Gwen: Miles!
Miles! There are dimensions that don’t have spiderpeople!!

Miles: Wait what??

Gwen: Yeah! Apparently Miguel never had reason to go that far, but there are like, millions

Miles: How’d you even find this?

Gwen: Apparently Hobie added an extra zero to your dimension id when trying to add your contact :|

Miles: lmao
How’d that go for them?

Gwen: Well, they still have superheroes, sounds like
Wait they are a superhero, what the heck

Milo: Ok i need to see this

[Hobie created a group with Gwen, Miles, and Bug Girl]

Miles: Um hi?

Bug Girl: Hi, I guess
I really don’t know how you guys got this number
Who are you people?

Gwen: We’re a group of interdimensional superhero friends, I’m Gwen, she/her

Miles: Miles, he/him

Bug Girl: Ladybug, she/her

Miles: Wait if we’re doing aliases can we start over?
I’m Spiderman

Gwen: Spiderwoman

Hobie: Spiderpunk

Bug Girl: “Ah yes, the three genders” - my partner

Hobie: real

Gwen: partner as in vigilante buddy or SO

Bug Girl: … no comment
But he wants in

Miles: You’re accepting the whole “superheroes from another dimension” thing surprisingly easily

Bug Girl: This isn’t even that crazy for me tbh
Plus I’m pretty sure this device doesn’t even have a phone number

Gwen: ???
What is it then

Bug Girl: Part of my suit, it’s mostly a yoyo but it can be whatever I want it to be, and having a phone for super-business is nice

Miles: That sounds very confusing but extremely useful and I wish I thought of that

Gwen: Same

Bug Girl: I mean, it was mostly the magic tbh

Hobie: What magic?

Bug Girl: It’s a long story and I actually have to go
But you guys are super interesting, would I be able to plug these numbers into my normal phone?

Hobie: No clue, what’s the worst that can happen

Bug Girl: That’s not very reassuring
Welp I’ll see you in a few minutes if it works

[Marinette created a group with Man, Woman, Punk, and Adrien]

Marinette: Testing?

Man: Hey! Is this Ladybug?

Marinette: oh my god, no
(I thought y’all were superheroes, ever heard of secret identities??)

Man: Sorry

Woman: You didn’t really give us anything else to call you, to be fair

Marinette: … Ok, understandable

Punk: Who’s the new kid?

Adrien: Her partner in crime and also life :3
Adrien, he/she/they

Marinette: Adrien!!

Adrien: What?
They gave you their names
Also for legal reasons we do crime-fighting not crime, but that’s less fun to say

Marinette: I’m going to end you

Adrien: Probably <3

Man: This is adorable

Punk: Pav would ship it

Woman: Pav ships everyone

Marinette: We’re together??

Punk: Good for you, mate
Anyway, you can call me Hobie and I don’t “have” pronouns because gender is societal fabrication to keep people complacent in roles their cultures deem appropriate, but you can use he/they for me

Adrien: So true

Chapter Text

Adrien: So I’m feeling a bit left out as the only non bug-themed superhero…
I mean, you guys are spiders, apparently
And Mari’s a ladybug
I guess I’m just wondering about any fellow catgirlboys out there

Miles: Mari?

Marinette: CHAT WHAT THE HECK

Adrien: … whoops?
I mean, I don’t think we really gotta worry about it

Gwen: Chat??

Adrien: Chat Noir – Paris’s second favorite superhero – at your service

Marinette: I guarantee you she did a lil bow when typing that

Adrien: Why’d you have to do me like that :(

Hobie: You guys are French?

Marinette: Yep, wbu

Gwen: Miles and I are American (New York), Hobie’s British

Hobie: Regretfully

Adrien: I have family in Britain! Maybe we could meet up sometime

Miles: Umm… different dimensions, Adrien

Adrien: Oh yeah
Wait, how do you guys know each other then?

Gwen: Kind of a long story

Hobie: Anyway, I found a catgirl vigilante for you, Adrien

Adrien: Really?

Gwen: How’d you manage that?

Hobie: Got a program identifying universes with high quantities of interdimensional magic going on
Found one that’s absolutely wild
And they have some sort of supergroup

[Hobie added ???? to the group]

Adrien: Hi! Heard through the interdimensional grapevine that you’re a fellow badass catgirl??

????: um… yeah?
What is happening

Gwen: Welcome to this random amalgamation of superheroes from across the multiverse, you can call me Gwen

????: Sora, she/they
I am so confused right now

Marinette: About the existence of the multiverse?

Sora: I guess? All the known realms merged years ago

Miles: Huh?

Sora: And I’m not really a superhero
I am so unqualified for this conversation

Hobie: You lost me just a touch there

Adrien: Sora?
Where’d they go?

Sora: Hey, who are you guys? - Lloyd

Hobie: Scroll up, chief

Miles: We really should make an intros channel

Gwen: This isn’t Discord, Miles

Miles: Why not?

Sora: You’re claiming to be a group of interdimensional superheroes but all the realms merged with Ninjago almost six years ago
There’s no “multiverse” anymore

Hobie: I don’t know what you mean by realms mate, but I can confirm that the multiverse is still going strong

Miles: In spite of *gestures vaguely* everything

Marinette: Did you just type “*gestures vaguely*”?

Adrien: I feel like we should be more concerned about what he’s referring to

Gwen: It’s been dealt with, don’t worry about it

Marinette: I feel like worrying about it, actually

Miles: Anyway, we should use a functional application so we don’t have to reexplain everything every time a new person joins

Hobie: Already on it, little man

*One magically interdimensional discord group later*

Spider-Gwen: Remember to invite Pav this time

f*ck the establishment: Already did

The Best Spiderman: I’m here, don’t worry

Miles: Hey!

The Best Spiderman: Oh look who has a boring name

Kilometers: Better?

Spider-Gwen: No

Tired and Concerned: I’m also here

Marinette: Lloyd, I take it?

Catboy: Me too
M’lady, you’re ruining the vibe

Non-Spider Arthropod: Just for you

f*ck the establishment: Everyone do intros
Or don’t, I can’t make you

Kilometers: Miles aka Spiderman, he/him, 16, from Brooklyn, Earth-1610

Spider-Gwen: Gwen aka Spiderwoman, she/her, 17, NYC, Earth-65

Non-Spider Arthropod: Marinette/Ladybug, 14, she/her. I’m from Paris but I don’t know how you get an earth #

Spider-Gwen: You and Adrien are 16100, I think

Catboy: Adrien or Chat Noir, he/she/they pronouns, 14 years old, Paris-16100 apparently

f*ck the establishment: Hobie also known as Spiderpunk, he/they, 23, London, Earth-138

The Best Spiderman: Pavitr Prabhakar, one and only Spiderman in the best city in the world Mumbattan, India. He/him, 19, Earth-50101

Tired and Concerned: You guys are serious?
Alright, sure, why not?
Lloyd Garmadon, I’m the green ninja but people don’t usually call me that? He/they, I’m about 26-ish, and am from Ninjago

Catboy: You don’t have a secret identity?

Kilometers: About?

Non-Spider Arthropod: Ninjago?

Tired and Concerned: Gosh, ok
I was magically aged up from eight to fifteen or so, so thinking too hard about how old I am gets tricky
None of the ninja’s identities are secret
And I didn’t recognize any of you guys’ places

Non-Spider Arthropod: Wait, so are you mentally 19?

Tired and Concerned: No? Idrk tbh but I definitely matured a lot at once when it happened

The Best Spiderman: That sounds really traumatic, dude

Tired and Concerned: I mean… Yeah? I worked through it a long time ago tho lol

Kilometers: Don’t know if you using abbreviations means you’re lying or relaxing

Tired and Concerned: Y’all are just a bunch of kids, I can be chill

Catboy: Does that mean you’re gonna let Sora back in?

Tired and Concerned: Oh wait yeah
Can I add my other student too?

Spider-Gwen: You’re a teacher?

Catgirl: More of a master, really

Catboy: Hey!!
We match :3

Tired and Concerned: Wait am I the only one not associated with an animal?

Ninja-in-training: Aren’t you part dragon?

Tired and Concerned: Yeah? Does that count?

Kilometers: Um, I’d say so

The Best Spiderman: You have dragons??

Catboy: You don’t? /hj

Non-Spider Arthropod: I feel like we glossed past Lloyd having not heard of Paris way too fast

Spider-Gwen: Or New York??

Tired and Concerned: Wait, y’all know each others’ cities?

Catboy: I don’t think I’ve heard of Mumbattan but we definitely have India
All the others, yeah

Ninja-in-training: Weird…

The Best Spiderman: New guy!! You and Catgirl need to do introductions!

Ninja-in-training: Oh, sorry! I’m Arin, he/him, 15, from Ninjago

Catgirl: Sora, she/they, also 15, I’m not “from” Ninjago but it’s where I live now

Kilometers: Is Ninjago a city or a country?

Tired: Yes

Non-Spider Arthropod: ???
Also when did you change your name

Tired: Just now, get with the times

Spider-Gwen: Yeah ok, sure

Chapter Text

The Best Spiderman: So are we just not gonna question Lloyd being part dragon?

Kilometers: Oh thank god, I didn’t know how to ask

non-spider arthropod: I mean, I wasn’t going to

Catgirl: Wait, are you guys all human?
‘Cause if you’re gonna be weird, I’m out

f*ck the government: Spider’s in the name, chief

Catboy: Whether or not I qualify as human is a question asked by scientists all around the globe :3

Kilometers: I-...

non-spider arthropod: They’re kidding! Well, her status as human is kinda in an eternal limbo but the scientific community gets no say in the matter
Anyone who questions my kitty’s personhood dies on sight

Catgirl: Noted

Ninja-in-training: so is he part cat?

Catboy: No, actually! I’m almost entirely human except for the fact that I was created from my parent’s love for each other

The Best Spiderman: …
Who’s gonna tell them?

Catboy: Oh god no, not the typical way, there was a magical peacock pendant involved

non-spider arthropod: You’re explaining this in the worst way possible, sunshine
Me and Adrien get our powers from these ancient magical gems called miraculous, each of which is related to a specific animal (ie ladybug or black cat) and embodies a specific concept (ie creation or destruction). The miraculous of the peacock has the power to create a being from the basis of human emotion. Adrien’s one of such beings.

Catboy: What she said

Kilometers: I guess that makes sense

Tired: I get it
No less complicated than whatever my family’s got going on

Spider-Gwen: What exactly is your story, if you don’t mind me asking?

[Tired changed their name to Lloyd]

Lloyd: Sorry y’all, got bored
Anyway, so my grandpa was half oni and half dragon but he died long before I was born and I know literally nothing about him. He created ninjago and I never got anything out of my dad or uncle if they had a mom so I don’t know if they’re part human or just the same species combo as gramps. Anyway, my mom is human so I’m at least half human and probably a quarter each of dragon and oni.

Catboy: Cool
…
What’s an oni?

Ninja-in-training: Oh, I know!! They’re shapeshifting beings of pure destruction originating from the First Realm!

Kilometers: You know what, I think that’s enough qna for me

The Best Spiderman: Well the squad and I all have a fairly significant amount of spider dna, is anyone here entirely human?

Catgirl: Nah, I’m human-adjacent, I think, but that’s not what we were called in my home realm. Most of the differences are fairly superficial tho

Ninja-in-training: Their hair is naturally pink!!! And her skin is more durable or something like that
Anyway, I’m human, is it just me?

non-spider arthropod: Me too, token human pals :))

f*ck the government: If we wanna keep humans a minority there are a surprising amount of dimensions without us/them

Ninja-in-training: like aliens?

Catgirl: Arin ._.

f*ck the government: more like sentient animals

Kilometers: like Ham?

Spider-Gwen: Probably

Non-spider arthropod: Ham?

The Best Spiderman: Spider-Ham, he’s a pig

Spider-Gwen: Actually he was originally a spider, he got bitten by a radioactive pig

Catgirl: 0_0

Lloyd: Sure, why not?

Non-spider arthropod: I wanna meet some talking animals

Catboy: Mari, I think kwamis probably count
Nvm Plagg just glared at my like I insulted his cheese

Non-spider arthropod: Yeah, Tikki was a bit more polite but they’re more god than animal

[f*ck the government added ????, ?????, and ?????]

Spider-Gwen: Thank goodness, questions to ask other than “what?”
Sup I’m Gwen, she/her. Welcome to this interdimensional group chat, check the intros channel pls

????: I have about 84 questions

?????: Hey, I’m Dewey, he/him, 12, no idea what my earth # is but hyped to be here :D

?????: Yeah, ok, sure. Louie, he/they, 12 (my brothers and I are triplets)

????: Don’t just give out personal information!!

Dewey: Hue, don’t overthink it. If you get a magic text message that isn’t immediately cursing our bloodline, I think it’s cool

????: I hate everything about this, I’m getting Uncle Scrooge

????: What’s all this blasted bodacious buffoonery?

The Best Spiderman: An interdimensional group chat reaching out to worlds with the highest quantities of multiversal chaos for friendship purposes

????: Well, it’s definitely not originating from anywhere on this plane so sounds fair enough
Have fun and don’t sell your souls, kids!
How on earth was Scrooge just okay with that?!
Oh whatever, I’m Huey, he/him

Catboy: Cool, me and Mar aren’t the youngest anymore!!

Chapter Text

Lloyd: Don’t know how I feel about having actual children here

Louie: Hey!

Lloyd: Nothing personal kid, it’s just basic internet safety

Dewey: Kindly, we’re not scared of you
We deal with worse than interdimensional teenagers on a daily basis

Louie: Besides, Scrooge confirmed you guys are legit and wasn’t worried so you guys got the all clear

Spider-Gwen: Is your uncle your guardian?

Huey: Yes but not that one, Scrooge has authority on all magic and/or adventure related matters, though

Catboy: So what’s your story? Gotta be pretty interesting if you have a designated relative in charge of magic stuff

Dewey: Uncle Scrooge is the richest duck in the world and made his fortune adventuring, he knows a lot and we got into the family business a couple years back :]

Kilometers: I entirely forgot that the whole reason we added you guys was because you’re animals, oh my gosh

Non-spider arthropod: Same honestly

Huey: We’re not animals??
We’re ducks

f*ck the government: When dealing with the multiverse there’s a lot you just gotta smile and nod at

*f*ck the government changed their name to Punk*

Punk: I just can’t

The Best Spiderman: Hobie has a soft spot for kids :))

Punk: I will beat your ass

Spider-Gwen: I thought you were trying not to swear in front of the kids?

Punk: Pav asked for it

Non-spider arthropod: Anyway
Do you have humans in your dimension Huey?

Huey: They’re not in the JWG so nope

Ninja-in-training: JWG?

Huey: Junior Woodchuck Guidebook

Louie: Please don’t get him started

Spider-Gwen: You know what? I’d rather not give the kids an existential crisis

Dewey: Try me

Kilometers: … What?

Dewey: Our mom was presumed dead for the first ten years of our lives before we found out that she was stranded on the moon the whole time
Also I discovered Atlantis
And met Zeus
Try me

Huey: /gen
He’s not being aggressive he’s just genuinely curious and so am I

Louie: Sure, I guess
But he did none of the work for atlantis, I’ll have you know

Dewey: Shhhh

The Best Spiderman: Right, so our dimensions have ducks but they aren’t sentient

Kilometers: Like they can’t talk and stuff

Catboy: Y’all are obviously people though so please don’t think otherwise

Louie: Huh, ok

Catgirl: Ok??

Huey: I mean, whatever species you guys are just doesn’t exist in our world. It’s weird, don’t get me wrong, but there are some pretty glaring differences right off the bat

Ninja-in-training: So wait, do you guys have animals? That don’t talk and such?
‘Cause you said you weren’t animals so that means you know what they are, right?

Huey: Yeah, we got birds and dogs and fish and stuff

Catboy: Oh that’s interesting, in our world ducks are classified as birds but they’re separate for you?

Dewey: Yerp

Spider-Gwen: Is your society just ducks?

Huey: No, Duckberg is probably two-thirds ducks but worldwide there are a bunch of different species

Catboy: So wait, is species in their world like race in ours?

Lloyd: Race?

Non-spider arthropod: Like different skin tone and stuff?

Lloyd: I mean, I guess we have that

Kilometers: OH MY GOD DO YOU NOT HAVE RACISM?!?!?!??!

Chapter Text

Catgirl: What’s racism?

The Best Spiderman: The author is white and not qualified to discuss the intricacies of prejudice, but people suck sometimes and will find any reason to hate each other

Ninja-in-training: Ah…
Like homophobia?

Catboy: Yeah, like homophobia

Non-spider arthropod: Chaton, I love you endlessly but you are rich, white, and masc-presenting amab, please shut up

Catboy: Noted <3

Kilometers: *writing notes* ninjago has homophobia, adrien is white

Spider-Gwen: And rich, apparently

Punk: Eat the rich
You have thirty seconds to plead your case

Kilometers: /j

Catboy: Trans superhero

Punk: …
Fair enough

Spider-Gwen: Vouch

Lloyd: ^

Catgirl: Wait, Lloyd, are you trans????

Lloyd: … Yes?? This is public knowledge???

Ninja-in-training: tbf I don’t think she even realized you used he/they before this chat

Lloyd: Sora…. /nm

Catgirl: ;-;

Lloyd: Sora, we’ve lived under the same roof for months now
I am trans of gender and aro of ace
Overwhelmingly so

Catgirl: ._.
I feel just a little stupid

Spider-Gwen: Pav didn’t realize I was trans until I specifically spelt it out for him

Non-spider arthropod: Adrien didn’t realize she was trans until I spelt it out for them, either

Huey: Wait, what?

Catboy: I was very sheltered

Non-spider arthropod: And stupid

Catboy: and stupid

Louie: Imagine not knowing you were trans from age six, couldn’t be me

Dewey: They’re just built different

Kilometers: That’s iconic, actually

Spider-Gwen: Are you implying Chat and I aren’t iconic??????

Kilometers: Gwen, I adore you and respect you endlessly and would follow you to the ends of the earth(s), you’re an absolute icon.
Adrien not realizing he was trans until her girlfriend told him is freaking hilarious

Catboy: I exist for comedic relief, what can I say?

Non-spider arthropod: Never change

*The Best Spiderman changed Kilometer’s name to Simp*

Simp: Pavitr.

The Best Spiderman: Miles.

Dewey: Dewey
…
No?
I’ll go

*Simp changed The Best Spiderman’s name to Spiderman*
*Simp changed their name to Better Spiderman*
*Spider-Gwen changed Better Spiderman’s name to Spiderman 2*

Spiderman 2: Hey!

Spider-Gwen: Aren’t you literally called that in your own universe?

Spiderman 2: I mean, sometimes??
It’s so boring tho

Spider-Gwen: How about this

*Spider-Gwen changed Spiderman 2’s name to Brooklyn*
*Spider-Gwen changed their name to Chelsea*

Brooklyn: We match!!!

Chelsea: We do :)

Lloyd: What does that mean?
The names

Brooklyn: It’s where we’re from

Ninja-in-training: Wait, I thought you guys were both from New York?

Chelsea: They’re in ny

Lloyd: That seems redundant

Catgirl: Yeah, ok, mr Ninjago City, Ninjago, Ninjago
You have no room to talk

Ninja-in-training: Wait!! I’ve always wondered: if your name is Lloyd Garmadon, does that mean your dad’s name is Garmadon Garmadon?

Lloyd: Okay, let’s stop talking now

Chapter Text

Dewey: So I probably should have asked this earlier, but what does “aro of ace” mean?

Lloyd: I’m aroace, aromantic and asexual
It means I’m not attracted to anyone in those ways

Dewey: oh

Huey: Oh

Louie: OH

Lloyd: FSM I may have broken the triplets
You’re still children!! You don’t have to know anything yet!!!!!
I mean, you definitely can if you want, but don’t feel like you have to label yourselves, just-
Augh, someone help

Chelsea: Just give yourself permission to take your time and figure things out and surround yourself with people who support you, you’re not alone

Catboy: What she said, romance is crazy confusing. Nothing is ever simple about figuring yourself out and that’s okay - a grayro bi person in a committed romantic relationship with a bi ace badass (neither of us had such labels when we started dating)

Punk: Labels are fake, anyway. They exist to serve you, the second they become more stress than help, walk away. Your identity is for you and you alone, society gets no fucking say in who you are or how you live.

Ninja-in-training: Based
Am I gay? Am I bi? Am I aspec? All great mysteries of our time, never to be solved.
The only person your identity concerns is you and any hypothetical partners you may or may not have. It doesn’t have to be a big deal unless you want it to be.

Dewey: Cool cool cool cool cool
Thanks for the kind words guys, will definitely be coming back to this topic at some point lol

Louie: Dew, that is the least reassuring way you could have possibly phrased that
We’re fine btw, just talking about stuff
Thanks for idk… sharing ig?? It helps

Chelsea: Of course, we’re always here for you guys
And it sounds like we’re all fairly acquainted with the whole questioning song and dance

Catgirl: Definitely, nonbinary lesbian here <3

Brooklyn: I’m bi

Spiderman: ^
Ok, I actually hate that

*Spiderman changed their name to Pav*

Pav: Felt so impersonal
But yeah, we gotcha, little fellas :))

Chelsea: Wait, is anyone here straight?

Lloyd: Personally, I remain unconvinced straight people are real /hj

Catboy: Wait, if we’re wanting to get some heterosexual rep, M’lady and I’s team has a couple cishets
Non-spider arthropod: Uh…. Who?

Catboy: Alya

Non-spider arthropod: She’s pan, sunshine

Catboy: Zoe?

Non-spider arthropod: sapphic

Catboy: Luka?

Non-spider arthropod: also pan

Catboy: Kim?

Non-spider arthropod: not sure actually, but he and Max definitely got something going on

Catboy: Kagami?

Non-spider arthropod: Love, you dated her and you don’t know she’s arospec?? It’s painfully obvious

Catboy: Wait but I didn’t like her like that either

Non-spider arthropod: I KNOW

Catboy: …
Welp, breaking news: I don’t know a single straight person

Lloyd: Me either tbh

Ninja-in-training: What about Master Wu??

Lloyd: Oh yeah
Nevermind

Chapter Text

Brooklyn: Backing up a bit, Adrien and Marinette have a team?

Catboy: Yep

Lloyd: Me too

Dewey: Maybe the real team is the family we reconnected with along the way

Huey: Dewey, I love you, but please just shut up

Dewey: Duly noted

Lloyd: I’m bored of my name but I don’t have any ideas rip

*Lloyd changed their name to Green*

Green: Good enough

Louie: Hey, I’m green, too!
Stop stealing all my things, Lloyd, come on

Lloyd: You’re green?

Louie: I mean, I’m not green but you won’t catch me wearing any other color

Lloyd: Oh cool, same here but I was kinda assigned green via prophecy
Is it just your favorite or…?

Louie: I mean, it is my favorite but me and my brothers only wore one color each our entire childhood because color coded blankets were the only thing we had to remember our mom by

Dewey: She’s okay now though!!

Chelsea: God, there’s not a good way to respond to that, is there?

Dewey: Nerp

Catboy: Wait, mine and Mari’s team is kinda color coded too, we could totally have a whole rainbow

Non-spider arthropod: between us, the ducks, and the ninja, color coordinated channels would be pretty cool
If Gwen and Hobie are open to it, of course

Punk: I don’t believe in authority, add any and all superhero friends you like, I’ll make an intro channel and go from there

[Non-spider arthropod added 6 people]
[Huey added 1 person]
[Green added 6 people]

- INTROS -

Spider-Gwen: name, pronouns, age, world, and signature colors pls

????: Oh my gosh, this is so exciting! I’m Alya, she/her, 14, my color is orange, and I’m from earth-16100

????: How did you get an earth #?

Alya: I have my ways ;)

Non-spider arthropod: She asked me

????: Oh ok, cool. Nino, he/him, 14, green, 16100, and dating Alya <3

Alya: <3

Catboy: maybe don’t spam intros, guys

Nino: whoops, sorry dude

???: So this is the chat, huh? Kai, he/she, 28, red ninja

?????: Hi!!!! I’m Webby, she/her, 12, I’m from Duckberg and my favorite color is pink!!

????: Luka, he/they, 15, earth-16100, and teal/blue

???: I’m Zoe, she/her, 13, earth-16100 apparently, and yellow :)

???: Jay, he/him, 27, ninjago, blue, in a qpr with Cole and Nya

????: Cole, he/him, 28, black ninja, and me and Nya aren’t a thing btw

Kai: We are tho

Cole: Yep

???: Nya, she/her, 26, ninjago, and gray
Jay and I are married and Kai’s my brother

?????: Felix, he/him, 14, earth-16100, and purple, I suppose

????: My name is Zane, he/they/she pronouns, I am the white ninja, and I do not age

Brooklyn: What does that mean?

Zane: I am a nindroid, I was modeled after a young adult but have been around for just over a century.

Dewey: Like a robot?!???

Zane: loosely, yes

??????: Moving along, I am Kagami, she/her, 14, earth-16100, red

?????: My name is Pixal, I use she/they pronouns, I am also a nindroid, and my color would probably be purple

Dewey: Sweet!! Robots are so cool

Louie: Dude that may be insensitive

Dewey: Oh crap, sorry!

Pixal: It’s quite alright, I’m not particularly bothered by other terminology but I prefer to be called a nindroid, a term coined after Zane discovered the nature of their creation.

Jay: I made it!!

Non-spider arthropod: Oh crap, that must have been a tough realization, I’m sorry.

Zane: I appreciate the sympathy, but it’s quite alright. It was a shocking revelation, but it made a lot of sense looking back and my friends were a great help.

Catboy: I get that. It’s not the same by any means, but finding out I was designed and created in a very meticulous and unnatural way messed me up a lot. It’s only because of Marinette and our other friends’ support that I was able to work through it.

Zane: That does sound like a quite similar experience. Having people that believe in you and love you even when you don’t know who or what you are makes all the difference in the world.

Catboy: Truly <333

The Best Spiderman: That is so wholesome and also queercoded

Chelsea: Way to ruin the moment Pav

Spider-Gwen: Just finished creating the color channels, go crazy :))

[Three members have come online]

Alya: Oh hey Zoe

Zoe: Hey Alya :)

*Ninja-in-training changed their name to Arin*

Arin: Hi, nice to meet you both

Zoe: You too! Where are you from?

Arin: Ninjago

Alya: Is that a world or a city?

Arin: Yes

- RED -
[five members have come online]

Pav: Hi everyone :D

Kagami: Hello

Huey: Hey

Kai: Sup, what’s everyone’s story?

Pav: I’m Spiderman :)

Kagami: That means very little to me

Kai: Same

Pav: I was bit by a radioactive spider that gave me superpowers so now I fight crime and protect Mumbattan, the best city ever

Kai: Fair enough
I’m the elemental master of fire, me and the rest of the ninja try to keep the world from ending, it’s a full-time gig

Kagami: Ah, I’m a member of the miraculous team, we stop bad guys and help people

Huey: Miraculous?

Kagami: They’re magical jewels that grant their users a power. My miraculous is that of the dragon, it gives me the power to transform into wind, water, or lightning

Kai: My sister turned into the ocean once
It was really bad actually
She was gone for an entire year
We had a funeral and everything
It messed us all up ngl

Pav: That’s rough, buddy

- GREEN -

Louie: We meet again, Lloyd

Lloyd: Yes?

Louie: Ah, nothing, I was just trying to be dramatic

Nino: Hi?

Louie: Hey

Lloyd: Hello
You’re one of the miraculous crew, right?

Nino: Yep, miraculous of the turtle, what about you guys?

Lloyd: I’m the green ninja
That… probably doesn’t mean anything to you
Basically I was destined to defeat the dark lord
But said dark lord was my dad
We worked through it, kind of

Louie: Oh boy, and I thought my family was complicated

Lloyd: Both of our families are wild, just in very different ways

Louie: I mean, yeah

Nino: What’s up with Louie’s family?

Louie: My brothers and I were raised by our uncle because our mom was presumed dead the first ten years of our lives but she was actually stranded on the moon the whole time
Also our great uncle is the richest duck alive and also messes with a lot of magic stuff and I’m pretty sure he’s immortal but idk, ask Huey

Nino: Duck?

Lloyd: Don’t-
Actually, if that’s your only question, that’s pretty impressive

Nino: I mean, my family’s pretty standard but my best friend is an artificially created being and his dad was an international terrorist

Lloyd: Oh wow

Louie: International?

Lloyd: That’s the part that got your attention???

- GRAYSCALE -

Catboy: So this is where the party's at

Chelsea: Yeah, I think we’re the biggest group

Zane: Cool

Nya: Oh First Master…

Brooklyn: Huh?

Nya: Oh, Zane’s the elemental master of ice

Catboy: Neat

Brooklyn: What does “First Master” mean, though?

Cole: like First Spinjitzu Master

Chelsea: Never heard of it, sorry

Catboy: Me neither

Nya: What the underworld??

Brooklyn: ????

Chapter Text

- PINK/PURPLE -

Webby: Hi I’m Webby!!!

Catgirl: Hello

Non-spider arthropod: Hey

Felix: Marinette.

Non-spider arthropod: Felix.

Catgirl: ???

Non-spider arthropod: Nothing, just acknowledging each other

Pixal: Isn’t Felix a member of your team? I would think the two of you would be friends.

Felix: Allies, perhaps..

Non-spider arthropod: I will call your girlfriend

Felix: You wouldn’t

Non-spider arthropod: I would, actually

Catgirl: Well as fun as this rivalry seems, I don’t know most of you
I’m the elemental master of technology!!

Felix: That’s a thing?

Pixal: Yes, to my immense discomfort.

Catgirl: I said I was sorry :(

Pixal: And I have forgiven you, but the likelihood of it happening again is not something I look forward to.

Webby: What happened?

Pixal: Sora accidentally tossed me across the room once, I had to replace a back panel

Non-spider arthropod: I totally forgot you’re also a nindroid, I was so confused for a second there

Felix: Omg inorganic life form besties <333

Non-spider arthropod: Okay, who possessed Felix?

Felix: Yours truly, Milady :3
Holy shit, Adrien stole my phone, what the hell

Non-spider arthropod: That makes a lot more sense

Webby: I am very confused

Catgirl: Same tbh

- BLUE -

Dewey: Hey hi
So what’s everyone’s favorite color??

Luka: ._.

Jay: Blue

Punk: Color is arbitrary
My favorite shirt is blue like 60% of the time tho

Luka: What does that mean?

Jay: Every item of clothing I own is at least partially blue

Dewey: You guys have more than one item of clothing???

Luka: I only really wear the same outfit every day tbh

Jay: Same but I have other clothes

Luka: I’d like to revisit Punk’s shirt changing color, actually

*Punk changed their name to Hobie*

Hobie: Yeah, don’t call me that, actually
But color is fluid in my dimension
It’s one of those things that’s really hard for people who don’t have it to wrap their head around tho so don’t worry about it

Dewey: You don’t even want to know how many rifts in reality I’ve seen
It’s at least one, I’ll tell you that much

Jay: Same, I’ve kinda given up trying to keep count myself

Hobie: I regularly travel between dimensions myself but knowing that’s not what you guys are talking about is kinda concerning, honestly

Luka: Well I’ve only personally witnessed one tear in the fabric of spacetime
Unless you count time travel
Then we’re in the tens of thousands

Jay: That’s… a lot of time travel…
And I’m saying that as someone who has time traveled on like, two and a half different occasions
You good?

Luka: Oh yeah, it’s part of the job
Time loops are my thing

Dewey: Hey Jay, what’s the “and a half”??

Jay: Ah, I don’t think it counts as time travel per se but this one time me and my friends got magically de-aged by like a decade and a dinosaur was resurrected, so I feel like that kinda belongs under that same umbrella

Hobie: Fair enough, I guess

Chapter Text

- GENERAL -

Chelsea: We can still use this channel too, just so you guys know

Catboy: Cool, cool
So what’s the most wild difference between dimensions you guys have found so far??

Huey: It’s more coincidences so far, actually

Nino: Yeah, evil fathers seem to be pretty common

Webby: My girlfriend’s aunt is evil!!
Well, she calls her her aunt but she’s kinda her mom???

Dewey: I don’t think they need the technicalities, Webs

Brooklyn: I’m kinda curious actually

Webby: Can I add her? She’d want to be the one to tell it

Louie: What color would she be?

Webby: Her magic is blue

Hobie: Go for it

*Webby added ???? and ??????*

????: Hey, Lena, she/her, Webby’s gf

??????: Hello, I’m Violet, Lena’s sister, she/they

Lloyd: Nice to meet you both, colors?

Violet: My favorite is green

Lena: Probably black or blue

Jay: Can we have her? We don’t have any fem people atm

Nya: Ignore my husband, he has a way with wording things in incredibly awkward ways

Kagami: Husband?

Nya: Yes?
Do you not have marriage in your universe?

Non-spider arthropod: We definitely do

Kagami: Apologies, I was just surprised. How old are you?

Nya: 26?
It’s in my intro

Kagami: Apologies, I forgot. I have a tendency to assume everyone is the same age as me until proven otherwise and got caught quite off guard.

Pav: No worries

Brooklyn: So… about evil family members?

Lena: Oh yeah, so my aunt Magica is a dark sorceress who created me from the magic of her own shadow

Catboy: Ayo more artificial lifeforms!! We should make a channel for that

Hobie: Ok so I’m gonna give Mari and Lloyd admin to make things easier, any other de facto leaders I’m missing?

Alya: What about the ducks?

Huey: We’re fine

Dewey: It would probably just start a fight lol

Non-spider arthropod: Well I made the chat, let me know if I missed anyone :)

- SPAWN OF SCIENCE AND/OR MAGIC -

Catboy: Hey hey hi

Felix: Hello cousin

Kagami: Adrien

Lena: That sounds so menacing lol

Kagami: /pos? Is that right?

Catboy: It is :D

Pixal: Apologies if this has already been explained, but due to the nature of this chat I am quite curious about your stories.

Zane: Lena just explained hers so she doesn’t have to, Pixal and I are nindroids (robots may be a more familiar term)

Felix: Ah ok, cool

Kagami: My boyfriend, my ex, and I are all sentibeings created by the magic of the peacock miraculous.

Lena: Wait, you’re dating your ex’s cousin?? Isn’t that kinda weird

Catboy: It gets weirder considering we look almost perfectly identical

Felix: You’re not helping

Catboy: I’m not trying to :3
But tbf Kagami and I are just not very compatible at all, she needed decisiveness and I needed freedom

Kagami: And we were both repressed arospecs who were only ever interested in each other as friends to begin with.

Felix: And Adrien was crazy in love with Marinette, even back then

Kagami: Felix, you’re talking about less than a year ago

Felix: And?

Chapter Text

Sora: Heartbroken that a twelve year old has more game than me ngl

Kai: Aren’t you like 13?

Arin: We’re 15 ._.

Kai: My bad
To be fair, I’m still lost on how old Lloyd is tbh

Nya: How? He’s literally the same age as me

Kai: … and that is?

Jay: … dude

Cole: Babe you literally raised her lmao

Pav: I thought Kai and Nya were siblings

Nya: We are

Kai: Absent parents :)

Pav: Oh, sorry
Mine are just dead lol

Brooklyn: Wait really? Shit, man
I didn’t know

Sora: I mean, who among us has two alive and well parents? That are/were actually around for their childhood
And not evil

Non-spider arthropod: Me?

Catboy: Can vouch, her parents are amazing

Jay: My adoptive parents are good
Didn’t know I was adopted until my birth father died when I was 17 tho, so I feel like that’s partial credit?

Violet: I am also adopted
I don’t know anything about my birth parents, though, and I have no desire to. My dads are great and the Ducks have also unofficially taken Lena and I as part of the family.

Alya: Wait, I thought all your world’s people were ducks??

Violet: I am a hummingbird

Louie: Our last name is “Duck”

Zoe: Really?
Is it a common last name?

Huey: Not particularly

Zoe: Anyway, back to the parent thing – my dad and I have a pretty good relationship, but I’m currently living with my half-sister’s dad, our mom is an awful person and doesn’t bother to remember either of our names

Luka: When we eat the rich, Audrey Bourgeois is second in line

Catboy: After my dad?

Luka: After your dad
Anyway, I didn’t know my dad growing up, I only found out my birth father was my favorite musician a little over a year ago. He’s been putting in an effort and we get along well, he and his fiance are great and I love my mom to the ends of the earth

Jay: My birth father was my favorite actor!!!!
That’s actually wild lol

Nino: If I had a nickel for everytime someone I knew found out their birth father was their favorite celebrity I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice
Anyway, my dad’s dead *thumbs-up emoji*

Alya: Ni-NO

Non-spider arthropod: Nino’s dad was a genuinely nice guy, he passed away when we were nine

Gwen: Sorry to hear that, man
Similar happened with my mom, I was 11

Catboy: My mom’s also dead, and you guys already know about my dad the international supervillain/terrorist

Cole: The what???

Catboy: Ah, my dad’s an international supervillain/terrorist

Cole: …

Jay: I don’t know what you were expecting, dude

Cole: … Yeah, I guess
Mom: dead, Dad: recovering homophobe

Kai: I’d argue ex-homophobe

Zane: I second that, Lou has made a noticeable effort to use all my pronouns

Jay: And he loves me

Kai: I’m clearly his favorite

Cole: His favorite is obviously Zane, you guys

Kai: … I can’t even be mad about that

Nya: Yeah yeah, everyone loves Zane
Anyway, our parents were presumed dead for the first decade and a bit of our lives lol, turned out they were kidnapped and forced to work for evil time travelers with a personal grudge against them. We took care of it and now they visit every couple months.

Dewey: Our mom was presumed dead for the first decade of our lives!!

Nino: If I had a nickel for everytime someone I knew’s parent(s) were missing and presumed dead for 10+ years I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Zoe: If I had a nickel for everytime Nino referenced Phineas and Ferb: Across the 2nd Dimension in this conversation I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Webby: I don’t have parents!! I was raised by my granny, but I’m actually an attempted clone of the triplet’s great-uncle

Non-spider arthropod: … Wanna be added to the artificial life forms channel?

Webby: Sure!!!

Pixal: Speaking of artificial life forms, I do not technically have parents either, but I consider my inventor my father. He is alive and well, but considering I came into being as an adult, I only lived with him briefly.

Zane: Same except my dad died and erased all my memories of him
I got them back, though

Nino: If I had a nickel for everytime a nindroid I knew considered their inventor their father I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Zoe: aaaaand that's thrice

Sora: My parents are alive but I ran away when I was ten
Well, kinda ran away, kinda was disowned for not being down for animal abuse
It’s not entirely their fault, though. They’re more complicit in a corrupt society than actively evil.

Catboy: Yeesh

Arin: My parents are probably dead tbh, holding out hope tho!!!

Catboy: Yeesh!!

Kagami: I never had a father, being an sentibeing created by a single mother

Felix: My dad’s just dead lol, single mom pals <3

Alya: Nino I swear to god-

Nino: If I had a nickel for everytime a senti friend of mine was fatherless I’d have two nickels, which isn’t a lot, but it’s weird that it happened twice

Lloyd: I guess my mom’s single? She abandoned me at a boarding school when I was a toddler, leading me to believe I was an orphan, but she’s actually just an anthropologist that was trying to prevent the prophecy of me having to kill my dad. Good news: we succeeded, bad news: he died anyway.

Lena: We’re a fucked up bunch, aren’t we?

Catboy: Yep

Alya: I kinda feel bad for having two healthy and supportive parents now

Miles: Same

Gwen: Miles defied the canon tho, his dad was supposed to die

Alya: Canon?

Miles: That’s a story for another day lol

Chapter Text

[Catboy changed their name to Adrien]

Miles: You good?

Adrien: Gender was getting to me ngl

Catgirl: Fair

[Catgirl changed their name to Sora]

Non-spider arthropod: I don’t want to be the only one with a weird name :/

Pav: It’s such a good one tho!!

Pixal: Any specific pronouns we should use today, Adrien?

Adrien: Nah, just no gendered language like “dude” and stuff pls

Nino: Bro…

Alya: Nino I stg

Adrien: He doesn’t count lol

Jay: Going back to what Marinette said, we do have a lot of boring names

[Jay changed his name to Superstar Rockin’ Jay]

Nya: No

Superstar Rockin’ Jay: :(

[Nya changed Superstar Rockin’ Jay’s name to Eye of the Storm]
[Nya changed their name to Heart of the Sea]

Heart of the Sea: There, now we match

Huey: Is that a minecraft reference?

Kai: Ooooo you just got got, sis

Heart of the Sea: …
Well I don’t see any better suggestions???

[Arin changed Heart of the Sea’s name to Water]
[Arin changed Cole’s name to Earth]
[Arin changed Kai’s name to Fire]
[Arin changed Eye of the Storm’s name to Air]
Adrien: Is that an Avatar reference?

Fire: I thought you were too young for that ngl

Sora: Avatar is timeless
(He made me watch it as soon as we got our first tv)

Arin: It was a crime that you hadn’t seen it before!!

Sora: I had spent the entirety of my life up to that point either under a utilitarian state or homeless
And it didn’t even exist in my home realm??

Lloyd: I got the impression Imperium was more of a bureaucratic control type dystopia than anything else

Arin: I think it’s just a good ol’ false utopia ngl

Hobie: Every utopia is false

Louie: idk man, have you been to Ithaquack?

Zoe: … Do you mean Ithaca??

Huey: Ithaquack was literally an abandoned island run by an embarrassingly pathetic god

Dewey: Zeus is not good at his job

Webby: Or being a dad

Miles: You guys met Zeus?!!?!

Louie: Oh yeah, he had some weird one-sided rivalry with our uncle

Dewey: His daughter is our mom’s best friend

Miles: … wow, cool ig

Chapter Text

[Zoe changed Webby’s name to One Duck]
[Zoe changed Louie’s name to Two Duck]
[Zoe changed Huey’s name to Red Duck]
[Zoe changed Dewey’s name to Blue Duck]

Cole: Dr Suess?? Sure lol

Two Duck: why does webby get #1 :(

Zoe: Lesbian supremacy <3

One Duck: ARE YOU A LESBIAN??????

Zoe: Yep lol

Adrien: *spiderman pointing meme*

Miles: what

Gwen: What??

Hobie: huh

Pav: 🤨

Non-spider arthropod: THAT'S why that sounded familiar omg

Fire: Wait so you guys have spiderman in your universe?

Alya: Kinda, he’s a fictional character tho
There was a bit of a superhero trend in fiction a few decades ago but the existence of actual superheroes kinda killed the genre
I’m a bit surprised Adrien’s familiar with it tbh

Adrien: I did my research
Though I will admit I entirely did not connect the dots on you guys being the same as a comic character from the 60s
Except, y’know, real

Gwen: Huh
Yeah, I’d rather not know more, actually

Pav: Speak for yourself

Adrien: I’ll dm you later

(Later)

Pav: So their spiderman is a white guy ;-;

Hobie: Lemme guess – Peter Parker?

Alya: Yep lol, you know him?

Miles: Over half of spiderpeople are Peter Parkers, we can never decide if it's weirder for us or for them

Gwen: Pretty sure it’s just weird

Sora: Fair enough

Red Duck: Life works in mysterious ways

Blue Duck: Sometimes your mom and uncle take turns being stranded on the moon and others you find out your best friend’s boyfriends are both superheroes

Lena: What now?

Blue Duck: … nothing?

Violet: Drake Mallard is Darkwing and Fenton Crackshell-Cabrera is Gizmoduck

Lena: Yeah, I knew that, but Launchpad is Dewey’s best friend???
What is Webby, chopped liver?????

Blue Duck: My favorite sister/aunt ig

One Duck: Awwwww

Two Duck: I’m telling Daisy

Blue Duck: DONT

Nino: Hold on, I have so many questions

Zane: As do I

Red Duck: Webby is an attempted clone (and thus biological daughter) of our great-uncle

Lloyd: Ok, the Ducks’ family tree is the weirdest

Adrien: Yeah, I think they’ve earned it

Gwen: Ok but you have superhero friends that aren’t already in here? How is this chat not maxed out???

Non-spider arthropod: I don’t have all my team in here either

Hobie: Just throw in whoever you want, any and all certified vigilantes and/or enhanced individuals you know that aren’t bigots are welcome

Two Duck: Sweet

*Non-spider arthropod added 10 people*

*Blue Duck added 3 people*

Air: Oh yikes

Adrien: Everyone, intros, go!!!!

Chapter Text

Hobie: 20017

Fenton: Cool!

Arin: Who’s Drake?

I am the lukewarm milk in the bottom of evil’s bowl of cereal
I am…
Darkwing Duck!!!!
(Drake, he/any, 30, earth-20017)

Gwen: Colors?

Miles: Eh, feels like more of a gimmick than anything else, have those chats even been used since we made them?

Luka: Not really

Two Duck: Nah

Fire: No lol

Sora: Rip

????: Anyway! My name’s Rose!! She/her and dating Juleka :D

??????: that’s me, she/her.

Lena: Whoops
*darn

Adrien: Wait shit, I thought you used any, Marc

Marc: Eh, I don’t really mind either way but I prefer they/them

Drake: Fair enough kid
Now hold up

[Drake changed their name to DW]
[Drake changed Launchpad’s name to LP]
[Drake changed Fenton’s name to GD]

GD: I’m fairly certain no one has ever called me that

LP: I can start!!

DW: Well if you don’t want in on the couple names, be my guest
/gen

[GD changed their name to Fenton]

Fenton: Probably easy to keep it simple for now

Hobie: Oh yeah, the author appreciates it

Alix: He’s really bad at remembering to use nicknames tbh

Nath: Wait, you too?

Water: What are you guys talking about

Nath: … nothing

Felix: Very non suspicious, good job

Non-spider arthropod: You’re one to talk Mr whole-ass-moon-for-a-senti

Felix: DONT TALK ABOUT RED LIKE THAT

Adrien: Yeesh, yeah that’s never not gonna be a sensitive subject Mari

Non-spider arthropod: Crap, sorry Fe
You know I didn’t mean it like that

Blue Duck: I am so confused rn

Air: Same

Adrien: (she’s teasing him about making an unsubtle senti that he later had to kill (we’re sentis))

Miles: Oh shit

Earth: ^ What he said

Kagami: To be fair, I believe Marinette was more referring to the way Felix presented himself around that time

Zoe: If you can’t tease your reformed friends, are they even reformed??
(I’ve tried with Chloe and it did NOT go well)

Lloyd: Ayyy reformed villain gang!!!!

Felix: I would consider myself more of an antihero than an outright villain, I had good reason, just a flair for the dramatics

Lloyd: I didn’t mean to imply you didn’t kid
I mean, my “villain era” was when I was a homeless child acting out for attention/validation from my family

Lena: Oh hey, me too

Lloyd: … How old are you?

Lena: I mean, it’s kinda iffy but I’d say like 14? Why?

Lloyd: Wow, yeah, I’m adopting you

Sora: Sweet, new sister

Violet: She’s already been adopted, back off

Fire: Geez Lloyd, who taught you to run around adopting kids like this? It’s getting to be a bit much

Water: …

Earth: …

Zane: …

Air: …

Pixal: Should I also “...”?

Lloyd: Nah, I think she got the point Pix

Fire: Oh, Wu

Lloyd: You’re lucky Wyldfyre isn’t in this chat Kai…

*Alya sent an image*

Alya: Can we get a lil commotion for the dress?!??

Nath: Did Marinette make that? It’s beautiful!!

Alya: Another showstopping MDC original!!

Non-spider arthropod: Shoutout to my gorgeous models <33

Gwen: You guys look amazing

Red Duck: That’s what you guys look like??

Non-spider arthropod: If you’re weird about fat people I’ll fucking kill you

Adrien: Pretty sure he’s literally never seen a human before, cut him some slack milady

Non-spider arthropod: Whoops, sorry!! (you’re on thin ice tho)

Air: Wait are all you guys that round

Non-spider arthropod: *gunshots*

Pav: aaaaaand Jay found dead in a ditch, rip

Air: Wait what

Water: Jay shut your face

*Water sent a picture*

Miles: WAIT ARE YOU GUYS LEGOS??!?!?!?

Zane: What is a lego?

Water: Correction: what the fuck is a lego

Zoe: Isn’t the plural of lego still ‘lego’?

Miles: WE HAVE MORE PRESSING MATTERS
And also I think that’s stupid and simply disagree

Zoe: Fair

Lloyd: How is it only now that I’m realizing we don’t know what each other look like
We’ve been texting for literal months

Adrien: Quick, everyone send squad pictures!!

Hobie: Any of you lot photosensitive?

Blue Duck: Nope

Non-spider arthropod: Not that I know of

Pixal: No, but that is a rather concerning question

Max: I am, I would greatly appreciate no flashing lights

Hobie: No worries lil man, you alright with bright colors?

Max: Yeah, I can dim my screen

Pav: You can say no, dude

Max: I appreciate that, but I will be quite alright, please proceed

*Hobie sent an image*

Arin: Oh that’s not bad

Kim: bicth whatchu kbow bobut other oeoples health condibtions

Arin: Oh sorry, my bad
Sora gets dizzy with abrupt light level changes but that’s not the same, I’m sorry

Max: He is correct though, that is fairly mild

Hobie: Yeah I figured my dimension wasn’t the safest bet, this is from our last trip to Pav’s

Earth: Damn I am so polyamorous right now
You guys are so pretty /p

Fire: Cole theyre minors
Theyre minors cole

Earth: Respectfully and platonically, I will be shutting up now

Hobie: I’m literally 23

Earth: It was never not platonic my dude
Even if it wasn’t i’m still not cool with that age gap
And i’m literally demiro

Pav: I’m also an adult

Earth: Guys I was kidding ;-;

Air: But out of curiosity which ones are you guys

Water: JAY!!!

Air: I am joking
Very obviously joking
/j

Miles: Hobie has the wicks

Pav: and I’m the Indian one lmao

Sora: Well I AM a minor so I will be taking this opportunity to let Gwen know that she is very pretty /p

Gwen: <3

Kagami: What is happening?

Two Duck: idek Hue’s still reeling from seeing humans

Adrien: Oh yeah, what do you guys look like?

*Two Duck sent an image*

Felix: I don’t know what I was expecting, honestly

Nino: Should’ve expected ducks

Felix: Should’ve expected ducks

Chapter Text

Zoe: So now the question is if the ninjago gang visit a different dimension do they stay human-sized legos, become human, or become legos?

Pixal: I am still immensely confused

Miles: I think human?

Pav: Yeah, in my experience most people generally meld into the aesthetic of the dimension they’re in, there are exceptions tho

Hobie: Like me >:)

Gwen: They don’t believe in conformity

Adrien: But like… could we meet up?
Hypothetically??

Miles: I don’t see why not

Gwen: Ah yes, because nothing bad has ever come from multiversal travel

Hobie: Fisk is a fascist and a dumbass, my portals are stable and you know it

Miles: No digs at Miguel?

Hobie: He knows what he is

Adrien: So is that a no?

Water: No clue

Pav: Nah, just not sure about including the nonhuman kids, might be a bit much for them

Red Duck: If you deprive me of discovery I will never forgive you
I wanna know everything
I’m coming

Violet: What he said

Blue Duck: Also pretty sure “too much for us” doesn’t exist at this point

Two Duck: Yeah, we passed that ages ago

Miles: Fair enough, ninja?

Lloyd: Sure

Adrien: Sweet, milady??

Non-spider arthropod: We’re partners chaton, if you’re going I’m going

Air: Where are we going, actually?

Zane: That is a good question.

Gwen: I’d offer my place but our apartment is pretty small and we’ve already established my dimension can be overwhelming for newcomers

Miles: I can host, my dimension is pretty visually neutral, I think, and I know lots of good places we could hang out away from the public eye
And my New York is kinda used to multiversal rifts so if they do see anything they probably won’t think much of it

Lloyd: Sounds good to me

Red Duck: Us too, but at least Uncle Scrooge will want to come with

Miles: Of course!!

Pixal: It would be best to obtain parental permission for the minors, as to avoid kidnapping.

Arin: Lloyd?

Lloyd: I’m not your parent????

Earth: Sounds like something a parent would say

Water: You’re one to talk

Earth: At least I admit it

Kim: Cole has kids???

Air: Yeah, Wu

Sora: And Fritz and Spitz!!

Kagami: I was under the impression Wu was an adult

Zane: He is. Master Wu is significantly older than Cole

Fire: By a few thousand years lmao

Two Duck: Wait what

Zane: He’s adopted

Earth: You’re not helping

Air: Oh she’s not trying to

Alya: Back up, you named your kids Fritz and Spitz??

Earth: Nah, they named themselves

Gwen: Trans moment

Water: Surprisingly not, actually
Cole just keeps adopting random orphans, it’s a problem

Earth: Don’t even act like like Sora doesn’t have you wrapped around their finger

Water: Unlike you fools, we actually communicate
I’m the wine aunt

Fire: What does that make me?

Lloyd: The weird uncle

Pixal: Lloyd, you only have one uncle

Lloyd: I said what I said

Earth: That’s my son you’re talking about!!

Miles: WHAT is this family tree?!?!!??

Chapter Text

Zane: To clarify- Lloyd’s biological uncle is Cole’s adoptive son, Cole is dating both Kai and Jay, Jay is married to Nya, Nya and Kai are biological siblings who have adopted Lloyd as their little brother.

Lena: My brain is broken

Max: So Cole is Lloyd’s great uncle?

Fire: Also worth mentioning is that Wu had legal custody of all of us except Cole and Jay when we were minors *thumbsup*

Non-spider arthropod: how does it keep getting worse???

Fenton: I really want to try to map this out

DW: Please don’t

Sora: Wu’s bio dad is god, if you guys even care

Red Duck: I have so many questions

Two Duck: Don’t ask any of them

Lloyd: tbh there’s not much more to it

Zoe: Kindly, I do not believe that for a second

Water: Fair enough

Miles: Not to derail the conversation, but do y’all think I should tell my parents about you guys coming?

Non-spider arthropod: Yes???

Gwen: Don’t let your mom cook for us

Miles: You think I “let” my mom do anything?
She does what she wants
I just won’t tell her you guys are enhanced
Our food budget has doubled since I told her I was spiderman

Kim: How much do you eat??

Pav: A lot
Our metabolism is off the charts

Adrien: Well if we’re gonna be around out of uniform, we’ll need food for our kwamis

Blue Duck: What are those

Felix: The deities that give us our powers, they like snacks

Miles: What kind of snacks?

Alya: Mari’s got a list somewhere

Non-spider arthropod: I am not putting your poor mother through that
Most of them are chill with fruit, or would vibe with whatever you put in front of them, if you could provide cheese for Plagg that’d be appreciated but Adrien has it covered if not

Adrien: I love Plagg to the ends of the earth but he’s a demanding little bastard /aff
Dw about him

Miles: Cool, cool
Do we want to set a date?

Fire: We’re in between world-ending catastrophes right now so whenever’s good

One Duck: Same!!

Nino: I mean, we have school but weekends and most evenings are free

Non-spider arthropod: We shouldn't all leave at the same time tho :/

Alya: Girl, there aren’t akumas anymore

Non-spider arthropod: Stuff could still happen!!

Alya: Adrien

Adrien: On it
We’re safe, Mari. Everyone’s okay and that isn’t going to change anytime soon. We’re allowed to leave Paris, but if it would make you feel better, I can hang back until people start to get back.

Max: Don’t be silly

Kim: That’s my job!

Max: Kim and I will stay here for peace of mind

Non-spider arthropod: You don’t have to…

Max: It would make me feel better as well. I do not mind, nor does Kim

Kim: :thumbs-up:

Alya: Thanks guys, so this weekend?

Miles: It’s a plan :D

Chapter Text

I have no idea where the last year has gone, sorry folks. The next chapter has been half written for eleven months lmao

We're about to head into the finale, which is an in-person group meet up. I'm not sure how many parts I'm going to end up doing but I'd estimate 2-3. I didn't wanna update a year later in a different format (since we're moving from group chat to irl) with zero notice so consider this your warning! I will finish this fic by january so help me god

Also worth noting since its been a while: I am finishing the story I started a year and a half ago, which was speculative for some of the cast. I am not current on Miraculous, but DRs2 is fucking superb and would definitely affect how this story has progressed if it had come out prior to me starting this fic. All that to say, I am going to continue the characterization established in prior chapters, even if the canon characters have moved in ways that has affected how I would write them currently (*cough* Arin). If you're not here for ninjago, you can disregard this lol

See yall sometime!! (Sunday if I remember, but note that I forgot about this fic for a whole ass year so...)

Chapter Text

“Love ya, LP, but you don’t count as adult supervision.” Della says, swinging her duffle bag over her shoulder.

“Oh, I’m aware,” Launchpad acknowledges casually, “I’m surprised Donald isn’t coming, too.”

“Not everyone’s up for interdimensional travel, lad.” Scrooge says, appearing at the top of the foyer’s staircase. “Especially when we don’t know what we’re getting into.” He turns pointedly to the triplets sitting in the living room, even with his tone still primarily playful.

Huey’s the only one to notice their uncle’s gaze. “You said it was okay back when they first reached out.”

“And I maintain that these friends of yours seem to be truthful, at the very least regarding multiversal contact, but that doesn’t mean their world is safe.”

“Good chance it’s safer than here, though.” Lena says, walking in the front door with Webby and Violet.

“Regardless-” Violet starts, only to be cut off by Fenton running up behind her.

“The portal’s ready!”

In the ensuing few minutes, the family manages to get everyone going out of the house and ready for interdimensional travel. Checking in with all the kids, Della doesn’t even get a good look at the portal until they’re about to leave. The colors and shapes are constantly shifting, mesmerizing and terrifying, but in a way Della can only think of as captivating. The edges are soft, vibrant light fading into the air around it.

Della takes a steadying breath before a hand lands gently on her shoulder. “Ready, lass?” Her uncle asks.

“Am I?!” She counters excitedly, “Going beyond our world, somewhere even you haven’t been? It’s incredible!” Even with a small smile on his face, Scrooge’s gaze doesn’t waver, seeing right through her enthusiasm. She is looking forward to it, really, but… “I just want the kids to have fun,” She admits.

“I’m sure they’ll have a good time, lass. If something does go wrong, that’s never stopped us before.”

Slowly, Della begins to nod. “You’re right,” She relents.

“I always am.” Scrooge winks before he turns to get everyone’s attention. “No more dilly dallying, let’s see what the multiverse has to offer!!”

“This seems like a bit much, Miles.” Gwen says fondly, admiring the decorations he and his parents had set up on the rooftop. Streamers, balloons, blankets, and chairs all set out. Some games and an abundance of snacks lining tables near the stairway.

“We don’t do things halfway, Gwen,” Rio teases, “You should know that by now.”

“Trust me, I do.” She laughs, just as a portal opens up atop the quilt they had set up as a ‘landing zone,’ of sorts.

Out steps their first guest — Gwen being part of the set-up crew —: none other than Peter B. Parker. “Miles, Gwen!” The older greets, the former sprinting over to give him a hug immediately. Gwen can’t help but smile, Peter might not be in the chat, but Miles’s parents asked if he was coming and Miles would never say no to a visit from his mentor. “Am I early?” He asks, looking around.

“Better than late.” Jefferson greets, stepping towards the pair. “How’s the family?”

“Good! Wanna see pictures?” Peter asks, already reaching for his phone.

“Nope!” Gwen interrupts, webbing Peter’s phone right out of his hand. “People are arriving any minute, save the chitchat for later.”

Gasping in mock-offense, Peter raises a hand to his chest. “There is nothing neither chitty nor chatty about baby pictures!!”

“There definitely is, Miles?”

“I will be staying out of this,” The local spider says resolutely.

“Oooo, should we go?” Asks a familiar voice. Turning towards the source, Gwen finds Pav with a group of teenagers coming through a portal behind him. “I mean, we just got here, but…”

“No way! You could not drag me away from an interdimensional superhero social screaming and crying.” A girl with wavy red hair and glasses declares, stepping forward. “Alya Césaire, pleasure to meet you.” She says, whipping out a hand to the nearest person, who just happens to be Mile’s dad.

He hesitates only momentarily before greeting her with a firm handshake she doesn’t bat an eye at. “Lieutenant Morales,” He says in return.

Miles’s attention is then taken by the arrival of the Ducks, who he expects to struggle with the species change. “Flesh monsters!!!” The largest among them exclaims, pointing at one of his companions.

A kid – who Miles assumes is Dewey, based on there being two others who look nearly identical to him and his shirt being blue – moves closer to the man. “LP, it’s me. We talked about this, yeah?”

“... Oh.” Launchpad blinks, now perfectly calm. Another… former duck, Miles supposes, around his the former’s laughs lightly nudging his neighbor amusedly.

Only moments later does Pav return with the ninja in tow, and the party properly begins.
