After their month-long journey through the multiverse and helping Wanda with her happy ending, Peter and Tony found themselves back in their ship. Tony, eager to explore the multiverse even further, couldn't help but ask, "So, where are we headed next?"

Peter glanced at him, his brow furrowing with a hint of weariness. "We've been gone for a month, Tony. I need to check on my family, especially America. MJ's thinking of adopting her, not to mention the fact that I have a wedding to plan."

Tony sighed, reluctantly agreeing. "Alright, fine... But we have to schedule the next multiverse trip soon, or else I'll just leave without you."

Peter shrugged. "Deal. Now, let's head back." He said as he walked over to the control panel and began to set the coordinates for their home universe.

But, as the ship's systems came to life, something strange happened. A loud, guttural hum reverberated through the ship, followed by a series of disconcerting bangs. Peter and Tony exchanged concerned glances... this was definitely not normal.

Suddenly, smoke began to rise from the ship's control panel, and circuits were popping with bursts of electricity. Panic set in as the ship phased in and out of their current universe before flickering across the multiverse. It was either a malfunction or some critical issue with the ship's design, and now it was manifesting in the worst way possible. At the worst time possible.

"Sh!t... Sh!t...Sh!t... Sh!t...Sh!t... Sh!t...Sh!t... Sh!t...Sh!t... Sh!t..." Peter quickly tried to take control of the ship and set it to return home, but the problems persisted.

Smoke continued to pour from the damaged systems, creating a tense atmosphere inside. Finally, after a few tense minutes, the ship was able to materialize in another universe, but something was off. Instead of appearing on solid ground, it was suspended high in the sky, hurtling towards the green and blue earth below.

Feeling the free fall, Peter rushed to the ship's door and wrenched it open. Smoke billowed out as he gazed down at the familiar terrain far below.

Acting on instinct, Peter leaped out of the door and summoned Phoenix flames along his body, propelling him forward. Grasping the ship with both hands, his extraordinary strength allowed him to slow the plummeting ship's momentum. Gradually, they descended toward the ground, and with a gentle touch, he set the ship down safely.

They had crash-landed in a dark, industrial part of an unfamiliar city, the surroundings littered with towering factories. Tony staggered out of the ship, still coughing from the lingering smoke. He surveyed the damage and muttered, "We'll need at least a week to fix all that damage and find out what went wrong..."

As Tony turned toward Peter, the lights of the city revealing a bright symbol in the distant sky, he noted, "At least we made it back home in one piece-" But his tone shifted as he stared at the ominous shape. "Is that what I think it is?" Tony asked Peter.

Peter turned his gaze upward and froze in disbelief. High above them, piercing through the cloudy night sky, was a bat-shaped signal, unmistakably the bat signal. His jaw dropped as the realization hit him. They hadn't returned to their universe... they'd somehow landed in some sort of DC universe.

Peter nods, "That... That definitely looks like the bat signal..."

As the Bat-Signal loomed over them, Tony was practically bouncing with excitement. He turned to Peter, his eyes gleaming. "This is it! We're in a comic book! I get to meet Batman! This is like 10 year old me's wet dream!"

'I wonder how he'd react if he found out that he was a comic book character too?' Peter though before quickly bringing Tony back to reality. "Hold on. I get that you're excited, but we need to secure the ship and find a safe place to put it first. And we don't even know which DC universe we're in. It could be one where Batman is... not exactly the hero you're hoping to meet."

For all they knew, they could be in the universe with the Batman who laughs, one of the scariest versions of Bruce Wayne.

Superman glanced away momentarily, considering the challenge that was always Batman, and when he turned back, he realized the Dark Knight had vanished, leaving him to manage the aftermath alone.

With a wry smile, Superman muttered to himself, "How does he do that every time?"

Lois Lane and Jimmy Olsen were no strangers to danger. As intrepid reporters, they often found themselves chasing leads that took them to the darkest corners of the city. Today was no exception as they crouched atop a stack of metal shipping containers at a desolate shippingyard.

Lois, with her signature black hair and a determined glint in her eyes, peered through binoculars, watching the suspicious activity unfold below. She wore her characteristic sharp attire, professional yet ready for anything.

Beside her, Jimmy Olsen, a lanky figure with short red hair, focused on capturing the evidence with his trusty camera. His face displayed the enthusiasm of a dedicated photojournalist, unaware of the danger that loomed around them.

"Say 'cheese,'" Jimmy muttered to himself, taking snapshots of some mysterious individuals unloading crates from a ship. He had an innate ability to capture moments in time that told a story in the blink of an eye.

Lois, however, had an instinctive sense for trouble. She noticed subtle signs that something was amiss and tugged on Jimmy's arm. "Something's wrong. Let's go."

Jimmy, intent on getting one more shot, hesitated for just a moment, snapping another picture of the suspicious activity below. But before he could finish, a deafening gunshot echoed through the air.

Suddenly, bullet pierced the side of Jimmy's head, causing him to topple to the ground. The blood flowed from the wound as his body went limp, life extinguished in an instant.

Lois gasped in shock and horror, rushing to Jimmy's side as she called his name, but there was no response. His eyes dimmed, his once vibrant spirit vanishing with the finality of death.

"Hehehaha..." The ominous laughter that followed sent a chill down Lois's spine. She turned to see the Joker, a man with chalk-white skin and a chaotic mop of green hair, grinning wickedly in her direction. He held a smoking gun, a mad glint in his eyes.

"Well, well, well," the Joker taunted with a chilling chuckle.

Beside him, Harley Quinn, with her vibrant red and blue hair and her oversized mallet, gazed at the scene with a manic glee. She twirled the weapon in her hand, ready for any chaos that might follow.

"Imagine meeting you here, Lois," the Joker mused, his voice dripping with malevolence.

"Vacationing is so fun, puddin'." Harley commented, smirking happily.

"Only the very best for you, Harley." Joker turned back to wink and mistakenly steps into a puddle of blood. "Ew... I got some Jimmy on my shoe..."
