Issue 93: The Amazing Web Part 7

"You majesty. It's nice to meet you face to face. My name is Peter Parker, this is my Fiancée Mary Jane Watson."

"This is my family, my daughter, Shuri. My son, T'Challa, and my wife Ramonda."

The royal family all bowed politely before Shuri couldn't hold it in anymore. She rushed over with a book and magazine in one hand and a marker in the other. One was a book on Advanced Scientific Theory and Space Age Research.

Peter smiled, "Is that my book? I thought only Avenger's had access to copies, it's not ready for public release. I'm going to have to ask around about leaks."

Shuri nodded her head, "Oh, I copied it when I visited New York. No one sold it to me."

"You mean you snuck in," Peter smirked as he signed the copy, "I'm going to enjoy nagging at Fury about security. I told him to let me make magical features, but he thought that was overkill and didn't trust that 'hoodoo' stuff. I would also appreciate if you told me how you snuck in." 

"I'll tell you some other time…And this is Spider-Woman's first issue as a Superhero model!!!"

"Big fan, I see," MJ chuckled as she signed it.

"Shuri, enough," T'Chaka called his daughter back.

"Oh, enough? Enough with that puffy attitude already, I know enough about them to confidently say that they hate this stiff atmosphere. Look, guy's still trying to hold back his laughter."

"Ha! Hahahah! Aaahh…Your daughter is a riot," Peter laughed a few more times before his body became more relaxed.

"And being nuisance right now, we have these protocols for a reason, sister," 

Shuri stuck her tongue out at her brother.

"Perhaps I should send you back to your instructor. I think she made a mistake in your lesson in manners," The Queen sighed.

"First, let's start with the proving the existence of the Multiverse. Guys, say what's up." Peter clicked his watch and pulled up his good friends from across the Multiverse.

The holographic table reappeared with the Spider-Folk all chatting to each other.

(64)Ghost-Spider: Noir, you have to stop. You're color blind. Or rather, you whole universe is.

(90214)Shady_Spider-Man: Mark my words, Ghost. I will figure out this color thing out.

(616c)Amazing_Spider-Man: Yeah, let the color-blind man dream. To be honest, watching another version of myself that can't see tell red from blue is hilarious.

(1610)Sensational_Spider-Man: Uh, guys?

(8311)The_Fantastic_Spider-Ham: Hey he could always use the Infinity Stone to Oink it into existence.

Peter looked at the shocked expressions and doubt on the Wakandian Royal Members.

"Ahem!" Peter coughed into his hand.

(1610)Specatular_Spider-Sable: Wait, other me what's an Infinity Stone?

(1610)Sensational_Spider-Man: Yo, guys!"

(881211)Supreme_Spider-Sable: I don't know either.

(881211)Spiderette: Is it like Teach's Merlin Stones?

(1610)Sensational_Spider-Man: GUYS!"

(616c)Amazing_Spider-Man: Sort of, but those gemstones the 'Strongest' has only wield a fraction of the full might of the Infinity Stones. You get those bad boys and you're basically a god above gods.

Peter sighed, "One moment."

The Space, Reality, and Mind Gemstones lit up as Peter channeled them into his magic.

Several Portals opened up to show various forms of Spider-Heroes all lounging around while speaking into their Wrist-Devices.

"Sup? Peter," Peter called out getting their attention.

"Oh…shiii…" Benji opened his mouth in surprise.

"Watch it," Adult Mary Jane Parker popped her head into the view of the portal, "Whose baby is in your arms right now?"

"Ours," Benji gave that look all guys give when they're busted.

"Whose baby do we not want cursing at the daycare or with the babysitter?"

"Ours…" Benji sighed and pointed at the portal, "But…"

"No buts. And other Peter, it's nice to finally meet you."

"Hi Mary," MJ waved her hands.

After seeing the suit on her other self, Benji's MJ gasped and said, "Holy shiii…"

"See! Not so easy, is it?" Benji jumped up as he covered her mouth, "Sooo, what'cha need, buddy?"

"I was trying to tell you guys," Richie slapped his forehead.

"What's the skinny? New villain drop? That is how you kids say it, right? I heard Miles say that." Noir tilted his head into the room.

"Holy crap! T'Challa?" Benji webbed over with Mayday in her chest harness.

"Pete! No web slinging with the baby!"

Benji wrapped his arm around T'Challa and said, "How you doing, bud?! Been a while since I've been in the castle."

"This isn't a castle," T'Challa still couldn't believe his eyes.

"Sure it isn't," Benji chuckled, "Hey Shuri! You still got that awesome lab downstairs?"

"This is the coolest thing ever," Shuri mumbled.

"Sorry about him, he's like me if I had ADD," Richie gave a courteous head nod.

"Oh, so we're finally visiting, huh?" Porky walked over and held out his hand, "I'm Peter Porker! Nice to meet ya. You know, you're a real panther in my world."

"Is that a talking cartoon pig?" The Queen asked.

"Oh, this just keeps getting better," Shuri said while smiling ear to ear.

"This a dandy place you have here," Noir looked around, "Never met royalty before."

"Peter, Peter, Peter, Porky, this is the Wakanda of my Universe. I'd love to keep you around, but I'm just trying to prove what I am about to show them isn't fake."

"So, you're using us? That's messed up man," Ghost-Gwen joked.

"And here I thought he cared," Benji joined in.

"Is that all we are to you?" Richie added while fake crying.

"I thought we had something special," Porky pulled out a handkerchief and blew into it. 

"Guys, give the kid a break," Noir pinched the bridge of his nose.

Several of the MJs looked at each other from the Portal and sighed. 

"My apologies for our…husbands," Richie's wife shook her head while holding her Annie.

"Just so you know, MJ and I an't married in my universe," Noir spoke up.

"But we are dating…You could put a ring on me if you're brave enough, tiger." Black and White MJ announced as she stepped through the portal.

"This dame is going to be the death of me," Noir pulled his collar with a nervous look on his face.

"Noir me's pretty hot," Benji's wife said as she joined the room, "What'd you do for a living."

"I'm a singer at a popular club, darling. What about you?"

"Actress, and a part time super-hero now," Richie's wife smiled.

"Model. Pete gave me his power set for protection, but I think I'll leave the crime fighting to him," Benji's MJ added.

"It's actually pretty fun. You should give a try," Richie's wife replied.

"My MJ's a clothing designer, and a water buffalo, a beautiful and kind water buffalo," Porky smiled softly.

"I'm all of those things rolled into one, and I'm a well-known scientific engineer," Peter's MJ bragged, "Except for the water buffalo thing, and I haven't sung since my Jr. Highschool's play."

"This has to be some kind of trick, right?" Ramonda muttered.

Shuri pulled out a gizmo and scanned the visitors, "Naw, they're all real. Genetic sequence included. Except for this one, he has pig DNA."

"Well, I not just a pig," Porker nodded his head. 

"Neat gizmo. It can scan the genetic structures with just light alone? Looks like you got some competition MJ," Peter chuckled. 

"I call em Goobers," Benji shrugged his shoulders.

"Gadgets," Richie admitted.

"Doodads," Noir nodded his head.

"Wow, the nickname gets one generation older every time," Shuri snorted.

"Oh, yeah? What do you call em?" Benji looked over.

"Tech," Shuri said with an expression as if that were the most obvious thing in the world.

"Damn, that is good," The other Spiders said at the same time.

Richie's MJ started laughing. It was so infectious that it spread to the others in the room.

"Wow, this has to be the third strangest thing that has ever happened to me," Benji's MJ wiped away a tear.

"Third? Darling what is wrong with your world," Noir MJ asked.

"A lot," Ghost Gwen sighed.

"Well, meeting other people from different universes has happened a few times in our timeline," Richie's MJ said as she shook her head, "So it's not too surprising now."

"Why do you think I said 3rd," Benji's MJ smirked.

"So, teach, where are you? I know Wakanda, but…this don't look like it," Morales said as he looked out the window.

"Oh, don't tell anybody about this place. Uh, think of it like an early Avengers secret."

"Wait, he gets to be an Avenger already?" Davis pointed at his other self.

"You get there someday, Kid," Richie patted his shoulder.

"You know, my version of Tony dropped by and sent me an invite recently," Ghost Gwen bragged before giving Shuri a hug, "It's good to see you again, Panther Jr."

"Aw come on!" Davis slapped his forehead.

"No waay, you know me in your universe?"

"Yeah, you're the new Black Panther in my universe," Ghost-Gwen replied.

T'Challa gave a surprised expression. He never imagined his sister would take the mantle someday, especially when she's always saying that this work was for jocks.

Spiderette walked over and told Davis, "We're still in class, but we'll get our heroes license in a year and our Miles here will get it in two. So, we get to choose whether to join Shield, Sword, or the Avengers."

"Actually, it's the other way around," Peter said, "They put in the recommendations based off your results. It's so you go to a suitable faction."

"But we are going to the Avengers, right?" Morales looked worried. He had his sights set on joining the Avengers.

"I already put in the recommendation. Just have to wait until you graduate."

"Sweet," Morales nodded his head.

"Wait, what's Sword?" Davis asked.

"Oh, that's our space defense division. They're supposed to act like diplomats and strike force for any alien issues," Morales explained.

"More of the vicious attack group in my world, and not very legal," Benji commented.

"Same," Richie sighed.

"You guys made it to space?" Noir looked completely surprised.

"Ahem. I'm sorry, but can you hurry this along. I am a King and have duties to attend to,"

"Alright, I'll get straight to the point. I want you to take over South Africa."

The room became rather tense rather quickly.

"Whoa, dude. Did you become a villain in the last few minutes?" Benji looked shocked to the core.

"Yeah, are we going to have a stand-off here?" Porky lifted a brow.

"You know that's a big move, kid," Noir crossed his arms, "You need to explain."

"Now, here me out. Africa needs a good leader, and T'Chaka fits that bill,"

"That's hubris speaking. My father once thought of doing the same, but I thought it was more important to focus on ourselves. Because of that decision we have flour…"

"Let me stop you right there," Peter held his hand up and snapped his finger. Various screens floated in front of everyone. There Slaves being abused, Warlords attacking villages and charity organizations, children being sold, villagers dying from starvation, entire tribes being raided and sold on the black market, and so much pain coming from the citizens of this massive continent. 

"I will give up much for such a power source, but I will not give up our slaves," The image was a video recording of the current King's discussion over the Arc King Reactor.

"The leader of the country is scum. There are thousands of innocent people dying on your doorstep, and I can't do anything without risking another world war. King, Queen, the current state of this world is like a powder keg standing next to a match. Meta-Humans with amazing powers are popping up every day, technology is rapidly improving at a level due to the alien invasion, and every threat Earth will face in the future are beings that are far more advanced than you understand. How long before this environment breeds the next super villain that wants to destroy the planet, how long do they have to suffer because of your seclusion?"

Spider-Man sighed as he saw the looks of shame on their face, "I'm not here to admonish you. I want to give you everything you need to take over South Africa on your terms. Put an end to this madness once and for all. I'm begging you, not for me, but for those innocents that could live better lives."

"You're asking us to go to war," The King spoke.

"I'll ensure that no one else in the world interferes."

"Many people will die." The Queen added.

"That tends to happen in war. But with our tech, advantages, and knowledge, it doesn't have to be that way. I'm willing to give you mine and the full support of the Avengers during this operation. We'll keep those so-called government officials and warmongers from ever opening their mouths."

"But you won't fight in the war yourself."

"I can't. If I get involved…publicly, then other, nations that are profiting from that very same evil will use that to kick off another world war. However, this is your land, your home. If what you're doing is an inherently good thing, then it's the Avengers job to protect such a movement from harm. If someone says let's go defend the slave loving King of another country, no one's get on board with that idea, and if they do, we'll be there to stop them."

"Wow, babe, you really thought this out. Was this always your plan when you joined the Avengers?" MJ showed a shocked expression.

"I need competent people in charge, people that can handle the responsibility of this crazy planet we live on. If it stops villains from being born, then I'll do everything in my power to make it happen. I can't tell how many worlds have spawned the worst villains due to a poor social environment. World enders, galaxy eaters, monsters that can kill entire universes, all born due to mishap and mistreatment. If this war can save millions of live, no even if could only save one, then isn't it worth it?"

The images on the floating screen changed, showing some of the worst and most pitiful villains born throughout the Marvel-verse.

An image showed the 616c-Universe of events. It started with the death of T'Chaka at the hands of the villain Klaw. While the adoptive son of the royal family, the White Wolf witnessed it happen firsthand.

The Queen was particularly heartbroken over this. Hunter was her child in this life and in the one she was viewing. It didn't matter if he wasn't their blood. To see her own husband die and her son witness the murder, it was enough to bring any mother to tears.

Even after the death of his adoptive father, T'Challa refused to do something about the crime infested streets of South Africa. So, thinking that T'Challa was too weak to lead, he challenged him to a fight for the throne and lost. However, the pain didn't vanish, he went out looking for the man that killed his father.

"It doesn't just hurt the innocents but your family too," Peter sped this image up a bit.

"Damn, that was a dark day. He pulled through though and they settled their differences," Benji commented.

The image now showed Hunter and T'Chala meeting later and discussing that he'd like to see South Africa become as advanced as Wakanda someday mere weeks before he was captured and enslaved by the very man that killed his father.

"Yet your sit and wait style led to this exact event."

T'Chala was heartbroken to learn his brother thought he was a weakling, shocked that he lost his father due to their secluded nature, and devastated to learn he could have done something about it.

The rest of the family wasn't faring too well either. Dozens of images from various multiverses showed them how much pain was caused due to their inaction. 

"These are all real universes where events may slightly be different or exactly the same. But it doesn't have to be our future."

"I suppose you have seen as such," T'Chaka lifted a brow.

"Yeah, this world is relatively close to ours, where only a single difference was made a long time ago."

Peter pulled the image to another universe where T'Chaka had heeded his father's advice. In one fell swoop, they managed to set on their conquest of taking over all of South Africa. 

After T'Chaka became King of Wakanda he started the war by freeing slaves, protecting villages by imparting his wisdom and teaching across the land, and eventually caught the South African's king ire. The people started to call him the true king of Africa.

And so, Africa was embroiled an intense power struggle. 

Since he was around 40 in 1966, he lived through WW2 and the tension he put on the South African King made him join the war as a Nazi Ally.

In exchange for helping them with South Africa's conquest by ridding the slave trade and aid with hunting down warlords, around the time of Captain America's birth, T'Chaka joined the war as American Allies alongside, Brittan, Russia, Canada, and France, 

His actions resulted in him saving millions and ending the war before the completion of the atom bomb. The earth never became polluted due them sharing just knowledge of their technological advances alone. There were a few hiccups, theft and assassination attempts, but they prevailed time and time again, leading the future to a brighter life.

"I liked this world, a lot of death was avoided. That Earth was even able to fend off the first alien invasion better than we did. By the way, you look good for a dude pushing eighty," Peter looked at the King.

"The serum our family takes provides certain benefits," T'Chaka almost sounded a little choked up.

"It's not too late. In fact, I think we can win this war without shedding a single drop of blood. Well, other than the corrupt royal family. The people are gonna want his head, especially the roughly 500,000 of those currently enslaved. Though, keep in mind, that about the lowest estimation that's been reported. By my estimations it's actually about 2.3 times higher."

"And what's in for you?" The queen asked, still very upset about the future in store for their adoptive son.

"This little blue ball I call home gets a little bit brighter," Peter smiled.

"If only things were so simple. Perhaps we should discuss this in another location."

"Man, this is heavy," Richie shook his head.

"I don't it's the right move to make, though," Benji added.

Peter sighed, "You think I haven't already tried diplomacy, this won't end until someone does something about it, and if it has to be me that pushes things forward, then so be it."

"Africa…is a big place. You need some pretty advanced tech and lots of people to actually do what you're planning," Noir spoke up.

"You forget, friend, I can get the locations of every dirty villainous scum out here, their weapons, their armies, and even what the color of their underwear is."

"That does sound useful. The other stuff, not the underwear..." Richie added.

"Please, Spider…people, follow me to the conference room," T'Chaka held his hand out to direct them.

"You got snacks in this place, we were supposed to go out for dinner tonight," Benji spoke up.

"Food sounds great! Who wants hotdogs?!" Porky called out.

"I hope you don't mind our wives and kids coming along," Richie rubbed the back of his head nervously.

"Your wives and children are not a problem," T'Chaka sighed.

"I'll feed them," Peter chuckled as he saw the look of frustration on the King's face.
