Civil War Part 11
//
"Hi, good morning. Thanks for coming. I'm here today because, well, because I have an announcement to make"
"Um, as most of you probably know, I've, uh, guarded my secret identity pretty carefully over the years... and it's only after a long talk with my family that I've decided to take the following step"
"But as a super hero who supports the registration act, I have full confidence in them, so this press conference is to tell everyone..."
"You all know me as Spider-Man, but the people closest to me call me..."
Speaking until there, Spider-Man begins to remove his mask and continues saying:
"Peter Parker"
When the mask was in his hand and did not cover his face.
The people present at the conference were in an uproar at this news.
And the rest of the world who saw it through a screen were in shock.
All organizations realized that this was a bold move on Tony Stark's part.
With this they knew that the Pro-registration side would gain followers and more support.
As for the anti-registration side, they were cursing Stark's clever move.
But with this, both sides knew there was no turning back.
And what they start doing from now on will define them.

Alex's group had also seen the Spider-Man press conference.
"Oh, so that boy that Natasha trains is called that" Riri said a little surprised.
"Yeah, but it seems that this one is dumber than the one in our universe, since he didn't know how to choose a good teacher" Wanda said with a ridiculous tone towards Peter's actions.
"You're right. Now that his identity is public, all the villains he has defeated will come to visit him at his home" Psylocke added seriously.
"Alex, will we help him?" Laura asked when she saw that he was deep in thought.
Alex looks at Laura and nods his head while saying:
"Of course we'll help him. Riri, have Alexa keep an eye on him"
Riri nods her head and starts using her bracelets.
Even without Laura telling him, he will help the spider boy, after all he nearly lost his Aunt May over this.
But Alex was really surprised that things are following the plot of Civil War, even when he saved the people of Connecticut.
But he quickly dismissed those thoughts and just concentrated on trying to make sure there are no casualties in this war.

In the park where Sentry and Alex had fought, it is fenced off and under repair.
Near that place appears a woman with a hood who looks around.
"This is the place where that energy similar to mine was used, and it's even stronger than mine" the woman muttered to herself as she looked out over the park.
By walking more closely and avoiding people, she better examines the place.
"There's a trail" she said quietly.
The woman stealthily activated her powers and followed that trail of energy.
Although she knew the other party would notice, she didn't care.
She knew that the other party could remove traces of its energy just like her, that meant the other party didn't mind her looking for it.
And that she discovered when she saw that the trail seemed to call her. Hesitating only a few seconds, she followed it, disappearing into the crowd.

Alex was currently sitting on his bedroom balcony admiring the stars in the sky while he was lost in his thoughts of the war of heroes.
Now that Spider-Man's identity has come to light, the next thing would be the battle of the two sides, the death of Goliath and in the end, Spider-Man's defection from the Pro-registration group.
Wanda got out of bed when she didn't feel Alex.
Looking around, she finds him sitting on a chair on the balcony.
The other girls have their own bedroom and only on special occasions do they sleep together, and Alex is the one who visits them at night.
That night he accompanies Wanda.
"What are you doing?" Wanda asked.
"Nothing, I just wanted to admire the stars" Alex answered as he pulled her into his arms.
Wanda doesn't resist and rolling her eyes, she says:
"Surely you are thinking about how to help these heroes, right?"
Alex just smiles and gently strokes her back.
Wanda snuggles up gently and she says:
"You must be careful when helping them, since I felt something strange between those heroes, especially in that guy in yellow who gets bigger"
Alex is surprised, since now that he remembers, the current Henry Pym is a Skrull, and it's amazing that Wanda realized his strangeness.
Sensing Alex's gaze, she says:
"Even though my mental abilities aren't as powerful as Emma's, I can still realize that"
"Then why didn't you tell me before?" Alex curiously asked.
"I had forgotten about that" Wanda answered while she relaxed.
Alex is speechless at how carefree she can be when she cares about him.
"Do you really want to meet your counterpart from this reality?" Alex asked out of the blue.
Wanda is silent for a few seconds.
"I don't care, but you should know that seeing our children can put her in an unstable state" Alex gently reminded Wanda who had kept silent.
"I know, but I still want to meet her, I'm a little curious" Wanda said calmly.
At that moment, Est appears next to them and says:
"Father, someone is approaching the mansion"
"Don't worry, I'll take care of it" Wanda replied for Alex.
The girl nods and goes back to her room.
Getting up and breaking away from Alex's embrace, Wanda says:
"Well, it's time for me to go meet my self from this universe"
Finishing speaking, she left the room heading to where the twins and Illyana sleep.
Alex just sighed, hoping this doesn't get complicated.
