I CAN'T DECIDE IF I SHOULD CUSS OUT STRANGE OR THANK HIM. I didn't have much time to debate that before Tony got flung into a tree in the park. I looked at Dr. Banner before we both ran over to him.

    "Tony, you okay? How we doing? Good? Bad?"

    "Really, really good." Tony sarcastically replies from the ground. "Do you plan on helping out?" I could practically hear his eye roll.

    "I'm trying he won't come out." Dr. Banner sighs.

    "Do you want me to like.. Hit you?" I suggest. "Will that help?"

    I didn't get a response because an alien threw a big metal hammer at us. I quickly ducked out of the way, dodging the blow. Tony starts going head to head with the alien, surging light beams at him, knocking down trees in the process. I scramble back to think of spells that might help this situation.

    Tony gets knocked down and the alien comes up behind him about to land a punch. Spider-Man comes out of nowhere and holds the alien back. I couldn't believe my eyes. I've never seen Spider-Man in person. I fell into a sort of star-struck trance staring at him, but I snapped out of it when he started talking.

    "Hey, man. What's up, Mr. Stark?"

    "Kid, where'd you come from?"

    "A field trip to MoMA!!!" The alien grabbed Spider-Man and sent him flying across the park.

    Oh Shit.

    I quickly started to run over to where Spider-Man was hurtling through the air. I made a forcefield to where I thought he would land and just like I expected, he bounced off of it and landed on his feet.

    "Thanks." He acknowledged me before webbing the alien up. "Uh, what is this guy's problem?"

    "He's from space and he's trying to steal a necklace from a wizard." I answered.

    Suddenly, Strange came flying through the park.

    "Kid, that's the wizard. Get on it." Tony instructed and Spider-Man started swinging after Strange.

    I watch as the alien throws Tony around like a rag doll. He's got Tony bound to the ground and he's about to jump on top of him with a sword. I panic and quickly make a portal that the alien jumps into. I closed it before he could jump out.

    "Kid, you're invited to my wedding!" Tony tells me before flying up into the sky. I look up to see where he's going and notice Strange and Spider-Man being beamed into the spaceship.

I quickly debate if I should follow, running all the pro's and cons through my mind. And by 'quickly debate' I mean that I didn't think about it at all. I'm already in this mess, might as well follow.

    "Nice to meet you, Dr. Banner." I say to Bruce before making a portal to wherever Strange was.

.•¤۞¤•.

    "AND NOW, I'M HERE IN SPACE." I teleport onto a little platform on the spaceship. Tony and a familiar looking brown-haired teenager were arguing in front of me. As I got a closer look I realized that it was.. Peter Parker?!

Spider-Man, the confident, crime fighting vigilante, was Peter Parker, the quiet nerd in my physics class. Peter constantly trips over his words and cannot hold eye contact, there's no way he could be Spider-Man.

After thinking about it, Peter Parker as Spider-Man does make some sense. They are both extremely selfless and this would explain why he quit all of his extracurriculars. Spider-Man is Peter's more confident alter-ego, I guess.

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

    "I did think this through."

    "You could not have possibly thought this through."

    "You can't be a friendly neighborhood Spider-Man if there's no neighborhood."

    What?

    "Okay, that didn't really make sense, but you know what I'm trying to say." Peter pleads.

    "Hi, um sorry to interrupt-" I step forward, unsure if they saw me teleport in.

    "E-Emmie." Peter says with wide eyes. He's back to being his normal self after he saw me.

    "Peter."

    Peter Parker and I are not necessarily friends. We are more of friendly acquaintances who only talk to each other if we are partners in school. Our social groups don't align and I've never seen Peter outside of school. I still can not get over that Peter Parker, the biggest nerd I've ever met, is Spider-Man.

    "So uh, what are we going to do about that?" I ask, referring to Strange being poked with a bunch of huge needles below us.

    Tony and Peter peer over the edge to look at Strange.

    "Okay, have you ever seen this really old movie called Aliens?"

.•¤۞¤•.

    PETER'S PLAN WORKED. We saved Strange by blowing a hole in the side of the ship, the gravity caused the alien to fall into space. Strange stands up and his face falls when he sees me.

    "I'm not dealing with you right now." He rubs his forehead in frustration. " You came along so you are on your own here. This is your problem and it doesn't concern me." He walked past me and addressed everyone else.

I suddenly felt guilty for joining this space mission. It was clear Strange did not want me here, so maybe I shouldn't have came. Damnit, I should have thought longer about this.

    "We need to turn this ship around."

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

    "No, I want to protect the stone."

    "And I want you to thank me now. Go ahead, I'm listening."

"For what? Nearly blasting me into space?"

    "Who just saved your magical ass? Me!"

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

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

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

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

    "We're back up." Peter suggests referring to me and him.

    "No, you're stowaways." Tony corrects "The adults are talking."

    "I'm sorry, I'm confused as to the relationship here." Strange interrupts.

    "Yeah I could say the same thing to you but I didn't ask why you had a teenage girl at your sanctum." Tony sassed.

    It went silent for a few moments before Peter spoke up. "I'm Peter, by the way." He offered his hand to Strange.

    "Doctor Strange."

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

    Strange looks at Peter then turns back to Tony.

    "So what's the plan here?"
