I turned to him, "is it gone?"
Reed nodded, "yes, I made sure to dismantle it and wipe its system from the servers. It won't ever be used again."
"Good," I glared, "I don't know what you were thinking..."
"Peter...what happened?" Susan asked, her hand over mine, "what happened to you...when you went through that portal?"
I smiled, "something freaking awesome," both Reed and Sue were startled at my smile, I guess that's to be expected, I didn't smile much before. "In fact, I have pictures!"
I took out my phone, the one I carried with me all throughout my journey, to Earth 982, to Mephisto's realm and eventually back home.
"Sexy, display these on the TV," I called out, my AI doing just there, mirroring my phone screen onto the big screen TV.
"This, is Franklin Richards," I pulled up a photo of my and Franky, it was right after our journey in the negative zone, he looked exhausted, but happy, with one arm over my shoulders and a grin one his face.
"Franklin?" Sue blinked.
"Richards?" Reed blinked.
I grinned, "the future son of Sue and Reed Richards," I swiped the photo displaying the Fantastic Five in all their glory, "in the world where I went too, everything was older. And instead of four of you, there was five. Johnny, Ben, Reed,Franklin and Johnny's wife Lyja."
"That green woman is Johnny's wife?!" Sue gasped.
"Yep," I nodded.
"Wait...where am I?" Reed asked, "I don't see myself in the picture."
"You're right there," I pointed at the grey robot, "you lost your body in the future, but your mind was still intact. So you transfered it into a robot body….kind of badass is you ask me."
"This is amazing…." Sue replied as I spent an hour talking to them about what I saw. I avoided topics like being Strange's apprentice and fighting the devil, but the adventures I had with Franklin and the rest were an open book.
It was around ten in the night when I drove back home. I got Doc to bring the car back from the Avengers tower on autopilot, I sort of forgot I left it there. I changed into my normal clothes and walked inside, I was kind of expecting to see Peter, MJ and May, but instead I got my other family, Ben, May and Richard, all looking very worried.
I walked in, closing the door behind me, "hey, sorry I'm late. There was a mix up at the lab."
"Peter, oh thank God," Richard rushed to me, smothering me with a hug, "are you alright?"
"I told you, I'm fine," I sighed hugging him back, "nothing happened."
Ben smiled, "we told him that, but he kept insisting something was wrong. Did you do something funny Peter?"
I chuckled, "no, nothing too bad," I smiled at Richard who looked away, a little angry but doing his best to control it, "actually….I have something to say to you guys."
"What is it dear?" May asked, worried.
"Thank you," I smiled, "I know it's been...difficult having to deal with me after Felicia and Doom. But...thanks, for not giving up."
Ben got up, he ruffled my hair with a grin, "never."
"Peter...you seem...happier," May said cautiously.
I chuckled, "yeah, I finally pulled my head out of my ass."
"Language," Richard scolded. I grumbled, 'so that's where future Peter Parker gets it from.'
"What happened Peter?" Ben asked curiously, "you seem...different."
I grinned, "just got some time to my to gain some perspective," suddenly my stomach began to groan, "ah...also an appetite it seems."
Ben laughed, "alright then, let's get you something to chow down on. And while we do that, you can tell us what exactly happened."
I groaned, great, I have to lie again. But dinner that night was nice. I never realised how much I missed having these people in my life. My 'future family' were nice to spend time with, but this...these were the people I knew.
Two days later:
"You know, you never did tell us what happened to you," MJ spoke as she sipped her cup of coffee.
She, Liz and I all sat in my favorite coffee shop. School had just closed for christmas and we had a lot to catch up on.
Since that day things have been...different. It took a few days for me to get back into the flow of things. People to meet and all that. The Avengers were worried, but they were just glad I'm okay, especially Tony, kept rubbing the fact that he was right.
Reed on the other hand was still racked with guilt. I felt bad for the guy, but he deserves it, I made sure to tell him never to do something that reckless again and he agreed. Thank God.
People actually had a theory that the 'real' Spider-man was dead and the guy who stopped the Sinister Six was actually Captain America in disguise. The 'proof' for this was the prices of Iron Man's suits.
Needless to say that theory always cracked me up.
"There isn't really much to say MJ," I told her sipping my own coffee, "I was transported into another world where I was much older, around 50 I think, and I had to survive there for three months. I got help from the Fantastic Five, who are pretty dope by the way, and a magician."
Liz snorted, "magic, right."
I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. I extended a finger and slowly a small red line came out, grabbing her cup and pulling it out of her reach. MJ and Liz's eyes widened comically.
