MULTIVERSE// A Supernatural / MCU crossover adventure

Far from home

Its been a solid 30 minutes.
Me and MJ have been swinging from tree to tree, each and every direction; with no sign of anything.
This is one big forest.

It's starting to get quite dark now, which officially cancels out swinging. The last time I swung at night, I basically had to peel myself off of a tree. We start walking carefully through the trees, trying not to knock ourself out on a branch.

"Does any of this look familiar to you?" I say.

"Well, that tree with the broken branch looks familiar. I think we're just going in circles." MJ replies.

"May is really going to worry if I'm not back soon. She doesn't like this whole 'spider' thing. Does you family know?" I ask wearingly.

"Nah." She smiles; in a way that says 'yeah it's not ideal but don't pity me.' "I don't really want to put that burden on them, not at least now. They kinda worry too much about me, you know?"

I scoff. All May does is worry about me. Before I started testosterone, she hated me going out alone. She insisted she go with me everyone. Which in retrospect I appreciate, but at the time I was so embarrassed. "Yeah... I know exactly what you mean."

We continue walking, but in silence. Unlike usual, the lack of conversation feels... awkward. Hearing her talk about her family reminded me of how much I don't know about her, and how much she doesn't know about me. It's starting too feel more and more that we are strangers.

Our silence is soon interrupted by two loud gunshots somewhere in the distance. I panic and grab MJ by the arm. I can't tell if it was me trying to protect her, or me wanting her to protect me.

"What the hell was that?" MJ whispers.

"Perhaps..." I panic and try to think of something to calm us both down. "It was the wind?" Ok I regret saying that instantly.

"Yeah right. Cmon let's try and see." MJ leaps her self upward by shooting a web at the tree next to us. She climbs her way up to the top branches. "Peter!" She whisper/shouts.

I do as she did and as careful as possible make myself up to the branch she had perched on.
The view is quite remarkable from here (although I would probably appreciate it more if I wasn't completely terrified).

"Look over there." MJ points. "I can see one-no two- I see two guys there and I can also see-" she cuts herself off.

"See what MJ?"

"I... nothing don't worry. Just thought I saw something ."

I look down at the direction of the two people. They're holding two massive shotguns on their shoulders. It's hard to tell from up here, but I believe they're men.
It looks as if they're ready to call it a night and head out, packing up their equipment. We both keep an eye on them, as the slowly start heading towards the bottom of the tree we're on.

"MJ, we should follow where they're headed, or even ask for directions?" I whispered.

MJ looked at me as if I had said the dumbest thing any person could ever say. "Peter they are obviously serial killers. We are not going anywhere near-"

I hear a loud crack. In hindsight, I wish we had chosen a stronger tree. The branch we're sat at gives way too suddenly for either of us to think of a game plan. We both start plummeting downwards, until I feel the very hard and unwelcoming hug from the ground.
Fuck that hurt.

I look to see if MJ's ok. She seems physically fine, probably feeling more annoyance than pain right now.

"You kids alright?" A strange mans voice appears from above.

The two guys had stumbled upon us, and are now standing over us.

"Yep yep totally fine" MJ stands up, holding her back for support. "We are totally fine."

The first man speaks "You guys took a pretty narly fall from a height like that. You're definitely not ok."

"Yeah" the much taller guy decides to join in. "You guys should go to the hospital. Our cars around here somewhere."

"Oh no no that's ok, we should be off anyway." MJ stands to walk away, but doesn't get very far as she limbs.

"MJ," I lower my voice "I think we should trust them. This is probably our only option."

She sighs. "Well, it's you're funeral. How far away is the hospital from here?"

The shorter guy replied "about 30 mins. It's no problem. Also what's up with the Halloween costumes? It's June?"

Me and MJ stare at each other for a while before I make the executive decision to answer. "We are actually actors." MJ glares at me. "We we're doing a show and uh. Guess we went for a little too long of a walk aha."

"Well, I guess it's best we get you kids out of here. My name's Sam by the way. And this is my brother Dean."
