[There is a nerdy looking teenager on the Omnicomm, clad in a slightly more advanced version of the Spider-Man suit than many who knew any of his counterparts would be familiar with.]

..so...um..Hi? Sorry, Never really had to introduce myself to a 31st-century superhero team. I guess I should just jump right in? I'm Peter. Peter Parker. And it case It wasn't obvious, I'm also Spider-Man. Powers are being able to do whatever a spider can. Well, mostly. The webbing isn't biological, it's actually a shear-thinning adhesive I made which is...not really something I need to talk about right now.

I've been doing this for a while, already, although not really anywhere near this kind of scale. Mostly just normal crime. Biggest thing I've ever had to deal with by myself was fighting a guy with wings on the outside of a cargo plane. That was flying. And also invisible. Which was kind of completely terrifying, but not thing eating everything that will ever exist terrifying.

Also, I should add one more thing just so people don't think I'm talking to myself like a crazy person. Or crazier person, anyways. Apparently, she thinks she can patch into the omnicomm to take it from here, so I'll let her do that.

Hello there. My name is Karen. I'm an AI developed by Tony Stark to assist Peter in his work as Spider-Man and help him control the various functions of his suit. It's nice to meet you.

Anyways, that's me, I guess. What about you guys? Who am I teaming up with?

That's a thing? I mean, I guess it would be a thing, given the ability to detect multiple universes. Not really sure how well it'd work considering there's nothing stopping each separate universe from developing their own system.

Although, if you could detect other universes, you might be able to backtrack to the original universe and then work your way outward from there aaand you're three years old, aren't you?

I'll take that as a "no."

[She taps at something off-camera, presumably entering data.]

The system's in general use among transuniversal travelers in our section of the omniverse. Everyone smart enough to start dimension-hopping realizes it's arbitrary and no one bothers to look for the "original" universe, since the term's largely meaningless. I'm from Earth-616.

[Yes, the Fantastic Four titles use the numbering system in-universe.]

Yes, I'm three. Valeria Richards.

[She says, as though he should recognize the name. Or the surname, at least.]

...okay, supergenius three year old. I can get used to that. Probably.

Sorry, you're saying your name like it's supposed to mean something to me, but I've never heard it before. I guess this other me knows you but I don't. Or a version of anybody who might be related to you.

My parents are Reed and Sue Richards.

[She's watching for a reaction, unoffended. This is just more data. The fact that Peter's getting help from Tony Stark tells her something. Confirming the absence of the Fantastic Four would tell her something more.]

{Peter shrugs]

Sorry, I really don't know them.

Hmm.

[More typing.]

Who would you say is the smartest person on your Earth? I mean in terms of pure mental horsepower, regardless of what they choose to do with it.

...I'd have to say Bruce Banner, maybe? I don't know if you have him on your Earth or not.

I know Dr. Banner. He's definitely top ten, maybe top five, but at that level the rankings are really mostly for bragging rights. ...And categorization.

[Val finishes entering whatever data she's seen fit to gather.]

I've never run across a configuration like yours, but it's hardly surprising. Big multiverse, and most encounters are going to be between near neighbors.

[She shrugs.]

I guess so. Sorry, still having a little trouble wrapping my head around any of this. Does your version deal with multiple universes all that often. Or at all? Because I just got down telling Mr. Stark I'd rather just stick around New York and do the Friendly Neighborhood Spider-Man thing instead of joining the Avengers a few hours before I got here. Jumping from that to this wasn't exactly what I had in mind.

Yeah. Usually it's time travel where someone's coming back to avert a bad future, but sometimes it's just your standard invasion.

[Man, the Negative Zone is a pain.]

If it's any consolation, our Spider-Man is mostly solo. He does pinch-hit for my family sometimes, and gets roped into Avengers stuff a lot, though.

Kind of does, actually.

...so, I guess you're from New York, right? Yankees or Mets?

{Yes, it's a stupid question. But it's also one that has absolutely nothing to do with with the current situation, and therefore way less likely to make him question everything he knows about how life, the universe, and everything works.]

[Val blinks.]

Manhattan, but I don't follow sports.

[She's not being contemptuous. She just legitimately pays no attention to most things that aren't math.]

I wrote a program to optimize my uncle's fantasy team but he said that wasn't the point.
