Bonding With The Brothers (NWH)
Phoebe's POV
We all waited for Peter to finish his video to lure the villains to the Statue of Liberty, which for some reason has a shield now. "Okay, guys. It could be any minute now." Peter 1 explains. "Yup, almost done." Peter 2 said. While waiting for the villains to arrive, we all took some time to talk. "You know, Max was like, the sweetest guy ever, before he fell into a pool of electric eels." Peter 3 explained. "That'll do it." Peter 2 said, stretching out his back. "Oh, there it goes." "You okay?" I asked. "Oh, it's my back." Peter 2 replied. "It's kind of stiff from all the swinging, I guess." "Yeah. No. I got a middle back thing, too." Peter 3 explained. "You want me to crack it?" "Yeah, that'd be great." He replied. Peter 3 grabbed Peter 2 and cracked his aching back with his super strength. "How is it?" Peter 3 asked. "Wow. That's good." Peter 2 replied. "That's better." "This is so cool. I always wanted siblings." I chuckled, turning to Peter 2. "So you, like, make your own web fluid in your body?" "I'd rather not talk about this." He replied, feeling uncomfortable. "I'm sorry. I was just curious." I apologized. "But, are you teasing me?" Peter 2 asked. "No, she's not teasing you." Peter 1 explains. "It's just that we don't do that, so naturally, we're curious as to how your web situation works, that's all." "If it's personal, I don't want to, like, pry, but I just think it's cool." I commented. "I wish I could tell you, but it's, like, I don't do it, like I don't do breathing." Peter 2 replied. "Like, breathing just happens." "Whoa!" Peter 3 gasped. "Like, does it just come out of your wrists, or does it come out of anywhere else?" Peter 1 asked. "Only the wrists." He replied. "You've never had a block?" Peter 3 asked. "'Cause I run out of webs all the time. I have to make my own in a lab. And that's a hassle compared to what you got." "Right. That sounds like a hassle." Peter 2 said. "But I did actually. You said that, I was like, "Oh, I had a web block."" "Whoa. Why?" I asked. "Existential crisis stuff." Peter 2 replied. "Yeah, don't get me started on that." Peter 3 said. "Hey. What are, like, some of the craziest villains that you guys have fought?" Peter 1 asked. "Seems you've met some of them." Peter 2 answered. "Heh-heh. That's a good question." Peter 3 chuckles. "Ooh, there's so many that my Dad fought. I fought a few myself." I added. "Yeah, I fought an alien made out of black goo once." Peter 2 recalled. "Oh, no way! I fought an alien, too!" Peter 1 explains. "On Earth and in space. Yeah, he was purple." "I wanna fight an alien!" Peter 3 and I exclaimed. "Jinx!" "I'm still like, you fought an alien in space." Peter 2 said. "I'm lame compared, I fought a Russian guy in a rhinoceros machine." Peter 3 said. "Can we rewind back to the "I'm lame" part?" Peter 2 asked. "'Cause you are not." "Thanks, I appreciate that." He replied. "You're amazing." I added. "Just to take it in. You are amazing." "Yeah, I kinda needed to hear that. Thanks." Peter 3 said. "What about you, Phoebe?" Peter 1 asked. "What kind of villains have you fought?" "I fought my boyfriend's uncle and a fat ass businessman who almost destroyed the multiverse." I explained. "I know, it's kinda embarrassing." "What did you do to this guy's uncle?" Peter 2 asked. "Kinda hard to explain. He wanted Miles to look up to him. Kingpin shot him. It's this whole thing." I explained. "I did take some notes. I'm just hoping Aunt May doesn't secretly plot to kill me." "Alright, guys. Focus up." Peter 1 warned. "You feel that?" My spider senses were going haywire. Danger was at our doorstep. "Yeah." Peter 2 replied. "They're here." I added. Lightning was coming from the sky. "What's up, Peter?" Max greeted. "How do you like the new-new? Look, you give it to me, I'm gonna destroy it. But I'll let you live. Don't make me a murderer, Peter." "Okay, guys. Here he comes." Peter 1 explains as the rest of us masked up. "Hey, Max. I missed you, man." Peter 3 said, distracting Max. "Alright, MJ. Heads up!" Peter 1 shouted, tossing the box to her, Ned, and Dawn. "Got it. Close it." MJ said as Ned tried closing the portal, but it stayed open. "Uh, Ned. It's not closing." "Yeah, I know." Ned replied, still struggling. "Why isn't it closing?" Dawn asked. "Did you close it before?" "I mean, I've opened some." Ned explains.
I waited for a signal from one of the Peters to grab a cure. "Well, I got his attention. Now what?" Peter 3 asked over voice chat. "Okay, great." Peter 2 said. "Just FYI, lizard guy's here, too. Guys, comm check. Hello?" "I need Max's cure!" Peter 3 exclaimed. "Guys, I need the lizard's cure." Peter 2 said. "Phoebe, you go help with Max." Peter 1 explains. "I'll help cure Connors." "Got it." I replied, just as my spider senses kicked in as Flint, AKA Sandman, grabbed both me and Peter 1. "Where's the box, Peter?" Flint asked. "You've got a tight grip, buddy." I gasped for air. "Flint, we can help everyone." Peter 1 explains. "I don't care!" Flint shouted. "Sad to tell you Sandman, nobody's going home." Max said. All of a sudden, one of the cranes fell on Connors and split Flint's hand, setting me and Peter 1 free. Flint surrounded the statue with his sand. "What the hell is going on out there?!" Peter 3 asked. "I keep yelling at you, Peter 2!" "But I thought you were Peter 2." Peter 2 said. "What? I'm not Peter 2." Peter 3 argued. "We don't have time for this." I explained. "Stop arguing, both of you!" Peter 1 snapped. "Look, we're clearly not very good at this." "I know, I know, we suck." Peter 3 admits. "I don't know how to work as a team." "Me neither." Peter 2 added. "Well, I do. I've been in a team, okay?" Peter 1 explains. "I don't want to brag, but I will. I was in the Avengers." "The Avengers?" Peter 2 asked. "That's great." "Thank you." Peter 1 said. "What is that?" Peter 2 wondered. "Wait, you guys don't have the Avengers?" Peter 1 asked. "No, but this actually isn't my first time working with a team." Phoebe confessed. "Other than my boyfriend, I've fought alongside many different versions of Spider-Man." "Whoa!" Peter 1 exclaimed. "Is the Avengers a band?" Peter 3 asked. "Are you in a band?" "No, I'm not in a band." Peter 1 replied. "The Avengers is Earth's Mightiest..." "How is this helping?!" Peter 2 shouted. "Look, it's not important." Peter 1 explains. "All we need to do is focus, trust your tingle and coordinate our attacks, okay?" "Yeah, okay." I replied. "Let's pick one target." Peter 2 suggests. "We take them off the board one at a time." Peter 3 said. "Now you got it." I applauded them. "Let's do this. Ready?" Peter 1 asked. "Wait! Wait! Wait!" Peter 3 exclaimed. "I love you guys." "Thank you." Peter 1 and 2 thanked. "Love you too, Peter 3." I smiled. "Alright. Let's do this." Peter 1 said as we all put our masks back on and swung towards the villains. "Okay, guys. Sandman's first." "I'm gonna lead him inside the statue." Peter 2 explains. "Phoebe and I will meet you at the top." Peter 3 added, while running from Connors. "Heading to the top now." I replied.
At the top of the statue, I waited while Peter 2 was still luring Sandman through. "Phoebe, where's the cure?" Peter 2 asked. "I don't have it." I replied just as Peter 1 tossed his cure to me. "Nevermind." I handed it to Peter 2, who activated the cure. Flint was almost immediately turning back to normal, as far as I know. I've never met him. Nonetheless, I helped him get out of the huge pile of leftover sand. "It's okay, Flint. We're gonna get you home." Peter 2 reassures him. "You just stay right here."
Peter 2 and I joined the other two Peters on top of the statue. Max was supposedly our next target. "How do we stop him?" I asked. "I've never seen him this powerful." Peter 3 said. "It's the arc reactor." Peter 1 explains. "We gotta get it off him." "You're not gonna take this from me." Max said. Peter 1 tried snatching the reactor with his webs, but was unable to. "That's not gonna work." Max blasted the statue with his powers. Luckily, none of us were injured. "Okay, we gotta do this up close." Peter 1 explains. "Peter 2, go right. Peter 3, go left. Phoebe, go behind him. On me." Peter 2 and 3 webbed Max's arms. However, Max still nearly electrocuted us. If only Miles were here. He might've been able to absorb the reactor's energy.
Dawn's POV
Ned was still struggling to close the portal. MJ and I kept giving him ideas on how to close it, but none of them seemed to work. At this point, Ned was getting frustrated. "I'm trying to close it. I can't help that it's not working." Ned argued. "It's fine." MJ said. "You'll do it again." "You just have to focus, babe." I encouraged him. "The fate of the multiverse relies on you. I'm assuming anyway." "Close the portal." MJ continues. "Close the portal." All of a sudden, I noticed Curt breaking free from his webbing and was heading towards the portal. "Oh shit. It's Connors!" I gasped. "We should get out of here!" Curt came through the portal with our Peter not far behind. While Peter took care of Curt, MJ grabbed the box as we all ran through the portal. It didn't take long before Curt started chasing us down while Peter and the other spiders cured Max, with a little help from Otto. Suddenly, another portal opened, releasing a ton of water. I grabbed Curt's cure and tossed it to Peter. In a matter of seconds, Curt became human again. "Whoa." Ned said in astonishment. "We gotta hide this thing." MJ reminds us. Ned opened another portal, only for Doctor Strange to come out of it. "Where is he?" Doctor Strange asked. "No, wait!" MJ begged. "Before you do anything, Mister... Doctor Strange, sir, Peter's plan is working." Ned explains. "What plan?" He asked. "He's curing them." I replied. Doctor Strange looked to see Curt's transformation. "Dr Connors." Peter said. "Welcome back, sir." "Well, I'll be damned." Doctor Strange said in disbelief, turning to Ned. "Did you just open a portal?" "Yes, sir." Ned replied. "I did."
Phoebe's POV
Peter 3 and I went to check on Max after Doctor Octavius disarmed the reactor from him. "Max?" I asked. "Max?" Peter 3 wondered, very cautiously. "Don't worry." Max reassures us. "I'm all tapped out." "Are you sure about that?" Peter 3 asked. "Back to being a nobody." Max replied. "You were never a nobody, Max." Peter 3 said. "Yes I was." Max said. "Yes I was. You didn't see me. Can I tell you something though?" "Yeah." Peter 3 replied. "You got a nice face. You're just a kid." Max compliments. "You're from Queens. You got that suit. You helped a lot of poor people. I just thought you was gonna be black." "Oh, man. I'm sorry." Peter 3 apologized. "Oh, don't apologize." Max said. "There's gotta be a black Spider-Man somewhere out there. Goddamn eels." "Believe it or not, Max, my boyfriend is a black Spider-Man." I smiled, helping him off the floor. "I'll definitely tell him about you."
I joined the other Peters when a portal opened below us. A man came through the portal, looking pretty pissed. Now that I think about it, Peter 1 did mention some wizard named Doctor Strange. "Strange, wait! We're so close." Peter 1 explains. "Skip it!" Doctor Strange snapped. "I've been dangling over the Grand Canyon for 12 hours." "I know, I know, I know, uh..." Peter 1 trailed off. "I'm sorry about that, sir. I mean..." "You went to the Grand Canyon?" Peter 2 asked. "What are you a doctor for exactly?" I wondered. "Doesn't seem to look like anything medical related." "He could've used your help!" Peter 3 defended his younger alternate self. "It's okay, these are my new friends." Peter 1 introduced us. "This is Peter Parker, Peter Parker, Phoebe Parker, Spider-Man, Spider-Man, Spider-Girl. They're mes from other universes. They're here to help. This is the wizard that I was telling you about." "Not a variant. I'm a Parker by adoption and blood transfusion." I corrected. "No, no, no." Doctor Strange said. "Look, I am really impressed that you've managed to give them all a second chance, kid. But this has to end. Now." "Can the Spider-Man come out and play?!" I heard from a distance as my Phoebe tingle went off. Goblin was here. "Goblin." I said. He grabbed the box and was getting away on his glider. Otto used his robot arms to protect us from incoming bombs. Doctor Strange grabbed the box with his magic. However, something didn't seem right. The Spider-Men and I looked to see some of Goblin's grenades inside the box. "Strange, no!" Peter 1 warned, just as the box exploded, releasing some kind of spell. Parts of the statue were destroyed, but MJ began falling after Ned and Dawn failed to get her to safety. "MJ!" Dawn shouted. Peter 1 didn't hesitate to rescue his girlfriend, but Goblin wasn't having it. He pushes Peter 1 out of MJ's reach with his glider. That's when Peter 3 jumps down to save MJ from plummeting to her death. While Doctor Strange was figuring out his spell, I noticed that Ned and Dawn were barely hanging onto a bar. Before they could fall, I ran to save Dawn while Doctor Strange's cloak took care of Ned. "You guys okay?" I asked. "I mean, Connors scratched me pretty bad in his lizard form. And my life just passed before my eyes." Dawn replied. "But other than that, I feel great." Some giant cracks appeared in the sky. Doctor Strange went up to the torch and did his best to repair the cracks. Dawn reunited with Ned and MJ. "MJ! Ned! Dawn!" Peter 1 shouted from the broken shield addition. "Peter! Hey!" MJ responded. "Are you okay?!" Peter 1 asked. "We're okay!" MJ replied.
As the sun was rising, Peter 2, Peter 3, and I saw Peter 1 fighting with Goblin on the shield. "Should we go help him?" I asked. The Peter Parker variants nodded. Peter 1 grabbed the glider, so he could avenge his Aunt May. Before he could take Goblin out. Peter 2 stopped Peter 1 for going forward with the glider. It wasn't the best idea, since Peter 2 was soon impaled by Goblin. Peter 3 and I gasped. "She was there because of you." Goblin cackled. "I may have struck the blow, but you... you are the one that killed her." "Now, Peter 3." I said. Peter 3 tossed the cure to Peter 1, who injected it into Goblin's neck. Once Norman regained control of himself, Peter 3 and I went to check on Peter 2. "It's you." Peter 2 faintly said. "You okay?" Peter 3 asked. "Uh, yeah, I'm good." Peter 2 replied. "I've been stabbed before." "Good. Good. Good." I sighed with relief that he was okay. "Hey." Peter 1 greeted, noticing the wound. "Oh, man." "Hey, nice catch." Peter 3 complimented. "Nice throw." I added, patting him on the back. All of a sudden, the cracks in the sky were getting bigger. "Those are some big ass cracks." "What?" Peter 2 wondered. "Is that happening, or am I dying?" "Yeah, oh no, that's happening." Peter 3 replied. "Are there people in the sky?" Peter 2 asked. "I gotta go." Peter 1 said. "Yeah. We got it." I replied, staying behind with Peter 2 and 3.
After a few minutes, Doctor Strange started casting a new spell. Peter 3 and I helped Peter 2 off the ground. Peter 1 came over to us. "Hey, uh, I think this is it." Peter 1 explains. "I think you're about to go home." "Okay." Peter 3 says. "Um, look. I, uh..." Peter 1 trailed off. "Thank you. I just wanna... I want you to... I wanna tell you that... I really don't know how to say this." "Peter." Peter 3 said. "I wanted to let you know that..." Peter 1 continues. "We know. It's what we do." Peter 2 interrupted. "Yeah, it's what we do." Peter 1 repeated. "Right, I gotta find Ned, MJ, and Dawn. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you." Peter 1 pulls all of us into a group hug. "See you around, Web-Head." I joked. "Sorry, that's just a name my dad used to call me." "I like that." Peter 1 smiled. "I guess I'll see you around." Peter 2, Peter 3, and I waved goodbye to Peter 1. "You're in so much pain, huh?" Peter 3 asked. "I am." Peter 2 replied. "Yeah." I said.
Peter's POV
I swung over to my friends and gave them a huge hug. I can't believe they won't remember me much longer. "Oh, you're okay!" MJ sighed with relief. "Are you okay?" I asked. "Yeah, we're okay." Dawn replied. "Oh my God, you're bleeding." I gasped, seeing the blood on MJ's head. "I'm fine. I'm okay." MJ reassured me. "You sure?" I asked. "I'm fine. I promise." MJ replied. "Good." I said. "We should go, right?" Dawn asked. "Yeah." I replied. "You're gonna forget who I am." They all looked at me in shock. "What?" Ned asked. "Forget who you are?" MJ wondered. "What are you talking about?" Dawn added. "It's okay. I'm gonna come and find you and I'll explain everything." I explained. "I'll make you remember me. And it'll be like none of this ever happened. Okay?" "Okay, but what if that doesn't work?" MJ asked, starting to cry. "What if that doesn't work? What if we can't remember you? I don't wanna do that. I don't wanna do that." "I know, MJ, I know." I replied. "There's not something we can do? We can't come up with a plan or something?" MJ whimpers. "There's always something we can do." "There's nothing we can do." I shook my head. "But it'll be okay." "You promise?" Ned asked. "Yeah, I promise." I replied, doing our special handshake, possibly for the last time before pulling him into a hug. "I'll come find you, okay?" "I know you will." Ned sniffled. I turned to Dawn, one of the toughest people I know, who was trying very hard not to cry. "I wish I could never forget you!" Dawn cried. "I know." I whimpered. "But there's nothing we can do. "Maybe there is something actually." Dawn gasped, pulling her journal out of her bag. "Peter, a few years ago, you gave me this journal for my birthday. I wrote down everything we've been through together. All of us. My only request is that you guard this with your life. So that one day, when you see us, just maybe, we will have a chance to remember you." "I promise." I replied, hugging Dawn. "You'll always be my best friend, Spider-Man." Dawn cried. I released from the hug and turned to MJ. "You better." MJ sniffles. "If you don't, I'm just gonna figure it out. I've done it before, I can do it again." "I promise I'll fix this." I explained. "I really hate magic." MJ sighed. "Yeah, me too." I chuckled. "I love you." MJ cried. "I love..." I began. "Just wait." MJ said. "Wait and tell me when you see me again." "Sure." I agreed, placing my lips against hers. I just wanted this moment to last forever. I stepped away from everyone after Doctor Strange sent everyone home. I looked back at MJ, Ned, and Dawn. Before the spell was complete, MJ mouthed the words, 'I love you.' Dawn waved to me right before I swung away.
