Strange lead us to the front door, he opened the door, "my door is always open to you both, drop by if you need help or simply-"
"-It's open! The door's finally open!" I heard a loud booming voice call out from outside.
May and I walked out and found the 'Avengers' gathered outside Strange's front steps, J2 being the one who cried out in joy like a moron.
I sighed, "oh great, it's you guys."
"Dr. Strange, we came as soon as we heard your distress signal," American Dream walked up before immediately stopping spotting me and May. She narrowed her eyes glaring at me, "you two! Did you cause this?! What did you do now?"
"What they did was save me," Strange stepped up protectively before us, "they already helped me out, you Avengers came far too late to be off any help."
"Hey it's not our fault," said Bluestreak, the female speedster from before, "the door wouldn't open!"
"Did you try the roof?" May asked.
They all looked at her before each other. I sighed as I face palmed, "the world is so fucked if these are its protectors."
"Hey!" American Dream snarled as she climbed the stairs staring me down, "we may not be perfect, but we are the best team out there, period. Don't disrespect us!"
"Being the best you are right now isn't good enough," I snarled back staring her down, "you need to be better, much better if you want to stand a chance at being a hero."
"And what do you know about being a hero?" she asked me.
"I stopped an inter-dimensional shadow monster, and it isn't even traffic hour yet," I shot back, "you can yell and snarl at me all you want Dream, the fact of the matter is this, unless you and your team get your shit together, you won't last a year."
"I'm willing to take that bet," she glared back.
I rolled my eyes, "whatever, Spider-girl, we better get a move on, it's almost 9 o'clock."
May screamed, "what?! Oh shit! I'm so late!" she swung away, not even bothering to say goodbye.
I chuckled, "yup, she totally takes after me," I turned to Strange, "I'll think about your offer. Really, magic is...I'll admit, I always wanted to try it out."
Strange smiled, "understood, until next time," he walked back inside and snapped his fingers, causing the doors to automatically shut behind him.
I sighed as I turned back around, American Dream still standing right there. "What? You want me to kiss you or something?"
"W-what?!" she cried out, immediately moving back.
I scoffed, "honestly, a little flirting and already you're blushing like a red chilly, guess you really are like Cap in certain ways."
I walked past her and shot a web line out, I was ready to swing away when J2 called out, "hey wait a minute!"
I turned to him, "yeah?"
"A-are you really Spider-man? The original one?" he asked.
I shook my head, "I'm not the Spider-man you know, I'm his doppleganger from another world. I came into this world by accident and I'm now trying to find a way back home."
J2 and the others blinked. Bluestreak just snorted, "you know if you don't want to tell us that's fine."
I sighed, "God help me," I swung away , I can't stand to look at those morons anymore.
That day which began so action packed, actually ended up being kind of dull. School got over around 3, and right after that May and I took off web swinging, fighting crime.
We were swinging around Time's Square when May decided to address the elephant in the room.
"You thinking of accepting Strange's offer?" May asked.
I sighed, "kind of.. Doctor Strange is a master of the mystical arts. He's phenomenal in my world, and there he's just a beginner, I can't even imagine what your world's Strange can do" I think, I haven't really seen him so I wouldn't know, "so yeah. The offer is very tempting."
"Right," May nodded, "but I mean come on, magic?"
I shrugged, "there is more on this world than just heaven and Earth May, you need to have a very flexible mind if you want to live in the superhero world."
"So you have experienced this stuff before?"
I glared, "yes, in a way," 'Doom,' "I haven't met my version of Dr. Strange yet, I know off him and his battles, but I haven't meet him. Actually, that's one of the major reasons I don't know if I should accept Strange's offer or not."
"Why is that?"
"If I learn magic I'm opening up myself to a new pantheon of villains. I don't know about you, but I'm happy enough with my bad guys as it is."
"What do you mean Pete? Aren't you just going to learn magic?"
"Yes, but being the apprentice of Stephen Strange is a very prestigious title. It puts a giant target on my back. Like imagine what would happen if knew you were the original Spider-man's kid and not just some copycat like they think you are. All of your dad's old enemies would come out of the woodwork trying to kill you. Same thing with Strange."
"If it's that dangerous maybe you shouldn't go," May said cautiously.
"Yeah...but I mean come on! It's magic! Plus Strange is known to travel between dimensions, maybe he could help me get home faster. Who knows how long I have to wait before going back home? I can't leave my city unprotected, not to mention my aunt and uncle."
