After injecting and assimilating America’s blood, which was a rather uncomfortable and slightly painful experience, Peter tried to use her powers, hoping to open up a star shaped portal.
And thanks to his mastery over his abilities, it didn’t take more than a single try to see a small shining star appear. It wasn’t large enough for him to fit through yet, but with enough practice he should be able to master this new ability of his.
Peter smirked. “Thank you America. I’ll be sure to pay you back somehow…”
With that done, Peter donned his sleek spider suit and opened a portal, stepping confidently into the heart of Tony’s workshop. The air was thick with the scent of machinery and the hum of advanced technology.
Tony, the genius billionaire, philanthropist, and whatever other titles that fuel his ego, was hard at work on the finishing touches of a new Iron Man suit, using the tech taken from Kang the Conqueror.
Tony looked up from his workbench, a concentrated look on his face as he spotted Peter, setting aside his tools. "Hey, what’s up?" Usually, when Peter comes to his lab, he isn’t in uniform, so something had to be up.
Peter gave a casual wave. "Yo," he greeted. "I've got a bit of a situation, and I need to use the ship we've been working on."
Tony's brow furrowed with interest and a small bit of concern. "Does this have something to do with that demon monster thing that attacked your house?" he asked curiously.
Peter raised an eyebrow in surprise. "You already heard about that?" he asked, amazed at how quickly word had spread.
Tony chuckled and pointed to the AI interface hovering nearby. "Jarvis here monitors police frequencies and keeps an eye on all our fellow Avengers," he explained. "Safety first, you know."
Peter felt a bit annoyed with Tony’s surveillance of him, but in the end, he appreciated Tony's protective behavior. "Well, you're not wrong," he admitted. "And yes, it has everything to do with that demon."
Tony's expression shifted to one of curiosity. "What do you need me to do?" he asked, always eager for a new challenge.
“Nothing,” Peter shrugged, speaking in a hushed tone. "I'm going after someone who's causing trouble," he explained. "A witch with reality-altering powers and a very dangerous book."
Tony's eyes gleamed with excitement. "Count me in," he declared, already eager to join the adventure. "We built that ship together, and I wouldn't miss its first test run for anything. Besides, I’ve always wanted to meet a witch."
Peter nodded. "Sure, you can come. Just remember," he cautioned, "this isn't just a joyride. We're going into a universe with a fairly powerful opponent, so be prepared."
Tony rolled his eyes playfully. "Prepared is my middle name, Pete," he said, though he didn't mention that his middle name was actually Edward. "I'll just need an hour to finish up this new suit. Gotta test out the tech during the mission, right?"
Peter agreed with a nod. "Sounds good," he said. "I need some time to work out the coordinates for our destination anyway. We'll meet here when we're ready."
As Tony returned to his work, Peter pulled out his smartphone and tapped on an app called 'Spider-Verse Group Chat.' The app had been created using a blend of mystic arts and technology, allowing the Spider-People that Peter’s met across the multiverse to communicate with each other.
Opening the app, Peter checked the chat history. The members, including Ben, Gwen, Spider-Pig, Tom, Peni, Noir, Miles, Tobey, and Andrew, had been discussing their recent encounters with villains and sharing a few jokes at Ben and Tobey’s expense.
…
Gwen: Ugh… I’m so tired. I had to fight like a thousand mutant mole people today… They just started spilling out of sewers.
Ben: I remember my first sewer mutant attack… They tried to take over the surface world with 30 guys riding giant mutant rats.
Tobey: Yeah, back in my day…
Gwen: Boomers…
Miles: +1
Peni: +2
Spider-Pig: +3
Tom: +4
…
After catching up on their riveting conversations, Peter typed out an important notice.
Peter: Yo. I'm pushing through an update for the app in five minutes. Please make sure your phones are charged and on. It includes some new features like video calling, a trade system, and a few bug fixes.
The group chat buzzed with excitement and curiosity as members inquired about the new features. They were thrilled to have Peter actively participating in the chat for once, as he was typically the least active member, with only a few messages a week or sometimes even a month.
After addressing their questions, Peter initiated the update. The app's software was a unique blend of magic and technology, so the update required a complex spell along with a software update. When it was complete, everyone in the chat noticed the new features and eagerly tested them out, calling one another and even trading some useless items to see of it would work.
Unbeknownst to the others, Peter's update had also secretly added a tracking function. A multiverse map appeared on his phone, lighting up with nine different locations, each marking the position of a chat member. It was a brilliant move on Peter's part, as it would help him navigate the multiverse more efficiently, like a GPS system.
Peter couldn't help but chuckle to himself as he marveled at his ingenuity. With the updated app and the ship that he and Tony had built, they were more than ready to travel the multiverse.
As he waited for Tony to finish his suit, Peter couldn’t help but wonder how Tom would react when their ship appears in front of him. After all, Peter is fairly certain that it’s his universe that the Scarlett Witch is in. ‘I can’t wait to see the look on his face…’

After the final preparations were made, Peter and Tony stood side by side in the far corner of the workshop, facing an empty wall. The wall looked like an ordinary wall, but it was actually a high-tech access point that concealed their most precious and ambitious creation yet. They both raised their hands to the wall's surface, their fingerprints scanned, and a series of tests and passcodes completed.
With a soft hum, the wall began to shift and change, revealing a big cylindrical structure behind it. The size of a phone booth, the multiverse ship stood tall and imposing. Its metal surface gleamed under the workshop lights, and it exuded an air of otherworldly technology.
Peter had been the one to choose the ship's shape, inspired by the Tardis from the iconic show Doctor Who. Although the Tardis typically disguised itself as a British police box, its true form was that of a metal cylinder, just like this one. Tony, however, regarded the design with a skeptical frown.
"I still can't believe you convinced me to make it look like this," Tony grumbled, shaking his head as he examined the ship's exterior.
Peter rolled his eyes at Tony's complaint. "Come on, Tony," he retorted, a playful smirk hidden under his mask. "You know we can make it look however we like. The cloak can make the ship look like anything. We can change it to look like a porta-potty or a police box, if you want."
Tony huffed and crossed his arms. "Yeah, yeah," he conceded. "But I call dibs on picking the cloak. I need to make this ride look better. I can't trust your taste anymore."
Peter chuckled at Tony's response, understanding that his friend had a particular aesthetic in mind. Without further ado, he approached the ship, and as he did, the ship telepathically confirmed his identity before the door swung open automatically, revealing the interior.
Just like the real Tardis, Peter and Tony had used their knowledge of mystic arts to carve all sorts of runes into the ship, making the interior much larger than the exterior would suggest. Stepping inside, they found themselves in a spacious, high-tech chamber that resembled the interior of an advanced spacecraft. It was an impressive sight, a testament to their combined skills and creativity.
Once they were both inside and the door sealed shut behind them, Peter made his way to the control panel at the center of the room. He plugged his smartphone into the console and accessed his specially designed app. With practiced fingers, he began opened the multiverse map and selected Tom's universe.
As Peter worked on the controls, he turned to Tony and asked, "Are you ready?"
Tony's nervousness was evident, but it was eclipsed by his excitement. His eyes shimmered with anticipation as he grasped onto a nearby railing for support. "Ready as I'll ever be," he replied with a determined nod.
With everything in place, Peter initiated the ship's activation sequence. Just like the Tardis, the cylinder ship flickered in and out of existence before completely disappearing from their universe Al side it’s passengers.

-Original MCU Universe-
Out of nowhere, a cylindrical ship shimmered into existence in a dimly lit bedroom, causing Tom and MJ to break apart in surprise. They had been lost in a passionate kiss on Tom's bed, their hearts racing with the intensity as they tore off each other clothes.
But, the sudden appearance of the metal cylinder in the room was more than enough to make them jump apart, wide-eyed and startled. Tom's heart pounded in his chest as he tried to process what had just happened, preparing for some sort of villain to jump out and attack.
As the ship settled in the room, its presence casting a surreal glow over the space, the door swung open and Peter stuck his head out, pulling his mask off to say hello, "Yo," he called out as usual, grinning as he noticed Tom and MJ’s distinct lack of clothing. "Did I interrupt something~?"
