The aftermath of the intense battles left the group of Spider-Men and their allies with a mix of exhaustion and triumph. The defeated three, Kingpin, Olivia Octavius, and Tombstone, were securely bound and restrained, unable to cause any further trouble. With their adversaries taken care of, the focus now shifted to Peter life saving spell and ultimately sending everyone back to their respective universes.
As Peter returned from the New York Sanctum, he carried all of the necessary supplies in his necklace. He noticed the restrained new arrivals and instantly recognized them from his trip to Miles's universe. Whether they were actually from his universe or a parallel one was a mystery.
Peter turned to the group, Lily standing at his side. "What's with these guys?"
"They were waiting here when we arrived…" Tom quickly explained everything that happened before Peter's arrival.Peter nodded. "We'll deal with them later. Right now, our priority is my spell." He says as he looks up at the sky. "After all, we're running out of time…"
Following Peter's gaze, everyone looked up at the sky, finding it in perfect condition. They began to wonder if he could see something that they couldn't.
And they would be correct.
Sending a small amount of Eldritch energy into his eyes, Peter could see the tiny purple cracks beginning to form along the blue sky. Cracks leading to other universes, filled with all sorts of dangerous beings. Strange's spell has been active for far too long, and it's starting to grow into an even bigger problem…
'We only have until sunset.' Peter thought as he prepared to speed things along.
Turning back to the bewildered group, Peter noticed Natasha standing among them. "I take it she was pulled out of her time as well?" He asked.
Tony nodded. "Yeah, don't worry. I've already checked her over. She's the real Natasha." He says as he frowns thoughtfully. "Will your spell be able to work for two people? Because if not, I'd rather you save Natasha."
Peter shook his head firmly. "No, That won't be necessary. I grabbed some extra supplies just in case, so I can make it work." He said as he turned to Natasha and smiled. "It's good to see you, Natasha, or at least a version of you. You know, in my universe, you're one of the few teachers I've ever had. You, the Ancient One, a few master in Kamar-Taj, and that's about it."
"What about school?" Lily asks as she squeezed Venom on her arms.
"Meh, I don't count them…" Peter shrugged. After all, they didn't really teach him anything that he didn't already know.
Natasha's curiosity piqued as she heard Peter's words. "Nice to meet you, Peter," She said with a small smile, extending her hand. "I'm not sure what happened in your universe, but I'm glad I could help."
Peter took her hand, his respect evident in his eyes. "It's an honor to meet you too, Natasha."
"So, did you run into any problems?" Tom asked.
MJ stepped up as well. "Yeah, is Doctor Strange still in his cell?"
"Yeah, he's still locked up. And nah, it went pretty smooth." Peter shook his head. "Though the Sorcerer Supreme did caught me stealing," Peter revealed, catching everyone off guard.
"And you call that smooth?!" Tony shouted in a mix of exasperation and worry.
Peter shrugged. "Meh, he didn't put up much of a fight. We had a bit of a battle, and then I locked him up with Strange in the Undercroft cells. He shouldn't cause us any trouble."
Everyone was shocked to hear that Peter had defeated the Sorcerer Supreme, but Peter downplayed it, saying he was just a bit weaker than Strange, so it wasn't a massive fight.
Lily, always proud of her father, chimed in. "You should have seen it!" She boasted with a huge smile on her face. "Dad even promised to teach me magic when we get home!"
Tony chuckled at her enthusiasm, then turned to Peter. "So, you can save both of us?" He asked once again, for clarification. "Without messing anything up? Thanos still dies and the Universe won't implode?"
Peter nodded confidently. "Yes, I can make it work. We'll get everyone back to their universes and save both you and Natasha."
Still not fully convinced, Tony expressed concern about using May's apartment, suggesting they use the Avengers tower instead. Peter agreed, knowing it was a more suitable location for the delicate spell. He glanced at Kingpin, who was still unconscious, and realized he wouldn't even fit through May's front door.
"Good call. Let's head to the tower. We have everything we need, and I can set up the spell there," Peter suggested as he waved his hand, conjuring a portal to the roof of the tower.
As the group piled into the portal, leaving behind the bus they had arrived in and the wreckage of their previous battle, police sirens could be heard in the distance, growing closer and closer. It seems that super-powered fights were breaking out all over the city lately, but they always seem to arrive just a minute too late to catch anyone.

The group arrived at the Avengers Tower, where Tony and Rhodes led Peter to a large and open room suitable for his spellcasting. As Peter started pulling out artifacts, odd ingredients, and ancient tomes from his storage necklace, Tony couldn't help but be curious about the nature of the spell.
"So, what exactly is this spell going to do?" Tony asked, his eyes flickering with a mix of fascination and concern.
Peter continued setting up the components, drawing intricate symbols on the floor with blood, and placing ingredients at crucial points around the room. He consulted the ancient books he had taken out, double-checking every detail. "This spell will allow us to save you and Natasha, while also sending you back to finish off your last moments," Peter explained as he worked diligently. "After all, we have to make sure your past actions, the ones that were crucial to this universe, still happen."
Tony raised an eyebrow, trying to comprehend the complexity of the situation. "You're going to send us back to our deaths?" he asked, a hint of uncertainty in his voice.
"Not exactly," Peter clarified, pausing for a moment to meet Tony's gaze. "You both have to go back to those moments in time, but I have a plan to get around the whole dying part."
The group leaned in, curious to hear Peter's solution.
"I'll create soulless and mindless clones of both you and Natasha," Peter explained. "I'll tie your astral bodies to the clones and send them back to your respective timelines, where you'll be able to perform the necessary actions. Once you've fulfilled your destinies and faced your deaths, I'll use a spell from this book I got from the New York Sanctum to pull your astral bodies to back to your main bodies here." He said as he held up an aged, dusty tome.
The room filled with a mix of confusion and intrigue as Peter held up the dusty book.
"What's an astral body?" Lily asked, her eyes wide with curiosity.
"It's like your soul and conscious mind mixed together," Peter explained with a warm smile. "Think of it as the essence of who you are spiritually and mentally."
Tom frowned thoughtfully. "Aren't the clones people too? I don't think we should be sending them to their deaths…"
Peter shook his head. "No, the clones will only appear human. I'm not giving them an astral body. And even if I wanted to, it would be extremely difficult to do so. After all, creating actual life is hard. Which is why we have to put Tony and Natasha's astral bodies inside of them."
"But didn't you make me with magic?" Lily asks curiously. "Do I have an astral body?"
"I…" Peter froze for a moment. "I don't know…" he answered truthfully.
"Is there a way to find out?" Lily asked with a small frown on her face.
Peter nodded. "Yeah, but are you sure you want to know?"
"Yes!" Lily answered instantly.
"Okay, hold still…" Peter says as he reaches out and grasps Lily by the top of her head. And with a single pull, everyone watched as a ghost-like transparent Lily came flying out. "Venom, catch her."
In an instant, Venom morphed into a small bed, which Lily's pilotless physical body collapsed on.
"Woah!" Ghost Lily exclaimed in awe as she left her fathers grasp and floated around. "This is so cool!"
"I guess you do have an astral body." Peter muttered in shock. "I wonder how I did that?"
Tony processed the information, his analytical mind trying to grasp the intricacies of the spell. "So, you'll pull our souls out like that, stick them in these clones and send us to die in our timelines, but then our souls will be brought back here?" he asked, seeking confirmation.
"Exactly," Peter nodded. "It's a way to cheat death, allowing you both to continue living here. This is the best I can do on such short notice. If I had a week or two, then maybe I could come up with a better plan."
The room fell silent as everyone absorbed the gravity of Peter's plan. The weight of altering time and tampering with life and death hung heavily in the air. But Peter was confident in his abilities and knew the risks were worth it to save Tony and Natasha.
While everyone was shocked, processing all of the information they were just given, Peter continued readying his spell, whilst Lily dashed around the room, looking like a cute little poltergeist.
