Naruto looked at the blade that was forged for him, the glowing curved green 3 foot long blade led into a pitch black hilt that was speckled with tiny white dots that twinkled like stars. He took a deep breath as he gripped the sword with both hands before he let out the breath and Kurama's chakra covered his body and he entered KCM.
The blade greedily sucked that all up and the golden form around Naruto flickered as the sword changed from glowing green to glowing golden.
Naruto felt the sword vibrate in his hands and prepared himself as he slashed it into the void of space. He wasn't sure that it would work, but he had been willing to try. Which is why he was pleasantly surprised when a small golden tear appeared where the blade had ripped through the air, the small line flashed a bright blue and Naruto stepped towards the tear before looking around at the empty forge around him.
"Hopefully this isn't a one way trip" said Naruto as he moved to step into the tear in space before he dropped to knees in pain, clutching his stomach as he felt a massive wave of energy fly over the universe.
He crawled forward, making his way into the glowing blue tear and felt his body get sucked through the portal and suddenly he was falling from the sky.
The forest below him was rushing up at him fast and it was only through the pulse of Nature Chakra that his father sent through his body that Naruto survived the fall. Once again, he was happy that his father lived in his arms.
Naruto's body easily tore through the tree tops and he winced even with the protection of Sage Mode as he body plummeted through the various branches before crashing to a stop when he slammed into the ground, face first.
"So, where are we exactly?" asked Naruto as he climbed back up to his feet and dusted himself off. The long fall had caused his clothes to take on a rather dirty state.
'If the sword did what we think it did, we are about 5 miles north of Konoha' answered Minato
Naruto nodded before he frowned "That wave of energy, that could only mean that Thanos won"
'You want to fix that, you're going to have to train here. I hope my old master Jiraiya is still around' replied Minato
Naruto couldn't argue with the logic of his father's plan. Craft the sword that would allow him to travel through time and space and return to their home world, learn as much as he could and return back home to defeat Thanos.
'What do you think?' asked Naruto to Kurama or at least he was trying to. The lack of a reply made him frown and his hand dropped to his stomach. He was reminded of the burning sensation that he had felt in his stomach right before he traveled back to this world.
Naruto's thought process was interrupted by a foursome of people dressed in blue shirts and pants with a green vest over the long sleeved blue shirts. Their foreheads were all covered in the same headband that when he drew on Minato's memories, was able to identify as the symbol of Konoha.
"Quite the welcome party for little ol' me" commented Naruto in his native tongue as he eyed the four shinobi that approached him.
Before they could say anything the sword that Naruto used to travel to this world fell from the sky and was set to land right next to Naruto, who grabbed it before it could hit the ground and sheathed it in the sheath that he had made for it.
"Listen, my name is Naruto Uzumaki, I am trying to get in touch with the leader of the HIdden Leaf Village, I need to have a talk with them" said Naruto
Apparently he said something as the four green vested men launched themselves at him and Naruto rolled his eyes. They were slow, much slower than he had been expecting and he weaved in and out of their swinging hands and feet. He grit his teeth as one of them shot flames out of their mouth and he simply allowed his chakra to flood his body and protect him from the flames.
As he walked out of the flames, Naruto shook in head is annoyance as he tsk'd them and their efforts.
He blurred forward, faster than any of them can see and slammed his fist into one of the four's stomach so hard that he felt the bone in his hand rattle as the man coughed up the contents of his stomach before dropping to the ground knocked out.
"Now, like I was saying, I just want to talk. We can do this the easily way or the hard way, that's up to you" said Naruto to the remaining trio of Konoha Shinobi
The lead one slipped out of his combat stance and said "Ok, but any funny business and you'll pay for it with your life"
Naruto smiled and a shadow clone popped into existence next to him to pick up the konoha shinobi that he had knocked out.
Back in the MCU: Titan
Peter was tinkering with the chest piece that Tony had left him before he had become dusted, before he was left all alone. There had been multiple rotting or damaged ships on the planet, and in the last couple of hours, Peter had been to all of them. He was trying to understand how to work them and that's when he remembered that someone much smarter had left him an advanced AI that would probably be able to help him in this situation.
"Huh, this is such a strange universe" said a voice that Peter had heard before, causing him to whirl around to see a heavily scarred Dr. Strange standing behind him.
"You're that wizard dude" greeted Peter upon seeing Strange, "Dr. Stephen Strange right?"
"That is correct, you're Peter Parker. One of them at least" said Strange as his eyes scanned the ruined landscape of the planet.
"Not to be rude, but you look different than the last time that I saw you. What happened to you?" asked Peter
Strange did not answer, instead opening up his necklace and pulling out … something. Peter wanted to say it was the time stone, but it looked very different than when Strange had handed it over to Thanos hours ago.
The last time Peter had seen it, the time stone had been this tiny green little gumdrop sized orb. What this scarred Strange pulled out was larger, it was about the size of a clove of garlic now, the once purely light green orb was now a murky dark green with red splatter inside of it.
Strange used the stone, the energy pulsed and Peter could tell something was off about the way the stone was working and Peter watched as ghostly images formed around them as Strange rewatched the battle of the Avengers vs Thanos on Titan.
"Something has gone terribly wrong, but don't worry young Parker, I can fix this. You shouldn't be here." said Strange before he turned to look at Peter.
The red spots in the stone glowed and Peter watched as Strange used the weird time stone to pull out the ghostly form of Tony right before Thanos stabbed him as Tony protected Peter.
The stone hummed in Strange's hand but Peter watched as the form of Tony solidified and Peter looked at Tony with wide eyes.
"What are you doing?" asked Peter
"Correcting the timeline, my child" responded Strange as his magic pulsed once more and Tony Stark was alive and well in front of both of them.
He gasped as he was faced down, preparing for a stab that would never come this time, not that Tony would know that.
"Stark, welcome back to land of the living" said Strange
Tony rolled over onto his back and he looked at Strange and Peter, "What happened?"
Strange once again looked away from the armored hero and out over the ruins of Titan as if trying to see what happened before saying "The timeline had a couple of mistakes in it, but don't worry about it. Stark, you need to return to Earth. As for you, Peter Parker, you're not supposed to be here, you're about five years too early. Let's correct that"
Before Peter could say a word, Strange hit him in the chest and he was sent flying, the world around him warping into a mass of rainbow colored blurs before he crashed into a wall and slid down to the ground, resting on his ass.
Groaning as he looked around, he found himself in New York City, much to his surprise. But a quick scan of his surroundings told him that this was not the same NYC that he grew up in nor was it the one that he was used to. The closest newspaper stand said April 28th, 2014 which was years ago in his world.
His mask retracted back into his suit and Peter shivered as his senses demanded that he look to the left. His eyes widened as he saw a small yet familiar sight, a slender lanky figure swung through the air from around the corner and dove from the swing towards a car, only to stop in front of it and stop the car with their hands.
Peter gasped in shock as the red and blue colored figure stopped a speeding car with nothing but his hands. A pair of tracksuit wearing men hopped out of the car wielding semi-automatic rifles and Peter moved before he could think, his mask springing back over his face.
Webbing up a metal newspaper holder, Peter launched it at the gun wielding men, catching the man on the right side off guard. The metal container slammed into the man, pinning him to the car as he slipped unconscious.
"What the fuck" swore the remaining gun toting man as he glanced to see Peter in his Iron-Spider suit.
Now that Peter was closer, he could see that this other figure wore a similar suit to his normal one. The shoulders and most of the torso was red with a black web design, as were the forearms, hands and lower legs and feet.. But the arms and sides of the torso part of the suit was blue. The mask was different with a larger set of eyes and the spider symbol on this suit more of a sewn in design than the technology implant that Peter's suit wore.
The other Spider-Man shot a web at the gun and yanked it from the man's hands before leaping forward and slamming his fist into the man's stomach, causing the man to slump over from the force of the blow. He stepped back and allowed the man to drop to the ground before webbing him to the ground, flipping over the car and webbing the other man that had been pinned to the car by the newspaper holder, to the car as well.
"Hey kid, that's a nice suit and I gotta hand it to you that your webbing wasn't half bad either but you should leave it to the professionals" stated the other Spider-Man, his tone was older and somewhat more cocky than Peter was used to hearing. Or maybe it was that he rarely if ever got the chance to hear himself speak.
"My name is Peter Parker … um I was sent here by a wizard" said the MCU Spider-Man causing the other Spider-Man to tilt his head in confusion.
The older Spider-Man couldn't help but ask "Bro, what are you talking about?"
MCU Spider-Man wasn't really sure himself, he was still very much new to this whole … experience and was very much unsure of how to explain this.
Allowing his mask to retract, Peter held up his hands and said "Listen, I know this is going to sound strange but I'm telling you the truth. My name is Peter Parker, I got bitten by a radioactive spider when I was 15 and been Spider-Man ever since"
The other Spider-Man pulled off his mask to reveal a handsome face. The tanned skin, the long spiky hair.
He looked at the MCU Peter and said "You seem to know my origin story, just who the hell are you?"
"I think that sent me here, to learn from you" said the MCU Peter
The other Spider-Man's phone rang and he immediately slipped it out of his costume and answered it, "Hey Gwen! … Yeah I stopped the Tracksuit Mafia, there has been a slight uptick in their activity, I don't know what is going on with them. It might be time to pay the Big Guy a visit"
The person, this Gwen girl, on the other end of the phone must of said something that caused this other Peter Parker to nod as he smiled into the phone before hanging up and looking back at MCU Peter.
"So, you said something about a Doctor?" asked the older Peter
"Yeah, Dr. Stephen Strange" replied the younger Peter
"Ok, I'm about to take a lunch break, let's swing up to the Empire State Building and compare notes" said the older Peter
The younger Peter nodded and said "Can we grab some pizza?"
"Yeah, of course" said the older Peter as they both slipped their masks back on and he glanced at his younger counterpart.
"Double cheese with garlic butter on the crust" answered the younger Peter before his older counterpart could ask the question.
"Well, at least you have good taste in pizza," said the older Peter with a smirk.
Back in the MCU:
Tony looked at the scarred Dr. Strange, his hand grasping his chin as he listened to the sorcerer tell him how poorly the future could and would get.
"Ok, so what do you want me to do exactly Doc? I couldn't even beat Thanos with your help here on Titan. If I go back to Earth, there will be no difference in the outcome. He's already won" said Tony with a defeated look on his face.
"You're not seeing the larger picture Tony, I broke the fabric of Time and Space to come to this universe. I've sent different versions of Naruto, Steve, and Carol out into the multiverse, which we know and understand frighteningly little about" replied Strange, "I'm not asking you to defeat Thanos by yourself. I'm not asking you to sacrifice your life, I am asking you to play your part"
Tony bit his lip, sucking in air as he pondered over the options in front of him, "Give it to me again Strange"
"Peter was never supposed to survive the dusting, you were. Thanos is a petty bitter man who saw your sacrifice and thought to undo it. Naruto is off on an adventure of his own growth, to become powerful enough to challenge Thanos. You were supposed to live, start your family until you were approached by Steve to reunite the Avengers and go on a time traveling mission that results in you making a snap yourself, saving the world at the cost of your own life. I am trying to offer you a way out of that Tony, listen to me and my plan and things will come to pass in a way that ends with you holding your family, retired not dead"
"Kind of an easy decision to make them, If I can have my cake and eat it to, I will do so" said Tony
Back with Naruto:
Naruto was led through the village, his eyes bouncing from building to building as he took in the strange design of the village.
It was one thing to see them in your memories, it was another to see them in person and take in that he really was in a strange new world.
His clone was still carrying the knocked out man, the other three shinobi flanked him in a triangle formation, clearly still seeing him as a threat. Which was smart for them to do so, Naruto knew he was dangerous.
They arrived at a circular shaped building and Naruto could feel his dad hum with excitement inside of the seal on his forearm. This was clearly an important building in the village. He was ushered inside and led up a spiral staircase and arrived at a door before a quiet yet strong male voice said "Enter"
One of the men opened the door for Naruto, whose clone handed the man he was carrying before popping. Naruto walked inside and his eyes scanned the room, it felt familiar to what he had seen in his father's memories, but also like he had been here himself.
"Hello, my shinobi sensed a large chakra source simply appear right outside of our village walls. I take it that you were the source of that?" asked the tanned elderly man in the white robes with the triangular hat.
"You would be correct in thinking that, I haven't introduced myself yet, sometimes I forget my manners. My name is Naruto Uzumaki" answered Naruto, as he took a step forward, extending his hand to shake the old man's hand.
The didn't rise from his seat, he stared at the hand that Naruto had extended towards him, before his eyes traveled upwards to the rest of Naruto.
"You are Naruto Uzumaki? I find that a little hard to believe" commented the old man
"Why is that?" asked Naruto with a raised eyebrow
"Because Naruto Uzumaki, while missing, would only be turning 7 years old in a couple of weeks. You're much too old to be him. I appreciate the joke, but if you do not leave now, you'll find my appreciation growing thinner" replied the old man
"Hiruzen, the last words that Kushina and I said to you were "Take care of Naruto for us" and "I want him to be seen as a hero". You promised me that both would come true" said Minato through Naruto's mouth
Hiruzen glared at the blond man before him and said "You claim to be Naruto, but yet speak with Minato's voice recounting his final moments. Interesting"
Naruto lifted up his left arm and showed off the seal that wrapped around his arm, "My father lives in this seal on my arm"
Hiruzen made a sour face and Naruto lifted his shirt and channeled some chakra, revealing the seal on his stomach.
"You can't fake this old man" said Naruto
Hiruzen let a sigh and then a chuckled "I'm getting much to old for this"
With Peter:
Peter was shivering as he was the last living thing on the planet, a fact that was weighing heavily on his mind. What was he going to do? He was not really prepared for this type of situation as Naruto and Tony Stark had usually taken care of these types of situations for him. As much as he wished he could rely on them, he knew for a fact that he was all alone, all alone on this strange planet where he and the Avengers had tried to give their best effort into stopping Thanos.
He dropped down onto his backside, his metallic armor shining in the fading light of the planet's sun. He looked up at the discombobulated sky, the moon was missing chunks and the Sun was shining in a manner that didn't provide much light.
He let out a sigh as he was not really content … no, he was far from it but he was accepting of his new situation.
Peter lurched up from his laying down position as a hand had crept closer to his body. His eyes trained on the figure of his older lankier counterpart.
"Easy bro" said the other Spider-Man, as he dropped down on a chair next to the bed that Peter had fallen asleep on, a box of pizza in his hand.
"So, you're Peter Parker, I'm Peter Parker. You're Spider-Man, I'm Spider-Man." commented the other of the two as he opened the box of pizza and grabbed a slice of pizza. The cheese stretched and eventually broken when the older Peter bit it.
"Yes, for the most part. My name is Peter Thomas Parker" replied the MCU Peter (Now to be written as Peter T)
"Ah, first real difference besides the appearance, my full name is Peter Andrew Parker" replied the pizza chomping Peter A.
"We can call each other A and T to make things easier" reasoned Peter T.
"It would be like having the brother that I always wanted and never got," said Peter A.
"Yeah, I never had any brothers myself. My parents died when I was so young and Aunt May and Uncle Ben never had any of their own before he died. I guess the closest thing that I have to siblings would be the Avengers. I mean Naruto, is like a snarky older brother. Wanda is a supportive older sister. Clint and Tony are like cool uncles" explained Peter T.
"Sounds nice, I wish I was in a band" replied Peter A as he pushed the box of pizza into Peter T's hands.
"The Avengers aren't a musical man, they're Earth's Mightiest Heroes. How did you defeat Thanos by yourself?" asked Peter T as he grabbed a slice of Pizza
"Thanos? Which crazy guy in a suit was he?" asked Peter A
"He was a purple alien that liked magic space rocks and used their magic to kill half of the universe" replied Peter T, "You've never heard of him?"
"Can't say that I have, things are a bit simpler here" replied Peter A, "I'm just a normal friendly neighborhood Spider-Man. I don't fight aliens"
"That sounds much safer" commented Peter T causing both of them to laugh.
"So, tell me, why haven't you been freaking out about trying to go home?" asked Peter A
"I don't know, probably because I was sent here by a wizard that could see the future. I was sent here for a reason, if he thinks I should be here, then I should be here." replied Peter T
"Fair enough" agreed Peter A, "Got anyone back home who is going to miss you?"
"Obviously Aunt May, probably any of the surviving members of the team" answered Peter T.
"No girlfriend?" asked Peter A
"No, there is this girl who is weird and quirky that I like, but it feels like she doesn't know that I exist, but at the same time she has her eye on me, if that makes sense" replied Peter T as he grabbed another slice of pizza.
"You should ask her out, in my experience, girls are waiting on you to make the first move" said Peter A as he burped before tossing Peter T a bottle of water.
Peter A's phone and he flipped over to pick it up, "Gwen, what's up?"
"He did what?"
"There has to be a back up plan for when there is a city wide black out"
Peter T watched as Peter A asked question after question before pulling on his mask.
"You don't have to come with me, this is just another one of my crazy weirdos that I have to deal with" said Peter A
"You know that is not who I am" said Peter T
Peter A chuckled before he said "Head to the power grid, I have to go meet Gwen real quickly"
Peter T nodded and Peter A watched him swing off before jumping out of the window of his studio and racing through the city to meet Gwen.
He saw Gwen standing next to a police officer directing traffic and when he landed the cop yelled "Spider-Man" through the blowhorn, hurting his ears.
Gwen rolled her eyes and said "We need jumper cables and copper wires to magnetize his web shooters so that he can actually fight this guy."
The cop looked back and forth between the two of them and said "Ain't even the strangest request today, I got some stuff back in my trunk"
The cop popped his trunk and hood, before running to the trunk and throwing the cables to Gwen and the copper pipers to Spider-Man
Peter A wrapped the copper pipers around his web slingers and Gwen connected the jumper cables to the pipers before giving the Cop a thumbs up, the sign to start his car. Peter A felt the sting of electricity flow through his web slingers, the sting biting into his arms before he smiled.
Gwen's keys stuck to his web slinger and he gave the cop a thumbs up.
"You did it babe" said Peter A
"Yeah, this is why you were only second in our class at Midtown" teased Gwen
"Of course" agreed Peter A, "Rub it in while you're at it"
An explosion of electricity occurred above them, nearly causing a business sign to topple over and down onto the streets.
"I gotta go" said Peter A, as he realized that the situation was getting worse and Peter T probably needed his help.
"I'm coming with you" stated Gwen, as if it was a fact
"You're not coming with me" retorted immediately Peter A,
"Yes, I am" said Gwen, her tone growing sharper
"It's too dangerous" reasoned Peter A, "I can't afford to lose you, I can't risk you in this fight"
"I'm coming" said Gwen, with a firm tonw, "I've seen the grid specs and I know how to reset the system"
Peter A put his hand up to stop her from speaking but, Gwen continued "I'm coming with you! You need me!"
"You're right, I do need you. You're coming with me! Shut the thing" said Peter A pointing at the hood of the car. Before he webbed Gwen's hand to the hood of the car.
"Sorry. I love you. Don't hate me" said Peter before he webbed off into the sky/
With Peter T:
Peter T arrived at the sight of the downed power grid and saw a large clock tower not the far in the distance, the clock that, like much of the city, was not working.
"You know Spider-Man, I designed this power grid, now I plan on taking away the power that I gave to them" said the blue electric based villain
"I don;t think that's very nice of you, what happened to sharing is caring?" asked Peter T
"You don't need to share when you're a God" said Electro
"A god named Static Shock?" quipped Peter T
He dodged a bolt of lightning, swinging from one power tower to the next, avoiding any of the major blasts of energy that were being sent at him.
"I thought Gods were perfect beings, but you're not even the best electric guy that I know, Thor would hate that you're trying to steal his thing" taunted Peter T as he spun around the tower before a blue bolt of energy grazed him and he was sent flying to through the air.
A web stuck to his chest and Peter T was yanked out of the air and towards Peter A, who was standing on top of another tower.
"Nice shit talking, but you gotta talk the talk, not just talk the talk" commented Peter A to Peter T before a cop car showed up.
Peter A jumped in front of the car, right as a bolt of lightning was about to strike it and his newly magnetized web shooters allowed him to redirect the electricity.
Peter T dropped down next to the ground and said "You must be Gwen"
She looked at him with shocked eyes and Peter T said "Long explanation, we don't have the time. You are here for a reason right?"
Gwen nodded and she pointed up to the top of the building connected to the power grid, "I'm going to reset it"
Peter T nodded and webbed up to the top of the building before slinging them up to the top, kicking through the glass before putting her down. Peter T watched as Peter A shot webs all around the grid, connecting to tower after tower, before connecting all of the webs near his chest.
Gwen must have known something Peter T didn't as she reset the power grid and Peter A used it to blast an orange bolt of lightning at Electro, causing him to explode in a burst of blue light.
Gwen was down the stairs before Peter T could do anything, his body was tingling as it screamed to him that danger was near. But he couldn't see where it could be coming from.
Gwen was coming outside the building, and Peter A said to her, "I think we can still make your flight"
A crackling laugh was heard echoing through the air, a glowing green orb crashed into the building and Peter T was forced to hold the ceiling up to prevent it from crushing him and a man on a glider landed between Peter A and Gwen.
The man, glanced back and forth between Peter A's figure and Gwen's. He looked at Peter A and smiled from ear to ear, the kind that could only be seen on the criminally insane.
"Peter … when you said Spider-Man said no … you meant that you said no" said the man on the hovering glider in an airy tone, as if each breath was a massive task for him.
"Harry, what did you do?" asked Peter A as he realized that this transformed mad man on the glider was his former friend, Harry Osborn.
"What you made me do" replied Harry, "You said that you were my friend. I needed you and you rejected me. You BETRAYED ME"
Peter A shook his head, his tone full of sorrow and sympathy, "No, I was trying to protect you. Your genetic structure was unstable, I was trying to save you from yourself, from making a mistake"
"LOOK AT ME, YOU AND YOUR DNA DID THIS TO ME" roared Harry as he pointed to his transformed face
"We can fix this, we can fix you" said Peter A with his hands up, trying to calm Harry before he did anything crazy.
"HAVEN'T YOU DONE ENOUGH" screamed Harry before he whispered "You took away my life, now I'm going to take away yours"
Peter A was too slow to react before Harry turned around and grabbed Gwen, taking her with him up into the sky. Peter A was quick to web after them, launching himself up into the air, his arms stiff with fear as Gwen's terrorized screams echo'd in his mind.
"Harry, put her down" pleaded Peter A, as he continued to swing after them, shooting web after web at Harry's Glider.
Harry was high above the clock tower at this point, with Peter A standing on the glass ceiling of the building.
"Harry, stop being a coward and put her down. This is between you and I" said Peter A from below.
Harry nodded, "You're right, poor choice of words tho" as he flung her down towards Peter A with all of his might.
Peter A's heart spasmed in his chest as a ball of hot lead exploded in his stomach, fear spreading through his mind as he saw Gwen failing towards him. Without a single thought, Peter A jumped up to meet Gwen in the air, spinning so that they crashed through the glass ceiling with him on the bottom.
The glass shards ate into his back, the burrowing shards stinging as he crashed into the maintenance railing for the clock tower. Gwen gasped in pain, her breathing heavy as she struggled to come to terms with what was happening.
She didn't have much time because as soon as Peter A asked "Are you ok?", she didn't have time to answer as another Goblin bomb was dropped and the walkway they were laying on was destroyed in an explosion.
Peter A gripped the side of the walkway and grabbed the screaming Gwen, "I got you" before he shot web at her wrist and lowered her onto one of the gears for the clock tower. It was just in time as Harry came down in a nosedive trying to hit Peter A with his glider. Peter A dodged, webbing up the sides of the tower trying to stop Harry.
Gwen was forced to walk on the gears of the clock tower, to avoid being crushed by the rotating metal. Peter A knocked Harry on the glider and it went crashing down through the gears of the tower, sending Gwen falling towards the bottom of the tower. But Peter A quickly webbed her and tried to pull her up. But Harry grabbed him from behind and started choking Peter A. The webbing that held Gwen got caught in a gear and Peter A twisted to avoid a stab by Harry.
He webbed Harry's arm to a hear before webbing through a gap in the metal and wrapping it around Harry's neck, He kicked a gear and the web tugged on Harry's neck, but when he glanced down, he realized that by doing so, he was about to cut the web holding Gwen up with some lower gears.
He shoved his foot into the hears, but he couldn't stop it, he was only slowing it down. The gears finally went over the bump of his foot and he looked down at Gwen.
"Peter" she whispered and the web snapped, sending her towards the ground in a free fall. It was like slow motion for Peter A. He saw her falling in slow motion, his body moving without him thinking. He launched himself down towards her, debris falling all around her, his mind doing the math faster than he had ever done anything,
He shot a web at her, but he knew it was already too late, she was falling too fast and he was too far away. The web shot out, a tiny silky hand that shot forward faster than he could move. The web slipped perfectly in between spinning gears and Peter A could see the tears in Gwen's eyes as she realized that it was too late. This was it, she was going to die.
That ball of hot lead returned to Peter A's stomach, exploding more and more and tears welled up in his eyes under his mask. She was less than 5 feet from the ground when his web reacher stomach, but there was nothing for him to hold onto.
'Please stay with me, please don't let this be our end. I need you, my sweet Gwen' thought Peter A when his eyes widened as Peter T, in a dusty and ripped up suit, appeared at the bottom of the tower and leapt up into the air, his arms wrapping around Gwen as he almost quite literally grabbed her from death's grip.
Peter A landed nearly at the same time as Peter T, pulling off his mask. He wrapped his arms around both of them and his strength nearly crushed them as he hugged them.
"I … I … I thought I lost you" stammered Peter A in Gwen's ear before he pulled back letting go of Peter T, but kept Gwen in his arms as he kissed with her force, something she kindly returned.
When they broke apart, he rested his forehead on her forehead and looked into her eyes, no more words were spoken as they were able to say everything that they wanted to say with just a look between them.
Peter A didn't release Gwen as he turned to look at Peter T, "You did it, you save her when I couldn't"
"It what I do" commented Peter T pointing at Peter A, "It's what you do, it's what we do"
Peter A let a small smile grace his face and Peter T turned as a shimmering golden portal opened up next to them.
"That's my ride home" said Peter T gesturing to the magical portal, "I think my time here is up"
"Let me come with you" said Peter A, "You just helped me save my world, let me help you save your world"
"I can't promise you that you'll be able to come back to this world. I can't promise that you would see things that wouldn't change your life for the worst. You're coming into a literal war for the sake of the universe"
Peter A looked at Gwen who was already staring at him, "You know what I'm going to ask you, I'll try to come back when I can"
Gwen touched his face and said "Peter, I actually have a different idea in mind. We both have had the worst luck in this world, what if we travel to his world and start over. I was going to die moments ago and all I could think about was how I wanted to spend the rest of my life with you"
"What about our families?" asked Peter A
"It's safer for them if we don't stay here Peter, you're an Amazing Spider-Man, but you're only one man. You invite trouble, think of this as a chance to start over" replied Gwen
Peter A nodded and grabbed her and before she grabbed Peter T's hand and they all walked into the portal together.
They emerged on the other side and found themselves standing in front of an army of people. A large purple being with a large dual sided sword standing in front of them. But they were not alone standing before them, as Peter T saw Captain America, Tony, Thor, Wanda, Vision, standing in front of an army of Black Panther, several X-Men like Storm, Cyclops, and Logan as well other people that he didn't recognize.
"Avengers Assemble" shouted Steve as he tightened the forearm latch of his shield, his voice carrying weight and power despite his beaten up side.
There was a green rip in the sky and 5 figures dropped from the ground in a 1-2-3 triangle formation, the lead one having spiky blond hair and a sword strapped across his back.
"I'm sorry about being late to the party, but I had to go grab some of my friends" said the man in the front of the triangle closest to Thanos' army, revealing it to be Naruto.
Peter T gasped as he realized that Naruto had brought with him, the Winter Solider, Natasha, a pale white girl with long blonde hair in a black suit with a glowing pink outline, and Wade in a different suit, this one being a red and black full body tactical suit houses a number of pockets containing multiple types of guns, grenades, sai, and knives. The suit now had two holsters on his back to house his katanas, but also with a teleporter on his wrist.
"The Maelstrom" greeted Thanos
"The purple bitch who I've been chasing across the universe" said Naruto
"I broke your neck once, I will rip your head off this time" tsk' Thanos
"It's been a long five years, I'm not the same as I once was," replied Naruto as the world started to shake around him and he entered KCM mode, but this time instead of a yellow energy cloak, he glowed a deep orange.
A/N: And this was part 1 of the 2 part series known as 5 Years So Far. I know ya have questions, they will be answered in due time. Also I wrote most of this before Spider-Man No Way Home came out. Although I am seeing it on December 18th, so I might make some edits. As for why Andrew Garfield's Spider-Man is in this story now, he is honestly my favorite Spider-Man, even if he doesn't have the best movies. He did a good job, the script was just terrible.
Next chapter will reveal more Tony and Naruto timeline of the 5 year so far arc and then we will get into Endgame and that will be about 3 chapters long. So there might only be about 4 more chapters of this story, which seems crazy to me. I never once thought that I would write something that so many people would read, I am thankful for everyone who has been part of this journey with me. Only other story arc that I might cover after endgame is the Galactus storyline that I teased, but if y'all don't want that, this story might just finish with endgame.
As always feel free to leave a review or PM on here. Or follow me on twitter at HKM_FF and message me there. Good night y'all, happy holidays.
