(Y/N): AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!

  All of a sudden (Y/N) finally hits the ground and he screams in frustration after learning firsthand what Loki had to go through.

(Y/N): VERY FUNNY UATU! *Gasps for air.* I HAVE BEEN FALLING, FOR 30 MINUTES!

(Y/N) pushes himself up off of the ground and finally takes a moment to take in his surroundings. He finds himself in some back alley with a small bridge between two buildings.

(Y/N): Huh, it doesn't look that different from my world's alleys.

*CLICK*

(Y/N) sighs to himself as he hears the sound of a gun being cocked behind him. He has an irritated look on his face as he slowly lifts his arms above his head and turns around.

(Y/N): Oh, give me a fuckin break.

???: Not a chance. Keep turning around slowly punk and get against the wall.

(Y/N) turns around slowly with hands still up slightly above his head to see the guy with the gun and multiple other thugs behind him.

(Y/N): Does it seriously take this many criminals to rob a teenager?

Lead Mugger: SHUT UP AND GET UP AGAINST THE DAMN WALL!

(Y/N): Sorry fellas, I don't swing that way.

  The lead mugger then smacks (Y/N) with the butt of his gun and (Y/N) doesn't even flinch suspiring the muggers and secretly (Y/N), but he kept a straight face as he made another joke aimed towards them. This prompts a blue see-through pop-up screen that only (Y/N) can see, but before (Y/N) can process this, however, he listens as the mugger was freaking out (Y/N) seemed unfazed.

Lead Mugger: THE HELL?!

(Y/N): Was that supposed to hurt? What kind of weak-armed moron are you? You can't even rob a teenager without bodyguards huh? What too many beatdowns from a hero to rob solo?

Lead Mugger: You're dead.

(Y/N): Yeah, I already know that, how else did you think I got here?

  Thinking that (Y/N) was still screwing with him the guy had enough and began to point the gun directly at (Y/N)'s head. Except, as soon as he began to pull the trigger the gun was suddenly webbed and pulled into the air. The thugs and (Y/N) all turned their heads in the direction of where it came from to see where came from only to be surprised to see not one, but two spiders.

Lead Mugger: Aw shit! It's the Spider-Bit- Ack!

  Before he could even finish his sentence, however, he was sent flying with a hard kick to the face from Ghost-Spider as Spider-Woman lands in front of (Y/N) facing the rest of the thugs.

Spider-Woman: Does it seriously take this many criminals to rob a teenager?

(Y/N): Right? I asked them the exact same thing!

  (Y/N) then takes this time to look over his pop-up screen and it reads, "Welcome to Earth 276 (Y/N) (L/N), your Player H.U.D. has been unlocked." After he processes this information he quickly reaches out his hand to click on it and suddenly he sees what looks like a Halo sensor in the lower left corner that could showcase friendlies and enemies. It also appears that the sensor is fused with the Borderlands map mechanic as everything was blacked out until he moved around a little bit. Above his sensor mini-map were two bars. The top one showed his hunger level and the bottom showed his thirst level. In the lower right corner seemed to be (Y/N)'s health bar and it seemed to be based on the ones from Kingdom Hearts with his face being in the center of it. He notices that a slight bit of his health is missing and assumes it's from when he was hit by that gun.

  (Y/N)'s attention is then drawn back to the fight in front of him as he watches both spider-themed heroines fight to protect (Y/N). One mugger tries to swing a crowbar at (Y/N)'s face but Spider-Woman twips a web and pulls him aside to safety. Meanwhile, Ghost-Spider can be seen facing three guys all firing guns at her. Ghost-Spider webs the middle mugger's hand together before upper-cutting him and launching him in the air sending him flying past his buddies. Spider-Woman sees this and quickly webbs him to the ground before he can attack her friend again. She then double teams with Ghost-Spider and together they deck the other to muggers. This leaves three final muggers and the spider duo stares them down waiting to see who'll be dumb enough to strike first.

Random Mugger 1: Come on let's get 'em.

Big Mugger: I gonna break your spidey bones!

Random Mugger 2: Forget their bones, I'll break their spidey cakes.~

Both Spiders and (Y/N): Ew dude.

  Suddenly the muggers started charging the spider duo. They quickly responded jumping in the air, webbing two of the muggers' guns away, and proceeded to punch them right in the nose. Suddenly the big mugger was behind them and body-slammed them while their spider senses were going off. Before they could dodge the surprise attack one of the muggers stood back up now holding two handguns at their heads.

(Y/N): Crap! *Looks around* This might work!

  (Y/N) quickly grabs a trash can lid and attempts to put his new ability to the test. He sees a small cross-like targeting system appear and looks at the big guy holding the spiders down as they slowly begin lifting him off of themselves. As he looks at the big mugger, the cross-like targeting system turns red, and he throws the trash can lid like it's Captain America's shield. It doesn't do much, but's enough to daze him and surprise the other mugger with the guns. This gives the heroines enough time to get up and effectively web up the criminals together after punching them across the faces. Ghost-Spider then walks over to check on (Y/N) as Spider-Woman notifies the police.

Ghost-Spider: Thanks for the quick save there. Great toss, by the way, I'm sure Captain Carter would be proud.

(Y/N): Eh, don't sweat it. You two could handle it on your own. It's really me who should be thanking you. Don't know where I would have been without you two.

  What (Y/N) said was true and he knew it. He had only unlocked his H.U.D. after he was struck by that gun and he hasn't seemed to unlock any of the other abilities yet. He'd hate to think what might of happened if he were to die right then and there again after just being brought back to life by the Watcher of all people. As he was lost in thought, he was quickly brought right back out as he felt a hand on his shoulder to saw that it belonged Spider-Woman as she just finished talking to the police.

Spider-Woman: You there? I asked if you were alright.

(Y/N): Oh, I'm fine. Thanks for your concern. Hey before you two leave, you wouldn't happen to know where a homeless shelter or maybe an abandoned building not scheduled for demolition would be, would you?

  The question quickly caught them off guard as they looked him in the eyes. He sighed as he realized he probably should have solved this issue on his own. But in truth, he felt like he still needed help being a homeless stranger in a new world. Who better to ask for help than one of his favorite themed heroes growing up?
