As soon as they crossed the gate, they barely had time to catch their breath.
The place seemed eerily quiet, but only for a moment — then Peter's spider-sense flared up, sharp and violent, like a gunshot echoing through his skull.
Danger! Down!
His body moved on instinct before his mind even registered why, leaping high into the air and clinging to the metallic ceiling just as a surge of electric energy scorched the ground beneath his feet.
Blue sparks burst around the team — Flash, Shazam, Green Arrow, Black Canary, Hawkgirl, Batman, Wonder Woman — their bodies jolting all at once under the shock.
Clinging tightly to the ceiling, Peter exhaled slowly behind his mask, watching them as they struggled.
"Well... a warm welcome, as usual," he muttered dryly, his eyes already scanning the room for the source of the attack.
"Next time, let me go first... seems like I'm the only one who got the special invite to dodge that shock."
Lowering himself back down, Peter kept his guard up as his teammates tried to regain balance, but he quickly noticed something off — the heroes from the other dimension had vanished.
A detail clicked in his memory the moment his eyes fell on Flash, still groaning in pain. Ordinary electricity couldn't harm Flash. But Speedster lightning could.
Suddenly, a yellow blur flickered around the room, moving too fast to follow, and the next thing anyone saw was Batman — still dazed from the initial shock — being struck so hard he was thrown against a wall and knocked out cold.
The yellow blur's next target was Green Arrow, hitting him with a brutal uppercut to the chin that left him unconscious in an instant.
Then Black Canary — a ruthless kick to the stomach knocked the air out of her lungs and sent her into darkness, all in the blink of an eye.
Next was Spider-Man. Thanks to his spider-sense, Peter had managed to track the entire ambush, his perception sharpening to the limit, adapting to the danger.
The problem was, even if he could see the incoming punch — moving faster than sound — his body simply wasn't fast enough to dodge a Speedster attack.
Fortunately, Flash had recovered just as quickly, and in a split second, he tackled the other Speedster, sending him flying backward, standing between Peter and the attacker.
Peter immediately retreated toward the three unconscious heroes, his senses on high alert.
He noticed Wonder Woman regaining consciousness, and Shazam too.
Looking around, Peter finally realized where they were — a huge, steel-walled chamber.
Peter's mind raced. The heroes from the other world had vanished the moment they arrived, even though they were the ones guiding the portal.
And no matter how reinforced the room was, it wouldn't be enough to contain heavy-hitters like Wonder Woman and Shazam.
"What's going on? Where are the others?" Diana asked as she fully came to her senses, noticing the missing heroes and her unconscious friends. Her sharp gaze locked onto Peter, who was kneeling near Batman, Black Canary, and Green Arrow.
"I don't know. But one thing I'm sure of — we've just been outplayed, by our own team if you want to call it that," Peter replied with dry sarcasm.
"Really? Joking at a time like this?" Diana shot him a sharp glare.
Peter just shrugged.
Suddenly, slow clapping echoed through the room, followed by footsteps approaching, and a young but cocky voice rang out
