The Watchtower loomed above Earth like a silent sentinel. Inside its polished halls, Peter Parker stood by a wide window, arms crossed over his chest, watching the clouds shift below.
This wasn't his world. Not really. But the Great Web had spun its threads, and now, in this reality, Peter Parker was a recognized member of the Justice League.
He still wasn't sure what to think of it.
The familiar voice of J'onn J'onzz stirred him from his thoughts.
"Spider-Man. Batman and the others have departed for their mission. It's time."
Peter turned, nodding. "Right. Heading to Mount Justice." He took a breath, adjusted the wrist web-shooters beneath his gloves, and made his way toward the teleport pad. "Let's go meet the kids."
The energy beam enveloped him, and in a flash of white light, the Watchtower faded.
He reappeared in the heart of Mount Justice, the League's original headquarters — now retrofitted as the home base for the younger generation of heroes. The place was quiet, except for the hum of technology and the gentle drip of underground water.
A second flash illuminated the room, and two blurs emerged.
"Called it," a red blur said, resolving into Kid Flash — Wally West — with his signature cocky grin. "We're the last ones to show up again."
Right behind him appeared The Flash, tall and calm in his stance, giving Wally a quick glance before turning to Peter. "Glad you're here."
Peter raised a hand in greeting. "Fashionably late with style."
"Always," Wally added.
Another teleport beam flared — this time bringing in Robin and Batman, followed by Green Arrow and his protégé, Speedy. Everyone was assembling. Peter stepped to the side, giving the young heroes room to breathe. His presence wasn't exactly expected — at least not by the kids — but the League wanted him to observe and maybe even mentor a little. He wasn't sure he was up for it.
The older heroes stood in a row, solemn and imposing. Behind them, the younger sidekicks gathered, anticipation clear in their faces. Today was the day — the day they believed they'd be welcomed into the League.
Batman cleared his throat. "You've all done well," he said. "We're proud of the progress you've made."
Speedy stepped forward, his chest out. "Then we're ready. Right? To join the League."
The words hung in the air.
But Batman didn't nod. Instead, he gave a controlled response. "You're not ready for the League. Not yet."
Peter felt the tension spike instantly.
Speedy's face darkened. "What? After everything we've done?"
Green Arrow put a hand on his shoulder. "Roy—"
"No," Speedy snapped, shrugging him off. "You keep us on a leash! We've been risking our lives, taking hits, proving ourselves, and still — what, we get the tour?"
"It's not a tour," Batman said evenly.
Peter stepped slightly forward, instinctively. "Look, I get how this feels," he said carefully, meeting Speedy's eyes. "But they're not saying you'll never be ready. Just that today isn't the day."
Speedy scoffed. "Says the guy who's already in the League. Must be easy to talk down from your perch on the Watchtower."
Peter hesitated. He couldn't argue with that.
Before he could answer, Speedy turned and walked off. "I'm done playing sidekick."
Green Arrow called out, "Roy—!" but he was already gone.
A heavy silence fell over the room.
Robin glanced at Peter, then back at Batman. "So... what now?"
Flash stepped forward, trying to ease the tension. "There's something we do want you to see."
He motioned toward the large monitor behind them. On it, live footage flickered — scenes of chaos in Gotham, Central City, and Star City. Ice villains on the loose: Mr. Freeze, Captain Cold, Icicle, and Killer Frost, all launching simultaneous attacks.
Peter leaned forward, eyebrows raised. "Coordinated attacks?"
"Possibly," Batman said. "The League is handling the situation."
Green Arrow added, "But something about the timing feels... off."
Wally was already bouncing in place. "Let us help."
Batman shook his head. "No. You stay here."
Robin frowned. "Seriously?"
But the League was already turning to leave.
As the zeta tubes activated, teleporting the senior heroes away, Peter stayed behind — as he'd agreed with Diana earlier. Observe. Advise. Don't interfere... unless absolutely necessary. Typical Wonder Woman logic.
When the echoes of departure faded, only Peter and the three teens remained.
"So..." Robin looked around. "Now what?"
Peter gave a half-smile beneath the mask. "Now you get the tour."
Kid Flash groaned. "Oh come on."
Peter began walking toward the corridor. "Hey, it's not all bad. There's a kitchen."

Well as you can see some things were not mentioned like Superman appearing and warning them about Wotan's spell that will cover the sun because it is outside the Earth.
Also I will stick to what I see no matter what.
