Marvel: From the Void and Back Again
Chapter 20: Of Baby-Showers and Reunions
…
Logan, Laura, and Gabriella sat together in a quiet corner of Avengers Tower. Wild-Claw, with his large wolf-like and cat-like features, sat next to Gabriella, his presence comforting and reassuring. The group was sharing a moment of calm after the recent turmoil, trying to regroup and recharge.
The soft hum of activity filled the room, a background symphony of the Tower's everyday life. As they chatted, the door opened, and Jocasta walked in, her expression serene yet tinged with excitement. She held a data pad in her hands, her eyes glowing softly as she approached.
"Hey, Jocasta," Logan greeted her with a nod. "What brings you here?"
Jocasta smiled, a rare and genuine expression that made her seem almost human. "I have some news that's spreading fast among the mutant community and Avengers Tower. I thought you might want to hear it firsthand."
Laura raised an eyebrow, her curiosity piqued. "What's going on?"
Jocasta glanced at the data pad before looking back at them. "Yesterday, I did a quick scan of Madelyn. It turns out… she's pregnant. With twins."
The room fell into a stunned silence as the news sank in. Logan's eyes widened in surprise, Laura's mouth dropped open, and Gabriella gasped, her hand flying to her mouth. Wild-Claw's ears perked up, his eyes reflecting the collective shock and joy of the group.
"Peter-Knull and Madelyn are going to be parents?" Logan finally said, realizing the implications."
Gabriella's eyes sparkled with excitement. "Twins! This is amazing news!" She hugged Wild-Claw tightly, her joy radiating through the room.
Laura shook her head, a smile spreading across her face. "I can't believe it. Peter-Knull's going to be a dad. That's… just wow."
Wild-Claw nuzzled Gabriella, his purrs vibrating through his chest. "I'm happy for them," he rumbled, his voice a deep, soothing growl. "They'll be great parents."
Jocasta nodded, her smile widening. "I have no doubt about that.
Logan stood up, stretching his arms. "We should celebrate. This kind of news deserves a proper celebration."
Jocasta's eyes twinkled with excitement. "I'm already way ahead of you, Logan. I've been making preparations for the baby shower. And from what I've heard, Peter-Knull has invited a lot of his symbiotes to the occasion, even ones we haven't seen before. We're having it at Avengers Tower."
Logan grinned, clearly impressed. "You don't waste any time, do you, Jocasta?"
Gabriella's eyes lit up even more. "A baby shower! This is going to be amazing. I can't wait to see all the new symbiotes."
Laura chuckled, the excitement in the room infectious. "It's going to be quite the event. I bet Peter-Knull's symbiotes are just as unique and interesting as the ones we've already met."
Wild-Claw's tail flicked with anticipation. "I look forward to meeting with the rest of my kin."
Jocasta nodded, her smile never fading. "It's going to be a celebration to remember. We'll make sure everything is perfect for Peter-Knull and Madelyn."
…
Avengers Tower was buzzing with activity as friends and allies gathered to celebrate the joyous news of Peter-Knull and Madelyn Pryor expecting twins. The room was filled with laughter, congratulations, and the occasional excited chatter as various symbiotes and heroes mingled.
Jubilee, Kitty Pryde, Jean Grey, Colossus, Pixie, Nightcrawler, Mystique, Destiny, and a host of others, including Deadpool and Lady Deadpool, were all present. The Avengers, Spider-Man, Miles Morales, and Spider-Gwen, who was accompanied by her BFF Lumina—the moth-like symbiote with a fangirl-like personality—added to the festive atmosphere.
Beast-Shade, with his furry cat-like appearance, was deep in conversation with Jubilee. "You know, it's amazing how Peter-Knull has integrated all these different symbiotes into our world," Jubilee said, marveling at the sleek, powerful form of Beast-Shade.
Wild-Scale, with his unique blend of scales and fur, chatted with Colossus. "Your strength is impressive," Colossus remarked, admiring Wild-Scale's muscular build. "It must come in handy during combat."
Toon-Shade, accompanied by Dazzler, was in high spirits, making jokes and entertaining the crowd with his cartoonish antics, occasionally sharing a blush with Dazzler. Firestar walked arm in arm with the hulking form of Blight-Claw, the two were in high spirits. Jubilee, noticing this, shook her head in bewilderment. "This place just keeps getting more interesting," she muttered to herself.
Pixie and Nightcrawler were engrossed in a lively chat with Salamander who looked like a literal giant salimander, one of the new symbiotes. Salamander's sleek, agile form and vibrant iridescent patterns made him a striking figure. "Your ability to adapt to different environments is fascinating," Pixie said, her wings fluttering with excitement.
Meanwhile, Lunaris floated slightly above the ground, his large, spherical, moon-like head and gravity powers the topic of discussion with Thor and Iron Man. "The nature of your gravity manipulation is extraordinary," Thor commented, his voice filled with admiration. "It must offer incredible tactical advantages in battle."
"It has it's benefits." Lunaris replied, his voice calm and serene. "The ability to control gravity allows for unique strategies and defenses. It's a power I'm still exploring and mastering."
Across the room, Destiny and Mystique were deep in conversation with Victaranea, a humanoid symbiote with a distinct Victorian feel with a very human like head complete with her hair in a Victorian bun, and spider-like appendages that occasionally wove intricate silk webs extending from her back. "Your weaving is beautiful," Mystique remarked, watching as Victaranea created an elaborate pattern. "It's almost like art."
Victaranea smiled, her pitch-black eyes glowing softly. "Thank you. It's a skill I've honed over time. Weaving webs is not only functional but also a way to express my creativity."
Suddenly, Deadpool and Lady Deadpool noticed a new symbiote entering the room. They rubbed their eyes in disbelief. "Is that...?" Deadpool began, his voice trailing off.
Lady Deadpool's eyes widened. "NO WAY!" she exclaimed.
The new symbiote, with a body made entirely of candies, approached them with a cheerful demeanor. His central body was a swirl of cotton candy, embedded with colorful hard candies, taffy, and lollipops. He extended a candy and taffy arm, offering a handshake. "Hello, I'm Candivore," he introduced himself through a face that looked like it was just a swirl of bubblegum and nothing else. "And yes, I'm a symbiote made of candies."
Deadpool hesitated for a moment before shaking Candivore's hand. "Nice to meet you, Candivore. This is...unexpected."
Candivore's lollipop-tentacle arms on the end of licorice on his back and shoulders waved gently as he offered them a bit of bubble-gum he created out of thin air. "Would you like some bubble-gum? Freshly made!" he said, his voice filled with enthusiasm as his face rippled.
Lady Deadpool accepted the gum with a smile. "Thanks, Candivore. You're definitely one of the sweetest symbiotes we've met."
As Candivore made his way further into the room, the reactions from the other guests were immediate and unanimous. Conversations halted mid-sentence, and eyes widened as everyone took in the sight of the symbiote made entirely of candies. It was a moment of collective disbelief.
Jean Grey, in the midst of discussing the intricacies of telepathy with Nightcrawler, did a double-take, her eyes widening in surprise. "Is that... a candy symbiote?" she asked, her voice tinged with wonder.
Colossus, towering over the group he was chatting with, blinked several times as if trying to clear his vision. "I have seen many things, but never a symbiote like this."
Pixie, her wings fluttering with excitement, flew closer to get a better look. "He's so colorful and... sweet-looking!"
Deadpool, still holding the bubble-gum offered by Candivore, couldn't contain his laughter. "Oh, man, this just keeps getting better! A candy symbiote! This party is awesome!"
Even Thor, usually unflappable, raised an eyebrow in amusement. "Truly, I have never beheld such a creature. He must be a great delight at feasts."
In contrast, Peter-Knull and his other symbiotes merely chuckled at the reactions. Peter-Knull deciding to add some context began to speak, a grin on his face. "Everyone, meet Candivore. He's unique even among my creations."
Jubilee, still wide-eyed, looked at Peter-Knull. "How did you even come up with the idea for a candy symbiote?"
Peter-Knull grinned slightly. "Candivore in particular was created during a particularly whimsical experiment when I was experimenting with my symbiotes. His abilities to heal through sugar and his playful nature make him a valuable and not to mention he has a knack for candy making."
Candivore, sensing the attention, performed a playful twirl as his body twisted like taffy for a moment, his candy-like form glittering under the lights. "I'm just here to sweeten the day and spread joy!" he declared with his lollypop like appendages formed various candies on his appendages, extending more candy treats to those around him.
Toon-Shade, standing nearby, nudged Dazzler with a smirk. "Looks like someone else has a knack for stealing the spotlight."
Dazzler giggled, watching as Candivore's presence lightened the atmosphere even more. "He's definitely a showstopper."
As the initial shock wore off, the room was filled with laughter and conversation once more. The guests mingled with Candivore, marveling at his unique abilities and enjoying the festive spirit he brought.
Victaranea leaned closer to Destiny, her voice a soft whisper. "If you think he's the weirdest, just wait till you meet Mycosis."
Destiny's eyebrow arched in curiosity, and Mystique tilted her head slightly, intrigued. Victaranea continued, "Speaking of which, he's just arrived."
Turning their heads, Destiny and Mystique saw a symbiote unlike any they had encountered before entering the room. Mycosis, a symbiotic mass of mushrooms on his back and his head being a giant mushroom with an amorphous form, approached Peter-Knull and Madelyn. The symbiote's body was a blend of dark, organic material and glowing, bioluminescent fungi, giving off an eerie yet fascinating glow.
Mycosis extended a hand, covered in delicate fungal tendrils, towards Peter-Knull. "My king, my queen," he said, his voice a gentle rustle like wind through the trees, "congratulations on this joyous occasion."
Peter-Knull smiled warmly, shaking Mycosis's hand. "Thank you, Mycosis. Your presence here means a lot to us."
Madelyn, standing beside Peter-Knull, nodded with a smile. "Yes, thank you. It's wonderful to see so many of Peter's creations coming together to celebrate with us."
Mycosis inclined his head, his mushroom-capped form shimmering slightly. "It is an honor to be here. Your union is a beacon of hope for all symbiotes."
Destiny and Mystique exchanged glances, their curiosity piqued even further. Mystique, ever the skeptic, couldn't help but ask, "What exactly are your abilities, Mycosis?"
Mycosis turned towards them, mushroom-like head glowing with a soft, ethereal light. "I am a healer and a purifier. My fungal network can cleanse toxins, heal wounds, and even purify corrupted symbiotes. I am also able to communicate with the natural world, making me a bridge between the symbiotes and nature."
Destiny nodded appreciatively. "Impressive. It seems Peter-Knull has gathered a truly unique and powerful family."
…
Twenty minutes later…
The room buzzed with anticipation as the guests prepared for the gifting ceremony. This baby shower, after all, was an occasion to celebrate not only the impending arrival of Peter-Knull and Madelyn's twins but also the unity of their extended family.
Peter-Knull and Madelyn stood together, surrounded by friends, allies, and symbiotes, as the ceremony began. Mycosis was the first to step forward, his fungal form radiating a gentle glow. He extended a hand, presenting a small basket filled with delicate, bioluminescent mushrooms. "These are symbiotic mushrooms," Mycosis explained. "They taste sweet and will help with your cravings, especially since your children will need the nourishment due to their unique nature."
Madelyn accepted the gift with a smile. "Thank you, Mycosis. These look wonderful."
Next, Toon-Shade bounced forward, his eyes sparkling with mischief and excitement. "For the little ones," he announced, pulling out a few specially tailored cartoonish, wind-up toys that seemed almost alive. The toys whirred and danced in Toon-Shade's hands, bringing smiles to everyone present. "Something fun for them to play with," he added with a wink.
Madelyn laughed, accepting the toys. "These are adorable, Toon-Shade. Thank you!"
Victaranea followed, her Victorian-inspired appearance giving her an air of elegance. She held up two beautifully crafted silk blankets, their intricate patterns shimmering in the light. "I made these with my silk," she said softly. "They will keep your children warm at night."
Madelyn's eyes glistened with gratitude. "They're beautiful, Victaranea. Thank you so much."
One by one, other symbiotes came forward with their gifts. Each one unique, reflecting their distinct abilities and personalities:
Lunaris presented a small, glowing orb that floated gently. "A nightlight," he said. "It will help soothe the children to sleep with its calming light."
Salamander gifted a set of small, waterproof bath toys that changed colors when they touched the water. "For bath time fun," he explained with a grin.
Beast-Shade handed over a set of soft, furry stuffed animals. "Comfort companions," he said simply.
Wild-Scale gave a collection of vibrant, textured rattles. "For their sensory development," he noted.
Firestar and Blight-Claw presented a small, custom-made baby monitor with enhanced features. "To ensure their safety," Firestar said warmly.
Pixie and Nightcrawler offered a beautiful mobile adorned with sparkling crystals and fairy lights. "To capture their imagination," Pixie said with a smile.
Jubilee and Dazzler gave a small music box that played soothing melodies. "For peaceful naps," Jubilee said.
Destiny and Mystique presented a set of handcrafted storybooks. "For bedtime stories," Mystique explained.
Deadpool and Lady Deadpool, not to be outdone, brought a hilarious and endearing collection of tiny superhero costumes. "Every baby needs a costume!" Deadpool declared with a flourish.
As each gift was presented, Madelyn's smile grew wider, her gratitude overflowing. "Thank you all," she said, her voice filled with emotion. "These gifts mean so much to us. Our children are already so blessed to have such a wonderful family."
Peter-Knull nodded in agreement, his expression warm and proud. "Yes, thank you, everyone. We are truly grateful."
…
A few hours later, as the festivities at Avengers Tower began to wind down, Peter-Knull continued to organize the Seraphis symbiotes. Their tri-symbiote, angelic forms worked tirelessly to help people at local hospitals and SHIELD infirmaries, dealing with a range of medical conditions from diabetes to broken limbs, and even more severe cases like spinal fractures and brain tumors. The Seraphis' abilities to heal and provide comfort were a beacon of hope for many.
Peter-Knull also coordinated the deployment of Grey-Syms for SHIELD operations, a move that earned him a great deal of gratitude from Nick Fury. These symbiotes provided essential support in various missions, their abilities enhancing the effectiveness of SHIELD agents.
Off to the side, Kitsuna, the older sister of Kitsura, with an even more foxlike look to her form was already active in her duties as Fury's personal secretary aboard the SHIELD Helicarrier. With a quiet elegance, she meticulously went through paperwork, her knowledge of this universe's Japanese and East Asian cultures proving invaluable. Her calm demeanor and efficiency made her an excellent addition to Fury's team.
In a nearby room, Fury, Hill, and a few other agents were poring over recent reports. Hydra and Orchis had been unusually silent as of late, an eerie silence that suggested they were biding their time, ceasing all other operations to focus solely on Peter-Knull. The reports painted a chilling picture of obsession, with Hydra and Orchis operatives showing signs of paranoia.
"They're amassing resources and materials used to create Nimrod Sentinels," Fury said, his voice heavy with concern. "And there are rumors of them harvesting Sinister's cloning tech. They're stockpiling weapons, preparing for something big."
Hill nodded; her expression grim. "The level of preparation is alarming. It's like they're gearing up for an all-out war."
Kitsuna looked up from her paperwork, her eyes meeting Fury's. "The paranoia among the Hydra operatives we found trying to destroy these documents is telling. They seem terrified of Red-Skull's obsession."
Fury rubbed his temples, feeling the weight of the situation. "We need to stay alert. This silence isn't a good sign. They're planning something, and we need to be ready."
Hill leaned forward; her voice determined. "We should increase our surveillance and gather more intel. If they're truly preparing for an assault on Peter-Knull, we need to be one step ahead."
Kitsuna nodded in agreement, already organizing the necessary documents and resources. "I'll ensure all relevant data is compiled and ready for analysis."
Peter-Knull continued his patrols undisturbed by recent events, an aura of calm surrounding him that was almost unnerving to those who knew the gravity of the situation. It was as if he carried the weight of the impending conflict with a quiet resolve, taking moments to reflect in silence. Occasionally, he would commune with Peter Parker, Gwen Stacy, and a few others, but he often took time for solitary reflection. Logan, observing Peter-Knull, recognized the look of a warrior preparing for what lay ahead—a look he had seen countless times before.
Despite the calm exterior, Peter-Knull knew the importance of staying grounded and bracing himself for the coming storm. Today, he decided to run some errands, starting with a visit to Aunt May's apartment, where she lived with her nephew Peter. Riding his symbiotic motorcycle through the city, Peter-Knull felt the gentle hum of the engine beneath him, a comforting reminder of the bond he shared with his symbiotes.
Arriving at Aunt May's apartment, he was greeted warmly by Peter, who let him in. Aunt May, now vibrant and healthy after Peter-Knull had healed her cancer, was busy cooking dinner. The delicious aroma of home-cooked food filled the air, a stark contrast to the tension that had been pervasive in recent days.
"Peter-Knull! It's so good to see you," Aunt May exclaimed, her face lighting up with a warm smile. "I hope you're hungry. I've made plenty."
Peter-Knull smiled back, his expression softening. "Thank you, Aunt May. It smells wonderful."
The three of them sat down to a hearty meal, sharing stories and laughter. For about an hour, the outside world and its troubles seemed to fade away. Peter-Knull relished the normalcy of the moment, the simple joy of a shared meal with loved ones.
…
A short while later…
As they finished eating, Peter-Knull gathered some leftovers, storing them in his personal dimension within his symbiotic matter. "Thank you for the meal, Aunt May. It was delicious," he said, his tone sincere.
Aunt May beamed. "Anytime, dear. You're always welcome here."
Before leaving, Peter-Knull turned to Peter and Aunt May, a hint of a smile playing on his lips. "I have a surprise for you tonight. Be sure to be back at the apartment sometime around 6-8 o'clock."
Peter raised an eyebrow, curiosity evident in his expression. "A surprise? What kind of surprise?"
"You'll like it," Peter-Knull replied cryptically, the smile widening slightly. With that, he exited the apartment, leaving Peter and Aunt May to wonder about the surprise he had planned.
…
After leaving Aunt May's, Peter-Knull made his way to Gwen Stacy's apartment, where she was hanging out with Lumina, the female moth-like symbiote. As he rode through the city, he took in the sights and sounds, reflecting on his thoughts and the responsibility that lay ahead. He arrived at Gwen's place, feeling the need to check in on her and make sure everything was alright.
He knocked on the door, and Gwen opened it with a bright smile. "Hey, Peter-Knull! Come on in."
Inside, Lumina fluttered around excitedly. "Peter-Knull! It's good to see you!" she chirped, her wings glowing softly.
Peter-Knull smiled, feeling a sense of peace in their presence. "It's good to see you too, Lumina. Gwen, how have you been?"
Gwen nodded. "I've been good. Just hanging out, trying to stay out of trouble."
They spent some time chatting, catching up on recent events. Peter-Knull felt a sense of camaraderie with them, a bond strengthened by their shared experiences and mutual respect.
Peter-Knull lingered at Gwen's apartment for a little while, enjoying the casual conversation and the sense of normalcy it brought. Lumina fluttered around, her presence always bringing a touch of lightness to any room. The warmth and camaraderie between them felt like a brief respite from the ongoing conflicts and responsibilities.
By 3 o'clock, Peter-Knull's phone buzzed with a message from one of his symbiote contacts. He glanced at the screen and read the text, a small, knowing smile playing on his lips. He looked up at Lumina, who already seemed aware of the surprise planned for May and Peter.
After saying his goodbyes, Peter-Knull prepared to leave. "I need to get going. There's something important I need to take care of," he said, his tone warm and reassuring.
Gwen nodded, a hint of curiosity in her eyes. "Take care, Peter-Knull. We'll catch up again soon."
Lumina hovered closer, her wings shimmering. "Goodbye, Peter-Knull. See you later."
As Peter-Knull exited the apartment, Gwen turned to Lumina, a questioning look on her face. "What was that all about? You two seemed to share some secret."
Lumina's eyes softened, a gentle glow radiating from her mouthless face. She leaned in closer to Gwen, her voice a soft whisper. "He's retrieved Peter's Uncle Ben from limbo. Much like he did with Magneto and the other mutants who wanted to leave. He's going to let him reconnect with Peter and May before he gives him refuge in his symbiotic universe."
Gwen stared wide-eyed at Lumina, the enormity of what she just heard sinking in. "Uncle Ben? Peter's Uncle Ben? He's bringing him back?"
Lumina nodded, her expression filled with empathy and understanding. "Yes. Some Seraphis symbiotes are already preparing Ben for the reunion. Peter-Knull wants to give Peter and May a chance to see him again, to have closure, and to make new memories before Ben joins the others in the symbiotic universe."
Gwen's eyes filled with emotion. "That's... incredible. I can't even imagine how Peter and May are going to react."
Lumina smiled softly. "It's a gift of healing and hope. Peter-Knull understands the importance of family and closure. He's doing this to bring peace to their hearts."
Gwen nodded, her heart swelling with gratitude and admiration for Peter-Knull. "He really is something special, isn't he?"
Lumina's glow brightened slightly. "He is. And tonight will be a night they'll never forget."
…
Meanwhile, Peter-Knull rode his symbiote motorcycle through the city, the focus on the evening's reunion weighing heavily on his mind. The streets blurred past him as he navigated the familiar routes, his thoughts drifting to the significance of what was about to happen. He knew that the reunion with Uncle Ben would be an emotional one, a moment of profound impact for both Peter and May.
As he approached the location where the Seraphis symbiotes were preparing Uncle Ben, he slowed to a halt and parked his symbiotic bike. He took a moment to ground himself before dismounting his bike and started to walk over to the secluded spot where the Seraphis symbiotes were waiting, their angelic forms shimmering with a soft, ethereal light. Uncle Ben stood among them, looking slightly disoriented but at peace now that he was out of limbo. Peter-Knull approached before speaking.
"It's time," he said gently. "Let's bring you home."
…
At exactly 6 o'clock, both Peter Parker and Aunt May were in her apartment, finishing up some light tidying after dinner. The atmosphere was calm, the warm glow of the evening light filtering through the windows. They exchanged small talk, enjoying the quiet moment together.
The doorbell rang, interrupting their conversation. Peter moved to answer it, his curiosity piqued. As he opened the door, he found Peter-Knull standing there, a calm yet serious expression on his face.
"Peter-Knull," Peter greeted him warmly. "Come on in."
Peter-Knull stepped inside, his presence commanding but gentle. He moved to the side, making way for someone else to step forward. Peter and Aunt May watched in growing curiosity as an older, slightly ethereal figure emerged from behind Peter-Knull.
"Hello, Peter. Hello, May," the figure said, his voice filled with warmth and love.
Aunt May gasped, her hand flying to her mouth as tears welled up in her eyes. "Ben? Is it really you?"
Peter's eyes widened; his voice choked with emotion. "Uncle Ben? How is this possible?"
Uncle Ben smiled gently, his form shimmering slightly with an otherworldly glow. "Thanks to Peter-Knull here, I've been given a chance to see you both again. Just for a little while before I pass onto the refuge he arranged for me."
Aunt May rushed forward, enveloping Ben in a tight embrace, her tears flowing freely. "Oh, Ben, I've missed you so much," she sobbed.
Peter joined them, his emotions overwhelming him as he hugged his uncle. "I can't believe it. This is... it's a miracle."
Peter-Knull stood back, watching the reunion. He knew how much this moment meant to them. After a few moments, he spoke softly. "I wanted to give you both this gift. A chance to be together again, even if just for a short time before he moves on."
Uncle Ben looked at Peter-Knull, gratitude shining in his eyes. "Thank you, Peter-Knull. This means more than I can say."
Peter-Knull nodded, his expression softening slightly. "You deserve this moment. But soon, I'll need to take Ben to my symbiotic universe, where he can find refuge and peace."
Aunt May looked up, her eyes still glistening with tears. "Thank you, Peter-Knull. This... this is the greatest gift we could have ever asked for."
Peter-Knull gave them a small, comforting smile. "Take your time. I'll be waiting outside when you're ready."
With that, he stepped outside, leaving the family for their precious reunion. As he stood there in silence, waiting patiently for them to finish their reunion.
Peter and Aunt May continued to share heartfelt words with Uncle Ben, each moment filled with love and gratitude. They knew their time was limited, but they cherished every second, making new memories and finding closure for the past.
After a while, Uncle Ben looked at Peter. "Peter, I'm so proud of the man you've become. Continue to be strong, for yourself and for May."
Peter nodded, tears streaming down his face. "I will, Uncle Ben. I promise."
As the time approached for Ben to leave, Aunt May held his hand tightly. "I love you, Ben. Always have, always will."
Ben kissed her forehead softly. "I love you too, May. Always."
Peter-Knull re-entered the apartment, giving them a respectful nod. "It's time."
Peter and Aunt May reluctantly let go, their hearts heavy but grateful for the chance they'd been given. Uncle Ben turned to Peter-Knull, ready to follow him.
"Thank you," Ben said one last time, "Thank you for giving me peace."
Peter-Knull nodded, leading him towards the portal to the symbiotic universe. Where Uncle ben's soul was escorted by a few symbiotic beings.
After what he went through, he needed a bit of peace.
…
Destiny sat in a quiet room at Avengers Tower, her mind focused on the future of Peter-Knull and Madelyn's children. Her visions were often the first line of defense against unforeseen threats, and she took her role seriously. For the first few minutes, everything seemed peaceful. She saw Madelyn and Peter-Knull, surrounded by their friends and allies, their children playing happily. It was a scene of serenity and joy.
But then, without warning, the vision shifted. Destiny gasped as a sudden burst of chaotic images collided with her mind. She saw Sinister, his lifeless body torn in half, blood pooling around him. It looked as if some monstrous beast had mauled him. Her perspective shifted, following a gruesome trail of blood leading away from the scene.
She found Peter-Knull trembling and shaking, his form hunched over as he steadied himself. He knelt in the debris-strewn streets, his symbiote sword plunged into the ground beside him. The sword's single eyeball darted around, as if it sensed the surrounding danger. Peter-Knull looked utterly shaken, his body quivering with unspoken anguish.
Destiny watched as he eventually sat down on a piece of rubble, a haunted expression etched on his face. His eyes, filled with torment, slowly looked down at his blood-covered hands. The sight was harrowing, a stark contrast to the peaceful vision she had seen moments before.
Her view expanded, revealing the state of the city. It was New York, but it was devastated, buildings crumbled and streets torn apart. Hovering in the sky was a colossal entity that was a celestial, its form covered in a dark, writhing symbiote. It was one of five, each one emanating an overwhelming devastation that could spill open at any moment.
From the first entity emerged a figure identical to Knull, the symbiote god, followed by two more. They moved with terrifying purpose, their symbiote swords ready. They lunged at Peter-Knull, who remained seated, his eyes vacant and filled with sorrow.
Destiny's heart pounded as she heard him mutter, "When will it ever end?" His voice was a broken whisper, filled with despair and weariness of having to apparently deal with cheap imitations once again, and again, and again, with never once encountering another Knull like him. The vision ended abruptly, leaving Destiny breathless and shaken.
She snapped back to reality, her hands gripping the arms of her chair tightly. The future she saw was bleak, a terrifying battle that seemed inevitable. She knew she had to warn Peter-Knull and the others. The peace they cherished was under threat, and they needed to prepare for the storm that was coming.
