The multiverse would never stop being surprising for its explorers, but believing that people of the most diverse realities came when they needed help was even more impressing. The fact of Nemesis coming back in the universe where this story happens was for sure a great misfortune for those living on it, however, truth is that she wouldn't stop after destroying the evil and the balance just of that reality, her influence would take her to all the others and none of them would be safe. That's why the other heroes came when they were surprisingly called by two men oriented by Lin Stark.

Looking outside the headquarters, it was possible to see a real army of different versions of the avengers and of the so-called mutants. Each one of them was there for just one reason: accept Original's challenge, giving everything they had to take from her the possession of the infinity stones. However, at the moment they were recognizing each other, after all it was hard to deal with different "Spidermen", Hulks, Iron Men and other alternative heroes. Loki's words meant that the monster awaiting them desired entertainment and fun before the final blow, that's why they risked believing they had enough time to organize themselves before someone made the first step towards the battle.

The responsible for receiving each one of those coming to help was Steve, who wrote down their names and talents, independently whether they were known or not. The title of Captain America wasn't exclusive of his world, most part of the heroes knew his name, even coming from totally different realities and for them, his story was a significant inspiration trusting.

- I'm Peter Parker and, well... they are too. – The spider man who they were already used to said, referring to other two who looked like Andrew Garfield and Tobey Maguire.

- Excepting us both, we are not Peter Parker, where I come from, they call me Miles Morales. – He smiled for the others with the same powers as his. – She is Gwen Stacy. It's not the first time we get involved with the multiverse. – They both shared a complicit smile.

The spider man who looked like Andrew Garfield looked to the Spider Woman with a not-that-much hidden melancholy and she, somehow, could understand what he was feeling. For Gwen, her failure was to fail protecting her best friend and it was weird to be surrounded by people like him, on the other hand, that Peter could never forget his failure in saving the love of his life, a woman like her. Wounds like this will always be reopened in such moments.

The older Peter didn't seem much comfortable with the people around him, although he was there as an Earth protector, he felt much displaced, his life had caved in a long time ago and he wasn't pleased anymore to wear the arachnid mask. He wasn't young anymore, the magic of life he had had run out a long time ago and his choices costed him everything he was capable of loving one day, he just kept fighting and fighting, winning, losing and standing up even not seeing any purpose to stand on his feet. He couldn't understand the determination from the guy Miles looking at him, he wasn't used to people looking at him as if they wanted to save him.

The strange being who reminded a ninja spider man was sit on the chair in front of Steve for almost ten minutes, just facing him as if he was shocked. Rogers couldn't tell if he was in the middle of some kind of crisis, if he cried or if he had just died.

- I made this moment up for years and when I finally meet you, you're old. C'mon, cap! With this face of "I need a cookie, sweaters and cute cats taking care of me", you make me feel like a pervert! – It was funny how the eyes of that mutant, even under the mask, could transmit his feelings.

- I'm sorry for that, I guess... - The retired avenger frowned, he didn't know exactly what to think.

- No offence, but could you sign my ass? I need something to prove to the world I met Captain America. By the way, I'm Wade Wilson. – He started to look for something inside his suit, until he finally found a pen and got closer, smiling in expectation.
