[ Spider-Man stands on some rooftop or other, holding the camera in front of him as he speaks. ]

So City, I hear there are some Utlimates or Avengers-type people around. Are you guys active? 'Cause I'd like to join up. I'm a member back home, so--

[ There's a banging sound as the door to the roof clangs open, and an indistinct grumble of someone stepping out. ]

Hey, man, I'm kind of filming something here. I'll be gone in a minute.

[ From off screen, the other man speaks in a raspy and guttural voice, ]

You are just... like... me...

[ It's impossible to tell with the mask on, but Miles' expression is one of total terror. His posture goes rigid, shaking with fear. ]

No, no that's impossible....

RRAAAAAUGGHHHH!!!

[ The stranger rushes at Miles, tackling him and sending them both falling off the edge of the roof. As the device falls from Miles' grip, you get a glimpse of the man attacking him. He looks burnt to hell, and is wearing a head to toe skintight suit like Spider-Man, but is obviously much older. As bodies and device hit the ground, the feed cuts to black. ]

[ ooc: For reference, Miles is being attacked by his Uncle Aaron. ]

[Bruce's comm comes on automatically in response to mention of Avengers, drawing his attention to the post. He's rolling his eyes a little at "a member back home" but then things get crazy.]

Hey, kid, can you hear me? Where are you? I can send help.

[ The fall stunned both Miles and his attacker for a moment, and he blinks back into consciousness just as the voice sounds from his device. Unfortunately, so does Uncle Aaron.

He doesn't answer for a minute or two, not 'til he's got the undead Aaron securely wrapped in webbing and pinned to the wall. When he does respond, he's slightly out of breath. ]

I'm okay... I got him tied up. I don't get it though, he's not supposed to be here. [ Or alive, but Miles doesn't mention that. ]

None of us are really supposed to be here.

Are you hurt?

Yeah, but this guy really shouldn't be here.

He died, where I'm from. Man, he looks half-dead now.

[ Uncle Aaron just keeps struggling against the webbing and calling out "just like me" until Miles can't stand to hear it any more and shoots web over his face.

[ Miles answers and makes sure to point the camera away from the undead Uncle Aaron. ]

I'll be sore tomorrow, that's for sure. But I'm okay.

Who are the avenger-types? Did they come save you?

They're superheros. And no, it happened kind of too fast for anybody to come, but I took care of him... sort of.

Taking a look at the network, there's something going on, it's not just you.

He's just irrationally violent?

He totally wants to kill me. Though to be fair, that's sort of what he was trying to do last time I saw him, so I dunno if that's a thing or just him.

Super heroes?

Who was it?

Yeah, you know, guys like me who dress up and fight bad guys.

[ He gets all serious now. ] He's called the Prowler. He's bad news.

You were asking for Avengers. Steve Rogers is in charge of the police force, he might be your go-to guy for homicidal folks from home.

Cap's the police chief? That's a bit far from being president... [ The last bit is mainly said to himself, but loud enough for Bruce to hear. ]

Maybe I'll take him there. Though the police don't exactly have a history of being big Spider-Man fans. Hopefully it's different here.

Does dressing up HELP fighting bad guys?

[Because that outfit, while interesting looking, doesn't look like it actively helps you fight any crimes, Miles. Why not get a gun and a padded vest?]

Does he always look like that?

[ He has web shooters and superhuman reflexes. Who needs guns? ] Not really, but it keeps our identities a secret.

No, that is... there was an accident.

[Huh? Cap for president? Given the guy Bruce met, that would make him facepalm bigtime. More relevant is that the kid immediately made the connection between names and superhero.]

Yeah, well, I've never heard of Spider-Man. I don't know if Cap has or not. He's been here longer than I have.

And he died?

Yeah. At least, he died back home.

I thought so.

I saw someone from my home, but I don't think he's dead. Are you sure you're safe now?

Aw, come on! I thought Spider-Man was an Avenger too. [ The fact that there are more than two alternate universes has yet to dawn on Miles. ]

Where and when I'm from no one has heard of the Avengers. It's a very new thing.

Did he try to hurt you?

[ He points the camera at webbed-up Uncle Aaron. ] I'm good. See?

So maybe your Spider-Man just hasn't joined up yet.

Are you an Avenger?

I've stayed inside. How did you do that?
