Wakanda

The Wakandans already received the message, so they were standing around an electronic table that shined a holographic live image of Sam Wilson AKA the new Captain America.

Okoye stood in the middle, Shuri was standing next to her with her full Black Panther gear. After the death of her brother T'Challa, she felt like she was the one who had to keep his legacy going. So she became the new Black Panther.

Bucky Barnes, formerly the Winter Soldier, was in full vibranium gear. He is now officially know as White Wolf. He stood next to Shuri.

Captain America (Sam): I thought you guys would be there already.

Okoye: I assume you have also received the message?

Captain America (Sam): Yes I have, I'm already on my way there.

He looked at Bucky wearing vibranium wakandan armor.

Captain America (Sam): Hey Buck, I see you're fitting in quite well.

Bucky: I think the outfit is a little over the top, but I couldn't say no to vibranium armor.

Captain America (Sam): I think it suits you, "White Panther".

Bucky just gave Sam a look, fully aware that he is trying to get a reaction out of him, and it's working.

Bucky: It's White Wolf.

Okoye: We wondered if you might have any information regarding the current situation.

Captain America (Sam): I'm as clueless as you I'm afraid. All I know is that our universe is being attacked, or will be attacked soon. Sounds like just another tuesday to me, but it's a code black so it must be something big.

Okoye: Kulungile. Whatever it is, we will fight with you.

The holographic call ends.

Okoye: Let's go.

They walked out of the room and entered one of their many ships.

Shuri looked frustrated and annoyed to go to a meeting on another continent while Bucky sat on the opposite side of the ship, staring at Shuri's face for no reason. It became a habit of sorts to do that while sitting in front of someone.

Shuri: I still don't understand why we should go all the way to Norway for something they could've done over a hologram meeting? It's not like the threat is waiting for us there.

Okoye: It means the situation is very important.

Shuri: Still annoying.

Shuri noticed Bucky looking at her.

Shuri: Wenzani? Why are you looking at me like that? You're giving me the creeps.

Bucky: Sorry, force of habit.

Shuri: Eish.

Okoye moved the steering wheel forward and the ship flew off into the sky.

Kamar Taj

Shang-Chi, one of the newest heroes of Earth, with fighting skills that rivals Spider-Man himself, equipped with ten extremely powerful cosmic rings fitted around both his arms. These rings are able to be removed from his arms and act as very powerful whips through a magnetic force keeping the rings connected. Also making him able to jump incredible heights and lengths. One blow from five rings rivals the power of a blow from the Hulk.

He is currently busy with an intense training session with Wong, the Sorcerer Supreme.

When it comes to fighting skills, there is not much Wong can teach him. But Shang-Chi still had much to learn when it came to fighting an opponent using a different form of offense, such as magic.

America Chavez, a girl able to travel the multiverse through star shaped portals, stood on the side observing the battle between the two.

She is the newest recruit at Kamar Taj. Wong and Doctor Strange took her in after Wanda, under the darkhold's corruption at the time, tried to take her power for herself so that she could go to a universe where her children were alive.

As the sparring session continued, the Avengers signal went off in the library. One of the sorcerers took it and presented it to Wong. He opened the holographic message on the device.

"Code black, repeat, code black. This is Valkyrie, Queen of Asgard. Calling out everyone receiving this message as well as any known allies to meet at the town hall in New Asgard as soon as possible. We have reason to believe an attack on our universe is imminent, time grows short."

Wong: (mumbles to himself) Strange, where are you?

America Chavez: What's going on?

Wong: It's a code black.

Shang-Chi: Yeah I'm not following, what does that mean?

Wong looked at both of them standing in front of him. He turned his head to the left looking at America Chavez, then he turned to the right looking at Shang-Chi.

Wong: The two of you are some of the most skilled, fastest learners I've ever trained in my life. I've seen students come and go, none of them had the determination and discipline you two possess. You both got talent. There is no doubt in my mind that you two have what it takes to one day be able to protect this reality at all costs.

They both looked at each other in confusion, then they looked back at Wong.

Wong: This is what you both trained for. I know you are not ready yet, I wish we had more time. But when duty calls, it waits for no one. We may be walking into the fight of our lives, it's up to you to decide if you want to join me or not. The fate of our universe may depend on it.

Shang-Chi: Well if you say the universe is in danger, we might as well go down fighting to protect it, instead of going down without even trying.

America Chavez: What's bothering me is the fact that this message is saying "our universe". Is it implying that the threat is multiversal?

Wong: Why? Do you have knowledge of something attacking different universes across the multiverse?

America Chavez: I've heard rumors over time through travelling to many different universes. Something about some sort of war going on in certain parts of the multiverse. I figured it's a common thing so I didn't think much of it.

Wong: Do you know who started this war?

America Chavez: Apparently different versions of some very powerful space tyrant are fighting each other for supremacy. I don't have a name though, but I've heard that they have armies that could conquer entire planets in a matter of minutes.

Shang-Chi: Do you think one of them has reached our universe?

Wong: I guess we'll have to find out.

Wong opened a portal to New Asgard. Before walking through, he looked at the two standing behind him.

Wong: So are you two coming or not?

Shang-Chi: (sighs) This is gonna end well.

The three walked through the portal entering New Asgard in a second.

Wong: Listen, I'll be right back. There are still a few people I need to pick up.

Bruce Banner's Lab
Couple of minutes earlier

Bruce Banner, one of the most well known scientists in the world, but he is mostly known for being the Hulk. He is in his human form and as usual, he is busy experimenting on gamma inside his lab given to him by Tony Stark after being recruited into the Avengers initiative. He is experimenting on gamma, still trying to figure out what made the Hulk what he is. Not the raging green monster part, but the fact that Hulk is an entirely different person. Bruce is trying to seperate the two personalities so that they don't have to share a body. He still feels some guilt over the fact that he merged himself with the green behemoth for years. Essentially trapping Hulk inside his own body, unable to come out.

He didn't know that yet at the time. He merely thought he merged them together. He found out the hard way that it was not the case when he lost control and the Hulk took over completely, lashing out in anger over being trapped for years.

Luckily his cousin, Jennifer Walters, now known as She-Hulk, calmed the Hulk down and he reverted back into Bruce. Jennifer got injected with Bruce's blood after she was in an accident which caused his gamma to merge with her DNA. Instead of becoming a mindless monster, she retained her mind.
(My version of what happened during the upcoming She-Hulk show)

Bruce is looking through a microscope where he studies the behavior of his gamma cells. The Avengers signal appears on his computer on the other side of the room. He rolls over to the computer with his chair and reads the message.

Bruce: (Talking to Hulk inside his body) Well, seems like this is gonna have to wait, buddy. We are needed elsewhere. You ready to smash some things?

For a brief moment the Hulk takes over, Bruce's face turns partially green when Hulk speaks.

Hulk: Hulk always ready!

Bruce: I missed you, pal.

Bruce takes out his phone to call his cousin when suddenly Wong appears out of a portal.

Bruce: I guess you're my ride huh? Before we leave, there's someone else we need to get first.

Wong: Oh, right. She's your cousin if I'm not mistaken?

Bruce: You know Jennifer?

Wong: Well... I know her as She-Hulk, but yeah.

May Parker's Grave
New York

Peter Parker, known as the friendly neighborhood Spider-Man, put a flower on top of aunt May's grave. He's been so caught up in Spider-Man things as of late, he's not been to the grave in a long time. Being Spider-Man is the only way he can forget about everything else. Peter Parker is no more. Spider-Man is his life. It also became his way to cope with everything he's been through. The loss of his parents, uncle Ben, Tony Stark, Aunt May and now everyone not even remembering his existence after he let Doctor Strange cast a spell to make everyone forget him, but they still remember Spider-Man.

Today is approximately day 498 since aunt May blew out her last breath right in front of him. Mindlessly killed in cold blood by the Green Goblin for absolutely no reason at all.

There was a time when Peter would visit her grave every single day. Sometimes he would sit next to it for hours... It's been over two weeks since he last came to the grave.

Peter Parker: Hey May. It's been a while...

It is here where Peter would just let go and forget about his Spider-Man life and reflect as Peter Parker. It is the main reason he didn't want to come anymore. It became too much for him. He would rather forget about his past and move on (Opposite of Wanda). He knows that living in the past does not change what happened. All he can do is look forward to a brighter tomorrow. To be the reason for a brighter tomorrow for every other person.

Peter Parker: Sorry I took so long... I needed time... To clear my head, you know.

Through his tired yet hopeful eyes, tears built up as he was finally struck with all the feelings that he would not let out anywhere else. Bottled up inside for two weeks. He still felt tremendous guilt over her death, but he knew he did the right thing. He then thought back at what she said moments before her death.

"You have a gift. You have power, and with great power there must also come great responsibility."

Peter Parker: I really try, May. Every single day. I try to be the person you wanted me to be.

He looked into the distance, thinking about all he has accomplished as Spider-Man over the last couple of months. Still with tears running down his face, he gave a faint, barely noticable smile.

Peter Parker: I think you would be proud. I think uncle Ben would be too... I just miss you, May... I really miss you.

Peter's phone beeps. It is the NYPD (New York Police Department) communication system. He used Stark tech to hack into it so that he can know whenever a crime is being committed. He opened the app and listened to the transmission.

"Alert, multiple gunshots being reported near the corner of West 54th street. Witnesses claim to have seen Daredevil on sight, over."

Peter looked determined but tired at the same time. He put his phone in his pocket and sighed while looking at the grave.

Peter Parker: I have to go now May. Duty calls.

West 54th street
New York

Peter landed on top of a building in his full Spider-Man outfit.

He made the outfit himself, inspired by the look of the other two Spider-Mans from the multiverse which he met during the event that came to be known as "The Statue of Liberty incident"

Spider-Man is now without a doubt the single most popular hero in the world. As he sat on top of the building, he could faintly hear some civillains in the distance, evidently happy at the sight of him.

"Look, it's Spider-Man!"

"Go get em Spidey"

"My daughter loves you!"

He can never help but smile from under his mask, knowing that people look up to him when they are in need. It warms his heart every single time, knowing he is making a difference. Also making both his uncle Ben and aunt May proud.

He then heard the gunshots inside the warehouse down the street. He swung to the warehouse and crawled through one of the open windows. The warehouse inside was dark, with only the light of the few windows barely lighting up the area.

Matt Murdock AKA Daredevil is a blind lawyer by day, a masked vigilante by night. In some cases, a masked vigilante by day as well. This was one of those days.

Daredevil switched off the main power source, turning off every light in the warehouse, using the darkness to his advantage to take out each thug one by one. This is not the first time Spider-Man has encountered Daredevil, they are used to each other's company by now. Over the last couple of months they kept running into each other, and helped each other in defeating Wilson Fisk's Mayoral run on hell's Kitchen. Daredevil finds him more annoying than anything else, he feels like he doesn't need a partner but Peter can't help it.

Spider-Man sat on one of the walls, observing Daredevil as he used the shadows to strike fear into the hearts of the enemies. They have no idea where he was or when he will strike down his next prey. They shot their guns in every direction, hoping to catch him slipping. Daredevil was fighting the last remaining loyal thugs of Kingpin's fallen empire.

He moved from one place to another, slowly taking out one thug after the other. Although there were probably over fourty criminals inside this warehouse, Daredevil didn't really need to stealth his way through the mission, but he enjoys it. Taking in every single moment. It is thrills him when the enemies scream in fear when they are in his presence.

They didn't even know what was attacking them yet. One of the thugs were standing against the wall, his entire body shaking in fear. Suddenly he got dragged into the darkness while screaming in terror as his fingernails screeched over the floor. His scream quickly turns into silence after quickly getting knocked out. The other thugs turned their guns equipped with flashlights into his direction, but all they saw was the unconscious body on the floor. All you could hear were the anxious voices from the thugs, cursing and screaming at this thing they would swear comes straight out of a horror movie.

"What the hell is this thing!?"

"I'll kill you! Ya hear me! I'll cut you up in pieces and feed you to my dog!"

The thug barely finished his sentence when he was hit with one of Daredevil's small metal batons. He fell to the ground, not moving a muscle. One of the thugs shot their machine gun carelessly. Hopelessly trying to defend himself while screaming at Daredevil.

"Show yourself coward! You think I'm afraid'a you!"

The thug walked forward when he suddenly heard a voice behind him.

Daredevil: Boo.

The thug jumped in fear and turned around, shining his gun's flashlight right at Daredevil.

"Here he is! Oh shit, It's Daredevil!"

"Shoot him!"

"Die you bastard!"

Daredevil quickly dodged the gun in front of him, he vaulted over the thug and kicked him toward the rest. He ran into their direction, throwing both his batons, hitting two thugs in the head. They both got knocked out. His batons returned to him like boomerangs and he used them to start fighting the remaining criminals. His movements were so fast that they could never get a clear shot. He punched one in the face while breaking another one's knee with his foot. He used another as a wall to run on, doing a backflip and uppercutting him with his heels. He landed in between two thugs standing on his left and right side. He sweeped them off their feet with his batons and he pegged the batons onto their chest, using it to vault backwards, kicking another thug behind him.

Suddenly the lights came back on out of nowhere. The fighting stopped for a short moment as everyone looked at Spider-Man, standing next to the electricity lever.

Daredevil got an annoyed expression, but he can't help but smirk faintly at Spider-Man. He saw him as this annoying but funny little brother, always trying to take the spotlight in the most dramatic way... and nailing it every time.

Spider-Man: Hey guys, what's up? I was just in the neighborhood when I heard you throwing a massive party.

The fighting continued. Some of them began shooting at Spider-Man but he dodged every single bullet with ease. He then jumped on top of one of the pillars.

Spider-Man: (mocking the thugs) You know it was very rude not to invite me. You all just know how much I love a party.

Spider-Man quickly webbed up four thugs while ripping away some of the others' guns. He swung over some them while "running" on top of their heads.

Spider-Man: Oh sorry, my bad. Now there are footprints all over your faces. Let me fix that for you.

He landed on the ground between them and he shot his webs into their eyes. He then shot his webs onto their legs, sweeping them off their feet. He connected his webs to another one that he shot onto the roof, causing them to hang upside down.

Daredevil was on the other side, taking out the rest. Spider-Man jumped toward him and they stood back to back while the remaining fourteen criminals stood in a circle around them. The criminals have their knives out since some of their ammo was already finished and Spidey took away or broke most of the others' guns.

Daredevil: How many times have I told you, I don't need your help.

Spider-Man: And how many times have I told you, I just go wherever there's a crime. You just happen to be at most of them.

The thugs ran toward them and they knocked them down one by one.

Daredevil: That's because I stop the crime before it is comitted. You stop the crime while it is being comitted. Causing us to run into each other.

They finally finished off the last couple of thugs and there was a brief silence. Most of the thugs were unconscious on the floor while some hang from the ceiling, others were webbed to the pillars and walls.

Spider-Man: That's because you are a vigilante, deliberately searching for gangs and criminals. I'm just a friendly neighborhood hero, protecting the citizens from danger.

Daredevil just gave Spider-Man "the look".

Spider-Man: Come on, we make a great team! (He lifts his arm, signaling a high five) Put it there!

Daredevil gave another faint smirk while shaking his head. He then went in for the high five.

Spider-Man: There he is.

Daredevil: (Sarcastically) I hate you.

Peter's phone beeped once more, but this time it was the Avengers signal. He took his phone out of his boot.

Daredevil: Seriously, is that phone made of vibranium or something?

Peter read the message. He saw that it's a code black and that they need all the help they can get. He didn't even bother to involve Daredevil in this, he would just say no. Daredevil has always been a street level vigilante mostly working alone. Besides, Peter doubts they would think kindly of someone with small horns on their head beating their enemies to a bloody pulp.

Spider-Man: Oh no no no no. This is bad. This is very bad.

Daredevil: What's bad?

Spider-Man: There's no time to explain, gotta run!

Before Peter could swing away, Daredevil grabbed his arm.

Daredevil: I asked you a question.

Spider-Man: Oh it's nothing, just the entire universe probably ending that's all.

Daredevil: What are you talking about? Give me the phone.

Spider-Man: It's the Avengers signal okay!

Daredevil: Oh, right. You're part of the circus freaks. What does it say?

Spider-Man: Hey! I'll have you know we defeated Thanos!

Daredevil: I know, I'm just playing with you. What does the message say?

Spider-Man: Something about our universe being under attack. There were many beings who tried to destroy existence, you don't even know the half of it. But the thing is, this is a code black.

Daredevil: Listen, you gotta be more specific, I'm not a mind reader. What's a code black?

Spider-Man: I really don't have time to explain all this to you, I gotta go to New Asgard, right now.

Daredevil: Fine, I'm coming with you.

Spider-Man: You... want to come with me?

Daredevil: If this is another blip situation, I need to come with you.

The blip has become arguably the most noticeable word on the entire planet by this point. It's the term that is used to describe the five years Thanos wiped out half of all life in the universe. They would've all remained dead had the Avengers not collected the stones and brought everyone back. For five years everyone thought they were gone forever.

Daredevil: I was alive during the blip, I lost my best friend, I lost my fiance... I lost partners.

Daredevil could not live with the fact that he was the only one who survived, while Foggy, Karen, Jessica, Luke and Danny didn't make it. He felt like if he were there, one extra hand could've stopped Thanos before he ripped the stone out of Vision's head and snapped his fingers. He's not gonna make that same mistake again.

Daredevil: The point is I'm not gonna stand on the sidelines again. Watching the world burn while I could be fighting to save it.

Spider-Man: Well who am I to try and stop you?

Daredevil: Just one question, how are we gonna get all the way to Norway?

Spider-Man: That's... actually a very good question.

The two went up to the roof of a random building after the police arrived in the warehouse. They both sat on the edge with their legs hanging off the ledge, waiting for Thor or Captain Marvel or Doctor Strange... Or just anyone with fast travel capabilities to come get them.

Daredevil: You sure they didn't forget about you?

A portal opened up behind them and Wong walked out of it.

Spider-Man: Perfect timing!

Wong: Who's this?

Spider-Man: Oh this is just a new friend of mine. He's coming with us.

Wong: Well what are you waiting for?

Spider-Man: I don't know, something amazing I guess.

Daredevil gives him "the look" once again.

Spider-Man: Seriously? None of you saw the Incredibles? (He puts his hand on his face and Sighs)

They went through the portal to New Asgard and the portal closed behind them.
