It was the Earth of Andrew's Spiderman. That was why the Rhino was so ridiculous. (as it was in the movies. Though in comics I find him ridiculous too. One of the worst spiderman villains for me but he does have a compelling storyline)
Peter's spider senses went off after the metal armor of Rhino fell off. He turned his head and looked at the trio. He saw an old man in a wheelchair, a teenager and an old man standing beside her. His spider senses told him that this sudden stop of the fight was because of the old man standing among the trio.
He wanted to go and talk to them but he hesitated. Andrew knew if he approached them in public it might garner attention to them and he didn't want that. Gwen had already died and he didn't want more death just because Spiderman approached a person because his spider senses told him so.
He looked at them for a second and then used his web sling to swing away among all the cheers and shouts of the people.
"He noticed us." Charles said.
"Are you sure?" Erik said as he was surprised
"Yeah. His powers might not be just super strength." Charles said as he was thinking.
"This is interesting. We need to go to his place and learn more about this world." Chavez said.
They took a taxi to the house of Peter Parker. It was fortunate that the currency was the same as that of their Earth so it wasn't a hassle reaching his home. The home was a typical single piece of house in Queens. Erik and the duo went up and rang the bell.
A woman of almost the same age as Erik and Charles opened the door.
"Yes!!!"
"Hello Madam, Is Peter at home?" Erik asked in a polite tone.
"Peter. Yeah he is upstairs. Let me call him... PETER... PETER... Some people have come to meet you." the woman screamed. She was the famous Aunt May of Peter.
Peter was really at home as it was a holiday and he didn't have to go to work today so it was lucky that the trio found him at home. After a minute Peter finally came down from his room and when he saw the trio standing outside the door, he shuddered.
He didn't expect to see them again outside his own home. From the looks of them he could already infer that his cover has been blown. He thought hard but he couldn't find when he had shown his face to them.
Then came the dilemma if these three were good or bad. Though this old man had helped him in dealing with Rhino, he wasn't sure if they came with good intentions.
"PETER.. Are you in there?" Aunt May screamed again to bring Peter to reality.
"Yeah yeah.. Yeah they are my professors and they came to ask about the project I have been working on recently. Professor, was the equation I gave not good enough?" Peter said. Aunt May found it odd with the explanation of them being professors but she didn't think much and said.
"It was great but Charles here wanted to discuss more on the equation and maybe find out more on the theory which we discussed before." Erik said as he pointed at Charles, going on with the lie that Peter just conjured up.
"Ahh... Your professors!! Come in .. Come in.. I am sorry I am an old lady so I am still hesitant to let people inside. Please come in. I will make some snacks while you all discuss the project." Aunt May said as she invited them in.
"Its alright madam. We look like gangsters anyway." Erik jokes. Though this was sarcasm, Aunt May too laughed at it. The trio came and sat on the sofa. The home wasn't too big and Charles couldn't go upstairs with his wheelchair so they had to make do on the family room itself.
After Aunt went to the kitchen, Andrew's sweet smile vanished and he looked at them seriously and asked.
"Who are you and what do you want?"
"Mr. Parker. I am Erik Lehnsherr. This is Charles Xavier and she is America Chavez. We have come here to ask for help and possibly get some answers." Erik spoke up and introduced themselves.
"Hello but how do you know my name? And presuming you are here because of another identity, how did you come to know of it?" Peter asked as that was his main question. He needed answers of how his identity got exposed. Charles replied this time
"I am sorry Mr. Parker, we know of your identity and location because I peeped into your mind. You see… like you… we too have powers. I am a telepath, Erik here can manipulate magnetic fields and Miss Chavez here umm.. Well her powers are related to space and time."

"Time and space? Like she can manipulate real time and space. Wow!! And you say you have telepathic powers. That's so cool." Andrew said. Hearing those words the trio were taken aback. They thought Andrew would have a hostile reaction.
Or rather a reaction of him being suspicious of them, but all the young man had shown after telling them of their powers was enthusiasm. This was a total change of character after knowing that they had powers.
"Uhh.. I guess its cool." Chavez said as she got shy a bit after being praised for her powers.
"So I presume you are here to recruit me to form a team. Yes!! So we finally have an Avengers team on my Earth.. Yes.. Wohoo..." Andrew said as he visibly seemed excited. The other three were dumbfounded listening to such weird assumptions from this person.
"Can you calm down Mr. Parker? I don't understand what you are talking about? Form a team? Avengers? What is that?" Charles said as he needed to calm this guy down.
"Well you know.. A team of superheroes. The Avengers. " Andrew said as he was still agitated. He had travelled to the universe of John during the fight against Karn so he knew that there were teams of superheroes on many Earths. For this reason he was excited as he thought these people had come to invite him to join their team and this would be a very secretive team.
"Avengers! What are you talking about? No Mr. Parker we are here to know if there are other super powered beings on your Earth who can fight with us against a very terrifying enemy. We have come from another Earth. You might not know but there is a multiverse out there and ...."
"Hold on!! You mean to say you are from another Earth? Not from this Earth?"
"Uhh.. Yes.. We are from different Earth.. Like the parallel Earth theory.." Charles said.
"I know what that theory says. I have travelled to other Earths before." Andrew said. Now it was time for Charles and others to get surprised. They thought they were the first people to travel to the multiverse. Even Chavez thought that she was the first.
But it seemed the first random powered people they met had already done so before. Their small non-existential pride of travelling in the multiverse popped out pretty soon.
"Have you really travelled?" Charles couldn't help but ask again.
"Yes. Met other versions of me. Went on a huge mission to save the realities. Loved it. Made awesome friends too." Andrew said.
"This is unexpected. So ummm.. We have come from another Earth. We are on the verge of war against a being who is very powerful and wants to invade the multiverse. So we need your help." Erik said.
"Oh. Tell me how I can help?" Andrew asked.
Then Charles proceeded to tell him about an army they wanted to make from people across the multiverse in order to face him and he was the first person they came in contact with. And they wanted to know if there were other people like him on Earth.
"Trust me, all these years living here I haven't seen any other person like me, willing to do good and save the people. They were bad for sure, but good ones were not. But I can help you in this regard. Since I have travelled to the multiverse I have made friends out there. Some of them are really powerful and they have a huge team too." Andrew said.
All of their eyes shined when Andrew said that. Since Andrew here knew other people it would be easier to approach them and seek help.
"How can we contact them? I need to know which universe they belong to? I will go looking for them." Chavez said as she was excited. Finally she saw hope. Hope to bring Annihilus down and take revenge.
"Umm I don't know to which universe they belong. It's not a regular direction to which I can point out." Andrew said.
She stiffened listening to Andrew. He was right. There was really no general direction for other Earths and they wouldn't be able to pinpoint. But then Andrew said
"Don't worry. When I returned from my last adventure John gave me a magical talisman. John said to break it if I find any problem if I can't face it alone." Andrew said.
"John? Magic? What are you talking about?" Charles said as he was confused.
"Wait here." Andrew said as he went back to his room. After a minute he came back with a small wooden looking plate. It had weird Egyptian markings on it.
"John is my friend who I met in another multiverse. He can do magic and told me to break this if I ever need help. Now is as good a time as ever." Andrew said as he broke the plate.
