A shout out to Hitsuzen278 for letting me use some of their fanfics
In addition to what T'Challa pointed out about the young arachnid, the Wakandan native was wondering about his counterpart, who looked very reassured that the winter soldier was in the same place as him.
So did his sister, who burst out of thought when her brother caught her eye when he moved in place to look at Captain America and the Winter Soldier
On the eve of everyone moving towards the same area where Tony Stark was resting, the duo set out to emulate them, preferring this course of action to avoid the unnecessary repetition of stories that the teenage wall-crawler achieved on his journey.
Shuri and her brother returned their attention to the screen, watching curiously as the rest of them about what Peter's counterpart would tell.
Needless to say, the Stark family was speechless when they saw someone they thought was dead again, only to lose all color on their faces when they noticed that a certain web-head was still wearing the quantum suit, which fleetingly answered many of the questions they had.
"Child! Explain!" as if it were a father complaining to his son, Tony yelled at the brunette that seemed to be bouncing on the balls of his feet.
"What do you mean Nat was dead?!" Clint said at what he heard about his friend, with the others they were just as worried as he was about Natasha.
"Well, the boy knows the answer," Fury said loudly so that the others would be silent, so they could know what happened, but he and others were watching Tony by the way the narration described his counterpart's scream
"From the beginning?" not grasping that he was basically playing with the billionaire's patience, Spider-Man responded, taking a seat between Mantis and Nebula.
"I think it would be best, Peter," this time it was Pepper who answered, once again taking pity on her husband.
"Well, let's see... First I went to Asgard, where I left the Reality Stone in the hands of a very nice lady," Spider-Man began his story.
"Great!" said Scott Lang and Peter, who seemed to be the least worried, because of how surprised and excited they were about time travel.
"What did you do, what child!? Rocket Raccon inquired.
"What lady?" Thor, frowning, asked his question.
"One with blonde hair and elegant clothes. A weird bad-faced thing was about to hurt her, but I saved herin time after throwing the hammer in his face and then tangling him with cobwebs" ignoring the awkward atmosphere created by those involved in the first trip to that time, Peter replied.
But nothing prepared the young man to be taken by surprise when a pair of thin arms with deceptive strength wrapped him in a tight embrace, barely managing to hear some thanks from the God of Thunder.
"I'd say whoever it is, she'd be Beach Boy's girlfriend, but she's dating Foster, so she'd be a friend..." Tony said, surprised by the thin thunder god's reaction
"I think it's more of a relative," Natasha said
"Was I supposed to do that?" Scott asked the Hulk quietly.
"We killed a Thanos who came from another timeline... I think everything we knew about time travel was forgotten," the green scientist claimed, then shut up the second Spidey planned to continue talking.
Hill was making annotations, as well as Vision recording everything and in his cybernetic mind separating the information.
In addition to the fact that in the case of Tony, Lang and Peter, they were curious about what Banner's counterpart was referring to. Not to mention the unknown problems they might have to deal with that their counterparts were saying that only gave some of them headaches.
"After Asgard, I went to leave the Soul Stone. But no one told me that there was the Nazi that Captain America faced in World War II! He knew my name and my parents' names! Still, when he told me that 'a soul is worth a soul' I offered him the stone for Miss Romanoff," the chestnut continued the narrative.
"What?!" Both Steve and Bucky exclaimed
"Wait, what?" recognizing the person Spider-Man was talking about, Rogers interspersed glimpses between the young man and a certain archer who was in Vormir.
"You won't believe that..." Bucky began to say to the captain, both thinking of a Nazi with the red skull
"It's impossible, it couldn't have been him," Rogers said, not wanting to believe he's still alive
Meanwhile, the others were more focused on understanding that Natasha somehow came back to life in exchange for one of the infinity stones, which they still don't know what they are.
"Afterwards, I traveled to Morag with Ms. Romanoff on my back, but not before activating her quantum suit and giving her some Pym particles. There I found Starlord passed out in a puddle, so I left the Power Stone in his hand inside the container I was given.
"Why was I fainted? I don't remember my robbery being like that..." Quill tried to find out, turning his head around.
The knowing glances that Nebula and Rhodey shared were the answer that the rest needed to find out what happened there.
"All right, what the hell happened?... or is it going to happen?" exclaimed Falcón, before asking, confused by the projection of another world that seemed to be more like the future
"Let's leave it at that and think about it later," War Machine told him, not wanting to think about it and add to the headache he was having with what they were seeing
"When I arrived in New York, I had to hide Ms. Romanoff in a shawarma shop for a few minutes so that I could do my job better. I subtly left the Mind Stone in the hands of some villainous SHIELD agents, so according to you it must be fine, right?" Continuing with the story of his journey, the nephew of the deceased Ben Parker said.
"Yes, it's okay what you did," Falcon nodded to the young man's question.
"Perfect. Then I wanted to return the Time Stone to Dr. Strange, but it turns out he wasn't a wizard yet! In its place was a bald woman who punched me in the chest and killed me!" the fear of his condition was palpable in Parker's voice, which filtered annoyance.
"What!" several exclaimed at what they heard
If it weren't for the monitor that showed Iron Man's heart rate, no one would have noticed that he and Virginia Potts were about to have a heart attack from what they had just heard. Morgan, on the other hand, was enraptured with the story, listening intently to every detail.
"She didn't kill you, Peter. She just expelled your soul...- being one of those who lived the experience, Hulk complimented.
"And that's supposed to reassure us?!" Falcon exclaimed
"Wait, they said this Strange was a wizard, well he wasn't yet when he traveled back in time," Lang commented, trying to understand what was going on
"Magic isn't real," Shuri muttered, with only her brother listening, and shook her head at her sister's denial that magic is real
"Hill," Fury said to his agent
"I'm already working on it," replied Maria Hill, who made a main note about investigating the aforementioned Strange, although they didn't have his name yet, only his last name
"I could see my body from about ten feet up, Dr. Banner! That's being dead. In spite of this, she wanted to take the green gem from me but she failed, because my body moved only to prevent that from happening. Snorting, the wall climber spoke, smiling at the end because of his animal instinct that always sought to survive.
"Are you insinuating that your spider genes helped you?" Captain Marvel asked hesitantly, learning a little more about his history from spending time with him.
"I think so..." after thinking about it for a few seconds, Spider-Man nodded doubtfully.
"Fascinating," Black Panther said, though he didn't attribute it all to science but to stories from his own culture.
"Stories, what stories?" Tony asked T'Challa
"You won't be thinking that..." Shuri said to her brother after several seconds in which she paused to think about what the on-screen counterpart was referring to
"Keep counting, Peter! Go on!" encouraged the little girl who remained seated on Rescue's lap.
"Ok, ok... As I said, the bald witch brought me back to life and I was able to explain to her what happened here, and then give her the Time Stone. With that done, I sought out Miss Romanoff, and we prepared for our last destination." Obeying the need of the nursery, the son of the late Richard and Mary Parker continued speaking.
Tony and others were going through the aforementioned gems, where they realized that the one that Stark's counterpart went to get on his own was missing
"Oh no," Stark blurted out, realizing that whatever his other self didn't want to tell the boy's other self, he was about to tell
"Which was" Scott Lang asked
"How 'Which was'? You guys don't even know where Mr. Stark went? Amazed at the question asked, the Spider Watcher inquired.
"No," they all shook their heads laterally.
A playful Machiavellian smile spread across the innocent boy's face, showing that he could be a real joker when he put his mind to it.
"Kid," Tony said, seeing the boy scratching the back of his neck and smiling nervously at him
"I already like the boy," Clint said to the actions of Peter's counterpart, with Natasha agreeing
"Kid, don't you dare," Tony Stark hissed in warning.
"Too late. I arranged for Droney and Karen to make several copies of the security tapes, plus I made a copy of JARVIS before that to see if we could fix Vision," Spider-Man said.
"Vision, too," the captain spoke, turning to look at the android, as did Tony, Wanda, and others
"Did you really do that!?" Wanda asked, hallucinated.
"Yes. Why, is it wrong?" Confirming the doubt, Peter ended up asking his own question.
And as if it were a relived moment, the teenager was wrapped in a tight embrace, although this time the affection came from the sister of the late Pietro Maximoff, who was unable to vocalize her gratitude.
Several glances were sent to Wanda and Vision, thinking that she and the android had become friends as Tony was with Jarvis or perhaps closer, remembering some of Tony's attitudes with the ancient artificial intelligence.
"I'm sorry, continue with your story," separating herself and wiping her moistened cheeks, the Sokovia native encouraged the minor to continue.
"Thank you. Like I said, I have copies of what you did, Mr. Stark. What he did in New Jersey... In 1970, Peter Parker revealed, while retracting the quantum suit and revealing the Iron Spider.
Consequently, the teenager gently tapped the spider on the chest so that it detached and flew to an adjoining wall where a projector illuminated the wall in a pale blue tone, as if it were a movie theater. A few brief seconds of silence in the large room brought everyone to the edge of their seats, and then opened their eyes and mouths wide to the image on display.
"A woman?" Steve said at the image shown on the screen
"Does she look familiar to anyone else?" asked Lang, sure he saw the woman's clothes with her back to them somewhere
"Something's not right," Natasha said as she noticed something peculiar in the woman's gait, before opening her eyes and starting to smile
Moving stealthily through the dark corridors filled with tools and papers, a remarkable male figure draped in a long white dress and wearing a striking wig that had buns over her ears made her way with the aid of a simple flashlight to what appeared to be a series of airtight boxes.
Despite the fact that the projection was in bluish tones, as they assumed that it was really a black and white recording, some details were noticeable. Such as the appearance of a tiny part of the suit made with nanobots in hand to create a blowtorch with which to melt the safe's deadbolts, or the glare that almost blinds the Stark in the recording.
"Really... that... it was your plan...," Clint managed to say with a laugh when he realized that it happened to Stark who was open-mouthed at the plan of his other self
Clint wasn't the only one laughing, but he as well as Natasha, Hill and Fury himself pulled out their phones to take a photo or video
And as if all this were not enough, the time traveler had the audacity to bring his face closer to a camera hidden in a blind spot, thus showing the personification he tried to carry out.
A female personification that totally clashed with Tony Stark's mustache and beard.
"Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Princess Leia Organa of Alderaan. The most wanted person since the 1970s and who, in a way, served as an inspiration for George Lucas in his Star Wars saga" stopping the projection at the moment Tony was looking at the camera, Peter completed the ultimate reveal while the laughter slowly grew in the room
"Vis... Tell me. that it.. you recorded," Wanda said to laughter, although Rhodey himself was about to say the same thing
