(A/N: Quick question. Did you guys not like that MJ slapped Peter in the last chapter? I saw a couple comments where people didn't seem to like it. Let me know and I might edit it into her crying or something. Something to show that she was worried about him. Anyway, enjoy the chapter :)

As Peter reconnected with MJ and the rest of his family, Superman and Batman exited the Avengers Tower, stepping out onto the bustling streets of New York City. They still wore their superhero costumes, their striking appearances drew the attention of the people around them.

As they walked through the city, anyone who passed them couldn't help but glance in their direction. Some smiles of appreciation crossed the faces of onlookers, while others couldn't resist a sense of awe, assuming that the two towering figures were merely dedicated cosplayers.

Superman and Batman exchanged puzzled glances, wondering why the pedestrians were paying such close attention. They were well aware that their superhero costumes made them stand out, but it felt as though these people recognized them, and that was more than a little perplexing.

"Why does it feel like we're famous?" Superman questioned, his brow furrowed. "Everyone's looking at us and smiling. Its making my skin crawl..."

Batman, too, was bewildered by the attention. "I don't know, but it's like they know who we are, but that's impossible. We're in a different universe."

And it only got weirder as they continued. Soon enough, people began to comment on their cosplay, appreciating their dedication to accuracy. While a small minority of passerby's laughed at them, calling them comic nerds as they walked off.

Superman couldn't help but chuckle despite the confusion. "I thought wearing our suits wouldn't matter, but it seems our costumes are even more conspicuous here than they are in our universe."

Batman kept his gaze focused ahead, the gears in his mind turning. "There must be a logical explanation for this. Perhaps the people in this universe are simply more social than others? Though I still haven't figured out what a cosplay is..."

Superman was just as confused. "Maybe we should use the money Peter gave us and buy some normal clothes?"

Batman nodded in agreement. "That's probably a good idea..."

As they strolled through the city, looking for a clothing store, they encountered a large building with colorful banners and posters featuring a familiar group of heroes. Batman and Superman froze, recognizing their own images among the depictions of the Justice League and other unknown characters.

"What in the world is this place?" Batman muttered, his eyes locked on the signs and banners.

Superman couldn't help but comment, "This is incredible..."

As their journey continued, Batman, with a thoughtful expression, finally broached the subject that had been on his mind. "Ned, I'm curious about something. The Justice League adheres to a strict no-killing rule. How do you feel about that?"

Superman nods. "Yeah, Bruce and I have been arguing over this for a while now. I think they should just dispose of the more heinous criminals, while he thinks they should never take a life, no matter who it belongs to."

Ned paused, considering his response carefully. "Well, in a perfect, idealized world like cartoons and comics, that rule makes sense. But when you bring the Justice League into a real-world setting, it can be extremely challenging. The no-killing rule could potentially hamper the League's ability to keep people safe, especially when dealing with ruthless villains."

Superman and Batman exchanged meaningful glances, silently acknowledging the tension between their different approaches.

Ned continued, "I've read a lot of fanfictions and discussions on forums, and I think most DC fans share this perspective. While the moral idea of not taking a life is admirable, the practicality of it in a world filled with super-powered threats who show no mercy can be quite different."

Batman fell into silence, his thoughts heavy. Superman's eyes met his, conveying a sense of understanding and an unspoken "I told you so."

Ned, unaware of the complex dynamic between the heroes, grinned and said, "But that's just my opinion. There's all sorts of online debates about this stuff..." He said, his mood suddenly turning a bit somber. "l just wish my friend Peter was here. He'd love your costumes. We usually go to Comic-Con together, but he's been busy lately..."

Batman and Superman turned to one another, wondering whether they were thinking of the same Peter. "You mean, Peter Parker?"

Far across the deepest reaches of the Universe, Thanos, the Mad Titan, finally returned to full health after the poison that almost took his life. He stood in his sanctum, the gleaming Mind Stone embedded inside the long spear in his grasp. The events of his previous encounter with Spider-Man still burned in his memory, and he was determined to exact revenge.

In the dimly lit chamber, Ebony Maw, the loyal servant of Thanos, approached his father and master. His eyes, adorned with a haunting glow, reflected the intense light emanating from the Mind Stone.

"My Lord, you are fully healed and more powerful than ever," Maw acknowledged with a low, subservient tone. "How may I serve you?"

Thanos turned to his trusted servant, the corners of his lips curling into a sinister smile. "It is time."

Ebony Maw inclined his head, understanding the gravity of the situation. "What are your orders, my Lord?"

Thanos raised his spear, the Mind Stone pulsating ominously. "Prepare what remains of the Black Order and our armies. It is time to depart for Earth. We must retrieve the planets Infinity Stones and ensure that Spider-Man pays for what he's done."

The dark promise of revenge hung heavy in the air as Thanos and Ebony Maw prepared to embark on a journey to Earth, where the destiny of the universe would be decided. The Mad Titan's unquenchable thirst for vengeance would be sated, one way or another...
