The air in the Danger Room shimmered as Silvanna raised her hands, veins of crimson light threading between her fingers. The energy twisted, folded, and then split reality wide open.
"This portal… it isn't perfect," Silvanna warned, her voice strained. "But it's our only chance. I'm not just here for Aurora—I'm also searching for someone else. Spider-Man. From my world. He disappeared after the Black Serpents' war. I think he was pulled into another reality."
Aurora and Miles exchanged a quick glance.
Miles smirked nervously. "So, uh… multiverse road trip?"
Aurora's lips twitched despite her nerves. "Guess so."
Without hesitation, Silvanna stepped through the portal. Aurora followed, Miles leaping in right after her.

On the Other Side
The world they landed in was… familiar yet different. Skyscrapers towered above them, but the skyline wasn't quite like New York they knew. There was a strange, almost cinematic sharpness to everything—the colors richer, the air heavier with history.
Aurora blinked. "Where… are we?"
Miles squinted, then his eyes widened as he caught sight of a massive Stark Tower, its letters gleaming in the sunlight. Not destroyed, not abandoned.
"Oh no way… No. Freaking. Way." Miles' voice cracked. "That's the MCU, isn't it? Like… THE Avengers MCU."
As if summoned by the word, a sonic boom ripped across the sky. The trio looked up just in time to see a red-and-gold streak arcing overhead—Iron Man, flying.
Aurora gasped softly. "Tony Stark…"
Silvanna froze, her chest tightening. Her Tony was gone—lost in her world after the war. But here he was, alive, brilliant, untouchable. She clenched her fists to steady herself. This wasn't her Tony.
The three didn't have long to process. A shadow darted across the rooftops nearby—swift, agile, and web-slinging.
"Spider-Man," Aurora whispered.
But as the figure landed in front of them, pulling off his mask, they realized this wasn't Miles' friend… or Silvanna's missing ally.
It was Tom Holland's Peter Parker, confusion etched across his young face.
"…who the hell are you guys?" he asked, defensive but wary.
Miles' jaw dropped. "Oh man. We are so deep in the multiverse now."
