Everyone was confused. Confused was an understatement. Murmurs spread through the theatre, but silence fell as the movie continued.

Peter Parker: [grunting] I am so confused right now.

Tony snorted, receiving a glare from Pepper that promptly shut him up.

[Otto's arms seem to be feeling uneasy.]

Otto Octavius: What's happening?

Iron Spider A.I.: New device detected.

[Peter uses Bluetooth in his armor's interface to link the tentacles to his mind]

Iron Spider A.I.: Pairing new device.

"That's genius," Bruce muttered to himself. Many of the people in the theatre weren't following what was happening but guessed that it was a good thing based on the proud smile Tony was giving the screen.

Otto Octavius: (staring at one of the tentacles) Don't listen to him, you listen to me.

[Peter, having freed his hand, moves it up and down. One of the tentacles follows his movement. The boy chuckles]

Peter Parker: Hey.

This little display made everyone chuckle at the childlike behavior of Peter Parker.

[Peter whistles and waves, and the tentacle does the same. He then mentally grabs another tentacle and uses it to grab the MIT lady's car. She screams in terror. Octavius tries to swing at him but is held in place by his harness, rendered useless by the nanotech. Slowly, the device lifts the vehicle, as well as Peter and Doc Ock, back towards solid ground]

Otto Octavius: (looking around) Hey. (yelling, agitated) Hey! Listen to me! No, not him! Me!

"He has anger issues" Clint stated, causing him to be elbowed by Kate.

[As soon as they're all on the bridge, Parker rips off the car's door, hides the armor, and checks on the administrator.]

Peter Parker: Ma'am, are you okay? Come on, you can still make your flight.

MIT Administrator: (wide-eyed) Peter... You're a hero.

Peter Parker: No. Well, I'm... No, I'm...

MIT Administrator: I'm gonna talk to Admissions about your friends... and I'm gonna talk to them about you.

Peter Parker: No, but, ma'am, this isn't about me.

MIT Administrator: I'm going to talk to them about your friends and you. Okay?

Peter Parker: (smiling) Really?

Tony, after being reminded about Peter not being accepted, was fuming, but quickly calmed down after hearing this, causing Pepper to sigh with relief.

She needed a vacation.

MIT Administrator: And if you keep your noses clean, maybe you'll have a fair shot. (pushing Peter aside, stepping out) Here. Get out of the way. Let me get that man. (to Doc Ock) You. I see you. Come here! That was not okay. Unbelievable.

[She walks away. Peter approaches Otto]

Peter Parker: Who are...

[The scientist, gritting his teeth, swings at him wildly twice. Peter evades the blows easily.]

Peter Parker: Hey! Hey-hey-hey! Until you stop trying to kill me... (showing the holographic device) I'm in control, buddy... of this whole tentacle situation you got going on here. Okay? Now, who are you? What is going on...

Many people facepalmed from the awkward accent Peter put on, but couldn't deny, it was funny.

[The Tingle rings again. Something tocks forward over the curb: a Pumpkin Bomb. It whirs and detonates, destroying several cars and causing fire and smoke to fly up. Out of reflex, the nanites cover Peter's face again with the Spider-Man mask. Out of the smoke flies the Green Goblin to the tune of his gloriously evil theme. He's hovering on his trusty Goblin Glider, cackling madly and, again, with a lot more life in him than we've seen since the end of the first Spider-Man movie. Doc Ock frowns.]

Otto Octavius: Osborn?

Who's Osborn? Was the unspoken question in everyone's minds.

[The Goblin flies over towards Peter and Octavius. Just as he's about to skewer Spider-Man at the end of the Glider, a portal swoops in from the side, transporting Peter back to the dungeon at Bleecker Street. The mask and the suit dissipate. Peter looks around. He's seemingly around and wanders around for a bit.]

Many people sigh with relief and sent Strange grateful smiles, who just nods back.

Peter Parker: Doctor...

[A beastly roar surprises him. Curt Connors, the Lizard, growls from inside of what seems to be some kind of magical barrier. Peter jumps up again when he sees Doc Ock in another cell, trying to break out. A hand touches Peter's shoulder. He yelps and turns around]

Stephen Strange: (battered up) Be careful what you wish for, Parker.

"What happened to you, Strange?" Tony asked, snickering. The only answer he got, was a glare in return.

Otto Octavius: [slamming his fists against the barrier] Let me out of here!

Peter Parker: (deeply confused) Can you please explain to me what is going on?

Stephen Strange: That little spell that you botched where you wanted everyone to forget that Peter Parker is Spider-Man, it started pulling in everyone who knows Peter Parker is Spider-Man, from every universe, into this one.

"How does that work?" Banner muttered. His brain was about to go into science overload any second now.

Peter Parker: From every universe?

Otto Octavius: Who are you? Where am I?

Stephen Strange: (pointing towards Octavius) I think it's better if we don't engage with him, because, frankly, the Multiverse is a concept about which we know frighteningly little.

Peter Parker: (shocked) The multiverse is real?

Stephen Strange: (sighs) This shouldn't even be possible.

Peter Parker: But I thought you stopped the spell?

"Yeah, what happened?" Steve asked no one in particular.

Stephen Strange: No, I contained it, but it would appear that a few of them squeaked through. After you left, I detected an otherworldly presence. I pursued it into the sewers, where I found that...

"Nevermind" Stev muttered.

[He points at Lizard's cell. Peter bends backward to get a quick look at him. Connors mildly roars, and turns to Peter, who quickly redirects his attention to Strange]

Despite the situation, this lightened the mood.

Stephen Strange: ...slimy, green son of a gun.

Otto Octavius: (frowning) Spell? As in magic? What is this, a birthday party? Who is this clown? What is this madness?!

Stephen Strange: (to Peter) Watch this. [to Octavius] Do you know a Peter Parker who is Spider-Man?

Otto Octavius: Yes.

Stephen Strange: [pointing at Peter] Is that him?

Otto Octavius: (shaking his head) No.

"This is so chaotic," Tony managed to say between wheezes. 

Stephen Strange: (back to Peter) See? Okay, here's what we gotta do. I don't know how many of these... visitors we got...

Peter Parker: I saw another one. On the bridge. He was like a... Like a flying green elf.

Stephen Strange: [sarcastic] Well, he sounds jolly. [normal] Why don't you start with him? I need you to capture them and bring them here, while I figure out how to get them back before they destroy the fabric of reality, or worse, Wong finds out.

"Is Wong that scary?" asked Thor.

"Yes," Both Strange and Wong said at the same time, they looked at each other and seemed to have a stare-off.

[He grunts and holds his hand against his torso, bruised by his unseen encounter with the Lizard]

Peter Parker: Uh, Doctor Strange?

Stephen Strange: (turning around) What?

Peter Parker: My friends and I just got a second chance at getting into MIT. If the school sees me fighting these crazy monsters...

Otto Octavius: Hey, watch your mouth!

Peter Parker: [to Octavius] I-I'm sorry.

"So polite," Natasha muttered, getting an amused look from Yelena.

Stephen Strange: You're seriously still talking about college?

[He transfers the last bits of nanotech from Peter's body to his arm and, with the use of his magic, upgrades it.]

Peter Parker: Hey, what did you just do?

Stephen Strange: This.

[He fires a string of web at Peter, who disappears upon impact and reappears in another cell]

"That's so cool!" Morgan says with stars in her eyes as she looks at Strange, who seems unsure of what to do in this situation.

Peter Parker: Hey, you can't just...

[He grunts as he bumps his head against the cell barrier]

Otto Octavius: [confused] How did you do that?

Stephen Strange: Lots of birthday parties.

Clint somehow managed to end up on the floor again after another fit of laughter.

[Strange proceeds to deactivate the barrier and set Parker free. Then he pulls his hand forward and transports the web shooter back to Peter. It molds into a mini gauntlet.]

Peter Parker: Whoa.

Stephen Strange: One shot, send it to me and move on. You're welcome. Get to work.

Peter Parker: Sir?

Stephen Strange: [stops, sighs, and turns around] Now what?

Peter Parker: I know this is my mess, and I swear to you that I'll fix it, but I'mma need some help.

[Strange tilts his head. We hear the sound of doors closing as we cut to Ned, MJ, and Strange entering the Sanctum Sanctorum vestibule, the snow inside slowly starting to melt.]

Many people lean forwards in their chairs, eager to know what these teenagers were up to.

Ned Leeds: I can't believe I'm in the Sanctum Sanctorum.

Stephen Strange: (annoyed) Neither can I.

Tony snorts, ignoring the glare from Strange.

Ned Leeds: So... how did you know you're made of magic? Because my nanna says that we have it in and sometimes I get these tinglings in my hand...

Stephen Strange: You should talk to your physician.

"Don't be so rude, Strange," Wong scolds playfully. Strange's face must start to hurt because of the number of glares he's sent everyone.

MJ: Peter!

Peter Parker: Hey!

MJ: Hey.

Peter Parker: I'm so sorry for dragging you in this, you just gotta help me find these guys...

MJ: You don't have to apologize. You got us a second shot at MIT.

Ned Leeds: So, how did the bad guys get here?

Stephen Strange: He screwed up a spell trying to get you into college.

MJ / Ned Leeds: [in unison] Wait, what?

MJ: I thought it was a magic laser? You did it with magic?

Peter Parker: No, that was after. Let's just focus on the good news, okay?

"What good news?" Yelena asked, getting elbowed by Natasha and being told to shush.

Stephen Strange: No, let's just focus on the bad news. As of now, you have detected zero multiversal trespassers, so get on your phones, scour the internet, and... Scooby-Doo this ****!

"LANGUAGE!" Steve yelled in Strange's ear, causing him to jump and sent Steve into the wall out of pure panic and reflex.

MJ: You're telling us what to do, even though it was your spell that got screwed up, meaning that all of this is kinda your mess.

[Strange looks at her, mildly offended]

Tony laughed at Strange, wheezing out a quiet "your face!"

MJ: You know, I know a couple of magic words myself, starting with the word 'please'.

Stephen Strange: Please Scooby-Doo this ****. (quips a smile, turns away) You can work in the undercroft.

Ned Leeds: The undercroft?

"What's that?" Pretty much everyone asked, only to be ignored by both Strange and Wong.

[They end up in a dark, damp, and overall dodgy-looking basement.]

Ned Leeds: Cool.

[He starts exploring the room immediately and lifts up an old crossbow]

Strange put his head in his hands as Wong laughed at him.

Peter Parker: Guys, listen. About this whole spell thing...

MJ: It's... totally okay.

Peter Parker: Wait, really?

MJ: Yeah. I mean, I get it. You were... just trying to fix things... And so... Maybe just run it by us next time, you know? That way, when you're thinking, "Hey, I'm about to do something that could... break the universe", we could like, help you. Workshop something, or... brainstorm ideas.

Peter Parker: Deal. Ned?

Ned Leeds: Oh, dude. I don't care. And seriously, not a big deal. Oooh...

[He notices a pilates machine in the corner]

Ned Leeds: A torture rack.

[He touches one of the springs, it whirs]

MJ: That is a pilates machine. That is...

[She points to the dungeon in front of her]

Peter Parker: The crypt.

[They walk up to the villains' cells.]

"This isn't going to end well," Clint muttered.

MJ: Okay, so we get the rest of the guys. You zap them, Doctor Magic will send them back and, when we get into MIT, round of stale donuts, my treat.

"So kind," Ned mocks, before promptly shutting up at the glare MJ sent him.

[Ned joins them, armed with the crossbow.]

Ned Leeds: Let's catch some multiverse men.

Otto Octavius: Hey! Who the hell are these two?!

Peter Parker: These are my friends. This is MJ and this is Ned.

Ned Leeds: [waving] Hello.

This reaction got a few chuckles out of the audience of Avengers and teenagers.

Peter Parker: I'm sorry, what was your name again?

Otto Octavius: Dr. Otto Octavius.

[The three of them chuckle at the absurdity of the villain's name]

Peter Parker: Wait, no seriously, what's your actual name?

Almost everyone facepalmed at the three teens' behavior.

Ned Leeds: [pointing at Curt Connors] Oh, is that a dinosaur?

[The Lizard just glances at him, looking very miserable. Cue some wacky Michael Giacchino music - a blend of Spider-Man and Strange themes arranged in a particularly freaky fashion - and an equally wacky montage. As Otto tries to break free from his arm restraint, Peter prepares to clean his suit up and Ned sets up his equipment. MJ does some other stuff, including studying Stephen's goatee template. The Lizard throws a stone in his cell, wallowing in his sadness. Peter scrubs his suits with foam thoroughly, desperately trying to coax the green paint out, while also having a conversation with aunt May on the phone.]

May Parker [vo]: If it won't come off, bring it to the shelter and I'll get it out.

Peter Parker: No, no, no, May. We gotta find these guys first.

May Parker: Well, finish your mission, then come by.

[Peter realizes he can't wash the paint away. He has turned the suit inside out, where the fabric is black with gold wiring.]

Peter Parker: That could work...

Ned Leeds: I got one, I got one, I got one.

Again, people lean forward at the suspense of the new mission.

Peter Parker: Oh, May? I gotta go.

May Parker: Okay. Love you. Bye.

[Peter and MJ gather around Ned's desktop. He shows them the result of his research on his laptop.]

Ned Leeds: I mean, you can take the guy out of the chair, but you can't take the chair out of the guy.

People look at the screen in confusion, whereas Ned looks embarrassed and MJ puts a comforting hand on his shoulder.

Peter Parker: What did you find?

Ned Leeds: There's a... disturbance near a military research facility outside of the city, and witnesses say they saw a monster flying through the air.

Peter Parker: That's gotta be the guy I saw on the bridge, right?

Otto Octavius: That's impossible.

"Huh?"

[Peter steps in Octavius' direction, who has his back turned]

Peter Parker: You know him, don't you? On the bridge, you said his name.

Otto Octavius: Norman Osborn. Brilliant scientist. Military researcher. But he was greedy. Misguided.

Peter Parker: What happened to him?

Otto Octavius: [turning around, enraged] WE TIRE... OF YOUR QUESTIONS, BOY!

Many people jumped at the sudden outburst from the tentacle man.

Peter Parker: Okay... I gotta go. Where are we going?

Otto Octavius: It can't be him.

MJ: Why?

Otto Octavius: Because Norman Osborn died, years ago. So either we saw someone else... or you're flying out into the darkness, to fight a ghost.

"Not ominous at all," muttered Tony.

[Cut to an admittedly riveting yet also ominous shot of Peter swinging alongside trees and power lines at dusk. In the undercroft, Ned tries to find something to eat in the fridge, but backs off, seeing it's full of weird interdimensional creatures. MJ monitors Peter's actions and surroundings via a camera phone duct-taped on his chest.]

MJ: Keep an eye out on those trees, we don't really know where this guy is. (from the phone) I genuinely don't know how you do this without throwing up.

"Me neither," Clint muttered.

[Spider-Man continues swinging, lowering his altitude, and finally lands in a gloomy forest spot. He starts sweeping the area. He suddenly stops. Something is moving around him, in a wavey pattern. Sand...]

Many people feel like they are watching a horror movie.

Peter Parker: Did you guys see that?

MJ: No. Uh...

Ned Leeds: It's, it's really dark.

[Parker continues scouring. After a while, he completely freezes in his tracks, and his suit's eye lenses widen. Behind him, something sparkly and blue starts forming from the power lines, drawing yellow electricity. The air starts whirring, louder and louder. Blue light illuminates the darkness of the night.]

Both Tony and Bruce were desperately trying to find out how this scientific phenomenon was possible.

Ned Leeds: What's happening?

MJ: Peter, what is it? Are you getting the tingle thing? Is the tingle thing happening? Is your tingle tingling?

"I don't think you two are helping," Flash muttered to them, both Ned and MJ turned red with embarrassment.

[Peter turns around with his web gauntlet ready to fire and sees the figure. It has achieved a nearly corporeal shape.]

"What?" Bruce muttered.

Peter Parker: Are you guys seeing this?

MJ: Yeah.

Ned Leeds: Osborn?

Peter Parker: No. He was green. This guy's blue. [to the electric being] Uh... You wouldn't happen to be from another universe, would you?

Despite the situation, people found themselves bursting with laughter.

MJ: What's he doing?

Peter Parker: I don't know. Looks like he's charging.

MJ: I don't like this. Just web him.

[Spider-Man shoots a web, but it flies straight through the blue visitor's body, hitting a tree, which materializes in the crypt, startling both MJ and Ned. Back at the forest, the
