Due to Peter’s distraction, Doctor Strange botched up his spell, which resulted in nobody forgetting their memories, but it also caused a hole to appear through three universes, somehow picking up only one person in two of these universes and dropping them in the third.
Meanwhile, in that last universe, two people that we know well were trying to enjoy a date despite having to change their appearances for the sake of their security. The man, Peter, had platinum blond hair due to a dare made with one of his recent friends, as well as a pro Spider-Man t-shirt. Concerning the female, Michelle had a light brown skin with straight red hair inspired by the model MJ Watson, and both young New Yorkers wore sunglasses.
For their date, they decided to go to the park, so they went to the closest one - the Flushing Meadows Corona Park – to enjoy some sun and relax.
Their date started well, with them talking about what they could do next to stop being outlaws, and enjoying each other’s company as well as kisses, when suddenly the two individuals not from this dimension silently and separately appeared next to them.
The male, sensing that something was wrong, tried to cover himself and his date, but it unfortunately didn’t work.
“Hey, you guys, would you know where I am please? I’m new around here, so I don’t really know this place.” said this traveller.
“No, sorry mate, we’re tourists too” replied the local man with a flawless English accent “If that can help you, you’re in Queens, a borough of New York City”.
Before the lost person replied, another person exclaimed “What? Spider-Man wanted for murder? What is that joke? I did noth…, er…, I did not think the government would go that far! From when is this newspaper?” This new person looked a bit older than the new citizen.
The only female out of the four of them quickly showed her active mind by detecting the hesitation from the more recent intruder. “Yes, what did you not do exactly, sir, if we exclude interrupting our date?“ she said, with her sharp mouth.
While his high school crush was talking, the teenage mutant used his sunglasses to send her a message through EDITH, the AI in the glasses.
After reacting to what was being said about her boyfriend, she heard her phone ping, so she took it out and feigned opening the Maps app to help the lost traveller, but in reality she checked the message she received.
Hey M, pay attention please, there’s something sus with them both I think
Is that what your instincts of 🕷 Lord tell you?
Haha, really funny
Could you please do something? Can you check their wrists, if they have something there?
I get what you mean, I was thinking that as well
Reinforced in her idea, the girl went near the first person. “Where do you want to go, er, sir?”
“Call me Parker, and I am searching for the Avengers’ tower” he replied. “It will be my first workday, and I don’t really know where to go”.
“Are you sure about that, Spider?” She answered, whispering the last word in the ear of her discussion partner.
“Wait, you’re Spider-Man?” Michelle!’s boyfriend said, pointing to the younger of the two newcomers.
“Huh, Spider-Man? I thought I was the only one!” the older man with the newspaper said, pointing also to the person accused of being the hero.
“Hold on, you guys are Spider-Men too? That’s really strange, I didn’t know there were other people like me” replied the Peter that didn’t change of universe, while pointing right back at the other men.
