The alley was sealed off by dense, interwoven cobwebs.
If the scene inside were known to the outside World, people would be too shocked to speak.
The World's only Superhero, Spider-Man, was now bound by webs himself.
"Who are you people…"
His black lenses reflected the masked Boy and Girl. Sitting on the ground, Spider-Man now recalled that the Spider-masked Boy hadn't even taken the jewelry, clearly intending to lure him out from the start.
He had been too careless.
Who could have predicted?
Suddenly, two mysterious beings with Super Spider abilities would appear, one of whom possessed a Body of Steel that seemed immune to attacks!
The Body of Steel was truly unfair; in close-quarters combat, he would surely be at a disadvantage!
"If you want to know who we are, then please answer our questions first."
Vincent reached up and tore off his tattered shirt, which hung like rags, revealing a perfect upper body that seemed forged from steel. He looked down at Spider-Man and said.
"OK, OK. Ask away, if I can answer."
Spider-Man nodded, sensing vaguely that the two had no ill intent.
Otherwise, like some other Supervillains, they would have already tried to kill him.
Vincent stepped forward and pulled off Spider-Man's spider hood, revealing the face of a handsome, resolute Caucasian man in his thirties with a slight stubble.
At this moment,
the Caucasian man's face was full of helplessness and paleness, and he blinked innocently after losing his spider hood.
"First question, what did you do today? Especially this morning, you must answer truthfully!" Vincent asked thoughtfully.
"Uh, can I not answer that question?"
"No!"
"Alright, this morning, I stayed home," Spider-Man sighed, helplessly saying, "Specifically, I was doing what I like to do with my wife, so I never left the house."
"In broad daylight… Pervert!" The masked Girl spat, turning her face away.
"Ahem, I think that's a very normal thing," Vincent coughed, continuing to ask, "Just the normal kind? In between… nothing special happened?"
"No, at most we added a position we hadn't tried before…" Spider-Man grew even more helpless.
Gwen could no longer listen to their conversation and silently retreated to the back.
"What about noon?" Vincent asked.
Spider-Man shrugged, casually saying, "At noon, I wandered around the city, caught a car thief, and nothing strange happened."
Vincent frowned slightly and exchanged glances with Gwen behind him.
Perhaps due to their shared Spider-Sense or being 'kin,' they could sense the sincerity and helplessness in his answers.
The current Spider-Man was not lying… Today, besides some family entertainment, he really hadn't done anything.
Vincent fell into deep thought.
That is to say,
the entity that forced them to travel to this parallel World this morning was not Spider-Man?
No, that's not right.
Vincent's mind stirred; the previous dimensional barrier seemed to unilaterally target Gwen, and the Spider-Man of this parallel Universe was the only Superhero here.
Everything indicated that this matter was inextricably linked to Spider-Man.
"Sorcerer Ancient One once said that dimensions themselves are chaotic and disordered," Vincent had a flash of inspiration, muttering, "The timing might not align—the extraordinary event that caused our dimensional travel might not have happened yet in this World's present; we arrived before the extraordinary event occurred!"
…Vincent pondered for a moment, nodded to Gwen, and both simultaneously removed their spider masks.
Witnessing the young faces of the Boy and Girl, Spider-Man was a little startled: "You're…?"
They're showing their faces already?
They're not planning to kill him to silence him, are they?
"Mr. Spider-Man. Let us introduce ourselves first. I am Xi Nian Prince, and this is Gwen Stacy."
Vincent showed an incredibly sunny and friendly smile: "Just now, it was just a misunderstanding."
"Misunderstanding?" Spider-Man's mouth twitched; he had been tied up, after all.
However,
Vincent's next words completely stunned him.
"The two of us come from another parallel Universe similar to yours, yet completely different!"
…All the cobwebs in the alley were cleaned up.
Vincent and Gwen untied the webs, releasing the bound Spider-Man, and the three moved their conversation to the rooftop of a nearby building.
Having confirmed that Spider-Man was not the mastermind behind the dimensional event, Vincent simply revealed his and Gwen's identities and origins.
"I see."
Spider-Man first looked enlightened, then gazed at Vincent and Gwen, exclaiming in wonder, "People from another parallel Universe? That's truly incredible!"
"I also find it a bit incredible, but this is what's happening now," Vincent shrugged.
"I believe everything you say is true."
Spider-Man nodded; their shared Spider-Sense made their communication simpler and more direct.
Of course, they still communicated verbally.
However, with the enhancement of Spider-Sense, they could intuitively feel the emotions contained in each other's words.
It was like exchanging information and data between members of the same species using another creature's unique talent.
Spider-Man spread his hands towards the two: "Alright. I can understand what you did before. Suddenly arriving in a strange parallel World, and with me being the prime suspect, if it were me, I would also act to seize the initiative."
"Thank you for your understanding, truly worthy of being the only Superhero in this World!" Vincent praised.
"I kind of feel like you're mocking me…" Spider-Man gave a wry smile, after all, he had just been knocked to the ground not long ago.
"Not at all, we're just getting to know each other through a fight!" Vincent casually patted his shoulder.
He looked at Spider-Man seriously and said, "We really need your help to return to our original World."
"Of course. The instability of the dimensional barrier will also bring many potential crises to this World," Spider-Man nodded, asking, "What do you need me to do?"
"It's very simple, just act as usual," Vincent replied.
"Just act as usual?"
Spider-Man was stunned for a moment, then quickly understood Vincent's meaning.
The extraordinary event might not have happened yet, and even if they searched the entire New York City, it would be difficult to find a way to resolve it.
Since the extraordinary event that caused the dimensional travel will happen in the future and is related to him, they just need to wait for that future to arrive as usual!
"There's one more question."
Gwen, standing nearby, suddenly raised her hand to speak.
"What question?"
Vincent and Spider-Man both looked at the Girl.
"I'm hungry," Gwen said, frowning slightly and clutching her flat stomach.
Vincent: "…"
Spider-Man: "…"
…New York, Queens.
A detached house with three stories.
The room window suddenly opened from outside in, and three figures of varying sizes successively entered the second floor.
Inside the room, the lights came on.
Spider-Man skillfully rummaged through the wardrobe and finally found a set of ordinary school uniforms: "These are the clothes I wore when I was in school. I haven't used them since graduation, so you can make do with these for now."
"Okay."
Vincent unceremoniously took them, directly putting the school uniform top onto his bare, muscular body.
Spider-Man picked up another set of men's loungewear. He tried to open the door to change outside, but as soon as the door opened, a beautiful young woman with long brown hair neatly tied up was standing outside.
The beautiful young woman looked to be in her early thirties, with neat, sexy brown hair and a beautiful face. Although she was wearing a slightly thick trench coat, her mature and graceful figure was still subtly visible.
"Parker, you're back?"
The beautiful young woman's greeting abruptly stopped.
Her beautiful eyes widened, curiously looking at the Boy and Girl in the room, her eyes filled with uncontrollable surprise.
Since his falling out with his best friend, this was the first time Parker had brought friends home.
"Hello, Madam."
"Hello, Sister."
Gwen and Vincent greeted her separately, with a clear difference in their titles.
The beautiful young woman was slightly startled, her gaze falling on Vincent, and she couldn't help but smile: "Why call me sister, I'm already in my thirties…"
"Really, I can't tell," Vincent said like an honest good child.
Gwen subtly took a step, blocking Vincent, waiting for him to put on his shirt completely.
Spider-Man, meanwhile, smiled proudly: "This is my wife, MJ, Mary Jane!"
"Hello," Mary Jane smiled slightly, greeting them, "You haven't had dinner yet, have you? It's ready, come down and eat with us."
"Okay," Gwen politely replied.
After Mary Jane swayed her sexy hips and went downstairs.
Vincent and Gwen both looked at Spider-Man, their expressions strange.
"What's wrong? You didn't think I wasn't married, did you?" Spider-Man scratched his head, did he look that bad?
"No. Just now, she called you 'Parker'?" Gwen asked.
"That's right," Spider-Man pouted, "You don't know my name yet, do you? My real name is Parker, Peter Parker."
Peter Parker?
Vincent and Gwen looked at the thirty-something, tall and strong Spider-Man in front of them. In their minds, a thin boy of about twelve years old simultaneously appeared.
Well, the two figures couldn't be reconciled at all… Dinner time.
Vincent and Gwen sat on two temporarily added chairs, having dinner with this World's Peter Parker's family.
Looking at Aunt Mei, who had wrinkles and was visibly older but appeared more capable.
Vincent and Gwen found it even harder to reconcile her with the sexy and charming plump Aunt Mei from their own World.
However, Aunt Mei in this World was just as kind and enthusiastically hosted Vincent and Gwen.
Peter Parker looked at the Black-haired Boy sitting next to Gwen, who quickly became familiar with MJ and Aunt Mei, and suddenly felt a pang of discomfort.
It was as if the protagonist's halo, which had always hung over his head, had suddenly changed hands… Damn it, this is the protagonist's template!
Peter Parker couldn't help but voice the complaint in his heart!
…After dinner.
Gwen went out to buy clothes and daily necessities, and Peter Parker naturally paid for them.
Watching Vincent continue to receive attentive care from MJ in his living room, Peter Parker finally couldn't help but grab the Boy's arm and walk towards the door: "I'll take you somewhere!"
Outside the house.
Peter Parker led Vincent to the corner of the yard, where there was a small storage-like room. He took out a key and unlocked the storage room door. The small room suddenly opened a metal portal, and a white light full of technology spilled out from within!
It was clearly a hidden Underground Elevator!
Parker and Vincent took the elevator down, passing various cars and high-tech equipment displayed on elevated platforms, like a large technology exhibition hall!
All the way to the bottom.
Vincent became even more surprised. The bottom floor was a spacious and flat metal main hall. A glass wardrobe on one side displayed spider suits, all in completely different styles and types, with twelve visible at a glance.
Seeing Vincent's surprised expression, Peter Parker immediately felt a sense of satisfaction. He enthusiastically raised his hand and explained: "These are the combat suits I've developed over the past ten years to fight different Supervillains."
"There's a warrior's uniform from the Negative Zone, the Negative Zone Phantom Suit; there's an anti-electro suit with extremely strong insulation for fighting Electro; there's an excellent, optimized advanced Spider Suit that excels in all aspects; there's a high-tech product made of metal, the extremely powerful Iron Spider-Man Armor; there's a lightweight stealth suit that can weaken sonic attacks…"
Getting excited, Peter Parker waved his hand nonchalantly: "Which one do you like? I can give it to you!"
"Then thank you!"
Vincent accepted unceremoniously: "Also, can you modify it? Gwen should also have a set."
When the future extraordinary event occurs, ordinary clothes will simply not be able to withstand his combat.
"Alright."
Peter Parker choked for a moment, suddenly feeling like he had gotten himself into something.
"Oh, come over here."
Peter Parker seemed to remember something and led Vincent to one side of the bottom floor's main hall, soon arriving at an Underground Room for storing intelligence.
On one wall of the Underground Room, there were pictures hung with cobwebs, all of fierce or strange-looking individuals.
Among them,
the photo hanging in the center was of a bald man in a black suit, tall and burly like a human tank. His face was stern without anger, his eyes showing ruthlessness.
"His name is Kingpin. He's the biggest mob boss in New York, and even the entire U.S., in this World."
Peter Parker's face was solemn: "I've dealt with him several times; he's a tricky villainous enemy. Recently, he seems to be recruiting some illegal subordinates, and I suspect he has some terrible plan."
"Your appearance actually confirms my suspicions."
Peter Parker paused, then said in a deep voice: "If a dimensional space chaos really occurs in the future of this World, it's highly likely he caused it!"
"If there's a suspect, then it's easier to handle,"
Vincent narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Since you've made your plan, when do you intend to act?"
"In one day," Peter Parker held up a finger, "I need to pinpoint their hidden location, which will take some time."
"Alright then," Vincent nodded, saying decisively, "In one day, we'll gather here again and set off together!"
Who cares about mob bosses or Supervillains.
The number of Supervillains who had died at Vincent's hands was already countless, and one or two from this parallel Universe wouldn't make a difference.
