Hey, what's up, fanfiction readers? Welcome to the next chapter of the story. Now that we've been introduced to the four main multiversal visitors, this chapter will see them explore Earth-838 and take notice of the weirdness within the universe when comparing it to their respective universes. It will also see the first interactions between some the characters, especially Blade and Wolverine, and flesh out Earth-838 from the perspective of these visitors, since the actual "Multiverse of Madness" didn't explore that universe enough despite being one of the film's main settings. I mean, you'd think for a film that explores alternate universes it would take time to flesh out Earth-838, but unfortunately that wasn't the case.

This chapter will focus on Spider-Man discovering this universe and take place at the same time as Strange and Chavez are discovering Earth-838 during "Multiverse of Madness", with the next few chapters focusing on Wolverine and Blade's encounter and Mr. Fantastic's traversing through Earth-838, respectively.

At the time of writing this chapter, "Deadpool and Wolverine" is out in theaters right now, but I intend to watch it next week and I will try to avoid spoilers as possible, but given the nature of the internet, it might be difficult to do so, and Robert Downey Jr. has been announced to Doctor Doom in "Avengers: Doomsday" and "Avengers: Secret Wars", like WTF?

I want to thank Aragorn II Elessar to helping me out a bit with the story and for Marcus S. Lazarus and Bl4ckHunter for some recommendations.

New York, Earth-838

Determined to investigate the reality he was in further, Spider-Man swung across the buildings and looked down at the traffic. In spite of the similarities to his own reality, Spider-Man couldn't help but think of the strange differences he saw in this universe, such as the inclusion of bushes and flowers in the buildings and the giant rainbow in the sky. Little did Spider-Man know, however, he was being observed by the civilians while he was swinging around the buildings, as if they couldn't comprehend what they had just seen.

Spider-Man landed on the back of an empty taxi car and looked around the city, seeing the people passing through the traffic at the red light, which was different compared to his own universe, where the cars usually stopped at the green light, leaving Spider-Man confused as to how this universe functioned.

"What's up with the people crossing the streets at the red light?" Spider-Man questioned himself as he saw the people walking through the streets. "That's new."

Unknown to Spider-Man, however, he was being noticed by the civilians, with some of them using their phones to film him on the scene. The civilians couldn't fathom the fact that someone else was running around in a Spider-Man suit, believing him to be an impersonator who was disrespecting the legacy of their hero. Spider-Man turned around and saw the civilians recording his presence on the streets and got confused by the way he was getting noticed by the pedestrians. He recalled his younger counterpart having his identity exposed to the entire world during his previous venture in an alternate reality, but his situation in this reality was much different, as the civilians were looking at him as if they had seen a ghost. Spider-Man then heard the voices of the civilians speaking in front of him.

"Is this true? Could this be Spider-Man?"

"Hey, why are you running around in Spider-Man's suit?"

"How dare you disrespect his memory!"

"Oh my god!"

Spider-Man could recognize the different ways the civilians reacted to his appearance as he kept hearing their voices; some of them were confused in seeing him swinging around in the costume and questioned if he was the real Spider-Man while others believed he was disrespecting his memory by wearing the costume and running around in the city like it was nothing. He then looked around the streets and saw several pedestrians recording him with their phones, leaving him unable to comprehend the situation.

"How's it feel like disrespecting his legacy?" One of the civilians shouted at him.

"No, no, no, wait a second," Spider-Man attempted to explain to one of the civilians. "This must be some kind of misunderstanding."

"You better explain what are you doing in his costume!" A civilian yelled at Spider-Man.

"What?!" Spider-Man exclaimed. "You've got the wrong guy. I just got here a few minutes ago!"

"Oh, so now he doesn't remember what he had done!" One of the pedestrians sarcastically remarked, not believing him.

"Who the hell do you think you are running around in his suit?"

"You better start telling us the truth or else we'll call the police."

"Oh, no. What kind of place I ended up on?" Spider-Man thought to himself. "I have to find a way to hide my disguise."

Desperate to find a place where he could obtain clothes to hide his suit, Spider-Man leaped into the air and shot his webs, swinging away from the streets as the civilians kept observing him and maintaining their disbelief over this stranger wearing Spider-Man's suit.

"Did you see that? He swings just like him!"

"I can't believe this."

Having avoided getting noticed by the civilians, Spider-Man swung by a nearby apartment and placed his fingers on the wall, crawling his way to the upper side of the window, where he saw a clothesline rope stuck on both sides of the window. Spider-Man observed the clothesline rope and saw a bunch of clothes hung around the line, including a light brown jacket, grey hoodie and blue jeans. Seeing this as an opportunity to disguise himself, Spider-Man shot his webs at the clothes and pulled them away from the clothesline rope, before hearing a noise coming from outside the balcony and quickly hiding himself in one of the walls.

Sensing something uncanny outside, a middle-aged man rushed to the balcony and opened the door, looking around the window before noticing some of his clothes were missing from the clothesline.

"What the..." The middle-aged civilian uttered in confusion. "I just placed them there a few minutes ago! Whoever stole them is going to pay for this."

Having used the clothes he obtained from the clothesline to hide his Spider-Man suit, Peter walked around the streets of Lower Manhattan and attempted to blend in with the civilians, stopping with them at the green light as the cars passed by before the traffic lights turned red and the civilians walked through the streets. Peter still couldn't make sense of the possibility of passing the streets through the red light and remained confused by this. As he walked around the streets, Peter noticed the reality he was in was far more technologically advanced than his home reality, as he observed the civilians using holographic phones and the various buildings throughout the city being taller and filled with bushes, flowers and plants. Out of all the strange things he had encountered in this universe so far, Peter was left confused by the nature of the buildings he had seen and wondered if someone had planted a field park out of them.

While walking through the streets, Peter came across a newsstand across the streets, where he saw the civilians picking up newspapers. Given the technological nature of this reality, Peter was surprised to see that people were still grabbing newspapers and learn about the latest events. As he reached the newsstand, Peter heard some of the pedestrians talking to one another as they grabbed the newspaper.

"Did you just see what happened today?"

"Yeah. Someone was running around in a Spider-Man suit."

"There's no way it could be him."

Peter walked to the newsstand and grabbed the newspaper, taking a look at a photo of him swinging around the streets on the front page. As Peter took a closer look at the newspaper, he further inspected the content of the newspaper; on the front page of the newspaper was an article written by Ben Urich detailing the appearance of someone dressing up as Spider-Man and swinging around the city, with a photo of Spider-Man shooting his webs and swinging taken by one of the civilians and the words "Could the rumors be true? Is Spider-Man still alive?" written across the photo, and the publisher of the article was the Daily Bugle, who operated as a newspaper outlet in this universe. Peter could feel shock and dread wearing across his face as he looked at the photo and wondered what had happened that made the public react to his presence on the streets and think he was an imposter.

"Oh, my god," Peter muttered to himself. "What the hell is going on here?"

Suddenly, Peter could feel his Spider-Sense ticking off as he sensed something terrible was about occur and his predicament was proven right when he saw a car being thrown at him, causing him to leap in the air and avoid getting hit by it. Upon landing in the air, Peter observed the streets and saw the civilians running away in horror and wondered what could have possibly made them run away. He then turned around and saw a large muscular man with huge brown eagle-like wings, large tail and claws across his hands and feet. His head had taken the shape of a feline beast, with large fangs on the top row of his teeth and long furry mane, and his appearance vaguely resembled the mythological creature from Greek mythology called the Griffin.

Upon seeing the beast flying around and throwing the cars, Peter widened his eyes in shock as it was the first time he had seen an actual monster. Though he had faced monstrous creatures such as the Symbiote and the Lizard, Peter had never actually encountered a huge monster, let alone a large human mutate. As the creature kept attacking the streets and the civilians running away, Peter saw two children playing around, not realizing the terror in front of them.

"Look out!" Peter screamed as he rushed at the two kids.

Upon hearing Peter's scream, the two kids turned around and saw the creature throwing a car at them, before Peter quickly grabbed them, dodged away before the car landed on the ground and placed them on the pavement.

"Careful. No playing on the streets," Peter advised. "You do not want to get hurt out there."

Peter then ran away from the pavement while the children stared at him, overwhelmed by the fact that a stranger had saved them and advised them not to stay away from the streets. The beast, Griffin, continued to terrorize the streets, destroying every car he came across and throwing some of them at the pedestrians, intensifying their fear further as they kept running for their lives while Griffin let out a monstrous roar.

"Well, well, looks like Halloween season came earlier this year," Spider-Man quipped as Griffin turned around and saw him sticking his hands to the building. "But you've picked the wrong place to play dress up!"

Griffin growled as he charged at Spider-Man and punched the building he was in, though Spider-Man leaped away before the creature could attack him, causing him to destroy a portion of the building. Spider-Man then crawled up to him and began wrapping him up with his webs, trapping him.

"Easy there, buddy!" Spider-Man sarcastically remarked. "Be a good boy now."

Unfortunately, the webs weren't enough to neutralize Griffin as the beast freed himself from his restraints and rushed at Spider-Man, who dodged his attacks and attempted to counter back by shooting his webs at him, only for Griffin to remove them off his face and strike him in the face, sending him staggering to the ground. Griffin send grabbed one of the cars and threw it at Spider-Man, intending to kill him. However, as Spider-Man covered himself, he suddenly found himself being saved by a woman with blonde hair and blue eyes, wearing a superhero costume consisting of a black leotard stamped with a golden lightning bolt and a red sash around hips with black domino mask, stiletto gloves and long boots. The woman had grabbed the lower part of the car before it could hit and possibly kill Spider-Man, who lowered his hands and saw the woman holding the car with her super strength.

"Peter?" The woman, Ms. Marvel, uttered as she widened her eyes in shock upon seeing Spider-Man, believing him to be the Peter Parker from her universe, due to the fact he was running around in the Spider-Man suit.

And that's the end of the chapter. In the comics, Griffin was a small-time criminal who was kidnapped by an organization called the Secret Empire, who had transformed Horton into a mutate based on the mythological creature Griffon, with his head based on a lion and his body had resembled an eagle's, as the organization had grafted him wings and claws onto his body permanently. Later, he was ordered by the Secret Empire to kill the X-Man Beast as a part of their campaign against the Brand Corporation, but was defeated by Beast and Angel.

In this universe, Eart-838, Ben Urich was not killed by the Kingpin and ended up working for the Daily Bugle as their editor-in-chef.

The fight between Spider-Man & Ms. Marvel and Griffin will be covered in the next chapter, which serves as a second part of Spider-Man/Peter's journey through Earth-838.
