It was really confusing for Peter

To find one of the women he loved in this world playing the role of his sister.

Peter was sitting with his hand on his head when he suddenly started scratching it vigorously. "Oh my God, no matter how hard I try to forget, it keeps popping into my mind."

"Maybe you need to go out and clear your head, Peter," Karen spoke in her automated programmed voice.

"I don't know, Karen, but even going out to hang around, I don't think it will be enough to make me forget that," Peter replied, sighing.

"The decision is yours, dear," was Karen's only response.

As Peter continued to daydream about the confusing things he was experiencing now, his expression darkened slightly.

"Karen, in your opinion, how did this happen? I don't think it's natural, definitely not. From what I gathered from Cassandra, this reality isn't supposed to have any characters similar to mine."

"I've done all possible calculations thanks to the information you uploaded years ago and what Cassandra added about this world and yours. And with 90% certainty, I have the answer."

"From those readings, it seems the main reason is you, Peter. You are the center of the web. In other words, you are the web itself. Every world is connected to you; every key character tied to the web is therefore tied to you."

"When you first entered this reality, many forces in this universe were unlinked, opposing, and fighting each other. In short, they were completely disorganized."

"But thanks to your entry into this world, those forces found you as the point that would resolve their conflict. They joined the Web of Life and Destiny."

"This universe and the others were restructured to ensure your integration into this reality and make you a part of it."

"The reason some characters you interacted with in your original reality appear here is because you are connected to these people, whether positively or negatively. The web builds everything associated with you."

Peter remained silent, listening to Karen's explanation without interruption until she finished.

"So, in short, anyone I'm connected to, whether positively or negatively, might have a version created by the web in this reality?"

"Exactly."

Peter sighed, feeling a headache as he recalled all the people who were once close to him at some point in his life.

The worst part was his enemies from his personal rogues' gallery, being among his most dangerous foes. "Hell, even Venom might be in this reality now."

"Karen, tell me, is there any information about any of my old reality's enemies?"

"One moment, dear..."

"There are about five individuals identified as versions of people from your old reality, and these are just the ones registered in the global recognition system so far."

Peter's eyes widened. "Five people at least. That doesn't sound so bad. Karen, who are they?"

Peter placed his hands under his chin and looked at the screen in front of him. The screen shifted to display a profile of someone. "Ken Maroney."

Peter looked at the image showing his old reality counterpart in shock and whispered under his breath, "Ken."

Karen began to speak, "Ken Maroney, age 34, married, and a member of the Rapid Response Unit working in the Florida sector."
