“What’s going on? Where is Miles?” Jessica demanded the second she and Billy Braddock were through the portal. “And what was that goth guy?”

“Miles has been recovered by two of my most trusted teammates,” Billy promised. “And that 'goth guy,' Morlun, is a bloody huge problem. He and his family have spent weeks hunting down everyone with Spider-Powers throughout the multiverse and feasting on them, draining their energy. It’s… horrifying.”

“And that’s what he would have done to me?” Jessica asked. "If we hadn't run?”

“Exactly,” Billy said sadly. “In all of reality, across the Great Web of Life and Destiny, only one Spider Totem has managed to defeat him by the narrowest of margins, twice. And one of those times involved that Spider-Man dying first. That's not a trick I'm willing to count on working on for us.”

“Oh. Then why are we not with your friends right now?” Jessica checked. "Strength in numbers, right?"

“We're burdened with a lack of time and resources, I’m afraid,” Billy said. “We're trying to build an army right now, so everyone is in a mad scramble to find what Spiders we can and get them to safety. But at the same time, we understand that Morlun's family are trying to find a place called Fandom. You’re familiar with it?”

“I went to high school there, but I'm guessing you know that," Jessica noted.

"Have your transcript right here," Billy said, tapping the device on his wrist. "Graduated last year? Good for you. Education is important. Surely you've learned how important Fandom is to the multiverse, correct?"

"Yeah, it's a multidimensional hub, weird things happen," Jessica said.

"Fandom is a place where powerful beings and poorly run transportation companies regularly toy with space and time itself, even now when known space-time is at it's weakest," Billy explained. "Not only that, but it was the final realm standing against the Nothing! It's a little insane to consider how vital this small island is to the multiverse."

"Which would explain why Morlun's family is looking for it," Jessica said. "Okay. I'm in. What's the plan?"

"I was hoping you could figure that part out, in fact," Billy admitted. "I don't know Fandom intimately enough. I certainly don't know how it works. But I can give you a name and a way to get to him quickly. There was apparently a clone of Peter Parker named Ben Reilly in Fandom years ago. With this wrist device, you should be able to reach him quickly." Billy handed her what looked like a glowing, pink spider bracelet.

Jessica placed the device on her wrist immediately and started looking for this 'Ben Reilly' guy on it. "So the goal is to keep these people out of Fandom. I think have a plan. Or at least the start of a plan. So these Morlun guys all come from the same world?"
Billy Braddock

"As far as I can tell, 'these Morlun guys,' or as they're properly called, the Inheritors originate on Earth-001," Billy explained. "Is that at all helpful?"
Jessica Drew

"It might be," Jessica said, inputting coordinates on the device. As the portal opened up behind her, she said, "I'll let you know if it works. If it doesn't, I'll be too dead to call."

"That's seeing the bright side," Billy said. "Good luck. We're desperately counting on you."
