Buzz! Buzz!
“Both of you are finally here.” Ms. Ororo welcomed us as she opened the door of the X-Mansion.
Before we could say anything, she wrapped both of us in a tight hug.
“I am glad that both of you are alright. It was almost impossible for me to believe that both of you had been sucked into a portal and teleported to a whole different world when you had just went on your first date. I thought that I was going to lose my mind.”
I could clearly feel Ms. Ororo’s emotions through her voice. Among all the teachers, she was the youngest one. As such, she cared the most for us because she treated us as her family.
“Are both of you alright?”
“You didn't get injured, did you?”
“Do you have any problems from the interdimensional travel?”
As soon as we entered the lobby, we were showered with questions from everyone. It was obvious just how much worried they were for us.
Moreover, they seemed more worried about Emma since they knew that there were very few things in the world which could get past my defence.
“We are alright, everyone. I didn't even engage in combat for the most part. Peter was the one who fought generally. As such, you don't need to worry.” Emma said, reassuring everyone that nothing had happened to me.
“By the way, how was that other world?” Kitty asked curiously.
“Indeed, you have not told me much about that world yet. How was your journey in that world?” Professor Xavier also asked. It was obvious to see that everyone was extremely curious about our multiversal adventure.
“I will tell you everything. But first, I have to do something extremely important.” Saying these words, I immediately rushed past them towards the basement lab.
“What has gotten into him today?” I could hear Kurt's puzzled voice in the lobby as everyone was confused by my unusual behaviour.
It was not that I didn't want to tell them everything but my anxiety rose everytime I thought about the disc Happy had given me.
Inside the disc was information which could transform our world like never before. As such, I could not take a sigh of relief until I uploaded the data into our database.
“Phew! It has finally started.” I said with a sigh of relief as the main computer started copying the data inside the disc.
“Why did you rush here, Peter? It is not like you at all.” Professor’s worried voice sounded from behind me.
Looking behind, I could see that everyone was here, having followed me into the basement lab out of curiosity.
“It is just that the spoils I had obtained were a little too much important. As such, I couldn't control myself and immediately rushed here to upload it.” I answered with a smile.
“Just what had you found there that you were so anxious to upload it, Peter?” Professor Xavier asked curiously as helped at the monitor which showed the data from the disc being copied.
“Something which can change the world.” I replied as I created the hologram of the Iron Spider suit to show as a proof.
“Is that the suit of that world’s Spider-Man? But how can it change our world?” Professor Xavier asked, not being able to understand the meaning of my words.

“It is no simple suit, Professor. It contains the technology of the future.” I explained as I magnified a part of the Iron Spider suit, making the nanomachines which formed the suit visible to everyone's eyes.

“So, you are saying that the world you went to was a lot similar to our own and it was actually 10 years ahead of our time. This allowed you to obtain a lot of information and technology from there.” Professor Xavier said after I explained how our entire multiversal adventure went.
“Yes, that world was quite similar to ours despite several inconsistencies. For example, mutants didn't exist in that world. Moreover, the Spider-Man aka Peter Parker of that world was born much later compared to my own birth date.” I explained the differences between our worlds with examples.
“So, you know the mastermind behind the Battle of New York because of the information you obtained in that world. This Thanos, the Mad Titan is the one who sent the Chitauri army to the Earth according to your information, could give him enough power to erase half of the entire universe’s population!” Professor Xavier said, finding the existence of someone like Thanos illogical.
“Even though there are several differences between our worlds, if we reference the data we obtained from there it is likely to be the truth. The alien telekinetic who headed the alien invasion is very likely to be Ebony Maw, one of Thanos' lead subordinates. If it was indeed Ebony Maw, then Thanos was surely the one behind the Chitauri army.”
“Well, we didn”t have a lead till now so we can only rely on the information Peter and Emma obtained.” Professor Xavier said with a sigh, ready to believe in this information for now.
“But according to this information, Thanos actually succeeded in his mad plan in that world, causing the incident called the Blip. However, the Avengers then managed to somehow freaking time travel and reverse the Blip! Sorry, this sounds a little too unrealistic, bub!” Mr. Logan said, believing time travel to be something impossible.
“Even I don't know the specifics of how the Avengers achieved time travel in that world. I tried to obtain as much information as possible but unfortunately I didn't have much time.” I replied in a sad tone, wishing I could have obtained something more.
“It is good that both of you managed to obtain at least this much in a single day. I don't know how I would have managed myself if I fell in that world which was so similar to my own yet so different.” Jean said to us, believing that we did as much as we could.
“Trust me, we didn't know what to do in the first hour. It was only after we met Dr. Strange, the former Sorcerer Supreme of that world that it was possible for us to obtain the information which was not available to general public.” Emma replied.
“Indeed! If Emma had not been with me, it would have been much more difficult for me to handle myself in that foreign world. I also have to thank Mr. Happy Hogan, Mr. Stark’s P.A. who trusted in us and freely gave us the Stark Industries’ technology.” I said, thanking Mr. Hogan since we would never have this technology with his help.
“Even though this incident was unexpected, both of you obtained quite a windfall. This technology can literally change the future' course and perhaps even shape it.” Professor Xavier said, congratulating us for our achievement as he looked at the main computer which now contained the technology from a parallel world.
“Professor, I have an idea.” Emma suddenly said.
“What is it, Emma?” Professor asked curiously.
“I believe that you are going to give this technology to SHIELD.” Emma said.
“I have to give it to them. They are the only once I can trust with this technology. Even if there are currently HYDRA spies inside the SHIELD, I believe that Director Fury can handle it safely, especially since he would now have information from future on his side.” Professor Xavier replied.
“Then, I suggest that we trade this technology with them instead of giving it to them for free.” Emma suggested. Looks like Emma's ambitious side was coming out even though it was for the entire X-Men instead of just for herself.
“But SHIELD would definitely give us a huge amount of money for this technology, Emma.” Professor Xavier replied with a frown.
“This technology is something which can literally shape our future, Professor. I am not asking you to demand a near impossible amount from SHIELD. Just enough that the X-Men can stand on their own legs instead of living on the alms from the government.” Emma clarified her intentions.
“Fine! We will do as you suggested, Emma.” Professor Xavier accepted Emma's suggestion, realising that it was not an outlandish one and would only benefit the X-Men.
“Also, I would open accounts in both your and Peter’s name and transfer 10% of the total money we would obtain in your accounts since it was because of you that we obtained this technology.” Professor suddenly declared.
“Really, Professor?” Emma said with wide eyes, not expecting such a declaration.
“Both of you deserve it. Besides, I know your dreams, Emma. This money would be enough to support your ambitions.” Professor Xavier said with a small smile.
“Thank you, Professor!” Emma said with tears in her eyes as she hugged Professor in happiness. After all, he had just given her the means to actualise her dreams.
