3rd POV

Y/N: "Ruby?"

She stares in shock as Yang goes to her and whispers to her.

Yang: "He wandered back here. He says he's afraid of Goblin taking back control and he wanted to get your help."

She says nothing and slowly walks to Y/N who takes a bite on a bagel.

Ruby: "Y/N?"

Y/N: "Ruby? W-why am I still here? I-I should be dead..."

She stays silent. Processing what she is sees before her eyes.

Ruby: "Is he out too?"
She asks in a low voice

Y/N: "He? Oh! No, I haven't heard his voice at all. It's quiet, for once..."

Ruby: "Just hold on a second ok? I need to talk to Yang about something."

He nods and takes a bite out of the roll Yang gave him. Ruby drags Yang out of the room.

Ruby: "Great, this is just what I need. First some random guy starts attacking me, looking for someone named Peter, and my friend/crush is back from the dead!"

Yang: "This seems to be alot for today isn't it?"

Ruby: "Ugh...But maybe I can help him get his life back together."

Yang: "How exactly?"

Ruby: "Here's what we will do..."

In another part of Remnant, a hooded Figure appears from the shadows of a cave. He pulls out an device that starts beeping rapidly. On the screen it shows "Danger Imminent!"

Hooded Figure: "This is worse than I thought."

He slowly rose from the ground and went back over his notes.

Hooded Figure: "Universe-797. Remnant-797. Ruby Rose..Spider-Girl..."
He speaks in a low tone.

Hooded Figure: "I need to get to her now."

He teleports away, leaving a unfamiliar mark on the ground.

The man with the mechanical arms slowly wakes up as he sees that he is webbed up. His arms break him out, he looks around at the place he was in.

???: "This is definitely not New York."

???: "Nope, but it's better!"

He hears a voice that he recognizes instantly, he turns as a bolt of yellow lightning shoots down.

???: "Sup Doc?"

Max: "The one and only..."

Doc: "How did you-"

???: "Help from an unknown friend..."

They both hear a dark and sinister voice.

???: "Greetings gentlemen, it's nice to meet you, well, not physically yet."

Doc: "Who the-"

???: "Relax Otto...I am a ally. Here to make a deal you won't refuse."

Max: "Oh yeah? Then what is it?"

???: "There are 2 more people in this new world, they will help with you destroy the spider....."

Otto: "Spider...."

???: "And after we handle the pest problem here, we'll focus on the others...."

Max: "And what about you huh? I don't think I'm OK with some spooky ass voice talking like he owns me in my head."

???: "In time Max....we will meet. But for now, regroup, and meet when you see the light...."

It goes silent.

Otto: "Light, some kind of signal?"

Max: "Why we even listening to this guy huh? Can we even trust him?"

Otto: "He knows our names and know about our hatred for Spider-Man. Let's see where this guy takes us."

Otto and Max leave to different locations to hide.

Ruby rests on the top of Beacon's tower. She watches as multiple birds go by in the sky, she was able to keep herself calm and collect her thoughts.

She sighs as she pulls her scroll out to text Yang.

Ruby: *text* Almost done, tell Weiss and Blake I'll be there shortly."

She presses send and sighs...

???: "Ruby Rose."

Her eyes widen and jumps back immediately. She spots a masked figure. His bright red eyes shined from his mask which gave her chills.

???: "I need your help."

Ruby: "Who the hell are you?"

Scorn: "Scorn, and we have lots to discuss..."

We see a Hooded Figure watches as a Girl with light, mint-green hair slowly enters a dark cave.

He descends from the sky and lands directly in front of her.

???: "Hello Emerald..."

She jumps and immediately pulls her weapons out and aim it at the figure in front of her.

He chuckles and waves his hand to calm her down.

???: "Now, now, theres no need for you to get all riled up. Considering some stranger just appeared in front of you, knowing your name. I want to help you.."

Emerald: "And why should I trust you?"
She holds her aim at the figure, he snaps his fingers, revealing a familar woman in a pod, which makes her gasps.

Emerald: "CINDER?!"

???: "It's a shame that Salem nearly killed Cinder that day...don't you wanna live a happy life?"

She doesn't say anything, her hand slowly trembles.

???: "I'll give you more power than you can ever imagine, and all your troubles will go away... Cinder will be safe, and you will never go poor and hungry again.."

She slowly lowers her weapon. Thinking about his deal.

???: "The ability to cause mental illusions, it's fascinating, but what if we....upgraded it even more.

He opens his hands and a spew of green gas flew into her direction.

He grins as it completely engulfs the area.

???: "Now, let the mind games truly commence...."
