While Peter and Eddie were getting acquainted with one another, Kate and Elsa were having a girl's night. That led Kate to bring Elsa to a bar where they had a karaoke machine.
"Over sideways and under on a magic carpet ride!" Kate and Elsa sang as Kate drank a little too much and slurred while Elsa was just trying to understand how this works. "A whole new world!"
As they kept going on and drinking, Elsa started to become a little relaxed around Kate without Peter around. Or it could possibly be due to the alcohol she was drinking, as she's never actually had any before. But Kate made sure - or at least tried to - she didn't drink so much due to this.
"Let it go! Let it go!" The two of them sang, Kate being a bit more slurred and loopy while Elsa was just having a good time and laughing through the lyrics. "Can't hold it back anymore!"
Peter was still looking over the drive for anything that could help him find out what he can on this Wilson Fisk character. Seems that the world has been busy the five years he has been dead.
What he didn't know what happened in this city, it was astonishing. There were several heroes he's never heard of since he's been back: Daredevil, Luke Cage, and some private eye named Jessica Jones has powers.
While he was looking into everything, he heard something sizzling and turned back to the kitchen from the table he was sitting at and saw Eddie was cooking something for himself. Something Peter said he could help himself to due to him not eating much the last few days.
But it was weird as he watched the Symbiote was stretching tentacles out from Eddie and doing a million things around the kitchen as Eddie just drank some coffee.
"Yeah...he-he does this a lot," Eddie informed Peter.
Peter decided to just let the two be, knowing he was going to have to help Eddie find somewhere to live soon. Then he finally came across something useful, a video of Wilson Fisk giving a speech.
"I tried to do this quietly, not wanting to draw attention. The last thing I wanted was for anyone close to me to become a target from those who do not share my dream."
As the video kept playing, Eddie walked over with a plate of who the hell knows and watched the video over his shoulder.
"For those who will have this city stay exactly as it is: mired in poverty and crime. And I know now, it was foolish to make that decision and I can no longer do it alone. That I cannot keep living in the shadows afraid of the light. None of us can. None of us should be forced to. We must do this together. We must resist those who would have us live in fear. My name...is Wilson Fisk, and together, we can make this city a better place."
"This is the guy who wants the drive?" Eddie asked, feeling this guy looked harmless enough. "He looks and sounds like a politician."
"And when was the last time a politician didn't have something to hide?" Venom asked him.
"Touché." Eddie guessed, getting eyes from Peter. "Right. Sorry, he's talking to me."
"Oh." Peter understood and turned back to the computer. "According to the records, Wilson Fisk was a crime lord, the Kingpin of all Crime in New York. He used the sudden decrease of the population to swoop in as it created a power vacuum. Put himself on top."
Back with the girls, Elsa and Kate were walking down the street and were making their way back and were just talking about their lives.
"And the entire clock tower came crashing down!" Kate laughed at the memory of how she was expelled from school. "My mother was so mad."
"I'd bet." Elsa laughed, just as drunk as she was.
"But then I learn my mother is working for Wilson Fisk, the Kingpin!" Kate laughed at the horrible memory. "And I had to have her arrested! How's that for an origin story?"
"Pretty crazy," Elsa admitted before letting something slip. "Hey, wanna know a secret?" She then pulled Kate in closer as they kept walking. "Peter lied. I really am a princess!"
"Haha!" Kate laughed, no idea what to do or say to that. "Is that so? Then what are you doing in crummy New York?"
"I was pulled from my room and dumped in the middle of the streets," Elsa confesses to her. "And that's not all. I have powers!"
"Is that so?" Kate asked, not sure if she believed Elsa or not.
"Yeah. And when I was a kid, I hurt my sister with my powers. Then to save her, she needed to forget I had powers! And I was locked in my room for years." Elsa confessed her true origins too late.
"Whoo! Peter was either a great liar, or you're a psycho." Kate stated as she hugged Elsa close as they kept walking.
Peter couldn't believe that so many terrible things happened to the people who survived the Blip, as he assumed things just...stopped afterward. That's how everyone made it feel. That the world just stopped and put aside their differences to try and move forward.
That was the whole point of the Flag Smashers, right?
But no, Kingpin, Killgrave, Bullseye, the list goes on.
"So, what happened?" Eddie wonders.
"Apparently, some new superhero named Daredevil brought him down. And then did it again. And again." Peter showed him the news reports of Wilson Fisk being arrested and then being released, arrested, and released.
"Pulling strings to get away with crimes." Eddie scoffed at the thought as he drank some coffee. "How was be brought down before?"
"Someone he worked with confessed to everything," Peter said and was shocked when he found out the people who helped were non-other than the lawyer who helped him out before the memory spell: Matthew Murdock.
Small world.
"Something tells me we're not gonna get that lucky twice." Venom commented.
"When has the same trick ever worked twice?" Eddie asked him and Peter saw he was gonna have to get used to this guy talking to himself. "So, this machine, what's it supposed to do?"
"I'm not entirely sure," Peter admitted and went back to the drive. "There's a lot of redirected information here. Something tells me he was working on this before he was arrested and his building repossessed."
"So, instead of breaking in and getting it himself, he hires someone to steal it." Eddie recapped.
"That's where our cat burglar fits in." Peter nodded and was even searching for anything related to this cat burglar of his. "But she is one of million robbers in New York, I'd have to know some more about her to actually help me. Or at least know her name."
Before Eddie could say anything, the elevator dinged and they looked over to see Kate and Elsa, both holding each other over the shoulder, singing out of tune.
"Cause baby we've got bad blood!" Elsa and Kate sang as she dropped her bags, and they dropped their coats.
Eddie and Peter were shocked at this for different reasons, even Venom came out to watch this interaction.
"You know it used to be mad love. So, take a look what you've done!" Peter didn't expect them to be back this late, only now realizing how late it was. Eddie was just shocked that they didn't seem to even notice he was around. "Cause baby, now we got bad blood. Hey!"
"Oh, look. They have Taylor Swift in this world, too." Venom commented on their song choice.
"You two look like you've had fun," Peter commented as he walked over to the two as they tried and failed to keep standing.
"Oh, we had a blast!" Elsa said as she tossed her arms in the air and dropped like this was a trust fall routine. Peter quickly reacted and caught her before she could hit the floor. "Whoo! You're fast!"
"So protective." Kate complimented and leaned on Peter's shoulder. "Don't like to see others get hurt, huh?"
"Okay. You guys need to sleep. Let's get you guys to bed." Peter saw he needed to get them to sleep, and they were gonna have a huge hangover in the morning. "Come on."
Peter started to lead the two women up the stairs into their rooms as Eddie and Venom stay behind.
"How did they miss us?" Venom wonders, unsure how they missed him.
"Just be glad they did," Eddie said as he took another sip.
Lucky then came over and looked over Venom and panted in happiness. Venom stared down at the animal and almost tried to eat it when Eddie stopped him.
"Hey! No." Eddie told him and Venom groaned and obeyed.
Peter dropped Kate off first as her room was closer and got her into her bed the best he could and got Elsa to her room. The room was a little bland as there wasn't much for her to decorate with it quite yet. She only had the souvenirs she picked up throughout the day.
"So, you had a fun time." Peter noticed as he got Elsa into bed.
"I did." Elsa agreed as she lay down in bed. "I almost never wanted it to end. This had been the most fun I've had in years."
Peter smiled and turned off the lamp next to her bed. "Glad to hear it." Elsa then started to slowly cry, gaining Peter's attention. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I miss my sister," Elsa confessed and Peter sighed and placed a comforting hand on her cheek to wipe the tears.
"I'm sorry. I wish there was something I could do to help." Peter was sorry he couldn't reunite Elsa with her sister. There was nothing he could do but hope he could find a way to send her home. "Well, get some rest. You're gonna feel this in the morning."
"Feel what?" Elsa asked as Peter made his way out of her room.
Peter chuckled and knew she was going to discover it in the morning. "You'll find out."
Peter then closed the door and made his way down the stairway to find Lucky on the couch next to Eddie as he was watching tv.
"The girls are gonna be sleeping all night, no chance of either of them walking up," Peter informed Eddie and placed some blankets down on the couch. "You can sleep on the couch tonight and we'll find out if there's something we can help you to get a job, or at least bring you to life, in the morning."
"Thanks." Eddie was happy that this man he met and almost ate was helping him.
"No worries. I'm getting used to becoming the social services of multiverse characters." Peter quipped and made his way upstairs as he saw there was a long day ahead of him.
