Tom's Peter POV
I woke up to a commotion in the Sanctum. I got up and sensed that my spider powers had already done their magic and I felt a lot better. I checked beside me and Andrew was still asleep. I walked outside to the main room, to see Dr. Strange pacing the room, Tobey sitting with his hands on his head, Ned and MJU standing together in one corner. There was someone else, a blonde girl about my age, wearing a white Spiderman suit?! Well if it wasn't strange enough already.
"Who is she?" I asked, breaking the silence.
The girl looked up to me and smiled, "Hey! Peter, I suppose? I am Gwen. Gwen Stacy."
"Um, Hey Gwen!" I say with a look of confusion.
"She is from another Universe Peter. In her Earth, Peter Parker does not get bitten by the spider, she does." Dt. Strange interrupted.
"Yeah, that's kind of it." Gwen replied, "Also Strange explained everything that is going on here. Although it is a little hard to believe, I think I can cope up."
"Hey, where is Andrew?" Tobey chimed in getting up.
"Right here!" Andrew replied coming in from the infirmary.
He started towards us but stopped dead in his tracks.
"Gwe—Gwen?" he asked
"Hey, Peter! Or should I say Andrew?" she said with a smile.
"It's impossible. You died! I-I saw you die." He said, struggling not to cry.
"She is not your Gwen Andrew." Dr. Strange said softly, "She is from another universe. You can say she is a Variant of your Gwen but it's not her."
"Yes I understand," Andrew replied but kept looking at her.
Dr. Strange cleared his throat. "We do have many other pressing concerns," he said.
"Yes I know," Andrew replied and lowered his gaze.
All that time MJ and Ned and were standing in the corner, but now MJ spoke up "Peter, there is a new problem."
"What?" I ask.
"Norman Osborn has put up a bounty on your head. The FBI is looking for you. You cannot be seen in public without endangering yourself."
"Well, that does not matter. I have to fight. This mess began for me. And I am going to be the one who ends it." I say with as much force as possible. MJ does not say anything else. "So what's going on?"
Tobey tells us everything that happened in the fightback in Canada. I sit and listen while he talks about the fight and the portals, and how the Prison box was stolen.
"Now that they have the Prison, as well as a Sorcerer on their side, the villains we caught are going to be let out. We have to get the Prison back. "
"But how?" I ask
"We first I think we need another ally," Andrew says.
"Yes but who?"
"I think I have the perfect candidate," Ned says nervously.
"Ok then tell us, Ned," Tobey says.
Ned goes out to the next room and brings us a copy of a newspaper from Hell's Kitchen. He keeps it on the table, the front page staring at us. It read:
"The Devil of Hell's Kitchen is back in action!"
