Let's do the Time Warp [Ask]

"Time-Sled Mini, on."

Franklin sat in the driver's seat of this father's prototype creation: a Fantasticar (bathtub model), tricked out with Time Sled capabilities. Serving as a more portable and convenient time travel vehicle, Reed Richards hoped that it could be used to efficiently (and safely) explore timelines with minimal upkeep. 

"Space distorter, turned on. Time displacer, online."

Reed's son was going to be the test pilot, albeit without his father's knowledge. He was going to take a trip to the future, learn about future medicines and cures, and come back home with a full report before his family even knew he left.

"Engaging chevrons! Five... four... three..."

The lights were on, the machinery was up and running, and time-smoke was pouring out from the space-exhaust in the back. Now was the time for Franklin's journey into the future.

"Two... one..."

The machine was enveloped with time-light, and Franklin and his ship would fade away from the lab-space. Within a moment, he would leave the current world and slip through the time-stream, traveling to worlds unknown as he ventured through time and space.

"Blast off!"

The next thing Franklin new, the ship landed on a bed in someone's bedroom. A teen boy's bedroom, from the looks of it. The Sled's weight made the bed creak, and would likely break the bed if it stayed on.

Franklin looked around the room. To his surprise, he was sharing it with... Spider-Man? A smaller one, with a different costume. Did this mean Franklin was in the past, or the future?

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"

[bio858]

Miles was ready to once again, go on his daily patrol throughout the borough of Brooklyn. Both of his parents, and Ganke's parents, were out in work, and Ganke was currently in the bathroom taking a shower. His buddy would come back later to look at the computer to be Miles' "backup" so to speak.

I do wonder when he and and his mom are gonna find a new place. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I'll actually miss having a roommate.

Of course, he couldn't currently ponder on this thought. He had a city to keep safe after all. As he opened his window, attempting to jump out, and start swinging.

That was when an unwanted guest just randomly teleported inside his room. As he heard a sudden THUD, he turned around to see...a kid in some strange white get-up. But the really strange sight was the futuristic looking sled suddenly encompassing his room, with it on top of his bed.

"Wh-What!? Who are you!?"

[Gordy]

"More powerful than Thor, Hulk or the Surfer."
------------------------------------------------------

Well, this was super awkward. But the kid didn't sound like his Spider-Man, so it probably wasn't him? That just left several theories: he was in the future and this was Spidey's replacement, or this was one of the regular Spider-derivatives. Or both, even. Spiders were eternal.

"Dude, I mean you no harm," Franklin told the Spider-Kid. "I'm Franklin Richards, a humble time-traveler from the year 2018. And, uh, my Time-Sled accidentally crashed into your room. Because of time travel."

Was this making sense? 

Franklin's eyes caught the world outside the boy's window; it didn't look different from his time. Like, not at all. Either he didn't travel far enough into the future, or he didn't go forward in time at all. Either way, he'd better try again.

"I'm going to 2038," the boy continued. "You can come, if you'd like. You wanna meet your future self and see how you turn out?"

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"

[bio858]

Kid Arachnid was not sure who this kid was. He wasn't sure whether he was a threat, or a possible ally. Is he from the Young Avengers? Or someone else entirely?

Miles wasn't sure, but what he did know was that this kid was in his house. It's probably a blessing that he was in full-costume while the boy teleported in when he did. Otherwise, his identity might have been exposed. Hell, it's better that his family and Mrs. Lee was out.

He had no idea how to explain to them who this kid was, and why Kid Arachnid was hanging out in their son's room.

But for now, he had to confront the kid. Luckily, the kid in the white get-up with the 5 on his chest answered.

"Dude, I mean you no harm, I'm Franklin Richards, a humble time-traveler from the year 2018. And, uh, my Time-Sled accidentally crashed into your room. Because of time travel."

Miles merely gave him a dead-pan stare, a stare his mask seemed to emulate. It basically encapsulated what he felt at this time.
"You-traveled from the year to 2018, to....2018, just to break into this kid's room, and crash your uh, bathtub on his bed?"

He had no idea what to make of this. "Umm, I'm gonna assume the best and that you didn't mean to break into this kid's house, but I'm gonna hope you plan to move your bathtub back to where it came from right?"

He also needed to address the fact that the young man talked about heading to the future. "Also, thanks for the offer, but something tells me this thing can't actually time travel."

Chances are, Miles was wrong, and this kid could take this current opportunity to prove it.

[Gordy]

"More powerful than Thor, Hulk or the Surfer."
------------------------------------------------------

The time space traveler sighed. "Look, time travel's harder than it looks. You know, almost all time travel is also space travel? Because the Earth is always moving and spinning. Rotating. So you gotta... adjust your travels, you know?"

Spider-Kid didn't know. And after giving Franklin a deadpan stare, the boy went so far as to say that the Fantasticar-slash-Time-Sled couldn't travel through time. Just to show him, our hero began fiddling with the controls once more. It was time to make his exit.

"Well, allow me to prove you wrong," Franklin answered. "Goodbye, dude."

And with the flip of a switch and turn of the dial, the room was enveloped in light. Franklin could once again feel himself falling out of time and entering the stream, traveling to worlds unknown.



The light faded, and Franklin had once again landed. Only this time, he was in... a different bedroom. Yet despite the change of scenery, the Spider-Man from before was still standing in front of him, along with some of the papers and posters from his room. Except, instead of hanging on the wall or on a desk, they had fallen to the floor.

"... Whoops," Franklin muttered. "Seems I... accidentally brought you along. Hold on, I can fix it."

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"

Tommy zipped back and forth from his massive pile of make up work to his Zelda game and back again."Ugh..I dont which is worse,this shrine or mr Calvin's Physics homework Speed was never the most studious individual and especially when compared to his brother Wiccan,though over time he found plenty of "creative" ways to slack off while also maintaining a decent B minus average.

A Ding was heard and the speedster skidded to a halt in front of his closet and retrieved his anti friction suit from its hiding spot in the ceiling and put it on in a whirlwind of seconds.Speed did some fancy boxing footwork and threw a few superfast punches in the mirror,prepping for a night of solo patrol.When Tommy patrolled the city alone and not with the young avengers he had a simple goal: rescue and assist any unregistered heroes being accosted by shield or in a pinch where they would otherwise be detained."Alrighty time for a good night of...uhhh"

The snowy haired teen raised an eyebrow as one of the strangest things he had seen in the last couple days went down right in his bedroom.A blonde haired kid with a white supersuit wielding what seemed like a teleporting Sled and his superpowered Spider friend Kid Arachnid."Ok i dont know whats going on here but that thing is AWESOME!!..sup Spidey was hoping i would run into you on our patrols so this is convenient i suppose heh heh.Speed would fist bump with miles before cocking his head slightly while pointing at Franklin"hey man i could swear i saw you on the news one time chasing some teleporting bird or something"

[bio858]

The young boy said his goodbyes, along with some challenge about proving Miles wrong, before teleporting himself in his bathtub out of Morales' room.

Too bad he took Kid Arachnid with him. "Wait, wh-"

He would end up finishing his sentence in another teenager's room.
"-at's going on?"

He then looked around his surroundings, realizing they were in another room. Particularly, Speed's room, as the Young Avenger entered inside to see Kid Arachnid with Franklin Richards.

"Ok i dont know whats going on here but that thing is AWESOME!!..sup Spidey was hoping i would run into you on our patrols so this is convenient i suppose heh heh."

Speed would run up to give Miles a fist bump, which Miles accepted, albeit barely, as he was still getting used to his current predicament.

"Uh, yeah, nice to see ya again..um Speed."

Kid Arachnid would make a fist, to accept the fist bump. He would then turn towards Franklin Richards, figuring out what had just gone on. "So, you're bathtub just likes to teleport into other people's bedrooms? You sure it isn't some kind of of bed-traveling machine, and not a time machine?"

[Gordy]

"More powerful than Thor, Hulk or the Surfer."
------------------------------------------------------

Okay, sweet. Spidey and... this guy know each other. Speed, right? From the Young Avengers? He at least knew of them. And since the guy wasn't an adult or something, they must have still been in or around present time. Was Franklin ever going to leave 2018 behind again?

"So, you're bathtub just likes to teleport into other people's bedrooms? You sure it isn't some kind of of bed-traveling machine, and not a time machine?"

"Look, I told you that time travel also involves traveling through space," Franklin sighed. "Like, the world around us. I got the space part down, so I just need to get the time part working, and we're good to go."

Franklin fiddled with the controls. There was a... a time distortion. Something nearby that was fiddling with the controls. They'd have to find it and stop it, or at least take the Time-Sled back to the lab and adjust it to account for the anomaly. Maybe they could do it after the trip, hopefully.

To Speed, he said, "'sup. So I'm Franklin Richards, otherwise known as Psi-Lord. You're probably wondering why me and Spidey are in your bedroom. 'm traveling to the future via time machine, and your buddy accidentally got caught up in the teleportation... thingie."

He knew what he was talking about. Really.

"... Don't suppose you guys wanna come? Maybe it's destiny that the time machine brought us all together?"

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"

Speed could immediately tell Spidey was as confused as Tommy and chuckled lightly at the arachnids analysis of the time sled.The blonde haired kid spoke up as he seemed to be troubleshooting the tub.

'sup. So I'm Franklin Richards, otherwise known as Psi-Lord. You're probably wondering why me and Spidey are in your bedroom. 'm traveling to the future via time machine, and your buddy accidentally got caught up in the teleportation... thingie."

Tommy nodded confirming his fairly unimaginable alias."hmm ok Psi Lord...how exactly does a kid like us get ahold o...ohhh" The speedster answered his own question realizing that the mysterious bathtub surfing time bandit happened to be related to Mr Fantastic and Sue Storm.Aside from hearing a likely bogus story about Dr Doom being in possession of a time platform at one point,Tommy could think of no one who would have potential access to time travel outside of the fantastic 4.At least that's what he always heard about the fan 4 growing up anyways.Speeds bright green eyes lit up when Psi Lord suggested the two tag along and immediately started vibrating slightly with excitement.

Whoa realy dude? I mean will we all fit in that tub?..aww come on Spidey,i mean when else are you gonna have the chance to hop to the future The speedster attempted to wash away Kid Arachnids slight apprehension and mock saluted franklin"energise"

[bio858]

"'sup. So I'm Franklin Richards, otherwise known as Psi-Lord. You're probably wondering why me and Spidey are in your bedroom. 'm traveling to the future via time machine, and your buddy accidentally got caught up in the teleportation... thingie."

Kid Arachnid felt obliged to correct Franklin on his mistake, given the circumstances. "He means his bathtub-bed machine traveled into the present into your bedroom. I really doubt this thing actually does what the kid here says it does."

Of course, Speed was still as excited as ever, and seemed to recognize the young kid with the 5 on his uniform. It did seem like the kid had some relation to the Fantastic Four, although Ganke would have better luck about knowing this particular fact.

Whoever the kid was, his identity seemed to assure Speed that the Bathtub-bed machine actually works.

"Whoa really dude? I mean will we all fit in that tub?..aww come on Spidey, I mean when else are you gonna have the chance to hop to the future?"

Kid Arachnid replied back with, "You mean when are we gonna hop onto another person's bed? I don't know, I imagine in the next few seconds, when the kid teleports us again."

Miles stepped inside the bathtub. "I think I'll just head back to where I was, so teleport me back to the kid's room you teleported into beforehand."

[Gordy]

"More powerful than Thor, Hulk or the Surfer."
------------------------------------------------------

Franklin crinkled his nose at Spidey's doubts. "Hey, for the record, something's messing with time and throwing off my coordinates. One we find it..."

Franklin fiddled with the keyboard and screen before him. The distortion seemed to be close by, because it was giving him more energy readings than earlier before. Either that, or it suddenly grew in size, or was expelling more time-warp...ness. 

"Okay, one more stop, I swear," he told the others. "We just need to fix a little problem, and then we'll be free to go to the future."

With everyone on-board (both figuratively and literally), our young hero returned to altering time. The Time-Sled enveloped the trio in a blinding glow, and the world around them disappeared as they slipped through time itself.



Where would they be lead to? Where would they end up? The trio hurtled through a tunnel of light and strange shape, barreling forward and going down a path, until they once again reached a bright light. The process, while only taking up about one second of time, felt like racing down a narrow road on the side of a cliff.

The Time-Sled would bring them to... an alley in a city. The sounds of honking cars, people passing and birds squawking could be heard behind them. Pretty normal for New York. If anyone would look back, they would see that they were near a traffic-filled street. A hot dog vendor shouted to passers-by about his food's quality.

The alley itself was pretty normal: it was small, only barely fitting in the Time-Sled. The end of the alley was cut off by a chain-link fence, keeping people from running through the buildings (or touching the bags of trash that lay just beyond it.) There was also a young, possibly teenage girl in front of the fence, staring back at them.

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"

[Deleted]

Shock turned to loathing rage as Kiden Nixon glared at the... was that a bathtub?

Why was a bathtub... crushing the twenty-something year old mattress that she had procured from a fair Manhattan garbage dump five nights ago and had been using as a nice, comfortable bed since then?

It was HER ONLY COMFORTABLE PIECE OF FURNITURE DANGGIT!!!

"Who. The duck. Are you?" her words were venomous as they bore through the blond-haired boy dressed in a strange racing car driver costume, it looked like, with the number '5' on it. Then she looked at who else was in the bathtub, and saw a white-haired boy in an equally strange costume - why was everyone in tights these days - and...

"S-S-S-SPIDER-MAN?!" she gasped, placing a hand on her face and literally pinching her cheek to wake herself up from the daydream. Spider-Man?! In a bathtub?! On her bed!?

... if this was another one of Lil Bro's games she was going to strangle him, disabled or not.

"Y-You're Spider-Man!" she raised a finger, pointing at Kid-Arachnid, once she had determined that she wasn't dreaming. Immediately, she realised she had to do something, and she zoned into 'No Time', the world around her slowing to a halt.

Now that they were all frozen in place, Kiden walked over to 'Spider-Man', and was going to touch him to make sure if he was really real and not some imposter in a costume (the costume was different, but she had seen this version of 'Spider-Man' in action quite a few times too and knew he was legit, and had assumed that Spidey just changed duds every so often). Of course, she remembered her touch would probably break a few ribs if not outright kill him, and so she stopped.

"... Why the heck do I have Time Slowing powers when I can't even use them to sneak a kiss from guy?!" she whined, before sighing as she took a few steps away from 'Spider-Man' and the bathtub and zoned back into Real Time.

To her observers, she would've blurred out of ten feet away and reappeared right next to Franklin and the Gang. Faster than a speeding bullet, this one.

"Okay, so he," she pointed a thumb at Miles. "can stay here for as long as he wants to. The rest of you, start explaining why you crushed the only comfortable place where I could get some shut eye in this city. And it better. Be. Good."

The white haired Speedster watched as his bedroom melted away and the rag tag teen time travelers blazed through the timestream.Speed had traveled through dimensional rifts that fellow young avenger America uses as well as his brother Wiccan's transport spell but nothing quite like this.Then as quickly as it had started the tub time ride ended abruptly as they landed on what seemed like yet another bed,Though this time devoid of bedroom walls.Speed wrinkled his nose a bit before lowering his voice and nudging miles"Dude i think your right,this thing only teleports to beds and i..."

Speed's sentence was interrupted by an agitated sounding females voice "Who. The duck. Are you?"

Speed merely folded his arms and raised an eyebrow as a furious seeming blonde girl proceeded to throw her dagger like glare at team time tub."S-S-S-SPIDER-MAN?!" the angry expression was replaced with shock and it seemed Miles had a fan.

Despite the new girls ability to manipulate time which was unbeknownst to Tommy,the Young Avenger's acute accelerated perception immediately kicked in allowing him to follow Kiden's movements though she seemed to be moving very fast his brain fired off at full speed and his advanced perception allowed him to see a slight distortion of sorts around the girls blurry figure though he could not tell what is was and hypothesized that she used whatever energy the distortion produced to bend either time,space or both to effectively teleport.At least that's how it would seem to the others as they must have experienced the moment frozen in time very differently.Unlike the others speed was able to turn his head slightly to follow her movement and was a little creeped out and that she looked as if she were going to take advantage of Miles.

The distortion stopped and the girl returned to berating and threatening Tommy and Psi Lord.While the speedster did agree to go on their little tub shindig he honestly had no idea what that thing was capable of aside from using beds as a warp point,and even that he wasn't entirely sure of.Speed simply rolled his eyes and thumbed at Franklin.

"Look kid your problem resides with Fantastic five over here,i just agreed to go along for the ride cause it sounded fun.Hmph i don't respond so well to..Threats or heavy words" Speed let some malice drift into his speech pattern towards the end eyeing the newcomer cautiously before looking to Psi Lord a bit annoyed and waiting for answers.

[bio858]

As they warped once again, Miles felt uneasy, especially in the stomach. His eyes were spinning, his mind wandering. Were they actually going to the future?

The answer would be:

"Dude i think your right,this thing only teleports to beds and i..."

Another bed, oh why am I not surprised!? Miles thought to himself.

That thought would be interrupted when a young blonde girl called out to him, calling him

"S-S-S-SPIDER-MAN?!"

It wasn't new. He's been mistakenly called Spider-Man many times before. But, unlike other heroes, he never felt insulted by being assumed to be someone else. In some cases, it felt like he must've been doing his job right to be treated like the original. Like he was living up to the spider name. But, he felt it was also his responsibility to correct the kind citizen, despite her being a huge fan. Too bad he never noticed she was no normal fan, given her time slowing abilities. Especially when she suddenly appeared randomly right next to them.

"Woah, your fast.". Deciding to get back into focus, he decides to quickly correct the girl. "I'm not actually him, I'm Kid Arachnid. Nice to meet you though."

He extended his hand out for a hand-shake. As he did so, he replied to her greeting of letting him stay.

"As much as I'd like to..." He would look around in the alley, realizing this poor girl was homeless. "I can't. My friend-" Miles would point to Speed. "-and I were brought along by the kid with the 5 on his chest. He's been teleporting us from bed to bed on his bathtub bed-machine, although he claims it's a time machine."

He decided to step off the bathtub, but was still a bit close to possibly get pulled along for another teleport if the device activated again.

"Come on Speed. We should get back home. This thing is just gonna transport us to another bed. Although I guess it may teleport us into another powered person's bed, given the trend and all."

He would look towards Franklin and said, "Thanks for the...weird adventure man, but I don't feel like crashing your bathtub onto another person's bed. It's probably not good for their privacy and all that."

[Gordy]

"More powerful than Thor, Hulk or the Surfer."
------------------------------------------------------

You know what? Frankin didn't much like this Spider-Man. The other one was always nice and cool with him. But Kid Arachnid just complained, acted sour and kept being a wet blanket. At least Speed was cool for an adventure, and he was defs getting an invite to the team after this.

"First off, maybe you should sleep in a shelter instead," Franklin told the woman, innocently unaware of the intricacies and struggles a homeless teenage girl faced. "Second off, we only crash-landed here because of you."

Franklin pointed at the girl dramatically. Oh boy, here it comes: his expert scientific conclusion that would save this mission and tie up everything with one fell swoop. The big finisher, the whole enchilada.

"She's the one who made the Time-Sled go haywire," he told the gang. "Its because her powers... are time-based. Those quick movements just now? Her affecting the flow of time. The ship must have been reacting to that."

BAM! ^{Hopefully he was right.}

"The obvious solution would be to take her with us, to the future," he explained. "I've been through this before: we take in the anomaly, and the ship can't detect it. It's like how you can smell an apple pie when it's in front of you, but not when it's inside your stomach."

Genius. Everyone's in awe. Wow.

"It's up to you, though," he told the girl. "But wouldn't you like to come aboard and travel 30~ years into the future?"

------------------------------------------------------
"I can do this!"
