Saving the Multiverse | Avengers, DCEU & Arrowverse Crossover

𝐈𝐈𝐈. Chapter 60: "You're a stowaway,"

Doctor Strange regains consciousness, Surrounded by hundreds of needles.

Maw approaches him when he notices he's awake, "In all the time I've served Thanos, I have never failed him. If I were to reach our rendezvous on Titan with the Time Stone still attached to your vaguely irritating person, there would be judgment," Maw says using the needles to stab doctor strange causing him a lot of pain, "Give me... the stone."

Unaware to Maw, Iron-Man is aboard the ship and oblivious to Tony, Spider-man also stowed away upon the Q-ship. Coming up behind him, Spider-man taps Iron man's shoulder. Iron man aims his repulser at him, "Wow, you're a seriously loyal piece of outerwear, aren't you?" Iron-man says.

     "Yeah, uh, speaking of loyalty-" Spider-man trails on.

     "What the..." Tony says in confusion.

     "I know what you're gonna say," Spider-man begins.

     "You should not be here," Iron-man says sternly.

     "I was gonna go home," Spider-man explains.

     "I don't wanna hear it,"

     "But it was such a long way down and I thought about you on the way and kinda stuck to the side of the ship," Spider-man tries to clarify,

     "And now I gotta hear it." Iron-man rolls his eyes.

     "And this suit is ridiculously intuitive, by the way. So, if anything, it's kinda your fault that I'm here," Peter said, making Tony look at him furiously, "What did you just say?" Raising his eyebrows.

     "I take that back. And now, I'm here in space," Peter says.

    "Yeah, right where I didn't want you to be. This isn't Coney Island. This isn't a field trip. This is a one-way ticket. Do you hear me? Don't pretend you thought this through." 

     "No, I did think this through." Spider-man defends.

     "You could not possibly thought this through," 

     "You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood," Spider-man says, then he thought about what he said for a second, "Okay, that didn't really make sense, but you know what I'm trying to say, "Spider-man points out.

     "Come on. We got a situation," Tony says pointing down at Doctor Strange, "See him down there? He's in trouble. What's your plan? Go,"

Peter begins to think, "Umm... Okay, okay... Uh... Okay. Did you ever see this really old movie, Aliens?" Spider-man trails off.

Down below on the bridge, Ebony Maw continues to torture Doctor Strange, "Painful, aren't they? They were originally designed for microsurgery," Maw hears some commotion behind him, And any one of them...could end your friend's life in an instant," When he turns he faces Iron-man's repulsors.

     "I gotta tell you, he's not really my friend. Saving his life is more of a professional courtesy," Iron-man says,

Lifting two large metal objects, Maw says, "You saved nothing. Your powers are inconsequential compared to mine,"

     "Yeah, but the kid's seen more movies," Iron-man says firing a missile at the wall. Maw was then sucked into the vacuum of space. Doctor strange soon follows, he inadvertently gets caught in the vacuum. The cloak of levitation tries to help, but he's unsuccessful. Leaping in to save the day, Spider-man webs, Doctor Strange, before he could get too far out of the ship, "Yes! Wait. What are those?" Spider-man asks his attention turning to the Spider limps helping him stay in the ship. 

Iron-man patches the hole.

Spider-man turns to the Cloak of Levitation, "Hey, we haven't officially met," The cloak ignores him, "Cool,"

     "We gotta turn this ship around," Doctor Strange says.

     "Yeah, now he wants to run. Great plan." Tony remarks.

     "No. I want to protect the stone," Doctor Strange clarifies.

     "And I want you to thank me. Now, go ahead. I'm listening," Tony waits.

     "For what? Nearly blasting me into space?"Doctor Strange questions.

     "Who just saved your magical *ss? Me," Tony spits.

     "I seriously don't know how you fit your head into that helmet," Doctor Strange declares.

     "Admit it, you should've ducked out when I told you to. I tried to bench you. You refused," Tony says.

     "Unlike everyone else in your life, I don't work for you," Doctor Strange says.

     "And due to that fact, we're now in flying doughnut billions of miles from Earth with no backup-" Tony began.

     "I'm back up," Spider-man interjects.

     "No, you're a stowaway. The adults are talking," Iron-man turns back to Doctor Strange.

     "I'm sorry, I'm confused as to the relationship here. What is he, your ward?" Doctor Strange questions.

 Offering his hand to shake, "No. I'm Peter, by the way," Spider-man says.

    "Doctor Strange," He greets sternly.

     "Oh, you're using our made-up names. Um... I'm Spider-Man, then." Peter says.

     "This ship is self-correcting its course. Thing's on autopilot," Tony informs.

      "Can we control it? Fly us home?" Doctor Strange asks, "Stark?" trying to get his attention.

     Still thinking, "Yeah," Tony says.

     "Can you get us home?" Doctor Strange refrains his question.

     "Yeah, I heard you...I'm thinking I'm not so sure we should," Tony began.

     "Under no circumstances can we bring the Time Stone to Thanos. I don't think you quite understand what's at stake here," 

     "What? No. It's you who doesn't understand that Thanos has been inside my head for six years. Since he sent an army to New York and now he's back. And I don't know what to do. So I'm not so sure if it's a better plan to fight him on our turf or his but you saw what they did, what they can do. At least on his turf, he's not expecting it. So I say we take the fight to him, Doctor. Do you concur?" 

     "All right, Stark. We go to him. But you have to understand if it comes to saving you or the kid or the Time Stone, I will not hesitate to let either of you die. I can't because the universe depends on it, "Doctor Strange says, reminding tony of his one objective.

     "Nice. Good, moral compass. We're straight," Iron-man says and approaches Spider-man, "All right, kid. You're an Avenger now," Iron-man decares, Peter had a slight smile on his face.
