Four Peters Vs The Sinister Six
Author's notes: Here's my AU version of Spider-Man: No Way Home. It won't change everything, but I do have plans for spinoffs, since this is also going to be the first part of 4 or more stories.
This story is not just based off of NWH, but also based a little off of What If Universe's story "Flash and Spider-Man: Book 2 of the Spiderverse," which itself is based on CW's "The Flash." He gave me permission to do this story (What If Universe, not Sony, Marvel Studios, DC Comics, Warner Bros., or The CW).
I should also note that What if Universe's "Peter Parker-Coulsen, Agent S: Book 1 of the Spiderverse," "Secret Wars: Battleworld," and some chapters of "What...If?: Moments" are canon in this story, but not "Stronger Together: Book 3 of the Spiderverse" and "Dream Team" due to having 2 Peter Parker's on Earth 1, which would affect the next story. "Next Generation: Book 4 of the Spiderverse" also won't be canon with these stories, since the future will be pretty different in the next story.
If I don't show your favorite part of the movie, that is because some scenes are gone or from different perspectives for certain characters.
Also, today (December 11, 2023) marks the 10th anniversary of the Particle Accelerator explosion in the Arrowverse. So I'm releasing a Flash related story, even if it's mostly a Spider-Man crossover.
This chapter and the first epilogue take place within chapter 67 of "Flash and Spider-Man: Book 2 of the Spiderverse" and I recommend reading that story first. This is not a continuation of his story, but similar in an alternate universe, hence why the Watcher will narrate the first two chapters.
The Flash is the property of DC Comics and Spider-Man is the property of Marvel Comics
Chapter 1
Time.
Space.
Reality.
It's more than a linear path. It's a prism of endless possibility, where a single choice can branch out into infinite realities, creating alternate worlds from the ones you know. I am the Watcher. I am your guide through these vast new realities. Follow me and ponder the question "What if?"
On Earth-1, in universe W of the Metaverse, Peter Parker, aka Spider-Man, was married to his best friend, Ronnie Reymond's, former fiancé; Caitlin Snow and her former personality, Crystal Frost. They worked with Barry Allen, Aka The Flash, to defend Central City as Team SpiderFlash. And with other heroes of Earth-1, they defended it as the Justice League. Peter, Caitlin, and Frost had six beautiful children, who became great heroes themselves. But on four Earths in multiverse J of the Metaverse, things became very different. Our story begins in 2017, when the titular heroes of Team SpiderFlash were trying to save their girlfriends…
Metaverse J, Earth-1, May 23, 2017
Peter was in the woods near Central City, fighting Killer Frost, formerly his girlfriend Caitlin Snow. With luck, the night would end with Savitar's defeat, and a proper reunion with the love of his life. Peter wraps his legs around Caitlin's neck and tackles her to the ground.
"Who knew you'd be so straightforward in public." Frost flirts with him and she blasts him off of her and slams his head against a tree and drops to the ground. "Bye-bye, Spidey." She says and gets ready to kill him, but can't do it.
"Go on, Cait. Fulfill your destiny. Strike me down with all of your anger, and take your rightful place next to a god who's using you, and your journey to the dark side will be complete." Peter dares as he sees Caitlin isn't going to kill him. Frost rolls her eyes at this.
I'm inches away from killing him and he decides to quote Star Wars to me, She thought. Before she can do anything, she's blinded by a bright light.
Earth-19999, November 8, 2024
Next thing she knew, Peter was gone and she was now in a sewer.
Great. Just great, she thought sarcastically as she smelled her environment. She started walking around, looking for an exit. Better not run into Grodd down here…or Ninja Turtles. God, Caitlin spent so much time with Peter. He's still cute…even if he did give up on me.
Frost then hears something running behind her. She turns to find no one there. She then looks up to see the Lizard, hanging from the ceiling of the sewer tunnel. He drops down in front of her.
"Doctor Connors? I thought Peter and Caitlin cured you two years ago?" She asked.
"Aren't you scared of the giant Lizard man?! You're not going to cower with fear? Or are you curious about me? I can make you like me." He growled.
"No thanks. I'm not scared because I've seen my fair share of weird over the last few years. Hell, some of that weird is me!" She says unafraid, as mist comes from her hands. "And if I remember 4th grade science and Animal Planet, Lizards like to live in warm places like jungles and deserts…they hate the cold." She then sends a freeze blast towards the Lizard.
She notices a man in blue with a red cape from the corner of her eye. At first she thought this might be Kara Danvers' cousin, who she told Caitlin about at the "saved the world" party after defeating the Dominators. But then she notices a circle of sparks engulf the Lizard as the caped man moves his hand.
"What the f-" she says before being engulfed by another ring of sparks.
By the time it passed over her, she was now in a small room of 3 stone walls. The 4th wall opened to a larger room that reminded Frost of a dungeon or crypt from a castle. She tried leaving the smaller room, but some type of force field was stopping her. This wasn't just a small room, it was her cell. She saw that there were five other cells with the Lizard in one, roaring at her.
"HEY, SOMEBODY LET ME OUT!" She screamed as she banged her fists on the forcefield.
Several minutes later, more rings of sparks have brought two more people. One was in one of the other cells and resembled Peter's nemesis, Otto Octavius, aka Doc Ock. She remembered that Caitlin was a fan of his work as a scientist, until she later saw him fight Peter as Spider-Man on the news. However, one of the biggest differences was that part of his mechanical arms were red as opposed to just metallic grey or silver.
The 2nd person (who appeared as outside the cells) looked like he was wearing part of a metallic version of one of Peter's Spider-Man suits, with the chest of the suit revealing a dress shirt and tie. The suit then disappears to reveal a teenage boy that looked like the Peter that Caitlin, Cisco, and her Peter met a few months ago, who was traveling the multiverse to save Spider-Men and women from a Green Goblin. The kid looks around the room.
"Doctor-" teen Peter asked before the Lizard jump scared him from his cell, snarling at the kid, causing him to scream. He turns to face Frost.
"Hey kid, get me out of here!" She demands as she bangs on the forcefield. He then faces Doc Ock in his cell before the caped guy taps the teenager on the shoulder, causing him to scream again.
"Be careful what you wish for, Parker," the caped Doctor says, exasperated.
"LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Yelled Otto.
"Can't believe I agree with Doc Ock, but yeah, LET ME OUT OF HERE!" Frost demanded.
"Can you please explain to me what is going on?" The teenager asked the caped Doctor, also exasperatedly.
"That little spell that you botched; where you wanted everyone to forget that Peter Parker's Spider-Man. It started pulling in everyone who knows Peter Parker's Spider-Man from every universe into this one," He replied.
"This Peter can do magic?" Frost asked.
"No, I did the spell," he replied to her
"Oh, so you did spell and are assigning the blame to the kid who didn't know any better," she quipped.
"No, he interrupted me as I was doing it," he replied, exasperated with her.
"Did you tell him what you were going to do beforehand or just assumed and thus causing his interruptions?"
"Yeah, you could have told me what you were going to do before you started the spell so that I wouldn't have had to interrupt," Teen Peter said to the caped doctor, who was getting more exasperated.
"Shut up, both of you!" The caped doctor said to Frost and Otto, exasperated with them. "I think it's better we don't engage with them. Because, frankly, the multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little."
"Well, for you, at least. I knew people who have been to at least three other Earths," Frost said. "One of them, his name's Cisco, could create breaches to anywhere on Earth, maybe even the universe, and others. He could even see through the vibrations of the multiverse and could sometimes predict things. I even met a hot chick with the same powers who hunted world hoppers," referring to Gypsy and H.R. Wells.
"Wait a minute," teen Peter said, getting back on track. "Are you saying that the multiverse is real?"
"Who are you? And where am I? And what did she mean by "this Peter?"" Asked Otto.
"This shouldn't even be possible," said the caped Doctor to Teen Peter, ignoring Otto.
"But, I thought you stopped the spell," said Teen Peter.
"No, I contained it. But, it would appear that a few of them squeaked through. After you left, I detected two otherworldly presences. I pursued them into the sewers, where I found this woman and that…slimy, green son of a gun!"
Lizard snarls as Frost simply waves, sarcastically.
"Spell, as in magic?" asked Otto.
"Great, the last wizard I encountered was a fake who nearly killed me!" Frost said with her arms crossed, still angry at Abra Kadabra…as well as Barry.
"What is this, a birthday party? Who is this clown? What is this madness?"
"Watch this," Caped doctor said to Teen Peter before addressing Otto. "Do you know a Peter Parker, who's Spider-Man?"
"Yes," Otto replied.
"Is that him?" Caped doctor asked while pointing at the teenager.
"No."
"What about you, Ma'am?"
"Don't call me "ma'am," I'm still in my 20s," said Frost. "And as for your questions, I do know a Peter that is Spider-Man, he was my boyfriend until our friend, Barry, tried to stop me and then he gave up on me. I have met another Peter who looked like this a few months ago, but I'm guessing this is a different Peter since he looks confused."
"Well," Caped doctor says to teen Peter. "Here's what we're going to do, I don't know how many visitors we've got-"
The teenager then interrupts him, "I saw another one, on the bridge! He was like a flying green elf."
"Sounds like the Green Goblin that my Peter fought years ago and another that the other teen Peter from another Earth warned me and my friends about," said Frost.
"Well, he sounds nice, start with him. I need you to capture them, bring them here while I figure out how to get them back before they destroy the fabric of reality or worse, Wong finds out," said the Caped doctor to teen Peter as they walk away from the cells and the doctor guy starts to walk up a flight of stairs.
"Uh, Doctor Strange?"
"What?" Replied the caped doctor, who Frost now presumed to be Doctor Strange.
"My friends and I just got a 2nd chance to get into MIT and if the school sees me fighting these crazy monsters-"
"HEY, WATCH YOUR MOUTH!" Otto yelled at Teen Peter, while trying to move his arms.
"Not cool," said Frost.
Peter tried to explain, "I'm sorry but-"
"Are you seriously still talking about college?!" Doctor Strange asked.
"You're right, his future should be in fast food," Frost quipped.
"Shut up!" Demanded Strange, before sending a spell to activate a golden gauntlet on teen Peter's right wrist, that Frost noticed that he wore when he first arrived in his partial Spider-Man suit. Strange willed the gauntlet onto his left wrist and then transforming it into a more mystical looking version.
"Hey, what did you just do?" Asked Teen Peter.
"This," Strange replied as he used the gauntlet to send a blast towards the kid, who disappears when the blast hits him and reappears in one of the empty cells.
"Hey, you can't just-" Teen Peter says before walking into the force field. He groans in pain.
Otto, looking shocked at that, asks Strange, "How did you do that?"
"Lots of Birthday parties," he quipped.
"Funny," Frost said flatly.
I don't think he likes this Peter, but he might get along better with mine, Frost thought. Then again, this guy captured me easily enough. Maybe it's for the best that they never meet.
Strange then went to a plinth and turn a stone knob and pushes down on it, causing Teen Peter's cell to deactivate
"Whoa, hey?" He says after stumbling out of his cell. Strange then sent the gauntlet back to Peter's wrist. Peter examines it and exclaims, "Whoa!"
"One shot, send them here, move on. You're welcome. Get to work." Stange says un-exuberantly as he starts to leave.
He's kind of a dick. Maybe my Peter wouldn't like him. At least Oliver Queen was nicer than him and he certainly had his dick moments, thought Frost.
"Sir?" Asked teen Peter.
Strange sighs, "Now what?"
"I know this is my mess, and I swear to you that I'll fix it, but I'm going to need some help."
Strange looks at him, rather surprised. "Yeah, fine," He replied, before (finally) heading upstairs, Peter starts to follow.
"MIT, huh?" Asked Frost.
"Uh, yeah," replies Peter.
"Good for you kid."
"Um, thanks(?)" He says, confused by the compliment and then heads upstairs. Otto turns to her, like she's crazy.
"Seriously?" Asked Otto.
"Hey, it's a pretty prestigious school on my earth," replied Frost. "My friend, Felicity, went there and she's a computer wiz. Must be as brilliant as my Peter to get in."
"My Peter went to Colombia NY."
"Oh," she says a little enthusiastically.
Author's notes: And that's chapter 1. In case anyone corrects me about the date "No Way Home" takes place about a year after the 5 year blip of Endgame (2018-2023).
Some of you may have caught my reference to the 100th episode of Flash. If Cisco had sent Cicada's dagger to a dead Earth instead of into space, like they did with Fallout to Earth-15, they could have beaten Cicada a lot earlier in the season.
