"So uhmm... Who are you? Cool suit, by the way," Phineas said, eyeing Ren curiously.
"Uhmm, well, my name's Ren and I'm..." Ren paused, unsure of how much to reveal.
Phineas tilted his head in confusion.
"I'm from another universe," Ren finally confessed, deciding honesty was the best approach.
"Woah, that's cool," Phineas replied enthusiastically. "Come on in first!"
As they walked through the house, Phineas couldn't contain his curiosity. "Does your universe have aliens? Or are you an alien? Do you also live on Earth?"
"Well, first of all, I'm a human—a hybrid, actually, or maybe more of a mutated one. And yes, I live on Earth in my universe, and we do have aliens and all sorts of strange creatures," Ren explained, thinking of Metro Man, Megamind, and the minions.
"That's amazing!" Phineas exclaimed, with Ferb nodding in agreement. "How did you end up here, though?" Phineas asked.
"Oh, well, I followed a ship that was floating above your house. It looked familiar, and I thought it might be my ticket back home," Ren said. As they entered the kitchen, he caught sight of the Avengers and muttered to himself, "Looks like my guess was right."
"Who's this new friend?" Thor asked as he approached.
"He's Ren, from another universe, trying to find his way home," Phineas explained.
"So you're far from home, huh?" Spider-Man chimed in, examining Ren's suit. "Are you a superhero too?"
"Well, soon to be—Arrgh!" Ren began, but suddenly he grimaced in pain, his body glitching and spasming uncontrollably. He collapsed to the floor, clutching his glitching hands in confusion and agony.
"What's happening to you?" Spider-Man asked, kneeling beside Ren.
"This universe... it's rejecting me," Ren managed to say through gritted teeth. "I think... it's because of the different frequencies... couldn't mesh with my atoms..."
"What do you mean, the universe is rejecting you?" Iron Man questioned, his concern evident.
"My glitching... it's from being in a reality that isn't mine. The frequencies are causing violent spasms," Ren explained, recalling similar phenomena from the Spider-Verse.
"How did you even end up here in the first place?" Spider-Man inquired.
"My friend has a power with void portals. She lost control, and one of them pulled me in and transported me here," Ren recounted, trying to steady his breathing amidst the pain.
"Well, looks like we've got a lot to figure out today, Ferb," Phineas remarked, his mind already racing with ideas.
Just then, Candace descended the stairs and entered the kitchen with an enthusiastic stride. "Alright, boys and girls, listen up. Mom's on a walking tour in Danville, and Dad's tinkering in the basement, so I'm in charge. That means no shenanigans."
"Hey, Spider-Man," Candace greeted casually before noticing the others. "So I'll be with Stacy to-da-da-day." but then she stuttered as her mind started to sink in that there were superheroes in the kitchen. Her voice faltered as she processed the scene unfolding before her eyes—superheroes in her kitchen.
"Sup," Spider-Man replied nonchalantly.
"Greetings, fair young lady," Thor added with a bow.
"S-Superheroes... in our kitchen?" Candace stammered, her mind reeling.
"I think Candace needs a moment," Isabella said gently, leading Candace away. "Just breathe."
"Uh-uh-uh," Candace managed to stutter out
"Yes, they are superheroes," Isabella reassured her, before exiting with Candace.
"It looks like you guys have a fan," Phineas chuckled.
"Oh boy— bam!!" Iron Man exclaimed as he collapsed."
"And it's probably good she didn't see that," Thor remarked with a grin.
"I'm okay," Iron Man assured them.
"Hey, where's Perry?" Phineas suddenly wondered aloud, scanning the room for their platypus pet.

Perry's Lair
Major Monogram face appears in a somewhat dated TV monitor beside Director Nick Fury's imposing image.
"Have a seat, Agent P," Major Monogram announces, motioning towards Perry's designated spot.
"Due to the gravity of your mission today, the gentleman on the big screen will be addressing you, while I'll be using this old TV Carl found in the basement," Monogram explains, his face slightly distorted on the screen.
"Sorry, sir, I couldn't get the split screen to work," Carl's voice chimes in from the background.
"Anyway, this is Director Nick Fury of S-H-I-E-L-D," Monogram continues, trying to keep the presentation on track.
"That's S.H.I.E.L.D, it's an acronym," Fury clarifies sharply.
"Oh, like O.W.C.A," Monogram retorts, trying to keep pace with Fury's seriousness.
"Yes, except it's cool," Fury deadpans, not missing a beat. "Now, where's your agent, Major?"
"He's sitting right there," Monogram replies proudly.
"You mean behind the platypus?" Fury questions, eyeing Perry with curiosity.
"No, that's Secret Agent Perry the Platypus," Monogram clarifies, emphasizing Perry's dual identity.
Nick Fury looks at Perry skeptically. "Is he some kind of super platypus with super platypus powers?"
Perry stares back deadpan. "Umm... no."
"Does he have some kind of robotic platypus exoskeleton?" Fury presses on.
"He, umm... he has a fedora," Monogram answers hesitantly.
Fury raises an eyebrow. "Hey, wait a minute, were you wearing that eyepatch when we started?"
Monogram hesitates briefly. "Uh, yes, doctor's orders. It's a style,"
"He thinks it makes him look cool," Carl interjects mischievously from the background.
"No, I don't," Monogram denies half-heartedly.
"I'm going to proceed as if this is going really well," Fury mutters under his breath, clearly unimpressed with the situation. He turns his attention back to Perry. "Agent P, Iron Man, Thor, Hulk, and Spider-Man have lost their powers due to a mysterious draining ray we believe originated somewhere in the Danville area. We fear a group of supervillains are closing in. We need you to monitor the situation and report back."
"Francis, I'm gonna need you— now what are you doing?" Nick said, noticing Monogram wearing two eye patches.
"He thinks two eyepatches make him twice as cool," Carl quips from the background.
"I don't know what you're talking about," Major Monogram feigns ignorance poorly.
Fury sighs heavily and facepalms. "Alright, let's just hope Agent P knows what he's doing."
"Grrrggrr" Perry the Platypus stood up, adjusted his fedora confidently, and set off on his mission.
