In a dark space, Jonathan was suddenly flooded with various VR-like projections.
"So… that wasn't a dream…"
Looking down, Jonathan found that he was still only wearing his boxers and unfortunately…
"I didn't get any clothes"
Thinking of what's going to happen… Jonathan could not help but worry.
"I fucking hope I don't appear in the middle of the street-"
[The blessed one's request has been received, proceeding to transport to a private area]
"No! Wait! Clothes! GIVE ME CLOTHES!"
[Report: The user could only make one request, the request has been taken, proceeding with transfer finalization]
"FUCK!"
Jonathan screamed and then-
*thud*
"Ow…"
He fell, on his back, and as he did he felt a gaze-
"Uhm… so… the thing is-"
Jonathan instinctively closed his eyes, he did not know what kind of place he was sent to but he did not want to make a scene.
But he did not hear a scream or any extreme reaction, instead what he heard was silence.
"..."
He paused, waited for a moment before slowly opening his eyes and when he did-
"Ah!"
What greeted him was the face of a blonde teen, her short blonde hair and blue eyes showed her possible origin and also a mark on to where he might have found himself in.
'Marvel world… blonde hair and blue eyes… high likelihood that I am in the US or somewhere in EU… won't discount Southern America, Canada or some asian countries though…'
As his thoughts raced, Jonathan turned to the side avoiding the woman's gaze and what he saw were-
"Dr. Pepper-"
Seeing the familiar can, Jonathan already had a high assurance that this was the US, it was not because of the paper bag that had the White Castle Logo on it, well that was the nail in the coffin though.
"Are you thirsty?"
Jonathan was lying on his back wearing nothing but a pair of boxers, he had forgotten the fact that he was in a random woman's room.
His mind had focused on understanding his situation but forgot about the young woman who did not scream or try to kill him after he appeared practically naked in her room.
In essence, Jonathan treated the woman with no reaction as air but as he stopped screaming and spoke out "Dr. Pepper" the woman asked him whether he was thirsty but-
"Wait! Is that how you react to seeing a naked man in your room?"
Jonathan felt a weird sense of loss as he retorted and turned to the woman.
She was currently sitting on her bed, her slender legs crossed.
Wearing a pair of cute but weirdly alluring hot pants and a loose fitting white shirt, the blonde woman stared at him curiously as he stood up with a shout.
"Well, a naked man is already weird but I'm more curious about how you got here in the first place."
Without batting an eye, the woman scanned Jonathan from head to toe. Her eyes looked for anything that would have allowed him to appear suddenly.
"That!... even I don't know…"
Jonathan who was still high on pride was about to respond but soon lost steam as he realized how crazy his situation was.
Kidnapped by some multidimensional, God-like entity? Who would believe that?
Jonathan did not know how to put it into words but-
'She's oddly calm despite being in such a weird situation'
Looking around, Jonathan found that the woman's room was- norma.
'It is suspiciously normal'
The young man thought.
Was it weird to be normal?
Well, it wasn't if she reacted normally. But-
'Her oddly calm reaction contrasts with her extremely normal room and appearance'
Jonathan was the type of person to look into things deeply, he was a fan of mystery books and shows.
Sometimes, what's normal is abnormal and what's abnormal is normal. The key to understanding is to have a mind that could spot oddities.
There is no perfect disguise or perfect crime, everything will have a trace and Jonathan who spent quite some time reading on such things found the odd contrast between the woman and her environment.
It was like seeing a polar bear in the Sahara, not impossible but it would not happen naturally. It was…
'Deliberate'
Jonathan went silent, he stared at the woman before him, her appearance being more of an enigma than it was anything else.
He was not hypnotized by her beauty, figure or appearance. But-
'Now that I take a closer look… Her figure is very… athletic, almost perfect, her proportions are alluring but not exaggerated and her face is very clear… with her current appearance… it is normal for any man to-'
"Who are you?!"
Jonathan quickly took a step back, his eyes turned serious as he took a defensive stance.
He did not really master any martial art but he did train in fighting.
His younger brother had trained in Jiu Jitsu and Judo while his older brother trained in Muay Thai and Krav Maga.
Both of his siblings wanted to become hunters and joined the military, prior to that they were athletes who were deep into martial arts.
Due to this, Jonathan, as the middle child, ended up being pulled into their lessons.
He didn't advance much but he did learn the foundational knowledge and it was a good way for him to release some steam.
Despite not being a black belt or master, Jonathan earned experience and his body was trained.
Not perfect, but he maintained an active lifestyle, he disliked going to the gym as he saw body building as inefficient.
He disliked combat but he preferred to build a body that was efficient and this led to him building a medium type of body.
When he wore his semi-baggy clothes, he looked like a thin bean sprout but without clothes…
Taking his stance, Jonathan showed a certain level of ability, his muscles tensed prepared for battle which made the lines of his body become more prominent.
"Ohh~ Damn that's hot!" *whistle*
The blonde woman suddenly spoke out in a friendly manner but Jonathan was not fazed.
But, his tense state turned to shock upon hearing the woman's next words-
"You know, the person who should be tense and worried is me… but… well how about we introduce ourselves first? My name is Gwen Stacy!"
The blonde, Gwen Stacy, extended her hand, others would have been shocked.
How could a woman just let her guard down when facing a man who had shown such a dangerous side of him?
Any other woman would have dialed 911 the moment Jonathan took a combative stance but-
'Gwen Stacy… wait! Is she Spider-Gwen?!'
Jonathan's mind was a flux-
'Her unfazed state… and the danger I feel from her… she's most likely Spider Gwen so… '
Jonathan gulped, he relaxed a bit as he extended his hand towards Gwen Stacy and as their hands shook-
"Jonathan Harper, I-"
The young man paused, he did not know what to say, there were many things that he could start of with but-
'I don't know what point of time I was sent in but-'
"I come from another… uhm, a parallel universe- I think… at least that is what the asshat who sent me here said… if I remember it correctly"
With such an introduction, Jonathan had made first contact with a person from another universe.
