🕑 Added 2024-02-27 11:29:34 +0000 UTCLeaving Miguel to sort out his new life, Peter stepped out of a star-shaped portal, arriving in a secluded clearing in upstate New York, facing the remaining Spider-Society members who had anxiously waited over two hours.
Assuring them of Miguel's retirement, Peter dispelled their doubts of whether or not he killed their former leader by opening a portal, showing Miguel safe at his daughter's grave, still kneeling and seemingly talking to the gravestone.
Many in the crowd couldn’t help but frown as they looked through the portal, feeling bad for their former leader. They may have been mad at him for bringing them into this mess, but at the end of the day he was tricked and puppeteer’d just as much as they were.
Moving on, Peter designated this universe, his universe, as their new home base, promising an actual base of operations by their next meeting.
With all that said, Peter was about to send them all home, as he had some work to do and they had their own responsibilities to deal with, but before he could, a muscular Spider-Woman in a purple and white themed suit stepped forward and inquired, "Will we get a way to travel the multiverse ourselves again? Or will we be relying on you from now on?"
Peter responded with a cryptic smile, "I'll leave that as a surprise for our meeting next week."
With everything settled and decided, Peter instructed the Spider-People to line up. One by one, he discreetly delved into their memories, finding the location of their home universes before sending them back. But he also used the opportunity to vet each and every one of them, checking their minds for any red flags that could possible cause any future problems.
The process unfolded smoothly, each Spider-Person disappearing through a personalized portal until the clearing was once again empty, leaving only Peter, the spider group chat members, and Uncle Ben, who was still restrained for some reason.
With a snap of his fingers, Peter dispelled the restraints around Uncle Ben, allowing him to drop to the ground, sighing in relief as he found his footing, finally free after a long while.
Peter, studying Uncle Ben with a curious expression, broke the silence, "So, Uncle Ben, what's next for you? I can send you back home or, well, anywhere you'd like really. You're free to join our new organization, too, if you want."
Uncle Ben's furrowed brow reflected his uncertainty. After a moment of thoughtful silence, he spoke, "I appreciate the offer... but I've had enough of organizations, missions, and the stress that follows. I'm old and tired... Besides, I don’t know if I’ll make a good member of whatever it is you’re trying to build…”
Peter nodded understandingly, "I get it. But if you're up for it, you could join us as a trainer. No missions, no heavy lifting, no crazy responsibilities. Just help train the new members and live a more relaxed life with a fat salary to sweeten the deal."
Uncle Ben's eyes softened as he considered the proposal, finally nodding, "That sounds like something I could do. Training the next generation, passing on what I've learned. It feels right."
"Great choice," Peter grinned. "Now, do you want to go home like the others, or is there a specific place I can send you?"
Uncle Ben hesitated, a sad frown crossing his face, "There's no one waiting for me back home, Peter. No friends or family left. So, what's the point?”
Peter nodded solemnly, understanding the weight of Uncle Ben's decision. "Alright, then you can stay here if you want. I'll get you identification papers and find you a place to live as soon as possible."
Uncle Ben's eyes held gratitude as he nodded, "Thank you. I appreciate it..."
Peter clapped Uncle Ben on the shoulder, a reassuring smile on his face, "No problem, old man."

After a few more minutes of conversation with the members of the Spider group chat and Uncle Ben, Peter decided it was time to get to work. After all, he has a new multiverse level organization to build.
Sending most of the group chat home, Peter reminded them that he’d be picking them up in a week, as they’d be joining his new organization as well. The air buzzed with anticipation as each member disappeared through their personalized portals.
Once they had all left, Peter turned his attention to Gwen and Miles. Gwen, determined to stay for the time being, as she refused to return home to her father, and Miles, eager to resolve his lingering issues with Gwen.
‘If I leave now without resolving this, then I’ll regret it for the rest of my life…’ Miles thought as he glanced at Gwen.
Understanding their reasoning, Peter considered the logistics of housing them. Realizing his home wouldn't accommodate three more people, nor did he want to crowd his house, he decided to utilize the Avengers tower.
‘Besides, I needed to go there anyway…’

Stepping through a purple rimmed portal, the group arrived in Peter's office at the Avengers tower. The portal closed behind them, as Peter spoke to the open air. "Jarvis, reserve three apartments for my guests, please."
"Of course, sir. Apartments 1204, 1205, and 1206 are now reserved for your guests," Jarvis responded promptly. “And might I say, black certainly looks good on you.”
“Thank you, Jarvis.” Grinning at the efficiency and the compliment, Peter turned to Gwen, Miles, and Uncle Ben. "Follow me, I'll show you to your temporary quarters."
…

After dropping them off at their apartments, Peter returned to his office and contacted Jarvis. "Be sure to look after my guests, Jarvis. And while you're at it, call a Council meeting. I've got an important announcement."
"Certainly…” Jarvis agrees and pauses for a half a second before speaking again. “Messages have been sent to all council members, some of which are already en route."
Satisfied, Peter exited his office and headed towards the council chamber. ‘This should be a shocking and productive meeting…’
————
After waiting for about half an hour, the Council room quickly filled up, each member taking their seats. The atmosphere was tense, and all eyes were on Peter, who hadn't been around much lately, seemingly too busy for meetings.
Despite the tension, greetings and compliments were exchanged, especially about Peter's sleek black suit. The Ancient One, however, felt a peculiar energy of death and shadows emanating from him and his clothes, causing her to stare at her student in curiosity.
As everyone settled, Tony Stark couldn't hold back his impatience. "Alright, what's this all about? And it better be good, because Pepper and I were in the middle of something before you ruined it…” His stare held a mix of expectation and annoyance.
“First of all, eww, I didn’t need to know that.” Peter scrunched up his nose in disgust before getting back on track. “I've actually got two reasons for calling you all here. First, our members need a significant boost in power. To start, I suggest we administer the Super Soldier Serum to every member of the Avengers, including branches like Shield and Nightingale Agents."
Instantly, the room erupted into chaos as members voiced their opinions. Professor X expressed concerns about potential side effects on mutants, Magneto argued that they should focus on their own power, and T'Chaka questioned the need for such drastic measures. The Ancient One remained silent, observing the interactions with keen interest.
In the midst of the chaos, Tony turned to Peter, "Are you suggesting we turn everyone into a Captain America? What's your reasoning?"
Peter took a moment for everyone to calm down before answering, "A lot of things really. But mainly, the threat of the multiverse and the Council of Kang's. We need to be prepared. Strengthening our forces is the key to facing whatever comes our way."
Obviously, they knew about the Kang’s since Peter has made reports about his encounter with the exiled Kang he met when he was helping Hank Pym rescue his wife. But other than that, they were clueless.
Peter paused for a moment to let his words sink in before continuing. "And I don’t think we should stop there either. I’d like to offer extremis to a lot of our members as well. And for our high level Avengers, I also have this…” Reaching into his storage necklace, Peter pulled out a vial filled with a blue colored liquid. “Compound V, a serum, similar to the Super Soldier Serum, which grants individuals a random superpower. Of course, we’ll have to run some tests first, but ideally I’d like to administer this to every Avenger and any other trusted members that we deem fit.”
The room seemed to pause for a moment as everyone took in Peter’s words, eyeing the vial in his hand in interest. “…” The idea that he had something that could basically grant someone Meta Human-like powers was both exciting and concerning.
“Putting that aside for the time being…” Nick Fury leaned forward, skepticism in his gaze. "How do we know that the Council of Kang's, an organization we’ve only even heard of, is as big a threat as you claim?”
Peter sighed, realizing the need to reveal more, and he did. He explained everything about the former Spider-Society’s predicament, and how the Kang’s were pulling the strings. “…If I had to guess, I’d say it’s very likely that they know I’m the one who messed up their plans, which is why I believe it’s time that we… militarize, for lack of a better word. Hence the need to empower our members.”
The room fell into a contemplative silence as the weight of Peter's words settled in. The council members exchanged glances, their expressions revealing a mix of concern and seriousness.
“So, basically you poked the beehive and now we must prepare for the worst…” Magneto stated bluntly, giving Peter an accusing stare. “And why are we bothering ourselves with the problems of other universes? We have enough on our plate as it is…”
“Because they needed help and that’s what we do. We’re the good guys, remember?” Peter asked, a sarcastic smile on his face. “And If you call saving lives and stopping the plans of insidious, evil organizations ‘poking the beehive,’ then yeah, I punted that sh*t as hard as I could and the bees will swarm… It’s just a matter of time.”
Pursing his lips, Magneto remained silent, unable to counter Peter’s point. He had to remember that he’s a do-gooder now. And that means helping those in need, much to his annoyance.
Finally, T'Chaka spoke up, "If this is what it takes to protect our world, then we must consider it seriously."
Nick Fury, having no reason not to believe his son in laws words, nodded in agreement before asking, “What was your second reason for calling this meeting?”
Smirking under his mask, Peter leaned back in his chair and asked, “How do you guys feel about taking the Avengers to a whole new level?”
