When A Spider
Met A Speedster
Disclaimer: I own nothing but what you see here, please note that I don't read Marvel or DC all that much (Indies all day baby!) so I am going with what I read about the last act from Ultimate Peter Parker but in this he'll be 19 instead of supposedly 16 when he 'died'. This is a prompt from Dante 101 who wanted to see Flash and Spider-Man meet.
Summary: After a battle with the Green Goblin, Peter winds up in another dimension entirely and meets a very speedy hero.
Earth – 1612
Tonight was proving to be one Hell of a particularly brutal one for one Peter Parker after he and Mary Jane had wound up making a rushed return to New York after the former Spider-Man had received a call from Miles in urgent need of help after the Green Goblin had managed to escape with a lot of dangerous criminals. By the time the two had gotten to New York, a lot of the city had been ruined thanks to the help of sleeper Goblins Norman Osborn had created if he had ever decided to try and take the city that never sleeps for himself. After putting back on the suit he never thought he would wear again and getting a hold of a spare set of web shooters, the 19 year old teenager lept into action after ensuring Mary Jane wouldn't get involved and things had been pretty wild ever since. The fact a lot of people were happy to see him alive and well and making quips with the best of them had truly surprised Peter but it was a welcome thing compared to how he used to be treated.
He had fought his way through a lot of obstacles until he had finally managed to reach Miles and ol' Stormin' Norman atop the Daily Bugle building of all places and after a surprise kick from Peter to Norman, he had to spend a little time listening to the big green lug go on and on about how they were destined to fight one another for the rest of eternity until both Peter and Miles had webbed the green skinned man right in the mouth and gave one another a high five. This had served to anger Norman who after ripping off the webbing immediately went after them with a yell of rage complete with flaming hands firing off fire balls. Which was totally crappy in the long time Web-Head's opinion and about on par with the ol' Parker luck. And apparently the Morales luck too cause the universe certainly loved to screw people over like that.
Miles had fought damn well against ol' Norman but the big lug had managed to knock him down pretty good to the point he had trouble getting back up and had to watch his predecessor fight the Green Goblin. Which was a pretty awesome thing to see firsthand for the youngster who'd been Spider-Man for several years now after Peter had died after fighting the Goblin. Though Miles had wondered if the formula that give them their powers would prevent him from truly dying as well but it was something he tried not to think about unless he wanted to possibly drive himself crazy in the process. He cursed the fact he couldn't get back into the fight as well as the two fought as hard as they could, which left a lot of Peter's suit messed up as Hell and a lot of cuts on him too.
It wasn't until what felt like ten minutes later that he was finally able to start moving again and when he went to strike at the Goblin, the beast backhanded him away and it was enough to send him flying over the roof and it made the kid incredibly thankful that he still had any webbing left and that his web shooters hadn't been crushed yet. Spinning out a web to the side of the Bugle, the youngster would witness to his horror as the two fighters fell off the side of the building while Peter clung to the deranged mad man's back and tried to knock him out with a choke hold. As the two fell, Miles heard Peter yell out that he'd rather live in Hawaii for the rest of eternity then see his ugly mug and Miles hoped with all his heart as he watched the two fall that Peter would let go and swing to safety, the kid would do something himself but that backhand had left him feeling even weaker then what he already was since that second breath of air hadn't been quite as good as hoped. And then, right before Miles Morales' eyes, he would witness the two fighters fall into some bright light that had suddenly appeared below them as they fell and then just as suddenly, it vanished leaving the youngster shocked as Hell and very, very worried for his predecessor.
Earth – 1 STAR Labs Basement
The swirling mass of light that was a portal to Earth – 2 pulsed momentarily before spitting out a lone bloody, battered figure to the ground with a groan before mercifully passing out one last thought being that he hadn't felt that much pain in a long while. His arrival set off the proximity alarm one Cisco 'Vibe' Ramon had set up a few days after Harry from Earth – 2 had shown up in all his dick headed glory. Jay still wasn't coming around to the lab that much after the man had pretty much got his wish when Barry agreed to fight Zoom and he could tell how much that bothered Caitlin since she seemed to have come to like the former Speedster quite a bit. Which her feeling something for him was a good thing in the engineer's eyes considering her twice over loss with Ronnie. The proximity alarm going off on his computer got him into action by informing those in the room with him and they all rushed down there to see just what had popped up from the other Earth now.
Personally, Cisco hoped it was a good guy this time around like Jay instead of some bad guy. What they saw however made their eyes widen and it was pretty much the same for Barry once he sped inside the room after getting the text. "Jeez! What happened to him!?" Wondered Cisco as Barry and Caitlin knelt down next to him while Harry just watched with an impassive look on his face.
Caitlin gently rolled him over and immediately saw that the newcomer wasn't even conscious and that a closer examination revealed shallow breathing. "We need a stretcher down here now!" Barry nodded and sped off and returned moments later with one and he and Cisco gently placed the newcomer on to it while the doctor ran off to begin preparing what she needed for him, but not before hearing what Harry had to say.
"Are we sure helping this person is a wise idea? For all we know Zoom is luring us into a false sense of security."
Caitlin glared at him. "False sense of security or not, this man needs help!" And with that, she took off while Harry rolled his eyes.
"Well we'll all likely be dead soon then." He muttered to himself as the boys carried out the battered and bloodied newcomer.
A Few Hours Later…
Peter awoke with a groan from all the pain he was feeling. "Ugh… Felt like I got hit by the Rhino again..." He muttered softly to himself while dealing with a fuzzy head.
"I see our new patient's awake." Remarked a female voice that immediately had the Web Head more alert then what he was previously.
"Wha-!? Who!?" He yelled out in surprise.
"Easy! Just take it easy." Tried the female voice in a soothing way.
Something that didn't exactly help him out as only a very few select women in his life could accomplish it and when he got a good look at the woman who was speaking, he definitely felt worried as he didn't recognize her one bit. "Who are you!? And where am I!?"
She smiled at him in what he thought was meant to show she meant no harm, which now that he thought about it, his spider sense wasn't even going off so maybe she did mean him no harm? "I am Dr. Caitlin Snow and you are at STAR Labs."
At the mention of his being at a lab he'd never even heard of and the fact the lady's a doctor, Peter became fairly alarmed and feared that maybe somehow she or her associates had found a way to turn off his spider sense! He frantically began pulling things off him even if it did hurt like Hell and dashed out of the bed he was in and couldn't help but wince from the pain. "Hey! Easy, just take it easy okay? I'm not going to hurt you I swear." Tried Caitlin and on the inside she was worried about how he was reacting and wondered if maybe he'd been experimented on before? As it would explain why he seemed so freaked out after being told where he was.
"Easy for you to say Doc! Pretty girls in a lab with unfamiliar names always lead to bad things as every movie or tv show will tell ya."
Caitlin frowned at him as she attempted to tell him that STAR Labs wasn't that kind of place but he wasn't willing to believe her just yet. "So if you'll just not try anything funny to try and stop me, I'll just be getting out of here and back to New York where ol' Gobby's probably still stormin' about."
New York? Not Central City? Gobby? Is that why he looked so beaten? Their visitor was making her curiouser and curiouser and she watched him as he made to turn around only to see Barry right in front of him.
"Whoa! Where'd you come from!?" Cause seriously! He does NOT need some random pop up guy getting in his way! Though he did have to admit the guy had a pretty nice looking costume on.
Instead of an answer, the guy just suddenly vanished and then called for him to turn around and waved cheekily at him. "Can you teleport or something? Cause you know that's pretty handy but always has that one downside that makes it suck. Like, you know, a smell of some kind or nausea if you get teleported with them." Peter watched as the red clad man and the doctor shared a look and he figured they were likely thinking that he was a freaking chatterbox. But hey, that was practically a super power of his! One meant for good things of course!
"Uhh no, I don't teleport but we know someone who does. I just run, like really fast."
"Oh, like Quicksilver then?"
"Who?"
Peter looked at him and wondered if the guy was somehow living under a rock. "What do ya mean who!? Quicksilver! Head full of white hair and can run really fast? Part of the terrorist group called the Brotherhood of Evil Mutants? Which is kind of a lame name when you got a few girls in the group too, but that's just me."
The Web Head watched as the two shared confused looks and he got to wondering if Xavier or some other telepath had somehow mind wiped certain pieces of knowledge from a lot of minds. Though why Xavier would do that is beyond him! "We've never heard of either of those two." The girl said finally while looking apologetic.
"How can you never have heard of them!? Were your minds tampered with or something!? Their leader flooded New York and killed a ton of people in the process!"
The two looked at him in shock and surprise and then the red clad guy quickly told him that had never even happened, making Peter wonder how that could be and even asked. "Oh for Heaven's sake! You're in another reality!" An annoyed voice called out that made Peter turn around and immediately see an unhappy guy who looked like that one actor guy named Cavanugi or some such.
"I'm in another reality?"
Mr. Annoyed just sighed in aggravation before answering. "Yes, you are in another reality and have been for several hours after being thrown out of the portal. Any other questions we can waste time on?"
Peter just looked at the man in shock as he could hardly believe what he just heard! But before he could really think on it, the pain in his body and the shocking news caused him to collapse into a heap, surprising Caitlin and Barry in the process. Harry just looked down at him with an unimpressed look on his face. "I guess not." Muttered the man sarcastically while Barry rolled his eyes at the man's behavior before putting their guest back in his bed in a flash and allowing Caitlin to give him another look over to see if any stitches came open.
Author's Notes: I think that's a good place to end this for now, I'll be visiting this one again sometime soon and hopefully you all liked this! R and R and feel free to send me any ideas you'd like to see me do.
