This is a Spiderman, Marvel, DC Crossover Fanfiction Only.
This was not the way either Harry and Peter ever believed this would ever happen in their lives, Peter was standing right next to one of his oldest friends, who according to Peter had gone insane with the desire to kill him after the events that lead to the supposed death of the father of his friend, and Harry believing that Spiderman had killed him.
He went as far as to treat Peter as a lab research subject and studied everything he could about him to the point that Harry was very much determined and ready to avenge the death of his father, throwing caution in the wind known his strength was not enough to defeat Spiderman, he perfected the serum that had a side effect that drove the user insane, and now he was the new Green Goblin.
He was ready to kill Peter when they were both shocked to realize that the previous Green Goblin wearing a red and almost demonic version of the Goblin suit appeared before the two friends laughing like an absolute maniac while trying to bomb the both of them into oblivion with these strange pumpkin-shaped bombs.
"Well if it isn't Norman's little brat, I always told him you were worthless and that he should not focus so much on you, or your future, but no, that idiot Norman had his useless emotional sentiment about both of you, and look, his brat took after me instead of that idiot, and the other boy he loved is still feeling guilty to seeing him die and be unable to save him."
The demonic goblin looked at the way the two friends realized what he just said, "The two boys who he kept on saying would-be heroes and that he was ever so proud of you two, the two brats that he wouldn't shut up about how much he loved as his sons, and look at you, at each other's throat isn't family love grand?"
Peter was not liking the implications and looked at the goblin while catching one of his bombs and throwing it in the air, "Hey how about less sarcasm and a little explanation on what the hell is going on his Osborn?"
That is the thing that made the demonic goblin glare at Peter, "Get it straight through your dense skull webhead, I am the green goblin before that brat stole that from me, The one that died and you watch kill himself when he tried to save you from my attack was that idiot Norman, sure a person died but it set me free. Now thanks to you Spidey, I am free to destroy anything I want."
Harry looked at Peter and realized that he had accused his old friend of doing something without having any evidence, fueled by the hate and need for revenge, "Well Spiderman it seems we were both wrong, that ain't my father, and the one that killed him was not you, You really should have told me the truth and saved us a lot of grief."
Peter landed right next to Harry on his glider and looked at him, "Like I didn't know that, I wanted to tell you but your dad made me promise not to tell you the truth. It was his last wish so I had to do it, So any ideas how we can take care of the demon, or are we going to just try and get lucky?"
Harry looked at him and glared at the man still mocking him and Peter, "Luck has nothing to do with it, you distract him and I will use one of my little inventions and we can send that demon back into hell where it belongs. I will show you how a true goblin does battle!"
The demonic goblin looked almost amused when he was caught in the webs and when Harry threw one of his sphere bombs, but at the last second, the demonic goblin pulled out a strange rainbow-colored orb, grabbed the bomb Harry threw at it, and with his demonic fire he fused them. "I don't say this often but thanks for the help, Junior!"
That second he threw the fused explosive up in the air causing what seemed to be so much damage to Harry, Peter, and the Oscorp building that it seems like they were all going to be torn to pieces. That is when out of the building two black masses came rushing towards them and Peter could not believe it as he saw a pair of unknown symbiotes wrap around him and Harry.
"Just my luck, a Symbiote just happens to be there and in my worst moment it tried to take over my body, typical." That is when he began to feel his body healing at an accelerated rate, As his body healed he heard a voice that almost reminded him of a sweet young woman with such a caring tone that it almost sounded friendly. "While yes, I am my sister are symbiotes, we hardly came to you to make a meal out of you we came to bond with you to save your lives. I see you met my emotionally traumatized older brother, You have nothing to fear from me, I am here to help you and I only speak the truth."
Peter decided to give this symbiote the benefit of doubt, but considering how Venom had made his life a living hell it should speak volumes about the level of patience he was showing. "Alright, do you know where we are because this doesn't look like the place I remember last?" The symbiote simply didn't say anything for a second and then decided to tell him.
"I was locked in a lab being subjected to the rudest and horrible treatment anyone can imagine, so I did not get a chance to see much of the city near the building where we found you, but somehow it seems we are being transported to some other plane of existence, at least that is what I learned searching through the collective knowledge of my kind."
Harry was not moving at all, he was completely covered by the symbiote that is the sister of the one covering him, and for some odd reason, Harry was not making a sound, not even a whimper. "I sure hope Harry is doing alright." That is when he heard another voice, a much more mature and determined-sounding voice.
"The damage on his body is much more severe than anything my sister had to heal on you, he tried to shield you from the explosion using his body to take the most brunt of the explosion. It is sort of ironic that the boy who was so obsessed with killing you to avenge the man who he believed to be his father's murderer, and instead tried to save your life."
Peter was shocked that his childhood friend after wanting to kill him would go as far as using his own body to shield him from the explosion, "So you are the one bonded with Harry, how is it that you can speak to me, and why do you sound like that?"
"Every symbiote can communicate between each other, regardless of distance or location, as for me sounding different from what you expect, you are a stranger so I chose to be formal, and each one of my kind is also an individual we all have our personalities just like your own species, his body shall be healed by the time we arrive."
It seems the symbiote on Harry had some idea where they were being transported, to simply hear to open his eyes, they were summoned to the web of life, the very same web of life that connects every single world in the Spiderverse. "So I am going to meet Madam Web, oh joy. I haven't spoken with her in so long I miss her cryptic style of speech ever so much."
As Harry opened his eyes and saw Peter, "Could you stop the sarcasm Peter, we are hardly in a position to be rude you know, for all we know she just saved both of our lives a little gratitude would most certainly be expected. She could quite easily just leave us to die."
Peter smiled at Harry as he walked over to him and helped him stand up on the strange web that was where they landed. "Nice to see you are among the living Harry, sorry for not telling the truth about your dad." Harry apologized for jumping to conclusions due to his grief.
A stern woman was heard, "Well at least one of you has manners not to insult the one that saved your lives, I used quite a bit of my power, and had to use a spider totem to save you both from the explosion that destroyed your universe, yes that explosion destroyed the very concept of space in the universe where you were born, and thus it was destroyed."
The woman appeared sitting on a chair made of webs and looked at them, "I did not do this without reason, I have received a request from someone that wishes to grant you both a chance for a new life, and a new way to help the needy. She is the deity of us Spiders, so just because I see you both as sort of my grandchildren, I will forget about Spiderman's insulting remarks, but I wish to know what should I call you?" She pointed at Harry who was listening to everything she said.
Harry put some thought into it, he couldn't be the Green Goblin anymore, and that would be a constant torment and reminder of the insane monster that destroyed an entire universe using a bomb designed by his father, so he had to pick a new name for himself that others would recognize as his secret identity.
Harry looked at Madam Web and bowed in front of the sitting woman, "You may call me Tengu, it is my distinct honor to meet you, madam, thank you for saving me and my ever sarcastic friend. We would be having a conversation with our maker had you not intervened."
Madam Web began to laugh, something that Peter never remembered her doing or doing in front of him before. "You are quite welcome Mister Osborn, yes I know who you are, and your two guests, I live at the center of the web of life there are very few things I am not aware of. As for who wishes to meet you, I believe Arachne should be the one to explain."
A woman appeared dressed in what seemed to silk greek robes and looked at Peter and Harry, Peter was taken aback by the beauty of her figure, Harry on the other hand knew this was not a woman to mess with. Harry only wished that Peter would stop looking at her like a dog looking at meat at a butcher's display window, yes she was beautiful, her figure was extremely attractive, but she was a goddess, and that was to be expected.
"Greetings my children, I have come before you today after you were both brought here for one purpose, to help you forge and create a new life for yourselves, and those that are bonded to you, you have to forgive them, Peter's rejection of the one that came to be called Venom has left these two worried that the same may occur with them, and thus they are understandably a bit shy."
Peter was surprised that this goddess called them both her children, "As for the purpose I wish to make you both my champions if you both accept this will grant you many abilities as my children, and a new purpose to help those that need it, but in your case stop great tragedies that should have never come to pass. As my champions you will live longer than you can imagine, have physical abilities that rival the great heroes of legend, and will be able to call for me should the situation be more than you can handle."
Harry for one had nothing better to do, his company was no more, his crazy father or what personality came from him is no more, and he might like the Hero gig, "I don't know why you hesitate Peter, you want to sit here on this web for all your life, or you want to help some needy people, come on webhead, aren't you supposed to be a Hero?"
Peter laughed and looked at Harry with a smile on his face, "You are also going to be a Hero Tengu but you are right, what else do we have to lose? We accept Lady Arachne, from this day forward we shall be your champions and do your bidding."
Arachne touched both of them on the shoulder which for some reason it was a little painful for both of them, "My Champions you shall be sent to the past of the universe I reside in, there you shall help many people, and prevent many tragedies, as for the pain it was your punishment for your perverted glance at my body, You can deny it to him Harry but you were no better than your friend. This was also done to grant you both my blessing."
Harry looked at Peter and began to wonder where they were headed next, his symbiote said that as long as she was with him it didn't matter, Peter and his symbiote both took turns to snicker at Harry and his symbiote, especially the blush that was seen on Harry's face.
As the conversation returned to something closer to normal, Harry realized that maybe just maybe, this was an opportunity to change the world for the better, a world free of pollution, a world where energy was abundant and free for everyone, a world of infinite possibilities. Knowing Spiderman however that was going to be a difficult thing to accomplish if his suspicion of him wanting to preserve the timeline was accurate.
They both were told that they will be sent to the past of another earth in another universe, thanks to the web of life and Destiny now being connected to every single universe and every single planet that was able to sustain life this was not going to be a major problem, thanks to Arachne creating replicas of the spider totems out of wood to look like a totem from Native Americans they would receive or send communications through Spider Totems, they only need to touch it and Arachne will be able to talk with whoever touches the totem.
It appears Madam Web was losing her patience because one minute they were talking with her and the next there were standing on the ground of a snow-covered forest, and it looked like they were both quite aware of the temperature thanks to how their bodies were shaking, till both symbiotes changed into what seemed to be clothes made from the pelts of animals, which in turn made them stop feeling so cold.
"I forgot about that, my first symbiote also could change into any clothes I wanted or he felt I needed. Thank you, I was freezing." Peter heard her say that it was both their joy and their privilege to help them.
As they talked about their possible location they both saw a large meteor headed somewhere deep within the forest, and that is when Peter suddenly remembered something from his previous life, before he was reborn as Peter Parker, and began to run towards the place the meteor landed, "Come on Harry, follow me, we need to get to where the thing landed or we might not be in time to save them."
Harry asked him to save who? That is when as they ran he heard the name Vandal Savage and the people that were caught in the impact of the meteor they just saw, Harry only needed to hear the name to remember that he was a notorious villain from a comic book and cartoon he once was familiar with in his previous life,
"So Hiro when exactly were you going to tell me you had your memories from that life?" This made Peter laugh harder than J. Jonah Jameson pretended to laugh, "Well I couldn't tell anyone that I had memories of my life being a cartoon character, people might think I am crazier than they already do. So what are the chances we meet again like this?"
Harry looked at him finally stopping and beginning to move the bodies of the unconscious people near the meteor since the thing was warm and would save them from the cold, it was a kid, a young woman, two men, an elderly man, and an elderly lady. "Hector you know this thing is more than a heater, right?"
Harry looked at him and told him yes he was aware of the obvious, and he told Peter that indeed he knows what this will cause these people, but if he was willing to change the future of this world, told Peter that he better not complain if he decides to do the same in other ways. Peter looked as the old lady and old man suddenly began to change almost like their bodies were changing or mutating at a rapid rate, as it was becoming younger by the second.
It took the meteor a night, but in the end, the old lady and old man were now back in their prime, and the facial features and bodies of the six of them reminded him more of a modern man from his world than anything else, Harry was off hunting some animal he caught using his new spiderman powers since, unlike Peter he needed to get used to them.
It didn't take much time for Harry to get used to swinging using the webbing the symbiote made and even less for them to be able to form cutting and stabbing tools. So after making a small campfire he began to butcher the animals he caught and began to promptly cook them. His symbiotes' only complaint was that she wished they had some basic seasonings, to make the food taste better and last longer, to which Harry told her they didn't have time to look for some.
The three deers and other animals finished cooking when the smell of the food was enough to awaken the formerly unconscious people and ran towards the food each grabbing a piece of meat and starting to eat it. The formerly old lady looked at Harry and put her piece of food down for a second on her leg while the other five were too busy eating the piece of cooked meat they each took.
"I am sorry, I know this seems to be rude, but you have to understand we were quite literally starving a few seconds ago, and then we smelled something delicious to eat and we couldn't help ourselves." Peter began to realize that they know their language probably thanks to the collective knowledge of the symbiotes, and he laughed as he too grabbed a roasted fish and began eating.
He looked at her and smiled, "No need to apologize, I am sure Harry here understands completely after he heard your explanation, I am Peter, Peter I guess Parker, and the man who caught and cooked this food is Harry, Harry Osborn." Peter looked at her and then at the five others who had finished eating their food while having this look on their faces that they seem to quite enjoy it.
"Strange names I must admit, but we are probably no better once you hear of our names, we come from a nearby tribe that is having problems getting enough food, that was why we were in the forest, after all, we were hunting to find new sources of food when that rock came crashing from the sky. Thank you for the food, we are sorry that we might seem so savage to you but hunger got the better of us."
Harry looked at the man and simply saw the other people near him nod their heads in sharing the same sentiment. They were each dressed in animal pelts, and thanks to them changing they might need to make some new clothes because the two women were showing quite a bit of their figures if the amount of cleavage was enough to make Peter stare at it. Some things never change.
"There is no need to apologize, if anything I went out to hunt and cooked this food for that expressed purpose I figured that you would be as hungry as we were when you finally woke up, there is no need to worry I caught enough animals for all of us to have a decent meal." After some time and they told both Peter and Harry about the troubles their tribe had been having they finally realized that they had changed in so many ways it was hard to believe, but since they were seeing if they had to.
"So what is the plan for you two? somehow you don't seem to be from any tribe we know of." The other woman spoke as she was sitting close to Harry, much to his surprise. "Well we aren't from around here, we sort of found ourselves near this forest and we saw that rock falling, we figured that we better look to see if there was anyone who needed our help and that is how we found all six of you."
The man looked at Peter and Harry and looked like he was thinking something, when he finally spoke, "Very well, since you did us this kindness it is only right that we do the same, and seeing how you were willing to help us without knowing how we would treat you, it seems you both are decent men, from this day forward you two are part of my tribe, The Blood tribe since I stole some of your food you may call me Vandal, Vandal Adg."
Well, the changes done by the meteor seem to go beyond that just physical and it did mental changes as well, "Does that mean we have to adapt your tribe name?" Vandal found it funny, and he said only when they live with the tribe they can use their tribal names should they choose to leave and make a tribe of their own. This made the two women that were sitting close to Peter and Harry blush for some strange reason.
Peter and Harry did their best to collect the remaining pieces of the meteor since they could be useful later, something that was quite easy since the symbiotes could store a vast number of things within themselves. While they began to walk Peter asked him if that is how he could carry five full-grown deer, four rabbits, and ten fishes, to which Harry told him he needed to get used to his new abilities so yes he went a little excessive on his hunting.
"Well at least that takes care of the food for a couple of days, so Harry what do you think of the situation their tribe is in?" Harry stopped and looked at Peter, "As long as you are not going to complain about changing the timeline, I guess we could teach them to raise and domesticate animals, maybe plant some crops, not to mention better hunting and fishing techniques, if we managed to do that, their tribes or should I said our tribe's food situation might be resolved, wouldn't you say so Vandal?"
Vandal Savage stopped leaning against a tree and walked up to Harry, "It does sound like you have some ideas on how to solve our food problem, and yes, that does sound indeed useful, to raise animals and grow our crops would provide a stable supply of food, better than what we currently have. What exactly do you need to improve our tribes' hunting ability?"
Harry began to describe what a forge is and what metal was, to which Vandal told him there were plenty of those sorts of hard rocks near their tribal village, the two men began to talk about their plan to make new tools and weapons for hunting out of the metals near the tribal village, even how to make a forge, it seems like Harry is going to be the unofficial village blacksmith.
