(Peter: POV)
Puffing out my chest I took in a deep breath and then exhaled.
"Ah yeah, that's the stuff. Nothing beats that home reality air." I spoke.
Once again glad to be back in my New York.
"Holy shit!" Gwen shouted.
Her words leading me to turn to her immediately. "What, what's the matter?" I asked her in worry.
"I was just checking my phone to see issues cropped up while we were gone, and when I did I learned no time has passed at all since we left and returned." Gwen explained.
"Most likely a time dilation effect created by the properties of the quantum tunnel we passed through." I replied. "Either way it means we don't need to cover with anyone. Oh and that reminds me, I need to get the flashdrive I brought back us to the Web as quickly as possible." I spoke.
Since I have no idea if it will suffer the same degradation effect me, Gwen, and the other spiders suffered while in Earth-1610B.
Hearing my words Gwen nodded.
Once she did the two of us then immediately started heading back for the Web.
Where after we arrived I immediately plugged the flashdrive with the data I brought back from the other dimension into one of the computer terminals, Spinner being able to download all of it without any trouble.
The moment he told me this I let out a sigh of relief.
"Hey, what's up Parker? What was all of that just now?"
Only for Felicia to immediately question me right after.
As she did I turned to face her. "I'll tell you about it later. Since it's quite the story." I explained.
Me knowing in my heart it would not be the last story of this particular nature I would have in my life.
Why?
Simple.
I'm Spider-Man.
But just like the Peter Parker of Earth-1610B put it I wouldn't trade it for anything.
Since I love being Spider-Man.

[June 18th, 2011]
Their eyes as wide as saucers Felicia, Ned, Harry, and Liz stared straight at Gwen and I.
All of us in the Web.
Where Gwen and I had just finished explaining our first multiversal adventure to our dear, dear friends.
"Wait, let me get this straight. A version of this Kingpin guy from another reality created this machine to regain his family, whom he lost fighting his own world's version of Spider-Man. Another version of Peter. Who the Kingpin and his allies managed to kill. Only for another Spider-Man to be born and take his place which you, Gwen, and a bunch of other spider people from other universes helped trained, and also helped defeat his realities version of the Kingpin, before returning here to our reality." Harry spoke.
Gwen and I easily nodding at his words.
"Yep." I replied.
"Exactly right." Gwen added.
"Is this kind of stuff a normal thing when you're a superhero?" Liz asked.
"Eh, it depends on the type of hero you are." I said.
"Well at least we now know what happens when your the Spider-Man type. Multiversal adventures." Felicia spoke.
Having no idea how right she was.
Which is a bit disturbing, given she doesn't have her probability-based manipulation powers in this reality.
Or should I say she doesn't have those powers in this reality yet?
"Don't forget having strange luck, and annoying villains and enemies with great jokes." I added.
"Great jokes. Sure, keep telling yourself that Parker." Felicia replied. "But seriously, I can't believe that you and Gwen traveled to another reality."
"Yeah." Ned agreeed. "Oh, did you meet another me?"
"We didn't." Gwen replied.
"Though due my efforts we did get something just as valuable. Information." I spoke.
"On what?" Harry asked.
"Several things. Especially concerning people or organizations that may exist, don't exist yet, or exist in a completely different fashion here in our own reality." I explained. "Spinner." I spoke. I then snapped my fingers.
"Of course Peter." Spinner replied.
He then brought up several files I brought back from the other dimension on the terminals surrounding our group.
Specifically in relation to Spider-Man villains, especially ones that have already appeared in our own reality.
The moment the files appeared the others began to look them over.
"Looking at the files Spinner just pulled up you can see what I mean. Given the information you see on the terminal screens relating to several people closely resembles their history in our own reality, albeit with either a few or very drastic changes." I spoke.
"I'll say. I mean in this other reality Doctor Octavious is a woman." Harry mused.
"Exactly." I replied. "Not to mention she's not married either. Which is a prime example of what I'm about talking. This information is valuable to us, but we can't be overly-reliant on it. Especially in some cases."
After saying this I snapped my fingers.
Once I did Spinner brought up a new series of files I brought back from the other universe.
"Dad, Mark!"
Leading Liz to shout when I did.
Since two of the files I had Spinner prepare for this next showing relate specifically to Liz's father and brother.
"Wait, Liz's dad is one of your potential future enemies?" Harry asked, as he read the other world files on Adrian and Mark.
"In the other reality he was, but here not likely. Given they have vastly different backgrounds." I explained. "Same goes for her brother."
Though I'm still going to keep an eye on them just to be on the safe side.
Hearing my words Liz breathed a sigh of relief.
"Good to know." Liz said. "Though this is still all a bit crazy Peter. Especially considering the other you was engaged to my brothers girlfriend's."
"Yeah...Wait, what did you just say?" I asked.
"My brother Mark, he just started dating a girl named Mary Jane Watson, who looks exactly like the woman the other you who died in the other reality was engaged too. Though instead of trying to become a model instead Mark's girlfriend wants to be a reporter. At least from what he's told me about her." Liz explained.
"I see." I replied.
Though I am freaking out a bit on the inside, since I just leaned a version of Mary Jane Watson exists in this reality.
Not that that truly means anything to me.
Since Peter isn't a cheater.
But still, the information is certainly a surprise.
"Cool." I replied. "So, do you think you could introduce us to her sometime?" I asked.
Given I want to see how different she is from the other versions of Mary Jane Watson I know from my first life.
"Sure. I don't see why not." Liz agreed.
"Thanks." I replied.
"Ugh, Peter this Venom guy looks nasty." Ned spoke.
His gaze focused on Venom's file.
Though thankfully I've found no traces of the Klyntar species in this reality, nor the Life Foundation.
But again, knowing my luck I'll likely still have my very own smybiote saga.
Though it does leave me curious which version of the smybiotes, and in turn Venom, will appear in this reality.
Will it actually be the alien race the Klyntar, or will Venom be an artificial creation like in the Marvel Earth-1610 comics and Ultimate Spider-Man television show I watched in my previous life.
Though honestly I'm hoping for a man-made Symbiote, since if the Klyntar do exist then so does Knull and I don't want to deal with that Over Powered guy if I don't have to.
Given my universe is definitely already full of so many others.
"You can say that again Ned." I replied. "And these are just the files relating specifically to Spider-Man. Don't even get me started on everything else." I spoke.
Before snapping my fingers again for Spinner to bring up yet and she new set of files.
This one relating to broader subjects that should be apparent in both realities.
"Damn, these Avengers look badass." Felicia commented.
As her eyes were immediately drawn to the Avengers file from the other reality.
"Hey Parker, when is the Avengers in our reality going to form up?" She asked me.
Given I've told Felicia and the others about the Avengers Initiative I'm apart of.
"No clue." I said. Partially lying.
Since if my foreknowledge still holds true it will be around sometime next year during this exact frame of time. Give or take a few weeks.
"But when we do you'll know it." I replied to her.
"Great." Felicia said.
Before turning her gaze to another file dealing with heroes. "Hey, who are the X-Men?"
Only one of the most badass hero teams in Marvel.
Even with how the Fox films incredibly nerfed almost all of them save for my boy Wolverine, who carried those films, along with Deadpool, until they came to an end.
To say nothing of how even Marvel dropped the ball on several X-Men related characters.
Like how they turned Scott, professor Xavier, and even Beast, into deranged and manipulative sociopaths from their helpful and heroic selves in the earliest X-Men media.
"No idea. But from the other Peter's files they seem to be a heroic team of parahumans, who have gained their abilities through the X-Gene, and work to make the world a safer place for those like them." I explained.
Despite wanting to fanboy so hard over the X-Men.
But I can't.
Not yet.
At least until we meet face-to-face in this reality.
And I can't wait for that day.
(A/N: By the way I have decided to change the term for how I will refer to sueprhumans and superheros in this fic from Evos to Parahumans, but I'm too lazy to go back and change it in earlier chapters. So remember it from now on readers)
"Really?" Liz asked.
"Yeah." I said.
"Wait, my dad and I are evil in this other reality?" Harry asked.
His gaze focused on a terminal containing the files relating to himself and Norman created by the other Peter.
As he spoke up I shook my head.
Then started going into another explanation.
But one I didn't mind.
Since again, this is because I'm Spider-Man and I love being him.
No matter what happens.
