As the spiderlings searched through the wreckage of the lab, Tony handled cleanup. Spraying each of the fires with an extinguishing foam, he reflected on what his future would be. Now his resurrection was about fifty years sooner than Steve's had been, but he remembered the frustration on his teammate's face while thinking of his past in Brooklyn. And let's face it, Tony wouldn't be able to handle Pepper moving on without him. Or Morgan, who'd have to be... twenty?! The thought made him shudder in the spider as the smoke slowly cleared.
"Who's this idiot?" He turned to find yet another slender spider, this time in white, peering at him from the ceiling. Based on the voice, he assumed it was a girl around Miles' age.
"You must be Gwen." His raised eyebrow was not visible to her from the Iron Spider, but it was somehow conveyed in his tone. "My name is Tony Stark."
"Oh, you two met?" Peter and Miles walked into the room, now slightly spot covered from Tony's inferno.
"Is the spider squad a party of seven now?"
"Nah, he's with me, and he's not technically a spider."
"Well neither was the pig." Tony decided not to interpret literally, his brain was already starting to hurt.
"Gwen, you've gotta get back home. You've been here too long and you must remember" Peter gestured towards his torso, "the effects of staying too long."
She nodded. "There is something I have to tell you though."
"Shoot."
"You from 616?"
Peter nodded. This must make sense to him somehow.
"Word on the street is that your dimension is coming into trouble. I've been stopping by a few dimension similar to yours, only difference is the time, theirs being about five years in your future." She cleared her throat, "You're only a few days away from a disaster."
"Great, who is it this time?"
"The sinister six."
Gwen and Peter stared at each other for a short time, almost as if they were holding a conversation entirely with their eyes. Tony tried to decipher the meaning, but quickly gave up, glancing to Miles who shrugged, clearly just as confused as he was.
"Okay," Peter exaggerated a smile, "I'll be on the lookout for trouble. Now you two-" he gestured towards Miles and Gwen-"be good. No more unnecessary risks. Kay?"
They rolled their eyes in response.
Peter turned towards Tony, "Let's go home."
Activating a portal via Doc Ock's lab, they jumped back to dimension 616.
