Chapter 1

The chill that permeated the atmosphere was not one of low temperatures or from a friendly breeze, but from the worry of all who had gathered in the station of the Watcher. Uatu watched as some of the greatest beings in existence gathered where he kept his records, keeping an eye to update his records as this meeting would change the fate of this universe. The large bald alien could see far and wide with his eyes, and his blue robes were as ancient as he was.

The Living Tribunal was the first to arrive, shrinking his massive golden body to fit in the limited space while his three pale heads would be enough to put off most humans. Not far behind him was the beautiful Eternity, her body golden like the Living Tribunal but showing the everlasting life of all things, all of time. Next was her companion Infinity, her brother that composed of everything in existence, the entire universe made manifest as one could see entire galaxies within his body. With those two resided the powers of time and space itself. Between them was the recent Singularity, a pocket dimension given life and now taking the form of a teenage human girl made of a vast collection of stars. The last to arrive was Stan Lee, the elderly human who had been chosen by the shaper of the universe to know of all the beings who would live. His opinion and knowledge of how things would transpire would be needed for this meeting, and his warm smile on his moustached face and brown sweater with matching pants made people feel comfortable.

As every being shrank to make room for each other, the man smiled at the sight. "Thank you all for coming. And thank you Uatu for allowing us to gather here."
"It is the least I can do, Stan." Looking at the Earth that lay before them, the Watcher added, "I have watched this world for over three billion years, but never has a crisis of this magnitude come up."

"Crisis? What crisis?" Singularity asked Infinity.

"The final members of our group." Infinity warned them all while answering Singularity's question. "Death and Oblivion have come out in open rebellion."

"Almost two thousand years ago she fought against the Son of the one who is above us all when he ordered her to release the souls of all who had died. An order where she refused to surrender her collection, and so she chose to strike at the child of her maker." Uatu recounted the history he had watched. "As was expected she lost, and her power over the souls of all living beings was broken forever. That was the decree her master gave at that incident, and from then on Death lost all power over the souls of the dead.

"But now because of the actions of Red Skull and M.O.D.O.K. she believes she has found a way to strike back at the one she should've served. Thanks to the Tesseract she knows that this is not the only universe in existence, and she intends to claim the souls of every victim she can in all of them, and Oblivion has made it his primary objective to see to it she succeeds."
Raising her hand like the child she was, Singularity asked, "So she intends to attack the multiverse? The multiverse isn't exactly a secret among us."

"Let me explain." Stan looked at her. "When Uatu says other universes he's not referring to the large dimensions that exist parallel to us that are almost exact copies. He's referring to universes with rules that are different from ours, and have their own heroes and villains doing battles in struggles of good and evil, light and darkness. In those universes the heroes of our reality are just the characters of fiction just like their heroes and villains are to the people of Earth."

"And Death already has begun gathering souls filled with darkness to her cause." Uatu warned them. "In the universe where the Tesseract now lies she has begun forming a group calling themselves the Warlords of Sin, and from our universe both Hela and Thanos have pledged their undying loyalty to her cause. And if she succeeds in the three universes that now make up the whole, her lust will only grow and she will send her forces out to do the same to each and every dimension in existence until all belongs to her."
Frowning, Eternity added, "She believes she can cast our maker down and take his place in the cosmos. She fails to understand that what she seeks is to destroy the purpose of existence itself. Not only will she destroy every being who lives, but she will destroy us and herself if she ends up successful."
"That's horrible." The cosmic child shuddered at that. "Is there nothing we can do to stop her?"

"That is why we have gathered." The Living Tribunal told her. "We have gathered to do as she did, and prepare heroes to face her and the minions she gathers."

"Part of the boss's orders." Stan added. "It's going to be difficult on Earth because thanks to Zemo and the Sokovian Accords the planet no longer has its mightiest heroes. The Avengers have broken up, and now the governments seek to use Tony Stark to put together a team that'll only be obedient to them. Which is utter foolishness, but those people have some of the hardest hearts in creation."

"But there are new heroes emerging." Eternity reminded them. "Some which at first were for the Accords, but are unsure of the laws now. They can be guided back to the right path. Each of us is going to have to help the new heroes be ready because in less than a year Thanos will obtain all six of the Infinity Stones and use them to carry out Death's desires. They must be ready by then."

"So are we all in agreement on what needs to be done?" When every single being in the room nodding in agreement, Stan couldn't help but smile. "Excelsior. Now let us open the door to the Multiverse."

"You should take things that don't belong to you. Never know what might stick to you." Spider-Man quipped as he webbed the purse snatcher to the wall. "Now if you'll hand me that, your friendly neighborhood Spider-Man will be the local lost and found." Swinging over to the woman who had called for help, the webhead handed her purse back. "Here you go." Once that was done, he swung away while the woman thanked him for his heroics.

As nice as it was to get thanked for doing good deeds the teenage hero was yearning for something more. It was about two weeks ago when he had been recruited by none other than Tony Stark himself to help the Avengers fight the rogue Captain America and the traitors who sided with him. One of the mistakes of bringing a teenager into a group of professional heroes is it makes them feel omnipotent, like they can take on any challenge the universe throws their way.

Mr. Stark, or Iron Man as the rest of the world knew him, had assigned Peter with helping out around Queens once they got back to the states, but that didn't feel like enough. He wanted to take on world-threatening threats like Ultron or Loki. He didn't see why he wasn't allowed to as he had agreed to sign the Sokovian Accords. As he perched on a gargoyle looking over the city he was protecting he wished for something more to do.

Pausing he took a look at the suit that he was wearing. Two weeks ago he had been using a homemade suit which had comprised of a red hoodie and blue yoga pants with a red mask and terrible goggles. When he agreed to help Mr. Stark with the divide in the Avengers the billionaire gave him a onesie that was blue and red, with black web patterns running across the red. The ends of his hands and feet were also red with the black web pattern, making it appear he was wearing gloves and boots. Another thing people noticed was along the shoulders and top of his "boots" were black lines. Peter didn't know why but they made his suit look good.

As the sun was setting he had done a huge list of good deeds, but hadn't heard back from either Stark or his chauffeur Happy Hogan. He had sent hundreds of texts and had not heard back from either of them. The boredom was starting to get to him, so as he made his call to Happy he also voiced his concerns about wanting to do more. As usual he ended up talking to the answering machine.

Once he made his report he hung up and began swinging back to his apartment when he noticed something odd. Some guys in masks were moving towards an ATM, and when some pulled out blowtorches and crowbars he smiled under the mask. Robbers with a bad sense of timing. Perfect way to relieve some of the yearning he had.

As he landed on a light pole, he used his webbing to grab some of the weapons out of their hand and pull them away. "You know, it would be easier to get your funds back if you just used your pin number, or called the banks themselves." Zipping down, he proceeded to pull the guns two of them pulled out and hit them with their own weapons. Leaping up on the wall, he taunted one of the guys. "Come on. Just pretend I'm a punching bag. What? Can't get a workout from me? Guess that's the punch line." With that quip he delivered a punch to the guy and knocked him out before webbing up some of the other thugs before they could make a break for it.

"And then there was one." Spidey turned to the last guy who pulled out the strangest gun he had ever seen. It was bulky and had these three prongs with disks coming from the front. Leaping up, the teenage hero prepared to take him out when suddenly it felt like gravity was turned off. He noticed the gun seemed to be emitting a glow as the thug threw him against the wall. "Whoa. What is that? The latest model for the new Star Wars show?"

"Enjoy your flight." THe thug said as he threw Spiderman back. Webbing a trash can, he pulled it with him while knocking the guy with the gun out. The effect was it turned off the anti-gravity problem, but reactivated it with a car a family was driving. As they began to call out for help, Spider-Man began webbing the car to try and pull it down as gravity turned back on for him. Pulling with all his might all he managed to accomplish was pulling the fender off.

"Oh, crap." The webhead said as the car lifted higher threatening to send the family to the upper atmosphere. Shooting more webs to attach the car to the ground Spidey pulled on them with his might to try and save the family from an unwanted trip to the new frontier. With a great tug the wallcrawler managed to pull it out of the anti-gravity field and crash it into the street. Worry filling him the red and blue superhero ran over to the family. "Is everyone all right? Nothing broken, right?"

"We're all right," The father said as his wife checked on their children, "but what was that crazy stuff outside?"

"I don't know, but I'm going to find out." Turning back to where the thug was last seen, Spider-Man's face feel behind the mask when he saw the man was gone with the gun. Terrific. Now there was a thief on the loose with some tech right out of a ScyFy channel movie. Happy was going to love this.

"Happy, the craziest thing happened." Spidey talked into his phone while swinging home. "There were these ATM robbers and they had-."
"Slow down, kid. I don't have time for ATM robberies. I need to get all this stuff out of here in two weeks." Happy told him over the phone.

Stopping on a TV network dish, Spidey asked, "You're moving?"

"Yeah, don't you watch the news? Tony sold Avengers Tower. We're relocating to a new facility further upstate."
"What about me?"

"What about you?"

"What if Mr. Stark needs me, or something big comes up? How will I help?"

"Just stay close to the ground. Don't do anything dangerous. It's my job to make sure you act responsibly."
"I am responsible."

"Look, I need to get to work, so I gotta go. Good-bye." With that, Happy hung up without letting Spider-Man tell him about the dangerous weapon that was out there.

Rolling his eyes, Spider-Man swung a few more blocks until he managed to get to his apartment. Sneaking in through the window, he proceeded to get out of his suit and into some civilian clothes before going out to see his family.

"...while attempting to stop a robbery witnesses reported a thug using an anti-gravity weapon to stop the being known on YouTube as Spider-Man from stopping them. Later the gun was used to threaten a family that was saved by the wallcrawler." Daily Bugle Communications was reporting on TV via its new news anchor. "The family was checked in to a local hospital, but suffered no serious injuries. As for the thief, police have put out a manhunt for locals with strange weapons. If you see anything that doesn't look like it belongs on Earth call your local law enforcement immediately."

While this was playing on TV, May Parker finished getting dinner for the two of them ready. A woman in her early forties, it had been over a year since her husband died. Due to the bills of maintaining their home she and Peter had to move from the suburbs to an apartment in Queens. Despite the fact that her black hair was getting some grey now May remained a strong woman who refused to let the dark side of the city she loved get the better of her. Tonight she was wearing the Darth Vader apron Uncle Ben had given her the last Christmas they had together over her golden tank top and jeans.

"Hey Aunt May." Peter greeted his aunt who looked his way.

"Oh, hi Peter. I didn't hear you come in. How was the internship with Stark?" She asked while she set his plate of lasagna and vegetables on the table.

"It was great, though I did learn something strange." As he poked at his food with his fork, he looked at his relative. "Did you know Mr. Stark sold Avengers Tower?"

Looking at him, she answered, "It's the biggest news story out there apart from the results of the Avengers fallout. Mr. Stark says it's to better help with the more efficient Avengers, though I think it's a wad of crap." Taking a seat opposite her nephew she continued, "It's obvious there's no team anymore. Most of the ones who signed the Accords are either dead or wanted for breaking the terms they agreed to. Far as I can tell Iron Man is the only real Avenger left."

Thinking about the losses from the event people were calling the Avenger Civil War, he asked, "Do you think Cap was wrong?"

"The Accords are meant to protect the people." May gave her answer. "If some heroes refused to reveal who they are and become civil servants, then maybe they were never heroes after all."

"That's not what Jameson was saying. He argued that Cap was in the right."
"Well, Jameson's opinion doesn't matter anymore. Not since he was murdered by that horrible Mortem person."

Peter thought about his battle with the dark warrior at Germany. Yes the guy fought like a demon, like a man possessed, but there was something else. When he saw who it was under the mask he backed off as if he hadn't been expecting someone a few years younger than him. If Mortem was really a villain, why did he spare Peter? And yet how he had ended the life of the reporter for what he had been saying about the whole ordeal seemed to clash. If only there was a way to find out more.

With a sigh, May said, "Well, Benjamin wouldn't want us worrying about things like this. He'd be talking about how we still have heroes like Spider-Man protecting people like that family. It's a comfort knowing he's out there."

"This Spider-Man is one of the heroes who'll help stop Death?" Singularity asked Stan as one eye grew smaller in her version of raising an eyebrow she did not have. "No offense, but I don't see how someone who crawls up walls and shoots webs can be of assistance."
"Learn to look beyond this universe. Sure this Spidey doesn't have a lot of experience like so many of his counterparts, but in many universes Spider-Man ends up growing to be one of the greatest heroes who ever lived. Because of his efforts many universes continue to exist." The moustached man explained as they looked from Uatu's station.

Shrugging, Singularity said, "Okay. If you say so."

"Now, remember what Infinity told you about opening the door to the multiverse. Open too many at once and you risk flooding this universe with beings who shouldn't be granted access to certain universes. We don't need another Thanos coming."

Nodding, Singularity concentrated on opening the multiversal door just a tiny crack to allow something through but not a whole lot. Down on Earth the city of New York reported a temporary power outage that was quickly restored. Everyone was unaware of the door to the multiverse opening, except for scientists in certain branches of the governments and companies that were trying to profit from the chaos the Tesseract wrought before its move to the other universe.

"Excelsior." Stan praised the young cosmic being. "Well done for your first try. Now to see if the ones chosen to come are up to the challenge of getting the latest Spidey incarnation ready for his tremendous responsibility."

Not much difference from when I posted this on DeviantArt, except I added a bit at the end with Singularity and Stan opening the door to the multiverse. Soon we're going to see who ends up coming through to this Earth, which will be designated as Earth KHD181812. Probably too much but I'm a little worried 1818 is already a taken number in the Marvel Multiverse. Though I might be okay with the addition of KHD, which I'm using to show it's connected to my many Kingdom Hearts FanFictions, and the D is for Disney. Which do you prefer, KHD181812, KHD1818, or KH1818?

And special thanks to TheGoodandtheBadXBoy and a0040pc who pointed out the errors with my chapter and the cosmic beings. Next chapter I'm definitely going to show one of the people who came through from the multiverse
