Spider-Man Noir; Back Into The Multiverse

Summary:

Let’s do this one more time, my name is Peter Benjamin Parker, and I was given my powers by a spider God. In my universe it's 1933, and I'm a private eye. I like to drink egg creams, and I like to fight Nazis, a lot. I’ve saved the multiverse once, and then again and again and again. Uncle Ben was killed, I stopped talking to Aunt May, and Mary-jane died, but no matter how many people I lose, I still love being Spider-man. I know I will never be the only one, and that's what matters.

OR
Spider-Man Noir travels trough dimensions (again), he and the other spiders have to save the universe together (again)

ALso, cry bc i'll never finish this

Notes:

This story is mostly gonna talk about Spider-man Noir, Ultimate Spider-man, character of spiderman into the spiderverse and spiderman (cartoon from 2017)
of course it talks about the other worlds but it's mainly about all sorts of spideys and not people like Tony or smth

Notes:

I would have added zombie spiderman from Earth-2149 but he's dead (not zombie, but like dead dead) + he eats people :/ but it would have been cool to add him because they talk about alternative universe in it because the zombies want more food (they ravaged their world, meaning they even went to space to get more food to calm 'The Hunger') so they went in a different dimension where zombie spidey created the New Avengers to fight against the Avengers who wants to destroy that universe as well-
ANYWAY I love that universe, but if you don't like extreme gore don't look into it, because we can literally see people getting teared apart. For people interested, I believe that reading the plot on fandom-wiki is less, uhhhhh, extreme (?) about that whole thing, but a lot of talking about death and eating people, it describe what happens ya know

Did you know that Earth-8101 is a universe filled with Apes :D ? In ultimate spider-man Peter Porker says something about spider-man being spider-monkey, Spider-monkey actually exists! That dimension also has a link with Marvel Zombie, because Earth-95019 is simply Spider-monkey's dimension but with a slight twist of event which creates a new Earth, the event being Marvel Zombie going here to find more food

Chapter Text

          You would think that after coming back to their own world everything would calm down for a few moments, at least. But no, of course not, Noir is back in his world again, falling back into his old routine, when a weird, coloured portal appear in his apartment, the same young Spider-Man as last time stumbling out of it, even though last time he had come, his problem with the shattered magical red rock had been solved, so what is he doing here?

          Let’s backtrack a bit, yeah?

          A year and 6 months before Noir is sent to Morales’ dimension, along with 4 other version of the Spider, Ultimate Spider-Man came tumbling in his world, fought a weird alien from his world, saved Mary-jane, fought the alien guy again, destroyed a property of J. Jonah Jameson and told him something about family. Then Noir had helped Ultimate out in his own dimension, other version of them had helped as well, among them was Peter Porker, which he had met again on Earth-1610.

          A year before Morales’ dimension, a certain ‘Ultimate Spider-Man’ came to his dimension, again, but this time with ‘Kid Arachnid’, one of the person that had helped last time, they seemed to have been together for the last few months, something must have had happened that prevented him from going back to his universe. They helped him stop a war between the gang of Mr. Fixit and Hammerhead, but not before turning him into stone, let’s not forget that. Ultimate somehow saved the multiverse while doing something reckless against Wolf-Spider and everyone got sent back to their own universe.

          He had a few months of break with nothing about the multiverse happening to him, but then, 4 months before going to Morales’ world he was asked by Madame Webb to help another spider, the Amazing Spider-Man, fight a person in fishbowl who called themselves Mysterio. Miguel O’Hara, the Spider-Man from 2099, and Ultimate Spider-Man, where dragged into it too. Miguel, Ultimate and Noir had already worked together before with the whole 'their alternate self being a villain and bringing fear in hearts when the name Peter Parker was uttered' thing.

          After that mission, he though he was finally free, but of course not, he got transported to another universe again, two months before Morales’ one. In this one he met another Peter Parker who worked in a lab with Doc Ock, apparently the two had an history as friends or lab partner, he met another Miles Morales, who decided to help May at F.E.A.S.T. after his dad died, Noir couldn’t help Marvel Spider-Man when May was infected by Devil’s breath. Couldn’t help when she passed away. He couldn’t help with much, really. He then learned from Pete that Miles had also been bite by a radioactive spider, he could help with that. Peter was impossible to join, always busy fighting villains, so Noir took it upon himself to teach Miles about the ropes. After the events of ‘Silver Lining’ (Noir like to name events) he was sent back to his own dimension.

          No matter how many months he had spent in Marvel’s Spider-Man universe, when he got back home, it was as if he had never left, no time had passed while he wasn’t there.

          So Noir wasn’t new with alternative dimensions, far from it actually, but that was one of the multiple things he kept hidden from he people he trusted, well, he didn’t hide it, but it never came up in a conversation and you can’t just say, ‘hey, I’m Peter Benjamin Parker, but people from the other dimensions that I went to before call me Noir because most of us are Peter Parkers. Anyway, I saved the multiverse multiple times, which means I saved you all from horrible death and met Porker before, unless he’s a different cartoon pig than the one I’ve met before, it’s Ultimate Spider-Man fault because he can’t seem to stay out of multidimensional problems. I also come from a black and white world where we don’t have colors and only have shades,’ yeah, might not be the best plan.

 

          Let’s do this one more time, my name is Peter Benjamin Parker, and I was given my powers by a spider God. In my universe it's 1933, and I'm a private eye. I like to drink egg creams, and I like to fight Nazis, a lot. I’ve saved the multiverse once, and then again and again and again. Uncle Ben was killed, I stopped talking to Aunt May, and Mary-jane died, I died, was buried, but no matter how many time I lose, I always find a way to get back up, I'm still alive, aren't I. Even after everything, I'm still Spider-Man, because I know that if there is too much power, then it is the responsibility of the people to take it away.

 

          But back to the matters at hand, what is Ultimate Spider-Man doing in his living room. Noir was just getting ready to leave for a patrol, he had just finished putting on his mask and was about to leave trough his head.

 

          Ultimate turns to him, the eyes of his mask changing position, communicating his smile, “Hey Noir! I’m having a problem with Doc Ock in my dimension, wanna come help out?”

          The teen turns around, showing his back to Noir, he mutters something about Noir being his pal he met a while ago and explaining their history together, as if talking to an invisible public.

          “Don’t you already have a whole team of spider-people”

          The spider looks back at Noir, “Oh, they’re on vacations, which is why I came here by the way,”

          Ultimate seems to entirely forget that someone is in the same room as him, because he starts talking again, pointing at random thing, as if telling a class what to know for their next evaluation, “Of course I don’t actually have problem with Doc Ock ever since he changed side,” he puts on imaginary glasses, “I just need a reason to get him to my dimension. It was the only logical excuse I could find because I didn’t tell him yet that I won the final fight against Ock,” he rubs a non-existent beard, a fake pensive atmosphere surrounding him.

 

          “Ultimate, what are you doing?”

          The kid now has his mask half rolled up, a sheepish smile form on his face, “You know, I like to narrate what happens to me,”

          “Sure, kiddo,” Noir rolls his eyes fondly.

          Ultimate points at the portal behind him, “You coming?”

          “I need to grab a few things first,” Noir walk to his bedroom, on the way he snatches the Rubik Cube he got from Earth-1610, from the desk positioned against the wall beside the door leading to his room.

          Once in it, he packs a few clothes in his old backpack and the newest trench coat and fedora hat he wore during what he dubbed; Spider-Verse, New Generation.

          He takes his gun and tucks it away safely on himself before walking back to Ultimate, his bag in hand.

          Peter and Noir enter the portal together, who knows what awaits them on the other side.

          Oh right, probably a long trip between dimensions.


           Once in Ultimate’s universe, Spider-Man drags Noir trough the city, going from Queens to Newark, in New Jersey, they swing in front of the bar with no name on the way, both deciding to ignore it.

          Once close enough to see the S.H.I.E.L.D.'s place, Noir take his fedora hat out of his bag, placing it on his head, to shield himself from the sun, “What’s this place?”

          “It’s basically a school for new heroes,” Ultimate stops in front of doors, inside you can see people going about their day, some rushing, probably late for something while others are taking their time, eating a sandwich.

          Noir turns back to Ultimate, “Do I need to go in there,” he ask, making a vague gesture toward the doors.

          “Yes,” he pats Noir’s shoulder in a somewhat comforting way, “People are waiting for you inside,” he adds, retreating his hand and then bats away non-existent flies on both of his own shoulders.

          Noir bit back a sigh, entering the establishment, they walk through the halls, meeting shield agents on the way, which Ultimate greets. The teen leads him to a training room.

          Once inside, he’s welcomed by four robots, their targets meeting him, he turns around only to see Ultimate swinging out of the room, shouting, “Don’t worry! If you beat them, they won’t hurt you! Hope you don’t mind us watching you!”

          Noir sighs, dragging a hand down his face, of course the kid wants him to fight. Wait, us? Noir let his senses reach the other side of the glass, where the Web Warriors are waiting excitedly, Amadeus and MJ already have notepads out, while Flash and Miles (Kid Arachnid) are intently watching, Ben is waiting by the way out, acting unimpressed and Ultimate is getting inside the room. Noir make up his find, knowing it's useless to ask to be let out.

          He turns to the robots, “Let’s dance,”

          Immediately, they start shooting at him, Noir jumps in the air, sticking his web to one of them before tugging and punch his way trough it. He puts both of his hands up, taking a boxer position, might as well have some fun while fighting.

          Suddenly, they change appearance, that’s new, the three-remaining transform, one into a green Mr. Fixit (minus the hat and the suit) and the other two in Doc Ock and Doctor Connors AKA The Lizard.

          Noir goes for Mr. Fixit first, kicking it in the face, making it fly into the wall, where it get webbed up.

          Ock charges at him, the Lizard following closely.

          A robotic arm goes for his left feet, Noir doesn’t move, aware of the movement, counting on turning the tables around by making it an advantage for himself. The arm suspend him in the air, where he use one of his hand to keep his hat on and use to other to throw a web at Octavius and The Lizard. He can’t be reached when Lizard try to attack him, instead Noir dislodge himself from the arm and jump on the Lizard’s back, effectively knocking it out with a punch to the skull.

          He jump from the robot and onto the floor, Doc Ock approaches him. Once Noir deems it close enough he throws his hat at Doc Ock’s face, blinding it for a moment, and then punch it square in the face, he change trajectory and crouch down, taking away the robot’s stability by knocking down it’s legs, once on the floor, Noir webs it in a cocoon.

 

          Noir turns away from the still robots, hearing the frantic scratching of a pen.

          He walks out of the training room, and then to Ultimate, “What was that,” he ask, making sure his voice sounds at least unpleased, the teen strain his eyes to the floor, “We wanted to see fight, b-but not only because you’re cool,” he adds the last part frantically, Noir huffs, “We need information to upgrade the equipment too,” Noir raise a brow, that was way better than the punching bag he had back home, but it’s the future, so who knows what is advanced or not, “And everyone had to do it anyway.” (“Could still have asked first.” Noir retorts)

          The other Web Warriors place themselves behind Noir, he can hear them whispering to each other, who follow Ultimate once said one starts leading him to another room, after promising multiple times that, no, it was not a training room again.

          Noir blinks, his senses changing from alert to that fuzzy feeling he gets every time he’s around new spiders, his sense then go back to alert. He looks around, his eyes meeting multiple spider's.

          Noir take his hat, making a greeting gesture with it, “Hey fellas,”

          The Spider from the vampire universe and the Web-Slinger approach him first, “You changed your suit,” West says, pointing to the fedora hat. Noir nods, "Ya like it?" Vampire nods as Noir takes both of them in a brief accolade, they don't talk much more, having only met each other briefly, Noir doesn't mind, his eyes already looking around for someone in particular among the crowd. He excuse himself and once he’s done with the other two, he walks toward the person, “Miguel, how’s it going? Haven’t seen you in a while,” he smiles easily, even though his mask his hiding his face.

          “It was five months ago, Noir,” Miguel answers.

          “’s been longer than that for me, I got sent to Marvel’s world for seven months-ish,” he makes a 'around' gesture, “but the time I was there didn’t translate to the rest of the multiverse,” he shrugs, “so it’s been over a year,”

          “How are you always dragged trough those multidimensional adventure,” says a voice behind Noir, a hand is placed on his shoulder, Noir turn around, Spyder-Knight is looking at him with a face of (what would be) disbelief (Spyder's wearing a helmet, the only way we can know it's disbelief is trough the tone of his voice) even though he’s been in his own fair share of alternative universe experience.

          “Yeah yeah, go back to Pirate, they're waiting for you,” Noir answers, a ‘ARRRR’ is heard faintly, as the marauder agrees. Spyder salute him and leave for his companion.

          Noir turns back to Miguel, striking up a conversation, asking about new problems that might have come up after their departure.


          The Miles from Marvel’s universe walk toward him, “I’ve went on my first patrol with Peter! I tried the trick you showed me!”

          “Yeah? How did it go?” Noir asks, patting the kid on the head.

          Miles rubs the back of his neck embarrassingly, “I failed the first few times,” his excitement seeps trough his voice again, “But I was able to do it, and Peter was super impressed,” he leans closer to Noir, as if telling a secret, “He even asked me to show him how to do it,”

          “Nice,” Noir high-five the kid, who continues to catch him up on what happened since he left.

          A few minutes later, the five spiders from ‘Spider-Verse, New Generation’ enter the room as well, Porker in front, then Peni, Morales, Gwen, and Parker fill in.

          The Gwen Stacy from Kid Arachnid’s universe approach them, and starts talking to Gwen about spider powers, Gwen looks startled but calm down momentarily after recognising who is talking to her. Stacy drags her to her suit and tells Gwen about the programming inside of it, asking for help on certain features.

          Morales and Parker seem to stick together, not sure how to react at the multiple spiders reunited in the room.

          Porker and Peni, in contrary to them, begin the present themselves to the others, even though Porker already knows half of them, there’s still the other half to take care of.

          Miles sticks close to Noir, as a younger sibling would with the older sibling.


          Morales goes to a corner of the room, muttering to himself “'Hey Miles, how was your day?' 'oh, ya know, just went to an entire different dimension where my atoms are actually jazzed of being in, and apparently Noir knows everybody here but still don't know the name of colors! The usual!'”

          “I can explain that if you want.” A Peter suggests, turning away from the conversation he was having with Anya.

          He startles Morales, clearly not aware of anyone listening to them, “Explain which part? The atom one or the Noir one?” he questions, trying to ignore the slight guilt they feel at talking with an other alive Peter Parker, at least that one doesn't have blond hair.

          The Peter seems to think about it for a few seconds, “Probably both,” he smiles easily, “They call me Web, to difference me from the other Parker's.” Web offer his hand, which Morales shake.

          After the handshake Morales direct his attention back to their question, “So how come we're okay in this universe?”

          “I've been looking into yours to see if there was anything that could be different from ours, the temperature, air pressure, energy in the atmosphere and everything else seems to be exactly like ours,” Web explains, taking out a sheet with the calculations, Morales look at it curiously, “Which left one hypothesis, the collider had a malfunction, it forced some atoms to split in two halves, but when about fuse back together, the other half wasn't there,” Web points at a drawing of the collider at the bottom of the sheet, where some arrows points out multiple problems that could be the reason of the glitch, “In resume the others' atoms were separated between two different universe, a part of them back in you world and the other back in theirs.”

          Miles think it over, he shrug, it did made sense, but it doesn't explain why there was buildings appearing randomly in their city.

          “What about the buildings? And you also need to answer about Noir.” Miles point out, looking at the sheet in his hand, trying to make a plan in their head as to how it would work.

          Web look away for a second, “Yeaah, still looking into that”, he put his hands in his hoodie's pocket, “As for Noir, we met during the Totem War,” he hesitate for a split second, not sure how to continue, “Technically, the official name is Spider-Verse, but most of us use different names to explain it, I've heard Spidey call it The Great Hunt once.”

          Morales try to think of anything that could line up with that, he doesn't remember Noir mentioning anything about a Totem War, Porker did talk about a Spider-Verse though, said it was a dream he had. From the dots they can connect together, Morales can assume that it probably wasn't only a dream, “What happened during the Totem War?”

          Web snap his fingers, “Oh, right! You probably don't know about that. Want to know what it's about?”

          The young Spider-Man nod as soon as the words register in his mind, “Yes, but first, why don't I already know about it?”

          Web clear his throat, getting physically ready for a big explanation, “When the war happened your universe's timeline hadn't developed to the point where you were bitten by the spider, which means we only met RiParker, my condolences for him, he was a great ally,” his demeanor turn darker at the last part of his sentence. Morales can relate, they still felt guilty for the death of his world's original Spider-Man, they could have saved him, if he had at least tried.

          The Peter Parker in front of him take a deep breath, “It all started when Silk, an other Spider, was captures by Morlun, a villain from Earth-001, the spider from Earth-616 went to free her even though she had said multiple times that it was a trap. The spider assured her that Morlun was dead for good, because he had to kill him twice, but if the guy returned from the dead once, what's stopping him from doing it a second  time, right?” He shake his head, his expression closed off.

          “Morlun decided to start the Great Hunt, he went around the multiverse killing multiple spider-people, Superior Spider-Man decided to create a Spider-Army so that we could defend ourselves. For a while we hid on Earth-13 before it was destroyed aswell. While fighting Morlun and his inheritors we lost a lot of spiders, such as six-armed Spider-Man, Peter Parker from Earth-772, Peter Parker from Earth-58163, Miguel O'Hara from Earth-98120, Patton Parnel from Earth-51412, Peter Parker from Earth-666, Eugene Thompson from Earth-78127, Peter Parker from Earth-13, Peter Parker from Earth-71004, Spider-Monkey from Earth-8101, Spider-Cat from Earth-999,-”

          Morales cuts him off, “Wait wait wait, Spider-Monkey and Spider-Cat?” They ask, confused.

          Web smile slightly, “Spider-Monkey came from a world populated by Apes, and Spider-Cat is a house cat that received spider power,” He explains, as if that answered all the questions he had.

          “There was also a lot more casualties, but some of them came back to life, for example The Other, a spider totem, chose Peter Parker from Earth-982 as its next avatar, resurrecting him in the process.”


          Ultimate Spider-Man has a microphone in hands, he place himself in front the exit doors of the room, facing the rest of the spiders, he tap on the micro twice, getting the attention of the others, “Hey, I would like to say that this reunion is happening so that we can catch up with each other or meet new alternative spiders, but sorry to break it to you, that's not the reason of these circumstances.”

Notes:

Nobody was writing the crossover that I wanted, so I'm taking matter into my own hands.
--- OUTFIT TALK ---
Noir suit's design;
When talking about what Noir is currently wearing, base your mental image on the outfit of Noir you can get in Marvel's Spiderman, except for the sweater that would be the one from Shattered Dimensions.
What Noir is wearing in the events of Spider-verse: New generation is simply the suit i've just described with a trench coat and a fedora hat
---OTHER STUFF---
I've just spent the entire day studying Miguel's, Noir's, the spider-army's and Six-armed spider-man's backstory HHHHHHHHHHH
Also, I'm so happy that Peter's family from Earth-15011 is ok, good for him, really <3
EDJFNDCRFJKCD Miles from the spiderman 2020 knows ASL, JNEFDCIXJNEFCDUBHJNERDSUXHJN YOU ROCK DUDE
Hailey Cooper my beloved <3 black deaf community representation and i think it's really cool + she's cool in general honestly + Natasha Ofili (the actress that plays Hailey) is soooo fucking cool- i feel like i just used cool a lot- anyways they're both really cool

Yes there is a plot to this story, just setting the basics of the book because I don't think anyone's (or at least, not a lot of people) studied the Totem War with the backstory of some of the characters
Dunno if I did a good job with the summary tho, it looks comprehensible to me?

I also don't have a schedule for when I post the chapters-

Chapter 3: Meeting at the edge of the end

Summary:

my playlist for when I write, if anyone's interested; https://open.spotify.com/playlist/1Vs5goJKmIxnKMrkFwD2Hg
- it's filled with a bunch of cool songs :]

Notes:

I've started watching movies/series with audio description, I never realised how many information you're supposed to read on people's expression-

My girl Silk apparently has social anxiety :(
HEY! ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE, SO LIKE, DON'T MIND MY WEIRD TURN OF PHRASE.

(See the end of the chapter for more notes.)

Chapter Text

          “There's a reason to why I called you all here.” Ultimate tilt his head to the side, then give his place to Spider-UK, after said one gestured to let him know he was going to be the one doing the explaining.

          UK take the microphone, “The inheritors' cloning machine was used again on Earth-616, and I'm afraid to say, this might not just be a random civilian finding the technology. The Web Warriors, Miles Morales from Earth-616 and I went to investigate,” the public's curiosity seems to grow, “Superior Spider-Man is creating each clones in different dimensions, as to not create any suspicion, but in the end, he always goes to his original universe a clone following him,”

          Most of the spiders look shocked, wasn't Superior the one that had helped them create an army to defend themselves from Morlun and his inheritors?

          “I don't know their motives any more than you do, but what I do know, is that that he is dangerous and that they're up to no good, he seems to be creating an army to take over the multiverse.” UK explains, he place on of his hand on his hip, than shift most of his weight on his right leg.

          Noir speak up from the crowd, “What do you suppose we should do?” He raises his head, the glasses of his mask shining from under his fedora hat.

          “That's why we called a meeting,” UK answers, then, “We need all the help we can get.” He gestures to the spiders, most nod in understanding while others roll their eyes in disbelief, probably asking themselves how they ended up in that situation again.

          Noir advances to stand between William and Ultimate, he ask for the mic, taking it between his hands, “We will need a plan of action,” his reinforced right boot hit the floor repeatedly while he thinks something over, he turns to UK, “William you're in charge for any timeline jump we might need, we need a team for a plan of action and a backup plan, and we need equipment, which means you will take care of anything that has to do with web-shooters, gliders, and other weapons,” he stops for a moment, “Last time we didn't have enough preparation and we lost multiple person at the hands of Morlun, we're not doing the same mistake again, at best we will easily overpower Superior, at worst,” he sighs, “that's what we need a backup plan for.”

          Ultimate take the microphone back from Noir, “Everybody that wants to participate in the plan of action go to my right, the one that will work on the equipment go tp the left,” he crosses his arm in exhaustion, “you can switch sides at any point, but we need to have something to work with.” He turns to UK and Noir while the spiders disperse in two teams.

          Noir put his gloved hands in his pockets, “Will, can you send me to the Superior's universe?”, instead of giving a verbal answer to Noir, UK tilt his head asking a silent question, “I can get more information.”

          “Not that I doubt you're ability at getting leads, but I do doubt it,” UK says, deadpan.

          “I will have you know that it's my job in my world, and I can sneak in practically anywhere,” Noir respond, slightly offended and ready to defend his career.

          UK huffs a laugh, “I was kidding, you have two hours.” he reach for his talisman, creating a web portal for Noir to walk trough.

          Said one march in, not feeling nervous in the least, he probably should, he thinks, after all, if he fail they will have to go into a fight completely blind.


          The dark spider climbs the wall of a tall building, his gloved hands and boots sticking easily to it. He makes his way to the top, listening to a conversation happening on the balcony a few floors bellow.

 

          “What do you think will happen?” Civilian #1 asks to Civilian #2. They're sitting on white chairs, assembled around a small, round, grey table. A few glasses filled with beverage are laid in front of them. A vase that is large at the bottom and become slender at the top is in the middle of the table. A bouquet of different flowers stand in it; multiple ranunculus, each different colors, three bright orange marigolds are displayed at the peak of the bouquet, with a few white and purple nierembergia at the foundation, making the hot colors stand out even more.

          “What do you mean?” #2 answers, fiddling with their drink.

          “The crime rate has been going up since Spider-Man stopped protecting the city.” #1 explains, they sooth out their yellow dress, the clothe clashing perfectly with their dark skin.

          “I saw him the other night though.” Civilian #3 adds in, clearly confused. They take the wine that was standing at their feet, pouring some in their empty glass.

          #1's expression darkens, “He still appears but he doesn't stop robberies anymore. He acts like we're bellow him.”

          #2 tilt their head “What do you think he's doing, then? Maybe he's preoccupied with other super-villains?” They say thoughtfully.

          “As if that has stopped him before.” #1 mumbles angrily, clearly upset with the whole ordeal.

 

          Noir almost let a sigh out, can't they get to the point faster? He's sure he could more information from a squirrel, but he doesn't move, they're the only one on the block talking about Superior. He's already wasted enough time, so might as well get what he can.

 

          “I've seen him stop by Greenwich a lot, you think he has something important kept there?” #3 adds shyly to the conversation, they look around, their long, wavy, black hair following the movement of their head, they arch forward and go closer to the two other civilians, like a child would when telling a secret, and whisper, “He always enter a tall building with some kind of Spider clone following him inside, it's a different copy each time though. I think he might be doing experiments on people in there.” They whisper so low that Noir wouldn't have heard any of it if it wasn't thanks to his heightened sense.

          #1 whispers furiously in return, “What! And you haven't told anyone? Not even the police?”

          #3 shake their head, #2 decide to step between the two, “The police has the right to shoot on sight again, he's considered a criminal, if anyone ever find out  Mu didn't testify ve will considered an accomplice” They say, clearly worried for their friend. They decide to change the subject of the conversation, probably in fear of getting caught.

 

          Noir sneak away, having gotten enough information from the 3 friends. “Back in my day, people would come to me to find proof that their partner is cheating, now I need to find more information about Superior to incriminate them further and possibly stop his super evil plan,” Noir frowns, he can never get a month of vacation, can he. He always has to run to the other side of the multiverse. He might have volunteered for this part of the mission, but it's because he knows that without any information, they will never be able to even think about winning the fight, and nobody knows how to properly go undercover. “I'm in way over my head.” He mutters as he crawl trough fire escapes and swing from buildings to buildings.


          In Ultimateverse, At The Same Time.

 

          “Spyder we can't just-” The person throw their arm in the air, a groan of frustration leaving their throat, “Why.”

          “Parker, you might be the one that has the most years in the line of work, but he was in an army,” Iron Lad defends, before their confidence falters, “well, kind of.”

          Spyder simply sit, content with the plan he led on the table, ignoring the incredulous looks some are giving him. “So you agree that we should jump in the front lines with nothing but tall knives-”

          “They're called swords.”

          “-and try to slice Octobots and clones with them?”

          “Yes? If they're made of vibranium it would work.”

          “Kid, where do you think the equipment squad can find enough vibranium for all of us?”

          Iron Lad open his mouth to answer, then stop, shift their jaw, and hang his head in defeat, “You're right.”

          Parker do a little celebration dance in his head, “Good, now let's try an other plan, any ideas?” He looks around, his eyes going around the group, Amazing, Vampire, Porker, Spyder and Iron Lad shake their head.

          Parker sighs, exasperated, because, really? Does nobody know what to do against Superior? Sure, the last time Superior was the one that made all the plans, but a lot participated in too. Might as well just use the swords like Spyder talked about. Sure, while we attack we need diversity in the weapons to catch Superior off guard, but if everyone use long daggers, that two person actually know how to use in total, we'll be crushed in a few minutes.

          Flash raise his hand, “We only came in this team because technology is not my thing,” he makes a grimace at the simple though of trying to create a webshooter, “We know football positions though?”

          MJ shoot a thumb up to Agent Venom, “We can use that on the field for plans, Superior probably doesn't know about those.”

          Porker reach in one of the pocket on his costume, and take out a large table for them to use. How did the table came out of a small pocket, you may ask? Porker will probably answer the question with 'Cartoon Logic' but with a bit of thinking, we can figure it's a pocket dimension, like the one Cloak use to teleport. There's no understandable science behind it (for now), so better not think too hard or you brain may start to spike. (pun intended)

        “Therefore,” Porker leans dramatically on the table, where a sheet of paper lays, with multiple pens ready to be used, “We should write down those thoughts.”

          Gwen takes one and start writing, making arrows to point to other information that might be useful. She circles a word in a bright red; Clones. Multiple universes succumbed to a lot of horrible things, which means if Superior is able to get his hand on blood of the people of one of those worlds, from example the Zombie Universe, he'll be able to create a whole army of beings that has more chance to survive being cut in two than die, in addition, virus like this can be very easy to spread in a short period of time.

          Ben sighs, “I've been in touch with Otto Octavius before, even teamed up with him once,” He rubs his forehead, feeling a headache coming, “If Superior really is Doc Ock in a Spider-Man's body, like Web said, I can probably help predict their plans.”

          After a quick look around Vampire ask, “Did anyone leave to find more information?” Sure, they can work without it by focusing on people's strength and training to get better at certain techniques, but it would help to at least know what they're up against. They don't really know anything beside that Superior is creating clones and planning on attacking the multiverse. The rest of the information are a big maybe. Maybe Superior is Doc Ock. Maybe Superior is recreating the sinister six, but from different dimensions where each are stronger than before. Maybe he's creating a new way to control whole populations that is close to impossible to break. Maybe they're doing cross-genetics experience but with more deadly predators. Maybe he's recruiting multiple Goblins to destroy a certain place. Maybe they're taking notes about Merlin's play and what to do and not to do depending what the result gave last time.

          “I've seen Noir leaving trough the Web Portal.” Silk informs, talking for the first time since arriving in this dimension.

          West crouch down, tired of standing up, then properly sits down, crossing their legs, “Now we just gotta wait for him to come back.” They decide to lay down on their back, their legs still crossed, they put their hands behind their head, letting a sigh leave their mouth. They close their eyes, resting them.

          Vampire smack his lips together, “So...” They draw out the last syllable, he stares in front of himself, where Parker is, then look at Morales from the corner of their eyes then back ahead. He do it multiple time, unsure how to present themselves, before he can descend in a loop of stress, they turn to face Morales. “Hi,” They stick out his hand, Morales takes it, staring at Vampire uncertainly, his spider lenses shrinks in a calculated gaze, Vampire grin sheepishly, though it's hidden by his mask. “Sorry, we've never been introduced, with you being new and all,” They take his arm back, they cross his arms, to support them.

          Morales stay silent for a few more seconds, before shrugging, “Miles Morales from Earth-1610, he they.” He absentmindedly fiddle with the bordure of their right glove, making it roll on itself before straightening it back on the sleeves of his suit.

          “Nice. Vampire from Earth-TRN577, I use he and they as well,” The blood spider answers, they taps softly his right index on his left upper arm. The silence stretch, when it becomes uncomfortable, Vampire decide to cut it short, “I'm gonna go lay down.” They points at where West is dozing off, then joins them, slowly lowering himself in a crouch then promptly letting themselves fall on his stomach with a 'oof'. He places their hand in front of him then hide their face in them.

          “Well that was awkward” Morales comments after a few seconds.

          “In my defense, I've spent the last few months trying to make conversation with vampires.” Is the muffled answer that comes from the one concerned. His team has been back for a few days since Ultimate and Kid Arachnid had helped them out. Yes the time works differently in each timelines, it's been a few days for him but a few years for some others. Their skill in socialisation sadly didn't come back once his friends were free from the curse. For Nova, White Tiger, Power Man and Iron fist, it's like they never left. They were confused when they were back to normal. The city they had sworn to protect had been mostly destroyed by their hands, even though they don't remember any of it. Vampire sighs, dreading his return to their world.

          “I suppose that's fair” Morales jokes, a small smile covering his face. They finger guns the figure laying flat on the floor.

          After the short interaction, Kid Arachnid turn toward the spider standing two meters away from the group, “Ben?”

          The creepy eyes of his mask turn toward him, “What?” It asks, their mind completely lost since zoning out a few minutes prior.

        “You still in contact with Doc Ock?” He responds, walking closer to the Scarlet Spider, closing the distance between the two of them, making it easier to communicate without speaking loudly to try and discern what the other one was saying.

          Ben frowns silently, “Might be. Why do you ask?” A part of his mind tells it to have a little more fate in their friends, that they helped him trough every step of recovery, even after it turned away from them to join the enemy, they stayed by their side, making him realize which side really wanted it to become better. A traitorous part of his mind tells them to run away, that only Octavius could possibly know how to help him, how to learn about it's origins. The last part might be true, but Ben has learned since then that their past didn't define who he was now; especially if he doesn't remember it.

          “If Superior really is Doc Ock in a Spider-Man's body, Octavius might be able to help us with the plan, since, ya know, their both Otto Octavius.” Kid arachnid explain his plan, happy at the nod of support he receive from the spiders around him (sans West and Vampire, both being asleep), clearly happy with making some progress.


          Back with Noir.

          He travel easily between the tall buildings. While he does so, a fog has fallen over the place, still this world is so much more colorful than his own. After living for a few months with Marvel and Miles, he got used to all the colors. When it was time to go back to his universe, he realized how dull it was, he realized how much he was going to miss colors. But today, the only thing he could feel was dread. Dread of figuring out what Superior was doing. He had only talked with them a handful of times, when creating a plan against Morlun, but even then, Noir was wary to trust him. It seems that, even though his suspicions, he didn't Superior to actually be someone he has to fight.

          Noir takes a turn getting closer to Greenwich, making sure to stay hidden in the shadows. There's probably cameras all around the place, and even though there might be ones that track thermal heat, the best way to do the job is to hide or not even think about going close to what might Superior's base. Since it's out of question to do the latter, well, it's time for a game of hide & seek.

          Noir stops. His fingers and feet gluing to the wall he's on. He's too easily recognizable in that outfit, and his skin, that his world it would be considered 'normal', is too grey to fit in this world full of different pigmentation. If he can find something in dumpsters that looks like cloth, he might be able to hide easier in the crowd.

          With that in mind, Noir goes inside an alley, now that he thinks about it, without alleys, New York would probably be much safer, no way to hide and attack people. He opens a dumpster, after having letting himself drop on the asphalt, it's filled with garbage bags and chunks of plastic and metal. He can discern something that looks like a bright pink scarf (Noir can't seem to find a favorite color, they're all so colorful, how can he possibly chose only one, but the way pink jump in his retina, it seems make everything look even more alive, so it might be why it's one of the color he remembers and label it, even after only a quick look.)

          Noir shrug off his coat and remove his fedora hat. He makes a ball with it, and, with a swift movement of his wrist, stick to the wall at the end of the alley with his webs He adds a few more layers of it, to make sure it stays put and doesn't dissolve or get stolen because of the insufficiency of resistance from his webbing.

          He doesn't take off his mask though, and decide to rap it around his neck, hiding it. He ponders for a few moments, there's no chance he'll take off his mask. The last time he did, people started screaming about him being the ghost of Spider-Man that came back to take revenge.  He could wear his usual fedora hat but it is easily recognizable, not many people wear these kind of hats out in public these day. He decides to search a bit further inside the garbage, after opening his fifth bag, he finally find something to cover his mask. He puts it on his head, the bucket hat's deep red is darkened further in the shadow of the alley.

          He looks into an other dumpster, after tossing around the bags of garbage he finds a blue jacket, it's sleeves are tore off, but he doesn't mind. Once he put it on top of his suit, he realize that it's slightly bigger than he is, it hangs from his shoulders and reach his knees. Noir knows he won't be called out for it, he saw a lot people wearing too-big-for-them clothes, most youngster wear that in the 2000s. He zips it up.

         He looks into the last dumpster, he doesn't have to try and find something, it's sitting on top, as if it was put here exactly for him. There stands high heel shoes. Their black color make them less visible, and most people's eyes would be drawn to the bright pink piece of cloth he has up to his nose and the blue jacket around his shoulders. He swiftly take off his boots, webbing them up to the wall, among his other clothes. He quickly tie the high heels around his feet, and walk back out of the alley, rejoining the crowd of people.

         They push him out of the way, like a puppet, each one trying to get to their destination faster than the others. A frustrated sigh comes out of his mouth as he pinches his nose. He takes a first step, trying the water with the high heels. Immediately, he loose his balance only staying up right because of the corridor of people passing beside him. How does others are able to do miles in these shoes? Noir, at this moment, feels a lot of admiration to all the people he's seen wearing high heels, they make it seem so much more easier than it is!

         After a few steps, his start to get the method, he grips the sleeves of his aqua jacket, and continue on his way trough the crowd. Distantly, he questions if he would be able to climb walls with these shoes on, maybe the front of them would be able to grip easily, but he doubts his heels would be able to, the only way he would stay stable is with the tip of his toes and his hands. Better not try that one out.

         He meets an intersection, Noir try to recall the map he's seen on his way here, then takes a left, and continue walking on the new block. The crowd seems to be thinning as more people choose the way to go. He knows that he's getting closer and closer to Superior. As if thinking about him would make them appear, something swings over Noir, not even taking a moment to think about him. The figure expertly swings away, it's red and black suit rapidly disappearing in the fog that had settled forty-five minutes ago.

         Noir starts to walk faster, he would be running if it wasn't for the high heels. He goes over that though again. He doesn't hesitate and throw his new found shoes off his feet, webbing them before they can be left behind, and grabbing them his hand. He sprints after Superior, forgetting to create a mental plan of the turns he was making, but he doesn't need to, once on a rooftop, he'll be able to find his way back. Hopefully.

         Superior stops at a building, entering the fourth floor's window, only then does Noir realize the blue and red thing following them. Some of it's suit seems to be decaying, letting him see the skin hidden under it. It's mouth his so damaged that Noir can see the muscle forming it's jaw, he can also discern the tendons on it's legs. Noir almost take a step back in surprise, he hadn't seen anything like that in a long time.

         He slowly puts the black heels down, then take off the scarf, the bucket hat, and the jacket he had been wearing, he makes a ball with all four articles, webbing them up. He then add straps that vaguely looked like one of a backpack, he might need them if he ever had to run out of the place and make sure no one was following him.

         He wriggles his toes to let tension wash away, his gaze never leaving where Superior has entered. He goes to the building at the opposite side of the road, walking up the fire escape, until his feet finally reach the roof. The apartment doesn't have more than six floor, making it the best height to spy while making sure not to be noticed.

         Multiple spider person walk around the flat.

Notes:

I became an american football expert while writing this- the number of movies I binge-watched for this is simply too high to comprehend- btw! Friday Night Lights (the movie from 2004) is really good, i recommend highly (it's become free therapy, for me)
