So,... they dusted away?

Peter walks beside Scott in silence. His mind keeps going over Mj's words. He feels uneasy but he ha learned to trust Mj's intuition. After all she did figure out that he was Spider-man. He decided to be cautious in what he tells Scott. 

Soon enough they arrived outside Peter's apartment and Peter hesitated then nervously unlocked his door. He gave Scott a quick tour of the apartment, quickly going into each room ahead of Scott to make sure either any Spider-man stuff or anything else embarrassing to either him or his aunt was hidden away. 

They make their way back to the living room. Scott sits on the couch and Peter sits across from him. Scott clears his throat awkwardly. "So, this is your place?" 

Peter nods. "We'll have to figure out somewhere for you to sleep, so my Aunt May doesn't see you. I have an air mattress we can blow up for you later. She won't be back until later. She works a lot." Peter twists his hands nervously. 

"We only have two bedrooms so you're gonna have to stay in my room. I have an internship tomorrow after school, so maybe you could hang out with Mj and Ned. Well, for now wanna tell me about what happened right before you portaled here? Anything significant that can give us clues? Also the place you came from, what was it called?"

"I live in Beacon Hills, California. Lydia, Stiles, and I were gathered at Stiles' house, he likes making these big map type of things, where he writes and tapes and takes string and connects everything together on this huge clear board he has. I think he mentioned once it was a magnetic glass dry wipe white board. (I literally searched it up lol ;)) "

"What were you guys working on?"

Scott sighs and runs his hands through his hair. "We were working on the latest murder case. It's a strange one, we're confused and running out of time."

"Well, maybe I can help?"

Scott looks at Peter in surprise. "Thanks. Well it's really odd. The bodies show up in random places, though mostly in the woods and on the outskirts of town. They look like their sleeping, their bodies are eerily preserved." He pauses, thinking.

Peter nods at him to encourage him to keep going. 

"But something strange started happening. Randomly, and we tracked the time between them, but one by one, and it was always just one of them, would start to disintegrate. It was weird, like they just... dusted away."

Peter shivers. He doesn't know why, but the thought of being dusted gives him some sort of deja vu. He shakes his head to get rid of it. 

"It was especially stange too, because whenever we found a new body, the old one would turn to dust. Their body would literally just fall apart. Into ashes. Like from a fire. The police and doctors have no idea what to do, and it's getting worse. And it sometimes..... switches species. The other day we found a dog like that and the human body we'd found two days earlier dusted. Then just today we found a new body." He seemed lost in thought.

Peter's mind meanwhile was in overdrive. The gears were turning in his head and he was desperately trying to find a pattern, some sort of sense he could make form from this, in order to help Scott. 

Finally he looked up. "You have supernatural creatures as you call them right?" At Scott's nod he continues. "Could this be some sort of.... poison a creature is giving off, or some sort of bite? What are vampires like in your world?"

Scott snorts. "We don't have vampires." 

Peter just narrows his eyes at him. "So you find it funny I ask if vampires exist while you, a werewolf I'd like to point out, are sitting right across from me in an entirely different dimension or universe than the one you live in?"

Scott has no answer. 

Peter just smirks. Then laughs, and after a second of hesitation, Scott joins him. 

When they can finally breathe again, Peter says, "I'm going to go order some pizza. Any allergies and or preferences?" They decided to order hawaiian for Peter, and cheese for Scott.

After the pizza arrives they sit down at the kitchen table and after a few minutes, Peter says, "So you guys were just, there in your room, then sucked into a portal the next?"

Scott nods, "Basically. Except our portals I guess divided or something along the way, cause when I was out of the portal I was here, and they weren't."

Peter nods, thinking. "Then how do you know they're here? Not in some other world or universe?"

Scott grins, "Because while you were ordering the pizza, I looked at the news. And I found them." 

Peter grins. "Well that was easy, next we'll just have to focus on getting you home with the resources to take down your newest villain. Let's go get your friends right now, we'll find room fo-"

Scott cuts him off. "Just look." And with that he clicks the TV on. 

Peter eyes widen as he sees the headline. 

Two mysterious teens fall out of sky. Friend or foe??? 

Peter looks to what they're saying about them when the news team flashes an article about it on the screen. And by what it says, it's obvious they're considered foes. 

These two teens fell out of the sky at around _____________ am, on _________ street. They came out of an orange hole looking thing in the sky and on the way down, witnesses say they heard high-pitched screams coming from the girl, and they say it slowed her descent. The boy just fell. The police force and S.H.I.E.L.D. arrived at the scene and the two teens were arrested for questioning and are currently being held in an unknown location known only to S.H.I.E.L.D. and its operatives. Although the teen boy was heard screaming, and I quote, "WHERE IS HE!?!? WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO HIM!!?!?!?!? HE'S RUNNING OUT OF TIME!?!?!?", while carrying a severely dented metal baseball bat.

The media has taken this to mean there is another teen lurking around the city. We at the Daily Bugle are humbly asking our citizens of NYC to look out for any strange behavior, a and to report it to the Police immediately. Meanwhile, the Avengers are also looking into the case.

The next morning they all met up before school in front of the school, and ultimately decided that their grades were all fine, so they skipped school in order to talk (read: Interrogate) Tony Stark about Scott's friends.

But Peter and Ned felt kinda nervous. About skipping school. Sure they had skipped school before, but for when major attacks were happening in the city and the people needed Spider-man. And of course Spider-man needed his Guy In The Chair. Mj just skipped school sometimes. 

Mj just told them to deal with it, and off they went to confront THE Tony Stark. 

Genius, Billionaire, Ex- Playboy, Philanthropist, and in Mj's and literally everyone else's opinion....

Peter's Irondad.
