AN: Just so you know this isn't pure 616 hence why the Earth name was altered so some things might be shifted around, mainly because trying to remember the proper timeline or order of events is hard when comics tend to play fast and loose with their timelines.

Peter and Karen

Chapter 3: Day One

Kara Zor-EL woke up to an unfamiliar bed in an unfamiliar room, looking around she was wondering why she wasn't in her apartment. Then the memories from yesterday started to hit her.

"Oh yeah, new Earth…again…wheeee," She muttered rolling onto her back. She saw her costume there on a chair as she slept in only her panties given she literally had nothing else to sleep in. "God, I need some new cloths, wearing the same thing two days in a row is going to suck, I don't even have a spare costume to wear."

She was thankful that the Fantastic Four were putting her up for the moment, Sue said they could get some shopping done, apparently, they had started with a few essentials online, but they wouldn't arrive until later today.

"Well, I could use a shopping trip to clear my mind," Karen got out of bed and went for the shower in attached bathroom. "Still, I think this guest room is better than my apartment back home."

Thankfully at least the guest room had some generic soap and shampoo, she found in a cabinet a few toothbrushes still in boxes, some unopened box of toothpaste. She was also thankful to find a hairbrush and dryer.

"Thank god for people thinking ahead," Power Girl sighed as she got cleaned up for the day. She eventually came out of the bathroom feeling refreshed in a towel wrapped around herself but then signed when she saw her uniform, her only piece of clothing in this world and she hadn't had a chance to even get it cleaned yet. "I really hope I don't smell because of it."

There was a knock at the door.

"Yes?"

"It's Sue, I got you some spare clothing that might fit."

"Hold on," She quickly grabbed the robe in the bathroom she had found and put it on before opening the door.

"Morning, how did you sleep?" Sue asked with a bundle of clothing in her arms and offering them to her.

"Okay all things considered," She gratefully took them. "I was seriously worried I'd have to wear my uniform again."

"Oh, trust me I know how that can go," Sue was dressed in more casual clothing then the uniform she had been in yesterday. "Granted the uniforms that Reed makes are very comfortable."

"That's true, they look like they fit perfectly from what I saw, that's something most people outside of the hero business don't get. That the clothing we wear has to fit just right," Kara knew full well that if you were going out fighting crime or world threats, having your costume restrict movement, pinch in painful places or rode up on you, well it was very distracting. Taking the clothing she then put them out on the bed to see what she had to work with.

"Part of that is because they are made out of unstable molecules." Sue shrugged.

"They're made out of what?" Power Girl quickly looked at her never hearing about that.

Sue then gave her the quick rundown on the material, how it can alter itself, was very resilient and other properties. Sue wasn't the expert, that was Reed of course but over the years she had learned the basics for the material they used. Kara stood there dumb struck, this was possibly one of the best material she had ever heard of for clothing purposes, especially for heroes.

"Okay where can I get some of that because while my suit it nice, it's nicer not having it torn to shreds all the time."

While her body may be nearly indestructible her clothing sadly wasn't and it often paid the price. She picked up the clothing and went to change in the bathroom.

"We can work something out," Sue told her saying in the main room. "Find anything you like?"

"This might work." She picked out some jeans that were a bit loose in the waist but a belt she picked up helped with that. She found the shoes thankfully fit her and a hoodie. She tried the two shirts but they didn't exactly fit her, maybe if her chest was smaller they would but that was one of the other problems with having her kind of figure, finding clothing that fit and were comfortable.

"Well, you can join us for breakfast before we go out and get you some of your own clothing."

"Sue," Karen said softly and looked at the older blonde with grateful eyes. "Thanks, I mean thank you for everything. This whole situation is scary enough as is but I'm just glad to have met some people that were willing to help me out."

"Well, you don't need to be a super hero to be just kind to someone in trouble." Sue told her placing a hand on the younger woman's shoulder.

As they entered a large are where there was a kitchen off to the side and a large table already with some food on it. She saw the kids there with their father talking about something. She saw Reed stretch his arm out to the small kitchen and heard the sound of an open fridge as he pulled his arm back with a jug of orange juice.

She was more impressed that he got that without looking, she had met both Plastique Man and Elongated Man so this power wasn't anything new to her.

Johnny was there nursing a coffee, but it was the forth member of the family she hadn't seen yet. Ben Grimm the Thing was sitting in his custom-made chair for his size and weight as he piled on the food to his place.

"Ah so this is the dame that old Web Head brought in," The Thing's heavy Brooklyn accent was very noticeable to Power Girl. "Nice ta meet ya, name's Ben Grimm or just Ben."

She didn't even blink at the sight of him, she had seen just as strange and even stranger people in her line of work.

"Nice to meet you," Power Girl sat down at the empty spot in the table.

"I hope you slept well," Reed asked her.

She shrugged, "Good I suppose it's odd waking up in a place that isn't my bed."

"Well hopefully we can get you back home as soon as possible," Reed assured her.

"Thanks, but since I'm stuck here for now, I could enjoy it as a type of vacation, god I can't remember the last time I took time off," She thought back and it had been a very long time. Sure, she took some time off with Atlee when she visited her people but that was just a day.

Thinking about the dark-haired younger woman made her worry how she was doing. She had become friends with her, and she was kind of her unofficial sidekick lately. She also knew that Terra would start to worry when she couldn't get in touch with her soon.

"Well at any rate after breakfast we can hit some stores for you to get some clothing, oh right, Reed?" Sue turned to her husband.

"Yes?"

"She was interested if you could use unstable molecules to make a few copies of her costume." Sue explained.

"That wouldn't be a problem, I have them scanned in from the exam last night so I can easily set the system to make a few extras."

"Thanks, I really appreciate it, so do you wash them or dry clean?" Power Girl asked taking some of the bacon she saw on a platter.

"Wash is fine," Sue explained. "They're actually pretty easy to take care of."

"Yeah, and they hardly stain too," Johnny put in. "If they weren't expensive to make, we could make a killing in the clothing industry."

"I think da Wasp said somethin' like that a few years back," Grimm nodded his head eating some cereal.

"Well, she would know," Johnny nodded as the Wasp did own her own fashion company. It was also the reason she had more costume changes than any other hero he could think of. Power Girl watched all this a little lost, she would have to start studying up on this world. Especially since the last thing she needed to do was accidentally mistake a hero for a villain or vice versa.

True it should be easy to pick out, but some heroes did wear things that normally you'd think a villain would wear. Take Batman for instance all that black and menacing look you'd think 'villain' without any context. There was also the fact then when heroes meet up for the first time there is usually some kind of misunderstanding that caused a fight.

At least for now she saw the FF as good people and Spider-Man so she could go from there. Thinking about the man she wondered what he was doing, he said something about setting her up with an alias so she could at least live here without many problems, hopefully it wouldn't be too long here.

-Peter-

Peter was swinging through the cities on his way to Avengers Tower, it was closer to work than the mansion anyway. He just hopped someone was up, there were a few early risers on the teams so hopefully he wouldn't have to swing by again on his lunch break. He also hoped there wasn't some world ending event coming up or a Hydra attack, or…well the list went on. With the Avengers you could never know what could happen.

Landing onto the pad used for Quinjets he walked to the large glasses doors that lead inside. Well he said 'glass' but he knew them to be transparent metal. Tony never did anything by halves and spared no expense for security after all. He pressed his Avengers Card into the reader as it beeped and opened the doors for him.

"Lucy I'm home," Spider-Man said in his best Ricky Ricardo voice. "Anyone here?"

"This is an early house call visit for you," A female voice got his attention as Jessica Drew the original Spider-Woman came walking out of an adjoining room.

"Yeah sorry about this, kind of had something happen last night and needed help setting up an out of towner with an identity while she's stuck here."

The phrase 'out of towner' was used among the Avengers when dealing with something not from Earth. So Jess nodded her head already putting the pieces together as so why he was here.

"Well Cap is working out so I'll get him, you can wait in the meeting room since we need at least two Avengers for this."

"Sure thing," Spider-Man went to the meeting room, it was a large space with a wall of windows that held a long table in it. "Huh, last time I was in here we were talking about what to do with the Phoenix Force. Man, that was a bad time all around, still not sure how tense it is between the X-Men and Avengers after that."

He didn't have to wait long as Jessica came back with Steve sweaty and in work out clothing.

"So I hear you got an out of towner that needs help?" Steve asked.

"Yeah, so I'll have to explain it all, see I was just doing my thing last evening when…"

After a long explanation about Power Girl, her circumstances and that she was currently boarding with the Fantastic Four both of them listened intently.

"Poor girl," Jessica could feel sympathy for the woman.

"Yes, this isn't easy to wake up to a new world," If anyone actually did know what that was like it was Captain America. One moment it was the 1940's and then he woke up in the future and everything had changed. Even after all these years he was never fully comfortable in this time, sure there were a great many things he appreciated here and some of the social progresses that had been made for women and people of other ethnicities, but it was also so strange at times with how fast things went.

So he could feel for the woman given his own experience was similar to her own.

"Does Reed think he can send her back?" Steve asked.

"He thinks so, he just has to wait for her matter to acclimate to this universe to determine which one she's from." Peter shrugged.

"Well if you can set up a meeting with her, we'll hear her out," Steve told him. "Honestly this might just be a formality to get to know her more, but I don't see any issues with helping her out."

"You didn't get any bad vibes off her, did you?" Jess asked knowing his spider sense would have gone off if she was a threat.

"Nope all quiet on the spider sense front," he replied.

"Well that's helpful then," Steve knew enough to trust Peter's power it had never lied once and he learned when Spider-Man usually shouted out a warning it was best to look out for danger.

"Sure thing although…you might want to keep Tony away for a bit," Peter thought about it.

"Why Tony?" Cap asked.

"The woman is a walking human heart attack Cap, he won't resist," Spider-Man half joked given he was pretty sure Tony would make a pass at the women right off the bat and he wanted her to easy into things before he dropped someone like Tony Stark into her life. Honestly you should be eased anyone into Tony Stark but the with man's personality he would come in like a force of nature.

"Ah, yes that makes sense," Jessica nodded. "We don't need an HR event right off the bat."

"Wait…do we even have an HR department because I got a list of things I could give them," Spider-Man looked at her.

"No we don't and honestly I'm not sure if that's a good thing or not some days," Jessica crossed her arms thinking about it. "Just out of curiosity what are we talking looks wise because you said she was alien but looks like us?"

"Yeah totally human looking," Peter shrugged. "I honestly thought she was, I mean she looks like Captain Marvel and She-Hulk fused only she kept Carol's height and hair and skin tone and as far as Reed could tell no real extra organs or anything. You'd have to look at her DNA to know she wasn't human."

"Huh, sounds like what the Kree did with the original Captain Marvel," Jess mused.

"Well at any rate I'm going to be-" Spider-Man looked at the clock on the wall. "Correct, I am late for work. I'll get in touch after I talk to her and we'll set things up."

"Will do and I'll try and keep Tony busy with something," Steve smiled.

"You're awesome Cap," Peter gave a half-hearted salute before making a dash for the exit. If he hurried then maybe he wouldn't be too late, maybe he could sneak in through the vents and just pretend he had already bee in the building? No way that wouldn't work, badge access wouldn't tag him going in.

He mentally sighed at least his boss didn't chew him out for being late, but he really hated being late for work. Horizon was the best job he got, and he didn't want to push things there. He jumped off the building and prayed nothing went wrong on the way to work, no super villains or car jackings or anything else. Just a nice normal day as he did his best to make a straight line for work.

-Karen and Sue-

"God I can't remember the last time I just wanted to relax and shop," Karen sighed as the two women were walking down New York streets each with a bag.

"I know what you mean," Sue smiled. "I'm so busy with family and hero work it seems like free time is something any of us get."

"Tell me about it," Power Girl nodded. "I had my hero work and run my software company, I remember a few times I get home and fall onto my bed after a fully day and then the alarm going off two seconds later."

"It's not an easy life but it's the life we were given," Sue had a few sleepless days like that.

"Still it's nice to get some new clothing," Karen looked down at her bad. "I'm just glad to find stuff that fits."

"I will admit you do have a figure most women would kill for," Sue honestly admitted. Granted she wasn't bad herself she knew she was what Johnny called a MILF but she was perfectly fine with her body given she only wanted one man to look at her, when he wasn't burying his nose into science that was.

Maybe that was one was the reasons she wore that very revealing outfit for a time. God, what had she been thinking? She was a mother of two and just strutting around in barely anything. Granted she had the body to pull it off but it was one of her life decisions she would never live down. Maybe it was some residue from the whole Malice thing she went through years ago.

"I think we turn plenty of heads together," Karen smiled. "Still, I'm surprised you don't get swarmed by fans, only two people came up to ask for selfies with you."

"People tend to see the uniform, outside of it I'm just a good-looking blonde woman," Sue smiled.

"I think you're right," Kara nodded. "I just wore business suits, have my hair done up and wore glasses and no one put two and two together. Got the idea from my cousin who gets away with just a suit and tie and glasses."

"It's actually surprisingly easy for some people," Sue nodded.

"Unless you wear a full mask like Spider-Man, bet he doesn't have any issues like that."

"I suppose not," Sue nodded.

Karen raises a curious eyebrow. "You don't know who he is under the mask?"

Sue thought about it, for a split second she thought she might have but it was gone again. "I'm not sure anyone does, he's very protective of his identity."

Power Girl again nodded; she knew a few heroes like that that didn't want their real names known. Too many times she could recall what happens when villains know the identities of heroes. Even allies could turn on you like what she heard with Batman and his files on heroes and then there was that whole horrible thing with Jean Loring killing Sue Dibny as well.

It was at that time they were crossing a newsstand when something caught her eye. It was the front page of a paper called the Daily Bugle with an image of Spider-Man fighting with some costume individual with the title. "Spider-Menance Destroys City Block" on the cover.

Sue noticed the taller woman stop and looked at what caught her attention. Sue's mood sours as she sees that headline. "Pay no attention to that garbage."

Power Girl looked back surprised. "I feel like I'm missing something here. He seemed like a perfectly good guy when he was helping me."

"He is," Sue pointed to that paper. "The guy in charge of that so called 'newspaper' has had it out for Spider-Man for years. I swear it should be illegal given all the false stories he comes up with. It because of those articles that he's got such a hard time. Some of the city actually believes it so he's faced with people yelling at him in the streets to even police trying to arrest him."

"Does this go after all heroes?"

"No just him," Sue shook her head. "After we got to know Spider-Man and I mean really get to know him, we pretty much blacklisted anyone from the Bugle. No interviews, no invites to any events or press conferences. The things he writes are so twisted they don't resemble what actually happened to just made up to fit his narrative."

"That's…that's horrible," Power Girl was no stranger to bad press, too many times people tried to call her out on her outfit saying she was 'too sexy' to go out like that. Please, she was certain Wonder Woman actually wore less clothing than her and no one called her out on it like they did with her.

But this was just vindictive to the point of absurdity. "He should sue."

"He did," Sue said as they kept walking. "Got our old friend Jen to do it."

"Is this the same Jen that filled in for Ben I heard about?"

"Yep, Jennifer Walters AKA the She-Hulk but also one hell of a lawyer."

"A superhero that's a lawyer, I feel there's a joke in there about that being an oxymoron." Karen smiled.

"Oh I bet she's heard them all by now," Sue shook her head. "Anyways he was winning but suddenly just dropped everything. He just threw out the case but only with a certain deal if he did. The deal was that the man he was suing one, J. Jonah Jameson and the guy that keeps taking pictures of Spider-Man for him, both had to spent time in these large chicken suits for something."

Power Girl snickered. "Oh my god that's hilarious."

"I still don't get it, he had in in the bag," Sue sighed. "Oh well it was his choice and he did knock him down a peg with that. Still, you'd think after that the man would learn his lesson, he's even running for mayor now."

"Wait, what?" Karen asked.

"I know, how I have no idea he's even responsible for accidentally creating a super villain the Scorpion, actually I think that there was another too but he did get charged for it." Sue tried to remember but it was years ago and not exactly something that had affected her family. There were just so many events that happened in the hero community that only the major events that affected a lot of them were well known.

Karen was about to protest that but then she remembered how Lex Luthor of all people became President of the United States. Granted it hadn't been for long but if that man could gain the highest office in the country, well after that some newspaper editor with a grudge didn't seem so impossible in comparison.

"I got a bad feeling about this," She signed.

"Well with luck Reed can get you home before the election," Sue told her. "Now how about we get some more clothing."

"Please, I could use something less depressing to think about."

"Then let's see about some more clothing, I know of a nice store down the block," Sue told her.

"Great and again, thanks for all of this. I honestly wouldn't know what my first step would be without all the help."

"We're happy to help plus you seem like a nice woman whose had a lot happen to her in life, I'm surprised you're dealing with all of this so strongly."

"Trust me I was having an emotional breakdown when Spider-Man found me, and I might have another one tonight when things start to really hit me, that I could be stuck here for who knows how long and how worried I am about the people back home." Power Girl sighed taking a breath. "I'm just taking it one day at a time and hoping I can get back soon."

"Well, we will, you have my word on that Power Girl," Invisible Woman honestly told her.

It was then that she realized she hadn't told anyone her name other than that while arriving here. Sure, she didn't just tell everyone but honestly, she wanted to show that she could trust them given everything they were doing to help her. Besides she picked the name Karen Starr as her Earth name so she could interact with the people of Earth.

"Karen, you can call me Karen," Power Girl told her.

Sue smiled, "Nice to meet you, Karen."

TBC…

Just so everyone knows the spell Dr Strange cast is still in effect at this time no one knows who Spider-Man is under the mask except for Mary Jane.
