Earth - 120703
New York
Somewhere in a dark alley a blue colored portal opened and from that portal stepped out a girl, a bald man in a wheelchair and an old man who had a weird helmet on his head. They all had a small suitcase with them.
As expected they were the trio who just left their Earth and came to a new and random Earth. Though it was random, Chavez could always pinpoint an Earth where a powered being could be present. Though she wasn't sure what kind of powered being would be there, she could bring herself and the two of them in the general location.
"Erik, please don't humiliate us by wearing that ridiculous thing on your head." Charles said as he looked at Erik who still had his anti-telepathic helmet.
"I will be in your control if I do that. Here in this unknown place I would rather be ridiculed then give up my body. What if there are other telepaths here? What should I do then?" Erik said.
"If there is another telepath or another version of me, I will stop it. Now take it off. We are not at war here, but to seek help." Charles said. Erik hesitated for a bit before finally taking it off. He too thought it would be bad if someone saw him in this weird helmet.
"If you both are done with your childish arguments, can we leave?" Chavez reminded them. In the past week they finally understood what kind of girl this teenager was.
A rather sassy one.
Both just shook their heads without taking her 'harsh' words to their heart and went out of the alley. Coming out they realized that they were in New York. The iconic buildings, the heavy traffic and people rushing to their work.
"So we are in New York. This makes things easier. I thought the cities might change on this new Earth." Erik said.
"Charles, use your telepathy and find out where we can find mutants or people like Chavez." Erik continued.
"No, this is an invasion of privacy. We can do our own detective work and find out about them. It would be better." Charles said.
"You and your morals..."
"Guys, guys look at this." Chavez said as she pointed out a newsstand. In the newspapers there was a huge picture of a man. A man in a red costume from head to toe swinging past the buildings with 'ropes' that seemed to stick to the buildings.
The picture was taken from a great angle showing every part of the man in red costume and even the rope that the man was hanging on looked crystal clear in the picture.
Under the picture it was written
'Spiderman saves the day.'
'....On a building that caught massive fire, Spiderman swings in and rescues a 5-year old child....'
All the three were dumbfounded seeing such a headline. Especially Charles and Erik. From the article they could easily confer that this person was a man with powers.
Swinging across buildings with just ropes needed immense strength. Though from the picture they could say that the rope was artificially made, it didn't take away the fact that such work needed finesse.
All their lives they had never thought of using costumes. Sure the X-men has a uniform but that was just for protection. But this person has managed to get a suit which worked as a whole ass costume.
"Is he a powered being?" Erik said.
"Looks like it. We don't know his face. We will have to find him." Charles said.
"Spiderman.. What a weird name... Ewww... Already giving me the creeps...." Chavez commented.
As they were discussing how to approach this 'spiderman' they heard a huge explosion. And the next moment people were running in opposite directions. There was such a rush that Charles almost got tackled by the people. Chavez had to use her strength to sidestep the people.
Erik almost used her powers to squat them away but Charles stopped him.
"What is going on?" Erik asked.
"Uhh. People are running because another maniac in costume has gone loose." Charles said as he had peeped into the mind of one of the people who were running.
"Another powered being? We should look into it." Chavez said as she got excited and started walking to the spot where the sound of the explosion came from. In a few seconds all of the 3 reached the pace where this all had started and what they saw really changed their perception altogether.
There was a huge steel machine that looked like a rhino. Yes, it was a steel rhino.
And inside that rhino it looked like there was a man operating this huge machine.
All of the three almost fell down in their spot by looking at this ridiculous and horrible machine that the man was using.

"What kind of ridiculous thing is this? It's not even practical. What does this whole machine do? Stop bullets?" Erik said as he saw that the 'rhino' and demolished cars and properties around. Behind him it could alos be seen there were some goons.
They looked like robbers and from a nearby decimated jewellery shop it was pretty apparent that these people just robbed the shop. And 'rhino; was providing cover for the robbers as they were running away.
"How did these dumb fucks even transport such a huge useless machine in broad daylight? Did nobody see and report them to the police?" Chavez said as she was confused how did this machine appear here with nobody stopping them.
"Seems like we have come to the world of dumb people." Erik said as he was disappointed with what he saw. He expected to see people like him. All powerful and smart. But it seemed like he expected too much.
Even Chavez looked visibly down seeing all of this.
"Erik, please stop him from creating any more chaos. Be subtle about it." Charles said as he was the only one who cared about the people here. Though nobody was injured in this weird heist, the way it was proceeding it wouldn't take much time for it to happen.
"Alright." Erik said as he moved his hand to manipulate the metal that rhino was made to throw him out but he stopped right in his tracks. He from the corner of the eye saw a man swinging from a rope and landed just near the rhino.
It was Spiderman!!
Which was apparent from the costume. And as he landed near the rhino who was demolishing things, the police and the firefighters too arrived.
"Hey Aleksei, how did you escape the prison and even get your hands on the old ridiculous machine again? I thought I destroyed it the last time we met." Spiderman said.
"Step out of the machine and surrender yourself Aleksei. You have been surrounded." said a policeman from the back of the police vehicle door in classic movie fashion. Rhino, hearing this, turned his head and looked at the police and spiderman.
"Spiderman!!! I suffered a lot in the jail for you. You will pay for this." Rhino said as he rushed onto Spiderman without caring for the fact that the police had already arrived and they had their guns pointed at him.
The trio were on the side looking at this. Erik didn't take action as he wanted to see how this guy would handle this. Chavez too who was ready to get involved as she was curious about this spiderman. Though she hated spiders, the costume looked cool.
"Charles, did you get into his head?" Erik asked.
"Yes. I only peeped into his name and address. Name is Peter Parker and lives with his aunt in Queens." Charles said.
"Good. After this affair we will go to his home and knock." Chavez said.
Meanwhile the Rhino and Spiderman were fighting each other in full force. Rhino was using his metal hands to throw heavy things at Spiderman while he was avoiding or stopping the objects to create any harm to the people around who were cheering for him.
After Spiderman appeared many people came forward and cheered for him. It looked more of an exhibition match between two people than a serious fight and a heist. And all of the people around constrained Spiderman a bit as he couldn't fight him well.
He was more concerned about the safety of other people.
"Erik just stop this madness before anybody gets hurt." Charles said as he couldn't jeopardise the safety of the people more as 'rhino' was getting mad. The police had already shot a few rounds but it did nothing to his huge metal suit.
Though Spiderman was able to hit the metal and was easily able to put huge dents on the body of 'rhino', it didn't stop the rhino from going into a rampage. Erik just moved fingers a little and suddenly all the nuts and bolts came out of the machine.
Out of nowhere the 'rhino' was trying to assault Spiderman stopped and his machine fell apart little by little. All the people who were watching felt surprised for a second and then they all cheered.
"See!! Spiderman's punches were strong. It literally broke the machine apart." said a kid from the side.
"Yeah. Spiderman is cool. I want his autograph." said another kid.
Erik, listening to this, smirked for a bit but didn't comment on the kid's false assumption.
Meanwhile Peter was dumbfounded seeing this, because he was pretty sure it wasn't his punches which broke the metal armor. He had vibranium armor but he only used it when the enemies proved to be too strong. In this case he was using his normal suit.
As he looked at Aleksei who was face planted on the ground, his spider senses went off.
