Emma’s POV

“Can't believe that Albion is this powerful?” Aunt May said as she looked at my Peter slicing through the Rhino shaped giant machine with a red lightning blade like it was butter on the television.

“You better not underestimate Albion! After all, he has fought toe to toe with Thor once.” I said proudly.

“That powerful! And he is also intelligent enough to work with Tony.” Happy said, really impressed by my Peter.

“Still! I had not thought that two more Spider-Men would arrive in our world.”

“Emma, may I ask you something?” Aunt May said hesitantly.

“Sure, what is it?” I asked.

“Have you ever read any of our minds?” Aunt May asked politely.

“No, I have not.” I replied immediately without any hesitation.

“But, why have you not, girl?” Dr. Octopus asked as he entered the room.

“First, tell me if Mr. Osborn is still asleep?” I asked since I didn't want an accident to happen.

Although I had managed to switch Mr. Osborn back into control, he had been quite mentally drained so I had to put him to sleep for now.

Once Peter returned, likely with all three Spider-Men, I was going to wake him up and start the procedure for sealing his Goblin personality.

Honestly, his Goblin personality was not strong enough to take over Mr. Osborn's body on its own. However, the Goblin serum in Mr. Osborn's veins bolstered the Goblin enough that he could take over his body temporarily.

That was also the reason why I could not kill the Goblin personality with my telepathy. Because he was tethered to the Goblin serum in Mr. Osborn's body, thus making him both of physical as well as mental problem.

“Yes, Norman is asleep like a baby. I would rather say that he has not slept like this ever since he took the Goblin serum.” Dr. Octopus answered.

“Now, tell me why you are not going around reading everyone's mind when you have this incredible power?”

“To be honest, it is because it makes it much easier for us to live in the society.” I replied honestly.

“What do you mean, girl?” Dr. Octopus said, puzzled by my words.

“When my powers first manifested, I used to read everyone's mind like you said. And that is when I learnt how cruel humans could be. My life had not been any good even before my powers manifested but when my telepathy activated, it was like I could see everyone's true faces.” I explained.

“It was a little too overwhelming. Frustrated by how cruel everyone was, I decided to run away from home, thinking my telepathy would be more than enough for me to make me rich. At that time, I had a complete lack of faith for humanity.”

“But how did all of that change?” Aunt May asked curiously since I was not like how I explained myself to be.

“I entered Professor Xavier's Academy.” I replied with a smile.

“My starting days at the Academy were not good but I gradually learnt how to trust people there. I met people my age who had suffered because of their powers yet could smile like nothing had happened.

Professor Xavier, a telepath himself, taught me how I should use my powers and when. I originally detested his lessons but later learnt to appreciate them. It was him who taught me that the restaurant of one’s power was not a weakness but a strength.

It is not that I do not use my power to invade others’ mind now but I only use it against those who are hostile to us.”

“There are enough superhumans in your world that you can form an Academy!” Happy said, shocked by the fact that there was an entire academy for mutants in our world.

“We are called mutants. In our world, we have existed since ancient times but have been ostracized far too often. Our powers are because of a special gene called X-gene which manifests almost randomly in any human. One of the major reasons why Professor taught us to respect others' privacy was because of the stigma us mutants have.” I explained the situation of the mutants in our world.

“Emma, have you ever tried to read Peter's mind since he is your boyfriend?” Aunt May asked teasingly.

“Actually, it was because I tried to read Albion’s mind that I initially gained interest in him.” I said with a chuckle as I recalled our first meeting.

“Really, how did that happen?” Aunt May asked, sensing quite a story.

“I had tried to read Albion's mind as I wanted to learn something from him which he was hiding. However, Albion’s powers also have a mental aspect which led to quite an intense backlash for me. This incident caused me to initially be an interest in Albion.” I answered.

Whirl!

I was about to continue the conversation with Aunt May when suddenly a portal formed before us.

Looks like they were finally back. As it had been quite sometime since they had dispatched the Rhino, there had likely been a heavy discussion with Dr. Strange at the New York Sanctum.

My Peter entered not only with this world’s Peter but also the two other Spider-Men we had just seen on the news like I had predicted. Moreover, my Peter also had Max aka Electro in his grasp whose hands were bound with enchanted handcuffs.

Once everyone entered and the portal closed, the two other Spider-Men removed their masks, revealing that they took were Peter Parker.

“Peter!” Dr. Octavious said, recognising the Peter Parker who was the older of the two. Looks like they were from the same world.

“Nice to meet you again, Doctor. Never thought that I would see you again.” The older Peter said emotionally as he hugged Dr. Octavious.

“You too, Peter! You have grown older.” Dr. Octavious replied with moist eyes. It was clear that there were no hard feelings between the two even if this Peter had killed Dr. Octavious.

“So, what is the verdict? What has Dr. Strange said?” I asked my Peter.

“Dr. Strange has given us time only till tomorrow evening. After that, we are back home.” Peter answered.

“Well, I believe that it is more than enough time to produce something which can at least save their lives.” I said, believing in Peter.

“What is that thing?” Max aka Electro suddenly said as he looked so intently at the fabricator or rather its Arc Reactor that everyone could see that he coveted it.

“Don't even think about it!” Peter said as he created a few red sparks to threaten Max.

“You! What are you?” Max shouted as he immediately backed away, completely frightened by the sparks.

“I have always felt like electricity was mine. But now, it seems that this mere sparks can devour me.” Max said, explaining his feelings.

“Why is this Electro afraid of a few sparks?” Dr. Octavious asked curiously.

“Because my red lightning is of a higher tier of lightning with its on magical signature. It has same functions as normal lightning even though it is quite stronger. However against another lightning, it will simply devour it completely.

Against someone like Electro whose body is too drenched in electricity, it will act as an absolute virus which can tear apart his body in a few hours using his own electricity. So, you better behave Electro!”

Peter explained about his red lightning not only to explain but also to frighten Electro so that he doesn't try anything.

“I will behave! I will behave!” Max said repeatedly, completely frightened by Peter's red lightning.

“Everyone, we should get to work! We only have less than a single day.” This world's Peter said, drawing our attention to the main matter.

“Alright!” My Peter and the other two Peters said as they readied themselves to perform their very best.
