The storm rises

Nick Fury was back and he quickly met up with Dio to have a detailed discussion and to see this Bruce Wayne for himself. Bruce Wayne himself didn't show any resistance as he knew that he needed a powerful forces to return to his world. 

Still, to make his Space Time Machine, he would need a lot of time and funds. Unless he chose to rob a bank or become a criminal, it would definitely take a lot of time to achieve this. The Space Time Machine that he build would definitely be demanding too as it required the Flash to exceed his speed limit. 

At this point, he didn't even know how to achieve such a thing. Although it seemed the danger and power in this world wasn't inferior to his own world, it was really hard to say anyone could rival the Flash's speed. 

After discussing everything with Dio and Nick Fury. Dio called someone called Quicksilver and after Bruce told everything that Quicksilver needed to know, Quicksilver seemed to be fascinated by the Flash. 

Quicksilver, who was prideful by nature couldn't seem to think that his speed would be inferior to others. If someone from Bruce's world could do it, then he would certainly be able to do it as well. Coupled with the fact that Quicksilver had been studying how to use his own speed to transcend time several years ago, he was excited that it would be put to good use this time around. 

It was proof that his power could be developed further!

So, after hearing everything that he ought to know about Bruce's world, Nick Fury looked at Dio and chose to believe Dio for now. They began to plan for Bruce Wayne's Space Time Machine and in terms of funds and equipment, they had Stark and Wakanda for help. As for the Source of Power for the machine, obviously they could only rely on Quicksilver. 

The only thing they ought to prepare was their mental state because if this project succeeded, they would encounter another universe and prove to everyone that Multiverse did exist. At the same time, no one could determine whether their world would get a huge opportunity or a crisis.

Now, the real question was whether Bruce's old world would invade this world over time? Because from Bruce's story, Dio and the others know that Bruce's old world was taken over by a super villain.

Once Bruce's old world really invaded this Earth, then the two worlds would collide! Although they knew that Bruce was hoping to use their power to save his world, they couldn't afford to be reckless. Because the risk was too huge for them not to devise a proper and detailed plan.

But it didn't mean that Dio and Nick Fury would abandon Bruce's world. They just had to make sure that they weren't beaten one-sidedly for being too overconfident in their own power. They had to make sure that the battlefield was on the opponent's universe, not theirs. 

Their universe could no longer withstand a huge disaster! 

Fortunately, Bruce didn't have any qualms about their plans. Since he had already taken advantages of the people in this world, he couldn't ask to fight in this universe too! He knew what he was asking was already too much. Even if his universe was destroyed in the end, he wouldn't blame the people of this world.

Because Bruce knew his universe had long been ruined, even if the people of this world wouldn't help his world, nothing changed.

After all the discussion was concluded, Bruce followed Nick Fury to complete his assessment with the SHIELD. Still, SHIELD kept Bruce's information classified as his information could cause panic to everyone.

This was also why there was no need for the Avengers to assemble again and Dio himself wasn't sure that the time they really need the Avengers to assemble again would come anytime soon as he himself was unwilling to break the peace the world has right now.

. . . . . . . . . .

On the other side of the world, Peter's identity as the Spiderman was finally exposed and he was warmly welcomed by his classmates on his first day of school. 

Peter couldn't hide from the stare that his peers threw at him as it was obvious that they wanted to ask for so many questions. It was understandable as they thought that they were living normally all along but it turned out a superhero was walking among them all along. But even more surprisingly, the superhero was accused as a murderer of another hero that protected the Earth! 

All of the news that was spread from the media kept Peter as the focus of attention, but they also received some criticism as some people still believed in Peter, such as MJ, Ned, and several others.

Nevertheless, more people slander his name and treated him as a villain. Worse thing was that Peter was getting bullied in school over this matter as he occasionally found his locker and desk being covered by slur and provocative images. 

Even worse, when he got home, Peter found his door was also covered in graffiti and when he opened his door, he also found that his house had been thrashed!

The room was a mess and the walls, floor, and even some of the ceiling were covered with paint. Peter was very angry for the event, but at the same time, he was grateful that Aunt May didn't have to see this. Peter had already entrusted Aunt May in Happy's protection and she had already moved out of the house to live with Happy. 

After looking around his house, Peter found a gift box on the table inside the dining room. Peter was silent for a moment as he knew that nothing good would come out of it. Peter even thought that it might be a bomb for a moment. 

Nevertheless, Peter stepped forward and opened it. 

It wasn't a bomb, it was a dead mouse and a card inside. Peter picked up the card and read it out loud. "Finally found you, Spiderman! I am giving this gift on behalf of those people you sent to prison! Now, the hunter and prey roles have changed and you will die soon!" 

Peter had already expected that the criminals he sent to prison would try to get revenge on him once his identity was revealed, but he didn't expect it to come this soon. But still, it was normal! After all, the Spiderman kept foiling the criminals' plans that happened on the street. 

Maybe in the past, these criminals didn't exact their revenge as they didn't know anything about Spiderman, but now that his identity was made public, there would be people that tried to get their chance on revenge against Peter!

No criminals would accept the fact that they were defeated by a high school student!

Peter sighed as he knew all along that once his identity was exposed, the role of hunter and prey would change. Now, Peter was exposed and every criminals that didn't want their plan getting foiled would come for Peter!
