Mysterio
The class returned to the hotel to figure out what just occurred and are all went straight to their phones and computers.
"It's aliens. It just has to be." Ned says as he's searching everything.
"Meh, not necessarily. I know a guy who's half machine, another who shot fire from his hands...and that was only week one." Ava says to him hoping nobody was listening in.
"BuzzFeed says there's a sailor, Morris Bench, Who was exposed to an experimental underwater generator and got hydro powers." Flash says reading from his phone.
"Yeah, you should definitely believe everything on the internet." MJ says sarcastically while sitting on the stairs.
"Spider-Man could take him." Flash states.
"What do you think it is?" Harrington asks Dell.
"Being a man of science...witches." Dell answers.
Peter was on the phone with Coulson who was currently at the Lighthouse a new S.H.I.E.L.D. base since after everyone came back from the dead and they came back from the crazy future, the last base went abandoned and was beyond repair by the time they returned.
"No, no. We wanna stay," Peter tells Coulson.
"It's a good thing I packed your suit. Looks like you needed it." Coulson says and Peter decides to leave out the annoyance he has over that bit. "So, who was that new guy? Was it that sorcerer from the battlefield?"
"Dr. Strange." Peter informs him. "And, no, he was a new guy. You know anything about this?"
"No, can't say that I have." Coulson replies as he looks over their recent missions and they have nothing. "So, how's the plan going? Fitz-Simmons have been badgering me to find out."
Peter looks over at Brad who smugly smiles at Peter. "A few setbacks, that's for sure."
"Look, don't overthink it. Trust your instincts, you'll be fine." Coulson promises.
"Last time I trusted my instincts, it took her asking the girl I like out for me." Peter reminds him. "Love you, uncle C. See ya." He then hangs up.
"Who is that guy?" Betty asks as the news plays footage on the new guy.
"He's like Iron Man and Thor rolled into one." Brad replies.
"He's all right. He's no Spider-Man." Flash states.
"What is it with you and Spider-Man?" MJ asks.
"What? He's just awesome, okay?" Flash tells her. "He protects the neighborhood, and he's inspiring. He inspires me to be a better person." That's when Peter rejoined them. "Sup, dickwad? Thought you drowned."
Peter and Ava exchange looks and knows Flash is gonna eat his words if he ever learns the truth.
"Sounds like his name's Mysterio." Brad says, lisneting to the news.
"L'uomo del misterio' is Italian for man of mystery." MJ tells him. "They don't know who he is.
"Mysterio." Ned repeats.
"Cool name." He and Betty say at the same time and Ava is seriously confused to what's happening, but it's adorable to say nonetheless.
"So how much of that did you actually see?" Peter asks MJ, wondering if she spotted him or not. With her, it's hard to tell what she knows or not.
"Not much, I was running." MJ tells him.
"Right. Me too. I was also running...away." Peter says, not knowing where he was going with this. "So Paris tomorrow. Go to the Eiffel Tower. Should be great."
"I read it was secretly built as a mind control antenna to create an army of the insane." MJ informs him and Peter is wondering why she would know that. "Which is why it's my favorite destination on the whole trip."
Okay, yeah, the others do have a point. MJ is a bit scary, but that's one of the reasons Peter likes her.

"What are you gonna do about the water monster?" Ned asks Peter as they go to their hotel room.
"Nothing. It's dead." Peter tells him as he enters the room with a Toothbrush in hand. "Besides, that Mysterio guy's all over it. Look, I just wanna spend some time with MJ. We were talking about Paris and...I really think she likes me."
"That's nice. Reminds me when Betty and I first fell in love." Ned says as Peter goes to brush his teeth. "I had just finished my fruit cobbler, and..." suddenly, a dart gets lodged into Ned's neck as he falls onto the bed unconscious.
Peter quickly turns and aims his Icer he keeps on him for self defense at the intruder...but he wasn't expecting the intruder to be his former bos slash uncle.
Nick Fury.
"You have become a very difficult person to contact, Agent S." Fury says holding the dart gun in Ned's direction and Peter lowers his Icer.
"Director Fury." Peter greets almost like his body was on autopilot getting into his Agent S, Agent of S.H.I.E.L.D. mindset.
When ignoring Nick Fury, it's easy to be normal. When Nick Fury finds you, you messed up and do anything to keep him calm. Because, like the Hulk, you won't like Fury when he's angry. Or even just ticked off.
"And you shot Ned." Peter says, getting back into his Peter Parker, normal kid mindset.
"Just a mild tranquilizer. He'll be all right." Fury assures him. "So good to see you after all these years. You're looking well. You know, I saw you at the funeral, but I didn't think that was the best time to catch up."
"No, that would've been inappropriate." Peter agrees.
"That's what I just said. The important thing is you're here. I tried to bring you here, but you avoided me, and now you're here. What a coincidence." Fury says.
"Wait, was this a coincidence?" Peter asks, knowing Fury would probably use his resources to stage this whole trip only to get him here.
"I used to know everything. Then I come back five years later, now I know nothing. No intel, no team. And now my best agent turned high school kid is dodging my calls." Fury recaps and Peter hears the anger in his calm voice. "Here's what I do know. A Crisis is here, and you're needed to stop it." He says while placing a disk on the table in the room and a hologram of the earth appears.
"A week ago, a village in Mexico was wiped out by a cyclone. Witnesses say that cyclone had a face." Nick says when Ned starts snoring. "Three days later, a similar event in Morocco. A village was-"
A knock comes from the door and Harrington comes into view and Nick gets ready to shoot him. "Just making the rounds. See if anyone needs any counseling after the events today." He explains.
"No, we're fine." Peter tells him.
"Great, because I'm not qualified...oh, he's asleep. I'm not qualified to do it. Good night." Harrington says as he closes their door.
"My teacher. Sorry." Peter apologizes. "You were saying?"
Nick then lowers his dart gun and gets back on the subject. "A village was destroyed by What May well be another world threatening-"
"Babe, you still awake?" Betty asks. "You're not answering any of my texts."
"He's asleep, Betty." Peter tells her.
"Oh, already? Okay." Betty says.
Nick is starting to get frustrated now. "That's why it's imperative-"
"Hey, boys." Dell calls in with a knock. "So that canal water today was filled with dangerous bacteria."
"Another person touches that door, you and I are gonna attend another funeral." Nick warns Peter and he has no idea if he's joking or not. He picks up the device and stands up. "Suit up and get Agent T."
-
The three are on a boat dressed in their suits with Nick after Peter explained the situation to her. At least, what he got of it.
"Stark left these for you, Parker." Nick says and holds up a glasses case.
Peter opens it and sees a pair of sunglasses similar to what Tony always wore.
"Uneasy lies the head that wears the crown." Nick says to him. "Stark said you wouldn't get that because it's not a Star Wars reference."
Nick then leads them to a secret underground base of operations.
"And you two can loose your masks. Everyone here has seen you two without them, and you would only be breathing through them for no good reason." Nick tells them and Peter takes his off and Ava retracts hers and they walk through the room. "You already know Maria Hill." He says nodding to her.
"Hey, Maria. It's been a while." Peter says casually.
"And there's Dimitri." Nick says looking to a new guy they haven't met. "And this is mr. Beck." He tells them and they see...
"Mysterio?" The two both ask.
"What?" Beck asks.
"Nothing. It's what our friends have been calling you." Peter explains.
"Well, you can call me Quentin." He tells them and shakes their hands. "You handled yourself well out there today, and I a, familiar with both of your works. We could use someone like you on my world."
"Your world?" Ava asks.
"Mr. Beck is from earth, just not yours." Nick explains.
"There are multiple realities. This is Earth-616. I'm from Earth-833." Beck tells them.
"Wait, you're from the multiverse?" Ava asks and looks to Peter.
"And you've been to enough to number them?" Peter asks. "I mean, I've traveled through at least maybe nine different realities while fighting my enemy, Green Goblin."
"Well, can't say I've seen you on mine." Beck says and Peter possibly just didn't go to his world.
When fighting Norman, he traveled to random worlds, at random times, and at random places. He skipped a few worlds, didn't go to some worlds, and some just didn't have Spider-Men or Spider-Women.
"Anyway..." Maria gets them to the topic.
A hologram appears and shows a black hole. "They were born in stable orbits within black holes. Creatures formed from the primary elements: Fire, water, air, earth. The Science Division had a technical name. We just called them Elementals." Beck says.
"Versions of them exist across our mythology." Maria says and pulls up some photos of the myths.
"Turns out the myths are real." Beck adds.
"Like Thor." Peter says. "He was a myth, and then I spent a week in the desert trying to lift his hammer."
"These myths are threats." Nick informs him.
"They first materialized on my Earth many years ago. We mobilized and fought them, but with each battle, they grew, got stronger. I was part of the last Batavian left trying to stop them. All we did was delay the inevitable." Beck says as the hologram earth gets consumed and destroyed.
"The Elementals are here now, attacking the same coordinators. Our satellites confirm it." Maria tells them, nodding to the monitors.
"So thank mr. Beck for destroying the other three." Nick says. "There's only one left. Fire."
"The strongest of them all. The one that destroyed my earth. The one that took my family." Beck says and they notice the wedding ring on his hand.
"I'm sorry." Peter tells him.
"It will be in Prague in approximately 48 hours." Maria continues.
"We have one mission; kill it. And you two are coming with us." Nick tells them.
"Wait, Prague?" Peter asks. "Director, this is serious superhero stuff. And I'm just the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man."
"Bitch. Please. You've fought Osborn, a lunatic with super solder serum, killed him, saved multiple Spider-People, and have been to space." Nick reminds him.
"Okay, the Norman thing, for the record, he killed himself." Peter corrects as he had nothing to do with his death. He didn't stop it, but he also didn't cause it. "And the space thing was an accident. I mean, there's gotta be someone else you can use. What about Thor?"
"Off world." Nick informs him.
"Dr. Strange?" Ava asks.
"Unavailable." Maria informs them.
"Captain Marvel." Peter wonders.
"Don't invoke her name." Nick warns them.
"Fury, I really wanna help. But if I'm seen like this in Europe after the Washington monument incident, our class will learn my identity, and then its game over." Peter tells him, wishing he could help. "All my lives, Peter Parker's, Spider-Man's, Agent S', they all come crashing down and the whole world will learn who I am."
Fury just stares and they wait for him to explode. "Okay. I understand." He assures them.
Peter and Ava are now completely confused and wait to see if he's gonna do a punchline or something. He is not known for understanding.
"Why don't we get you back before your teachers miss you and become suspicious." Fury says. "Dimitri. Take them back to the hotel, please."
"Thank you for understanding, sir. And good luck." Peter says as they start leaving and wonder if dying helped Fury ease up on his attitude.
"See ya, kids." Beck bids them farewell.
The two leave and are just seriously wondering...when did Fury become nice?
