to a friend was my big brother, but all my hard work paid off when Princess Celestia, the ruler of our world, was so impressed by my skills, she made me her personal apprentice, and one of my first major assignments was to make friends"

Peter chuckled, "Wow really? Not that it's a bad thing but you make it seem like it was really important"

"Like I said, Friendship is Magic, it's not some cheesy saying, it's for real, by making friends we were able to use our combined power to defeat an evil mare named Nightmare Moon, and we were able to restore her back to normal"

"Back to normal?"

"Well she wasn't always evil, something possessed her, got in her head and made her into something bad"

Peter had some deja vu, "Oh, I get it, I've had issues with something like that once"

"Really? What was it?"

"Tell you later, please continue"

"Oh right, so by teaming with my friends we saved Nightmare Moon, and reverted her back to Princess Luna, who was Celestia's younger sister, since then my friends and I have been together since"

"That's kinda sweet actually, now tell me this you said you were a Unicorn, then you got wings, how does that work?"

"It's very rare, I'm only the 4th Alicorn Princess, and the second to ascend to that, the first two, Princess Celestia and Princess Luna were born alicorns, bringing in The Sun & The Moon, the 3rd princess, my sister in law Princess Cadance, she figured out the true meaning of love and went from a Pegasus to an Alicorn, now she watches over a whole empire with my brother Shining Armor, I became a princess after I learned the true meaning of Friendship, and now me and my friends protect Equestria together and spread the message of friendship everywhere we go"

"Wow, so cool, a princess of the sun and moon? Wait they bring the sun and moon? How?"

"They use their magic to raise the sun and moon"

Peter looked dumbfounded, "How!?"

Twilight wasn't sure how to respond, "They just...raise them, how does the sun and moon rise and set here?"

"The sun sets by itself, the moon doesn't set, it stays in the sky, it's just easier to see at night"

Now Twilight was dumbfounded, "How does that work?"

"Uh..." Peter searched around and found a Globe, "Here's our Planet, it's called Earth, and it spins", Peter spun the globe, then he grabbed a flashlight, "This is the sun", he aimed it at the side, "As our planet turns, the sun covers different parts, it doesn't actually move, our planet does, so when it spins to the other side, it's night, when it comes back, it's day, as for the moon, it's just always in the sky, rotating around our planet", Peter used a piece of crumbled paper for the moon, "and it never really sets, but during the day it's just harder to see cause the sun's out, come nightime it's easier to see"

Twilight took some notes on that, "That's someone I can share...wait can I share it?"

Peter nodded, "Of course, I mean most in our world know Astronomy but you can share it when you get back home"

"I'm so amazed on how different our worlds are so far, I can't wait to learn more!"

Peter chuckled, "You'll learn more, you can even ask Reed to teach you, he works part time as a Professor in a college"

"Wow, he must be really intelligent then"

"Yeah, so how exactly did you even get here?"

"Me and my friends were battling an evil pony called King Sombra, we thought we had defeated him once before, but he managed to return and enslave everypony, he had also kidnapped the sisters of some of my friends in the process, me and my friends went to challenge him, we had him beat but he turned the tables by sending by sending me, my friends, their sisters as well as Rumble and some other ponies through different portals, I followed one of my friends after grabbing Rumble, she's probably in this world somewhere but I don't know where my other friends went"

"wow, so are your friends like, warriors?"

Twilight shook her head, "Not really, we just represent the Elements of Harmony, a strong Magic in Equestria, my Element is Magic as my Cutie Mark points out"

"Cutie Mark?"

"Yeah this", Twilight pointed to her flank, causing Peter to blush, "I really shouldn't be looking at a girl's backside, it's impolite"

Twilight giggled, "Don't worry, it's normal, you're only seeing the sides, I won't get mad, but I appreciate you being a gentlecolt"

"Gentlecolt?"

"Oh sorry, force of habit, what's your species anyway?"

"I'm a human, and I think you're looking for Gentleman, I gotta teach you Earth Lingo soon"

"Right, well my Cutie Mark is a symbol of my talent, which is magic, that is also my element, my friend Rainbow Dash represents Loyalty, despite her brash nature she's never turned her back on us"

"Good to know"

"My other friend Applejack represents Honesty, she always tells the truth, no matter how hard it is"

"Applejack? Makes me hungry"

"Well she runs an Apple Farm, maybe one day you can try one of her apples, anyway there's also my friend Rarity, she represents Generosity, she's always giving"

"Sounds sweet, a person like her IS a 'rarity', haha, get it?"

Twilight put on a fake smile, "Right...then there's my friend Fluttershy, who represents Kindness, she's nice to all living things"

"She sounds sweet, though I imagine many here would take advantage of that"

"That would be unfortunate, and then there's the final element Pinkie Pie, who represents laughter, she always makes ponies laugh and she's always happy and loves a good party"

"Sounds like my friends Johnny & Bobby would like her, I'll even bet Deadpool would like her too"

"Deadpool? That another hero?"

"Not really, he's a Mercenary who never shuts his mouth"

"Sounds like Pinkie, minus the Mercenary part"

"So together you're a powerful force"

"Yeah, but separated, Sombra is gonna take over my home, which is why I need to get back, all my friends are in trouble, I just hope Spike can keep everyone calm enough"

"Spike? Who's' that?"

"My assistant, and sorta like a little brother, though he's not a pony, he's a dragon, but he's still my friend, I left him in charge of watching over everypony, I hope he can handle that task"

"I see, wow a Dragon, sounds cool, but speaking of little brothers what about Rumble? He your little brother too?

"No, he's the little brother of a pony I know, I don't know Rumble too well honestly but I do hate the idea of him being alone out there, I hope your friend has success, I can't bare the idea of going back and telling his brother that I lost him here"

"You won't, we'll find him"

Twilight nodded, then yawned a bit.

"I'm guessing you're tired"

"I shouldn't be, I'm very worried about Rumble, though it's been such a long day for me"

"Just go to bed Twilight, tomorrow we're gonna visit Reed, and don't worry about Rumble, we'll find him"

"I hope so, where do I sleep?"

"Use my bed, I'll sleep on my couch"

"But-"

"No buts, you're my guest so you take my bed, I don't mind"

Twilight smiled, "You're a sweetheart", she leaned in to kiss his cheek, causing a blush, "I'm glad I met you, I do feel safer"

Peter chuckled, "Yeah well, don't get too attached, girls who get too close to me often regret it"

"I doubt that, good night Peter", she went to his bed as went to his living room, he decided to go back out, he felt the need to find Rumble, knowing she was worried, he only hoped the kid was alright.

Meanwhile in the city, Rumble is sneaking around, scared to death for being lost and not knowing where Twilight was.

"I gotta find Twilight, she'll be so mad that I wandered off though"

As he moved through the area, someone had been watching him.

"Who's this little cutie?"

Rumble walked and then the person in question appeared before him, "You lost little guy?"

Rumble stepped back, this person seemed different than the others, he could tell from the voice it was a girl, she had long white hair, a black latex suit and a black mask over her eyes.

"Wh-wh-who are you?"

She leaned down, "You can talk too, wow a Pegasus in New York that talks, I've seen some strange things but this is something else"

Rumble trembled, "Are you a hero like Spider-man? Or a villain like Shocker?"

The girl chuckled, though was interested by the fact he knew who Spider-man was, "I'm not like Shocker, I don't attack people, but I'm not that much like Spider-man either, though I do know him, he's a friend of mine"

Rumble looked a bit excited, "Can you take me to him?"

The girl smiled, "Sure thing, but not now, it's late, and I bet you're tired"

"Aw, but I need to speak to him, he might know where my friend is"

"Oh, so there's more, well tell you what, I'll take you to my apartment and tuck you in, then I'll find Spider-man as soon as possible, does that make you feel better?"

Rumble nodded, "Ok Miss"

"So little guy, wanna tell me your name? Do you have one?"

"It's Rumble, what's your name?"

"I am known as Black Cat", she removed her mask, "But you can call me Felicia if you want"

Rumble stared at her, "You're really pretty"

Felicia chuckled, "Aren't you daring? Putting moves on a girl you just met"

Rumble looked confused, "Huh?"

She shook her head, "Nevermind", she put her mask back on and picked him up, "Lets go" she quickly went back to her apartment.


Well now Twilight and Peter are well acquainted, and now Rumble has a new friend, what happens when all the paths cross, and will Reed Richards be able to help Twilight?
